HTC 2125 / 2100 (Faraday)
Rebate fun part duex (~$100)
All,
Okay, some advice is needed. The following $100-off rebate is online and valid through Feb. 11: http://onlinestorez.cingular.com/cell-phone-s ervice/media/pdf/CEN5_5010_1400.pdf?WT.svl=re b22
From the text of the rebate, it should apply to BOTH 1 and 2 year contracts. However, after spending the last hour on the phone with Cingular, they claimed that, regardless of the text of the rebate, it only applies to 2 year contracts.
I don't want to be locked into a 2 year contract, and I want the $100 off. Do I get a 1 year contract, send in the rebate, and just cross my fingers? Or will Cingular screw me over this and not honor the rebate?
Help?

Geez.. Cingular support ROYALLY sucks. I finally called a number on the rebate and the dude on the end of the line assured me that the rebate WOULD in fact qualify. So I just called back to place a 1 year order, and the woman who answered this time didn't even hesitate before agreeing that I'd certainly qualify for the rebate with a 1 year plan. WTF?? A different answer every time I call.
But anyway, if you're thinking about getting this phone (and a data plan) the rebate in the parent post will save you $100. AND, if you have a friend that also has Cingular, use this (https://referral.cingular.com/) site after activating your account and you'll each get $25 back. So you can save a total of $125 when getting the phone.
Not too sh...

Greed Cingular support really sucks. Thinking about this phone to purchase. But, with all the posts on service, insurance, etc...
It doesn't make sense to purchase anything from them. We have the same number for twelve years, before cingular of course.
But, I digress, It seems they still have the lowest priced plans for service. Not sureifI will buy the phone from themor another retailer. Will keep you updated.
