I want a new phone :/ - Off-topic

I really want an Incredible 2 but whatever sites offer it for free, only tell you later on that it's only free if you're getting a new line added.
Even Walmart did this to me, even when I said on the site that I was RENEWING my line.
So, is there any way I can get a free Incredible from one of these sites, even if I'm just renewing? Please help me out, guys. Thanks.

nope, unless you're up for a new 2 year contract...
even then, you're going to have to wait for a sale

Technically I am. I'm gonna use the eligibility for an upgrade on another line for my own (which I've done before). I really don't wanna pay anything if it's possible. But it looks like it isn't.

nope
get an unlocked phone if you dont want contract

get an unlocked phone if you dont want contract
thats a golden rolle

buy phones from private sellers. that's what i do. sometimes they're already unlocked, you can give them your offer and it's not a contract.

If you want to upgrade to a free phone, you should check all sites online...the carrier's sites plus amazon, wirefly, etc.

Best price I've found was on amazon, it was for $80, plus free shipping. I'd recommend not getting this phone thou. The breaking point for me was the camera, pictures output isn't good enough in comparison to HTC phones.

What's he saying is that he wants to get a good phone at new contract/2 year upgrade prices without having an upgrade eligible or having to buy it outright.
Not likely.

Theres always craigslist.
Buy the phone for cheap, then you can activate it as your new phone EVEN if your still on contract.

He wants to know if there are any deals for renewals/upgrades instead of new lines.

they only want new customers not current customers

The deals are the same for renewal, on Amazon wireless at least.

I'm not sure if you, check an iphone 5 that is coming out in August or so. You might want to check it out

How does getting on a phone on craigslist work? Like you buy it from someone selling it, isn't that kinda of sketchy?

Where can I buy a kaiser for cheap?

I've heard lots of people here talking about buying their kaisers for $200, EVEN $99!! Where on Earth do you find such a good deal? I have been in the market for weeks on Ebay and can only find ones for $500+. Does anyone have some advice for me on where I can pick one up for at most $400? Anyone selling or know of somebody selling theirs? I don't care if it isn't unlocked or still has the AT&T ROM... I can manage that. Anyways, I could really use some insight from you people. Any info would help. Thanks!

Actually I would be interested to know where you can get a Kaiser for such low prices. Preferably in Europe/UK though. Any suggestions??
well am selling mine for £200 (about $400) it has marks on it hence the low price. pm me if you want more info
I didn't know if there was already a thread for a topic like this. Looks like others are in the same boat as me.
i tried to put a tread on about selling my kaiser before but no one was interested then. so hopefuly i will sell it now

It's where i got mine from... £300 in november

Do you have ATT service in your area? if so, then you should be able to buy it too. I only said US only because I wasn't sure if the deal would apply to other countries as well. Since it does ask for a zip code to verify availablity I would assume it would work in canada as well. Try it, see if it accepts your zip.
send a PM to me too, i want where can i buy it to
Steal it at HTC manufacture !!! just kidding
AT&T is only for US residents
*sigh*
I guess I'll keep searching ebay.

Oh, well if you change your mind... I would get another phone
If i do get another phone it would be a g1 or touch pro 2 or something else better that cost the same
Try a phone that's not available here. Something European. If you go to www.Ebay.Co.Uk you can get some really good deals on UK phones. Even though the exchange rate isn't equal, they come out cheaper still. Try GSM hero, Hd Mini, tattoo, ect. Stuff along those lines are around your price range. If you want though, you can get a desire over their fot around $300-350. Much cheaper than in the US...
ha yeah thats true...how much is an hd2 over there
About the same as over here. It really only works with devices that weren't released over here. If your using Android, I would suggest a HD Mini. I really like the design of it and it's really cheap over there. But I would get a GSM Hero... Even though I like the Design of my nexus, I still prefer the Desire, Hero's, and Legends chins...
You could buy a phone, trade it in for an iPod, then trade that for a bike, then trade it for a laptop, then trade it for a car!

Forgot to mention one downside... Sometimes they won't ship the the US, but most of them do. You just need to ask otherwise you can't pay for the item. It wont let you go through with the checkout process.

