Phone 1
Phone 2
Phone 3

thanks rbwilton

I understand that among the three, Phone 1 (t349) is most suitable for texting.
But for voice only, why would one want Phone 2 (t239) over Phone 1 (W233)?
The reasons I am asking are:
- I need one for voice only
- It appears that t239 isn't good for texting, so it must be good for voice
- It seems that the W233 is a nice phone as well, plus it's $10 cheaper

Thanks for any sincere and knowledgeable responses

I have recently purchased both the W233 and T349 thru these Tmobile deals, and I'd recommend the T349. The W233 ends up making you a few bucks after your figure in the free minutes and BCB, while the T349 ends up costing a few, but the T349 is a clearly superior phone. The T349 has a much better screen, a camera good for low rez daylight photos, a better music player, can take a larger 4gb microsd, and the kinda qwerty keypad makes it much easier to enter contact info and other data. Also you have email access in a pinch and the sound/voice quality seems better.

The T349 is also possible to unlock yourself with a few keypresses if you want to use it with a different carrier. Instructions here: http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/987112?highlight_key=y&keyword1=samsung&lastpage=1

BTW - if you use BCB, be sure to keep your emails and take screen shots or printouts at checkout, since there have been issues with BCB not going thru automatically and MS needing additional proof to get your purchase counted. See the other recent Tmobile threads for details.

It does, but as I said, you may have to follow up on your transaction to make sure it goes thru.

I'm going to ask this before anyone else :
How do you stack FW CB and BCB?
Thanks a lot for your help.

"Order by phone at 1-877-387-4324
"We are temporarily unable to take your order online. We apologize for the inconvenience"
Guess no BCB if one orders by phone

Good deal.

Bing shows 35% promo in Explorer and doesn't show in FF, for me anyways.

It's in the area just under the search box, and above the search results.

Only the T239 have bluetooth.

Guess no BCB if one orders by phone I got the same for the t349 a few times and now says back ordered.

I just bought the t349 and it does have bluetooth. That is a great phone for my light use. Very good sound quality and has some weight to it which is nice. I am happy with this model and would recommend it.

I have a tmobile prepaid phone, can I buy one of these phones (upgrade)and put my SIM card (which has plenty of mintues) to work with these phones? or Do I have to buy a new SIM card as well?

yes to only the first question. you just swap your sim into the new phone and your phone number and minutes transfer. sweet way to change phones. I have done it a couple times.

(got the order error when I tried)

Any idea how long will it take to show up Cash Back in BING?

My wifes cell is dead, can I swap the sim from a regular plan to this prepaid phone?

We really need to add a FAQ for ALL prepaid phone deals for your question.

Good deal, but note terms:

Void if not activated within 90 days from purchase. If you don't refill within 90 days after your last refill expiration date, you will lose your account.

yes. if it is T-Mobile. Else you need to unlock the phone.

- Don't think SIM card is include - Started kit only cotains phone, battery, charger etc.

From T-Mobile website:

"Pick your prepaid phone kit and start talking. Each kit includes a cool wireless phone, starter airtime, a battery, a charger, and a hands-free headset. Refill your minutes whenever you need more. Limit 2 per household"

Yeah - I noticed that too! Last month they threw in the SIM card as well. Tricky TMO, tricky!

Well crap I wish I had waited before I got my refill card that I will be applying soon to extend my service. I wasn't sure if this deal would return before then.
