Sensation Free until 3AM Thursday

Hey all,
T-Mo has a web-only deal right now from 9pm Wednesday until 3am Thursday where the Sensation is free when you add a line. Just an FYI.

http://www.tmonews.com/2011/07/deal-alert-t-mobile-puts-sensation-4g-hd7-and-mytouch-4g-on-sale/

thanks for the info! this could potentially save me a lot of money!
I JUST bought 4 phones from T-Mobile as I switched the whole family over yesterday. If they don't give me money back for buying 2 Sensations and 2 MyTouch 4Gs....Armageddon is coming early.
I cannot believe the employees didn't mention anything. What a waste of time and hundreds of dollars.

Are you freaking kidding me? When I just spent $200? Son of a *****.

EDIT: Please Ignore.

yeaaah, i'm pretty sure the employees didn't know about this deal, especially if it was in a store. Since you know it says 'online only deal'. Good luck trying to get your money back though.

BS i just joined tmobil -_-... $200 bucks

if you dont care about your numbers open up 2 more lines of service, if it was last week you are still witin your buyers remorse

Just called that above number and spoke to a sales rep who already knew what i wanted to do , I was on the even more plus plans, signed a new 2 year agreement and got the phones for free, 2 of them, should arrive on Monday

I get my phones flat out. Been out of contract since they were called Voicestream.
Nice deal for people who want to be trapped by At&t

[Q] Would you make this decision (full price upgrade)

Need to tap into the greater XDA/phone tech junkies hive mind.
My situation:
I currently have a broken SGS2 on AT&T. It works just can't charge the battery while in the phone.
I don't have an upgrade on any of my 8 lines on our account (closest is August).
I am thinking and damn close to getting the HTC one XL but it would costs 450 (200 for phone and 250) for early upgrade fees.
Now to add to it I jut had surgery and going to be stuck on the couch for the next 2 weeks.
What I am asking is you guys with the phone is if you had to pay 450 would you still do it after spending time with the phone.
Most of my use is games browsing and videos.

August isn't far away. I'd buy a go phone and an external charger and wait it out.
But the real question is is the phone worth the retail price? Hell yeah.

This is exactly what you're going to do:
Call and tell them you would like one of your lines to be upgraded early, tell them you've been a loyal customer since XXXX and you need it early. I literally upgrade every year by this method no questions asked. LOL. Asked for the "retention" or "customer loyalty department". They will place the notes on your account for you to be upgraded. After that hang up.
Call back a few hours later and tell the next rep that you would like them to price match Amazon's price for the phone of 174.99 (they have no tax and shipping as well so be sure to mention that), the rep should then charge you for full price of the phone (199.99) but credit your account back like 70 bucks for the additional savings you would have got from using Amazon.
There you have it. You essentially got a one X for 174.99. No upgrade fees, no tax, phone at a great price. Don't have to wait until August either.

Well if you already own an external charger for sgs2, I would put this money on a tablet.
I love my X L but I love it more using it on the run.

good point with 8 lines he should have some pull. I only have 3 and they don't treat me as well

You would think so but I got no where one the phone this morning. They acted like the 250 early upgrade fee was doing me a favor. I am going to give it a shot with customer retention.

It's 119.98 for a new line might be able to trick at&t into it. Plus the requesting an upgrade early has worked for a friend of mine worth a shot.

They literally schedule follow up phone calls to check on me and my new phones and ask if they can do anything for me LOL My above strategy will still work though as I used to use it all the time on T-Mobile. One time I called to cancel with T-Mobile and they gave me unlimited minutes, texting and data, lowered my bill by $10, and upgraded my phone LOL I couldn't leave that place for the life of me. Unmatched customer retention.

The 119 pricing is only for new AT&T customers, but if the rep doesn't know this and just checks the Amazon site, they may be fooled and do it.

Yeah, I sold my iPhone 4S on craigslist for $550 So in reality I only had to shell out $50 for the HOX.

Thanks for the tips gents!
I called and went to the phone prompts to cancellations. Once I had a rep on the line and went through the account auth bs. I simply asked if she could calculate what my ETFs would be today if I transferred my 8 lines to VZW. After the 7 or 8 minutes it took her to come up with the 1025 number she asked why.
I explained that I had a dead phone and that both sales reps in the store and the main sales line had told me I was not eligible for an upgrade and would have to replace the Phone at full cost. I also stated that an ind dealer would match my etf in credit towards new devices.
With out missing a beat she asked me to hold on to see if there was anything she could do and what phone was I looking at.
Long story short she is priority shipping a HOXL white to me for 119 bux flat.
Thanks for saving me some bux all!

