New Samsung A117 GoPhone for $20 profit AR and CB

I understand there are some other threads there for this phone, but I think this deal deserves a new one.

AT&T is offering the new (not refurb) Samsung A117 Go Phone , No Contract Prepaid Phone, for $20 - $20 rebate = Free. DealDigs has $20 Cash Back on this phone. The best thing is that DD has a new program - Weekly Instant Cash Back. According to its blog, members can get the Cash Back immediately for any orders placed under this program without waiting for 90 days. They are running this program on Samsung A117 this week.

I placed a test order yesterday, and my Cash Back is already available for redeeming today. So, even if I don't get my $20 AT&T rebate(although I believe I can get it), I already get this phone for free now. Really not bad for a backup phone.

This phone is easy to unlock and use with T-Mobile. Unlock Instruction.

Duo to it violates FW's policy to post link to other deal sites, I don't post the direct link here. To get the deal, simply go to DealDigs.com homepage and find it(the first deal).

Direct link on AT&T website for reference. I tried linking , but it fails

deal queen's significant other gives you $25 ca$hback

Any special terms in the rebate that we need to worry about? Like the phone needs to be activated and has a balance. Can I just get it, throw it and get the rebate.

I bought two Samsung A437 through Deaddigs and got my Cash Back back although I didn't keep any balance on it. I think the phone is shipped for pre-activated.

cchouse said: it looks like you have to sign a contract to me to get the att rebate. thanks ed

you don't have to sign any contract on this deal. It is Pay as You GO phone, or a prepaid phone. Just discard the SIM card in the order and use it as a backup phone for your current plan. If you unlock it, it can be used with any GSM provider if they run the networks on 850/1900 MHz.

It looks like you are forced to buy a $25 airtime card at the same time. Tried to remove it and it didn't work. I have a San Jose, CA zip code.

It looks like you have to keep the phone activated for 8 weeks to get the at&t promotion card.

In for one. Thanks Linktodeal!

Are there maintenance fees?

Also, if you order the $25 card airtime online within 7 days from your original order date, you get $10 additional airtime credit.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Would be good gifts.. Thanks OP.
