I was supposed to get a bill of $140 every month but it fluctuates around $160-190, is it possible to get a 10-15 dollar discount every month by saying something??
If anyone has an idea, please share it.
Thanks
Corporate/university discount. 'nough said.
I asked for student discount when I got my epic and the guy went "No student discounts, but do you work at CVS?" We both knew I didn't but I said yes and I got a discount of like 20% off my bill a month for 2 years.
This link is outdated, but there is a lot of useful info if you read through.

SERO is useless. Just give the 800 number a company name like CVS or Accenture (25% off).
Ok, so if I say I work at CVS, won't they ask me to verifiy that? How can I do this?
Thanks
So If I just give them a CVS Number, they will give me a discount?

All you have to do is call them up, tell them you work for CVS, and that you were told there's a discount. They won't ask for an email or phone number. They do not verify.
Just be wary, currently we are going through accounts to verify place of employment for the NVP discounts.
They will more than likely ask you to go into a store for situations just like the ones these guys are telling you go do. Apparently they are going to start auditing all accounts with discounts to make sure they aren't fraudulent.

If you're off contract, call up retentions and threaten to cancel. They'll more than likely offer you some kind of discount. I did this back when I had to switch from SERO to a different plan in order to upgrade my phone and they offered me a $20 credit for 2 years. I don't think they offer the $20 credit anymore, but they might offer you something.

I did something similar. Patience is the key. I was asked for address and phone number of my workplace(I used I.B.M, was actually working on a research center) back in 2007....still getting 23% off. Plug away at retentions, no telling what you might get.
I wouldn't suggest lying....Seriously? lol
Just call the 1800 number and tell them you're a student, they should give you a discount. Try a few reps before you give up, some are willing to help while others...aren't so much.
I am assuming your on Sprint...
$69.99 unlimited plan is great. Then if you bank with chase they have a 27% discount. My monthly bill is roughly $62.
Just thought the Letstalk crowd could use one of these since the Wirefly folks have one and don't seem happy about sharing that thread.
Also, about to complete an order with Letstalk, if anyone wants $25 off I can try to add you as a friend referral during check out. PM me if interested.
Ordered mine Monday from Letstalk. My status still says its awaiting carrier approval.
Ordered mines on Tuesday and it says the same thing.

Ditto...
I called cause I was getting Jealous of the shipping status on Wirefly. Rep said it says that because the phone is not technically out yet. She said it will probably ship Freaking Monday and I will get it Tuesday. Since overnight shipping does not work on the weekends
Ordered monday night, had to call in to verify CC info and was told phones should be in sometime Thursday and will ship Friday.
The rep said this was not concrete so things may change.
My order shows Ready for Fulfillment, and Carrier Approval on the second status.
I cancelled my order with them...I used a referall and got $25 off making my wirefly order $125. I then went on chat and requested free overnight and they did it. I placed the order at 1pm on Wednesday, 9/14 and 3 hours later at 4pm it showed shipped. They are actually going out tomm, so I'll have it by friday
you have to ask the chat reps to "expedite your order by forwarding your account to the activation team" they will do it and next thing you know, your status is literally changing through the steps every 15 mins....they are quick!
I have a corp account which doesn't have activation fees, so I'm good. In my entire history with sprint, i've never had a single activation fee. it all depends on which corp discount you have
if you want to still place a order and want $25 off, just use my link and we'll both save that amount.

Well, at this rate 1am eastern thurs. If anyone were to change over to wirefly now, do you think they'd still ship it out thurs? They'ed probably end up going out on Friday at this point, no?

the main thing is you have to keep pestering them every step of the way....their status updates are deadly accurate....
i had to call in twice since it said so and as soon as I hung up, it went back to normal. Something about a mismatch with my pin. and verify my address
so keep a look out on your status ...they are really quick about it seems....
i think the main ting is to get them to give u free overnight and it will bump you
i honestly had 3 orders placed....letstalk, amazon, and now wirefly. They don't activate your account or touch your upgrade till they actually open the box to program your phone and when one does it first, others can't do it. I still cancelled both orders though
with the $$, it only places a hold on your credit card, not actually charging it till shipping. so no mess to clean up.

you can still place orders with other companies....when one gets to activating it first, they'll get it...the 2nd one will be denied and order auto cancelled since u arn't eligible for an upgrade

exactly, but remember to utilize the online chat and ask for free shiping because letstalk has the free overnight
after that, go to another rep and ask them to expedite you

If you pull this off please let us know. Just seems kind of late in the process for them to get ship it out to you before friday. If it was still 1pm 9/14 I'd say go for it, but 1:30am 9/15...
Do regular people (non-corporate account holders) get free activation at wirefly?

