Today only, Virgin Mobile is offering the Android-powered Samsung Intercept for $174.99, including shipping.
As an added bonus, they are also offering the the Samsung M340 for free with a purchase of $29.99 in airtime. You can combine these two deals:
1) Buy both phones.
2) Activate the Samsung M340 and redeem the free airtime.
3) Call customer service, convert the M340 to the Beyond Talk plan. The $29.99 airtime will then go against the Beyond Talk plan (which starts at $25/month).
4) Activate the Samsung Intercept on the M340’s account.
The result is either a free month of service, or a free Samsung M340, depending on how you account for it.
just bought 2 at $175 each. had to pay tax, which was kind of a bummer, but free shipping is nice. I wonder if there is a finite stock of these available today?
Not worth it.
Know of a cheaper prepaid Android 3G phone, with or without unlimited data? We aren’t aware of one…
I saw this deal and bought the phone! Glad I stumbled on this article!
BOUGHT A INTERCEPT BACK IN EARLY DECMBER ON SALE FROM RADIO SHACK FOR $174.95. UP TILL THEN A HIGH TECH CELL PHONE FOR ME WAS A THE EARLY RAZR. BOY WAS I IN FOR A SURPRISE. CANT BEAT IT FOR THE PRICE. IN FACT I KNOW A FEW PEOPLE WITH I PHONES AND AFTER PLAYING WITH MINE FOR A WHILE THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY ESPECIALLY AFTER I TOLD THE IT IS A NO CONTRACT PREPY FOR UNLIMITED. A WORD OF ADVICE. WHEN SETTING UP THE PHONE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OR YOU WILL HAVE TO RESET IT AN AND START AGAIN. IF I HAD TO DO IT OVER I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DO IT AGAIN
