Im getting a s2 tomorrow with a cracked screen. Im ordering a screen off ebay and repairing it myself. I ordered a sim card from t mobile today and they said i can get a insurance protection plan on the phone even though i got it off craigslist. I wanted to know if anyone heard of this? They said its 7.99 a month. Im asking because 3 months from now if it crackes again because i keep hearing stories about it how much to replace it under that plan?

Read the fine print. There is likely a deductible. I've seen deductibles as high as $150
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Deductible for a s2 is 130, and yes its possible to put insurance on a phone purchased outside of T-Mobile at time of activation but as of right now it's only for contracted rate plans. I have heard prepaid will soon have the availability for ins. but nothing currently and no telling when
logged into my 30 dollars a month account and I noticed it it was the option on the bottom..

I'm in California, its law to have a 30 day return policy. Unless they post (in writing) at each entrance and cash register, while clearly explaining such after each purchase. Last time I went to Sprint....I didn't see any signs.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Sprint has signs at the front of all corporate retail locations that state the return policy. Also the contract clearly states the return period and it is given verbally by the sales personnel at the time of purchase. Sprint is well aware of California laws but remember that authorized retailers such as best buy have a 30 day return policy that is only for the device itself. The contract expiration is 14 days no matter where you buy the device from and regardless of what you decide to do with the device itself. (keep it, sell it, return it for refund, throw it in the river, etc) So technically you can return the device after the 14 day contract period for a full refund but you will still be held in contract without the new device active on your line of service. So do all of your evaluations within the first 14 days no matter where you decide to buy your new phone. Just making this clear to some who find this a bit confusing.
Eventually it will

Depends, I guess. Has anyone heard of plans for any hardware revisions? Maybe later on there will be different colors for different editions. To me, this "pubic blew" looks close enough to charcoalish-black that I'm satisfied. I'm putting an ugly otterbox on it anyway.
If you want to buy the GS3 this season there are some deals for AT&T at RadioShack and BestBuy starting this Sunday, more details here: http://gs3central.com/content.php?r=161-Galaxy-S3-Holiday-Deals-Starts-this-Sunday-Dec-16

If your in California they tax you on the full value of the phone, not the sales price. Ridiculous.
It took 4 hours to get mine. Paid 53.49$

2.5 hours to get the wifes at best buy. The worker did everything rite but only could make calls. He seen problems and called att. Got the run around from 4 people and tried 3 sims cards. Finally what went down was a better att rep on phone realized that att itself changed my wife's plan from grandfather unlimited to 3gig limited and tried saying it was always that plan. Well its fixed and still grandfathered in. Best buys paper work had everything rite on it. Att just was trying to kick my wife's plan out and force a diff plan.
But $63 got her the phone.

Their "beast" system crashed , globally, while I was in there and was shut down for about 3 hours until the guy called att on his personal phone and did it that way, had to hand write my contract.
The beast system is their in-store upgrader which communicates with all major carriers but now I'm home playing with the phone it's a downgrade from the one I previously owned, the screen has a blue/ purpleish haze at the bottom of the screen.
I'm not happy at all with this one. I do plan on writing an email to best buy about their terrible service and considering the iPhone 5.
So much for saving $150..
Also after initially waiting in line for 40 minutes they told me I had no upgrade amid made me go to a att store close by and verified that I did then came back and waited another 3 hours till they figured this mess out

Agh, that sounds ROUGH!
I've herd BB called worst buy a bunch of times already. And your experience puts it into perspective.
I ordered a blue ATT 16GB from their website for a line on my family account that wasn't on a 2 year.
You woud have got the upper hand on price cause I payed $58.53. But you had a long wait in line.. And they gave you problems.
What you experienced is why I avoid Black friday, and only go to the store if Absolutely necessary.
I must say, calling ATT or Best buy on a Sunday is the worst way to spend your day.
I wanted to verify with ATT that they knew what was going on, and to make the note on my account
And Just wanted to make sure that Best buy wasn't going to pre-activate the line, or send a text to the phone number. (its a gift)
So i was reading about the kies 4.1.1 jb update and I noticed all the diferentes in the camera filters.
No this current phone does not have those extra options where as the old s3 I had bought and returned a few months ago, and did have the extra options.
What gives??

