Questions Asked Regarding This Offer
Date: 6/11/2009 11:38:00 AM Question: I have been looking to upgrade my phone but I still have some months left on my Alltel contract. I was advised that within four months of the end of the contract that I could upgrade without penalty; Does this hold consistent with Verizon as well? Answer: It really depends. The Verizon/Alltel integration is going slowly at with different zones coming on all the time. I would tell you, as a rule of thumb, that if you have not heard the your Alltel service is not Verizon now, you are not able to upgrade to Verizon service yet. You should shortly though. I would guess that things would be fully intergraded by year end.

Date: 1/21/2009 10:20:00 PM Question: I am considering purchasing the blackberry storm. Can I get the same price ($149.99) if I purchased it at a Verizon store? Answer: As we are an on-line only retailer for Verizon, I really don't know what the local stores are selling this phone for. Traditionally we are lower priced, often times dramatically, than what you find at your local retailer. I encourage you to compare and hopefully save by purchasing through our site.

Answer: This phone can be purchased without a plan. However it is locked to the Verizon network. It also does carry a sim card with it but will only work with other Verizon sim cards. Basically, to use this phone abroad, you will face Verizon roaming charges during its use or purchase a Verizon call plan abroad (where available) with a sim card. You then can just switch the sim cards depending on the country you are in.

Answer: All our phones are brand new and are covered by the warranties of each individual manufacturer. These warranties will be valid regardless of where you would purchase your phone. As far as an activation fee, yes..normally. HOWEVER, today activation is being waived by Verizon (a $35 savings) on the BlackBerry Storm! That is a great deal!
Date: 12/21/2008 8:34:00 PM Question: My two years is up and I was just sent a discount for $100.00 can I also use this as well? This is all new to me w/ a Blackberry and there are two plans I'm looking at Nationwide Connect w/ Unlimited Minutes, Messaging & Data - $129.99 (or) Nationwide Premium - Unlimited Minutes, Messaging & V CAST - $139.99 Both say Unlimited is this for very thing on that line. What is Data....? What is V Cast .....? I have 1 more phone that I want to share the Mins. with and What will that cost extra I have the phone and it is a razor or do I get a free phone to up date that as well? Last Question: What if I need help with the Storm or something breaks, will not work... Who do I talk to, call etc. Look forward to talking to someone about get The Storm... Thanks, Jeff Answer: Hello! I am going to ask you a few questions, and how you answer these questions is going to depend on how I answer your questions. Following the questions, I will answer the V-Cast vs Data Plan segment. Are you a current Verizon customer? Is your Razr under contract with Verizon? Is it eligible for a contract extension? What plan are you on currently? For a BlackBerry, you will need a data plan. More or less, this is Verizon's way of terming the plans they have for "smartphones" like Blackberry's. V-Cast plans are internet / e-mail plans for regular cell phones like your Razr. Does that make sense? Now, if you want to share minutes with another phone, all shared phones will have to be on a family plan. They will share the minutes, but the data plan will be purchased / linked to the specific smartphone. If your Razr phone is on a Verizon plan already, then your new BlackBerry Storm would be an additional line. Finally, your discount for $100, I am not sure if you would be able to use this or not. Is it a coupon for use on Verizon's site only? Does it tell you where you can / should redeem your coupon at? The more I go through this, the more I think it may be easier on you to call into our customer service lines and speak to our sales professionals if that is of interest for you. Otherwise, there is a good chance there will be a good share of e-mail tag. The number is 1-888-843-2380. Press "1" at the first prompt and enter call code "140407" at the second prompt.
Date: 12/20/2008 8:42:00 PM Question: my verison contract is not up yet and i can not get their discounted price can I still get yours Answer: As Verizon dictates our system of renewals for their network we must follow the same rules as they do. We will not be able to help you today. Please keep us in mind when you are eligible for a plan upgrade as our low phone prices usually beat anything that Verizon offers directly!
Date: 12/20/2008 4:11:00 PM Question: CAN I GET THE PHONE EVEN IF I ALREADY HAVE A VERIZON PLAN Answer: Yes, you can get this phone in one of two ways. If you are eligible for a plan upgrade / extension, you can upgrade / extend your plan and get this phone for $289.99. If you are not eligible for a plan extension then you could buy this phone at outright and have it activated for your account. The retail price would be $589.99.
Date: 12/19/2008 2:32:00 AM Question: could you compaire the blackberry touch and iphone for me?.. thanks Answer: I did a little searching of the web to help me answer this for you.

