Radio Shack has offered mobile phones for a while, but they have stiff competition from other third party retailers like Amazon, Wirefly, and Best Buy Mobile. In an effort to draw attention to their mobile phones, and ring up some holiday sales, Radio Shack is offering discounts on the iPhone 4, with the 16GB model for $149, and the 32GB for $249. The iPhone 3GS is also on sale for only $49.
If you have an earlier iPhone model, you're in luck. Radio Shack will honor their trade-in discounts on top of the sale price. An iPhone 3GS can be worth up to $125 in trade-in value. So if you trade a 3GS in good condition, you could get an iPhone 4 for as little as $25. An iPhone 3G trade-in can be worth up to $75, so you're still getting a great deal.
We aren't sure why there hasn't been more publicity for this deal. iPhone 4 holdouts will find it particularly tempting. You should know that the sale price and trade-ins are only valid in-store. Sale prices end on December 11th, so get moving!
Mint Mobile is now allowing you to get whichever plan you like for either three, six, or 12 months for just $15/mo. If you go for the six-month unlimited service, for instance, you'll now have to pay just $90 upfront instead of $210.
