Deaf People and Sidekick 2's (T-Mobile Reps- take it away)

I have a question. I attend Jersey Village High School and every day in athletics i see one of the coaches "coach Skip" texting on his sidekick 2 (all irrelevant). Since there are more than 13 deaf kids in my athletic period they need a coach to translate what the regular coaches are saying (Sign Language). Coach Skip is also deaf, but he can hear a little bit but mostly reads lips. So one day i told him that i was interested in buying one and i asked him if i could see his sidekick 2. He gave me the phone and i was looking at all the cool features it had. I asked him how much he paid for the phone and he said that since he was deaf, he got it for FREE!!! 😲 😳 . So i was like haha... bull****. He said no I'm not kidding all you have to do ...

I also asked him if he could get me one for free, but he said that he couldn't because they would only give him one....and he already asked T-Mobile, and then told me to get my ass back to the weight room.





P.S. Alot of the info in my first post was irrelevant, but i'm REALLY REALLY bored ☹️

Call Customer Care and ask. I want to say it is an offer just for new activations (not available for upgrades), but I do know that we offer lots of special programs for disabled customers (i.e. blind customers can get free 411 service)

There are special steps that need to be taken in order to take advantage of any of the offers.

Good luck.
