HTC One S

Anyone getting the HTC One S next week? It's due to be released on 4/25.

HTC One S

Looks like it should be a real nice phone.

$599 retail price announced. No word yet on new/upgrade price.

I will be upgrading my wife's Vibrant to this. Hopefully, loyalty will give me a good deal

 

I ordered 2 from the loyalty department. $65 each. They gave me a sweet deal. Plus, i can use the trade in promo and pick up $150 there.

 

The first time I called, I was offered $130 each. In addition, one line currently doesn't have a data plan and the other 2 lines both have the $20 "unlimited" loyalty data plan. The rep offered me a $10/mo discount for adding a data plan to the 3rd line. I could either choose the $20 unlimited or the $10 200M and then get $10 off, effectively making the 200M plan free for 2 years.

I needed to first see the One S in person, so I asked if he could call me back the next morning.

When he called back, I mentioned that the phone was night but that my daughter really wanted an "iphone". T-Mobile REALLY hates that word as I'm sure they bleed customers leaving for the iphone daily. Anyhow, after discussing how to figure out which phone to use with which number, I asked if he could do better, maybe $100 per phone (someone on slickdeals had posted they got that). He said he had to check some numbers and came back and said he could do $130 and buy one get one free. That was even better than I asked for.

So 2 phones for $65 each basically, no rebates, no activation/upgrade charge and $10 recurring data credit for 24 months.

Very happy. But, that's what I expect from T-Mobile and it's why I've been a customer for over 10 years now.

I still can't figure out what's going on in my account though. I only see what appears to be a receipt for 1 phone for $237.08 and then there's a credit balance on my account for $129.80 (he was going to charge retail for the phone and then just issue a credit to the account). I don't know if they've yet to apply the phone charge to my account and not sure where the receipt for the 2nd phone is.

Not worried. I'll wait until I activate the phones and then see what comes up on the site and will just contact them to fix, if necessary.

Good luck!

 

Got my 2 new HTC One S phones last night. So far, very happy. They look great and are very snappy.

 

Don't know.

Right now, I have about a $350 credit balance showing on my account (apparently those are the credits provided to offset the $200+tax times 2 retail price to get me to the $65/phone price). I never gave them a credit card, so I assume they'll bill it to my account, but it's obviously not on there yet or I wouldn't have that huge credit balance.

At what point does it typically show up on the account as a debit?

 

Try someone else?

How long have you been a customer? What's your current contract status?

There's an all phones free rumor for Mother's Day, so might want to see if that materializes as well.

 

From everything I've seen, the One S is not included in that promo.

Have you seen otherwise?
