Develop Bugs

Thank you, T-Mobile (making good T-Mobile's error)

Tuesday evening, my wife and I upgraded and extended our contracts. Or, we thought we did. As it happens, however, the T-Mobile representative put through the contract extension but not the new Galaxy S IIIs. (We were to pay $79.98 for each 16GB phone; get a $10 monthly loyalty discount; and keep our 14% AAA monthly discount. The phones were supposed to be delivered no later than tomorrow (Friday).)
When the phones did not come today (Thursday) and I did not find a record of the phone upgrades at myTMobile, I called. Long story short, and I was on the phone for over 50 minutes (both talking and on hold), I accepted the following offer:
1. Two 32GB S IIIs for $79.98 each.
2. Free express delivery, most likely next Monday.
3. One month free service.
4. A $50.00 credit.
5. The same $10.00 loyalty credit and 14% discount.
I spoke calmly and reasonably. The T-Mobile representative was friendly and helpful. I infer her supervisor, whom she consulted more than once, was equally helpful.

Damn, I wish I paid $79.98 for my S3 lol.
Good to see they handled your situation appropriately.

Haha who wouldn't. I paid 380$, let's trade haha.
That's good karma op, usually the person would have overreacted but like you pointed out you did it in a calmly fashion.

The 16 GB ones are going to be free with MIR starting tomorrow (Friday). Still a good deal.

I was generally aware of "Magenta Days." The T-Mobile representative told me, perhaps incorrectly, that only the down-payment on the Value plans is being waived. The 16GB phones, therefore, would have cost $400 each.In any case, after factoring in the two discounts I would have lost by switching, it seemed to me I was being offered a fair, indeed possibly a superior, deal.

I went through a similar situation, they upgrade the contract but then never do the phone, or they charge you full retail price. So then you have to call again and hope you get a good rep (they are about 1 in 5) who can help, most of the call center is clueless. So then they also need a manager to approve anything over $150 back to your acct. So, keep checking your mytmobile, you may end up seeing full retail price on there. Also check your data plan if you have grandfathered, they might mess that up too.
But I was honestly surprised, they appear to be fixing things as was originally agreed upon in the first place. So there are a few good people at the call center. (LOL, one exec brags about how he consolidated 14 customer support call centers down to just 2)

What? The phones will be free tomorrow? I just got mine like 5 days ago and I paid $200 before Mir. I wonder if I can get them to credit me the difference since in still in the 14 day return window?

Possibly but you can always return within 14 days and go to a different store and get the magenta days deal

There is some restocking fee when I asked before about getting something during father's day.
Is the Magenta sale only apply to Value plan? T-mo new policy is to call something "free" but they are only
talking about the downpayment. Their new scam is to relabel all phone pricing as downpayment and then
month installments.
So, yes the phone 20 monthly payments of $20 and a $150 down, you are getting $150 off, but still owe $400.

How long have you had that AAA discount? Is it grandfathered because that's not the AAA discount I got..

That is the AAA discount I get as well, I just got a 32GB GS3 for $179.99 with the 50MIR, I am on a grandfathered 1200minute myfave plan with 5GB data

The AAA discount now is one free month and no activation fee. Wtf.

NOTE2 for $247.49 with Classic Plan. Valid till NOV 8.

On Thursday I got an Email from Ebay that they are selling Smartphone for 25%Off w/2yrs contract... went to their website saw that it is actually BestBuy who is selling the phones. NOTE2 Costs $329.99 minus 25%. that comes to $247.49 + Tax... so i order a white one and they already shipped it out and i am gonna receive it on Monday....
This deal is good till November 8th 2012.. so any of you guys that are interested you can get it for almost $250+Tax either upgrade or new Activation.
Last week i bought a Titanium Gray Note (wanted white but didn't have it) from T-Mobile store $250 + full manufacturer price TAX that came up almost $300 with Value Plan that I am not happy.. i need to add two more line and if i do that i am gonna end up paying more that classic plans so that's why i was looking for a classic plan deal that i found from EBAY.
DON'T forget to add the Promo Code during checkout to get 25% Off - PromoCode: EBSAVE25. LINK to EBAY

Looks like the classic plan is only good for talk though, no texting. Although, I'm sure it could be added on to the plan later

if you are new to tmobile on the classic plan, switch to the value plan, pay your 200 bucks and you just got a phone for 450.
EDIT: I was thinking of doing this deal but I was just at Costco and they said they will get the note soon so I will probably just go that route and hope they have a price that is comparable, plus no activation fee.

Those two plans offered looked like garbage. I think you will be paying for it in the end.

