stupid rebate

AT&T usually requires your phone to be active in order to qualify for a rebate, which may mean you'll have to buy airtime. All in all, not a great deal and definitely not a great phone company. You'd be much better off getting prepaid service from T-Mobile or Virgin Mobile

not true #3, yes the phone has to be active but you can switch out the sim card and use the phone on existing AT&T plan. So, you don't have to buy minutes.

I personally just bought this no-frills phone two weeks ago....10 bucks no rebate.

BTW, the rebate is a 20 dollar visa-type gift card.

i've read somewhere you need to buy at least $15-25 worth of airtime with go phones ordered online from att. no less than that. sometimes with airtime it's same as a brand new retail, so may not be worth it. it works with any att sim.

the phone itself is a good backup phone but not for everyday use. i often hit the volume rocker when opening or closing. speaker/mic is ok, no complaints about sound quality.

Please note the use of the word may in my previous post, No. 4. And also note that AT&T may not be fooled by swapping out the SIM and using the phone with a postpaid plan. In fact, I suspect it's the SIM they're tracking and not the phone's serial number when considering whether the account's activated. Anyone who expects to try this system would be wise to check first to ensure they won't end up getting screwed out of their money. And be sure to take notes on the call in case of later troubles, as AT&T isn't known as being a particularly consumer-friendly company.

#4 probably purchased them from BB. I did likewise. BB not only swiped my CC, the service lady carbon copied it. Maybe BB are sending it to AT&T. Who knows? I'll fight to the death if Ma Bell wants more cash. Nowhere in the sale receipt or the advertisement does it say that Ma Bell require me to register the SIM and use it.

I stay clear of rebates over $15 dollars. Things are already cheap without rebates.(Cross my Fingers.)

WTF, I bought this from AT&T for 10 bucks...refurbed two weeks ago.

You don't have to buy minutes if you have a contracted plan with AT&T. Just switch the sims card out for the one you already have.

Contractual sim card doesn't work (say you dropped it in water or even lost the phone altogether) go to an AT&t store and ask for a new one.

So, you don't have to buy any minutes if you have a contract already with At&t

I feel like I am repeating myself, àssholes

#8....you may be wrong.if the rebate researcher tracks the sim connected to the esn....you won't get the rebate. If they are sloppy and only look that the esn is active....then you win.

did you read what I said #10. Do you want me to translate into spanish?

Did you read what you wrote, No. 11?
