Buying One At Full Price Extends Contract?

Ba-GEEZUS!!! Ordering one of these SGS3s on T-Mobile web site even at full price will extend my contract with them for two years!
What?!?!
I understand buying one at a reduced price, two year contract is needed to make up the cost, but if I wanted to buy one a full price, shouldn't they just sell me one? Without extending my contract?
BTW, I'm coming from a SGS2.

They're not supposed to extend your contract if you're buying it at full price

That's bogus!!!

Yeah it it! I didnt follow through with the sale, but the verbiage does say up to that point that it DOES extend the contract.
I think I just need to go into a T-Mobile stores.

Buy it and go to straight talk/Simple mobile

Last week on T-Mobile website, I saw a discount of around $115 if I extend my contract to 2 years, but without contract extention I pay the full price. I was just 1 year through my current contract. Since I want to get the phone right away, I went to a T-Mobile store and they put me on value plan at $74.99 5GB from my previous Classic plan of $79.99 2GB. I paid $229.99+tax outright and $20 monthly payments for 20 months and my contract extended to another 2 years. Seems to me a really good deal to have 5GB plan at a lower monthly rate and the installment spread out in 20 months without interest if you are to pay full price. They also waived the $18 upgrade fee.

I bought mine at full price with my 30 dollar prepaid plan. The guy at the store was having some issues entering it into the system but the manager was able to complete the process

same here.. im on the monthly 4g plan and had no problem purchasing at full price, i have no plans for a contract with t-mobile

i bought mine at full price on a value plan and didn't have to extend my contract.

Lost phone found now what?

So my sister lost her Sprint Galaxy S II phone a couple weeks ago and got one on insurance. Then this weekend she found it stuck in a blanket in her closet. Is there anything she can do with it? I'm guessing another sprint user couldn't use it now but maybe flash it for a cricket user or something?

That phone can no longer be used, once you tell the insurance its lost or stolen its deactivated permanently from what I understand. And since they replaced your phone you have to send in your old phone if it's ever recovered. Imo it is immoral to file a insurance claim in order to profit from a company, just like if you filed a car claim to make money. You haven't done this yet but that's what you are asking how to do.

Regardless of what people say. If you report a lost phone to insurance it does not get blacklisted unless its reported stolen or you directly call Sprint to report it. I lost my og epic and the person who found it called one of my contacts and returned it. My bro uses the phone on his line till this day no problem.. And all he did was call customer service to do an esn swap. Phone was not flagged or anything..

It sounds like you've made your decision. Fraud isn't worth the risk to earn a few extra bucks to me.

If it were me I'd keep it. Extra toy.

I would think that because it came out of the box like that, it would be a warranty claim, not insurance. Defective equipment and all that.

yea. i talked to tmobile. they went over that they are sending me a new phone. and all new accessories as i get to keep my old ones too
it is on back order but it will arrive between now and june 13th? and that if its ruled as physical i will be charged $150 for the phone and i get to keep it and continue paying for the old one. blah.

[q] quick circle case with purchase of g3??

IS IT TRUE THAT T-MOBILE IS GIVING OUT THE OEM QUICK CIRCLE CASE WITH THE PURCHASE OF A G3? WHY DON'T THEY LET THE EARLY BIRDS IN ON IT? :crying:

It happens... Same thing happened with the G2, Z, and a few other devices. Verizon had a BOGO after the initial release of the M8. The case isn't the one with charging and it's a snap on(doesn't replace the back).

First off... Calm down... Secondly. Try calling Customer Care and CALMLY tell them the situation. They might send you one (can't guarantee it) if you just bought it recently....

If you try this, let me know if it works

I tried this yesterday but no go.

This a REAL offer or just a rumor?
Because I switched to T-Mobile from VZW last week. Last Monday to be exact... Wasn't offered anything...

Tmobile is offering $50 rebate if you buy LG accessory. I got the LG bluetooth stereo headset $70. Comes out to $20 w the rebate

I spoke to a representative and she wasn't able to do it even though I'm a new customer. She says promotional vary all the time and unfortunately it wasn't being offered when I signed up and that there's nothing she can do. She even escalated it and was told no go.

I think this is the version of the case WITHOUT wireless charging enabled. May want to double check this.

What's this exactly ?
Sent From OnEPluS¹ using Bullet Proof Ak Kernel

I pre-ordered, but there is NO update as to how many orders they've received. I've seen no advertisements for this case anywhere. Unless they get a 1000 pre-orders they won't make the case. AND, what is very strange is they state on their site:
Special condition for production:
This case will go into production when 1000 pcs have been pre-ordered.
In the case we could not reach that amount or were not able to start a production, the money would be refunded.
Two questions spring to mind:
How many pre-orders have they had?
What is their cutoff date to refund pre-orders?
I've emailed them about both and there's been no response from them at all.

very odd i also emailed them regarding the issue of pre-orders and requested that they put a countdown on each device...they replied and stated that they cannot do that due to giving any competition any idea of their ammount they are selling,(which is kinda weird as the only competition i can see is project ara from google...anyways let's hope we can get a thousand oneplus preorders as i am looking forward to seeing this case up close n personal....

well this looks nice but i dont think ill be getting this, they should have them already made not a preorder and have 1000 people in order to start and ship. this looks like a scheme to me seeing how your paying right then and there and if you use paypal you only have 30 days to dispute after that your screwed, unless you use the BBB and even then you never know if you get your money back. to bad they have this 1000 ppl crap because i was ready to buy until i read your posts and their site. the reason the dont want to put it up there is because the order are low and if people see that they would not order, not having the count solves that and their lame excuse about competition is more of an evasive action.
