Amazon sells t-mobile phones at super discounted price. In the past
i've been able to get a t-mo phone through Amazon for $300 less than
at the Tmobile store. For example, right now, you can get a $500
blackerry curve for $279 if you sign a two year contract at the t-mo
store. The same exact phone is $0 at Amazon, provided you are not
buying the phone to replace another t-mo contract. A lot of fancy
contract language basically sums up to we are only doing this for new
line customers.
That said, we've taken those deals in the past to save big bucks on
phones. However, we are now both currently under contracts from the
last deals we made. My contract is up in about 6 months and hers in up
in about 14 months.
Into month 42 (of 48), a button on my phone stopped working. I can
almost live with it for a few more months. According to T-mo i qualify
for the full discount to upgrade so I can get a phone for $279.
However, that same phone sells for $0 on Amazon for NEW LINES.
What happens when my contract expires (6 months from now) my wife
(already a t-mo customer), contracts a new Line - Not under a family
plan but just for an additional line under her same social security
number and buys the phone from Amazon for $0 signing a second
contract. It would then be the third t-mo line with our current
billing address. And at the same time I cancel service on my line.
The $300 question. Can T-mo or Amazon connect the dots between her
second contract and my first and make me return the Amazon Discount?
who's to say that second phone is not for one of the kids or her mom?
Or that I did not simply change carriers?
And if the contract is under my wifes SSN, will i be able to
administrate all features of the phone via phone support? that said,
is there anything stopping anybody who knows your SSN, home address,
mothers maiden and b-day from calling on your behalf.. or does gender
voice matter for security purposes?
I understand I am trying to exploit a contract loophole .. and I
appologize in advance.
Thanks.
