If your frugal heart's been holding out hope for a discounted drop of the high-end mobile goods, now would be the time to pounce. The Seattle-based [URL="http://www.engadget.com/tag/amazonwireless/"]web retailer's wireless arm[/URL] is throwing every phone from Sprint, Verizon and AT&T under the $0.01 umbrella for a limited time. Starting at midnight tonight (PDT) and running until the 28th, you can snatch up a [URL="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/11/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-review/"]Galaxy S II Skyrocket[/URL], [URL="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/07/motorola-droid-razr-review/"]Droid RAZR[/URL], [URL="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/15/htc-rezound-review/"]Rezound[/URL] or [URL="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/17/samsung-focus-s-review/"]Focus S[/URL] (just to name a few) for one Lincoln-embossed, copper-plated piece. But there's a catch, and you knew it was coming. In order to take advantage of this [I]Crazy Eddie[/I]-like steal, you'll have to sign up for a new line of service. So, bust out the credit card (and your credit report), the mobile bargains lie in wait at the source.[/QUOTE] Wow.

And the Galaxy S2 is completely sold out in 3, 2, 1.

Correct me if im wrong, but isnt this what we get over here in england? Free phones in exchange for a 12 month or 24 contract

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aqf_irqq-M[/media] Wait, only for new customers? Damn it.

Does it apply to the iPhone 4S? They did a similar thing a while back and that was exempted for some reason.

Damn it, they have none for tmobile and it's only for new customers.

Do they have the Galaxy Nexus yet? That shit is expensive in the UK. just under a grand for a 2 year contract...

Fuck, fuck, fuck my contract.

In the UK we get this anyway, every 24 months I get a new phone for free, it's great! :D

[QUOTE=Dogchow33;33375767]I have to PAY to upgrade my phone every 24 months when my contract runs out...D:[/QUOTE] :O Although, my contract is almost as expensive as the phone itself, so there you go. No such thing as a free lunch. (Phone)

Be aware that this deal only applies to the US, and you have to pick a quite expensive plan for the phone to actually be 1 cent.

Too bad you have to sign up for the "Amazonwireless.com" service. I could really use a Samsung Focus S.

God I really want to switch over to Sprint but I need a steady income that doesn't start until February.

[QUOTE=RubberFruit;33375793]:O Although, my contract is almost as expensive as the phone itself, so there you go. No such thing as a free lunch. (Phone)[/QUOTE] So technically you are paying for the phone which is what I meant.

woah i thought you guys would get the free phones before any of us. i'm paying like £25 a month for my iPhone 3gs which i think is actually cheaper than buying it on pay as you go and i get internet, texts and minutes for free so hooray

[QUOTE=Dogchow33;33376042]So technically you are paying for the phone which is what I meant.[/QUOTE] Almost. It depends on what phone you decide to upgrade to. See the contract is good on its own, it's got unlimited data, texts and minutes so at its price it's not just the phone you're paying for.

[QUOTE=Dah-thla;33375923]Too bad you have to sign up for the "Amazonwireless.com" service. I could really use a Samsung Focus S.[/QUOTE] What's that do?

[QUOTE=Dah-thla;33375923]Too bad you have to sign up for the "Amazonwireless.com" service. I could really use a Samsung Focus S.[/QUOTE] what the fuck are you on about you buy the phone through amazon, contract goes through the carrier

fuck my contract in the ass :( oh wait it's only if you're adding a new line or making a new plan. Adding 2 years to your family plan still costs $200, fuck that.

WWHHHAAAATTTTTTT omg does my contract need to be up or can I just get a new phone and switch over. I need a new phone so bad my current one is SHIT. oh nope gotta get it with the contract FUUCK

[QUOTE=TehWhale;33376611]what the fuck are you on about you buy the phone through amazon, contract goes through the carrier[/QUOTE] That guy was scaring me, I thought I'd have to pay some crap. I wish the Galaxy Nexus was on Sprint though :\

New line or new customers :(

Fuck credit cards, I'm not going in debt just for a penny.

I don't get whats so amazing, my phone company gives free phones if you sign a contract for 24-months.

when you sign a contact here those phones are normally $300 compared to the $800 normally

[QUOTE=Charlievrw;33378811]I don't get whats so amazing, my phone company gives free phones if you sign a contract for 24-months.[/QUOTE] Which Canadian phone company is this? It's not rogers, bell, telus, wind or mobilicity.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;33375771]Even in Canada there's usually a deal to get a free phone with a contract, or at least a heavily discounted one And this is Canada, the worst country in the world for cell phone users[/QUOTE] Still can be a n absolute rip off though. To even afford those phones you have to get a 3 year contract.. which we all know is a gigantic rip off/scam too. The two year contracts make the phone much less affordable :/

I'm already a current customer with Verizon and I'm up for an upgrade and wanting the Razr, but I most likely wouldn't qualify despite that.
