Stolen from SD:

Look at the offer at:
T-Mobile

You pay $30
You get:
1 $25 prepaid refill card - good for any T-Mobile prepaid phone
1 $10 starter refill card - (comes in the package with the phone and can also can be used on any T-Mobile prepaid phone)
1 brand new in the box Nokia 6030 cell phone with My Faves and FM and all of that

So far you're getting $35 dollars of minutes for $30 and getting the phone for free. No rebates, no waiting, and FREE SHIPPING.

Now - would you like your $30 back?
No problem there either.
Go to Rebate Link
Click on the 'radio button' for New Customer
Select Nokia 6030 TMO To Go from the drop down list
Select today's date as your purchase date
Click the SEARCH button
And at the bottom of the page there will be a single rebate offer you qualify for
Click on the link
And then you can fill out the rebate form online

The rebate form does state not for prepaid...
Yet the WHOLE rebate form is dedicated to prepaid TO GO service, so do the deal at your own risk. Or call T-Mobile CS for verification.

Link to CORRECTED rebate form


T-Mobile is re-processing and APPROVING all rebates that were initially denied!!!



Rebate PDF

I called the CS, they told me they had high call volume and to hold, then hung up on me!

This is sweet if it's free, but I have no experience with T-Mobile rebates, so I can't comment whether they'll try and deny it.

EDIT:

from SD:
"(CSR told me that even though the printed version says "For Postpaid only" in the fine print, that if you fill it out on-line rather than use the form, there won't be a problem. On-line form has no such restriction listed.)"

Not sure why I'm getting red... I was under the impression calling to clarify conflicting terms on a rebate form is fine... this deal has been around before, its not like they'll yank it because of a call.

Also, like I said, I never even talked to anyone! They hung up on me


Yea, wher the heck does it say "My Faves" are included?

Thanks


dont forget CashBack!

$5.00 per device on prepaid phone orders.

NEVER CALL


sorry for my stupid question.

Does the prepaid service need to be activated?


wabjtam said: sorry for my stupid question.

Yes, it says you have to have made at least one call.

Now, my stupid question: what does postpaid mean? Is that a cell phone monthly plan?


And the fun begins again.


does it cost anything to activate it? and also can you swap your current sim card and use it in this phone?


All the answers to everybodies questions about this offer are here.

no activation fee. no contract. yes, you can use your existing t-mo sim (even post paid). To use with another carrier, you have to unlock the phone.


now please welcome yesidoknowitall...

It shows when I choose payment:
IMPORTANT CUSTOMER INFORMATION
* YOU HAVE SELECTED A RATE PLAN WITH A FIXED TERM OF TWENTY-FOUR (24) MONTHS.*
* There is a one-time $35.00 activation fee per new line of service.*
* We charge a monthly Regulatory Programs Fee of $0.86 (plus tax) per month per line of service. This is not a government-required tax or charge.

Confused.


For the $25 refill card, do I have to purchase it first (add to cart), and get the rebate of $25 later ? It sounds like it when you click on the $25 refill card promotion.

Thanks;

If you read further down, then you'll see that the '*' says it does not apply to prepaid service.

This phone will not work in India, even if it's unlocked.


i;m in for 2, what the heck. i;ve got no rebates outstanding for once, and i can use these phones for backups if/when my kids bust their current T-Mobile phones. let the rebate games begin !!

Do you know if the Motorola V195 works in India? That is quadband.


can i buy it and use $10 & $25 refill cards to refill my existing prepay account then keep the new phone without activate?


Does not work for me. This is what I get:

"We're sorry, but we are currently unable to process your order online. Please visit one of our retail stores to complete your order."

Yes.


In 4 one. Thanks OP!


Got one
Thx op


zapjb said: namcongtu said: can i buy it and use $10 & $25 refill cards to refill my existing prepay account then keep the new phone without activate?
Yes.

i have about 714 minutes left, if i refilled my account by buying this phone with $10 & $25 refill cards then would i have another 350 mintues (10 cents/mintue) and all minutes would be extended for 1 more year?

What ?? If you unlock the device, why wont it work ? Incompatible bands ???


kringan said: What ?? If you unlock the device, why wont it work ? Incompatible bands ???
India is 900MHz and this Nokia doesn't have that band. Motorola V195 should work is India after it's unlocked.


namcongtu said: zapjb said: namcongtu said: can i buy it and use $10 & $25 refill cards to refill my existing prepay account then keep the new phone without activate?
Yes.

i have about 714 minutes left, if i refilled my account by buying this phone with $10 & $25 refill cards then would i have another 350 mintues (10 cents/mintue)?

No. With GR, $10 card = 35 mins & $25 card = 150 mins.


I have the same exact rebate form (for T-Mobile Pay-as-you-go Nokia 6030), where it says "This rebate offer is for Prepaid customers only; it does not apply to Postpaid service").
This is my first post at FW, so I don't know where to upload the PDF file.... last month when I bought this same Nokia 6030 pre-paid phone from T-Mobile website, the rebate form they sent along with the phone said as "...offer is for Postpaid customers only.."....then I called the customer service and they gave me a link to download the other form which said "...offer is for Prepaid customers only..".... I don't have that link but have the PDF file with me.


All the different bands in various countries:

GSM bands by country/company


In the ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION section its written as "This rebate offer is for Postpaid customers only; it does not apply to Prepaid service." Can we buy it and use it as prepaid customer as described in the deal???

hmmm correct me if i am wrong, as i have heard that if my account has about 615 or more minutes left, any refill amount would be a 10 cents/minute


In for one... Thanks OP.

That's the YMMV and risk involved. The whole form is for T-Mobile To-GO including the mailing address, so we can ry to fight it if the rebate is denied.

P.S. My order has already shipped 2nd day Air, for free.

I received a call yesterday evening from someone who said he was from Tmobile. I was in the halloween parade and asked the guy to call me back. The phone # was private so I cannot call back.
Did anyone receive this call?
