How do you purchase a replacement LG shine from AT&T without a plan?

Question

Is there a way to purchase a AT&T LG shine online with AT&T without purchasing the plan. We already have a plan and my daughter had the phone stolen. We realize we probably have to pay retail price but we don't want to do something on ebay and we want the AT&T phone. We got ripped off on ebay once and got a foreign phone. All we want to do is buy the phone . On Att website it doesn't appear you can just buy the phone. Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

you could look around on the internet and get one for around 300 $.  the easiest way is to go to the att store and talk about it there with them.  you could get one there for like 199.99 there.  i wanted just the phone to but i am getting a new contract so i dont need to worry about that anywhere.  but the easiest way is to go to the att store and talk about it there with them because they can give u the best price.  hope i helped!

Answer 2

AT&T will sell you the phone without a contract if you ask specifically for that.  Try going into an AT&T store, but just make sure its a company-owned store and not a franchise or dealer location.  Dealers only earn a commission on signing up a new contract, so they don't have any incentive to sell phones without them.

Another option is to buy the phone from a phone retailer.  A reputable store that I've used many times is mobilebee.com  --  they might be able to sell you the phone, new in box, for less than AT&T will sell it to you directly.

Answer 3

first did you have insurance on it? if so use that, if not purchase one at the no commitment price from att.
