Recommended seller. I bought one from him a month or so ago.

FYI

The Fire Phone is NOT compatible with Amazon Underground.

Once again, the Fire Phone is left in the dust.

Yes. I bought 2 from Amazon at different times, and 1 from an ebay seller, and I got a year of Prime for all three. I'm good through 2017!

You'd have better luck getting them on ebay. I recommend the seller linked above. I bought my third one from them.

A feedback to Amazon got me a "does not support Amazon Underground at this time". As a goodwill gesture, they gave me 5,000 Amazon Coins ($50 in value).

I also got my Fire Phone from this seller, $139.99 with free shipping. Fast shipment, brand new phone and one year added to Prime as soon as I registered it to my Amazon account. Love the phone! but am using on Wifi only as I have no need of another calling/data device.

Thanks to Booklover for mentioning this seller, gave me the confidence to go ahead and buy.

Barbara1955 · 09-29-2015, 11:22 AM

UGH! Went to check my WL on Amazon at 8:30 am est What you know they had the phone in stock for $159

eBay now accepts prepaid gift cards for purchases, see article here.

Barbara1955 · 09-30-2015, 01:23 AM

Pre-paid Credit Cards Not Gift cards. Those things have High Monthly fees & Charge you to add money & charge when you spend Charge monthly either way!

Amazon suddenly stopped letting people get 1 year of Prime with phones from ebay resellers. No warning to the sellers, either. That's bad business. They dumped huge lots of thousands to these resellers, they could have contacted and let them know they were going to do it. Instead, they left these resellers with a lot of unhappy customers, and who knows how many thousands of phones they are going to have a hard time moving.
