T-Mobile is ringing in the holiday season with the “Find the Elf” contest, which could land you $1000 and a Samsung Galaxy SII with an entire year of free service, if you’re lucky enough to hunt the little bugger down. Wanna know what you have to do? The rules are pretty simple. First, make sure you’re following @TMobile on Twitter — most of you probably already are, but just in case.
Next, keep your eyes peeled on that Twitter timeline for the Elf’s ciphered clues. Your mission is to decipher these clues, go to the correct T-Mobile retail store, find the elf and tweet at him. Once you’ve nabbed the slippery little sucker, you’ll be the cool recipient of an 1,000 smackers, as well as a shiny new SGSII with a full year of service without having to spend a dime. What better way to start a new year, eh?
