    How many can I buy?

  2. Jeff

    Can this phone be used with my AT&T account if I just swap the SIM card?

  3. Jeff

    Duh… I see I can order 3 in 3 different order–nevermind.

  4. sandip

    Can this be unlocked, so that I can use with my t-moibile service ?

  5. Jeff

    Ok. I bought 2 on 2 different orders. Hope this works out.

    Is this dead? The link doesn’t work.

  9. Paul

    Went straight to the AT&T site and ordered OK. It’s just the link (above) that isn’t working.

    We’ll have an update shortly. Rest assured… I had the entire team get up at 5:30 AM to take care of this… we’ve been hard at work on it for almost seven hours straight (and counting).

  13. t

    ok, great. well, since you’ve ‘teamed’ up with at&t, will we still be able to get this phone for $15 after cashback still? as i said, the at&t site has changed the price to $39.99..hopefully yes!

  14. Christopher Price

    Hi folks, I do have an update… unfortunately it’s not what you were hoping for.

    AT&T did not return any of our calls, even ones they promised to. The entire team is really depressed right now that AT&T is choosing to not work with us, as they agreed to in our contract.

    We will continue to try and communicate with AT&T to resolve this outage. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we can only point to AT&T as the cause of the problem at this time.

    My wife is a systems analyst manager and these people(at AT&T) are working 12-16hrs a day as SBC is too cheap to hire more people.

  16. Jeff

    She has been working up to 20 hrs a day on Salary………………….No BS. It’s sad, she is getting literally sick from lack of sleep etc. and I haven’t gotten any for weeks. :>()

  17. Jeff

    IT’S SBC, they bought the AT&T name, that’s all.

  18. Jeff

    Uh… so will you honor the cashback for those of us that already ordered before the snafu?
