Friend too scared to call AT&T, how hard is it to get a Bold at a good price?
 

Recently I got a Javelin from T-Mobile for 179 in 3 installment payments with nothing up front, but I had to threaten to cancel service. I was curious if AT&T had a similar department (Customer Loyalty), and what the best price I could expect for a Bold. I'm going to call for him because he's too scared to negotiate. It's been about 7 months since he got his last upgrade. Also, does AT&T do any installment plans? Thanks in advance for any info.

Here in Canada, Rogers offered the Bold for CAD100, which is about USD80. If you take into acct that electronics are cheaper in the US than they are here, he can probably get a better deal than I got (not even sure if I got a good deal - I'm very disappointed with this phone :-()

Why don't he just check Ebay or somewhere around those lines? He could get one probably cheaper than AT&T would give one. Since all they want is your money. :p

Corp stores won't usually deal, especially for popular devices. You can get a Bold refurb now on ATT for $249. That is $50 off the price of a new one.

I wonder if the rufurb ones come with a newer OS?

I got mine for $250 bucks with a $100 rebate from Amazon. I was also able to get it insured.

I went to an AT&T store and got one on an upgrade for $117 after a $100 instant rebate... but then again we have the most awesome customer service dude in all the land working in that store...

i got mine thru costco/att website (new activation). it's refurb but can't see any diff from new. i paid a buck fifty ($161 w/taxes). it came with home and car chargers, 2 carrying cases; 1 leather, jabra bt4051 wireless headset, usb cord, free activation, free 2 day air.

8-) i'm happy!

Wow enduser! That's a great deal, that's going to make me think...

Just bought my Bold last week from AT&T for $194.00 and then they advised me that I was eligible for a $100.00 mail-in rebate YAY!!!!
