A:Answer If you are keeping your current service and phone number, you do not get the activated price. The price is $499 when not on sale. I did buy mine on sale right before Christmas so was under that. I asked the in store sales person and they said I couldn't get the lower activated price. I think you have to go with actual contract phone service to get the activated price. If you are using prepaid service, then you pay the higher price unfortunately.
