T-Mobile’s “Last Chance Sale” Set For December 17th-18th

Screen Shot 2011-12-12 at 3.46.30 PM

We’ve managed to uncover at least some of the major details for T-Mobile’s upcoming “Last Chance weekend” sale being held on December 17th and 18th. Once again, T-Mobile is pushing the Value Plan offer hard by offering up $0 down payments for every smartphone after rebate. The Equipment Installment Plans will range anywhere from $3 to $20 per month depending on the device you select. The offer is good for both new and existing customers, so long as you’re on a Value Plan or migrate onto one. Data requirements range from 200MB for voice first devices, 2GB for smartphones and 5GB for “super 4G” phones such as the Galaxy S II and HTC Amaze 4G we suspect.

So far that’s all we’ve been able to uncover as this deal looks suspiciously like the earlier Value Plan deal days T-Mobile has run.

We’ll post more details as they arrive!

    Usually the highest the monthly payment is on a high end phone is $15/mo.  Which WOULD be cheaper monthly than Classic plans, especially if you have multiple lines.  On sales days like these the monthly payment for the high end phone is $20/mo which would bring you monthly rate to be the same as the classic but you get the money for the down payment back.  So in essence when you normally have to choose between a discounted phone (classic) or discounted plan (value) on these sales days you are getting both.

    What do you mean by 24*(1-0.15)(80+50+30) – I get 24 months but what is the (1-0.15) and the 80+50+30? Can you explain each number?

    Well that’s great for you. For the rest of us who _don’t_ have a 15% employee discount on monthly payments, the Value plan costs less overall, especially with this sale, where no down payment means that even the $600 phones won’t cost more than $400 total ($20 EIP x 20 months).

    It was a $200 per line “Conversion” fee to the value plan. I would have to pay monthly for the phone on top of my new “value” rate plan and will NEVER get subsidized phone upgrades ever ever again. But! I save $20 per month, before the $20 for the phone. I like being able to have a phone subsidized if i need it. Granted, i usually pay full price but i do like having that option

    The Value plan only saves you money after two years when the phone is paid off. At that point you are paying for a cheaper plan without a phone payment. You could also save money by going to the value plan and using an old phone.

    With how fast they release new phones and how often the technology changes… I do think they should let you upgrade at full discount price after a year with a contact renewal. How about being required to sign a two year contract but also be aloud to get a new phone once a year if you wish. I have been happy with Tmobile this long so signing a contract wouldn’t be a big deal to me plus I could get the latest and greatest sooner without having to wait as long only to find out that phone you wanted is discontinued.

    The Classic plans are a tax on people who failed 3rd grade arithmetic…

    I forgot to mention that one of the reasons the skewing of the benefit towards a classic plan is pronounced because I get 15% employer discount from T-mobile. Now the discount is not on purchases but monthly payment. So in a classic plan, T-mobile is indirectly giving me 15% discount on the phone but not for the value plan because of upfront payment of cost of the phone.

    Wow, you sure didn’t let them fool you! It’s utterly preposterous that they would expect hard-working Americans to spend $600 of their hard-earned dough (probably something like $200 down plus $20/month for 20 months) when they could be getting the same thing for $709+ instead ($229 down plus $20/month for 24 months, plus $20/mo extra for however long you stay off contact). Who do they think they’re fooling???
