Phone prices from cingular.com
I've got a friend who's phone broke. He just got it like 3 months ago. He went into the store & they said it wasn't under warranty. The cheapest phones they had were $150+ and really boring. Anyway, he was wanting me to find out if the phones were cheaper online (cingular.com). I saw where there's an additional online discount for phones, if you're a new customer. I'm curious if anyone knows if there'll still be an online discount if you're not a new customer and not extending your contract??
...
to buy a cingular phone from the website, you need to sign new service or to be eligible for a 2 yr contract extension.
...
you can't buy phones from cingular.com without a contract, that retail price displayed is an average retail price, which can be more or less depending on where you go.
The best place to get phones without a contract are
Wal-Mart
Ebay
Local Flea Market
Store with Used Phones

A little OT:
Does Cingular has something akin to VZW which gives you a new phone (actually a $100 discount on top of discounted price) every 2 years you renew the contract for another 2 years?
VZW also allows to buy you a new phone at discounted prices every year you're on a contact.
What are Cingular policies in this respect?

you can get another phone either same as new (depending on store), or they can offer a different price if you call
...
Hmmm....could you help me with something. I got the Samsung c417(red) in Oct. 06 and it is giving me problem after problem. I want to get another phone maybe the 6102i. I signed a 2 year contract.
...
6102i is really bad about the antenna breaking off, and the only thing you can do is to call exchange by mail and have them mail you a new phone for free... 1-800-801-1101
...
and I did'nt mean thats your ONLY option I just meant only cheap option 😎
