Wanted a Samsung Galaxy S 2 (T989). It was free after mail in rebate. I didn't find out the particulars of the fine print until after I went in the store regardless of having searched for information on their main webpage. While there I was told that I had to buy at least an unlimited 5GB plan. Afterwards, I found the following online ad - http://www.tmonews.com/2012/02/t-mobiles-vale ntines-cupids-arrow-hits-mark-day-sale-is-tod ay-only/.

If it works for you then that's great.

The ad wasn't linked to the main website, that I could see. I did find it - after the fact, by googling the specific phrase. I even re-posted the link.

As far as the upgrade, I am not %100 certain on this, but you MAY have had to sign up for an additional two years as per website:
