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?

[Q]best place to buy sgs2?

I'm looking to buy a sgs2 and I just wanted to see if there was any specifically good place where everyone buys them for cheap.
all I know is T-Mobile stores or calling customer service
thanks in advance

You can try Walmart stores. They will definitely be less than TMobile if they have them available. They don't have a restocking fee and have a 14 day return period. Also, Amazon is a good choice as well and will typically be less expensive if they have it in stock - http://wireless.amazon.com
Hope this helps.

Wireless Advocates inside Staples or Costco will have them on sale tomorrow and friday for only $179.99 +tax. So around $195 out the door!

Are those upgrade or new line prices?
I just checked Wal-Mart.com and they had it for 149.99 but it was for new T-Mobile customers. Upgrade was 199.99

I got mine from T-mo customer care.
Here is my price for upgrade.
Retail price $350.27 including sales tax, shipping, upgrade fee
minus 250.00 phone credit
Up front cost 100.27
minus 50.00 mail-in rebate (I'm not sure whether I will get it eventually or not)
Total cost $ 50.27
Besides, I got android preferred unlimited web for $20 monthly.
They charged me for UPS ground shipping, but actually they shipped it with UPS 3-day select. That was cool too!!
I think customer care is the best place if you are a long-time customer for them.
I've been with them for 6+ years.

No. Upfront is $529 - $250 makes it $279 - 50mir. Makes the phone $229.
Side note: Wal-Mart in the midwest still doesn't have them in stock.

I was wondering the same thing. I was checking out Amazon, but it's asking me what kind of data do I want, I already have it and it's cheaper so how would I go about overwriting that.
Can I just buy the phone w/o selecting what data I want?

Also check Wirefly if you are in CA. They do not charge sales tax (note it is based on the full price of the phone so around $50). They had a free activation last week but that is over now. If you have a BOA debit/credit card you can look for the additup.bankofamerica.com promo with Wirefly for an extra $50. Last I checked WF was selling new phones for $179 and upgrades for $199. Upgrades are hassle free on their website and allows you to keep grandfathered plans w/o calling a rep. Also can do single lines of a family plan.

If u have a fry's electronics around go there. They also price match. They were advertising for $250 but when the rep checked my total with the $18 upgrade fee was $158!!

I would always go with TMO stores. They seem to be the easiest to deal with if there any problems with the phone. Nothing better than being able to walk into a store and get an exchange on the spot.

It really all depends on how much you want to save versus convenience. For me, I'd rather save the extra $$$ and deal with return delays/wait if need be. I've ordered my last 2 phones through Amazon and never had any problems. Shipping was quick and free and the second phone needed an RMA which was all done free. Only hassle was being without a phone for a few days, but that's what backups are for and one of the reasons I am with T-Mo so I can just swap a sim card into another phone.
On the whole I'd prefer the T-Mo store too because they will give best service and of course if you need to return it's the least hassle and delay, but I don't want to pay $279 + tax and have to deal with a mail-in rebate when I can just order it online for $199 w/no tax and free shipping and no rebates to deal with.

So you bought the phone off contract for $189?

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

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

Sam's Club will have it next Friday for 96 cents with 2 year contract. There is a thread about the Sam's club black friday.
You can always sign up for Sam's Club and cancel their membership anytime and they will refund you the membership money no questions asked.
Sam's club also does not have a double ETF like Amazon/Wirefly etc.

Agreed, not a good deal. They were on sale for $174 for a month on Amazon

I find it funny that people still pay full 2 year contract pricing.
Only 2 phones I could not find at least 50% off asking price is iphones (new iterations) and latest blackberry bold (do not know why this still cost)
All in all welcome.

$299 is what most carriers are selling it for, especially on contract upgrade/extension. You sometimes get a better deal on a new contract (i.e., you aren't a current customer.)
Amazon had them for about $175 for a little bit but not on a contract upgrade. Then they went to $249, then $289. They seem to be back to $249 now on most carriers.
Usually the cheapest place is cartoys.com based in Seattle. Among other things, you get free shipping and no tax unless you live in Washington or a couple other states. AT&T (and I assume the other carriers) charge tax on the $699 list price. So here in California, the tax is about $60.
Cartoys finally has them available at $249. I did manage to get the only two they had a couple weeks ago at $149 each! I had been following their web site and they accidentally had posted them on the website at that price. I called and they discovered they shouldn't have posted them on the site because they didn't have any stock. So they took them down from the web site. I called a few days later and they had two phones in stock. With some taking, I was able to talk them in to selling them to me. But I wouldn't expect to see them at that price again for a bit.
