T-Mobile To Offer Free Phones Saturday
June 15, 2010 | In: Cellular Phones
Mere days before Apple begins selling the new iPhone 4, T-Mobile will be offering free handsets on their network on Saturday.
This weekend if you sign up for any group calling plans, you will be eligible to receive a free mobile from T-Mobile starting at 8am on Saturday. And you won’t be getting a crap phone either, with the HTC myTouch 3G Slide being included in this new promotion.
The promotion includes T-Mobile’s newest smart phones running Google Inc.’s Android operating software, such as the HTC myTouch 3G Slide, which usually sells for $180 with a two-year contract and rebate, and Garminfone, which usually costs $200 with a two-year contract and rebate. Some phones will require a mail-in rebate, T-Mobile said.
T-Mobile USA Chief Operating Officer Jim Alling expects the promotion to appeal to both existing and prospective customers.
He said the promotion, which takes place less than a week before the iPhone 4’s June 24 release date, was already in the works before T-Mobile knew exactly when Apple’s latest version of the popular phone would be hitting store shelves. Analysts had expected a new iPhone in June, especially after a prototype surfaced in April on gadget blog Gizmodo.
Wow. Talk about a nice Father’s Day weekend, huh?
