Hey, this is my first t-mobile phone, and first contract phone, got a text today saying my bill is ready, would someone more familiar mind explaining it to me?
The deal I got was £89 for the handset, and £15 per month, yet this is what is in my billing section:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
&
Makes no sense to me.. help?
They tend to charge you a month and a half, or something like that, to cover the time from activation til the first bill date and then month in advance...might explain it
It looks to me like they are charging you £12.77 plus vat (thats £15) for your contract.
Then they are getting the handset cost wrong.
On my first bill, the cost of the phone came up as something crazy like £300, then they added the Equipment Credit to bring it down to the amount I was supposed to pay (£110).
In your case, it looks like they have put the initial handset cost incorrectly (£89), and then still added the credit as well.
You might get a big credit to your account, though they might then find out their mistake and want it back. Likely they would never notice though - so your choice - heaven or hell ;-)

So the negative figure means I'm in credit due to their mistake?
I hope so, will see what happens ~30th.

where'd u get that metal case? you've got hardware problems, u can sell that below P10k(more or les 200USD). i got mine off ebay, software was very in tact, hardware was ok but the screen had a very obvious scratch. got it for 10k.
I payed £90 for my XDA2s, which seems to be in about the same condition apart from the camera works, and anyhow, i wouldn't think a non working camera tis that big a deal on these things, it isnt amazing anyhow
OK Im SELLING.

thanks for the info guys.
The original back that is. I still have my extended battery back, but the original one is lost forever. Will sprint replace it?
really?
Sprint is not going to replace something that you lost, without paying tep. Maybe if you found a nice rep that might give you a used one. I just did a search on ebay http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=ep...id=1&_localstpos=&_sc=1&_sop=15&_stpos=&gbr=1 you can get a replacment for
$7. Ï just spent 30 sec on that im sure you can find cheaper if you look, you might also find a cheaper one if you spend more itme.
hope this helps

Epic users ROCK.
The question is quite simple. Many people claim their batteries are original when they aren't. The fact that they cost 9 USD when, in Brazil, they cost over 100 BRL also make me wonder (mainly because USD BRL conversion is 1 - 1.8)
it's hard to tell if you shop online.
But if you can actually get your hands on it, there are couple things you can do.
The easiest way to identify is rip open the sticker on the battery. ( it's wrapped around the battery, so even if you rip it open, you still can wrap it back )
There should be carving like in the picture below.

But there are a new type of identical copy right now, that has the same carving as the picture above.... if you run into those.... see if the batter wrapper ( the one u rip open ) build quality is good and good luck....
One more thing, the the original battery weights 49g, and most the fake ones weight around 45g.
If you are buying on ebay, there is really nothing you can do until you get the actual item. And to be honest, if the seller do selling original battery on ebay for a cheap discount price, he is probably loosing some money there. I would find a more reliable source if I want to buy stock stuff.
That was a very useful response, thank you. Would you happen to know any worldwide deliveres worthy of trust? And what would be a reasonable price for the original battery?
not that I know of :x i usually either just suck it up and buy a cheap one that I obviously know it's some pirated stuff, or just dish out the cash and order from samsung. At least I can sleep better that way knowing what I am getting exactly...
The problem is Sammy still does't sell anything for the Note in Brazil.
all the battery is fake in china

Doesn't list the item as OEM... but claims it was via message.
Not OEM. Poor fitment. Cracked already and had imperfections.
Doesn't line up with the flash, pushes up against the speaker and camera. No bueno.
This is the follow up from a previous post that was floating around.

Cool story bro, I have been buying parts from ebay for almost 10 years & never had an issue.
Anyone that says one thing PM and another on the add is suspect and should not have been given business. Period.
Maybe the shopper should do more research 1st next time.
There is a company in China that goes by the name "OEM".
So the eBay sellers often use that MFG to sell products, pretending to be true "OEM" products.
Very confusing and eBay should put a halt to this practice.
Really needs to be a craigslist type of system where users can "flag" this or other types of auctions.

I hit my 10 year anniversary couple months back and it was never an issue for myself until recently. Way too many things from China. I've learned to just not buy anything from China anymore. The thing is... the Chinese manufacturers will have a warehouse in the US and ship it all from there. Then they claim to be state side. Bummer.

Samsung Mobile USA posted on its Facebook that it's sending a coupon for 50% off accessories.
Here's the Facebook status:

My phone is registered but what is Owner's Hub? I don't see an app for it on the Play store or anywhere on my phone.

It's linked to Facebook, but it didn't like my IMEI. Too bad, the coupon would have been nice.
I hate how everything these days is linked to facebook and twitter.
Guess I miss out on this deal. Don't want to make a stupid fb account.
i guess it's only for US gs3. entered my canadian imei, didn't work. thanks for the post tho.
if anyone got the code and wouldn't mind sharing that'd be awesome!
It's not worth it. Have you seen the "accessories" on their site? There's 12 things for the S3.
It's pretty funny what I did the other day and I had to share.... I used the coupon code for an accessory and I added a "Development Verizon S3" and it took half off of the phone too and it even let me checkout and I got a confirmation e-mail and everything! I ordered (2) of the 32gb models and it was almost $700 with tax... I should have just tried to get one and maybe it might have slipped by the radar but unfortunately they caught on and cancelled my order... LMAO I knew that was gonna happen but I HAD to try.... Maybe one of you should try to just order a phone with one accessory and see if it goes thru?? YMMV crazy that it would even let the order go through though.... Like I said, I had to try!! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
i'll be holding onto my coupon until the last eligible day, hoping that the wireless charger gets released.
Great info
Thanks
EVERY accessory I click on only has a link to a different seller. How do I buy it on their site? I like how they make like 7 different color flip covers.
