Figured I'd start this thread up. I understand its probably easier to do a VGC Diy and just pay for the phone yourself, but I'd like to see what options we have.

Please post any links

How'd you get 2 year contract?
It says in the product description

-Service plan not included

Armstrong

dang that was quick. no service plan though. and im seeing 3-2-6

So that would mean it is the unlocked version

just signed up, it's 2-2-4 for me as well

I don't think I'll end up doing the site until around April or May anyways...just wanted to lock it in ;)

I'm guessing this is a GSM phone, not CDMA?

madmanx33

09-01-2007 16:07:25

whats up with nuitech now they seem to make there last page all credit cards

beammeup4

09-01-2007 16:25:18

it's a Cingular exclusive, so it's GSM.

I'm gonna complete all but one offer, leaving the last one until June when the iPhone ships. If I end up getting $600 because NT doesn't get the iPhones in stock, then I'll just use the $600 to buy one myself (or another smartphone if the iPhone ends up tanking)

bruman

09-01-2007 18:49:21

I know the TOS says 2-2-4, but when you sign up and actually look at the offers, it says 3-2-6. At least it did for me.

so this phone can never work on Sprint?

emoneymaker2006

11-01-2007 20:05:06

Cingular requires a SIM card or SmartChip.

seeing that Sprint doesn't use this feature - then I doubt it will work.

It will work on a T-Mobile though - if it is unlocked.

madmanx33

11-01-2007 20:49:11

I hope they actually send the phone out since itll be worth wayyyy more than 600

Found two more

I-deal has one for 6+1 but it doesn't specify which model so I'm assuming it's the 4 GB one and you would get a check for $500. Nuitech looks like a better deal.

http//www.techycooltunes.com/

ConsumerPromotionsGroup has one too...I've never done any of their sites so I have no idea if they have ODD's.

http//www.consumerpromotionsgroup.com/iphone/

These are just the ones hitting my spam box. There will probably be a bunch more coming out in the next few months.

madmanx33

I just found out that the iphone will not be sold without a 2 year contract. thus nuitech has no way of getting the phones so im guessing its going to be a check folks

You're right, it's 6 offers. YTB is a Brandarama site so no referrals are necessary. Once your offers show as complete, your status page will change to "qualified." Just give them a call and they will email you the forms to fill out and send in. They do take about 3 months to send out your gift though.

You guys do realize that any iPhone site you do you're NOT going to get the phone? The iPhone is there just to reel you in. You'll get a cash alternative for sure.

beammeup4

19-01-2007 20:56:43

you're probably right. I went ahead and started it anyway and will complete my final offer in June when it starts shipping. If I get a $600 check instead, I won't cry about it.

Armstrong

18-03-2007 17:45:07

as we get closer to the release starting to re-consider one of these. Is it reasonable to get $600 for 11 offers on nuitech? I just did the $2000 for 18, but page three is much more managlable with 6 required rather than 9.
