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

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.

It is on sale now through ATT...

The site is trying to charge me $200, I hope it is a glitch. Apparently non commitment pricing is only $399

Ohhhhhh, what is this Xora and how much will it cost me I wonder?

I can't quite figure it out but I think it is $16.99 a month

This is the breakdown of what Xora is, I wouldnt touch it with a 10 foot pole, hahaha.
http://news.softpedia.com/news/AT-T-Intros-Xora-GPS-Locator-Phone-Tracking-Solution-116128.shtml

Why anyone would want to buy that when HTC SENSE does it for free when you buy the phone is beyond me.
Source: http://www.slashgear.com/htc-sense-online-portal-open-for-desire-hddesire-z-users-07106331/
Quoted directly from HTC press release:
"Ever had a moment when you couldn’t locate your phone, or even left a mobile phone somewhere? HTCSense.com gives users peace of mind should this ever occur. You can easily locate a missing phone by triggering the handset to ring loudly, even if it is set to silent, or to flag its location on a map. If the phone’s been lost or stolen, users can remotely lock the phone, forward calls and texts to another phone, send a message to the phone to arrange its return or even remotely wipe all personal data from it."

This Xora scheme and not offering Unlimited Data is whats killing the company, when will they wake up and realize this?
Iphone isnt the end of the world but its the other 'In' device other than Android phones of course so why not bring back at least unlimited data to prevent people from jumping ship to another carrier?
Its funny, a few days ago I threatened to cancel and they said they couldn't give it to me because I never had it in the first place and to contact corporate.
Why iPhone users are granted exclusivity to that feature is phonecist as well, hahaha. Yeah I know I made up a word.

Anybody figure out how to order off premier and NOT get the Xora crap ?

its $99.99 new or upgrade plan without xora... if it wont let you do it online just go in to the store.

I just got mine for 69.99 at the att store locally. They will price match the website, dont let them say they wont. Also no zora either. 75$ and sum change out the door.

You can also call ATT Premier Services and speak with them directly.
Got my Inspire for 49.99 because I *****ed about " not beign able to order online " due to some glitch with there website.
Been a customer with ATT / Cingular for 8 years now. They may seem like they don't care but trust me, if the first person you talk to gives you ****, just request to speak with a manager and have them pull some strings.
49.99 with no activation fee.. great deal

What glitch were you getting exactly? I'm thinking of calling later and trying to get a deal.

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.
http://articles.boston.com/2011-06-29/business/29718145_1_at-t-deal-at-t-chief-executive-public-hearings
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

Ha, "Screwed, blued and tattooed" reminds me of what Bob said to Ritchie in La Bamba.

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?

For sale - htc one - smashed screen ! Uk

For sale - htc one - smashed screen !
I`m selling my HTC one, I left it sitting on a unit in my bathroom and knocked over the soap dish which could not have hit it any sweeter than what it did, The corner of the soap dish landed slap bang on the center of the screen... The phone still works perfectly, you can make calls etc and all features work as normal,.. except it needs a new screen and digitzer !
The phone itself has a couple of speckles on the back of it, Its the black ONE and I had the htc flipcase on it since new, If you do a google search you will see there are a lot of people that this has happened to with that particular case,. I replaced the case with an otterbox, ironically if I had of still had the htc case on it it would have protected screen...
The phone is unlocked and unbranded, It was bought from phones4u simfree for £490,.. Im open to sensible offers, Im sure it will be an easy fix for someone! It comes with original box, charger and accessories that came with it and original receipt also.
If anyone wants to buy it I cannot post it until wednesday as my new phone is not coming until tuesday! It will be sent royal mail tracked. I can take payment via bank transfer or paypal..
Lastly It has Modaco switch rom installed and if rooted, I can unroot and flash back to stock WWE rom if desired but I would recommend sticking with switch tbh
Any questions feel free to ask !
Images do not seem to be working on this site but you can see them on modaco http://www.modaco.com/topic/364219-for-sale-htc-one-smashed-screen/
