Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / November 2005Can I re-subscribe to old plans?
Can I renew my old plan to get a subsidized phone without moving to a current plan? I have the 1000 anytime minutes for 39.99 and unlimited data (MEdia works) for 19.99 and do not want to lose the plan I have. Will I be forced to pick from current plans to get a new phone? Or can I renew for two years at my current rates? My old V400 is starting to show it's age, I have had to clean the contacts for the speaker twice to get full volume, and it does not get the same signal strength that the girlfriend's V3 seems to get.

Sheesh. >> Can I renew my old plan to get a subsidized phone without moving to a >> current plan? > > Just go buy a phone off ebay or somewhere. > > Sheesh. Pointless reply, as usual, thanks Phillipe. I can get a subsidised phone for less than half price (V3 $99.) since I have no plans to change service, why pay retail? Do you not seek out the lowest price, or do you just buy the most expensive version of what you want? FYI I did buy the V400 off e-bay, which is why I have to crack the case and fix the damn thing when it acts up, instead of using the warranty like someone who did not use e-bay.

I'm sure I just "happened" to start posting at the same time thousands of people disappeared from the Usenet. But since the world apparently revolves around you, only people whom you know of would count. Therefore, I must be who you say I am. Never mind that millions of others, in other newsgroups, would say I could be any of thousands of others. That doesn't matter, because the world revolves around you. > I can get a subsidised phone for less than half price (V3 $99.) > since I have no plans to change service, why pay retail? > > Do you not seek out the lowest price, or do you just > buy the most expensive version of what you want? I don't go to the Usenet to ask a question that can be answered only by Cingular. Are you shopping for answers, and you won't stop until you get the right one? >> I can get a subsidised phone for less than half price (V3 $99.) >> since I have no plans to change service, why pay retail?

So is that a yes? > Are you shopping for answers, and you won't stop until you get the right > one? Just don't want to sit on hold to speak to a rep, of course, you are doing your best to make this route unpalatable as well. What is your point? that you are a difficult person? why did you reply, if you had nothing to say? Bernard > > Are you shopping for answers, and you won't stop until you get the right > > one?

Yes -- if you are eligible for an upgrade, your current contract is simply extended.

Your phone selection is indeed limited. I buy my own. Nokia 6230's are still a bit high (I like mine), but Nokia 3120's are plentiful and cheap. Motorola v600's are getting cheap and even v551's are just a bit more. I have one VErizon account and still use a Motorola 270c with bluetooth. They're a bit big, great speakerphone, state of the art BT in 1999 when released and they analog. Way out west, digital just dont go everywhere. Buying like I do is a pain to start, but just how long would you like to keep your present plan? > Can I renew my old plan to get a subsidized phone without moving to a > current plan?

With MEdia Works Unlimited data at $19.99, and the 1000 anytime minutes promotional plan at $39.99, that's definitely a Cingular ("orange") customer, not a "blue" customer, for whom the phone selection is as good as any other GSM customer.

No, I am a cingular customer by choice, not by merger. I am trying to avoid buying another phone on Ebay, due to problems with the last one, that I was on my own to solve. I like to V3 that my girlfriend has, and would like to get the best buy price of 99 bucks, rather than the e-bay price of 200. plus taking the chance that nothing goes wrong with it in three months. Bernard > I like to V3 that my girlfriend has, and would like to > get the best buy price of 99 bucks, rather than the > e-bay price of 200. Hey, Fart-Boy. Just wander to Wal-Mart and pick one up for $40 with a two year agreement. >> I like to V3 that my girlfriend has, and would like to >> get the best buy price of 99 bucks, rather than the >> e-bay price of 200. > > Hey, Fart-Boy.

Thanks for the filter update reminder. > Can I renew my old plan to get a subsidized phone without moving to a > current plan? [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Bernard Bernard, You absolutely may upgrade your phone and keep your current rateplan. The only rateplans that you can not keep with an upgrade is the older TDMA rate plans. You said you have a v400 so you must have a GSM rate plan. So don't worry you can keep it. Now Cingular reps, like myself, work on commission so they may try and convince you to bump up your plan to make a few extra bucks. If they tell you that you have to change it I would not believe them. If they tell you that then just tell them you will do it somewhere else. They'll probably work with you then. :) Also, someone suggested going to Wal-Mart to get the RAZR for $40. That usually only works with new activations and not upgrades. Upgrades are usually more expensive at Wal-Mart and Best Buy. I hope this helps. E-mail me if you have further questions since I don't frequent these groups very much. |
