DealDigs has $29.99 instant Cash Back on this phone right now. According to its blog, you should be able to get your Cash Back as fast as in 48 hours. So, if you buy through DealDigs, your can actually get the phone for Free. Since DD is a deal/Cash Back site, I will not post its link here. Just go to dealdigs.com and you can see this deal on right side. There are also other websites providing CB on this phone, but according to some FW members here, DD is the best and fastest.

Not necessarily. You can remove the $25 prepaid card before you checkout.

Can I buy this phone, go over seas (Europe -- mainly UK) and buy one of those SIM cards for minutes over there? Seems like a good deal in that case.

If you unlock it first you should be able to.

Good deal, looks like a nice phone (on paper) especially for free and if unlockable. Nice backup phone for those that have nicer phones, too.

NO, you can buy as many as you can per their FAQ in another deal. But you must place an individual order for each phone.

anyone know if there's a limit on this?

awesome.. was just looking for something real simple and quad band! Cheers OP

Unless you can obtain the subsidy unlock code from AT&T, you may have a problem unlocking this phone. From what I've gathered, the Nokia 6085 is a BaseBand5 (BB5) phone and there aren't any viable or proven unlocking solutions for this model.

But laws have changed recently and I believe providers MUST unlock your phone for you after 90 days.

I told tmobile I was going overseas and they sent me the code without hassle, hopefully att is as easy.Only because you are a current, paying TMobile customer and added minutes to your phone within x number of days of requesting the unlock.
