Losing.

All the Stores That Will Give You a Refund If a Price Drops Later

You see this online but I guarantee you this situation is different B&M. They're introducing new item numbers on the day of BF so that price matches cannot be made, but the clerk at returns can refund your money, and then you can ask to buy it again. Pretty lousy :|

Is the going rate to unlock these still around $40-$50 using an online service?

Yeah, I guess paying $9 for the plan would only net a return of $20.99 should the phone get trashed in the two year coverage period and no longer be available as a replacement. If I was paying the regular price of $60 it would make a bit more sense...

Ha! I was scrolling up to the top of this thread really fast and I thought I spotted an owl. Thank you, impeccable knowledge of Rush and Fly By Night.

People have been able to unlock them for free using the AT&T website, https://forums.windowscentral.com/e...tt.com%2Fdeviceunlock%2F%23%2F&token=Ve9s2h-5

Even though it says you need to use it 6 months its worked for folks anyway, I think what they did was never bothered to insert the sim and go straight to the unlock page.

Exactly. You don't have to pay to get the phone unlocked from AT&T. If you never insert the SIM, and you apply for the unlock as a "non-customer", as long as the phone has never been in service and as long as the phone shows as "paid for" and not "stolen" or on a "block list" of some sort, then they will get you an unlock code within 2-3 business days. I got my last unlock code in under 4 hours.

When is black friday? Interested if they will lower some other MS devices maybe as well...

Black Friday refers to the day after Thanksgiving. November 27th if my math is right. And Cyber Monday is... the Monday after Black Friday.

I'd recommend doing this even if the plans are to use it on AT&T. That way it's ready to go anywhere anytime, without fulfilling the 6 month waiting period.

Right again. I unlock every phone I put on my AT&T plan, before I put a SIM card in it. That way, should I decide to "sell" I can get more for it and have a larger audience. makes it easier to sell a phone to upgrade to another.

walmart does not price match on Black Friday. However, if the following day Best Buy is still running the add on their website, and have it listed as in stock, then WM should price match. Also, their replacement plan will only cover the dollar value + tax you paid for the device. If you file a claim, you will get $29.99 + tax on an e-gift card for your next purchase. you will probably pay $8 for the plan.

From their website - "Walmart.com will not price match items on Walmart.com or to other retailers between Thanksgiving and Cyber-Monday". An employee in the Electronics Dept of my local store said they would not price match during that same period.

Looks like I'll be trying to buy a couple from BestBuy.com starting at midnight Thanksgiving eve.