I have a grandfathered 200MB plan. The order went through, but I'm keeping my fingers that I don't get an email back about there being a problem with my order.

If you do this wouldn't you need to pay Tmobile ETF fee, eBay ETF fee, activation fee, and one month of service with the classic plan?

Yeah, I've been looking at the details trying to figure out if I can save money by returning my phone ($650) and buying this. I don't think I'm going to do it. The only fine print I can't find is the eBay ETF. Is there an extra one?

I wasn't able to find an eBay/BB ETF either so maybe there isn't one? I know with some companies like Amazon or Wirefly they have their own ETF. Since I still have 3 months left of credit on my prepaid plan I guess I'll be waiting til there's no rebate to try this..

you would just pay the 200 dollar migration fee from classic to value, as far as I can tell, costco nor bestbuy charge any etf other than the carriers etf. you still need to pay activation but you pay that pretty much everywhere except costco. as for the one month on the classic plan, thats a possibility, but still thats a 20 dollar difference for one month so still a decent deal.

Dang my main line with data isn't due for an upgrade until the 10th, two days after this promotion ends. I wonder if I could use one of my non-data lines to get this without adding Data to that line.

My order shipped today! The upgrade went through and I'm getting this phone for a measly $270 with tax, shipping, and upgrade fee included while only paying $10 a month for 200MB of data (and $10 for my voice line and $5 for 400 text messages) as far as I understand. I logged in to my T-Mobile account and it doesn't look like any of my plans changed which is what I wanted. Thank you so much for the heads up on this deal!

Same exact experience for me. I returned my Note 2 on Sunday after seeing this offer. I just got the email telling me it shipped. This is MUCH better than going the Value Plan route. With the value Plan you pay the $200 down and you pay $20 for the next 2 years. You will never see the savings in the value Plan because you will be paying for the phone each month, which will bring the bill to the same (or more) as a classic. I went over this option with THREE T-Mobile reps (the knowledgeable ones, not the ones from the Philippines) and they ALL said the same thing tome: It doesn't pay to switch to a Value Plan when the costs of the phone payments will put me at or above my current Classic Plan amount. #WINNING

the reps are brain dead, you will pay less because 4 months of the contract you are not paying the extra amount, and with this price, you will pay much less by converting to value plan, taking the 200 dollar hit and being done with it.

classic plan vs value plan

can some one explain to me these plan
cuz i see that the galaxy s3 is going to be free with a clasic plan http://www.tmonews.com/2012/11/t-mobile-holding-two-day-samsung-sale-on-november-16th-17th/
so i want to know what is the deal

value plans are cheaper but you pay the full price of the phone with them , classic plans you get the phone cheaper but theyre more expensive

Was on my account when I read the OP so I copied and pasted what I found. On the CU adding a line is $10.00 per line, and the VP is $25.00
Hope this helps.

They're the same when it comes to the services offered and the requisite 2 year agreement. The only difference is the price and phone subsidies.
The idea behind a Value Plan is that you get NO subsidies when it comes to phones and so, T-Mobile passes the savings to you. On a Classic Plan, you can get subsidized prices for phones, and, as a result, you pay more month-to-month. Now you need to decide and do you research and see what is the better option for you.
In my case (I need 4 lines for a Family Plan, and I buy my own phones off Criaglist/Ebay, or up-front), the Value Plan was a better idea. However, if you need a phone and can get in on some deals, then the Classic Plan may be better.
It all boils down to pure economics, nothing is ever free, it's just these american carriers have brainwashed the public that phones are "cheap" and plans are "expensive". And that's why most Americans are tied for 2 years to a large wireless bill and aging hardware.

i saw that the galaxy s3 was going to be free with 2 years agreement so i decide to get it and just pay 200 to cancel the contract and put it on the value plan

Since I have been with TMO almost 8 years we have been getting IMO great deals on phones. "Loyalty" department calls it corporate discount. At the end of Oct. I replaced my wife's Mytouch 4g with an S2, cost me 126.00 shipped overnight with a 100.00 rebate. Then ordered my Note 2 for only 250.00 shipped overnight and it came with a 50.00 rebate. Yes we signed a new contract but since the Mytouch was a "warrenty issue" we only had to extend one contract and to top everything we chose which contract to extend. So with 2 new phones under 300.00 and a contract extention to June of next year. You just can't go wrong with TMO.
You do have to have a silver tongue and negotiate. I call it playing the "corporate game"

Going along with the post 2 up, keep in mind, regardless of your carrier, you're always paying for your phone subsidy. Carriers don't really make money on devices. Why do you think you get locked into a 5GB or UL data feature when you upgrade on a classic plan?
I like the value because you have more flexibility. If I want to switch to a 5GB with hotspot, I can do it any time I want. Or pull off data all together. Also, no bs upgrade fees, and when you're finished paying off the phone, it's done. Unlike the classic or any other carrier where you keep paying for it.
The value plan eligibility is changing so I'd check in the coming months if you're eligible to switch.. If you're interested.

