need some cell phones

[lairoslimpb619]

Does anyone know where i can get either a motorolla v710, or razr phone for a nice price? I find them for about $50.00 after rebate which is really good, but the rebates don't apply for family plans. I wouldn't mind paying $50.00- $75.00 for each phone, and have the phones run on a family plan. I'd also need the rebates to work for five phones.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me out.

I'd definitely recommend getting Cingular service, in my opinion it's superior to Verizon. I can tell you that at third party resellers like Amazon etc., it's hard to get family plans. You can order all the phones individually, and then call Cingular to have them all merged onto a family plan. That's how Amazon advises to do it.

If you're interested in Cingular service, you might want to act quickly because on June 1, Cingular is changing their plans and they're not going to be as good as what's available now.

i cant get a v710 with cingular in my area but i could get a razr phone. however, in amazon they do have it for $50.00 but that is only with individual plans, and if i do buy all the phones seperately and "have them all merged onto a family plan" then they would be much more expensive because id have to buy them without service. right?
well that's what i understood from them, because i think that's what they meant by what they said in their rebate info.

No, I think you can buy from Amazon on individual plans, and then instantly call Cingular and have them merge them into one and still qualify for all the rebates, it might be a pain but that's your option without paying $200 for the phones direct from Cingular.

Call Amazon and I think they'll tell you the same.

Right, the V710 is a Verizon phone, the RAZR is for Cingular.
