Hello together
My trial apparently ends at midnight tonight and hasn't renewed itself yet.
Given that there are other services that offer more and are still free and that iPhone users only have to pay once, I am not so happy paying a yearly fee.
Especially as I am only using it with half a dozen people.
Now I was wondering if it actually expired anywhere? I haven't read a single user anywhere actually stating that his ran out and didn't work anymore.
So either everybody is prepared to pay and Whatsapp system worked (get people to subscribe and then once it has spread charge fees... which I know was announced from the start but they themselves didn't even know if it would ever happen) or it automatically renews itself after all.
Any experiences?
The second question would be:
does it really work to renew using an iPhone? If so, must Whatsapp be uninstalled and reinstalled on the iPhone? Because if so, wouldn't that mean I would have to pay to buy the app for me and then rebuy it for my friend who had to uninstall it?
Hope you guys can help me. I'm curious as to people's experiences.
My subscription has nearly run out multiple times but never expired they have always extended it.

Mine says it expires on the 9th of April 2013
AW: Did Whatsapp actually expire for anyone?
apparently whatsapp decided to actually charge for their service now.
was announced end of 2012 and was to be implemented jan/feb 2013
so i'm afraid it looks like it will actually expire tonight
Mine was to expire on 28th feb, got renewed 4 days ago till the month of May.
Hey what are your numbers, add me
AW: Did Whatsapp actually expire for anyone?
hmmmm
maybe whatsapp decided to renew some but not all?
i'll see in roughly 9 hours
might have to switch to chatON or something then...
Mine was supposed to expire on the 15th of this month... It's been extended till the same date next year automatically...

Lol they always extend it for me during last week or two. I've had 4 extensions till now. I'm on last month, let's see if they extend it or not. But its really cheap so it doesn't matter. But its kind of funny how they always extend it after continuous warnings

Last time they give me 7or8 months more time and now i have 1 month to go. Let's see what happens this time...

AW: Did Whatsapp actually expire for anyone?
mine just expired
did not renew itself.
cannot even change my status. and people sending you messages are not being informed!
cannot even delete my account. server not working :what:
extends service in my case
Dont try to pay through iPhone. It doesnt work.
I used my sim on iPhone and paid for the app and when i switched sim back on to S2 i still had the same expiry date and in the end i had to email WhatsApp support telling them what i did and that i wasnt gonna pay again and they extended me for another year:thumbup:
BTW this thread shouldnt be in themes and apps mate.

Same! Mine was supposed to expire last year on September 29th, now Sept 29th 2013.
AW: Did Whatsapp actually expire for anyone?
why not? it's about the app. where else should i have put it ?
the trial expiration wasn't introduced until this year.
last year they were all renewed. mine was too. but now it seems it does expire.

AW: Did Whatsapp actually expire for anyone?
i wonder how many people actually decided to pay the fees?
i mean, the business model was genious.
get people to register and use it believing it is free. by the tine they realize that they might have to pay one day they have already spread the word.
then they get free renewal and think it'll stay that way.
more and more people use it although it is not secure and will not remain free.
nevertheless nobody is prepared to use alternatives.
just goes to show that if done correctly you can make people pay for anything even if they could have it for free.
Just like drugs, first few samples on the house till you are hooked

Mine just got extended to 13/03/2014 Been extended a good few times before this as well but never for as long as a year, usually just a couple months.

And they are kept scamming every couple minutes, making me unfollow in an hour
I ended up canceling from them due to their dodgy behaviour... voiding/canceling coupons, requesting more money... saying that everyone has paid up but me, but then in their blog it says people need to pay up... whatever.
I ordered from Expansys and I already got a shipping number and Fedex says its on the truck.

i will have mines on saturday from them..
you act following someone on twitter will kill you.lol. **** i hope i win !
Shameless self-bump.
I can only hope I might get picked. My fiancee isn't too keen on letting me buy one...
Im pretty happy with it,
its nice..
i had planned on getting a a500, but after playing at BB, the 10.1 is just too big for my hand and for use while im working (usps mail driver), the 7 inch is perfect.
they had a deal going on where u get 100 dollars off when u sign up for a mobile broadband device, so i did with the att elevate, but i will be taking it back within the 30 day return window, i got the device for 1 dollar on a price match because they did not have the verizon one i wanted and were not getting anymore in, the device was i think 80 dollars originally..
i think i really scored on this device.
i already put the gen1 update on it, and have it fully up to date on 3.2.1 2004.7 file when before with gen 2 it said it was up to date on 3.2
im very pleased.
i was going to root it, but since there arent many roms or other things for it, i dont think i will.
That sir is a steal at that price! The gen1 update seemed to help a lot on mine. Rooting can be beneficial as well. You can remove some of the "bloat" Acer installed from the factory as well as run crossix' custom build.prop. Between those two modifications it has become very smooth and responsive. And the battery life has improved some as well.

You might want to check out Best Buy's return policy on promotions. If the AT&T deal is anything like the HP Touchpad promo from a couple months ago, you will be charged the full amount for the tablet if you return the wireless device. Just a heads up.

Yes, you absolutely will be charged the normal MSRP if you return the "broadband card" as they call it internally.

