Want a Motorola Backflip for free on-contract? Just visit Wirefly before midnight tonight
March 8, 2010 | by Robert Nelson
This weekend we saw the Motorola Backflip come available with AT&T, and those interested in making a purchase will have to shell out $199.99. Of course, $100 of that comes back by way of a mail-in-rebate making the final price $99.99 — but how would you like to get that same phone for free. Most would, but this is a limited time offer that expires at midnight tonight (for reference, today is Monday March 8, 2010.)
Anyway, the offer is coming courtesy of Wirefly who are offering the Motorola Backflip, along with most other AT&T phones for free. Yup, totally free, all discounts are instant. But remember the offer ends tonight at midnight.
If anyone is still looking at the Backflip, Walmart is offering it for free (w/contract) right now as well, plus a free 4GB microSD. I was looking at the Backflip on AT&T's site, which they're still offering for $99 w/contract. After a little looking around, I found Walmart's price and was sold.
Be careful ordering from Walmart.com. They use a horrible 3rd party vendor named LetsTalk. I order a couple phones through them and couldn't get through to return the whack phone within the 30 day grace period. I left voice and emails but no one ever returned my call. ATT couldn't do anything, and Walmart stores cant either.
Just a bit of advice so you dont get stuck with a phone you hate for a year.
BTW, I bought the Backflip last Sunday and I LOVE it!
they also have them at radioshack.com w/ no activation fee and you can get two for free..
I got the backfilp and I dropped it in kooliade the next freakin week I was lik o-m-gee
