actually, four day sale. Monday will be included and its any phone as long as they decide to sign up for a data plan such as EasyEdge, Blackberry, WinMob, or Premium Mobile Internet. Thats how they get the rebate.

really for free? How long do you have to commit to for the data plan. I'm ready to buy a new phone and if I can get it free that would be great. Can we have some more details or is this a joke?

straight up true. just found out today. if its a blackberry/winmob/premium, the commitment for the data is for the entire time the phone is active on the account. if its just EasyEdge, until you get your rebate back. Gonna be epic! 😁

is this just for new customers? or can u get another phone in the middle of your contract with this special rebate??

it just depends. new customers of course are eligible for it. customers with service already can upgrade to a premium internet phone of a smart phone as long as they have been a year in contract. there is always the "buy out your contract" and its a prorated cost after 4 months in. so it just depends really. you can also renew lines on a family plan that are eligible and move that phone to one that isnt, and then putting the original or a different phone on.

sorry for the length! 😕

MrBlack, are you an employee? You seem to know alot of what is going on... And if you are, then you are just plain stupid... Why would you want to tell your competitors whats about to go down? Unless you are a broke employee and are about to enjoy the unemployment line...

who cares if it gets out. Fliers have already been sent to customers and its not like any competitor is going to match it anyways. Every carrier will be doing their own promotion that weekend.

fliers have already been sent out in WI. Not sure about other markets, but I'm guessing it'll be a national promotion

I got my Tour on 10/27, the day they came out. By my calendar, BF will be day 31. I've already called CS to see about getting a price match and they played dumb and told me I would have to wait until the sale date and check back then. I got an email from someone else at USCC who told me... Sorry, day 31, you are SOL. Any chance I could still get this price match guarantee somehow??? Thanks.

Trainboy, Since u have 30days to return it cant u just take it back, return it.then rebuy to take advantage of the sale?
...
Trainboy

Nov 23, 2009, 2:55 PM
No, because I traded in a Tritan in 30 days to get the Tour. Don't think I can return 2 phones can I?

Nope u can't

Technically speaking, the 27th would be Day 1, so your 30th day would actually be today, making Friday Day 32.

That being said, you've already admitted to exchanging once and your 30 days does not restart from the exchange date...it stems from the original contract date (the day you got the Tritan), so sorry, you're not likely to get the price guarantee...but there is no harm in trying

Yes, I tried. And just like you said, the answer appears to be SOL. But I tried.

yes there is a super sale going on the 4 days after thanksgiving. New customers get the deal, customers wishing to upgrade after 12 months from a feature to premium, premium to smartphone, or feature to smart phone. Or the traditional 18 months rule applies. Right now the current deal is run at %50 off premium/smartphones after rebate...if you want to add a line you can get that access fee waived for the 1st yr.

I wouldn't really call it "behind closed doors" sale. considering I recieved a flyer in the mail late last week.

The word is out! Now just release my TP2 and i will be a very happy customer on Black Friday!!!!

As I've already pointed out, USCC started advertising this by flier before I posted anything, whether intentional or not.

As for them tracking me down, good luck...I couldn't care less.

So I am looking to upgrade my phones. I have had the plan for about 19-20 months. We want to upgrade from our ux200 slide phones to blackberries, or to the LG titans. Is this covered for both? Or do I have to be a new contract. Also its $70 for any blackberries and than you get a $70 mail in rebate? Thank you for the information

Possibly, but after speaking with inventory services yesterday you may not get one there either.