Thank you for shopping lowcostcells.com! Let me know if you have anyfurther questions. http://technologizer.com/2008/10/07/blackberry-storm-vs-iphone/
Date: 12/17/2008 1:04:00 PM Question: We live in Lubbock, Texas my son a college student wants to get a blackberry storm. Does verizon have service in our area or when will it be available? Answer: It does not appear as though Lubbock, Texas is a service area for Verizon Wireless at this time. However, it does appear as though every other carrier we supply is available in the Lubbock area. At this time, the BlackBerry Storm is only available on the Verizon Network. I will tell you that LG & Samsung have some pretty cool touchscreen phones out right now on the AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile networks. I encourage your son to look through these phones and see if he finds one to his liking. Also, to answer your question on when Verizon will be coming to your area, they are in talks to purchase Alltel (possibly before year end). If this happens, I would guess that the Verizon network will work along side Alltel and the Storm may be available at that time. The only hard thing to tell is how long this will take to fully integrate.
Date: 12/15/2008 1:22:00 PM Question: Can I buy the blackberry storm 9530 and use my cingular SIM card? Answer: This phone is programmed specifically for the Verizon network and will not work with Cingular. Only unlocked phones can be switched between networks.

Date: 12/11/2008 5:26:00 PM Question: ok i am already on a contract i do not have to get a new two year contract to order this phone do i Answer: Yes, you will either need to upgrade / renew your existing plan or sign a contract as a new customer. If you are not eligible to do either of these, buying this phone at full retail is your only option.
Date: 12/10/2008 3:30:00 PM Question: I want to buy this phone for someone who is a current T-moble customer for their birthday how can I set that up. Answer: The BlackBerry Storm right now is only programmed to work on the Verizon network. Your friend will have to switch networks (which they can keep their same phone number) to have this phone. Do you know if their contract is up or about up with T-Mobile? Would that be of interest to them?
Date: 12/5/2008 7:00:00 PM Question: I have tmobile service is this phone able to be turned over to tmobile? And is this the blackberry that is touch screen? Answer: This is the new BlackBerry touch screen phone that fresh on to the market and is selling very well. Unfortunately, this phone is only programmed to work on the Verizon network. Are you at the end of your contract with T-Mobile? If so, you can transport your number with you and switch to the Verizon network to get this phone.

Question: I have been looking to upgrade my phone but I still have some months left on my Alltel contract. I was advised that within four months of the end of the contract that I could upgrade without penalty; Does this hold consistent with Verizon as well?

Answer: It really depends. The Verizon/Alltel integration is going slowly at with different zones coming on all the time. I would tell you, as a rule of thumb, that if you have not heard the your Alltel service is not Verizon now, you are not able to upgrade to Verizon service yet. You should shortly though. I would guess that things would be fully intergraded by year end.

Question: My two years is up and I was just sent a discount for $100.00 can I also use this as well? This is all new to me w/ a Blackberry and there are two plans I'm looking at *Nationwide Connect w/ Unlimited Minutes, Messaging & Data - $129.99 (or) *Nationwide Premium - Unlimited Minutes, Messaging & V CAST - $139.99 Both say Unlimited is this for very thing on that line. *What is Data....? *What is V Cast .....? I have 1 more phone that I want to share the Mins. with and What will that cost extra I have the phone and it is a razor or do I get a free phone to up date that as well? Last Question: What if I need help with the Storm or something breaks, will not work... Who do I talk to, call etc. Look forward to talking to someone about get The Storm... Thanks, Jeff

Answer: Hello! I am going to ask you a few questions, and how you answer these questions is going to depend on how I answer your questions. Following the questions, I will answer the V-Cast vs Data Plan segment.

