Why is this credit here?
I would think Verizon would have better answers than we would. $615 sounds like full price for an S3 ($599.99 + tax).

Don't question them. Buy a Note 2 and sell your S3.
I just want to say do you really think Verizon will forget they mistakenly have to 600 bucks? They will find out at some point and charge you for it.

If this is an accounting error you can expect it to be corrected. If it was me I would not spend that or you may owe them some money.

Technically he wouldn't owe them d*ck... They made the mistake and he was clueless about it he didn't think of the reasons why the credit was there and spent the money... So what? Their fault their problem... If anything they might wanna take that money out of one of their employee's paycheck...
This said, there most likely is a very reasonable explanation about that and it's not a mistake... That's what always happen to me when I get all excited about things like that lol...

Yea who cares about those dirty employees. They make a mistake and they should be punished by losing money out of their paycheck. They're definitely not real people and definitely out to help you 100 percent of the time. That's what kills me. So many people talk about calling into Verizon and "raising hell" abusing the employees. I guarantee half the people here have never worked a customer service job and seen how stressful it is to be yelled out or make a mistake. Maybe instead of exploiting that mistake you should just wait for them to fix it. The worst part about working for verizon or any other company like it is that you make a mistake it comes right out of your pocket. You use that credit and you take money from someone else for making an honest mistake. I'm glad to know that there's people just ready and waiting to exploit verizon and by extension the employees. And the reason they are so ready to do this is because Verizon owes them something. Entitled ignorant customers, contrary to what that employee who's gonna lose 615 dollars is gonna be forced to say, I thank you for being the worst part of verizon.

Hardware manufacturers cannot sell wireless service. Google owns Motorola. Google cannot buy T-Mobile.
so i managed to talk this guy down on a samsung note a few days ago. box and all for a very good price. well today he calls me asking if it would be cool if he filed a claim on the phone saying he lost it. i told him no way! i also said that i have the box with his name and # labeled on it and that i would in no way support him if this comes down bad.
i guess my question is...if he tries to scam att or the insurance company what will happen? i rooted and unlocked it and use tmobile. just want to know if this is gonna come back on me.
he had other calls on the phone and wanted make a few extra bucks doing this scam...
not cool.
You should be fine, AT&T to my knowledge doesn't block IMEIs on lost/stolen phones. There is also no network collaboration between TMO and AT&T for IMEI blocking either, so you'd be doubly fine on T-Mobile.
It's definitely fraud on the part of the seller though.

Then you shouldn't worry. You've got more than enough evidence to prove you got the phone legitimately. If he tries to pull an insurance job, he'll be the one to get busted since you have proof you bought the phone and not nicked it.

Do you think Samsung will ever put Ice Cream Sandwich on the charge or we stuck with Gingerbread? if not, Will the developers here ever be able to develop ICS for the charge? The reason I ask is because the new Verizon contracts eliminate unlimited data and in order to keep it, I'm looking at buying phones outright to avoid signing a new contract. I know things can change between now and next spring when I become upgrade eligable, but I don't feel so lucky.
If Verizon does not change plans do you think it's worth looking at Sprint or is this a downgrade network and/or equipment wise?
Mike
ICS is working on the phone...sorta. CM9 is almost fully functional, but there's no mobile data, so it isn't usable as a daily driver. For it to become fully functional, the RIL needs to be fully cracked, and there's just no motivation for devs to work that hard on the RIL this phone. It's bleeding users (me including), and no other phones (other than some prepay variants) use the same radios, so there's really not much to gain. I don't think jt has given up, but I just don't think it's a priority.
I'd bet money that Samsung/Verizon will never release ICS. There isn't enough room for a TouchWiz version of ICS on /system, and you can bet that they won't release a Google Experience version.
Edit: You can do like I did and check out swappa.com. I bought a used device from there and had a fantastic shopping experience and got a great phone in great condition for a fair price. Can't say enough good things about that site.
Thanks. I kind of expected as much. This phone is getting kind of old. I still have it as I refuse to upgrade if I don't have to.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app
I'm in the same boat right now. I have unlimited data and don't want to give it up, but paying for an un-subsidized phone is just insane. Really wish we had ICS on our phones, but I'm still hoping and praying that a dev could help us poor souls

That doesn't mean you're the only one that can read the reply. In an open discussion, responses are read/heard by everyone, and things said can often be more for the benefit of everyone else rather than the person it's directed at. It's a very common debate tactic to speak to the audience through your opponent, but it's useful in any open discussion. He quoted you because yours was the most relevant post.
Plus, you were talking about being scared of being taken on CL, so he was offering some very relevant advice.

I bet those corporate bastards are gonna feel stupid now! I'd really like to see the look on the face of some of those people who implemented or contributed to the locked bootloader policy (at least for the SGS3). It took about a month for it to get unlocked, they must have spent more time among all their people to lock down millions of these phones, that's probably why Verizon released theirs last, later than anybody else, before they even knew there would be a supply delay, I now realize it wasn't a good, educated guess on the delay that all the other carriers had. I'd like to ask those immoral idiots "what ar you gonna do now, you a**holes"?

Samsung makes like 10% of their sales to Apple, so its a close relationship otherwise. Although if they grew a pair, now would be a time to "complicate" the relationship because the iPhone 5 would be quite delayed, killing their sales, and some of the fan base who are looking to upgrade soon.

10% wouldn't make a huge deal to Samsung, the best thing they could do now is hit Apple where it hurts the most: cripple their iPhone 5 production without much prior notice by not selling them parts, and we'll see who the ***** is then. I wish one of Apple's supply companies would put them in their place so they can see how dependent they are on other companies even though they keep sueing them. Apple doesn't make anything on their own as far as hardware like Sammy or Moto do, so they wouldn't get very far if others started treating them the way Apple treats others, then they'd figure out how dependent they really are. Someone's knocking on the door, I better go it's probably the Apple police looking for people that don't blindly think they're great, lol.
