Hurry Hurry! HTC Tilt2 for USD$200.00. (Revised)

I have a FAN and I just ordered a Tilt2 for $250 with $50 rebate.
Normally FAN phone offers are not as good as the ones offer to the public as the FAN folks gets a discount on their monthly service.
I was trying to make up my mind on a LG Expo or a HTC Tilt2. Both cost me $300. The offer of $100 rebate to Public on LG Expo is not available to FAN folks. The HTC Tilt2 was $350 but with a $50 rebate. That was yesterday! I have been checking both of these phones ever since the LG came out. As yesterday was last day of work, and the offer for rebate is before Christmas. I thought may be I’ll wait a little longer and see if the LG Expo would offer a 100 rebate to FAN customers.
This morning, I locked on to work at home. I just want to check if I could access the ATT Primer Web and saw the Tilt2 went down by $100. Needless to say, I ordered one!
Time is ticking and if folks here have a FAN, this is the window to get the Tilt2. Thought this is such a good deal too good to pass.
(Update)The price drop is good for regular customers and FAN customers.

i got mine about a week ago from letstalk.com and i made 2 cents
It was $198 with a $100 MIR and then sending in my old HTC wizard to HTC for another $100 (you may qualify for this too, head over to http://www.htctradein.com/att/ )

Thank You! I just gave my Dopod C730 to my son and I am using my back up Treo 650. I was using that to play games. It was in good working condition. I checked that link you provided and I can get a $100. What a deal!
Thank You again!
BTW, I just checked my order and it was shipped from Texas via Fedex. I'll get it by 29th.
Woooo Hooooo!

I just checked ATT Wireless. The discount is also for regular customers not just for FAN customers.

Usually online deals aren't available in stores and when you talk to someone in the store they'll tell you the same thing.
I've read some posts about people talking to the manager in getting them to match and sometimes beat the online price but i've had no luck in doing this with the Tilt 2 and previous devices.
Plus i live in Texas and it didn't take 2days to get to me without paying extra for shipping

I've never had a problem gettting prices matches with online prices with ATT going today called and they said the would give it to me for that price actually. Maybe theyre more willing to match in la.

I did a phone upgrade from Fuze to Tilt 2 on December 1st. Price was $349 minus $50 in the rebate card so $299. Just called and complained after seeing the price cut and being (barely) within my 30-day return window and they gave me a $100 credit to my account, dropping my Tilt 2 cost to $199. Now I need to check into the HTC recycle deal and see if I can get $100 for my oldest HTC (an 8125) which would take me to $99 for my Tilt 2. And I'll still have my original Tilt and Fuze as backup phones, and maybe sell my 8525 on ebay.

Amazon have the phone for $99 with free line activation and a $50 gift card plus you can then do the HTC trade in for $100.

i work for an AT&T store and the $199.99 price is across the board for anyone

I got mine from let's talk on black friday weekend for free. without mail in rebate.

Can't you just add a line and get the phone for free, than just terminate the line for $40.00?

Walked into AT&T store here in SoCal on the day after Christmas, and got the Tilt2 for $150 with a $50 rebate ($100 net cost). Have been customer for years, so they gave me some sort of "Premier" discount. Don't know what exactly that is, but I'll take it!

I've been with AT&T a long time and still have the Cingular 8125 which I plan on trading in.
I want to upgrade to the Tilt 2 but will AT&T force me to get a smartphone data plan?
Is there a way to upgrade to a new phone with them touching your existing phone/data plan?

Best price for a ET4G on Sprint upgrade? Anything lower than $150?

Best price for a ET4G on Sprint upgrade? Anything lower than $150?
My sister is eligible for an upgrade, she loves my ET4G so I was looking to get her one. Wirefly/Amazon both show $79 for new contract or $150 for upgrades. Anyone know anything better than $150? Damn I paid $100 when it first came out! Thanks.
Sorry for double post, I got to buy her the phone in less than 48 hours! Thanks!

Amazon Wireless has it for 79.99, I tried to post the link but I'm too much of a noob to be allowed yet.

Go to target.com and find it on there website. Its 99 bucks go to best buy they are price matching till January 20 th. Boom epic 4g for 99. Its 79 on amazon but you have to wait bestbuy you get it that day. I got two epic last week from best buy for 99 each

Here is the link you couldnt post. Ill be taking this deal to get my mom this phone

You guys know that at target its $99.99 with new line but $150 with an upgrade right? And amazon is $79.99 with a new line, but $150 with an upgrade. Its pretty much $150 everywhere for upgrades.

Look for Wirefly 10% online coupon code just used it 5 days ago.

If you trade in ANY working phone (not just smart phones) to radio shack you can get it for 100 bucks.

WAAAH! How long have these prices been going on for? I paid $199.99 about a month or so ago for an upgrade

Thanks for all the replies, but I already know abt the $79 amazon deal. I need to UPGRADE an existing sprint line that is eligible for discounted upgrade - i dont need to sign up a new phone number or line. So the amazon price/wirefly price is $150 for upgrades. Regarding radio shack, do you know if that $100 price is for upgrades as well?

I believe the $79.99 deal at Amazon is only for new customers, not upgrading. If you are upgrading then it is $149.99
Ill be getting it for $79.99 next week

I got mine on the 26th from Sprint.
They were having a deal (25th-31st) if your upgrade was near that they would upgrade you sooner and I got my et4g for $126.00 with the trade in of my evo.
By far this phone is immaculate but I think I just got my first problem with it.
The vibrate is making a super weird noise that it really shouldn't be making.
Hope you find a good deal for it!

Sprint will give you $90 (as a credit to your bill) for your old HTC EVO, even if you don;t buy a phone through them.

