I want to place three phones that are out of contract into a family plan,
sign a two year contract, and get free phones for the the three lines.   At
the Cingular store, their computer prints out "offers" for each of the three
accounts that are based on a very bad assumption that each account is
renewing individually on a two year term.   The heavily used phone got an
offer for $49 for a Motorola RAZR, but the least used phones had to pay $79
for that model.   The sales person claimed that even though the phones were
going into a higher usage plan, they could only make offers based on the
previous usage.    Is this correct, and is there any way around that?

Is the $49 (after $50 rebate) offer for the RAZR a good offer?
