Can I unlock this and use it on Nextel? That'd be perfect for my parents who are using some really old phones.

No Nextel doesn't use GSM, it used their own iDEN network.

You can unlock this phone to use on AT&T or T-Mobile though.
Search A117 for last post with east unlocking instructions.

How many threads do we need on the same deal though?

To complete the order: add to cart; select cart details; remove $25 airtime card (assuming you don't want it), then checkout.

I'm not entirely sure how the AT&T rebate will work. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't see it mentioned in the "Mail-in Rebate via AT&T Promotion Card" link.

With or without the AT&T rebate, it's a good deal with the immediate CashBack.

Thanks linktodeal

I'm in for one. It'll be great if the unlock procedure works!

Green for the OP.

You have to take the $25 air-time card off in the pop-up window. You can't do it at the shopping cart level.

Saw my $20 CashBack on the website and already requested to get it to my paypal. No risk now even if I don't get the rebate.

Would like a samsung a437 phone because it works in other countries, but I guess a a117 wouldn't hurt.

The rebate form that came with the e-mail says that the phone should have been activated and in-use when the rebate is being processed. This boils down to at least a single recharge in order to get the AT&T rebate.

I was able to remove the $25 airtime card.

What is the definition of 'activated' and 'in use'? Can I activate the phone with the enclosed SIM card without purchasing airtime? How will they determine if the phone is 'in use'?

I went through Moneyjar, supposedly I am going to get the cost of the phone back, so it should be $20 Cash_Back... that plus the rebate should be $20 profit...

Why not buy one of each? You'd still be $15 ahead.

a117 = $20 profit after rebate and dd CashBack.
a437 = $5 total cost after dd CashBack.

Just be sure to place them as two separate orders. Be prepared to wait 90 days for your CashBack on the a437 though.

THnaks.

Any one help me to buy this go phone?

I go to ATT from dealdigs link and add it to my cart.

It asks me to add a plan for it before I can check out. Which should I choose?

Thanks.

When I did a similar deal on T-Mo, you had to activate the phone (SIM) by getting a number assigned to it and then place one call for it to be considered "in use". I was able to do that with the included starter kit and didn't buy extra air time. After I got my rebates I loaded the phone with my T-Mo monthly service SIM and have been using it with no problem.

I'm hoping things will work in a similar fashion with this deal... if unlocking is successful.

If you expect to talk more than 7 minutes on the days you use the phone or call other folks on the ATT network, go for the $1 per day + $.10 per minute + unlimited ATT. Otherwise choose the $.25 per minute plan.

Maybe a dumb question: can I order multiple phones in one order, say 2, to get the 2*$20 DealDigs rebate, or do I need to place separate orders? Thanks.

Would be good gifts.. Thanks OP.

Frequent Asked Questions

1. How long does it take for the DealDigs Cash Back to show up in my DealDigs account?

It usually takes one or two days for the merchant to report your order to DealDigs.com. Once your order is reported, the DealDigs Cash Back will be credited to your account automatically.

2. If I purchase two phones on two separate orders, will I get a $29.99 rebate for each order?

Yes. The DealDigs Cash Back for AT&T Wireless is $29.99 per order. So, if you want to buy two phones and get two $29.99 Cash Back, you MUST place two orders individually. If you buy more than one phone in an order, you can only get one $29.99 Cash Back.

In order to get the $29.99 Cash Back for each order, you must come back to this page every time when you place a new order and click on the Click Here to Buy link again .

3. Is there a DealDigs Cash Back rebate limit per person/household?

No. There is no limit on how many phones you can buy and how much Cash Back you can earn from DealDigs. As long as your order gets through from AT&T, you will get the $29.99 DealDigs Cash Back. However, the merchant (AT&T) might have a limit on how many phones you can buy. According to other buyers, you can buy three phones per address.

How to get $20 rebate from AT&T? Should the phone be activated and in use?


alert mods    

How would DD know baout our order? Do I need to enter the order details of this phone bought from ATT site?


alert mods    

You register at dealdigs, and go thru THEIR link to the AT&T phone. Deal Diggs will automatically track your order for the $20.
You can choose to have them send your a check or via paypal, depending on what preferences you setup on your dealdigs account.

When you get your confirmation email from AT&T, there will be a link to the additional rebate.

You fill out the rebate form, attach a confirmation of the email with the phone circled, and attach the imei code flap off the box, and send it in to AT&T to get the additional rebate.