Call and talk to their loyalty department. If they don't budge till them to transfer you to the cancellation department. You're taking all 8 lines to Verizon.
They should treat you like royalty if you have 8 lines.
edit: have you considering buying a galaxy nexus for 400? This way you still have your upgrades left for the successor to one x.

Extended Warranties/Insurances

I've been researching different warranties and insurances and mainly looking at now at Ensquared and NegriCare. Both offer regular warranty against defects, and accidental damage. They both also cover lost and stolen. I haven't seen that many reviews or threads about these two, does anyone have any experience in these two companies?

I have no experience with either of these, but are these cheaper than the VZW sanctioned one? I guess what I'm getting at is why bother- if you want insurance just buy the VZW sanctioned version, that way at least you can give verizon crap if you have warranty issues. Just one man's humble opinion...

Verizon gives zero support on the insurance they hock. The insurance is provided by Assurion, if you file a claim you won't spend a second dealing with Verizon. Assurion is a horrible company completely devoid of any integrity. I know several people who have worked in their corporate FP&A, and after speaking about the company with insiders, it would be impossible for me to think less of the organization. If your choice is between burning your money and giving it to Assurion, find a match.

Ensquared is backed by Global Warranty Group... I have them and let me tell ya.. claim filed on 8-17 phone recieved on 8-22 however... I had the 32gb insured and they sent me a brand new in box 16gb... now I'm awaiting a shipment of the actual 32gb... but all in all they are a bbb a+ company .. I am not affiliated with them in any way.. but I am documenting my whole ordeal with them through way of recorded phone calls as well as vlogging my experiences.. I'll update this post with the links once it is all resolved.. but as I stated I got my phone within the allotted time they processed the claim

As long as you don't lose your phones, and more accident-proned, the Best Buy Geek Squad Protection is probably the best bet, albeit only if you bought the device from them.
No deductible--unlimited claims.

I'd have to agree with this. Now I do work for best buy but even if I didn't I would recommend it. It covers everything but lost or stolen and you can do 9.99 a month or 180 for a full 2 years. Even though I have this on my phone I also have Verizons TEP just in case my phone gets stolen or lost because that has happened to me in the past.

have you looked into a rider on you homeowners (if its offered) no questions asked cash payout (for the amount you insured the phone for) only $30 per year for a $600.00 policy from Farm Bureau

Cheaper since its a fixed amount to pay up front and a low deductible while VZW you go through Assurion, monthly payments and a high deductible.

Their coverage seems to be limited at $600, which I don't think it will cover my phone since I bought the 32GB version that retails at $650.

I remember back when I got my iPhone on here I was trying to get insurance I saw these guys http://www.gocare.com/cell-phone-protection/ I didn't look into them much but I saw some good reviews

Doesnt sound all that great. You can get something like global warranty group that has been mentioned for 119.99 or less for 2 years of coverage with $75 deductables that will cover you for lost, stolen, or damaged. If anyone is interested in picking it up I am a dealer for them in Delaware and will provide discounts to anyone who contacts me through the site. $107 to insure your phone for 2 years against everything can't be beat.

Bought my phone via Walmart and bought their insurance. The policy seemed pretty solid. I guess I really can't judge it one way or the other until an issue arises.

Well with best buy there is no deductible

If you buy the two year plan from best buy, it seems to be about the same price as it is from Assurion. I guess it comes down to would you rather have no deductible, or peace of mind if you were to ever lose it or have it get stolen.

I didn't mention how its recognized, I was referencing the fact that someone mentioned it earlier in the thread. We offer it as a cheaper alternative to Asurion. Rarely do we get complaints about them, many more complaints about Asurion.

Update: 8-30-12 received another phone from Global Warranty Group... Its another 16GB.... Will keep you updated as to why I have a 32GB insured and they keep sending me a 16GB.. Same as last time though.. Bnib overnighted. but they didnt know when it shipped or when i would get it.. TBH I wonder if its too late to get Asurion...

