Nothing else to buy, but to qualify for the rebate, you must activate the SIM, make at least one call, and your account must be active when the rebate is processed. The airtime is valid for 90 days, so it shouldn't be necessary to add any more time (assuming you save at least a minute). Discalimer: This is all based on the T&C's of previous TMO rebates.That's not what the CSR said when I talked to her. She understood why I wanted them (to replace a phone on a monthly plan) and she said the 10 minutes airtime was good for only 60 days (but I don't plan to use it as prepaid so I don't care). If I have any problems with anything she promised, I can always go to the local TMobile Company Store nearby and talk it over with them.

Same purpose here, I am currently on a myfave 500 plan with T-Mobile. My tmobile wing screen is cracked. i just want a cheap new phone while waiting for the replacement. Can I use this tmobile PREPAID cellphone with my old simcard (monthly account) and it will work just fine? I called the CSR but he said "since you told us that, we can not sell you the phone". I asked, "but it will work just fine right?", he said "I'm sorry, I can not tell you that". Please, could someone confirm? Thanks

Yes. Any T-Mobile phone will work on any T-Mobile type plan. You just swap the SIM cards.

in for one, can use this SIM in my iphone to verify the unlocking....

I did that. They later removed the rebate and they say they will go by what is on the website now rather than what was at the time of purchase.

Even BBB couldn't resolve the issue. They don't honor their own rebates.

May be take a print out from their web page showing the FAR as final price which shows instant discoutn and MIR

the sad part?

I almost cancelled when I saw the $1.73 in tax.

free phone, suuuuuuure! but charge me almost two bucks? i dunno......

HomoSapiens said:Thus if the rebate terms are the same as for Nok6030 a year ago (quoted above: activation, calls from the new number, new acct active when rebate is processed) -- it's pretty risky for me to hope to get the rebate within 20 days so that to have time to reactivate my old number/balance with the new set (after receiving the reabate check). I'd greatly appreciate if anyone knowledgeable about the current rebate post the info.Based on the previous rebate terms, you simply had to activate the SIM and make one call. After that, you can toss the SIM in the drawer and put your current SIM in the phone and use it.

BTW, people have reported in the past that they've received a postpaid rebate form, not a prepaid rebate form in the box, so look at it carefully before sending it.

Thanks for the comments.
NoMoneyInMyWallet -- I remember the last year discussion about getting a form for postpaid plans; I actually got one in the box myself; yet then there was a form online at the time of purchase, specifically for prepaid, where the only subtle point was about "authorized dealer". CSR "promised" me then that buying from T-Mobile.com would qualify. This time, however, I can't find any form online.

About swapping the sims -- is my 2nd concern, as I don't have another sim; I'll need TMo CSR on the phone to somehow deactivate my new prepaid acct (the one I'll buy with this Nokia 2610), and then to reload my old (stolen) number and balance to this freshly bought sim. I'd rather have my rebate check in hand before calling for this operation. Last year I got the Nok6030 reabate within 2 weeks, probably because I was their new customer, perfectly smoothly.

Kariput said:I can't comment about the current rebate, but I did this deal last year to get a replacement phone for my monthly plan. Here's what you had to do:

1) Activate the SIM card that comes with the phone. You'll be given a new number that is associated with this card.

2) Make one call using the phone and SIM card to fulfill the rebate terms.

3) Swap out the SIM card for the one associated with whatever other TM account you want to use. The phone is now good to go.

4) The account you established in step 1 stays active as long as it has airtime remaining - regardless of whether the SIM card is in a phone.

Correction on #4. All unused minutes are only good for 90 days from the last time you added minutes.
