Free Phones on Fridays from Best Buy
Best Buy has announced a new program called “Free Phone Fridays” to put a cell phone from each of the major carrier on sale for free on each Friday in October. Customers will also have to agree to a 2 year contract for a new line or add a line. Best Buy promises there will be at least one current generation smart phone included in the mix for each Friday. They will announce the phones each Thursday on the Best Buy Facebook page. October 1st line up includes:
- HTC Aria (AT&T)
- BlackBerry Curve (Sprint)
- Samsung Gravity 3 (T-Mobile)
- Samsung Fascinate (Verizon)
Of this list- the Fascinate is definitely the best deal of the bunch, but the BlackBerry is not a bad deal depending on which Curve is on sale. If it is the Curve 9330, that is only a $30 discount. It is interesting to note that the Gravity 3 is the only non-smart phone on the list. Best Buy believes that this will help generate foot traffic to their stores. If Best Buy is right, this may cause a whole new marketing change.
