If you haven’t gotten one yet here’s your chance to save an extra $50 when purchasing the Bold 9700 with a new 2 year contract from our store for $149.99, compared to $199.99 if you get it from T-Mobile. If you’re already a T-Mobile customer you can get it for the same price as a new activation if you extend your contract by 2 years. The retail price is the same so without a contract it will still be $449.99.
