Q about Amazon phone and 2 year contract

[makoona]

I got a nokia through Amazon and a 2 year cingular contract. there's a $150 rebate. if i cancel the contract within the 30 day trial period, can I keep the phone and forfeit the 150 $ rebate???

Im really not trying to be rude, but what would be your guess?

I would say no, you would not recieve your $150 rebate if you canceled your service within 30 days. I'm quite sure it tells you this in the terms and conditions of the rebate.

you can keep your phone, but you will be charged full price for it.

Why in the world would you assume that they would give you such a piece of expensive hardware for trying them out for only 30 days? I would rethink the math.

If your canceling with Cingular, why do you want to keep the phone? To sell? Any other service provider will be able to offer you deals on phones.

I'm guessing that if you want to keep the phone, they're going to charge you full retail. Problem with "full retail" is that it's usually quite high and depends a lot on who is selling. I say, ship the phone back when you cancel and avoid the whole thing.

will you people just answer the friggin question if you acually have an answer and stop with the opinioin and judgement based on knowing absolutely nothing about the situation? I swear. Yap yap yap

you could keep the phone, but amazon charges $250 to your credit card you used when you purchased it, plus you would forfeit the rebate. Plus you dont get the money back that you paid for the phone initially.

Your right, my mistake

I think this is correct.

This came right off of amazon's website! I know you won't get the rebate either, but you will be able to keep the phone!

Your price paid includes an Equipment Discount of $250 that has been provided to you by this Cingular authorized agent for activating a new non-substitute line of service with Cingular, and maintaining this new line of service with the selected rate plan in good standing for a minimum of 181 consecutive days.

By accepting this Equipment Discount, you agree that for a period of 181 days after your new line of service is activated, you


Will pay your balance due to Cingular each month
Will not disconnect this Cingular line of service
Will not transfer this equipment to another Cingular line of service
Will not port an existing phone number to this new line of service
Will not change your Cingular service rate plan to a lower monthly service rate
Will not use this new line of service to replace an existing account with Cingular

If these conditions are not met, you herein provide authorization for a $250 reimbursement to be charged to your credit card by this Cingular authorized agent without need for further approval. This reimbursement of the $250 Equipment Discount will only be charged if the above conditions are not met.
