Hi,I am also wanting to upgrade 3 phones and obviously have a family plan. When I try to buy this, it is forcing me to take a plan also for each phone, which I do not want. Any ideas if I will be able to keep my existing plan. I called up Cingular and they had no clue. Amazon says that they will cancel the plans that I am buying.Also will I be eligible for the Cingular and Amazon rebates.

Hello, Mohsen. My cellphone is not unlocked when I got it first, but I contacted with the seller. The seller is very nice to give me an unlocked code, then my cellphone is unlocked finnally. So, I think you can contact with the seller, if you receive a cellphone has the same problem with me. I used it out of U.S. this winter break, all of the internet work went well. I didn't find something wrong with it until now. When I came back, I used it in T-mobile service it still works well. What I think Why the price is low is because they only gave headphones,battery and recharger in that box. There is no more instrctions. It's kind of simply sealed. But the cellphone is new.

You can just buy one. More expensive than buying one through Verizon, but this way you don't have to wait to be eligible for upgrade or renew your contract. Getting a phone through veriZon will also take away your unlimited data plan if you have that. This is a good way to beat the system.

I find that when you call and say that you're calling to cancel your account, that you get switched to a new person who has more authority to cut deals. About a year ago I had Cingular and wanted a new phone to move to their GSM network. I tried without success to get a decent price on the Razr phone (expensive a year ago). I gave up and called to cancel. The cancel person offered me the Razr phone free if I'd stay with Cingular. My guess is that all of the services have these same "save the account" people.

There wasn't any rebate when I bought it but it was already on sale for less than $20. You can email customer service and the respond they are good about it.

That is not what I found. I talked with a customer service rep and she said that a $250 charger per new phone would be assessed if you port and old number from another carier into a new cingular account that you are purchasing from amazon.com I must say that the rep sounded kind of clueless but what she said was backed by written policies on the website. It's a shame though because the additional money to port makes the phones not worth the money

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, when I saw the rebate had gone I took them out of my cart and re-added them to try to get it back, but it didn't work. Is there any way to get it back?

I contacted Customer Service. The June 3 date is correct... the rebate is NOT in effect.I doubt they're intentionally trying to trick us; it's probably just a mistake. But, I contacted customer service, and they clearly know about it, so let's see how long it takes them to fix it...

i think they will keep the price. i called them 20days ago, i asked them, they just told me the price should be the same as you ordered. but i really want to know when can i get the phone. they can't let us wait such long time. release day should be 24th june, i hope i can get the phone the end of this month.

Good question! If you'll see my review you'll notice how PISSED I was that I went through everything to place my order, only to find out Amazon wanted to tack on an additional $40. per month to "connect to the web". I REQUIRE a PDA, I DO NOT need web access. My only guess is that is why it is cheaper than the cingular site. You don't have to have the "PDA" extra plan there. $40 EXTRA a month = $960 EXTRA for a 2 year plan. The phone is not worth that much!

Hi, Christy K.Is this a phone you are trying to purchase from AMAZON? I bought one that was Sprint ready last year, after my phone was stolen. I made sure it was supported by Sprint before I purchased it. I had no problems activating it. I hope this helps you.Rob H.

The promotion is a few weeks old. So it will take a few more weeks for people to start getting their rebates. I'm hoping everything works out, else I'm out $55. =/

I'm wondering if there's a rebate available if I order this now? Anyone know? I see no mention of it in the product description here at Amazon.

The deal is that you CANNOT port your phone number over as the phone is sent to you already activated. I didn't know that when I bought it. Neither did my friend, who called Cingular, ported the number, and now believes he will have to pay an additional $325 as a result. I see that one of the reviewers- Monkey Puppet- also learned this after the fact. If you don't need to port your number, it's the best deal around.

i'd love to know also, i would buy at that price, but the rebates are clear that you can't apply multiple rebates per purchase, Amazon are misleading people into purchasing by stating there is $450 in rebates available. Maybe Amazon would have to honor that if that is what they are stating?

I am not on contract (Even More Plus plan) on T-Mobile, have an unlocked phone and also use their 9.99 UNLIMITED data plan for feature-phones.This works out best ... the Even More Plus plans are way cheaper than the contract plans (because TMob doesn't have to subsidize your phone).

Thanks Bobster- I was also wondering where the link to the rebate had disappeared to. Why is the price of this item so labile? Yesterday, when I ordered it, it was $299 and today it's $364!
