Question: Hi. Trying to decide between the BB Curve 8300 and The BB Bold 9000. I can see and try the Curve at the Verizon store nearby. Where can I see the Bold? I really would like to look at it, try it, see if it is something I am comfortable with using before purchasing it. Can I run the plan thru Verizon (current cell carrier) or do I have to use AT&T? What is the return policy? I look forward to hearing from you. Best-

Answer: You may see the BlackBerry Bold at any AT&T store. Yes, you do have to have AT&T service to use the BlackBerry Bold. They are both great phones! I don't think you would be dissatisfied with either but do believe you are making the right moves by comparing them first. Also, you will want to compare the Verizon service versus the AT&T service and decide which fits your needs the best. As far as our return policy, I believe you will find it very customer friendly. You may read it at the following link: http://www.lowcostcells.com/return-policy.html.

Question: I have been an existing customer for many years now and my family contract is now expired. I am willing to provide an 2 year extension if I can receive the Blackberry Bold an the AT&T asking price of $249.99 along with an $100.00 rebate for a total cost of $149.99. If you can provide me with the Bold as stated above please call me at or better yet, send me the Bold (Black Color). Again, I will extend my contract for 2 years based on the same plan that I currently have. Thank you,

Answer: We are unable to see your account as we are simply a sales arm for our many cell phone carriers. How our system works is that you submit your order to us and we forward it onto the specific carriers (in this case AT&T). The carrier then reviews your information and passes back their response to us (approved, denied, please provide customer ________, etc.). Once approved, we then ship your phone to you and inform AT&T of the renewal. If more information is needed from AT&T, we will contact you right away via the e-mail address you submit on your order.

AT&T offers contract extension customers, via lowcostcells.com, the BlackBerry Bold at $199.99 per phone after rebate. This is pretty common of carriers for new, hot phones on the market. They are often a little higher for renewing customer rather than to new customers.

Please go to the following link: http://www.lowcostcells.com/att_blackberry-bold-black-12558.html. Next to the picture of the BlackBerry Bold, you will see an underlined phrase that says "Buy with a plan upgrade (you must.... carrier)". Click there. This will take you to a new window where you will see the phone, a suggested plan, and a green arrow to be click to add the phone and plan to your cart. Please note that you can change that plan to the call plan that fits your needs the best. To do so "click in the plan box where it says "More AT&T Plans". When everything is to your liking, please add the phone to your cart and proceed through the check out. If you ever need any assistance or just want to order by phone please call 1-888-843-2380 (call code 109653 when prompted).

Answer: We won't be able to answer this question for you as you are marginal on your time frame to again be a "new" customer. If you are set on changing phones / carriers, you could sign up for the Bold & AT&T on our site. Then wait to see if you are accepted or not. If you are accepted, go ahead and cancel your Verizon service, but don't cancel that service until you know that you are indeed getting the Bold.

Question: I have an existing att account. I am due for an upgrade in feb. how can I go about purchasing a bold now?

Answer: With an extension this phone is $199.99. If you purchase it today, this phone is going to be $599.99. Are you sure your don't want to just wait a month? Typically phones only decrease in cost as time progresses too. There is a chance that this phone will be less in February. And though I can't guarantee it, I wouldn't guess it to go up any by then either.

Question: I am currently a AT & T customer, I like to buy the Black berry Bold, how much it cost me?

Answer: Do you know if your cell phone contract has expired and you are eligible to renew / upgrade your existing plan? Only eligible plans can be upgraded with a new cell phone. The only one that can tell you if you are eligible for an upgrade is your cell phone plan carrier. We are not privy to that information as there is personal information involved. We can simply only enter sign-up and upgrade information for customers. You should be able to find your carrier's customer service number on your latest monthly bill. If you are available for an upgrade, you should have no problem doing this through lowcostcells.com. Search our site for the phone that suits you best. When you find that phone, make sure you are in the "phone details" screen where it shows that phone only with all of its technical specs. Once there, simply click next to the phone picture where it says "Buy with a phone upgrade". This will take you to a new window where you will see your upgrade phone price. The following screens will help you to complete your selection. If you are not eligible for an upgrade, the phone will be $599.99.

Question: I have AT&T now and it is not time to resign contract on my number yet. How much would this phone cost me? My wife is ready for a new contract as is my son, all part of my family plan. Would it be cheaper to go through them or just buy it.

Answer: To answer your first question, to buy the Blackberry Bold without a cellular contract / renewal would be $599.99. Now as far as renewing the other two lines on your account, I think this would be easiest if done through our customer service representatives via our toll free number. The number is 1-888-843-2380. When prompted, please enter call code 126109. Before you call in though, please have an idea as to which phones you are looking at for your son and wife. Renewal prices are always a great deal, sometimes as good as being a new customer. The customer service agents will be able to get your account renewals squared away.

Question: is this black berry like a computer can i down load music to A mp3 player or down load picture pictures from phone

Answer: The BlackBerry Bold is a smartphone (PDA phone). It functions much like a mini computer. I would tell you that it could not replace a computer though in its ability. It does connect to the internet and e-mail servers. As far as MP3's, yes, it does have a built in media player. Combined with the internet, you will be able to download songs and play them on your phone.

Question: My plan is presently with centeninel what do I do?

Answer: The first thing I would do would be to call Centeninel and see how long your contract period is for or if you are out of contract already. If you are not out of contract, I would finish it out first with them to avoid penalty. If you are out of contract, all you need to do is find a phone and carrier of choice that work with your zip code (geographic area) and order them via our site. Finally, do not end your service with Centeninel until you have physically received your phone from us.
