ATt Tilt price with no contract

anybody know the price of a tilt with no contract?

599.99..........

then you have to add
tax + (unlocking fees)...
almost gets to $700

No commitment price is $549
I bought one from an AT&T corporate store last night.
GPS is completely unhindered and available via COM4. No hacks or Telenav activation or anything needed.

I just purchased it via AT&T Premier for $299.99, via upgrade device. Hopefully, I'll get my Tilt on Monday!!!!.

Did you have a qualifying plan or were you required to make a plan upgrade...i heard that in some cases, a plan upgrade is required..
thx - MN

Depends on if you have access to the Premiere store via your employer or not.
It's $399 from the Premiere store and does not cause a contract extension.
If you don't have access to Premiere, non-contract is more expensive. I don't know what that is because my zip code only shows the Tilt to Premiere customers.

Pls buy me one, too. I'll paypal you the cost plus S&H.
I have the access to Premiere but the price shows $399 with 2-yr contract extension AND upgrade eligible.

Got Mine
After years of trying to convince myself to get a phone like this I finally bit the bullit and got the Tilt last night. Got it at an ATT store. Had 3 in stock.
Playing with the phone trying to sync with Outlook Express. Says it can only sync with Microsoft Outlook. I moved everything to MS Outlook and sync ok but I hate MS Outook and prefer Express. Is there a work around to sync with Express.
Sorry if an easy question but totally new to this.
Thanks in advance

I just called the number listed on the Premier site, talked to a lady who tracked down the price, said it is $399, but that if you go to a Corporate Store locally it would be $299 with the PDA plan.

Hmm... before I learned the AT&T release was coming so soon, I bought one online and it will be roughly 800 after shipping. I was willing to stick with it for the reasons mentioned in the nice compare one of the memeber posted, being...
1. Includes front side camera
2. Included HTC Home Screen Add On
3. Doesn't have a bunch of AT&T branded stuff which I have yet to use on any PDA Phone I have purchased, and why waste the space.
4. Device would be unlocked from day 1, should I ever want to resell it.
So I'd be paying roughly 225.00 for these benefits.
On the downside... no AT&T Support, however, having tried to use their support, I have found they rarely know much of anything, do not offer insurance packages on their high end phones, and basically don't do much else beyond the 1 year manufacturer warrenty, and even then sometimes force you to take a refurb instead of a new replacment.
But I dropped into a store this AM anyway, just to see if I could get a preview and confirm non subsidized prices. Turns out they say I qualify for an upgrade and will be able to pick one up for 400 plus a 50 rebate. Problem is, I thought for sure I did not quliafy for a rebate, and I heard the subsidized price would be 299, not 349. Can anyone confirm? I don't want to send back the non AT&T phone until I confirm the pricing.

$299 is the price with the rebate and $40+ data plan discount, I believe. I haven't heard a lot about the retail end, but it is $299 on Premier with the data discount.

I'm fairly certain it will attract undue attention if I were to order multiple Tilts at the discount price.
Anyway, it will likely only be $150 more for non-Premier customers.

I actually took a look at the Premier site, and was able to sign up for it using my university email address. Nothing like getting 15% reduced monthly costs for doing nothing but confirming your account

damn. 8925 not showing up on premier for my zip yet. oh upstate ny...

With Extended Contract, the phone is 299.99. It's from www.america.htc.com with letstalk.com deal.

What AT&T data plan?

I'm a new AT&T subscriber. When I signed up, I accidentally signed up for the $39.99 Media Max Unlimited. I'm not sure why I signed up for it, maybe it was required? Well, after making a call yesterday, the CS rep put me on the $29.99 Blackberry Unlimited plan. I don't do any sort of text messaging...maybe 5 a month if that, thus the reason for the change. Is the Blackberry plan ok? Am I going to get hit with a bunch of data charges at the end of this month? Is there a better plan?
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm new to all these AT&T plans (ex-Sprint customer here).
Thanks!

If you have a PDA you are supposed to be on the PDA plan, $39.99. Now that doesn't mean that you will get caught being on the wrong plan, I am amazed that with the Tilt you were able to get the phone rep to lower your plan. Do you have a Tilt or the Kaiser?
I may be wrong but I remember reading some fine print on this:
Mail in rebates, $100, you will not get these anymore if you do not stay with the $39.99 or higher data plan
Discount of $150 instant will be reduced with out the correct data plan. It will show up on your next bill.
If you are trying to save some cash and cut corners(bascially not follow correct policy) and risk losing money stick with what you have. If you want to be correct you need to have the $39.99 plan.
This is what I read, please correct me if I am wrong so I can change my plan.

