Hello. I wanted to let everyone know that I mailed off my rebate forms on 05/01/06 and received an email from Inphonic on 05/09/06 that my rebate checks were being processed. I had to do some digging but I found an individual that works with InPhonic. I contacted the individual that works with Inphonic around 07/25/06 by the name of Jon Delahay and they have been of great assistance with informing me about my rebate checks and when the checks would be mailed out. I received my rebate checks today, 08/03/06 in the mail. If you would like to find out more information on the status of your rebate check you can contact Jon at [email protected] Make sure you include your Claim ID number in the email so Jon can assist you promptly. Jon and the staff have been of great assisitance. Give them a chance an hope this information helps everyone.

To my surprise my check was sitting on my doorstep this afternoon deilvered from FED-EX. Upon opening it I was slighty surprised to see my Rebate check had finally made its way home!! I called Kesha Evans, which of course is never in her office to take a call!! Upon telling the operator about my good fortune she suddenly became avaliable. I told its to bad it has taken over ten months of writing to anyone that would listen! It puts a black eye on compaines doing business on the net. There alot of good compaines out there, this is the only one that took me for a ride!! But I soon flatten there tire...the Attorney General for Wash D.C. will flatten the rest of them!!

Hi Ed and all my fellow rip-off-ees, Late this afternoon I spoke with Wendy Weinberg (the Assistant Attorney General in DC who is handling the lawsuit against InPhonic). She said they have had tons of complaints pouring in since they first announced the lawsuit. I told her that I (and others) have been all over the internet telling consumers about it and encouraging them to get their complaints in. She said "it must have worked" because they're getting swamped. She also said that the AG's office ABSOLUTELY wants people anywhere in the country to call them and send in their complaints regarding InPhonic. She also said she currently knows of about 3 class action lawsuits that have been or are going to be filed against InPhonic, but they have to be approved by the judges as "class action" before they're made public to affected consumers for joining in. I also wanted everyone to know that I was misinformed by the AG's office earlier this month with respect to the trial being in September. Wendy said it will be at a much later date (my guess is that the lawsuit and number of complaints have grown so much that it's going to be a slightly bigger deal than InPhonic's CEO, David Steinberg, is deluding himself with by calling it "frivolous"). I told Wendy about Steinberg's interview/press conference of July 7 where he grossly underplays the lawsuit, calls it frivolous, etc., and she became very interested in hearing what he had said. I asked her if she wanted me to send her the website so she could listen to it herself, and she said yes. I was more than happy to oblige! HEY EVERYONE: We're getting there!!! The AG seems to be more and more annoyed with InPhonic's shenanigans in the last couple of months, and they are more than aware of the same sickening excuses they've been using to deny payments. Wendy said she has also heard about the non-working (or nonexistent) website(s) the company has been directing people to go to for info on their rebates. Additionally, class action lawsuits are revving up! I don't know about you guys, but I'm certainly starting to feel better.

Dear Ed, I too am being scammed by inphonics. I have contacted the attorney general so hopefully as reports come in, something will be done. My issue is that they are telling me the rebate was expired before the product was even sold to me. They of course pushed me off to Tigerdirect who is also pushing me off. It's a long story I won't go into, but I just wanted to thank you for posting that link.
