NOTE:
Information in this threat may no longer be as crucial as it was back in Oct 8, when phone was still unavailable for non-business customers. Since Tilt2 was released today, Oct 18, officially, make sure you explore all your options.
Price (WITH A NEW 2 year contract): $299 (NO REBATES), FREE NEXT DAY shipping with FedEx. NO CHANGES TO THE PLAN. AT all. Whatever plan u got - they don't touch it. (I get to keep my $19/mo unlimited data)
So, call this number: 866 499 8008 (corporate)
Tell them that you're not a business customer, but you _SHOULD_ be eligible for the Tilt 2.
They will ask for your number, SSN, etc, and will tell you that you're eligible and they have the phone (if it's not out of stock by that time... mine wasn't).
Say "YA BABY WOOO", then tell them that your wife/friend/cat got this phone thru this line for $299 shipped, NOT the $389 they may offer you. 5-10 minutes of persuasion and you'll get it. NO REBATES by the way.
Give em ur address, card number, boom - get ur phone next day.
Have fun. I'm getting mine saturday morning.
:dancing banana:
P.S: YES i know I posted this deep in another thread as well, but it will be buried in 10-15 minutes.. so to help people out (like me), here it is.
REBATE FORM (thanks to gmischenko): In addition, it seems you can get a $50 Mail-in-Rebate with Tilt2. You may not be eligible, but you should definitely try and send the form in.
Here is the Rebate Form
Oct 18 UPDATE: $199 Tilt2?
JML5150 is reporting that you can get a Tilt 2 for $199 with a new service plan HERE.
HTC Tilt 2 for $279
I was able to get offered the phone for $279 with shipping AND a one-time service credit of $30 or 3 months of a $15 service credit. The $50 mail-in rebate would still be available as well, bringing the total price down to as low as $184 ($279 - $45 - $50). This was calling 866-499-8008 and asking to speak with someone in Customer Retention.
To get this price, I was transferred to Customer Retention (or whatever it is AT&T calls it these days) and explained my situation. I explained that if AT&T could not offer a more competitive price/contract that I would cancel my service as soon as my contract is up (I am a current Premier customer, eligible for upgrade 10/15/2009 and contract ending 12/1/2009).
I declined. The reason: this still required a 2-year contract. Verizon is offering the same phone on a 2-year contract for $149.99 and on a 1-year contract for $179.99. Where I live, the Verizon & AT&T coverage is pretty much the same, as are the service plans/prices and my corporate discount. Therefore, the only distinguishing things are the length of contract and up-front cost for the phone, given the contract length. Verizon wins in both of these categories (not to mention the all black Verizon TP2 looking nicer IMO).
I switched from Verizon to AT&T last year when I got the HTC Fuze for free on a 1-year contract (this was the Black Monday sale on the Premier site the Monday after Thanksgiving). Long story short: I saw this sale about 5 days after I purchased my Fuze at 2-year contract price (1-year commitment because of my Premier discount) and it was a big hassle, but I finally got the first phone returned and my contract changed to 1-year (as was offered on the Premier site). I was excited to switch to AT&T because of the 1-year commitment with 2-year contract pricing, as well as the competitive pricing of AT&T phones vs. the other carriers.
Now I'm up for renewal and this is no longer the case. Everyone I spoke to at AT&T said that 1-year contracts are no longer offered by AT&T direct. AT&T National Business Orders (800-331-0500), AT&T stores, and independent sellers may offer 1-year contracts, but AT&T direct does not. Also, the AT&T price for the phone is more than twice the price that Verizon charges and AT&T can't even compete with Verizon's 1-year contract pricing. After explaining all this to the retention rep she offered me the phone at $279 with 2-year contract and 3 months of $15 service credit).
FYI: Speaking with Paul over at National Business Orders (800-331-0500) he gave me the following prices:
2-year contract: $349.99
1-year contract: $424.99
No contract: $499.99
SO, my plan is to wait a little bit. If the phone price drops to between $150 and $200 soon (or to $0 the Monday after Thanksgiving ) I will consider re-upping with AT&T (after speaking with Customer Retention again). I just can't justify spending AT&T's asking price right now, given that it is so much higher than their competitors and they do not want to offer a more reasonable 1-year contract price.
Excellent advice, gmischenko, once again proves that prices these days are something you wanna fight/threaten/yell about...
Good deal you got there, and definitely everyone should try that Pure/Tilt 2 rebate form to see if you can get $50 MIR.
Got mine ordered. I had to call the business number. She confided that people would call in and then the device would appear on the website for sale. She checked the website for me and the tilt 2 came up. When i looked again it was there for $349. Cant wait. Thanx for the tips. Where can I find the rebate form?

