The same tout that originally bring the variance to our attention venture on an heroic journey to figure out how he could get out of pass the $ 379 price outlined for data plan upgrade in theNexus One FAQ . In the end , Quinn managed to get the telephone for $ 180 , but it was n’t easy :
start the twenty-four hours of the release I attempted to insure a sheeny new toy to replace my aging iPhone only to find out out that Google / HTC / T - Mobile were hamstringing existing customer for anywhere from $ 100 – $ 200 on the toll of the earpiece , so I lay out out to get a sightly price . I spoke with a long list of Customer Care / Billing / Tech Support/ & Loyalty Specialists to operate through the job . A Tech Support agent along with help from Billing agents advise that I add a line of work to my existing account , then swap the created telephone set number with the original after a cancellation and reuse asking . This became unmanageable as someone on their goal droop my account wrong . I spent the good part of the next 36 hour asking if some flag had been activated on my account show I was no longer an Individual Regular Postpaid history . Only after threatening to cancel my invoice altogether did someone count on it out . Flag changed , I was now able to proceed . Added the agate line ( 865 orbit codification ) , ordered the phone and look for that to arrive . Once that was achieve , I called T - Mobile back to cancel my original line ( not on contract – no fee ) and file a reuse of the numeral . Then came the look secret plan . This morning time I waken to a text message from T - Mobile express that the telephone number registered for the sim card was my original issue ( 412 area codification ) . To tot it up in steps :
Requirements : Non - contract T - Mobile Customer , ability to sum up a stock
1 . sum a line through Google fit out process .
2 . await for phone arrival .
3 . Once acquired , call T - Mobile to cancel original number , then file a reuse request to swap it with the newly create number ( similar to a number port )
4 . Wait . ( 12 hrs slip away time prior to the trade ) .
All aver and done , Nexus One acquired for $ 179+taxes+$35 activation fee . One last caution ; by the terminal of the appendage , T - Mobile Specialists were cause aweary of this method acting so I would verify they will do this for customers before proceeding .
Again , there are no guarantees , but in this situation Quinn managed to save $ 200 on the monetary value of the telephone . So , if your contract has exhale , and you are unforced to add a production line then swap it later for your original turn ( if you have Google Voice there would be no need to swap number in the first office ) , it is deserving inquiring about before you promote .
