Yeah.....never buy that stuff in the stores. They are horribly overpriced. Many stores buy those things for 2-4 bucks then mark them up to 30-45 and its rediculous.
Matter of fact....I would think long and hard before buying in a store. Check out the phones maybe, then check online. MANY times they are cheaper and dont even have to do a mail in rebate.
A trick that many reps will say that if you get it online it will be a hassle, that if you have questions and such you cannot take them to their store and ask. Which is BS...someone comes in with issues the rep will help ya. Buying in a store can be benefical sometimes...mostly on if the phone takes a shit within the first month or you want to exchange it, but at times the savings is anywhere from 20-200 dollars online, and even some times ya will get free activation onlines.
