Free T-mobile Blackberry Devices (1 or 2 year term required)

I heard this from a friend of a friend on SD bluprnt1,

There's a promotion targeting Blackberry Developers, so I think you need the correct code. Here's what you can get:

BB 8100 (PEARL) = FREE after rebate
BB 8700 = FREE after rebate
BB 8320 (CURVE) = $49 after rebate
BB 8800 = $99
BB 8820 = $199

You have to call T-Mobile's Business Direct number and mention either the "campaign name'"or the "promo code" below:

Business Direct: 1-866-464-8662 (option 3)
Campaign Name: RIM Blackberry Offer
Promo Code: 7490TMOFAV

I believe you can choose either 1 or 2 year term. They waive the activation fee and also ship the BB to you for free. Not sure how long the promo runs but she said that it should be good at least through the end of June.

Many free after rebate BBs at amazon

if u buy from Amazon u have to buy bb data plan + 2 yr contract + activation fee.

now which one is a good deal?

with this deal, you can add a line to your family plan and msisdn reuse your phone line to use your old number

Yes, but the BlackBerry 8100 Sapphire from Tmo at Amazon is $-99.99 shipped after rebates and that could make up for the activation and contract for some people.

I wonder if I could get rid of the data plan after a month or so and pay for voice only. I could upgrade my wife's out of contract phone and just move the SIMs if that would work.

The new Pearl 8120 comes out on the 14th. That would be a good phone to get if they offer it.

I got my BB Pearl from Costco for free with instant rebate (and make $50 after rebate)... and 1000 minutes for $39.95 (plus $10 email, 5 text) about a month ago.

But the same deal could be had from stores in Chinatown... where they even throw in a Bluetooth headset!

Not even Costco can be the aggressive retailers in Chinatown... ANY Chinatown in general (that's what I came to understand anyway)!

SWEET!
$99 for the 8800, eligible for the $29.99 plan.

No activation, free expedited shipping.

THANKS OP!

Did you go with any data plan? or can we get the phone without any data plan?, Thanks

I added the $20 Blackberry data plan, but the rep said his system did not have ANY requirements for the purchase of the promo. I could get the cheapest voice plan, and no data plan if I wanted.

Can anyone confirm if the T-zones trick with any of these BB devices?

anyone been able to take advantage of this offer with an OOC individual plan?

Yes sir

i finally figured out what MSISDN Reuse means in terms of how it work (well at least how it works to the rep i talked to). She said it cancels your current line and puts the phone number back in to the pool of recycled numbers. Then you are essentially requesting that your new number be changed and you would like to select a number. the number you select is your old one (obviously). she said theres like a 5% chance you might not get it back, but in my area they have numbers sitting around from early March so its not too bad. Everyone that has done the MSISDN reuse has gotten their number back so its pretty safe to do.

guys i tried the msisdn reuse method to get my old number from my OOC line to my new line and the rep said it is not possible. is she kidding me? she must be tired because I called like 12am eastern time. I will tyr again today.

It seems as though BB has loosened their restrictions because when ordering from T-Mobile you can select from other data options including Total Internet ($19.99) or Unlimited E-mail ($9.99). You have to go through the ordering process to see the other choices and when you do that, no $5.99 plan shows up, so you probably have to call up to add that one.

Pearl 8120 is $149 AR. At this price, you might as well just upgrade your phone and save yourself the phone number port hassle. I just called this morning to order the 8320.

Is a BB data plan needed to get the rebates?

The new T-Mobile Pearl 8120 is now available. Anyone try to get that one yet? What's the discount?

I have a family plan with T-Mobile and am OUT OF CONTRACT.

Can I get this deal for 2 lines and how ?

I just called in today to see if they had anything exciting, new promotions going on.

The BB 8320 and BB 8520 are both free. The BB 8900 is $50.00. A BB data plan ($25.00 per month) is required.

I don't think the deals are anything exciting, especially, in view of the ongoing promotions at WalMart and Amazon.
