1-year contract pricing on phones?

Is there anywhere I can find phone pricing for 1-year contracts without calling Cingular customer service? The website only lists phone pricing for 2-year commitments.

Most stores it is $50 to $70 more than the two year price. Also some rebates require a two year commitment to be valid.

Thanks. Is it the same if I'm calling Cingular instead of going to a store?

I would have a 2-year commitment so presumably any rebates would apply. Cingular CS said they'd do an "exception upgrade" with a phone at 1-year pricing if I start a new 2-year contract... I'm 1 year & 4 days into my 2 year contract with a sh*tty phone that can't hold a signal, so since I'm past the warranty period this is apparently one way I can get a new phone. Other options are to pay full retail, buy a GoPhone and use my SIM card, or shop eBay.

Send it to Motorola. They will repair it for free and your phone will perform better. Most manufacturers will repair phones within 15 motnhs of manufacture date.

Plus MOTOs repair center is right in Fort Worth off Beach and 820.

After the $18 upgrade fee, it's usually not worth upgrading at a 1 year price unless you have a $50 or higher rebate. Buy an unlocked one online. =)
