Got a free BB Storm and a BB Pearl
« on: June 13, 2009, 01:46:25 PM »

I Went to Letstalk.com to sign up for my free storm with 2 year contract.  I was porting my wife's number from Tmobile.  My credit report has a Fraud alert on it, so extra info is needed to extend me credit.

Ordered the storm phone over the interwebz.  2 days later, they call me for additional info.  I recieve the Storm 3 days after that.  When I went to activate it with verizon, it failed, so I called the number they gave me in the recording and dude told me keep the storm and they would give me a pearl for the new line.  So, 3 days later, I have a pearl in my hands.  activated it, then switched to a regular phone (BB has additional billing requirements)  Put the storm on my line.  Been 2 months now and nothings been said about the phone or any attempt to charge me.

Any idea if they could do anything if they caught the error?  Apparently, its LetsTalk that gave me the phone.



Cliffs:
Got Free Storm from LetsTalk
Activation denied
Verizon sent me Pearl
Activated pearl to port line and set up storm for myself
Any recourse after 2 months?

Yeah they will pwn you if they catch it. GF tried the same thing when she switched to Verizon and bought a BB then switched to another phone and sold BB. She bought hers through letstalk too. There is an agreement in there that you have to keep the data plan for like a year I think. She had to pay a $2xx fee for either the full price of the phone or  data plan cancellation can't remember. That's why they have better prices on BB's because of that stupid agreement.

Yeah I know Verizon doesn't care. They just won't let you have a BB activated unless you get the data plan. Letstalk has some agreement that you have to keep the data plan for so long which is why their phone is cheaper. Now how they find out I don't know, but they did somehow. They are the ones that charged her.

I'll see what happens, if they say anything, I'll offer to return the Pearl in mint condition.  and explain that I ordered the storm, and they fucked it up.
