Just a quick reminder that today (May 4th) is the last day to get the $150 port-in credit from WIND Mobile.
To score your $150 simply bring your existing number to WIND no later than closing today. The $150 account credit will be added to your account in $30 installments over the course of 6 months. Give customer care a call at 1-877-946-3403 or stop by your WIND Mobile store to take advantage of this excellent promotion.
If you combine the $150 port-in credit with the Huawei U1250 and the $15 Chat plan you will be able to get 1 full year of WIND voice service for under $100! The port-in credit and “first month free” promotion will cover 11 months of voice service, leaving you with only one month to pay. Make it simple on yourself, head down to your nearest WIND store with $85+tax in hand and prepay for a full year of service. Of course any usage outside of your plan is extra, so an even $100 should be more than enough to cover you for a year.

With a name like “Simple Flip” don’t expect much out of the LG 230. The CDMA sports a 0.3 MP camera (no I did not reverse the 0 and 3), 1.77 inch (128×160) main display, Bluetooth, and an Ez tip calculator. A short feature list means low device pricing:
2 year term: $0.00
30 day term: $59.99
prepaid: $59.99
Picture it with the LG 230 Simple Flip Camera Phone. Snap pics, connect wirelessly with Bluetooth®, and take control with the dedicated voice command key. Call and text away to your heart’s content on this ultra-handy flip phone.
Stop by your local Virgin kiosk to pick up your LG 230 “Simple Flip”.

U.S. Cellular has released the Samsung R330 (Stride). This basic CDMA flip features 1.3MP camera, battery, travel charger, and stereo headset. The Stride is $39.95 on prepaid or $29.95 on a 2 year term. I think this phone would be better priced if it was free on a 2 year term as a $10 discount over 2 years is not very much.
The Samsung Stride is the perfect choice for life on easy street. Featuring sleek, stylish flip functionality, a large keypad, a built-in camera and Bluetooth® capabilities, this phone is a dependable traveling companion. Thanks to its effortless operation, the Stride is the phone to use when you choose to cruise.
Buy the Samsung Stride R330 online at the U.S. Cellular website or at an authorized retailer today.