Someone with a Pure gotta put one up here for Tilts..
FYI guys, there is at least one person confirming that his data plan was automatically upgraded when he put his SIM into a Pure:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=13090202#post13090202
Says it took about 48 hours to register his phone in the system after he put his SIM in and then he got a text saying his plan had been upgraded.
i'm trying to get that deal gmischenko got or that get it for $199 where one member here said they got it for because he mentioned that Verizon were selling it for that price. tried at least 10 reps and the lowest i've gotten was 388. now they are closed so i guess i gotta wait until tomorrow mourning.

commas are your friend =)
If you're getting $388 without contract, that's pretty good imo.
If you're getting $388 with 2 yr contract, that's way too high.
Mention verizon deals, ask to speak with supervisor.. be polite.. i dunno =)

Yep, I'm sure u can get it tomorrow.. although u'll probably only get it on Monday.. Well, beats waiting for stores (14-16th) and probably their pricing too.
or call sprint and get for 199. .or go to wmdeals.com 49 bucks
but nice find..
there's a post in the Cdma section titled 199 tomorrow..

Not all of us hate AT&T and want to switch from it.. I found a great option of getting it at a relatively low price, and I posted it for people who can use this.

Does this link work for you?
I just ordered on the premier line number (called it in)
$349.00 is what I was given for pricing on the phone. She didn't know if I'd get another $50.00 rebate on that or not .. I decided I didn't care.
She did NOT ask anything about my data plan, or adding data to my plan. I ordered on my wife's number that does not have data on it.
Next day shipping was $14.00, but I'm expecting it next day anyway since I'm one day shipping from Memphis. I didn't want to chance it, and I figure next day delivery is more likely to deliver on a Saturday.
Yeah guys, I think the reason they are not asking anybody about their data plan is because the system is changing it automatically after it detects your IMEI.
Post back after you get your phones and let us know if your data plan changed (after the Online Account Manager detects your new phone).
In that other threaqd, the guy said it took about 48 hours of his SIM being in the new phne for the system to detect his Pure. he then received a text message saying his data plan had been upgraded.
He was not under contract, and bought the Pure at the no commit price (full retail).
Called the Premier number twice again. I had called yesterday and said what OP did, and was told they were backordered.
The first time, I was told I couldn't order it on the phone due to pricing inconsistencies. The second time, I was told it wasn't available until the 18th.
I suppose I'll just wait for the consumer launch?

same here, ordered late yesterday afternoon through premier. $349 + $14 for next day.
finally
just called again and was told that they are not allowed to sell it until the 18th because of the price inconsistency. she said that on the 18th, everyone body will be able to get the phone for the price that premier customers are getting it for. i'll try again in a few minutes.
UPDATE: so after calling a hundred times, i got tired of getting the 388 price and all that crap. so i said ''F it'' and called retention and told them i wanted to cancel all 5 of my lines because they are selling it for almost double the price of verizon. the guy went to go check something and came back and said that he could do it for 259.00 with the upgrade fee waived, free overnight shipping(i tried to use a rebate card i got from att but he said that it all has to be on ONE card, so he waived the 15.00 overnight shipping) also got a early upgrade so i just used it on a line that wasn't due for an upgrade until 2010.
Also, i asked for a tracking number but he said that the system wasn't showing a tracking number, but he gave me a conformation number and told me to call one of the ATT lines or something along those lines and give this to them and they should be able to tell me where my package is and so forth. my question is does anyone know how this work? which ATT line do i call? preimer or business? thanks

My rep specifically said that they will NOT change the plan, as this is an "Equipment Upgrade Only".
Besides, I will try to use my old Simcard, as I always do at an upgade..
I'll post with results once I get it (it's out for delivery, will have in withing a couple of hours).

