alexxkayAngry note to self, in the hopes that I will remember next time:
When a phone company offers you a "mail-in rebate" off the price of the phone, they will do everything in their power to prevent you from actually collecting on it. Find the rebate instructions before doing *anything* else with the new phone, including cleaning up the box it came in. In this case, I am out $50 because, though I was clever enough to keep the box the phone came in, I was NOT clever enough to keep the *outer* shipping box, which turns out to be where they put the Proof of purchase without which I am SOL. Grah!
