Cricket USB Modem for $34?

[Leeloo]

:bulging:

I got a txt msg about the USB modem for only $34 special. Anyone know what's the catch?

prolly gotta pay activation and first month... everyone got that text im sure

 

[Cherrell]

Probably after mail in rebate and of course theres taxes n activation, havent heard about that in my market though

its 84 before act and taxes and proration if it apply's and also m-i-r when you add to an existing account, so its an additional 25 instant rebate after the 71 instant rebate.

the device's MSRP is 180, but you get an instant savings which brings it down to 109...until jan 4th, if you activate a phone (CPE or new) at the same time you purchase the device you save an extra 25 (which brings it to 84). With the mail in rebate you get 50 back...taadaa 34 big ones

180 MSRP
109 After instant savings
84 When activated with a phone
34 After mail in rebate


**There's still a 25 dollar activation fee regardless
**First month is free if you purchase the device new in store
**Taxes are not included and reg fee still neeRAB to be paid w/ or w/o first free month

thanks for the info. i walked into a corp store (in the el paso market, which explains alot) with the text message, and they just gave me blank looks.

the $25 additional instant rebate is now available when added to an existing account. it no longer requires that the phone to be purchased and activated at the same time. this may vary by market but if you recieved the sms blast it should be available to you.

edit: this promotion enRAB deceraber 25th

In my Market, they are $84 regardless, and today and tommorrow we are offering an extra $20 off.
