Anywhere to buy the Pantech Duo w/o contract other than ebay?

Posted by: iJITSU

You can walk into a Corporate AT&T and pay full retail ($449) for it without a contract. Bought loads of phones at corporate stores without a contract. You can do the same at most authorized resellers though the phone will probably cost you more.

Like ^ said there but ull pay retail... "as they say, if u paid retail... u paid 2 much"

Being that Pantech is not a KNOWN pupular brand like Nokia, Motorola and SE, its gonna be hard to find elsewhere. Ebay is gonna be the most popular place to get it other than AT&T direct.
ive been searching for weeks for this phone and ebay is the ONLY place so far to find it.
u have ur options bud... pick just like i will have 2 eventually also...!! And believe me i HATE being under contract..!!!

I tried this, but they only have crappy sprint phones left lol

yeah, my compusa only had old overpriced phones sadly....we dont have frys here, BUT does anyone know if they will ship from instore b/c it's not available on their website?

Also, newegg.com had it for $299, but they're sold out now

CDW $451.00

That is the only other site i can think of, but $$$$$$

my beef with them is that other than obvious no insurance/return policies... they're going for $350+...more than a lot of stores...if i'm going to pay that much i'd rather buy it in store with a real receipt or from a reputable online seller

you can try craigslist, you can sometimes find good deals there. Gotta be careful though in terms of personal safety when exchanging money/valuables and obviously it is cash only and no warranty on the stuff you buy.

Fry's Electronics has them in some locations.

If you do get one, make sure you get a screen protector from clearprotector.com. I have the same phone and bought the protector from them and I love it.

My daughter just bought one on E-Bay for $250.00. When she received it, it was locked to ATT, so she got the unlock code and the phone works great on T-Mobile now. The phone she bought was brand new... she was lucky when the bids closed as others were between $300 and $400.

I recently bought one as a backup for my iphone, but i really like the phone and have been using it since, haha. I would sell it if interested. Im located in Richmond, VA