I'd keep calling, for some reason this phone's launch for AT&T is a total mess, every rep has different information.. Keep calling, talk to their supervisor, put up an order to ship once available.. Maybe it will help.
Hi guys,
I've received a bill of 600 euro's... The reason they say is that I've choosen to use my old number of another subscription at Vodafone. In the mean while till my number is changed they gave me a 0 euro subscription that means u got nothing but a phone number to be called at what they didnt tell me... and it wasnt added to the contract either.
The helpdesk told me I could find this at the website so I looked it up and indeed i had a 0 euro subscription which means im stuck with a huge bill...
Because i had 500mb datausagate outside of bundles/blox and same for texts and call minutes.
Any Idea's? I've send a mail with an explanation. I will summeraise it. The email is saying that I was especting the normal subscription straight away and paying dubbel for 1 or 2 months. And that a good compagny would add those important lines like a 0 euro subscription to their contract.
Does anyone have another idea please share it
From my experience, your best bet is to bend over and try to enjoy it. Sorry.
But seriously, fight it. Get some advice and write a letter, sending it recorded delivery.
Hello all,
Wondering if anyone has received the Note 4 rebate or better yet, when should we start seeing them on our mailboxes.

I just got the same email... Here's what crazy. I really didnt need to send in my old Droid RAZR M apparently.
I pre-ordered online and submitted for a trade in online using verizon's system. Since Verizon was taking forever to send me something saying, "We got your phone, Here's you $15 trade in", I sent in my Samsung rebate using the print out from the Verizon Trade in site saying my trade in amount would be $15. Of course, that's just a page that verifies that you created a trade in request. It doesnt mean you actually sent the phone in.
Oh well, just glad they approved the Samsung rebate. Im guessing they got so many of these and there was no real standard format, so they didnt have time to do normal rebate shennanigans and deny people for random reasons.

Hahahaha, no surprise. These prizelogic people are idiots. I honestly can't believe Samsung is still partnering with them. Let me explain.
They had a promotion for the Note 3. Register your device and get a free $50 Google Play credit. This was suppose to be a 3 month promotion. The online form was name, email, phone number, maybe address, and IMEI. They didn't text you a verification code. If was as simple as if you entered in a valid IMEI, they emailed you a $50 code. So take your IMEI and changing one number could net you another $50 if you have a second email address. Or you could jump on email, search Note 3, and find someone with a picture of their IMEI. You see where this is going. I think they had 30,000 codes, and ALL were gone within 36 hours. Ebay was flooded with people selling them at $30-40 a pop. I think someone found one ebay account where the guy had sold over a hundred. Anyway, so yeah, these same people who horribly ruined that entire promotion are the ones running this one.
I too got the email saying I was approved. I bought a brand new POS phone at Best Buy for $30, got $10 for a trade in value, and that will net me a $190 check. So basically $180 off a new phone. Nice!
I used an old BB Bold or Torch, got 12 bucks for it, so expecting 188 back.
Got my confirmation email 2 days ago. Yay
Trade in $20
Rebate check $180
Note 4 purchase price $299.99
299.99 - 200 = 199.99 Note 4 final purchase price

I got the same conditional "rebate is approved... but subject to verification" email on November 11th.
I got $65 already for an old ATT iphone 4 I had lying in the bottom of a drawer, that plus the $135 from Sammy and the $100 bill credit I got means that they are paying me one cent for the phone!