I was about too until I realized it would be 150 upfront and like 30days later u get the 25back. Smh I would want to buy a converter right now with that 25bucks lol.
Also my car payment is due this friday, My check wont go through with all these pending statuses lol.
Did you at least get the $25 off referral from Letstalk?
Just called about my order that was placed on monday. She said her supervisor told her they wouldn't be getting the phone in until friday and if they got them early enough, they would go out that day. Thus making the earliest I would see it, would be monday. I got nosey and asked how many orders they had so I could find out if it may go straight to backorder. She said at this point they only had about 100 orders for the phone and they had way more than that coming in. I know this may conflict with what others have been told, but that was the story that I got.

I hope this is the case. Some of their reps seem really dodgy to me, like they really hate their jobs.
Even if LetsTalk takes an extra week to ship, I don't mind, as I only payed $80 for this superphone. Sure I'd be disappointed, but still an amazing deal.
^Agreed^ but as with most all my purchases I want immediate gratification.

I agree, getting my upgrade for 123.99 with free overnight shipping, waived activation, and no tax is totally worth the wait.

At this point, treat it like a pre-order. Put your order in, don't opt for faster shipping, wait, and hope.
Or, wait for other retailers to stock it, depending on your plan.

They'll let you put in your order without issue; there's no wait list at this point other than first-come-first-serve order fulfillment. You may still want to order online to get free overnight shipping; if that's not available, call.

I would recommend placing your order online and just play the waiting game. One, when I ordered mine at 6am on April 29th, it gave me a message stating that my item was backordered and wasn't expected to ship until May 1st, when it actually ended up shipping that night and I got it the next day. And secondly, you want to place the order online to get the next day delivery, even if it is out of stock. But I can't say that you won't get the overnight shipping if you call, not sure how that would work since I ordered mine online.
Also, just as a side note for those who are iffy about T-mobile's service, I've had my wifi turned on ever since I got my phone and the service is top notch... wayyyyyyyy better than Sprint, speaking from experience. Cheers mates!

same thing happened to me, i was told on MONDAY (29th) by a CS representative that they were back-ordered, however i took a leap of faith and order online on TUESDAY (30th) with next day shipping and it said it would be delivered on the May 8th, however they mailed it and i got it WEDNESDAY May 1st . i guess the trick is to order online with next day shipping, and as of right now they are offering free next day shipping. So the trick is ORDER ONLINE and then play the waiting game, if it doesn't ship by the 5th/6th just call back and cancel and get it in store on the 8th. U have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If they charge u for next day shipping when ordering online just call the TMO CS representative and mention to the the free next day shipping promotion and they will adjust the price. (call AFTER you make sure your UPS package has shipped using the tracking #, calling prior to shipping may lead to CS representative pushing back your order...you've been WARNED) From there GOOD LUCK and Enjoy your S4 whenever u get it.

Question
For those who have ordered with T-Mobile via the $149 down and $20 a month...
Do you have to pay tax on the $149 down AND taxed on the $20 a month? Or do you get taxed just on the $149?

You get taxed on the entire $630. You pay the whole amount of the tax with your downpayment (about $45 in my case). After that, it's only $20 a month (no additional tax).

i was/am and existing customer too. And the offer promotion didnt say existing customers excluded therefore it was valid for exisiting and non existing customers as long as u ordered on or before the 2nd of may they HAVE TO refund shipping, i would ask for corporate as it clearly stated on their website free next day overnight shipping if u order online valid until the 2nd of May. Anything less than a refund would be false advertising. Its really up to u how much effort u want to put into getting your money back and how well u explain it to them, but it really shouldn't be much explaining as the website clearly stated it was free next day shipping and its not your fault they didn't adjust their online ordering system to reflect the "promotion"

You should be able to. When you log-in to my.t-mobile.com, under Support on the top links, there is 'Order Status' on the very right. Put your order number and zip there. I have to do that since my new orders aren't showing up automatically on the Manage page.

no problem! I still need to wait till tomorrow
I am in disney on vacation, and I was going to go to a vzw store down the road for in store pickup, but because my billing address is in NJ, they wouldnt let me buy it. I said, screw you vzw, I'll wait a day and pay less. Also, amazon is still $200 unless you make a new line, so it's pretty much all the same. Now all I need to get is the squaretrade warranty for $99 on amazon tomorrow and I'm set!
Has anybody gotten the code to work when paying full retail? I just tried and it didn't apply any discount
How long is the code good for?
The end of August I believe
I wonder if this can be used in store?

I did it last night and selected in-store pick up. Then, I learn of this promo code this morning. I called VZW customer service and they told me I'd have to try to apply the coupon in store.
I asked if I can just cancel the order and I'd redo it but apparently I have to cancel in-store too. Makes no sense to me but I'll find out in 40 mins when the store opens.

