Looking for a T-Mobile Employee to help me out. (Will Paypal a few bucks)

[yeah]

hit my pm

cliffs:
-didn't get a rebate card for feb. 11th sale. instead, they credited me $250 on my account
-want to use $200 of that to cancel my contract, then pocket $50 (hopefully?)
-after I pay the ETF, i wanna buy a new phone from tmobile.com (they have a sale on the htc amaze, free.99 w/ new contract)
-trying to see if I can keep my number

Are you swiching carriers from T-Mobile? If so, I would go with Verizon. Not the best plans but their coverage is unbeatable. The only one who can compete with them is AT&T. T-Mobile is awful. Sprint has awful coverage. So stay away form those two

Cop the 4S, Galaxy Nexus, or Note. Can't go wrong with any one of them

Yeah. I hate T-Mobile's customer service. Took me 3 weeks to get anywhere with this rebate. Just fed up in general. I had my eyes on the Lumia 900 (You can get them for free.99 with AT&T,) but I've been trying to think of how I can come up on a Note.

I'd be selling this Samsung Galaxy S-II as well, so assuming I can get a buyer getting the Note shouldn't be an issue.

 

[bjamez20]

Note looks way too big for a cellphone IMO

As far as deals, check and see if any of the carriers give you a discount through your employer

 

[cashoutkeith]

Not to thread hijack, but does anyone know if AT&T does loaner phones when you lose your cell?

 

[yeah]

bump for topic change.

You want to cancel tmobile, to then buy a phone on contract with tmobile?

 

[yeah]

Yeah man.

I know it sounds weird but that's exactly it. Here's the deal:

T-Mobile was doing a sale in Feb, buy any smart phone with an unlimited call/text/data plan for $250 and get a $250 rebate later. My upgrade just so happened to be in Feb so I got the deal, not realizing that I would have to change my plan to include unlimited call/data (i had unlimited before, but it was capped at 2g instead of 5g like the new one.) I applied for the rebate, got denied, and basically was forced to change to the unlimited call/text/data in order to get the $250 rebate.

My plan is to go ahead use the $250 to cancel my contract (ETF is $200,) then pocket the $50 because I don't want to pay a $100+ monthly phone bill

. But I don't have a problem with their service and liked the old plan that I had. I was looking around for a new phone to get after I cancel and saw that they're having a sale on the HTC Amaze, and I can get it with my old plan (which is $70/month).

So basically, I got $250 from T-Mobile for signing up for a $100+/mo bill.
I'm going to use $200 of that $250 to cancel my contract.
THEN, I'm going to get a nice phone (HTC Amaze) for free with a cheaper bill ($70/mo) with T-Mobile.

Basically, I'm getting $50 to get a new number, new phone, and a cheaper bill.

-Open the new account
-Port your exsisting # from your exsisting account to the New account.
-Once everything is set on the New account, proceed to cancel the Old account.

you can't port a number that is already in a company, you can only port to outside companies.
Just Add A Line to your account and cancel the old one. Problem solved.

Im sure you can restart your contract once you do the early contract termination

  how?

 

[luckyluchiano]

Tmobile USe to let you crate sub accounts, where you could get 2 diff bills but tied to one SSN, but I think they stopped doing it, but if they still allow it do that, instead of the normal add a line, incase there is a balance on the account after canceling .
