http://win.howifuze.com FAKE???

Is this site fake? I have not heard of anyone at all winning anything from here...not even a worthless wallpaper or ringtone download. Has anyone heard anything at all that makes this site legit? Is it a waste of time?

Yes, it's legit, sponsored by HTC.
HTC even sent one Fuze to Engadget Mobile, and one to WMExperts, to each giveaway on their own sites -- although the giveaways for those are already over. Take a look here:
http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/fuze_sweepstakes_extravaganza.html

It's not fake. It's real. You only win when they pick. This is how it works. You do the thing, and someone actually decides, "Ok, this next click will be the winner," but you never know who that is or when that will happen >.> It's gay. It seems impossible to win, but you could always ask the 1 person that did lol. It's 1 in "The whole population of the US" change you have.

So what you're saying is...there's nothing anyone can do to match the 3 spinning phones. They just make the 3 match whenever they feel like it. Even if it's just for a ringtone or a wallpaper. Sad

Isnt that the point of a sweepstakes contest? There nice enough to give 1 Fuze a day away and 5 ringtones and 5 wallpapers for the next 3 months daily. If you dont like it , dont play it.

seems fugazi to me

i dont know if its legit or not says 6-8 weeks a long time, i somehow matched all 3 phones and they said i won what do you guys think has there been any other winners?

NICE! I have been playing ever since it started and haven't wont anything.

It's legit... I've actually won a phone
I was playing off/on for a month or two and one day I won the fuze, just got it about a week ago too. I won it on Jan 20th, and it only took about 4 weeks or less to get to my house.

haha keep trying i didnt actually think anyone could win this game but i did somehow. Did they ever send you a tracking number or anything?

I didn't get a tracking number, it just showed up one day.

How does that work? I never had to put my address in, how will they know where to send it?

They ask for your adress and zip code after you win

So I just won a stupid ringtone.

Can someone explain

I just saw [email protected] commercial saying [email protected] and tmobile will be working together to provide you with better coverage no matter where you are. Sounds like there bought,i called tmobile twice and they told me tmobile has been bought. So why when i asked people around here they say its not true. I don't wanna believe it but i guess its true.

Google search is your friend.

The deal has not been approved by the FCC, so at this point ATT has not purchased T-Mobile.
The ad you describe is likely just an attempt by ATT to influence public opinion in their favor.

Thx i googled but got every answer you could think of , i got a feeling from the last few quarters i read about T-Mobile struggling to stay a float i didn't know it was that bad.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure T-Mobile has been in the red for years, not just for a few quarters. Their parent company would just bail them out though because they are a huge multinational but I guess they're tiring of it. T Mobile USA is like that under achieving little brother who always gets himself into trouble.

According to that article I linked if they do merge ATT would hold 80% of the US market. Hard to predict how the FCC will decide, but that clearly would severely impact competition. In any case it looks like a decision is a year away.

Samnada if it's approved were all gonna be ****ed higher prices and innovation of new devices will suffer.I guess if it happens 80% of people gonna have the freakin iphone in Chicago damn near everyone i see got one.

I don't believe T-Mobile has been in the red, not for a long time if at all. I was under the impression they've been, and continue to be, profitable - just not as profitable as DT would like. Going back through the years we see profits of $130 - $500+ million per quarter.

Honestly I hope the merger is not approved so T-Mobile will receive the cash, spectrum and roaming agreements that AT&T has committed to providing in case of a breakup. I have nothing against AT&T other than their arrogance, overly-congested network, unscrupulous advertising tactics and arguably the worst customer service known to man.

If ATT ends up with 80% we'll be

Sensation undelivered - help me deal with the frustration

I bought my Sensation from ebay 7 days ago and, according to the parcel tracking, it's on board a delivery truck doing the rounds at the moment.
And I have to go to work in 5 minutes. Which means I will miss the delivery, the post office will be closed by the time I get home, and I'll have to pick it up tomorrow morning.
Any tips to help me deal with the frustration would be welcome... I literally can't wait to get my hands on this thing
Stupid postal service

I would cry

Maybe they'll leave it in front of the door to get stolen.

This happened because you were bad when you were 9 years old.

Why don't you just quit your job and wait at home for the phone.

Drink a bottle of wine and you will be fine

Lol..you guys are too funny

i'd be so pissed. in germany we have PACKSTATIONS. usually located next to grocery stores, one in every larger town. you can order your stuff directly to a station of your choice. the minute your package arrives you're made aware by email or SMS and you can come pick it up whenever you want - all you need is your ID card and a PIN number. plus, it's completely free of charge.

The US can certainly use one of those. And it can also get rid of the whole business day thing delivery services do too.

What's another day of waiting? Don't seem like a big deal to me. You've waited this long you can wait another day. Just get your ass up early tomorrow.

Ask a neighbor to pick it up? And pay them?

My girlfriend went over to my house a few hours after I got to work and it was delivered within ten minutes.
Love her, love the phone

What just happened here? Free data??

Not sure where to post it - I'm quite dumb founded...I have no clue what happened here or why it this way. Anybody ever seen this? I'm obviously not going to call or say anything about it but I'm praying it continues for a few more months before they fix it
Update: I complained about a data outage in my area and they gave me a $5 credit. Then I was on Twitter with an ATT customer care rep for a bit but nothing came out of it and I didn't really have an issue. I don't get how this happened unless they were being super generous. In that case, I'm complaining every month!

No the $5 credit was on my account before the bill hit. I had a $-5 balance and then this was $34 so my current balance is $29. I don't get where the $50 National Credit came from. I want to know only to keep it coming

dont worry, att will catch it and reverse it

Reps can be very generous sometimes. I doubt this will happen each month though.

I was credited $100 one month and got a free micro cell. I had no service what so ever in my house. Just out of the blue mine and my wife's phones quit working. Would have to go outside to get service. All is back working normal.
Fyi: micro cell is junk. Call quality was non existent. I would have 5 bars but it sounded like I was talking to aliens.

I wonder if they're giving out credits to HOX owners like they did with people who bought the Lumia. Might be compensation for the "Customs issue". I'm curious, where did you buy the HOX? At a corporate store or a reseller?

cracked Screen/samsung premium care

Cracked screen almost not usable. I went with the fee premium care. its been approved but i called to see why it hasnt shipped and was told they are trying to get the device, if they dont have refurbished they will try and buy one...So, they have no idea when i will get an device. I was also told that its on back order.. My question is could it be a week or two weeks before i get a device....

I have spent 3 days trying to get them to fix their system and allow me to get premium care. I am probably going to stop trying and just pay if I break it.

The Samsung insurance that costs $199.99?

I respectfully have to disagree with you. I've experienced Apple's customer service firsthand and it's been nothing but great for me. The fact that I can just walk into an Apple store greatly helped but that doesn't change the fact that after a wait, they always resolved any issues I had. (Even some caused by me.) The worst part is that wait though.

Apple has got to be the best customer service that I have ever dealt with. Even getting them to repair a phone was like getting a brand new item in the box. Really quick calls as well.
Samsung on the other hand is a complete disaster. Be prepared to be on the phone a good 2 hours anytime you have to give them a call. Also, their repair service is unbelievably terrible as well. I had to send a Note 4 in like 5 times because the screen was separated completely from the frame after they replaced it. It blew my mind how they couldn't get the screen to stay on the frame being that they made the device. They even acted like it was my fault even though I sent pics the same day I would receive the "fixed" phone.

Didn't take to long. Didn't get original color silver but grey it's not really grey to me though. Looks nice. I had to email Samsung they said they would look into it.
