Wth.. I just bought it 3 weeks ago for $330 (with included $50 mail in rebate) *sighs*
Upgrade not included, right?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I think the $99 is for those on value plan and they get that money back via rebate but they still pay 20 a month for the phone for 2 yrs
Edit: never mind looks like the deal is also for classic plan if ur new customer, anyone know if it applies for upgrade as well?

I spoke to two CSRs today. This is only available to those adding a new line of service. Bummer...
I tried on Fri. Its only for new customers or adding line but since I ve been with thtm for 4 years I got it for the 279+50 rebate plus they cancelled my next month bill so I got a free month of service:

That's one thing that frustrates me about T-Mobile. They're ALWAYS doing amazing deals for new customers but never do much of anything for existing customers. I want to upgrade my wife's line and I can get a cheap standard flip phone for free or pay $100 for an old outdated MyTouch Q (which seems like an absolute waste of using an upgrade) or pay ~$300 for a SGS3 for her.

I've been with T-Mobile for 10 years and they have been fantastic. They offered me the 10gb data plan with mobile hotspot for $30 a month today. I'm still thinking about it, I have the new truly unlimited for $30 a month right now. I'm 10 days outside the 14 days you have to get the insurance and the customer service representative told me that today but still gave me the insurance for being a premium customer.

I'm soo thinking about calling them back about that deal. They said there only offering it for a short amount of time for premium customers. I hit 7gb last month. I just like knowing that I have unlimited data. Can we not tether like we could with the S II? I member all I did was delete tethering provision and it worked. But they did say with the truly unlimited plan tethering is not allowed.

me too man... Oh well, I LOVE THIS PHONE :good:
I just added a second line to my account last Wed, and i got the S3. Friday i see the deal online and am pretty pissed that i just paid $348 for the phone and not 2 days later its $99. I call them and get tossed around all weekend and no help on being compensated for the difference. The only thing they said i could do was to send it back wait for the return process to go through, then buy a third line for that price. Complete Bull**** that they cant just credit me the difference(not including the rebate). The return process itself would take a week i was told, so i would be without a phone for 1-2 weeks. I am just shocked at their process for this. I love the S3 that i have, but come on.

The main monitoring occurs on the network not the device level. Essentially they are monitoring the user agent of the outgoing traffic.
One easy way to circumvent their tethering blockage is to use a 3rd party tethering app and change your user agent on your internet browser to android or iPad/iPhone. Both Chrome and Firefox have extensions that easily let you change your user agent.
Confirmed working for me on the unlimited 4G plan using Chrome and WiFi tether.
179.99
It's worth noting for those who don't know that Bestbuy sells an upgrade to t-mobile customers for $179.99

Friday? Doesn't T-mobile run the same sales nationwide? I went in Friday and got the 16GB for $149 and got a $149 mail in rebate. Have to pay $40 tax(they tac the full price of the phone) but that's still just $40 for it.
I am pretty sure its only an online deal only... cause when I found out I couldnt get the 99 deal on mytmobile.com i called them and that's when I got the loyalty deal

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.

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.

Not at all except for the wait. They r very slow at my store. BUT... When they refund the money u will get the$50 tax per phone back as well. BUT.. u will have to pay that back up front. Ull receive the refund 48-72 business days later.

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.
Just wondering...
Mine came out to $60 up front... and ($25 a month on the EIP)
only thing is, i average $25+ a month in discounts from work and AAA for tmobile which basically is paying for my phone..
I paid 199 plus the 25 a month, but I came from At&t so with more data and minutes plus phone still coming out a lot cheaper.
I paid like $225 (something like that) and $15 a month, more up front but less a month.

Yeah I can't really argue that possibility. It was a middle aged lady who had me come into her office at work to get the phone and had a whole legit story for why she was selling it. Usually the janky ones want to meet in a Lowes parking lot at like 11pm and they roll up on a lowrider bicycle so I felt confident enough to go through with it.

I paid no down payment, only the "sales tax", which came out to around $60. My monthly bill, which includes Unlimited Everything, JUMP, and the $25 EIP, is now going to be $108/month. Not too bad. Before I switched to the new no-contract plan, I was paying $109/mo for my old classic plan, which only included 2gb of data & 1000 minutes & unlimited txt.
So the way I see it, I'm paying $108/mo for unlimited everything and the ability to trade in my phone for a newer phone every 6 months. Which is probably the best plan I've ever had.
Paid $582 outright (no tax+ shipping) thru overseaselectronics.com. Wanted to keep my $30 prepaid plan.
I paid no down payment just for sim card and taxes and shipping which came about to like $70 and $25 for the eip

I recently purchased a blue HTC One at Best Buy the other day. Had them on sale for $49.99 with new 2-year agreement. What I did was add a new line to get it at that price. Going to sell my S4 and then canceling the old line and paying the ETF with what I get for the S4. I'm midway through previous contract on old line, so the fee should only be about $230. Only thing that sucks, is that I have to tell everyone I know I have a new #. I could probably switch the numbers on the phones, but ETF would higher canceling the new line. Plus I don't think they would let me get away without paying some kind of fee if I canceled the new line because I got a brand new phone out of it. Anyhow, paying ~$300 for a new HTC One this way is a lot better than paying upwards of $600-$700 IMO.

doubt it, by cancelling that line, you give up that number and it automatically is pulled from circulation for a period of time.
