You must be way out in the country or something, yes they are "pickup-able" just like you see in the first post, I got 2 stores a block down the street that sell them 7-11 and right-aid all within walking (bike riding) distance.

You know where I am ha - Canada does not have them but I am going to do a border run soon. Thanks again.

For the Visa gift card, how much does it cost and is it re-loadable?

Thank you

rsot · #48 07-11-2011

@MichaelW - assuming you speak of the Vanilla Visa - I believe it's 25 + 3.95 activation fee minimum, not reloadable. Other folx will def correct me if I am wrong.

Melissa1971 · #49 07-11-2011

It's $20 plus an activation fee for Vanilla Visa Gift Card

rsot · #50 07-11-2011

I have failed - thanks Melissa

jbluntz · #51 07-11-2011

Actually you're both right, they have 1 for $20-$500 + $4.95 activation and 1 for $25 + $3.95 activation.

rsot · #52 07-11-2011

I have been redeemed then.

Thanks, Jbluntz, for the great Virgin Mobile recommendation! The forwarding numbers are a pain in the ace and they are difficult to deal with.

Everyone who wants to take advantage of the phone sale from this thread, it ends 07/30/2011

Here lately i say 2 out of 5 amex cards i use on paypal wont work on that Pp dont know why it is but it say it can not be verfied. U can use the same card on another paypal and %90 of the times it will work. But if it dosent work the 2nd time thats it u cant use it again on paypal cause it will pop up a box saying in order to use this card u have to call Pp customer service. I had seen a few cases where vanillas would'nt work on Pp with the same problems.

rsot · #56 07-12-2011

U can use the same card on another pa yp al - won't that give you the message already used with another pp user?

I see you jbluntz on that Compaq...Frys.com was icing those for $270 with free shipping. I have a few myself

jbluntz · #58 07-12-2011

Yeah I got mine at Walmart for about the same price then went back and got another one later, keep 1 in my backpack and 1 at home, only thing I don't like is it doesn't have a firewire hookup :/

No cause it was never technly verfied on the first paypal cause they declined it said it was no good.

Just wanted to say that in my area, at least, Walgreens STILL has the sale going on where the virgin phones I am currently using are only $9.99 each. I've been going daily and getting 3-4 phones this way.

They only allow 2 per customer supposedly, but the high school kids who work the register don't really care in my area.

Up to 22 phones so far

Yea, Wally just upgraded them too for the summer. New ones have new processor, front facing camera, and some other minor upgrades for the same $298. Don't remember seeing any firewire upgrade. The laptop is so cheap so they don't expect anyone to be making big moves on that thing haha.

I wish I wouldve looked at this thread the other day when I first saw it. Im off to Walgreens now to see if they have it still. Or atleast have it here.. Thanks!

Giardino · #63 07-13-2011