Exactly! The $100 off was based on the other purchase with its monthly bandwidth. If you return it, it's like canceling your data plan on your phone. You pay the full price.
Is really cool.
Thought I would post this here since the inc2 is my current phone. Not sure if it has been discussed yet.
I downloaded the siriusxm app about a month and a half ago. I sign up for the one week free trials alot whenever there is a special broadcast that I want to hear using my emails or a disposable email through 10 minute mail. I have mainly used it on my pc where the trial expires after a week.
Well last time I signed up I did it through the free trial button on the app itself. After 1 week I got a popup that said your trial has expired click here to subscribe. So instead of hitting ok I hit the back arrow to exit the app. I opened the app again and it has been working for almost 2 months now nonstop. I play it all day at work for 8+ hours and I use the same login on multiple devices (droid inc1 and 2, 2 droid eris and an acer iconia a500 tablet) No popups or problems at all.
Just thought Id share.
It not a hack or a mod really just a glitch in the app so I figured it would be cool to share my experience. i have told about 10 people so far who are all really thankful and enjoying it while they can.
Awesome. I love it in my car but didn't want to pay thw extra for the phone. I will have to try.

also does anyone know how the app identifies a user as having used the trial or not? is it by email address, rom, android phone id, phone number, meid? it would be nice to know so that it can easily be modified or spoofed. i already pay for this **** in my car. i dont get why i gotta pay for it again to hear it at home..
I just downloaded the app from the play store
as stated above I use it on multiple devices
2 droid eris phones
1 droid inc
1 droid inc2 and
my acer a500 iconia tab
as well as my netbook and pc
all on the same free trial that I used 10 minute mail for a disposable email address
singed up using my first name and only last initial
it has now been working for over a month and a half after my free trial was suppossed to end on all my devices
I have told lots of people about it and it is the same outcome for them as well.
Just thought I'd share my story.
Although 1 coworker said it worked on her computer and android phone but not on her ipod. HA!!!
Don't mind you discussing the App guys, but please keep any posts detailing the bypass method out of the thread
Cheers.

K. I just downloaded this.I have been wanting to use it on my phone instead of moving my xm radio from my work van to my personal truck.So hopefully this will work out.

Hi,
The tracking number for my order still says "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."
It has been more than 72 hours, can you please check and let me know the status of my order. Thank you.

That's bull crap haha. I read somewhere else they said because of tropical storm Issac, they shipped it out yesterday. Company is shady. I just filed dispute on PayPal and escalated the claim.
They probably just printed the labels and have it sitting there.
Also that same guy said he can't find my order lol. Great and stellar computer system they have there. Also their twitter page is a joke.

Hey guys,
So yea I also ordered the GS3 from this site, and received an email and tracking number about my package. I am as eager as you guys, trying to be patient. So is this deal a fake and was just a scam for our money? Or are they truly experiencing shipment issues?
I am just so tired of waiting, its been a fricken week!!!! I ordered my case on thursday, and expected it to arrive after my phone, but it ended up delivering monday. Now this is a JOKE!

Idk, they say it was delayed because of the tropical storm during the weekend? Wtf lol, ups said it was fine no delays soooo. haha
Like dkotagi said, they probably did the shipping labels so they can receive thefunds, so yaaa.
Im guessing they took our money and taking showers with it right now. Replies from support is awful. Takes them 2-3 days to reply back which is lame.
Dude i couldnt wait, so i just disputed the payment on paypal. And i just bought one off amazon wireless for 549.99 no tax free 1 day shipping for me. Checked ebay around the same price so i didnt really care
Getting my sgs3 tomorrow!
hopefully paypal does something because they have until sept 9 with paypal or i get my money back

Im not so sure what to believe.
I have read some good reviews about 1SaleAday, but they all talked about the elongated shipping period. And it might be coincidence that the storm effected it, but I think its a plausible excuse.
SO, I shall WAIT. I will be pulling my hair out, but till then, patience is my new best friend!!! And, I did use American Express, which has a policy of 30 days to ship my product, if not, I'll get my money back. So either way I'll wait. And if I have to wait so long, I might end up waiting for the release of the NEW Samsung Galaxy Note II!!!!
But thats in October... *pulls hair out*

well it barely hit florida. So they are just lying out of their ass.
If left florida during the weekend? so they couldve shipped any day this week and on thursday and friday. So i wont play this waiting game. Id rather just dispute the transaction than wait 3-4 days for a email response every 3 days.
Simply WOW!!
So now I have to wait for another 7-10 BUSINESS DAYS for it to process!! That will be Sept 17 and then you can add 15 Business days shipping time. Looks like we may have to wait till October. I am opening a dispute with PayPal. I am done dealing with these guys. See below for their latest reply:

Hey I hadn't seen this posted yet so I figured i'd go ahead.
Power A has a promo going on to celebrate Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour's release with a free controller promo:victory:! (And a copy of the game but let's face it, you know you're more interested in a Bluetooth controller.)
You have to pay S&H and it's for the US only, but I suggest grabbing one. It came out to a little over 5 bucks for me.
Use the promo code "SecretSanta" and you're good.
Only good today. (Well tomorrow till noon cuz they got pounded earlier and took the site down.)