Hmm. Thanks for the clarification. I'll have to wait and see. I have the Tilt, and I have a business discount with them (I had no rebates - $200 Company Discount, and a $400 Web Discount). I went back through the purchase screens (as if I were a new customer buying through my corporate discount page), and neither the plan she switched me from nor the one she switched me to exist. What's weird is, I don't even see the MediaNet Unlimited plan that was on my phone. All that's listed are business data plans (with multiple options under each section not listed below) :
DataConnect Add-On
PDA Enterprise with Cellular Video Add-On
PDA Enterprise Tethering Add-On
PDA Enterprise for BlackBerry Connect Add On
I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens with my first bill.

if you have the $39.99 plan you qualify for the rebates even if you purchased your phone through the business section. So you can print them out and mail them in. There should be 2 $50 rebates.
I am not 100% on how the business plans work for you. I know for my I get a % off my bill but when they quote me rates they always use the full price and I don't see any discounts until I get my bill.

At $10 savings per month, I'll gamble and see if I can swing the 29.99 plan. An additional $100 off the price of the phone would sure be nice though!

i am sure you will be fine if you got them to switch it for you. Especially since you got the phone through business.
Just don't contact ATT for service or support, thats how mine got switched to the 40 dollar plan.

Actually it says:
"Requires activation on a PDA Personal Plan or a $39.99 or higher unlimited data rate plan plus an AT&T Voice Plan of $39.99 or higher"
So it can be a PDA Personal for $29.99 but it has a 20Mb per month limit.

look the easy fix is this...stay on the PDA connect plan until you get the notice from att that the rebate has been processed and is on its way back to you, then dump it. Problem solved

Hey Guys, what is the Big Deal, see at&t don't waste their time or money on tracking who is using what, at the time of rebate, I am not sure they even look it up in the computer, they will check what you sent them, the form etc and just quick look, upload it to their database and they will send you a check. as for Internet, don't even touch it, it is saving you 10 dollar a month, don't know if its any money, but if you are a finance person you would know its alot.

The rebate processing agencies and AT&T make money off people that don't qualify for the rebates. That's why they really do the due diligence on paperwork. I once had a rebate rejected because I switched plans, and the rebate was of course processed much later after I sent it in. Everyone should pay attention to the fine print when it comes to rebates.

I was scrounging by on the media net 5/mb w/ limited texting for 20/mo while using an Audiovox SMT5600. I upped to the $40/mo PDA plan the day before my Kaiser arrived. Sure, I'd like to pay less, but it is what it is and I want the service. I've got a laptop for tethering when needed too. I’m not locked in to my voice or data plan however and that's how I want to keep it.

Im still on media max`
Im still on my media max plan for 19.99 that I had with my last "smartphone" works just fine. have had that plan for about 2 months now. I also did not risk sending in for the rebates since that would cost me more in the future if i had to switch plans.

Buying a tilt from newegg?

Hey, i am planning on buying a tilt from newegg for 149.99 with 2 year activation. I am wondering if anyone here has done that yet, and if i need to make a whole new att account or if i can just add another 2 years to my old one that has already expired. Thanks much!

you need a whole new individual account with a new number.

This is not true, you do not need a whole new individual account or need to sign up with a new number. If your contract is expired (as mine was) you can purchase this as an upgrade. At the end of the purchase process there is a field for number portability. You leave the box for "carrier" default, put your current number in the "number portability field", and enter your account number with the word "upgrade" at the end. This information was told to me by newegg's AT&T rep. I just purchased my phone from newegg tonight and successfully upgraded my account to a new 2 year plan all while keeping my current number and getting the $150 price.

rate plans and options from newegg
i bought the 8525 about 6 months ago from them. under there deal for 6 months. my contract with them is about up and i was going to cancel cingular (i know about the fee) and put a new account to buy the new phone.
i was originally going to pay the full price at the att store until one of the people there told me they couldnt sell it to me unless i got a pda plan. (there loss)
now, are there any special requirements from buying from newegg? are they going to require me to buy this data plan as well? currently im on the media net plan, and thats because of the cheaper price, and the fact that i dont use that much internet. is new egg or att going to "force" me to get that pda plan? and as far as newegg goes, when i bought the 8525, i was able to get the cheapest rate plan, nation 450. will i still be able to do this when getting the tilt?