You'd do better to sell it on fleabay.
I sold mine for $200.

Unfortunately I already traded it in and got my ET4G. :/

My Target has the upgrade for $99 as well (I'm near Seattle). Don't know if it's like that everywhere, but it is here. They've also been out of stock since Christmas so I went to Best Buy and although they're supposed to call and verify availability, they didn't! Also, Best Buy has better insurance than Sprint, 10 bucks a month and no deductible! Also, if you can get it at Target, they have a better trade in program. Best Buy was only going to give me $30 for a brand new Vibrant, Radio Shack was $65, but Target was $90! Still going to sell it elsewhere, but it's good info to have!

Nokia Lumia 900 at Costco

Just talked to a Costco representative who said that the Nokia Lumia 900 is likely to be there on launch day but if not, it'll be there in the first week. Price is going to be $99.99.
Why buy at Costco?
You only pay tax on the sales price (instead of paying tax on the retail value) and Costco also give you a free car charger, case and screen protector. You also get 30 days to return the phone if you don't like it for a full refund.
Not too bad to wait an extra few days if it's not available on launch day.

But AT&T will be free and Amazon for one cent. Plus I heard (see posts in the same forum) that there will be special promo in AT&T stores.
Not so sure if Costco is the best deal. Plus you have to pay for a Costco Membership.

Keep in mind that the free and one cent promos are for brand new customers. It's a great deal if any one decides to switch carriers.

Costco is selling to anyone regardless of status (new or existing customer) for $99 ?

I tried to get 710 for my wife off contract from Costco and the wouldn't even sell it to me. I doubt they would offer it for 99$ unless you are new.

That's what I thought... so if you are new subscriber AT&T and Amazon is better deal. Not that I can buy from them, but I do live close enough to the border and if there a better deal to be had, I would want to see the details. I know off contract is going to be about $450. But if Costco is selling for $99 then I would be interested. Seems to me that AT&T and Amazon are the place to buy for new subscribers.

Yeah I think they are not entirely sure until it's in store which hopefully is on April 9th.

You do need to be a Costco member to take advantage of it but if you already have it, it's pretty good.

Does Amazon still have it for 1 cent and AT&T still free for new subscribers? I tried it a few days ago and those deals didn't seem to be available. I would go that route too but I'm adding a new line to an existing AT&T family plan so I don't think those would work for me.

Apparently it's a discount applied at final checkout so the phone is free or one cent. Obviously I cannot try it because I'm not in the USA.
Best to call up AT&T or go to the store. Apparently there is also some other free stuff they are kicking in but that's not confirmed.

Just found out that Sam's Club is doing a similar deal to Costco where they only charge tax on the sales price of the phone. They don't include all the accessories that Costco does but another option if you have a membership to Sam's Club already.

T-Mobile price drop to $199 at Costco...

I was in Costco today and noticed that the T-Mobile GS3 has dropped to $199 no mail in needed. I bought two of them when it released last month. Since I was still within 30 days I was able to get it adjusted. Nice to walk out of Costco with an extra $100. Anybody else that bought from Costco should be able to do the same. Enjoy the extra cash!

Wow this is ridiculous.
Super pissed that I got it from a T-Mo retailer now...anyone know of anyways we can get adjusted?

Yeah... the costco deal finally pushed me to trash my 2-year old vibrant and upgrade.
I still can't get used to how massive the SGS3 is.

I yelled at retention for a few days, eventually they gave me a credit. First they said I could return, pay the $50 and buy it from Wal-Mart, then that didn't work so they gave me a $50 credit. Then they said I could do it in a few days "when the system reset" showing me eligible for an upgrade. That didn't happen either. Then they said they would sell it to me from customer service for 199 or I could buy it from a retail store and they would credit my account. Worked out, just had to pay a bit more up front.

Yea, this is how i got my phone about 2 weeks ago. They even had a deal where you could get a GS2 for free on another line. It should be the same at every Costco. So i payed 199 for the GS3 and my dad got the GS2 for free. So worth it. Big upgrade from my Mytouch 4G

I order one from target at 199
Sent from my Garminfone using xda premium

i just ordered one as well from loyalty dept...i was able to talk the rep down to 189 as well. plus tax...he charged me full 279 but gave me a 90 dollar credit on my account with no upgrade fee and i will pay it till my next bill so i have a couple weeks till its due. glad i waited till now to buy it. Now i just gotta wait for ups

Keep in mind that at Costco, they charge you tax on the pre-coupon price, so here in WA, where tax is 9.5% it kinda sucks. But they do have great customer service and free accessories.

This is true, but it's not being calculated from the MSRP either, it's calculated off their reduced wholesale price, which for me in CA, for 16GB SGS3 was $389.99, and that came out to $34 in tax (8.75% tax where I live.) Compare this to T-mobile who wanted to charge me tax off the full $629.99 MSRP, which would have been $55 in tax, and it's still $21 cheaper, even if you can talk t-mobile down to the $199 price.
Cheers

GS3 price going down anytime soon?

Wondering if I should upgrade, for now walmart is the cheapest @$148 , but I want to get it at less than $100 for upgrade, per phone.
Does any of you know if the price is going down? I'm just wondering with GS4 possible in February 2013, they might want to pull an iphone, and keep the price at this level until they release a new phone. Then drop $100 to $99 on contract for GS3. And give the GS 2 for a buck.
So if this is the plan, I'm willing to buy now for $150, but if they gonna drop it to $1 in couple of months, I wouldn't buy it.
EDIT: this is for at&t.

Well with the announcement of the GS4
I'm curious to see if the unlocked price of the GS3 is going to go down. Right now its about 540-550 unlocked.