If you plan on keeping your phone for 2 years, go with the value plan. It is very hard to resell a phone that has been purchased on the value plan until it is paid off.

There is never a scenario where the classic plan is cheaper than the value plan. Unless you call customer service and they give you a phenomenal deal on a phone.

Exactly. So with the big push to get customers on the value plan, which one do you think T-mobile prefers? They aren't going to try to get you onto a plan that will make them less money in the long run.

Umm, yea that is what I said. They want people on the value plan because you don't own your phone. If you don't pay your bill, the IMEI gets blacklisted and your phone is useless. On the classic plan, you own your device which is much better for people that switch phones often.

The only other scenario that's cheaper than a value plan is if you have a grandfathered plan. That's my dilemma right now. I'm holding on to my grandfathered plan as long as I can but I really want the Note 2 as well, but I don't have $500 to outlay up front even if I get it back as a rebate (which of course they'll try to screw over).
So I'm going to take a chance and call loyalty on November 16 to see what they can give me.

Let me ask you, you said your IMEI could get blacklisted for non payment. Couldn't you simply flash your phone and use another carrier or pre pay sim?

Value plan doesn't mean you don't own the phone. An EIP plan means you don't own the phone.
T-Mobile certainly can't blacklist phone you own ( ie Google purchased nexus 4) for non payment on a value plan. Best they can do is send you to collection for breaking contract on 2 year value plan unless you pay them the etf.

That seems like a fantastic price ($20)for unlimited data, talk, text, and hotspot. Are you sure that is what you are getting?
If it is, can you show which plan you are on? I want to see if I can duplicate the same deal.

On the Classic Unlimited with international text, discounted international to the phillipines, with 6 lines.
The Tabs data is usually 35 bucks a month. But again tmo dropped the ball on me. Earlier in the day i had placed the order and i paid 250. Cash. Well it was weird as i didnt recieve any text or email notifications. When i got home from i called and 1. They put in the numbers wrong and ordered the Tab 7" 2. The damn thing was on bo. I wasn't to happy so after 30 minutes with loyaty I got to a sells agent who hooked it up. He couldn't give me anymore discount on the phone as I am already on the "corporate discount" he did give me the plan for 20 bucks. Plus a 50.00 rebate form.
I did have to extend a full 2 years on the Tab as its an added line.
Last month my wife got her SGH-989 for 26.00 after 100. Rebate and no contract extention
Did I mention my monthly bill is under 300.00

We are very happy with our service, lastnigh I bought the new Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 for 250.00 with a 50.00 mail in rebate. Unlimited data, talk, text, and hotspot for 20.00 a month
Let me ask you, you said your IMEI could get blacklisted for non payment. Couldn't you simply flash your phone and use another carrier or pre pay sim?

Only overseas or in Canada. T-mobile and AT&T share an IMEI database now so AT&T will block it as well.

Value plan doesn't mean you don't own the phone. An EIP plan means you don't own the phone.
T-Mobile certainly can't blacklist phone you own ( ie Google purchased nexus 4) for non payment on a value plan. Best they can do is send you to collection for breaking contract on 2 year value plan unless you pay them the etf.

That seems like a fantastic price ($20)for unlimited data, talk, text, and hotspot. Are you sure that is what you are getting?
If it is, can you show which plan you are on? I want to see if I can duplicate the same deal.

Yes, you are right. I was speaking strictly in regards to purchasing the Galaxy Note 2 on EIP and not using the value plan and BYOD.

Upgrade and SERO accts

Hey all its upgrade time, and was on my sprint page about to upgrade, and it stated that I would have to add an 'additional' $10 fee, and also there was an $36 activation fee
Is this a new fee (currently have a epic 4g touch SII wimax 4g plan with a $10 fee added on)
And what happened to not having to pay an activation fee if you did it online?
Did sprint change this too, or is it because I have an older heavily discounted acct?
After all the taxes/fees the 'upgrade' comes to $400. Might as find a used one I was thinking

The website is saying that you need to change your account because it doesn't handle or understand SERO. The fees aren't added until you activate the phone. Because you're on SERO, you have to buy the phone first, but don't activate it online. Instead call the SERO folks. It's either 888-876-8381 or 888-882-4030. I don't remember which one I use.
You won't have to pay the additional $10 fee (you already are), and you might be able to sweet talk them into eliminating the $36 activation fee.