There are no "special" requirements for buying from newegg. The only requirements are that you sign up for a 2 year plan (either as a new customer or as an upgrade) and get any of the voice plans. All the voice plans that are available on AT&T's website are also available through newegg. They also have numerous additional data/text/media packages that slightly differ from what AT&T has on their website, but its generally the same. The only problem I had is that they do not have the Unlimited PDA data connect plan when signing up through newegg. I called AT&T and they said when I activate the phone I can upgrade my plan to the PDA connect without losing the newegg discount. (As part of the contract thru newegg, if you change any part of your plan, voice or add ons, to a lower cost plan within 181 days you lose the discount and have to pay back newegg $250. After 181 you are free to change your plan.)
Also, whoever at AT&T told you that you *must* get a data plan with the 8925 is full of sh*t. You are not required to buy a data plan with any phone besides the iphone. I would have asked to speak to their superior or called AT&T corporate on the spot to clarify.

You must have a plan when the rebate goes through. Dunno if ATT still has one but that was my experience buying it the Friday it came out.

That is a really good deal. Does anyone think AT&T would match that price if I go into the store? I guess if they cant I could always return it and go with New Egg.

Terms And Conditions
* If you purchase a new wireless communication service plan from AT&T (which is not a substitute for an existing service plan you have with AT&T) through Newegg.com, and purchase a new wireless communication device, such as a cell phone, from Newegg.com, as part of the same order, the price for the device will include a discount of $250.00 (the "Equipment Discount"). YOU MUST REIMBURSE NEWEGG.COM THE AMOUNT OF THE EQUIPMENT DISCOUNT, IF YOU DO NOT MAINTAIN THE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SERVICE PLAN PURCHASED AS PART OF THE ORDER IN GOOD STANDING FOR A MINIMUM OF 181 DAYS AFTER ACTIVATION. The wireless communication service plan will be considered "not to be in good standing" if:
You fail to pay the balance due by the payment due date in any month.
You cancel the service.
You change the service plan to a different service plan with a lower monthly service rate.
You transfer the equipment to another service plan.
You transfer any phone number associated with the service plan to another service plan.
You use the service plan purchased as part of the same order to replace an existing service plan you have with the same company.
You authorize Newegg.com to initiate a charge to the credit card or other payment method you used to purchase the Equipment in the amount of $250.00, the Equipment Discount, if it is due.

Do you mean just a voice plan? When I ordered mine on friday I do not think you were required to have a data plan added on, only a voice is required IIRC. I got a data plan anyways so it didn't make much of a difference to me.
I think the part that is screwing most people up in the terms that slcui56 posted is this part:
"* If you purchase a new wireless communication service plan from AT&T (which is not a substitute for an existing service plan you have with AT&T) through Newegg.com, and purchase a new wireless communication device, such as a cell phone, from Newegg.com, as part of the same order, the price for the device will include a discount of $250.00 (the "Equipment Discount")."
You can not substitute for an existing plan if you are still under contract. I had a plan with AT&T but my contract was up, so this replaced my existing plan. I think newegg/AT&T could have worded this better.

So if I'm interpreting this correctly it looks like this offer is not eligible for a upgrade and only for new customers.

Yes, I did read the whole thread and you dont need to be rude about it. I do realize that you spoke to their AT&T rep but it seems to contradict their own terms and conditions that you need to agree to when you purchase the phone on their website. To me it seems that they could potentially charge you $250 when you do it as an upgrade. Did you ask the rep about this when you spoke to them?

I notice one can select Media Max off the newegg deal, is Media Max ($19.99) enough for the Tilt? IOW, could I use the IE on the tilt with MediaMax or is MediaMax intended for WAP access.

At New york in Manhattan (Times square and 42nd Street)
they said it's required... I argued with the employee (after asking nicely.. then he replied being stupid...saying that the cellphone wouldnt work without the pda plan)
then I spoke to one of the superiors to be told the same.
I headed to best buy in 43rd street and 5th avenue, at the best buy mobile section they have it without requiring a pda plan or any internet plan at $250 cash/credit whatever
without ever sending rebates forms or anything like that.
I could have gotten through new egg or cheaper but i dont have the patience to wait for it to arrive.
I wanted it at that moment so thats why i got it at best buy mobile thing.

wut if i purchase a tilt off new egg with the 59.99 plan then i down the plan once i get the device... wouldi have to pay regular price cause i didnt stick wit the plan?

