I'm on the SERO plan so have to wait

Because I'm under a family's plan who work for sprint they said in my case I can not get any new phone on release date and I have to wait for a month ( really? ) .......so I was like "WTF, why did you guys sell my this $50 gift to use for the Epic 4g Touch?"....they was like...well, the sprint rep who sold you that card should of known when she pull up your account.....I said, yes. She should have..........now i'm stuck with a gift card and no PHONE..........F**K!

I'm on a sprint eprp plan (pretty much the same thing as sero) and I just picked mine up today, not sure why they told you that...

I just now spoke to the head of employee admin's boss's boss. She said every new release is like a beta test. If a week from now they hear no complain then it will be available for employee and it's people under ( me ). They doing this to protect us from buying a bad quality phone.

Sounds like you're not on a SERO plan but under a SWAC plan, employees and accounts under them usually have to wait a few days after a new release before they can order, in case stock levels become low after launch. Customers come first, employees second in high demand phones.

That's not true at all. Its based on the number of phones available and the demand by acutal paying customers.

yep sounds like you are on swac to me too OP! thats the only people that have to wait. i was on swac, sero, and now sero premium. if the person who got you your phone is still employed you are on a swac... i was on swac until the chick that got me my phone quit... then we called sprint on 3 way and they transferred liabilty to me and placed me on a sero plan.

Amazon Wireless Saved My Life

Last night, my phone screen cracked. I was devastated and the hubby was furious!!!! I called Amazon wireless who I got the phones from late November and they were amazing to me and they are overnighting me a new phone. Sucks to have to root and all that all over again.
Just wanted yall to know that Amazon has really great customer service. They also gave me their black friday deal even though I bought the phones a week before so I got mine for free, and now another one, for free.

This is the first i'm hearing of Amazon wireless. Loll

It was so crazy because the girl I talked to today, was the same girl who helped me in November when I missed the penny sale by a few days and she gave me the phones for free.
She totally remembered talking to me and that my granny's name was also Elizabeth and they she said she was just gonna replace my phone. I am so glad I didn't go through the insurance hassle with sprint. How weird is it that out of all the employees I get her twice and she remember so much about me. Crazy.
I was so upset I cracked my screen I had to take a valum. LOL

Can you buy phones off contract there?

that is pretty awesome,
I got the phone from amazon wireless about 13 days ago, thinking if I should get a replacement as the power button is mushy, making it difficult to press easily but hesitant to do so because its such a small issue.

I can attest to their c.s ...i had to have a new phone overnighted cause i lost everything on my phone including serial numbers and everything else lol...ty amazon life saver

If you cancel your contract early they tack another $250 on top the carriers etf and automatically bill it to the payment method you used to purchase your device. My Captivate cost $99.99 then a $350 etf and $250 to Amazon when I left At&t. So I ended up paying $700 for a $500 phone because of a nasty breakup. Don't use discount online services if you intend to leave your carrier early.

WOW... I didn't know they were that involved in your service plan. I wouldn't have thought that since they didn't make me go through my insurance to replace the phone. Good to know.

If I remember right they only charge if you end your plan in the first 6 months. All I know is that they nailed me lol.

newalker91 said:
They technically do not have the ability to charge you anything in relation to your Sprint account. They can bill you for the remainder of the phone cost if you haven't paid enough months to cover it, but not for terminating your contract. Only your carrier can reserve that right as you are in no contractual obligation to Amazon.

That's exactly how it works. I received the standard etf from At&t along with my last bill, then a separate notice from Amazon for their $250. They tell you upfront about the charge...still sucks though lol.

I Know. Im a flashaholic, coming from an Evo 4G! Any recommendations? haha

[Q] is Tmobile SGS2 worth it?

Walmart don't have it and I ain't doing any online retailer. Anybody that's paid the up front $289 think it's worth it?

Yes.
10chars

I paid $529 up front cuz I didnt want contract. This BEAST is worth every penny! Just need to root this baby to unlock its full potential.

