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.

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!

Cheapest UPGRADE price

I'm looking to get best buy to match the cheapest UPGRADE price I can found. Anyone found anything cheaper than $199.99?

just take your phone in with the newline price already loaded on the page. i doubt they will check in to it too much.
they pricematched me for 149 on an upgrade that clearly said new line on the ad. the guy didnt care. i went back in two weeks later with a new print out showing 99 bucks and they refunded 50 dollars to my credit card.

Austin got lucky. I just left BB about an hour ago activating 2 new Note 2's and they price matched Amazon at the $199.99 but they pulled it up on their own computers. I tried to show them my phone but said they had it. Plus they informed me that this is the last month that they will be price matching cellphones. Don't know how true, but both the girls at the station made sure they let me know.

Re: [Q] Cheapest UPGRADE price
I brought in a print out of the web page with a time stamp on the bottom. They were able to price match my phone. This is a hit or miss thing tho. I knew the supervisor of the mobile department and he explained to me that its at the discretion of the supervisor. He also said the reason why some bestbuys would not price match was because of the extra cancelation fees some sites have. Not sure why it would make a difference but thats what he told me.
Edit: got it for $169

I heard the same thing, but it is actually the 30-day price guarantee that they are doing away with. I paid $199 for mine. Radio shack has the best price for new, $169.00.

Yeah that would have been great if she went by that price.

Re: [Q] Cheapest UPGRADE price
Best buy by my house is full of **** went in there with the printed ad and they said they couldn't pricematch it cuz amazons price had expired in Nov of 2012 and he showed me on the screen at Nov 2012 date but that was the day the phone came out!! I didn't complain though cuz I was trying to trick them into giving it to me for the new line price on a upgrade lol but you gotta be stern with them cuz they will try to get out of it

Best Buy and Amazon Optimus G $49.99 on Contract

Hey All!
I just checked today and I see that Amazon and Best Buy are both selling the Optimus G for $49.99 on new contracts AND ON UPGRADES!
I have been waiting for this price on upgrades for awhile now... just wish I could get free activation too!

I need a phone so bad and I keep holding out for the HTC One but I may pull the trigger on this deal because I'm desperate and hate the phone I'm using now.
That HTC delay is killing me.

Got mine yesterday. 49.99 plus I signed up for the $50 gift card for a 2 year contract extension that they said they give to anyone that mentions it. They didn't even check or look it up, just had to mention it. I was holding out for the Note2 to come down in price but after some research on the LG I went for it. So far it is an awesome phone and for a total of $3.84 in taxes and sprints $35 activation I think it was a good deal. Anyone want a rooted Evo 3d with Android 4.2.2 pacman rom? :laugh:

Did you go through best buy then? Darn! I didn't know they were still doing a $50 gift card! I didn't see that on their site anywhere... I purchased through Amazon...
I wonder if there is anyway to get them to match it....

It was Best Buy. Apparently all you'd have to do is mention the $50 and they scan a gift card from behind the register. I asked if he needed to see anything or look up my email and he said no. When I signed up it said in the ad that the coupon lasted all year.

When I got mine it was on sale for 99.00 they gave me a50 gift card and I got the free LG Bluetooth headset, value of 70$. :screwy:

It sucks because I tried to get my upgrade today, a week early, just to get this phone from Best Buy. Tomorrow it goes off sale at Best Buy, and I'm not sure how long it will be $50 on Amazon. If anyone has ordered a phone from Amazon, how is there warranty/protection service with phones. Only reason why I want to get this phone from Best Buy is due to the protection plan.

Best Buy will price match, so if it is still on sale with Amazon when your upgrade is up then just show them Amazon and they will price match.

Cheapest place to buy a GNOTE2

What is the cheapest anyone has gotten the Note2 for and , where could i find it for the cheapest price?
mods* if this doesnt belong here please just move it, or if its already been asked please link me to that thread

For me, Craigslist or Ebay.. But Craigslist is really really.. It's 50/50. I would rather pay more and just buy at a retail store or someyhing. So many people getting their phone's IMEI blocked after buying from CL and stuff. Try Swappa

+1 for swappa. I bought a TMobile 7.0+ and an i717 off there with no issues. I'm looking for a white collar collar job this fall when I finish working beach volleyball and I'll probably be buying a Note 2 off there.

I've bought a couple on local craigslist for $400 in like new condition. They do pop up from time to time. It seems the going rate in the Ventura area is $475. I stumbled across a Verizon one for $350. It had chewed up chrome bezel and battery door. I spent $25 on replacing them and got $500 for it. So don't be afraid of body damage as long as the glass is in good shape.

been looking and have found some a lil bit lower.. im actually looking at two right now
1st) is a Sprint Gnote2 already flashed to pageplus ( which is what i would do with it if i get it anyways) for $220
2nd) is Tmobile Gnote 2 clean imei for $300
cant decide
one hand one is cheaper and pageplus works off verizon towers which would give me good reception wherever i am but fastest data speed is 2mb down .. pageplus plan for $70 with 5gb data is the plan i would get on this...
the tmobile is more expensive , i would get the $70 plan have unlimited data but some complain about call quality and coverage and i use phone for work so not sure... tmobile data would obviously be alot faster and you could talk and surf and the same time which is not a requirement but a plus..
still trying to decide ...aaarrggghhh

Check Amazon every once in a while for deals through personal sellers. For ex. I got a brand new unopened and unlocked iPhone 5 for $480 shipped about 3 months after release just because of how cheap it was.. Used it for 3weeks or so and turned around and still sold it for 788 on ebay

I do agree that some people do crazy things on ebay especially.
I have seen crazy seller too. As in listing for used s3 starting at
899.00
But to each is his own.
I got my note2 on ebay for 435.00 includ shipping.
But I had to hunt for it almost 6 month.

Anything on Craigslist/ Ebay/ Amazon for really cheap- Less than $400 or so, I would consider suspicious. Especially the ones that look really new. Some people claim on insurance and the one they are selling you is the one they probably got off of insurance by ripping someone else off. Ebay is a little better because they have buyer protection- but still, it's only 30 days and the original owner can report lost/stolen, claim insurance after 30 day period.
Bought a Note 2 for $500 brand new and a week later, got it blocked.
I have heard that if you meet with the seller at a Tmobile store, they'll be able to switch over the IMEI- but make sure it's not on a payment plan or you'll be screwed even if you switch over the IMEI..
