Sprint offering $100 service credit to new Pre customers porting from another carrier [UPDATED]
Have you been watching all the Palm Pre coverage in recent months with jealousy, just waiting for the right time to strike? Well boys and girls, that time may be now. From now until October 10th, Sprint has effectively knocked $100 off the price of a shiny new Palm Pre for customers coming over from another carrier. Here’s how it works: Purchase a Palm Pre on a 2-year contract before October 10th and port a number in from your old carrier. That’s it. Within your first three months of service, Sprint will issue a $100 service credit to your account. Call it a welcome present, call it an attempt to boost sales or call it whatever else you want — the bottom line is that you can now effectively score a new Pre for $99 after MIR and a service credit. Any takers?
UPDATE: Consider us amazed. As quickly as Sprint’s offer appeared, it’s now off the table. Sprint’s official comment: “After further internal review today, the offer of a port-in service credit of $100 to new customers who buy the Palm Pre has been pulled, because it was put into the system in error.” Umm, ok. Sprint says it will honor the promo for anyone who managed to snag a Pre during the brief period of time before the promo was pulled.
Thanks, E!
Nice job Sprint. LoL. Calling Sprint a Mickey Mouse orginization is an insult to Disney.
*realizing it’s now a mistake*
Way to fail, Sprint.
Btw, I am digging the mobile site revamp BGR
No official mention of the new mobile layout on BGR? Wierded me out; I thought I had screwed up my phone (again). Where’s the BGR logo?
Palm: Marx
Sprint: Marx
Together with the Pre: Marx Brothers
They must be rolling on the floor LAO in Cupertino…
no strike that. They stopped paying attention to the pre back in June, just like most people.
What the heck. I was ready to get one! Not now. Stupid move Sprint.
I’m really disappointed they didn’t keep this going, maybe they’re waiting on the rest of the lineup to make this port credit available for the Hero, TP2, Pre Instinct HD and Instinct Q. That’s too much to ask for
Sprint could f-up a wet dream!
LOL @ Sprint! Only you guys can mess something up so bad.
fuck this