Cancelling the order over the phone now with the store since they can't add the promo code. They aren't sure if they can cancel it though; as per VZW's site, the order automatically cancels if you don't pick it up within 4 days. Hoping I don't need to go that route.
Also, no-go on that coupon for full retail at the store.
EDIT: Nope, they can't cancel. Have to wait four days. Time is money, and I'll just eat the $50. An hour of overtime will cover that!
I was able to select instore pickup and use the code.
it Works
I went to my Verizon store and was able to talk them into letting me use the code in the store. Your experience may vary

I had used the code successfully online and selected in-store pick-up, but when I got there, the code didn't come up in their system!
Fortunately, I had taken a print-out with me (showing the discounted price) and when they asked where I'd found the code, I pulled up this thread in our forum)) to show them, so they were very nice about it and honored it. [Again, YMMV.]
I was polite throughout (which I'm sure helped) and then thanked them several times.
Good luck everyone. She sure is a beauty!
I selected store pick-up and when I went to checkout the system would not let me complete the order. What am I doing wrong?

Ok thank you all
Just spoke with Samsung and they said to try again on March 4th.
In my experience when placing the order on Samsung's website, the credit isn't something they give you, rather you spend it as you place your order. Anything you didn't add is essentially lost as it's a one time deal. That's what I was told. I was pretty upset because I thought with after getting the Galaxy Buds+ I would save $50 after the case I wanted was restocked. I ended up disputing the credit loss and they emailed me a promo code with the remaining $50 which was nice. Problem resolved!

I read their terms and it says, if you don't use any of the credit, you'll get it emailed to you 15 days after delivery of your phone. If you used only a partial, you'll lose whatever's remaining. Glad Samsung sent you a promo code for that $50. They sent me one for $70 because they kept canceling my order.
I chatted with Samsung today informimg that I received my pre-ordered Ultra from T-mobile yesterday and I wanted to know how to claim my $200 store credit.
They informed that the promotion starts on 03/05 and to check the inbox in the Shop Samsung app and the instructions will be there on how to get the $200 credit which involves uploading my receipt in which they will then verify.
Attached are my chat logs for reference
The credit is active on Shop now, but mine did not work the first time. I contacted Samsung and they said that the servers are overwhelmed right now. They also recommended that I uninstall and reinstall the app and to try again. It worked okay that time and I was able to complete the registration process for the credit. Now it's just pending approval.
I did mine first thing last night at like 11pm central time. Went through fine on the samsung app. It now says pending approval. Think this is kind of a stupid process. They should have supplied codes with the phone or have a way to auto validate. Its been close to 12 hours now and is still pending approval. I chatted with samsung last night and they said it can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks for you to get your credit after approval. Hope the guy was an idiot and that actually isnt the case..... all this for buds+....

So i contacted the chat again and the support guy wasn't much help, but almost right on the 12 hour mark, just got a notification that is has been approved. Now it says "Congratulations! Your submission has been approved." and then below it says "Your Samsung credit will be delivered soon. Your Samsung credit will be delivered in approximately 4-6 weeks" fml.....
I submitted mine, says currently under review. I had to submit proof of purchase, did anyone else?
Worked for me. Got almost instant approval and no proof of purchase.

yeah, every one has to. I think its to see the date of purchase to prove you pre-ordered it. Which i get, but its still stupid since the phone isnt even on shelves yet. so yes, we obviously pre-ordered it...

The way to auto validate is buying it from Samsung directly.
I love when people get bonuses and they complain that it's not instant.

It is a "Bonus" , but i purchased the phone with the knowledge this $200 credit comes with the phone. It was apart of my decision in buying the phone. A true bonus is something you didnt expect in my opinion. So yes, i am perturbed about their process for claiming the reward. I registered for the credit within the hour of it going live and am still waiting for the email with the credit code. In my personal opinion, this is a bit ridiculous and the conspiracy theorist in me wonders if this is by design to make you buy from samsung direct in the future.

the approval was instant for me (like couple hours). the credit will take some time because its not just 1 or 2 people getting it.
this was simlar to my note 9 preorder promotion, when i got the free akg headphones. the approval took longer than this one (about a week).
the headphones got delivered in about 3 weeks.
just be patient. its not a life or death situation

Samsung doesn't care where you buy the phone, they make money either way. What they don't want is you buying the phone and returning it yet so getting the bonus. If you buy it from them, and you don't return the bonus items, they just reduce your refund. If you buy it from Verizon and claim the bonus, it's harder to get their money back if you return the phone.
I plan on getting a couple of 45 watt chargers, but that's only half of the credit. What are you guys planning on getting?
