Worried about Amazon.com

Since that particular deal requires that you get service from Cingular, I would think that this would be no different than buying the phone from a Cingular store or mall kiosk. You might want to call a Cingular store to verify this... it's a great deal, once you get the rebate check in your hands.

I actually thought about this for a few seconds, but I gotta stick with my Motorola MPx200... used to be AT&T Wireless, now they sold me to SunCom. (Harry Connick Jr.: "We're SunCom... and we get it!" Gah.)

 

its not a big deal. i believe amazon has a number you can call when you buy a phone anyways, because there are a lot of people like you.

 

Amazon is your best bet if you want this phone. They only require a 1 year contract with Cingular. If you go to the Cingular store, the phone is $200 after rebate with a 2 year agreement. You'll have no problems if the phone needs repair. Remember, the wireless carriers don't really want to sell you a phone (they lose money by subsidizing the costs), they want your business, er, contracts.

I just joined Cingular because I wanted a BT phone that worked with my Mac and my Acura TL. Cingular had the Motorola v551, Verizon did not. When I called Verizon to cancel (on the contract expiration date), they offered me a new phone, a $100 credit and sexual favors with the CEO's wife if I would stay with them.

 

I'd probably stay with Verizon.....



I wouldnt worry about Amazon, they're the biggest online retailer. They won't screw you over.

 

I wouldn't worry about Microsoft, they're the biggest operating system retailer. They won't screw you over.

Ha!

That being said, Amazon.com is amazing, and there should be no problems getting a phone through them.

 

Wow, she was that ugly?

 

Ouch... that hurts. Good thing you followed that up with saying Amazon is good, cause they really are. But the analogy to a Microsoft... gives me the chills...
