Just curious if i were to order from wire fly. Would i activate the phone inside a metro pcs store? And what would become of my current phone that i have with them?
-Thanks
Your current SIM would be de-activated and they would charge you $15.00 to activate your new Spirit phone same as if you bought it from them.
The good news is that if you lose, break or damage your Spirit, you can have them re-activate your old phone, so it might be worth hanging on to, especially with the price of the Motion so low now, as it has little re-sale value.
I would rather keep it for "back-up" then to sell if for $40.00 or whatever market value currently is for a used LG Motion.
I'm going to wait and see what the wirefly price is as well as I'm in California and would have to pay about 9% sales tax on $270.00, plus $15.00 activation fee, so I'm looking at about $313.00 OTD, then a 6 week wait for a $70.00 rebate in the form of a Visa gift card, so I'm looking at about $243.00 after rebate.
Also the rebate expires on March 3rd, so I'm wondering if the price will drop to $199.00 or stay at $269.00 an no rebate?
The Sammy S-4 is due to hit the market in April, so I'm wondering if we will see wirefly deeply discount the S-3 to $300.00 like they did a while back.
If so, I'll spend the extra coin on the S-3 even though I love the LG Motion and would really like it even better with another inch of screen with better screen resolution, but can't really justify spending $300.00+ on it.
If it had an 8MP camera, and 2GB of RAM, I would buy the Spirit today, or if it were priced at $199.00 + tax + activation. (About $233.00, but no wait for a rebate.)
If I didn't pay full price for my LG Motion, I wouldn't mind dropping 3 bills for the Spirit, but I just spent $150.00 + tax + activation for the Motion 3 months ago and it's now worth less than a 1/3rd of that.
