One X on RadioShack.com for $$49!!!

[Droid Husker]

EDIT - and yes, I got a free car charger too. Whats weird is, it shows up on the order, but I never saw it listed when i was purchasing the device. I received the confirmation email, and saw the extra item listed. It's a nice little surprise.

It was the same for me, I didn't see anything about the car charger listed while making the order, had actually kinda forgot about people saying that. When I went to my order page in my Amazon account to check my order number, I saw it listed there.

Not 100% sure, but I think they say this because the phone isnt really "in stock" for you to order. It said the same thing for me, but the rep confirmed that it will ship out on Monday and be here Wednesday.

I just ordered mine for 49.99 on the radio shack site. I can't believe I was able to score the ONE X for that cheap. I had a 50 dollar Visa gift card that I used. SWEEET!

Looks like I can't get it either way. No lines are eligible for upgrade, and I can't get Radio Shack website to say 49.99 no matter what I do lol.

I doubt that Amazon will just give it to me for that if I call and say they have it for $50.

Just called Amazon and got the price matched, it turns out that you don't even have to call anymore if you haven't ordered yet. They matched the upgrade price on their website already. All new pre-orders for upgrades will be the 49.99

Thanks for the heads up, just saved me 100 bucks. Now I'm definitely not concerned with the S3, I'll just enjoy my $50 dollar phone

I can't get it either since I do not have a Family plan with a primary line, though my ONLY phone is with AT&T which sucks. What I don't understand is why an individual account doesn't qualify since you're only buying ONE phone rather than several. AT&T says Radio Shack and other retailers buy their phones direct from the manufacturer and often get better deals.

Thanks for posting this deal, but obviously some of us are not going to be able to take advantage. The GOOD news is that it may become available for individual accounts, but will have to wait and see!

P.S. I just called Amazon and they say you have to buy the phone through them first and once they research it, they will credit you the difference. Since I don't have a family plan it would appear that buying the phone through them at $150 isn't going to get the discount. They would not tell me in advance if they will price match.

Damn, $49.99 for the gray color only

Amazon gave me the $49.99 price for the grey one. I am the primary line on a family account.

 

[jontalk]

Weird.. Can't get the original Radio Shack page to open nor have I been able for hours.. Anyone else having this problem? Maybe its a Chrome issue though it worked earlier today

 

[jontalk]

Just called Radio Shack and they say the promotion is over..

I just finished ordering one through them about 30 minutes ago. It looks like Amazon is still good to go. I pre-ordered one in store on sunday and they make you buy a $50 gift-card as down payment. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to use that to pay for the order through their wireless department.

 

[jmonte345]

Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered from Amazon for $50.

 

[jdot104]

What?! I've just checked Amazon and the pre-order is still up for $49. If it's still up tomorrow I'll probably cancel my existing one and take one of these! A whole $100 to save is a huge incentive.

You have to upgrade with a family plan to get it for $49 I pre ordered mine today from radio shack

 

[AndroidForMe]

Any way to keep your current Family Plan rate (voice and data) while upgrading through Radio Shack online? Or can you call it in?

 

[garrim85]

Wow, just saw this thread. Just checked on the Amazon Wireless site, still advertised as $149. I am guessing they either aren't doing the $49 any more or you have to call them... Also, though, I added one, selected the right options (family pan, upgrade, etc.) and then it asks me to select Service Options. 2 of them concern me, the messaging and the "AT&T 4G Data Service Options." I don't want anything changed on my family plan whatsoever, but there is no decline option for either of those. I'm just weary of going through them because of this. I suppose if I call them and tell them I don't want anything changed they can oblige?

I got att to price match to 49.99 for two lines on my account

Don't do what I did. I ordered an upgrade on April 22nd because the ATT rep said they were already shipping....

This is what happened when I tried to upgrade my phone with ATT Wireless.

Call 1 (Apr 22): I call to upgrade to the new HTC One X. They offer me a discounted price of $179.

Me: ?Do you have it in stock right now??

ATT: ?Yep, you?ll have it by Tuesday Apr 25.?



I check the order status and it?s (1) ordered for the wrong line on my family plan and (2) backordered.

Call 2: I call to find out why I WON?T have it by Tuesday, and to fix the wrong line.

ATT: ?It?s not even in our warehouse yet. We have no idea when we?ll be shipping it.?

Me: ?I?d like to cancel the upgrade then.?

ATT: ?No, it?s too late too cancel.?

Me: ?How the heck can it be ?too late?? You didn?t ship it yet. You don?t even have it?!?

Somehow it gets canceled.



Call 2 (Apr 29): A week later I check again.

Me: ?Do you have the HTC One X in the warehouse, ready to ship??

ATT: ?Yep, you?ll have it in a few days.?

I place an upgrade order. Sure enough it shows up on the order status as ?Back-Ordered.?



Call 3:

Me: ?I thought you had the phones in stock??

ATT: ?Don?t worry, it actually shipped already. It just didn?t update in the computer.?

A few days later it?s still on back order.

(By this time, the HTC One X isn?t so new anymore, and Amazon, Target, and Radio Shack are taking pre-orders for $49 for family plan upgrades. My $179 offer isn?t so generous anymore.)



Call 4: (May 1)

Me: ?What?s going on with my phone??

ATT: ?We don?t have it, we don?t know when we?ll have it, and when we do we don?t know when ewe?ll ship it.?

Me: ?OK, let?s cancel the whole thing.?

ATT: ?How about if we send you the Galaxy Note for $179??

Me: ?OK.?

Later I get a voicemail message.

ATT: ?Sorry, we couldn?t actually make good on the offer we made. The previous order can?t be cancelled so we can?t sell you the Galaxy Note and we can?t cancel the back-ordered HTC One X. Too bad.?



Call 5:

Me: ?Do you see where it says on the notes to my account that the rep checked the stock in the warehouse and stated the he had the HTC One X ready to ship??

ATT: ?Yes, I see it. I can?t believe it! There?s no way it was in stock. What was the rep thinking!??

Me: ?So this mistaken back-order mess is ATT?s fault, right.?

ATT: ?Yes, I?m really sorry.?

Me: ?Can you please cancel the order.?

?

ATT: ?No, even though it?s our fault, and even though we don?t even have the device we sold you, you can?t cancel the order.?

Me: ?That isn?t right.?

ATT: ?I agree with you, but my manager said it?s against our policy. There?s nothing I can do.?