You also need to make sure that you can activated where you are at as well.
I'm interested in the accesories and Rootzwiki.com is trying to buy a device to gain root with. How about I get all those accessories(ext batt, and both docks) for $50 and then you sell the D3 to rootzwiki for $325? I will pay the shipping to me so you can include shipping in the price for rootzwiki.

Well I would need to sell to Rootzwiki first as I do not want to sell everything separately. I would hate to sell you the accessories and then I cant sell the phone.
Without a doubt. I'm trying to get a response from them. I was thinking about selling mine and had a thread up over there. He asked yesterday if I still had it for sale...so just waiting to hear from him again.
Well I have about three people I am waiting a reply on that wanted to buy it today, so they need to act fast, because once someone makes up their mind its gone.

Which one to pick

So, i have been deciding if i should pre order from Best buy or ATT. The Media link is kinda cool and is worth more then the 50 best buy play store thing but what other advantages does best buy have over att? I was wondering which one are you going to do and why. Does best buy offer insurance on their phones? i always get insurance from att and its pretty decent i was wondering what best buy does and if anyone has had problems with them (i have had many problems with att insurance ) just trying to decide where to get it. i didnt see another thread that was like this its usually its own individual subject but i wanna hear why people would get it at best buy over att. thanks.
The pre-order link that I found on Best Buys website does not make any mention of that $50 gift card. Also Best Buy doesn't seem to be offering the 64GB model for pre-order yet.

What about Radio Shack with the $50 Playstore gift card? I know it was specified for Sprint, however, if this holds true for ATT it might be worth considering as well.

Good question, however, since you purchase the phone new you should be able to add insurance to the device within 30 days of purchase. Just as you would at a traditional ATT store.
If you're purchasing in the USA and care about LTE, the version you buy is important. There are several versions with different LTE band support.
I don't really know how it works out there, but you're pretty much tied to your carrier due to frequency support.

I think what OP was talking about was Best Buy's "phone freedom" offer of which registration ended about a month ago. Basically if you registered your number with BB.com, and got a new phone at best buy mobile in the calender year 2013, you got a free 50 dollar gift card.

you sir, have down syndrome. Regardless of what you say, i know you have an extra chromosome. I Was asking to see which one is the better deal, because i haven't bought a phone from Best Buy or Radio shack. I clearly ask for the benefits to purchase it at another store, you don't need troll for no reason.
I'd be interested to know if you can buy insurance from Best Buy for a phone you bought at AT&T. ATT's insurance deal sucks. It's $7mo with a $200 deductible.
Everybody should look into squaretrade for insurance. I've had in for the past 7 years on all my phones and it includes accidental damage.
If they can't replace or repair they send you a check for retail price of the phone.
I don't work for them or anything I just like their insurance plans

I gotta agree with this guy. I understand zero percent financing and all, but for someone to pay for the phone with PayPal credit is outrageous. Its like 27% interest.

BillMeLater turned into PayPal Credit. They still offer no interest for 6 month deals, but its not a blanket offer like BillMeLater was. There are inclusions, exclusions, and tons of fine print.
BTW, I overstated. The fine print for the APR reads:
"The Annual Percentage Rate is 19.99%"
(which is still outrageously high)

My last two phones I brought full price from T-Mobile. I brought a Samsung Note 3 and The phone I have now LG G3. I just didnt want to pay full price this time around.
I've ordered stuff on PayPal credit and I always get 6 months no interest no matter what. I pay it off way before that anyway so it's not a big deal.
So what if you finance it through Motorola if you are good with money you pay it off.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk
Just use T-Mobile and finance.
G3
You can't finance through PayPal unless the seller accepts PayPal. I could be wrong but I don't think the Play Store does. Verizon doesn't or any of the other carriers. Your only shot is Motorola if and when they decide to. Unless you can pick up a new one on EBay or Swappa for a reasonable price. You know how that goes guys say they are new but there not + no warranty unless you get a carrier to honor it.
I didn't mean to sound like a jerk when I posted that response last night. If you have 0% interest for 12 or 18 months and you pay it off without getting penalized for late payments or whatever, it's a good deal. On the other hand, if you are planning to pay off the phone with a credit card that charges a ridiculous interest like 10 - 30%, I would agree that it's not a wise choice. In the end, it's really none of my business to tell anyone how to purchase a phone. Sometimes, if you want the latest and greatest phone, you'll do just about anything to get it.