Thanks for the help

They will take of the WiMax $10 fee and put the LTE $10 fee. It's the same thing basically, they just have different names for that $10 add-on. My bill didn't change when I switched.

Before I can say anything how much are you paying now a month? If your paying $40 a month then after you upgrade you will pay $50. No way around that. As for $36 activation fee, you will have to pay that. You may get it back once it's in your bill. Or you can call sero line and order phone and have them waive activation fee at that time. If you need sero phone number let me know or dial *2 from the phone that's on the sero account. Remember you can only upgrade sero phones at sprint store or over phone at sero department. In the end you should be paying $199 plus $36 activation fee and with taxes depending on where you live it should be around $247. If your paying $40/month then add an extra $10 from then on. Reason I know is because I just upgraded a phone for a family member on sero. Hopefully this helps. Let us know what you find out.
By the way, your able to update on the website if you log on with your sero account but there's a chance the system may screw thing up. Your better off going into a store so this way if things don't look right you don't have to go through with the deal.

From an inside perspective. Sero 500 is currently 30 $ a month for Dumb phones. To use a smart phone you have to be on the Sero Premium 500 that is 40 $ a month. As well all know there is an additional 10 $ mrc for Premium Data. If you are currently paying 50 $ total a month on a WiMax device and upgrade to an LTE device online it will mention the 10 $ mrc. The SOC code for WiMax vs LTE is different and one will be dropped when the other is added.
The only 30 $ a month Smart Phone plan out there on Sprint is the Sprint Wireless Advantage Club "SWAC" accts. Its the SWAC 500. It still costs 40 $ in the end because of the 10 $ Premium Data. But non the less its 30 $ a month for 500 Anytime Mins and Unlimited everything else.

The first store I went to they said they would have to change my plan and it would add 10 bucks a month. Went to another and all the guy had to do was call in keep my price. I'm on sero premium, $40 plus the $10.

okay this is the part that is weird, I have the $40 + $10 plan (500 minutes, unlimited data), and on my log-in page, it shows that the phone is $299 + taxes + activation for my ugrade
went to amazon and its $199 upgrade (of course I know I cant use that link to do a employee referral upgrade
the issue I am having, is my local stores are telling me that they can't even access my account I have to call in, due to my account type ( I was hoping to "reserve in store" so I could just pick the phone up, I hate waiting for mail shipments)
amazon will let me upgrade, but I always get concerned with getting my account readjusted, back to my referral account over the phone with sprint. I have heard people do it, but some also hit brick walls
guess I will call the sero line direct, and take a shot that way,
thanks for the help guys

Sprint is so arbitrary these days, made a few calls today, and now they state, on three separate calls that since I have a referral account that the upgrade price is $299, and even over the phone all referral accounts also require the $36 activation fee
I even brought up the $100 difference with amazon, and all three reps stated that the upgrade price differential is due to the difference in the monthly rate.
Maybe I am too nice or something, as I keep getting screwed by sprint reps over the last few months
I mean at that price and tax, its basically $400, local Craigslist is $500, why go on contract for only $100 savings
Sorry for the rant

My bad, I priced the phone at the amazon price. Your right about the sprint price of $299 for sprint. One way to get $100 off the price is calling retention and asking them for a customer loyalty credit. I've gotten that credit for my last 2 upgrades. This way at least it's technically only 199. Good luck

Phones at that price on craigslist are usually bad or its too good to be true. When a gs3 sells higher than that I highly doubt a note 2 at 350 is legit.

[Q] Best price found on SGS4

So I haven't seen this type of thread yet, I was at my local Walmart and the tag was there but no phone, not even the dummy. It was listed for 198.88* and the * meant with qualifying upgrade or new agreement (2yr contract). I left there and dialed 611 and asked for retention to the bot operator. Once I got through, they wouldn't budge from 149 down and 20 bucks a month deal. I've been a T-Mobile customer since it was Voice Stream and the rep noted that, but still wouldn't budge. She suggested I go third party, but even at that route, I am not eligible for full upgrade until November. I have an old grandfathered family plan and I won't ditch it for the new plans just to get this phone, I'd buy a S3 before that happened. Anyway, has anyone gotten or found any better deals, Costco, Sam's (I didn't have time to stop in while on lunch).

In your case, since its a yera before you can upgrade, your best option is to buy off contract, waiting may have a drop in price, but how long to wait. At the rate Samsung has been releasing Galaxy series devices, it will be 6 months before we see the Note 3 or S5 lol. Wirefly may have deals, but third party seems to be an alternative. And if the sales rep is nice or want to make a sale, maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel for you.

