Since this model came out, about 2 years ago.
They included the sim with a 10 minute activation code.
Not $10.00 as someone mentioned.

Also they are $29.xx OTD at WalMart and elsewhere.
Target had them on closeout for the last 2 weeks at $20.97 in Oregon

Others in FW reported $15.00.

i also had a tough time getting my rebate on the 6030 even though it was listed on the site.
i had to contact the BBB to get the rebate.
still, this isnt a bad deal. i'd go for the free $25 card over the rebate though.

i am very happy with tmobile service in general though.

i wanted to comment on the prepaid by the day calling plan.
i never noticed this before.
Pay By The Day
Unlimited Nights 7 p.m to 7 a.m.
Unlimited Nationwide Calling to any T-Mobile number
10¢ per minute all other domestic calls
Daily Access Charge $1.00 only on the days you use your phone

Perhaps it might be worth it to buy a second sim card and put this plan on it or a 2nd phone.

Did it advise you can do
live chat
or have them
call you
to complete the order.

That his the message I got.
I went for them calling me, they asked a few bizarre questions and completed the order.

How do I get a live chat and have them to call me back? I've called 1-800-937-8997 and was told the office is closed.

Went to Target today. There were a bunch of 2610 in the cell phone area, all marked at $15. Maybe 8 phones total. Got myself one.
I thought of doing this "FAR" deal for a prepaid plan, but after reading this blog, I decided not to do T-Mobile offer. $15 is good enough for me. Thanks for the heads up.

T-Mobile DOES NOT PAY REBATES ON PREPAID PHONES, PERIOD.!!!



they have good service though, and it's worth it to pay more to avoid the scuzz at tracfone. even though they ripped me off on the rebate, who in their right mind would want to go back to tracfart?
