Rep question: Upgrading

I've had T-mobile for 11 months now with a family plan, which 2 phones are up for upgrades. I called the other day to get a new phone and the guy told me the TM150 would be $199.99 with a $100 mail in rebate. I was able to get him to go down to $80 with no rebate since the website has it for $50 after an instant rebate(plus $35 activation for new customers). He, also, told me the E315 would be $60($25+$35 activation from website). I had to make sure of the price, so I told him I'd call back and he said hed make a note on the account of the price I was quoted. Anyway, when I called back they told me the E315 would be $179.99 and the TM150 would be $199.99, but they saw that there was a note about the TM150 and they could do it for $80. ...

I am not a rep. why can't you just sign up for a new family plan(with a new name other than yours).The reason is that I just saw it today that you caan get 2 TM-150 for free plus $150 at www.intelenetwireless.com, with 1 year contract.
hope this help with your decisions.

Anybody who quoted you 60.00 for the E315 was smoking crack and not sharing... 179.99 is the lowest price available on that phone--I have NO idea where he was pulling the sixty buck figure from. 😳

$179.99 for a 315 is a joke, My store does those on a renewal for $125. The TM 150 price is pretty good though.

No, he isn't smokin' crack or imagining anything, but he was given a very, VERY rare offer. Basically, our online store (T-Mobile.com)currently is offering the E315 for $24.99 with NEW activation as a promotion. Just like sometimes dealers or even corporate stores with permission can run specials for a limited time, our website does too. Now, technically, our upgrade program/pricing is called "same as new", right? Which is once our customers reach the point we can offer them the maximum discount. SO: if a customer calls in about a website offer, they have to specifically mention the offer they saw, be off contract, escalated, and threatening to cancel before a website offer match can/will be made, and it's still not 100% guaranteed it will b...