Late payment of Verizon bill w/ unlimited plans

This is kinda related to a GS3 because I have that on my plan, anyway, if I have 2 unlimited data plans still on contract, can Verizon do anything, or will they, if I forgot to pay my bill by the due date and it was paid one day late? It was never disconnected or anything, but just wanted to see if a similar thing happened to anyone else and if they know what Verizon does? I'm just mainly referring to whether they can cancel your unlimited data if you paid a day late, or if it's ok since it wasn't very long after te due date.
Thanks

Lol. No. I got laid off during the summer and had a $600 bill. Just call them and work out a plan. I have one unlimited and three regular lines.

Your good as long as you call them to let them know before the automated system gets a hold onto your account.

I was gonna say I pay the moment I get a text saying my account is about to be turned off and not any sooner.
If Verizon wants to let me use my upgrade and keep my unlimited data I will change my mind.
Until I leave them this is my practice.

But it wasn't even 24 hrs past the initial due date, like it was due on the 1st day and I paid right after noon on the 2nd day. There was no sign of any automated system taking a hold of my account, not tha I know the sign of that, and I already paid it. Do I still need to call them to let them know? What do I need to let them know if it's already paid? And if it's already paid, does their automated system still react to it because it was a few hours late?
For those who say they don't pay until they get the email saying they will be disconnected, how long after the due date of your bill do you get that email?
Thanks

Don't worry about paying anything until you get the text. Lol. Then call them. Get the billing department. They can tell you how long you have until they cut you off. If you make an agreement with them the service stays on.

When im hard up for cash I set my priorities
house car insurance food at then late fees credit cards then vzw 5 dollars late fee then I would pay current late total at least half for vzw
Vzw does not report to the big three credit card report companies

lol I cant believe there is a thread on this topic...i guess i should create a guide "how to not pay your bill and keep service on 4.1.2" .

Having worked for Big Red for a couple of years as a CSR/Tech Support (not currently), yes you can go through the automated system and let them know a payment has been "sent" even tho you may not have actually sent one. This is stop them from bothering you for a while. Unless you are extremely delinquent (Past 2+ months), they won't turn your phone off. There's usually a 25-35 re-activation fee per line but you keep your same plan.
I pay late myself just because it works better for my financial situation and changing bill cycle/due date is such a PITA. I highly recommend against it because 99% CS rep don't know how to calculate your pro-rations and end up effing it up, costing you both time and money.

Like I said in another thread. The S3 General forum is turning into an OT-like forum. I don't know if it's age differences (I'm 34) but it seems to me that a lot of people need their hand held for a lot of frivolous things nowadays. Like "should I use a screen protector on my phone?", "I'm thinking about changing phones, need opinions, help!". C'mon. :silly:

That's a lot of money man but the reason my plan is 300$ is because I get Walgreen discount plus a reduction from an issue with Verizon... The store manager put me on a 2yr contract when I signed up with a used phone.. That asshole got me like 40$ of the plan for the first year he hehe.

paying late shouldn't affect your credit, but i would read all the fine print about your unlimited plan. i am on unlimited plan and they do not slow down my speeds and I still maintain the account. I use over 50gb a month so i really need it. always be careful not to lose it.

Can't believe Verizon is doing this to me!!!

I am so pissed. Long story short. I ordered the s6 through Verizon, got the phone and it was great until the 10th day. I started having issues. So I told them and they said they'd send me out another. I told then I absolutely do not want a refurbished phone and they guaranteed me it would be a brand new one. Wtf do i get the next day? A refurbished piece of crap that had scratches all over when 3 different reps assured me they'd be sending me a new one. I called them back pissed.
So after hours of talking on the phone I get them to send me a brand new one that would come in the white box. They told me it would arrive on may 29th(which was 10 days away) because they were all on backorder waiting for the shipment from Samsung. So I've literally been calling every few days asking them what the update is and every time a diff rep just tells me that the order is placed and everything but it's still on backorder. This has happened 3+ times now.
It's been 3 weeks now and I just called again and told them this is it I've had enough and the guy tells me for some reason the order never processed because of some terms and conditions crap so he said he has to figure it out with his supervisor. I can't believe this seriously. Are the people at Verizon the dumbest individuals in the world or am I being toyed with here?

Everyone's experience is different but I come from both sides because I have been through it all with VZW. My mother went through something similar with her edge when she got it. The phone wouldn't hold service and she fought to no end to get brand new one and they actually sent her a new one. She didn't have to wait and got it overnight, now why they are giving you the hardest time in the world who knows and it sucks that you got a damaged device. All I can say is be patient and be glad that you got them to budge for a new one because it doesn't happen often.
