T-Mobile question

I won the T-Mobile phone pack back in early april and was just wondering if anyone else had recieved their prizes from that promotion yet or not, I sent the promo dept. an email but never heard back, luckily i kept the confirmation e-mail.
 
I searched and could not figure which contest you are talking about. I wish I could help but without more info cannot.

I do know that some prizes can take a long time. I won one contest a while back and the contest ends in September which is when they will start sending out prizes.
 
You will have to contact the judging agency, fulfillment company and/or T-mobile. It has only been two months since the end date but it should have arrived.


I found the rules but for some reason all game links are going to the T-Mobile Hot Seat Instant Win Game. I have checked out 5 sites with links to the NBA 2007 game and went to the Hot Seat game.

T=Mobile just responded to me and said that I should recieve the prize within the next 2 weeks, maybe eveyone who won from the will recieve their prizes also. Keep an eye out for the mailman :wave:

I won a $100 gc from the NBA store and have not received anything yet. Santa needs to start making his list!
Guess we'll be seeing something shortly. Winning is so much fun!!
 
I had to contact them and then the prize suddenly showed up on (the wrong - my parents) doorstep even though I had changed my address with them prior to that promotion. O well I got the prize in the end, and I hope you do too.
