Are we getting refund and reset upgrade eligibility ? - Sprint Note 7 Questions & Answers

looks like verizon user are getting a refund show up on their account and reset upgrade eligibility automatically
Are we getting the same treatment from sprint?

the last time the refund was fast but it took 3 hours on the phone over 5 different calls to get the upgrade reset.

This is the only way they are getting mine back.

I just swapped my note for an s7 Edge. On a samsung fast wireless charger, my new edge runs hotter than my replacement note ever did. I'm wondering if I made a mistake and should have just held onto it. For those that swapped for an Edge, how much money did you get back? I only got about $53, and was told that $25 would be credited to my account, the rest went to taxes.
But I'm thinking of returning the Edge, use my old HTC m8 H/K until something else comes along.

That sounds a bit messed up you'd have to pay taxes on the credit, since that difference was already taxed during the original purchase.
You just got that amount double taxed...

Yeah, I'm going to have to call customer care.

I think I'm going to wait for the LG V20.

question re: selling verizon s3

I'm getting two s3's today. I will be using one and selling one. I am going to use the cash to get my wife an iphone 5 when they come out. Anyway, is it ok to sell it without even opening it, or is the sim card inside somehow tied to my account?
Blasphemy. Why don't you just try to get your wife to use something good?
You can sell it as is, don't need to open it, but why didn't you wait for the iPhone 5 to come out to get it in contract instead? But yeah you can sell it for a good price right now

I think she is crazy, but hey, each to their own. Had to buy now to get the unlimited data. Getting $600 for it, can't hope to get much more than that.
yep, in the same boat about preordering an extra s3 to save up for the iphone 5.
feel bad for those who didn't think ahead and grab this before unlimited contract renewals disappeared.
SIM isn't tied to your account, but the consensus is you have to open it and activate it first before selling - otherwise you don't complete the 2yr agreement you signed on for when you got it subsidized.
Yes, I had to activate then switch back to the thunderbolt. We did the exchange in the Verizon store to make it easy.

Sprint GS4 user upgrading to N5 - sim card question

Hi,
I'm seeing some conflicting into about this in several different threads, so I thought it might help to address it in one location. I'm a Sprint customer and currently have a GS4. Will I be able to use my existing sim card to activate my N5 when it comes, or will I have to get a new sim card?
Thanks!

You can use your existing SIM (you will likely need to call in to Sprint customer care to get it swapped over though). I'd suggest that you request a new SIM anyway, for use on the S4 at a later point.
Thanks. I'm selling the S4 and telling the buyer that they'll need to contact Sprint for a new sim.

Yep - it should be free - or you can order it for them too (in case the buyer insists on one)
See you soon Max. I'm getting mine delivered tomorrow.

Sweet, that was quick. I'm still working out the logistics. I'm going to have to sell the S4 first because I can't afford to be out 400 bucks until the phone is sold. I was thinking about just taking my upgrade with Sprint on December 1st, but then I found out that Sprint is only selling the 16gb model. I'll probably use my upgrade to buy an iPhone 5S for $200 and hopefully sell it for $600-$700.

Yeah, I hear you. Luckily I had a nice bonus at work last month, otherwise I wouldn't have dished out the money. Hoping to sell the S4 soon. Put it on Craigslist with no hits yet so I'll probably try Swappa and Ebay next. Kind of glad it didn't sell yet though because that will at least give me the chance to go back if I have major buyer's remorse.

How did you get $582 from Gamestop? I just called them and they quoted me $356.

The in store credit amount is higher, then you get 30% extra on top of that amount if you buy a used game for $1. Then use the in store credit to buy gift cards you would usually use.
You could buy all shell gas gift cards, then take them there and buy all VISA gift cards... or just use them for fuel like I am.

Interesting. Did they hassle you about the phone being brand new? The guy I talked to over the phone said they they can't buy a brand-new, unopened phone, and he acted like I stole it or something. I had to explain my plan and the fact that I don't even have the phone yet.

Not at all. We opened it together. Heck I literally never even touched the phone itself. He did ask why. I told him the truth, that I was eligible for upgrade and the iPhones bring the most on trade and I bought a Nex5 off contract.

50% off on accessories for G3 AT&T

Well as you all know when you bought the G3 there was an offer of 50% on select accessories for the G3. The promo said that only one accessory would have the discount. Apparently the reps at AT&T will give you the discount on all the accessories if you ask nicely and this applies even if you did not buy your phone in AT&T and you bought it at Best Buy or RadioShack for example, also you do not need to buy it exactly at the time you bought the phone cause you have 14 days from the day of activation to get the offer. I used this advantage to get the PMA Case, the G Watch and the LG Ultra Headphones also you can get the iPhone 4/4s powermat bundle for $10 bucks if you can find an AT&T store that has it in stock, the powermat base works fine on my G3 and i have not experienced disconnection issues at night or neither i have found that it loses a charge after it hits 100%, if the charger doesn't work try exchanging it or try exchanging the PMA case. One little detail is that the LG Ultra headphones in the manual says that it comes with a plug to the wall charger, this charger doesn't come with the device it only comes with a usb cable. I hope this thread helps whoever has doubt's on the offer.

i got my G3 more than 14 days ago and i checked the website but none of the prices show 50% off. so im thinking about stopping by after work to the retail store and "ask nicely" and see if i can get 50% that way. what do you think?

Well i would say try it and be like i didn't know that was an offer or something and maybe they might give it to you, asking nicely goes a looong way and remember that they are salesmen they need to get stuff sold even if it's by giving them at 50% off. Worse thing that might happen is they say no and best thing is they say yes.

I bought online ordered the case online but since I have an employer discount I have hard coded 25 percent off but when I went to store they cancelled that web order and gave me 50 percent off.

Phone return and freebies?

I'm returning my g5 until there is root available. I plan to purchase one again if root becomes available in the near future. I have the battery and camera promotion items being sent to me. Do those need to be returned as well?
Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
Nope I had 2 return 2 LG devices cause of screen bleed and I asked them the same question and they said no just return the phone.
Disclaimer: doing this more than once with no issue to the phone can set up a red flag for scam.
Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk
Sweet thanks. Yeah I have no interest in doing this more than once, just like to know I have the freebies when I buy again. If hate to spend $650 on a phone again and not have the 360 camera and battery.
Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
I'm thinking... If you've received the freebies you're more then likely out of your return/refund period considering how long it takes to process the orders.

So you are returning a phone, that you appear to like, until it has root then you are buying it again? Not really sure what that accomplishes but to each his own.
You're paying a $50 restocking fee because of no root? Must be nice. While you're in the giving mood, ill take $50

LOL go figure.
By then LG will most likely patch the ability to root. Better to keep the damn phone that you have rather then get set up for failure.
It's gone guys, let this thread die. My question has been answered.

Sorry Man. The Nexus 5 does not work on Verizon. They have to whitelist the device on their network and they have not done that. You could sell it for around $100 and buy a 5x for around 300 I think. 5x and 6p work on Verizon.
