Buying TB: Best Buy or VZW Web/Store? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm glad it's coming soon. I'm wondering what benefits would buying from best buy vs verizon.
I am actually looking to buy two.
One as an upgrade for myself. The other for my girlfriend, porting her number over from sprint.
Upgrade for me I know either will be fine. But I am unsure how well BBY can port numbers and if it would be better dealing with verizon directly.

Best Buy no MIR (I guess none at Verizon too), larger selection of cases and accesories. Best Buy still has a machine that can transfer contacts and photos (e.g. if you're not coming from a prior google phone w/ backed up contacts). If you want protection best buy has a 9.99 a month option, covers accidental damage, battery replacement, hardware issues (but not theft) no deductible while verizon's insurance is cheaper, has a deductible. Free enrollment right now with the buy back program.
Cons: limited stock, generally not sent as many units as verizon (highly suggest you pre-order), some people just hate best buy and refuse to shop there. some accessories might be more expensive
As far as porting goes, just bring in your girlfriends bill or account number and best buy will have no problems porting over her sprint number. just make sure she is fully out of contract vs eligible for an upgrade. Otherwise she will pay an etf with sprint.

Thanks for the info!
I don't care much for best buy either but will shop there when deals are good.
She will have a etf regardless but with her contant dropped calls it is worth it.
Anyway, I don't usually load up on accessories. When I do it is usually an extended battery and holdster from seidio. I love seido.
One question.... can best buy bill equipment to my account if I pre-order?
I'd like to have one billed on my account for my upgrade... I asked a best buy rep.... said not possible. So VZW for at least one of them

Yea they cannot bill through Verizon. As far as extended batteries go, the one that is currently sold for the evo probably wont work

Does anyone know if BB can transfer an upgrade from another line on the account for a preorder?

just activate it on that line then call vzw and have them move the phones to the correct lines... I had to do this for my incredible... you just have to call and then hit *228 and reprogram both phones after they correct the esn numbers...

If i have an early upgrade (upgrade after 13 months on a 2-year contract) can i buy the phone at a 2-year contract price from best buy?

I don't think VZW will let anyone release this phone before they do.

If you're buying off contract you'll have to go to Verizon. New contracts and upgrades only at Best Buy.

Well I went and preordered, and no one said anything about requiring an upgrade. And I know that isn't true because you can buy phone's on BestBuy's website at full price without adding a contract.

If they won't do it then they can have their gift card back, I want my $50 back, and I'll never be back.

I bought at best buy cause it included the buy back program for free promotion... they estimated the phone will be worth 130 in 2 years when its at end of life...

Best Buy will sell the phone out right without a contract

Best Buy will not do 1 year contracts, I refuse to sign a new contract that says I have to wait 20 months for an upgrade. Not in this day in age anyway.

Just pre ordered. Buy back program is a good incentive makes for earlier upgrade possibilities. Paying full retail

best place to buy a new Rezound??

I love my phone and want to buy another one for a spare.
I have an upgrade available but don't want to use it, I would rather just buy a phone outright.
What is the best deal anybody has found to buy a brand new Rezound outright??
Amazon.

Well no. Sometimes ebay sellers have a "surplus" of new phones and try to clear them out at a high-midrange price before the demand goes down. If it were me, I'd go the ebay route. If there's a problem with it, ebay guarantees returns and all that. I never buy directly from a person without a middleman.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I bought my Rezound new, sealed in the box from a Verizon employee who won it at work in a contest. They already had one and needed some cash.
I paid $200.00 cash for it (after ESN was verified, etc.)
Might be the BEST 200 bucks I have ever spent.
So back to the question, watch Craigslist and have the seller meet you at at VZW store to verify the ESN. You might not find NIB, but you should be able to get a good used one for a very reasonable price.

I have to agree with chef Thomas I've bought a whole lot of phones on eBay brand new, around a lil over 400 sounds right for that market.
I'd go that route or craigslist local. Sometimes there's similar deals in your local area and you can do the deal in person just get the ESN ahead of time, and check it then and also check it at time of purchase.
There's a tool for that by the way I don't have a link handy but can send you one.
If you buy a phone from.an individual make sure when you send them the money it clearly states it's a purchase of a phone, because you can dispute the payment and get your money back but if its marked as a gift your stuck like chuck, it used to be that way at least.

I'm guessing you are under contract so if rezound was on the acct the esn will be blocked until you pay the etf.

Yes I just ported my number to Google Voice and waiting for that to go through to automatically cancel my contract. I am going to pay Verizon what they need right after the number is ported. That's why I was waiting to post the sale on swappa. I wanted to make sure all was set with Verizon first.

Getting my EVO on Sat, Sept 1...Where should I purchase?

