DEAD: t-mobile Value Plan zero down after rebate, S3 $400 spread over 20 months, NEW value line w/2 yr contract

Quote from green_key : Starts Sept 21, 2012 till mid oct. T-mobile will have value plan promo, zero down after rebate, followed by $x monthly for 20 months. For NEW value line only, 2 year contract. Example, S3 is $400 with $20 monthly for 20 months, other phones will have different monthly pricing for 20 months. This maybe a better way to get S3 because you can spread $400 over 20 months, and remove complication of migration fees from classic to value plan. Sample Value Plan: 5 lines for $80: (2 unlimited talk/text) + (3 lines unlimited text, 500 minutes each) << add $10 for 2GB, $20 for un-throttle data, $25 for 5GB, $25 for unlimited voice 5 lines for $100: (2 unlimited talk/text/data with 2GB at 4G) + (3 lines unlimited text, 500 minutes each) More Value Plan Info: http://slickdeals.net/f/4793292-t...-t-mobile?

should be both online and stores. I would highly recommend going to t-mobile store. Ask for free activation. Also double check your plans and features a few weeks later to make sure that there is no human error. Note that it starts on Sept 21st. 2012.

You're awesome....man. T-mobile company should pay you !!!!

I am in for 2 galaxy phones especially for this offer.

Any idea on other galaxy phones.....? like S2 and other family members.

Let me try to understand....
So you can essentially finance/buy a S3 $400 dollars over 20 months ($20x20months)
and get the value plan as shown on the link?

Am I missing something? S3's were on sale for $99 last week, so this charges me $300 more to spread payments?!?

How much the Migration fee will be?

Value plan does not has subsidize phone.

S3 is 99.99 once again tonight.

I'm not sold on the value plans. I don't get why there's an ETF when you're in theory paying for the price of the phone in full. Or let's just say I bring my own phone. Why tack on an ETF.

This promo should be good starting Sept 21 on any t-mobile stores or website. Stores will give free activation if asked, website varies w/time.

This promo is specially for value plan. Pricing on value plan is very attractive especially for big family. The "normal" pricing for S3 b4 promo is $600 (ie $200 down, and $20monthly for 20 months). t-mobile website sometimes offer $99 S3 for CLASSIC plan + activation fees ($35). You will need to pay $200 to migrate to value plan. So, you will need to catch exact timing for website specials.

no etf if you bring your own phone.
update: I meant no etf going into value plan from classic plan if you are eligible (6 months left on classic). There will be etf to break any t-mobile contract, $200, which is lower than most other service provider.

Quote from green_key : no etf if you bring your own phone.

Yes there is. When you start up a new line on the value plan, you've signed up to a 2 year agreement.

I have been with t-mo for a long time and my contract has expired a few months ago. Does this promotion work for existing customer out of contract or strictly for new customers only? TIA,
