Just checked the Sprint website. NOTHING about Gear S. Not even a picture. Isn't it supposed to go on sale today?
i notice that as well not even T-Mobile`s site.
I've chatted with T-Mobile reps and all say it's released on the 9th. I've never seen a product released on a Sunday, how are we supossed to buy it! I'm pretty sure my T-Mobile isnt open Sundays.
Try the t-mobile stores in the mall. Good luck!

Agreed it only showed it was coming out Nov 7th on the press release thing I see no sign of it on the website or in stores but AT&T has it in Stock on website and in store 299$ plus taxes better than 384$ Sprint wants yeah T-Mobile says Nov 9 th some stores just open late and close early on Sundays as for Verizon well that's another story
Just went to a sprint store in Brooklyn NY, they had one left. It was $384 full price but they said you still had to get a plan with it for $10 a month.

Hey everyone, so i'm currently on the sprint sero plan with the HTC TP2. I'm switcing over to the sero premium to get the HTC EVO 3d. I went into the sprint store to pre-order a phone and the rep told me i had to call a certain number to get my phone since i'm sero, however when i called the number they said i'll have to wait till release date, can't pre-order.
Was the sprint rep wrong, or is there something i can do to remedy this??
Also, there's no way me getting around the paying the full 500$, is there?
gah ....
you can pre order in store no problem. not sure why they would say otherwise.
you cannot pre order through telesales unfortunately. i wish they would change that.
as far as pricing goes it depends on your upgrade status.
amazon has them for $469 contract free.
I need to know if I can upgrade my sero premium with best buy... I'm the first pre-order on the list... I get mixed answers... any ideas? Questions? Concerns? Comments?

Did mine through the website a year ago before they had the mandatory plan change, I checked earlier yesterday.

but the OP was asking about how to go from sero to sero P; you can get your upgrade discount by switching from sero to seroP at sprint stores. Couple that with your 150 discount if you are up for it and it wont be too bad to get your 3vo3d
Or you can call 8886037981 to switch to and from any sero plan... my fault... should I create another thread to touch up on my question? I'm not tryin to troll or steal your thread... just trying to see if my pre order was placed for nothing.

thanks for that number... I have to upgrade my fiance's line from Sero to Sero premium so she can take my Evo. Ill try calling it this afternoon/evening and will post results.
So I have a friend who is in the employee referral program. So just to be clear, she can add a line to her account at a Sprint store if she has this plan?
I thought it could only be by phone but if not, I will tell her to pre-order at the store.
Thanks!

I don't see why not... take the number I posted with you in case they give you a hard time... its a direct number to the virginia sprint employee accounts call center. I know it's with the sero plan for sure.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
This is what I plan on doing, hope it works...
Call the number posted above to switch from Sero to Sero P. Then go to wirefly to buy the phone and select the "no plan change" option.
Just as an FYI, it didn't work. I am already on SERO P because I have a HeroC. I pre-ordered my EVO3D last night with WireFly, and they said everything went through, but I got an email this morning saying the order was canceled. It also said to call 800-SPRINT1 to "complete" the order. I called and got telesales, and they told me they can't pre-order the phone there, I would have to go into a Sprint Store and pre-order it. They also said that it probably canceled because I didn't have the additional $10 Premium Data add-on for 4G (although the person I spoke to at WireFly told me they were adding it to my plan for me).
So, looks like I'll be heading up to the Sprint Store in front of the Mall at Millenia after work to pre-order my phone there at full price. If you pre-order in store, you HAVE to buy a $50 Sprint GC, then use it towards the purchase of the $200 for the phone. Weird...
Couldn't you just call Sprint and have them add the $10 fee and then order from wirefly?
Just got back from Verizon in Rochester NY. A representative from Samsung was there showing off the s4. I had about 5 min hands on time with it. Absolutely amazing. Official launch date for Verizon is may 23rd. They will be doing preorders a couple weeks in advance. Price will be 199.99 with 2 year activation. You better believe ill be preordering it.

I actually went there to buy an sgs3 because I've been eligible for an upgrade since November. The guys said that if i came there earlier in the morning wanting to buy the sgs3, they would have told me to buy it because before the rep from Samsung showed up, they didn't know exactly when they were gonna get it. So I'm lucky i went when i did, because if i bought the s3 just to find out i could get the s4 on the 23rd, i would have been kicking myself in the ass.

Samsungs PR released today states it will be on Verizon by the end of April. Looks like they are keeping their reps out of the loop!
The Galaxy S 4 is optimized for powerful performance on the nation’s fastest networks and will be available on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless as well as U.S. Cellular, Cricket and C Spire starting during April. Additionally, consumers can find the Galaxy S 4 at Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile, Costco, Radio Shack, Sam’s Club, Staples, Target and Wal-Mart. Exact pricing and retail availability will be announced by each of the carriers and retailers in the coming weeks.