I personally didn't see an omfg difference from my hd2 really. If anything, the most noticeable difference will stem from browsing and that is likely due to the increased sinternet speeds than CPU speeds. If you have a 1ghz device already, I say hold on till the summer. 2ghz phones and ICS are on their way already. I consider these phones to be stepping stones that is IF you can wait

yes
10 char

So far it is worth it.. I came from a g2x and sensation

i was on an old plan that they no longer offered. i jumped up to 1000 minute, uliimited text, and 2gb data. ====phone for cheaper i guess

It is worth it. I went to the corperate store and paid $327 with a pack of screen protectors. Tbh, i feel this kills the sensation and am glad it returned that dust ridin thing. I dont even miss the qhd.

You sure they didn't renew your contract ?? I was going over my receipt and they renewed mine without asking me. I paid $529 aswell because i didn't want to renew my contract. Can you confirm plz? thanx.

Walmart deal coming up.

I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and the rep told me Walmart is cooking up a big promotion for the S3. I called to upgrade one of my lines and asked him if they can match or beat the WireflyFriends price and he said unfortunately no but Walmart is getting ready for a big S3 promotion. Fingers crossed that it beats the WireFly sale price.

I already got $50 back from CarToys because of Walmart's S3 price. I'm hoping they drop it farther so I can get more, but I'm not sure how much time I have left from CarToys to do that.

dont know about wirefly but I bought mine from Costco for 179.99$

I don't know what the other sales are. But tmobile can beat em. Especially if your contract is about up.
Got mine for $79.99!
Ask for retentions, or at least customer loyalty. But retentions can do even better. Google tmobile retentions deals galaxy s3 for more info.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Did you just tell the automated machine retention? I didn't know that I'll give it a try.

I did try that but still got customer loyalty. I loyaly offered me $279 for phone, $150 credit bringing it to $129. Also got. $20 5gb data plan and a $10 per month bill credit every month for 24 months. I told her I wasn't ready to pull the trigger yet and would call back. Asked her if she made notes on my acct for all she offered which she did.
Called back next day and this time made sure I got on with a retention specialist. They saw notes on my account so honored all the offers. I said I didn't think I could accept because it still meant I had to initially pay $279 which I couldn't afford to do. He did some looking at something and said he could bring it down to $229. I asked if I would still get the $150 credit which I did. I told him I still didn't have that much to spend initially and he said he could apply the cost to my next bill, so after credit I would only have to pay the $79 on my next bill!
Oh and I also got free overnight shipping!!!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Wow, that's amazing. Been with them for almost ten years with multiple lines, hopefuy that helps me out. Thanx for the info, I will be glad paying 150. Guess I will give this tomorrow a try.

Good luck! Its definately worth trying.
I've been with them since the Voicestream days, over 10 or 11 years ago. That definately helps, especially if they think you are gona cancel.
The other thing is my contract had already expired which gives max leverage.

Trade it in

Just bought my friend the galaxy s4, she had a beat up old blackberry. This was at a real AT&T store. They are taking trade ins. They gave her 100 bucks for it. Got the phone for 100 bucks, not bad

I went in with my just about dead Note 1 (random reboots and freezes even after multiple resets to stalk) and got $150. Might have gotten more on ebay selling for parts (maybe) but no hassle . That's how no ended up with the note 2 which is so much better

Thats the same crap as htc' s trade in for the one "we'll give you 100 $ for your 500 $ phone"
Yeah no thx .
Its like going to a stealership to sell your car. " is that all your going to give me???"

No....I'm not serious. ...
But I do find great pleasure in complaining about it...g

I like how most people complain about how much they get on trade in. Seriously? You bought the phone under contract and its used. What do you expect? For att to give you full price on a phone that you might of paid $99 for and used it for 6 months. If you dont like the prices then dont sell it. Easy as that. But if you wanna whine about the value then here is your thread to cry in. Maybe one day one out of the few of you might grow up and be happy someone is paying for a phone you no longer use.

What we paid for it doesn't matter anyways...as with anything in life. And even if it was bought under contract, you're still paying for the rest of the price over the two year contract.
I guess when I sell my house I should sell for way under it's value because of what I bought it for??

Im not complaining im laughing at people rushing in to get ripped off yet again by the carriers!
