This is a tip for everyone I'm wating for best buy to release the phone. I called but they don't have it yet. I was thinking getting it from metro but I don't like there insurance you have to pay a $50 dollar detectable :mad: and then the phone in. Best buy offers a black tie warranty for 3-4 years. If the phone goes bad they give you a new one. The warranty is about $20-30 dollars. I know this because I have the optimus and I went through 4 of them and I got all of them covered by best buy.:)

how much for a month would you be paying? and same stuff metro would have?
And would it still have metro's 4g but just from best buy?
 
your paying for a 4 year insurance and its about $30 dollars I'm pretty sure it covers everything. Yes its the same service 4g metro pcs.

Ok Vlad i have to ask is this 30's a one time feed and what covers? Also do you still get the 100 dollar rebate?
 
Don't quote me on this but I think the esteem at best buy is 299. Cuz the Samsung indulge has a 100 dollar rebate too and it usually goes for 299 but going for 249 at best buy. So I think its gonna be the same for the esteem. Me personally I would rather just get it from best buy 50 bucks cheaper then wait 12 weeks for the mail in rebate...
Also the best buy Rep said there truck comes in on Wednesday which is today but I dont know if they got it yet if anyone can confirm that would be awesome

before you go... Read the fine print on the MetroPCS rebate form on their website. If i read correctly when i was filling it out it says that if the phone was purchased from bestbuy or walmart you dont get the rebate....

i might have read through it fast so you might want to double check
 
I called them and placed the order for 249, over the phone this afternoon ,they only charged me for the phone no activation fee ,just mention that you are upgrading ,in my case i was switching from samsung admire,just few minutes ago they sent me ups tracking for lg esteem from their web site letstalk.com.hopefully I recive it in few days so I can tell you more about my shopping experience with them.

Awesome please keep us posted! Thanks
 
The reason on Letstalk, and Bestbuy that your seeing it for 249. Is that they are selling it at the 100.00 rebate price. Metro's price before rebate is 349.00 With Letstalk, and Bestbuy, they are already giving you the rebate price, so getting the Bestbuy warranty for another 30 or even 50 bucks is money well spent imo.
 
Well I just visited Lets Talk and the LG Esteem's price was $349 ($348.01) with no rebate mentioned. This didn't include a month's service. Called Best Buy (Paramus, NJ) earlier and they have no idea when they'll get the Esteem. I'd like to check the Best Buy extended warranty. Has anyone found a Best Buy anywhere that has gotten the Esteem in?

When I clicked on the link, it didn't show any price. So I typed in my ZIP code, and then it showed "Price Today: $349.99"

So I called the number for "help with ordering", and the guy stated $349.99 is the correct price!

I wondered what would happen if I started over and called a different rep; unfortunately, the next rep also stated the purchase price is $349.99! WTF?

I also contacted customer service by E-mail.I was going to buy 2 phones.
Still waiting on a response from customer service.If that's the price i might as well drive to a corp store and buy. I hate waiting for the rebate.

I guess letstalk doesn't want our business.
 
guys went to Best buy and nobody knew about it except the guard that said this guys wont get it until next month or 2 week if Metro sells then the phone directly
 
According to ups tracking my package left texas airport today,didnt even know letstalk was from texas,so hopefully I get it either tomorrow or thursday.l let you guys know when I recive it in one piece,right now im lookig for the buyer for my samsung admire.