It's been a long grueling last year with my OG Evo and it's time to part ways. I've always been and HTC supporter and I will continue to support their product. I will be getting an EVO LTE but paying the full $199 just seems outlandish especially now that ATT and T-Mobile dropped the One X to $99.99. I have some other options rather than buying directly from Sprint but I wanted to know other people's experience. Radioshack and Wirefly will ship one to my house, FedEx next day (which means I wouldn't get it till Tuesday), for $149.99 even. I was wanting to know any drawbacks to purchasing from these two providers rather than going through Sprint. I do have full insurance through Asurion so accidental damage isn't my concern but more of what happens if there is a manufactures defect? Also, anybody heard any news of Sprint reducing the price so they can compete? I would hate to pay $199 and then have Sprint drop it to $99 in the next month or so.
I could also go to Best Buy and get it for $149.99. I think this is going to be my first option considering my patience with my OG is running really thin. I am also selling my great condition OG with a ton of stuff so if anyone want to shoot me an offer, I would definitely think about it before posting on eBay.
It's too bad you didn't get it last week bestbuy had it for $99 for a week. I just got mine this pay Friday paid $104 out the door

Ya I just checked and it is only for brand new lines. I need to upgrade so it would be $99 which isn't bad. I may just have to do that. I may walk in to best buy and see if they will honor last weeks price because I'm technically not eligible until Sept 1st and I've tried everything to get my date pushed up. Once again I am upgrading and not starting a new line or contract. The prices vary drastically.
Amazon wireless will have the best deal. No tax.

I think that the most important part for you is to get evo with 1.12 hboot. If you go to the big stores or sprint corporate store you may not find it. You need to go to small stores that sell sprint phones, that way you may get lucky.

Yah absolutely. The problem is small stores that sell Sprint have to abide by Sprint's pricing. I fell like if I order one online, it will come boxed and I can do whatever from there. I'm sure there will be a LazyPanda updated for 1.15 but who knows when. Having radio S-OFF isn't the biggest deal to me as long as I can get root. It sucks not being able to sideload firmware but what are you going to do about HTC and their bootloaders. I think I'm going to go through Amazon. It seems to be the only place to get the upgrade price of $99.99.

So get a new line and shutdown the old one. You'll get it for $99 then.

Best source for non upgrade note?

Waiting for it to show up online for no tax such as Amazon and for WireFly to update their pricing to match Verizon's (currently $759).
Craigslist is a good alternative but warranty is questionable.

Will Best Buy price match Verizon Wireless if I'm buying off-contract? I have $400 in Best Buy Gift Cards, so I'm going to buy it from them regardless, just would prefer not to have to pay $100 extra.
I've heard of people getting Best Buy to price match, but have never tried it personally. What's the worst that they'll tell you? Sorry, we can't do that?

Verizon and asurion will definitely not warranty your device from a device bought off Craigslist. I've tried before, and contacted various VZW reps and asurion rep

How is it that this phone is $199 at AT&T and at Best Buy I can get it for $99?
How could there be that big of a difference in price?

That's how I ended up with my One X.
If you want the BB price, but want to buy from AT&T, check if your credit card has some sort of price protection. My card has it. I just had to call in and they open a claim. You fill out some paperwork and send in the advertisement with the price and they send you a check for the difference up to $250. I'm waiting for my paperwork for the OG right now.
BBUY price match to Amazon $50
Best Buy has a deal right now where you can sign up before Sunday to get a $50 gift card when you upgrade, but they will also price match to Amazon.
I got the price match a few weeks back and got the phone for $50. The $50 gift card would've been nice, but I had to buy before the end of last month for another deal. $50 credit on my AMEX is better than $50 at Best Buy.
tl;dr Best Buy price match to Amazon = $50 plus tax [on unlocked price].

Best buy makes commission based on how many they sell. So if it is free they make commission only but if it is more they make commission plus the price. The phones are worth 600 so either way your carrier loses money in the short term which is why there are contracts to keep you locked in. Best buy is paid by carriers for giving them 2yr customers.

Where would I get a best price for an upgrade for OG?
I tried Best Buy and they said they only activate new lines. I'm not sure if I was lied to by a sales rep so they would not waste time on customers with lower commission than activation a new line. Other places have the same attitude. It seems only ATT stores do upgrades and also phones are the cheapest there when you upgrade.
BTW, I am eligible for an upgrade (not early or anything).

Best Buy Mobile employees do not receive commission, and they also do do upgrades so you were lied to or at least misinformed but it wasn't because of commission... Perhaps a misunderstanding or a new employee, but as far as I know Costco is the cheapest right now but Best Buy will match any ones price so Best Buy is always the cheapest if you use price match.
The question is which stores have good prices on phone upgrades?
(They usually advertise new line prices only and upgrades are more expensive than AT&T store)

I got mine from best buy on a new line, I had them price match it for me. However, I did have to go to a few stores to make sure they had it in stock as well as make sure the manager approves the price match, some of them didn't.

yea i noticed the $50 version isn't there any more...it must have been a holiday/new year special. however, its cool. Thank you for the help. I'll probably end up buying from Amazon cause it'll be cheaper...I've bought other stuff from there and been okay with it, but the whole shbang with it being cheaper on Amazon compared to Verizon was like..whats the catch?
I just got two DNAs from best buy last Tuesday. They priced matched the $50 price that Amazon had. I ended up getting them both for free because I signed up for the $50 gift card offer that best buy was offering the week before. They gave me 2 $50 gift cards for signing a new wireless contract.
I switched from T-Mobile. I had the HTC Amaze. So far I don't regret the change. But the only thing that I'll miss from my Amaze is the 32gb ext sd card. It's going to take a bit to adjust the limited space that's on the DNA. Other than that, I'm really enjoying the DNA with the Venom Rom.

There is no cons from buying there I have bought phones from amazon in the past and they were brand new and worked great.
The reason some don't buy from them or Best Buy, etc... is if you cancel within 6 months or something, you pay their $350 early term fees in addition to Verizon.
