newegg terms on tilt question

Good Afternoon,
bought a tilt on newegg with a two year contract, Since I work in a area that is susceptible to moisture, I wan to interchange phones between the new and a crappy one. Has anyone been charged for changing equipment? or even using it on another line?
Thanks in advance

you're in luck, with a gms service, you can just pull the sim card and place it in another gsm phone and away you go again

Anyone know if att reports it to neweeg that you have switched sims? I just want to cover myself before I attempt this. (haven't received the phone yet.)

When you buy a handset from a store, they usually hand you off to the cell company. Except, possibly, for repairs, you will probably deal directly with AT&T for now on. That said, AT&T doesn't track phones, they track SIM cards. You can switch your SIM card between phones all you want. I have an old Motorola V505 (unlocked) that I switch my SIM into anytime I'm somewhere I don't want to take my Kaiser (such as the beach), it's not uncommon. I have 3 other phones in use on my account, none of which are the original phones purchased from AT&T.

Neither Newegg nor AT&T care about which phone you use. They only care that the service plan associated with the SIM card is not lowered or canceled during your contract term.

not planning on canceling or downgrading but that small smidgen of that terms and condition got me scared a bit. Thanks.

They don't really even care what sim card it is, just that you have a service plan and pay them a monthly amount. You would have to call them or go to a store to change sim cards, but it can be done. You can also downgrade your service without penalty, but canceling completely will prompt an ETF.

kaiser & att data plans

hey all i have a friend thats interested in getting a kaiser. he said he went into the att store the other day and they said he would have to get a pda data plan to purchase the phone. he said he did not want it and they told him it was a requirement and that they could not sell him the phone without it.
currently he has a razr phone and been using the mediamax bundle with the 200 messages. i told him to try and buy it from somewhere other than att and swap out the sim card. so basically what we would like to know is, can he purchase a tilt, from another purchaser like an online store or ebay, and just swap the sim card? if not can he use the phone without any data plan at all? or would he hear from att? thanks

I got mine from ebay, brand new and sealed, unlocked. Popped my Sim in and it works like a charm.
If he does buy it from elsewhere, just make sure it is UNLOCKED, otherwise you'll have to spend some money unlocking it. And I've never been a fan of unlocking phones, my dads done it twice and they both screwed up after a while...

Got my tilt from the at&t website and was able to keep the 19.99 unlimited media plan the store told me this was the way to do it

I NEED HELP ON THIS SIM Problem pls

I sold my Tilt the new owner put several Sim card in the Tilt and it doesn't work. The phone worked great with my sim card from my Bold. Providing that he has not damage it what do you think is the problem. I also had the same problem with a Mot w600. When the woman returned it to me it work fine with my sim. I resold it and never the new own did not have a problem.
The person who bought the Tilt is a ATT customer. They are sending it back and i will test it with my SIm and put it up for sale. But why would it not work for thier SIM
ANYBODY

make sure you are writing down the device id before you sell your devices online.
The buyer may still have the old cingular sim card, which may not work on all Tilts.

First thing. Where did you buy your Note from?
BTW can you try to clean the SIM card by erasing it? Sounds like your SIM card or the radio is having a problem though.

i have try many different sim card and i buy that note in ebay germany.im live in finland!

have you tried using the phone in another area? the local mast may be over subscribed or faulty.
have you tried removing the microsd card. i found when my sd card was faulty or apps having problems then sometimes my signal was flaky as well and signal would come on and go off in a flash. deleting and reloading apps made no difference. now have new microsd card since yesterday and no issues since then even though have most of the old apps back.
try changing sim card to see if sim card is faulty.
try setting the phone to wcdma only or gsm only or gsm auto prl only via settings or codes to see if its flaky signal causing probs.
dont you have a receipt for purchase to prove purchase date and source of purchase. isnt that enough to prove phone is under warranty..
i just read my warranty card which came with the phone. it says ...
on page 1. customer signature and delaer stamp and signature! mine came from amazon.de and does not hace any amazon stamp or signature. but i do have a receipt from amazon by email. guess they wont open the box for stamping warraty card as box says seal should be intact when customer gets phone in the box. so warranty card cant actually be signed for internet sales as seal will have to be broken on the box.
also says warranty is only valid when card properly completed and upon presentation of roof of purchase consisting of original invoice or sales slip indicating date of purchase, dealers name, model, serial number, and product number.
write to samsung with copy of your invoice and see if they will accept that as proof of purchase even though warranty card is missing.
in the UK the sale of goods acts gives additional benefits for six years apart from guarantee. see if there is anything similar in your country to see if they can do the warranty service / repair / replacement if needed. best of luck

What does the warranty carard specifically state?
From Samsung UK's website:
Samsung Electronics (UK) Ltd support a product purchased in Europe if it has an EU Bloc Warranty. This warranty is present where the top of the product warranty card clearly states 'European Bloc'. If the product is purchased in another part of the globe then Samsung may attempt a repair. Samsung Electronics (UK) Ltd cannot guarantee the outcome.

Does it say EU Bloc Warranty? If so, I guess you should be ok.
Regards,
Dave

I phoned Samsung UK before I brought my Note from Amazon Germany. The Samsung rep said all Note brought and used in EU have 2 years warranty.
Samsung should be able to identify your phone by its IMEI and/or serial number under the battery and on the side of the box. I don't see the point of warranty card, your Note can't be more than 4 months old.

Through it and get a new one~~~~ai^^^^^

surely you will have samsung centres in your country. try contacting them in writing if they refuse over the phone or when you go there.
my warranty card says you can take it to any authorised dealer or service centre in any EC country.
mine was from germany as well (amazon.de) so yours should have come with the same conditions. so contact amazon if you bought it from amazon. or your local samsung service centre.

If it was new your ebay seller's bill is proof of purchase and acts as a warranty.
Present that to Samsung.
If it wasn't new ask the ebay seller for the purchase receipt or bill or at least a copy of it.

Have u try put your sim in others phone? Most probabily your sim is problem..

Bought a AT&T Note 3, can i not activate it?

So basically my roomie was kind enough to let me use his discount to buy a note 3 since i'm not eligible for a while.
Obviously the phone is for me, even though we bought it thru his account.
So do I still need to call AT&T and activate the phone (it came with a sim card in the package)
Or i can just ignore the sim card and calling them and just use the new note 3 with my sim card, and he uses his iphone with his old sim card thats already in there.
Do you know how does the whole thing work?

If you already have your own SIM card linked to your account, just put it in the phone and you are good to go as long as the phone is an ATT model. Also the phone will only work with a MicroSIM regular sized SIMs will not fit this phone.
On ATT the phone has no bearing on your account. What you are paying for is the SIM. I bought a Lumia when my contract renewed with ATT. Could not stand it so I bought an N3 full price and slapped my card in it. The device is even updated on my account on the website as being a N3 and not a Lumia.

oh cool.
So i dont have to do anything?
ATT doesnt care that the phone was never activvated?

On ATT phones are not activated. They are ready to use out of the box. The SIM is the key. All your account data is linked to the SIM, not the phone. You can use any phone that ATT sells on your account and you don't have to buy it from ATT . I bought my N3 on Amazon at full price but I still use it on my Lumia account. The exception is if you use a smartphone on a none smartphone account, when they see it on the network they will upgrade you and charge you accordingly. You cannot use ATT with a smartphone on a standard phone account.

OK let me shed some light. If you call and give them the imel number of the new phone then its registered and if you have the insurance it will automatically be transferred to the new phone regardless where you got it. That's the benefit. I have my Lumia insurance with att and my note 3 and s4 with square trade.
