Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / November 2005Wal-Mart $40 RazR V3
I was in Wal-Mart today and saw with a new activation with NO rebates can get a RazR V3 with Cingular for $40 or $75 with T-Mobile. I a interested in the Cingular. I want to start new service but Cingula has a deal with my company that has no activation fees and a 19% of any plan. Anyone know if I buy the phone at Wal-Mart how I still ge no activation fee, I am assuming the 19% off the plan i can always cal cust service and get that deal -- wpbear >I was in Wal-Mart today and saw with a new activation with NO rebates I >can get a RazR V3 with Cingular for $40 or $75 with T-Mobile.

I don't have specific experience with the Walmart deal, but Why pay $40 when you can get two RAZR's for free at Tiderdirect.com? BTW, I bet you don't get the RAZR for $40. You probably pay full price, then you are offered multiple mail in rebates that bring the price down to $40. You probably have to wait 180 days before submitting the rebates, and any change in your rate plan or late payments make you ineligible for the rebates.

I'd take $40 out the door over the possibility of getting my $200 back anytime. > I was in Wal-Mart today and saw with a new activation with NO rebates I > can get a RazR V3 with Cingular for $40 or $75 with T-Mobile.

YOu run into problems when you buy phones from authorized dealers online (i.e. Wirefly, Tiger, etc.) Most of the time you enter into a 6 month contract with the online companies as well as your 1 or 2 year contract with Cingular. Buy it from Wal-mart and then go into a Cingular store and ask them to apply your business discount to your account. You'll need proof that you work there such as a name badge or a paystub before they'll add it. I hope this helps. . If you have any questions about Cingular just e-mail me. > Buy it from Wal-mart and then go into a Cingular store > and ask them to apply your business discount to your account.

They'll switch me in the store? I'll have to ask. > It was my understanding that my business discount was available *only* > if I order from CBO. I bought a phone at Fry's Electronics, adding it to an account that had a employee affiliation discount. That was not a problem. I see Best Buy has the Black V3 for $39.99 after rebates, with cingular.

They called someone on the phone and state they could only offer a $100 price match, bringing the phone to $99 a Cingular. But no activation fee. So total price difference was $2 from Walmart and the Cingular store. I got it through the store onl so I knew all the paperwork and plans were correct. Also, the Wal-Mart deal is a straight price, NO rebates. That is why liked it. The tigerdirect deals you do not get your money for 180-?? days and I have heard a lot of people doing one step wrong and neve getting the money. So far I played with ROKR and the V3 and like them both. I an learning the MPT software and making ringtones. Only problem is tha the V3 has bootloader 8.26, so no unlocking yet. I travel to Europe South Am, and Asia a lot and it is cheaper to use a local SIM -- wpbear wpbear Wrote: > Thanks for the response.

But if you are only paying $40 plus for the phone it may b worth it to you. I am a cell tech and we are not performing this fo customers yet because of the warranty issues but I have successfull unlocked V3's with bootloader 8.26 for friends who have enough mone that they just don't care.. I can un lock any Motorola Razr V3 even if it has bootloader 8.26, even without takeing the phone apart.

Some months back I bought two of the silver ones when I decided to upgrade my phones and change from Nextel to Cingular. But now, in the glare of 20-20 hindsight, that was a bad idea. It's too easy for my wife & I to grab the wrong phone. What would be the best (read: least expensive) way for me to exchange a silver one for a black one--all other things to stay the same? Anyone wanna trade? Dusty San Jose ... > What would be the best (read: least expensive) way for me to exchange a > silver one for a black one--all other things to stay the same? Anyone > wanna trade? I saw in a magazine once where you can buy these rhinestone things that stick on the phone to make it look like one of those movie star bling bling (I am so getting tired of that expression but it about covers the whole look) Then your wife can decorate hers so you won't be grabbing the wrong one. Cingular probably even has some way you can decorate one. I know the old fashion ones you could just change the face plates I don't know about the Razr.

Or try this, we both have Did that--in fact we do that now. But unless you open it and actually look at it, it's still prone to error. Yeah, yeah, I know, take a bit more care... We do that now. But not until after a few more than simply amusing instances of swapped phones...(:-o)! > LG1300's. Mine is in a leather case, wifey's is in a plastic holster. Already screwed that up by having bought two identical cases when I bought the identical phones...(:-o)! Besides, the cases we got are so hard to attach on the fanny-pack belts that they're more trouble to remove than they're worth. At any rate, this should all be moot soon enough. Thanks to a tip from "bamp", I found a plethora of new face-plates and stick on covers of all sorts. I had no idea that alternate covers were available. Not to mention that "only" a 1,000 or so were available on eBay... I just got the ping from PayPal that my cover had shipped. Now, if only I could find somebody that makes those covers...I have an idea for a custom design that I'd like to explore... But that's probably the basis for a different thread. Thanks again to all those that replied with salient info. It was much appreciated... Dusty > It's too easy for my wife & I to grab > the wrong phone. Wrong. If "it's too easy for me to grab the wrong phone," then "it's too easy for my wife and me to grab the wrong phone." These are both correct. You wouldn't say "it's too wrong for I to grab the wrong phone," therefore you wouldn't say "it's too wrong for my wife and I go grab the wrong phone". It's not always "you and I", people. Your parents told you that, but you never learned the context. "Me and Jimmy are going to the park." Your parents corrected you: "Jimmy and I are going to the park." You took that "...and I" to be written in stone every time you talk about yourself and someone else, and that's not how it works. ... > You wouldn't say "it's too wrong for I to grab the wrong phone," > therefore you wouldn't say "it's too wrong for my wife and I go grab the > wrong phone". Gee! That was useful--not to mention, helpful. I feel so much better now. So chastened. So refreshed. So...so...so...defiled... FOAD! Dusty |