Are you a current Verizon customer?
Is your Razr under contract with Verizon?
Is it eligible for a contract extension?
What plan are you on currently?

For a BlackBerry, you will need a data plan. More or less, this is Verizon's way of terming the plans they have for "smartphones" like Blackberry's. V-Cast plans are internet / e-mail plans for regular cell phones like your Razr. Does that make sense?

Now, if you want to share minutes with another phone, all shared phones will have to be on a family plan. They will share the minutes, but the data plan will be purchased / linked to the specific smartphone. If your Razr phone is on a Verizon plan already, then your new BlackBerry Storm would be an additional line.

Finally, your discount for $100, I am not sure if you would be able to use this or not. Is it a coupon for use on Verizon's site only? Does it tell you where you can / should redeem your coupon at?

The more I go through this, the more I think it may be easier on you to call into our customer service lines and speak to our sales professionals if that is of interest for you. Otherwise, there is a good chance there will be a good share of e-mail tag. The number is 1-888-843-2380. Press "1" at the first prompt and enter call code "140407" at the second prompt.

Date: 12/20/2008 8:42:00 PM

Question: my verison contract is not up yet and i can not get their discounted price can I still get yours

Answer: As Verizon dictates our system of renewals for their network we must follow the same rules as they do. We will not be able to help you today. Please keep us in mind when you are eligible for a plan upgrade as our low phone prices usually beat anything that Verizon offers directly!

Date: 12/20/2008 4:11:00 PM

Question: CAN I GET THE PHONE EVEN IF I ALREADY HAVE A VERIZON PLAN

Answer: Yes, you can get this phone in one of two ways. If you are eligible for a plan upgrade / extension, you can upgrade / extend your plan and get this phone for $289.99. If you are not eligible for a plan extension then you could buy this phone at outright and have it activated for your account. The retail price would be $589.99.

Answer: It does not appear as though Lubbock, Texas is a service area for Verizon Wireless at this time. However, it does appear as though every other carrier we supply is available in the Lubbock area. At this time, the BlackBerry Storm is only available on the Verizon Network. I will tell you that LG & Samsung have some pretty cool touchscreen phones out right now on the AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile networks. I encourage your son to look through these phones and see if he finds one to his liking. Also, to answer your question on when Verizon will be coming to your area, they are in talks to purchase Alltel (possibly before year end). If this happens, I would guess that the Verizon network will work along side Alltel and the Storm may be available at that time. The only hard thing to tell is how long this will take to fully integrate.

Question: I want to buy this phone for someone who is a current T-moble customer for their birthday how can I set that up.

Answer: The BlackBerry Storm right now is only programmed to work on the Verizon network. Your friend will have to switch networks (which they can keep their same phone number) to have this phone. Do you know if their contract is up or about up with T-Mobile? Would that be of interest to them?

Answer: This is the new BlackBerry touch screen phone that fresh on to the market and is selling very well. Unfortunately, this phone is only programmed to work on the Verizon network.

Question: How can this phone be purchased (if it can) other than via the carrier (Verizon)? I have an account with Verizon already, but I have to wait until Dec. 2009 to "upgrade" my phone. Otherwise, I would have to pay $499.00. Can I purchase this phone and have it linked up to my current plan and number?

Answer: This cell phone without a new contract or contract extension is $599.99. When you find the BlackBerry Bold on our site, click the "order now" link next to the phone. This opens a new window. Inside that new window you will see right next to the phone picture "price without new account". There you will want to click "more info +". This opens a pull down section where you can click the green "buy phone only" link.

Question: CAN I GET THIS PHONE WITH THE FLEX TO FLEX PLAN OR CAN I GET A T-MOBILE PHONE WITH NO SSN

Answer: The BlackBerry Storm does is not part of the flex plan system. As far as your social security number, this is for the carriers use only. If you were to go into a brick and mortar T-Mobile store, you would have to supply this to them as well. Please trust that our site is 100% secure and that your ssn will only be used by T-Mobile for credit check purposes.
