Default Does TMobile offer buyback options?

Like the title says. Or any other options for that matter. I need to get rid of my Flip before I throw this POS out the window.

I'm looking to trade up but with a nominal additional cost on my end.

Thanks.

I know they used to offer it. I am not quite sure now though. You could check their web site or call a rep and see what kind of deal they can throw your way.

Sounds like the best for you to do is to donate it to one of the organizations that reprograms phones for 911 emergency service for use by persons with special needs. They may give you a donation receipt for tax purposes.

Your best best is to sell it on eBay. You'll generally get more money for it than any phone buying program will offer.

I actually just asked about this a couple days ago and they did. Thing is, the phone has to be post marked by March 1st and received by the 14th I think he said.
You can call and get some more info about it and see if they'll still accept your phone, but who knows. Its under the program called "Recycle Rebates."

They by back Blackberries or pretty much anything as long as it works for a minimum of $50.
They quoted me $100 for my Curve.

Yes, they're all viable options. If I get the chance maybe I'll stop by a
T-Mobile and see if a rep has more leeway than the site leads on to.

Thnx to Opera and some tweaks maybe I can tolerate this thing and learn to like it at least for the time being.

There are some exciting products due out later this year so perhaps I'll hold out til then and see what happens.