May I ask how much you are paying for your data now? Do you have any promotions on data, like loyalty/BtV?
I'm aware that the regular rates for data under the Classic is $20 for 2GB (cheapest one). If you were put on the Bridge to Value, I believe that goes down 50% ($10). If you also got a loyalty discount like me, it is $5; and actually, that is $5 for 5GB of 4G/LTE data for each line - this is the Preferred deal through the loyalty department.
I'm asking because when I tried to upgrade our phones (we haven't upgraded in 4 years), we would lose those promotions ($5 goes back to $20). If you already pay $20 and this won't affect you, then just buy it cheap at Walmart. If you do have those promotions like me, you should have the option online from my.t-mobile.com to do the EIP plan and keep your plans and services unchanged.
Hope that helps.

Costco is $199.99 for 2 years. Unfortunately they don't have them in stock nor will they know when. My guess is May 15th, when all the 3rd party stores receive stock (keeping fingers crossed). I am actually willing to wait this time, save over $400!

Are you all on the old Classic plan still?

No more deals in phones from tmo anymore - period. Costco supposed to have by the 8th

We have my faves still (free lol), unlimited text, 1000 family minutes shared between 5 lines currently, and after the wife and I added data for just us, our minute usage went from nearly 800-900 minutes use to maybe 100 give or take.

So am I. Contract was originally expiring this month (May 2013). Called them back early March and thinking of quitting early, but offered some great deals (almost fooled me!) and I extended my contract (now ending 2015). There were some hiccups along the way, concerning how I can upgrade my phone and what was offered. After multiple calls the next few days, we ended up with what I think is a good deal.
So I have 4 lines on my account.
Classic 1000 Whenever Minutes - $60 (Shared)
Preferred Unlimited Texting - $15 (Shared)
Preferred Android Web (Unlimited Data up to 5GB of 4G/LTE) - $20 ($5 Each Line)
Add a Line fee - $10 ($5 for 2 additional lines)
Loyalty Discount = -$10
Corporate Discount = -$15
_______________________ TOTAL MONTHLY BILL: $80 + taxes. Not bad huh?
I'm looking at ~$2600 (include taxes) for my T-Mo service for the next two years.
Then I have to factor the cost of the phones. All 4 of my lines were using crappy old dumb phones. We haven't upgraded in over 4 years! So we got a Nexus 4 ($350), S Relay ($250), S3 ($300 total), S4 ($650?) = ~$1600. Now I just have to figure out how to lower the cost of that S4.

That's a good deal, I think I pay 90 for the wife and I, I just added a line for $10 for my son, and I split the bill with my parents, they just have voice lines with text and myfaves. Buying the phones up front and having a plan that is grandfathered and technically out of contract is where you save in the end. Follow the unofficial tmobile blog, http://www.tmonews.com/ good intel there and updated often.

Nexus 4 and S Relay were bought in Best Buy off-contract. I got them to price match. The S3 was bought through T-Mobile, as a new added line on my account for the discounted Classic price of $149-$50 rebate. It's been over 30 days so I plan on cancelling that line and pay the ETF of $200, which brings the cost for the S3 to $300. I am planning on doing the same with the S4, but the trick here now is patience. To be able to profit, I would need to wait on the price to come down. It is still $299 with 2-year contract. I'm not even considering places like Amazon and Walmart because of other complications. They also charge their own fees if you cancel early - this is because they earn commissions when activating or upgrading a carrier's phone, thus they can give instant discounts. BB does not have this policy (as of today at least).

Like I said, if buying the phones up front just to save a bit on the monthly bill doesn't save me a lot of money in the long run (over 2 years), then it's not worth it. Plus, it's not like everyone has $6-700 lying around to buy a phone for full price upfront. I had to find the cheapest good phones (Nexus 4 and S Relay). I am also adamant about keeping my current Classic plan and all the loyalty promotions and discounts. However, for my S4, I got them through the EIP. I paid the $200 down payment including taxes, and then $20 for two years. That brings the total cost to $680 for the phone.
I can't afford to pay that whole amount right now. It's too much. I gotta take the hit over 24 months. Now, I do have 14/20 days to see if there are better alternatives. one of which is that S3 approach.

I had grandfathered plan at $20 for 5 GB and one option in the order page was to retain your plan as is - which I did. Do not know if they would maintain the $5 - $10 plans if you select that option, but it stated that no change would be made to the extended plan.
If that was the case, you get the best of both - 2 more years at the low rates and the phone for $200.
