Amazon Bonus Deal of the Day -- 07 Jan only

• $189 - Amazon Fire Phone --> 32GB Unlocked GSM
• FREE - Amazon Prime --> one-year subscription w/ phone purchase

Today Only -- this is the lowest price this phone has ever been. It's $10 cheaper than its previous two low price points. Included is a free one-year subscription to Amazon Prime (a $99 value). If you're in the market for Prime or wish to extend your current subscription, then that brings the price of the phone down to $90. A killer deal.

Many of us purchased this phone during the previous two sales and are using it as a media player (a mini Fire tablet, if you will). This phone does NOT need to be activated in order to work this way.

For those wishing to use it as a phone, please note the following in reference to carrier compatibility:

U.S. Compatibility

All GSM Networks including AT&T, T-Mobile, Walmart Family Mobile, MetroPCS, Cricket Wireless, Brightspot, Simple Mobile, Mobal, Net10, Straight Talk, h20 Wireless, and OneSimCard.

This device is not compatible with Verizon, Sprint, and US Cellular.

^ Tempting just to have yet another gadget, and possible future smartphone for my daughter; but I get the feeling it'll be ~$129 with free year of Prime soon enough.

Probably; especially if Amazon releases Fire Phone 2 this summer.

This is the same promo code I used last Nov for my 3-month trial.

Your promo code needs to be changed. You transposed the "b" and the "d". It should read:

• scribdlovesharlequin

[BearMountainBooks]

Thanks, I changed it. Honestly they could have come up with a more sensible name! :>)

Thank you. Karma sent. I'm not a Harlequin reader, but I'll take the extended trial anyway. I drug my feet on the previous one as I really don't like reading novels on my tablet.

Thanks for the karma. I'm not a harlequin reader either (although I read some of their Carina Press mystery authors). It's a good deal for a free trial! Weirdly I had just asked them about deals for some stuff I was blogging and apparently this deal wasn't working (it was out there, but not working). I saw a tweet that they got it working so thought I'd post here for anyone who wanted to try it!
