I can't really tell you what the plans are, I would just change it now if you want that plan. You can always change it again after the first if you see one that fits you better.

Thanks for the help. 🙂
Anyone else have some tips for me?
thank you. 😁

make sure you check the coverage map, sometimes the biggest carrier isn't the best choice.

But Cingular is actually your best bet 😛

ok he has att so why would he need to check the coverage map? same signal if not better

Also,I may be wrong,but isn't CA one of the markets with the contract fulfillment clause?Or maybe I'm wrong....

I was going to bring that up.
I've had 3 customers in 2 hours yelling at me because of this.
If you're in CA, or the WEST market, you need to have completed 11 out of 12 months, or 21 out of 24 months in order to migrate with the discounted price. Otherwise, you CAN migrate, but you'll have to pay retail price for the phone.

Also, CA has what's called a "luxury tax" on cell phones...and I heard it was like 30%

If you want the Nation 1100 min family talk plan for $69.99 + $9.99/add line then get it before the 1st of June!

Word is the plans are changing..... The new family plan for that price is not quite as good IMHO. Can't give details though. But if you search the forum you may find details if the mods didn't delete the thread.

Thank you. Just did a search and found the new plan is 79.99 for 1000 min unlimited m2m and n/w for two phones.

Well, you copied the wrong one. This one is not quite accurate.

Additional lines past the first two will be $14.99 each.

If you get the $69.99 plus $9.99 buy May 31st you can still add up to three more lines for the $9.99 rate.

The $79.99 plan you described above starts on 6/1/05 and it includes 2 lines.

However, you are much better off going with the current $69.99 plan and getting 1100 minutes and then paying $9.99 for the extra line. That way you would get 100 more minutes for the same amount of money.

I do have a family plan right now. I just got off the phone with 611 and the gentleman told me that no matter where i upgrade (store, online, wirefly) as long as it was to cingular, I wouldn't have to pay the ETF. So right now wirefly looks like it might be the best deal. I'm just a little nervous about losing my wife's number. She would be royally pissed about that. 👿 But by going through wirefly.com I'm getting the phones for only $139 before $50 mail in. So i save about $110 after mail in. I think it sounds pretty good. Can I get that in the store? I know I sound like a cheap skate, but my wife will kill me when she finds out how much this stuff cost. So I'm trying to lessen the beating I'm going to get from her later on j/...

I still don't think Wirefly will work, the purpose of a migration is to prevent churn. By going through Wirefly you would be creating a phantom churn which would still affect the rates....I understand wanting to save money, but im not sure I would trust that.

Cool. thank you for your help. You have been a lot of help. I'd come get my phone from you if you were in sacramento or around there. 🙂

Well thank you. Im stuck on the east coast unfortunately, but hope to transfer out that way in a year or two.

You should come to Chicago hang out with Lord Revan05 on the south side. Hang out with me over in Schaumburg

You guys gonna pay for the trip? 😉

My car has been needing soooo many repairs lately. 😢

So does mine my car is a so car. It goes only so far can only go so fast and can only run for so long. I can't help u with the car but u should consider transfering to chicago go to network services make some real money.

Its too cold in Chicago.... *shivers* I was raised in AZ so I don't like cold weather, Penn is bad enough!

😉 Ah yes I'm sitting right across from SIMPLYMARCUS 😉

Lol so was that your suggestion?

😎 No I'm kind of forward with my thoughts, although I am curious about my Harrisburg counterpart 😉

I see. 😉 Lol well im honest and I answer the questions im asked. 😛

Yes, Wirefly would port the number like he is coming from T-Mobile, etc. They do not treat it as a migration. Most of the online companies are that way, based on their contract and compensation. They offer those deals because they get subtstantially higher upfront commissions that do most agents and COR (revenue wise). Migrations are much closer to upgrades when it comes to the revenue generated to the agent or COR. There is very little extra upfront profit to pass onto a customer as a handset discount.

So im right he shouldnt go through Wirefly?!?

Yeah, he would be disconnecting his AT&T without the migration process thereby resulting in an ETF. The resulting commission paid to wirefly would also preclude him getting that ETF refunded. As you stated, it looks like a true churn and Cingular paid a higher aquisition cost versus the migration commissions paid to a normal agent/COR.

Ok thanks for verifying.

shay! 😁

Jackie! 😁 How are you today?

Tired... And it is raining... 😢 I hope it clears up by Monday. 😢

It was raining here for a few hours but it quit. I hope it does too. Gonna be interesting trying to have a cookout in the rain lol.

Revan left me again. ☹️

You were right. just tried to buy my phones through wirefly.com and cingular wouldnt let me port my number. Can i negotiate with the rep at cingular? I know you guys need to make some dough, but if i catch a break, my dad, mom, two sisters and cousins are all going to go back to that person that cut me a deal. thanks for your help.

heh, wish we could, but we really can't change the equipment pricing

The secret is, if they're giving you a new phone number, they are NOT migrating you, and an ETF will ensue.