I originally ordered a Tilt from Wirefly on the 13th for $99.00 ($100.00 data plan rebate). Even though their website and sale staff said it was in stock up until Thursday, the phone is back ordered. Since none of the sales or support staff can tell me when or if they will be getting new Tilts, I canceled my purchase.
I spoke with Newegg this morning and was told they had 74 of the Tilts in stock (as of 7:15am PST). I promptly placed my order and was assured that one of the phones in stock will have my name on it!
I think $50.00 more is a bargain to no longer have to deal with Wirefly!
As for my terms, I am Verizon transfer. I was told (by Newegg) that all I had to do was sign up for a new service with a voice plan. There was no minimum voice plan purchase.
I did ask the Newegg rep about people who wanted to upgrade their account and their rebate requirements. I was told that if someone has a current contract (for example: 450 min) and wanted to "upgrade" to a higher rate (for example: 900 min) while they are still under contract, the rebate would not apply and their credit card would be charged $250.00 after the phone was activated. The rep told me that if someones contract ended and they were to "re-new" their contract than the rebate would be valid.
I think people here are getting the terms "new" and "upgrade" confused with each other.
Anyways, I am looking forward to receiving the phone!

The rep told me that if someones contract ended and they were to "re-new" their contract than the rebate would be valid.
I think people here are getting the terms "new" and "upgrade" confused with each other.
Anyways, I am looking forward to receiving the phone!

free tilt ideas or discount?

anyone kno how to trick att or have any ideas how to get a tilt for discount or even a free one? or anything in how to get around the system of att and get a new or discounted tilt?

i don't know about discount but when i bout my tilt at my locatle at&t store in the middle of November, i told them the price amazon had it for which was like 150 at the time and they matched it, it was an actual store by at&t not an authorize dealer or anything so you can try to get a price match and see if you get anywhere, not the catch is that you will have to sign up for a data plan etc. but unlike amazon which you cant change your plan for at least 6 months to get the discount, the at&t store doesn't have that clause, i guess because amazon is basically getting commissions form at&t

When I went into an at&t store about two weeks ago (privately owned) they would not match the price exactly. They justified this move with the difference in data plans (a phone with wifi and you want me to pay how much a month for data?). So because the service plan I chose didn't match up one for one to some e retailer's price I wasn't able to get their price. Moral of the story, you should ask nicely with a smile : ).

Newegg base has dropped their base price ($469.00 after rebate)
A Tilt with a 2-yr contract is down to around $125.00 (no data plan required).

Just ask if they can price match NewEgg. You're gonna need a new contract, though. For me, my phone at the time was off contract, so I could cancel it without any fee, so I just canceled it and got a new number and new contract for $200 - $50 MIR.

i heard like when u have ur tilt, u can call att and tell them that ur phone is giving u problems or wutever and try to get new ones, how much is the fee for a lost phone, (but not really) just try to get a new tilt?

Droid Bionic Corporate discount - like getting Bionic for $150.00

I got my Bionic for $250.00 and we have a nationwide corporate pool that includes....wait for it...unlimited data. They are also running a promo for new customers where you can send in your old pos phone and get at least a $100.00 Verizon gift card. Accessories here I come.
The main point is if you have a decent corporate discount, you can get it for $250.00 then send in an old phone and get $100.00 gift card which you can use to pay your bill. It is like getting it for $150.00

I was told that you're only eligible for the gift card if you are coming from a device without a data plan...

Are you sure about the unlimited data? I thought unlimited data was gone even for corporate users? Unless you particular company has a separate secret deal with VZ....

Yup, we have a super secret deal I guess. We have 117,000 employees.

It says for new customers. The way I read it, I should be able to send in whatever old phone I have and I will get at least 100.00. It doesn't have to be a Verizon phone.

I got my phone this AM for 149+ tax. It was 249 the a additional 100 off for going from a 3G to 4g smartphone.

The $100 special offer is for going from a feature phone to a 4G phone, and for that you have to mail in the feature phone and jump through some more hoops, not an instant discount. So power to you brother, but whatever you got wasn't the "Get Paid to Trade" deal.
