[Q] Phone Claim

Anyone ever sent a phone with a cracked screen to Asurion? If so, did you receive any repercussions?

They will make you pay a deductible I think 100 dollars or 130 something like that.. and they will ship you a replacement

Also the replacement will be a refurbdished phone

Where did you hear this? if this is true i am gonna call up tmobile... I am on exchange number 2 right now.

If you go online and go through their website they will tell you what is available as a replacment. If they have Slides that is what you get, if not they have to offer something compareable.

Photon Q at Best Buy for $49 now

In case anyone was still on the fence but considering it, now's a good time to jump...saw someone over on Phandroid post about getting one for this price and verified for myself:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Motorola+-+Photon+Q+Mobile+Phone+-+Black+(Sprint)/6036051.p?id=1218716261717&skuId=6036051&contract_desc=

So glad I just spent 2 hundo on mine...
Sent from the collective. Resistance is futile.

Had I waited a week I would be fine. Went last week when it was $99. Ah well, better than 2 bills Sprint still wants.
This makes me wonder if the plan on supporting this thing. Shame, as for a phone whither a physical keyboard its pretty nice

You can pay to have your upgrade early, it only cost me 35 to bump it up a few months.

Bestbuy will pricematch other retailers as long as retailer has the phone in stock, so bb should price match costco's price.

Hasn't this been available for weeks now?

No, rumored a few weeks ago. Officaly available. Can buy apps, games, movies, etc. $25 max per month per line though. Higher for some "premium" devices

I tried a couple times today the option not coming up. Still keeps asking me for a credit card
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Oh, I get it now. Verizon is jumping on the bandwagon for an online store, but you can bill it to your line rather than a CC.

Very interesting.

Should be in this drop down menu. Or could be your line has blocked "Online Purchases"

Do you have to do something on Verizons site for this to work? I tried and it told me my accounts wasn't elgible for billing.

Play store Verizon billing was available to me for about a month, but recently I am no longer seeing it as a payment option. Anyone else seeing this or know how to remedy it?

I upgraded to FoxFi full version through Google Play about a week ago. It gave me the option of setting up wallet or having charged to my Verizon account. I opted for wallet. (rooted, unlocked, but have only upgraded the radio so far)

More information, please, if you have it.

I am wondering the same thing. Or how any of the incentives will come about. I have linked paypal and dropbox, but wasnt offered any vouchers or additional space.

Im wondering if they email you later. I didn't get extra box space yet either.

they are saying if you already used the free space offer from a previous phone, this offer doesn't stack onto it...its complete BS in my opinion...
it should be like a phone contract, and that the 2 year expiration date expires from the date of the last purchase of the phone that offered it
anyways, here are all the "galaxy gifts" that come with the phone
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxys5/galaxygifts.html

Well, I called paypal and clarified about this $50 credit. Paypal stated that we can receive offers up to $50 from select merchants when using the application. So you will not get any type of credit to your Paypal account if you are looking for one. To me, Samsung should have clarified this better and it seems a little deceiving. Oh well.

Switch & bait

I know we are talking about the PayPal credit but they did the bait n switch but i figured out how to get the credit for drop box. Yes kinda annoying using another email but I just signed out of my existing dropbox on my phone and registered with another email. Gave me a 48gb promo.
