In July, I'll have had my phone for two years, so I'm eligible for the $100 credit towards a new phone.

Is that $100 good on a, say, Slider which costs $99 with a contract, or is that $100 used against the $329 (or whatever) that the slider costs w/o a new contract?

That being said, I plan on renewing my contract. (So I assume the former, but want to be clear.)

Thanks

 

the "new every two" credit is good for UP TO $100 off the promotional sale price of the phone, not the full retail.

reason why i say UP TO is because the price of the phone can't fall below ZERO after any mail-in rebates and is not applicable towards any accessories.

you are correct in your assumption

 

Thanks.. and I also found out that it's new every 22 months, not 24 (2-years)

 

i've been wondering about this too... someone told me it's 24 months til you can get your $100 credit, someone else told me it's 21 months.

my plan started 7/27/02... on what exact date will i be eligible to get a new phone??

 

every 22 months.....to upgrade

 

slider has a $50 rebate now...

so... in that case, u would not have to pay $50, then get a $50 rebate in the mail, so it's free AFTER rebate.

hope u already got the phone cuz prior to this rebate, it would have been a wash with the new every two credit ($100 minus $100 = $0 out of pocket)
