thenews said:Before I call in, just want to verify a couple of things:

    So it's not a definite $100 credit towards the upgraded phone, but seems like they will give you some sort of discount for not having Treo 650 available. Is this correct?


    T-Mobile website lists Razr at $199 (249 - 50 MIR) with 1 year extension for existing customers. Do we still qualify for the additional $50 MIR from tmobilerebates.com?


Thanks a lot.For me, the rep did not specifically say that the discount was due to the Treo 650 not being available - he did not even seem to know anything about the status of that phone. The $137.49 figure was what he started out offering to me.

As for the second question, we do qualify for the $50 MIR from the site.

Good luck!

just got off the phone with tmobile after waiting for an hour. account specialist wouldnt go below $185 for the razor and told me that there are no additional discounts availiable. i declined the offer, but was able to get an additional 100 minutes added onto my account for no additional charge.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Just a heads-up, the "six month free" deal is only for your base plan. It does not include add-ons or taxes. If your plan is $39.99 you'll receive a $39.99 credit..no more, no less.

TMobile has at least two call centers in Oregon that I am aware of.

Nice deal! With a little bit of work I just got a razr for $67-$50 MIR. Thanks OP!

nice to see a company do something for existing customers

Hows does the Razr compare to nokias new phone ? Im in search of a new phone

I'm 6 months into my 2nd contract(18 months total with T-Mobile). My current plan averages about ~$70 a month.

What would my chances be at getting a RAZR in the low hundreds. Anyone in a similar situation?

WTF???? Where did all the phones go on the T-Mobile website? Eleven phones??

Um, this means one of two things:

T-Mobile is going to merge with another company and is preparing to make the transition easier by paring down their current selection of phones.

T-Mobile is going bye bye.

Well, I don't know if that's exactly what it means (hehehe), but I think it would be definitely fair to conclude that they have a sucky phone collection.

BTW, where's the "hot deal" in this thread? Sounds to me like one big 'roll the dice' suggestion, and that's all. Not only that, but when you suggest that people get a phone and then sell it on eBay, the only thing you are doing is sending a message to t-mo not to make efforts to give generous upgrades; and since when did being able to sell something on eBay make it a "hot deal" anyway?

seems more like a conversation then a hot deal, and this conversation has already gone on in at least 3 other threads concerning the RAZR and T-Mobile.

Be wary of TMo rebate if they already gave you a deal. They are very strict about double dipping & I'm speaking from personal experience.

I was able to get my rebate (for one of my RAZRs, havn't submitted for my girlfriends yet) and havn't had a problem with T-Mobile rebates in the past, but there is a big YMMV in this part of the deal. I have had to call T-Mobile in the past for other rebates that they tried to deny (even stuff that was my fault, like not being on a plan at or above $39.99) and have been able to get a check every time with gentle persuasion.

Thanks for the good advice for anyone who is trying on this deal, however!

You probably also got a 12-month-from-today extension on your contract.

I called TMo a few weeks ago looking for a discounted phone. But, they didn't offer me the discount I was hoping for. However, they did offer me free minutes and no additional charge. I turned down the offer and the CSR was surprised that I was turning down "free" minutes -- I think it was 200 extra per month. I asked him if taking the minutes would put me back under contract (mine had been expired for a while) and the CSR told me "Yes, I would be under contract if I changed my plan".

You're right There really isn't anything here that isn't already common sense, but the fact that T-Mobile seems more willing to give out credit becuase they recognize that their phone upgrade choices have stagnated is a good thing. I definately wasn't suggesting that people sell their new phone -- keep it, and use it! However, some people don't seem to realize that their old phone can be unlocked (so that it's no longer tied to only T-Mobile) and sold or donated, which is a good thing if you don't need it anymore.

This is definately a conversation, but a few people have already been able to get new phones at a good price and stay with a company they like, so I think it's at least a warm deal if you can work it out. There are other threads out there but I wasn't able to find any threads that had complete details on how to get an upgrade credit for T-Mobile.

Thanks for your honesty