Saw this phone on best buy for 150 and I'm eligible for a 2 year agreement just wanted to know if any of you guys have bought through best buy before?
If so Does your plan changed in any way whether it would be data?
Reason why I ask is because T-Mobile is always making it impossible for their customers. I see it as a smart investment worse comes to worse down the line I can always opt out and pay that 200 penalty to get out, I would still have my s3.

I hate Best Buy but couldn't resist their low prices so last year I bought 3 phones online. It work out good for me. Not only I end up paying for the phone much less than any other place, but also somehow I didn't have to buy a data plan with those purchases. I have a family plan and that did not change also.
Last week I tried to add fifth line to my plan and I had to add minimum $20 data to new phone so I'm not sure how it is now...

Long time - since there were Voicestream - probably 10 years.
I bought this phone from bestbuy in october since I was eligible for an upgrade and bestbuy had it for way cheaper than tmobile ever did. Only part of my plan that was suppose to change was my data plan but it never did actually change. I still have the same plan I had before purchasing the phone. No complaints
Thanks guys. Yeah its way cheaper than what Tmobile has it right now about 340 with the upgrade. You guys did it through the phone or in person. One rep I was speaking with told me that I can't get the phone in store because T-Mobile doesn't allow it? Is this true or just BS. I was going to get the blaze through T-Mobile but it was going to come out around 184 basically around same price I'm getting the s3 for through best buy.. Not a big Fan of the 4'7 screen but oh well.

I actually did mine online and I had no problems. Bestbuy also gives you the option to add a warranty I think but I'm not to sure since I didn't get one
the issue to consider is that BB will sell you the 2 year plan, which continues the "subsidy" (we all know it's baked into the monthly price, RIGHT?) even after you pay of the phone. Consider a tmobile store - and a value plan, where there is more of an up front cost (possibly), but the value plan is a purchase of the phone as a transparent process, and when it's paid for (20 months?) you keep the phone, and the monthly price drops.
If you can do a "small buisiness" plan - go for that! $40 per month to 1000min and unlimited (5GB at 4G speed). $50 for unlimited/unlimited. Add $20 for phone, and stll cheapest way to go...
Merry Christmas

No zero down mean you don't need to pay for it now. So instead of making you have down payment right now they put that payment toward the monthly payment plan.
Say you want S4, instead of 150 down and 20x24 totaling 630, you pay 0 down and 25x24 total of 600. $30 saving. Not bad. .
But phone like HTC one, you'll be paying 0 down and 25x24 total 600 instead of 80 down (Web)and 20x24 total of 560 normally. Cost you $40 more.
Over all tmobile is being aggressive lately. .

That's annoying as hell.
I just talked to a Loyalty rep this afternoon to change plans and waive fees, who told me about this promotion. I asked him three separate times if the lack of down payment came back on the back end, by either increasing monthly payments or adding months, and every time he told me, No, it's $20 for 24 months.
I'm getting my Note II tomorrow, and I guess I'll see what happens with my next bill.

Also depends on which state you're in. I'm in California so I pay tax on the full retail price of the phone. Oregon I believe pays no tax. Just really all depends on the state

I switched from sprint a wk ago and went in this morning and was refunded $150 for one s4 and $150 bill credit for another. Also u have to b in the "A or B" credit bracket in order to qualify for the zero down. And for each line u open there is still a $50 charge for taxes. So 4 lines is $200 plus $10 per sim kit (new costomers).
I think thats about right.

Yes you do pay extra on the back end for it being no money down, but a lot of people do not want to pay a dime upfront so for them, this is good.
