Tmobile Stores Nokia 1661 prepaid for just $9.99 YMMV:
In the Boston area store, the guy said that they are putting these phones on sale. Used to be $19.99 yesterday. They come with a sim card which the store sells alone for $10 ! They come with a small # of starter minutes, 10? And a charger. Nice little phone even comes with an FM radio- the earphones double as the antenna! If you're going for the T-mo-to-go plan, this could be a great start.

***deal has just ended in Boston area: phone back to 19.99.

Is this B&M only or can it be done online?

Good deal - still shows $19.99 online. Does it ring up at $9.99 or did he have to do some sort of override? For $10 + tax it's a bargain. They'll make you activate it in store but if anything just take the SIM card out and use it on your postpaid plan, or give it to someone as a gift.

so far just in the store- i checked the website. he said they were gettin g more of them in too, so maybe they're just moving onto bigger and better, maybe the online will change soon too. today was the first day it's on sale in the T-Mobile store.

i had this and it was not very good. the keys felt very cheap. picked up some other nokia phone for $30 that was better. my advice, pay another $10 to get a better phone.

How often do those offers happen? that sounds good too. The $9.99 offer might just be an in-store deal, I wonder if it is National? Anyone peek in a TMobile Store outside of Boston to check yet?

I tried calling my local T-Mo store to ask what their cheapest prepaid phone was but nobody answered at two stores. Ah well..

Can this phone be used with AT&T's prepaid service by swapping out the SIM?

Not unless you unlock it, which would cost you twice as much as the phone.

You could always try and call AT&T and see if they will unlock it for you, YMMV

It has a pretty bright "flashlight" built into it also.

Yes! You can use this phone with your T Mobile postpaid sim card.

i bought this at target for $14.99. buttons are a little hard to press esp if you have big fingers and feels really "plasticky." but i guess if you're looking for a really cheap phone, this is a good deal...comes with a built in flashlight feature which is pretty much the coolest thing about the phone

also i did NOT have to unlock the phone. i have a regular plan with tmobile and just switched out my sim card in it and it worked fine.

Tmobile->Tmobile is fine without unlocking, Tmobile->anyone else it needs to be unlocked.
