Default BOGO possible with Vibrant and 3G Slide?

Has anyone been able to get the BOGO with the Vibrant as phone number 1 and the Slide as phone number 2?

I called last Thursday and the lady said sure but I didn't pull the trigger. I tried three different reps today and all of them said no. I went to a T-Mobile store and they said I could do the Vibrant as phone 1 but could not do the Slide as phone 2.

You can at any corporate retail store. Ask to speak to a manager if there's a problem.

I purchased the Vibrant as an upgrade to my G1 and got my sister a free My Touch Slide w/ the addition of a data plan to her existing line.

I had to call Tmo CS to approve my line for an early upgrade (had a month or 2 left).

The manager I spoke to, and I'm sure it can vary from region to region, said both lines simply had to be available for a FULL upgrade and either already have a data plan or need to add one with the upgrade. I was even told by CS it was the store's choice as to what their BOGO offer would be

it all comes up to the store. But yes you can can do the vibrant as the first phone and any other smartphone as the second one. Here are the stipulations!!

If doing upgrades. Both lines have to be at full discount upgrade. As far as an early upgrade say maybe 1 or 2 months away from full upgrade...you might be able to. If you real nice to the reps they'll do it. Dont threaten to call Customer care, because customer care can not over ride the stores policy, so it comes down to the managers decision. So like i said, be nice with them and act cool, and youll get your phones.

Was anyone able to get it to happen by calling customer care? Or only when going to a store.

I work 4am - 5pm and it makes it difficult to get to a store. Not impossible though.

CS told me their BOGO does not include the Vibrant. However, you can get two of the same phones from the CS BOGO which I was told you could not do in the store.

As part of the BOGO, I got the Vibrant and my wife got the MT3G Slide, her first smart phone. It must depend upon the store and/or employee as to whether or not this is allowed.

My brother managed to get 2 Vibrants, BOGO. The sign in the store said any Android device, BOGO, and the person behind the counter said the Vibrant was eligible. While ringing up the order, she noticed that, in fact, the Vibrant was not BOGO as we all know, however she would honor the deal because she already told him it was. This was on the release date, btw, so I'm sure there was a lot of confusion in the stores since the phone was released early and all.

Two Vibrants for 200 isn't a bad deal though!