Should be the same as buying for full price. They just allow you to put the rest of the cost into your monthly payments. Would be extremely low of them to force you off unlimited since you're not extending your contract that way. I don't even know if they're allowed to do that. But yes I highly recommend calling a Verizon Wireless rep and confirming on this before doing that. Verizon is so sensitive about unlimited data plans now that even the smallest change could give them a reason to force you off. If you do get confirmation be sure to let us know.
I tweeted them asking them the same question in 6 different ways so if I don't hear anything soon its cause there avoiding the question..

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum.
I called Verizon to purchase a new phone out-of-contract. The sales rep told me that Verizon no longer allows out-of-contract purchases, their only option is month-to-month. She confirmed that this would take away my unlimited data.
I'm not sure if she's right so I'm asking folks here. Is this true, does Verizon no longer allow you to buy their phones without giving up unlimited data?
You can still buy phones full retail, but you do need to have service with Verizon - perhaps the rep thought out-of-contract meant you didn't have service anymore.

It is but they shouldnt remove your unlimited data. Month to month is when your contract is up and you are eligible for an upgrade. I have heard a few rumors they are getting rid of unlimited next year and its final but they can't force you to upgrade.

In theory you should be able to pop your sim card out of your old 4G phone and put it in a new, off-contract phone and have it work without issue. Maybe since you're trying to buy it through Verizon, they're pushing their shared data crap.

Not so bad if you do the unlimited data bait & switch. Not all of us have the convenience of reliable coverage from multiple carriers in our areas regardless of what coverage maps show.
Quit judging, I'm just passing on info man.
There's a reason Sprint is cheap, their coverage sucks.

Some of us don't care as we are already WITH these carriers. If we are going to use them anyway, why not take advantage of a free phone?? (I am with ATT not verizon but same ol' same ol')
I am sick of peoples insistance that contract free is so great. If you live outside the USA, MAYBE, inside the USA that is not even close to true unless you A.) enjoy crap service B.) barely move C.) Never use your phone.
I would take AT&T or Verizon over any prepaid crap service and featureless "plan" any day of the week, hands down. I have tried many difference prepaid services and they are all the same, terrible spotty service, slow speeds, and hack call quality. Again this does not apply outside the USA, but here, prepaid is AWFUL.
I have no interest in swapping carriers, therefor I chose to use my upgrades and get free/discounted phones since I am going to continue to use AT&T anyway. My plan price does not go down if I do not, there is no advantage to me for not upgrading other than allowing to me to switch carriers.

Best Buy has it free for upgrade.
That's a really good deal. And what he said I have no intentions of leaving Verizon so it I'm going to pay the same anyway might as well upgrade. I lost my unlimited and now I'm on the 6 gig plan. I average like 2 gigs a month so it was no big deal for me. My daughter average 30 gigs a month so she pretty much has to stay unlimited lol

Some of us don't care about being locked into a contract. Where I live Verizon's coverage is so much better than everyone else's that I'll gladly pay more for it. Also, Verizon is offering former unlimited customers 6 GB of data for the 2 GB price with no additional strings attached. So the little to no data usage part doesn't apply either.
Did the exact same thing. BF $49 and cyber monday free. I took my receipt to best buy and they credited back my card. It was simple and fast.
Ordered mine for $0. Added as a new line. I already have a S3 on unlimited. Planning to break the contract immediately after activation and pay $350 ETF. Pay 1 day prorated monthly charge. Profit :laugh::good:. Sell my S3 for $180-$200 on ebay. U cant get such a good phone for $350 and still retain unlimited.
Have chat transcripts with VZW reps..who said doing such a thing will only result in a $350 ETF!!

You can get the deal if you use the loophole. I just did it twice, once for my line and just this week for my wife's line.
We both had upgrades due on our unlimited lines. We have 5 lines total on a national family plan, 2 are feature phones & 3 are smartphones. I transferred our upgrades to the feature phone lines, got the g2's at the promo price, and activated the new phones on the former feature phone lines. Immediately reactivated the feature phones on their respective lines by dialing *228 which deactivated the new phones and automatically cancelled the mandatory data plans required by the upgraded devices. Now that both new phones are free from their original lines, I popped in our SIM cards which reactivated the new phones on our unlimited lines.
So, new phones for promo pricing and unlimited data retained=win/win.

Not really sprint note 3 related, but I upgraded my phone to a galaxy mega last month decided I didn't like it went back to a note 3. I can't return my mega since it's after the 14 day period. Can I sell it and still pay the 17 dollars and change on my bill still? Or does the balance have to be paid in full before I can sell it?
You can sell it, but in till sprint is happy (get there money) they can/will black list it.

Will another user be able to activate it though? If I continued paying for it on my monthly bill?

No, as long as the phone is tied to your account, it can't be activated on someone else's.

Activating a cheap phone on that line will free up the mega esn from your account.
