T-Mobile Employee discounts?

I was just curious of what discounts and perks the employees receive.
Thanks everyone!

I remember talking to one of the guys at a T-Mobile store a while back and I think he said that you get to buy a phone at the upgrade price every 6 months or something. I don't quite remember though, I may be Wrong.

Word to the wise, don't advertise much you're a tmo employee here or other blog sites, they don't like it, it's how I lost my job (last year, I have a much better one now)
But, since you asked, if you were hired direct to the company (not sine 3rd party wireless affiliate), last I checked, it was 2000 minutes, unlimited text for $10, unlimited data is an extra $5.
You get a 40% discount on the wholesale price of the device of your liking, but only for the first 2 lines. All additional lines are full price. You can have up to 6 lines (last I was there) with the criteria I listed above.
After 2 years, your 3rd and 4th year discount increase to 65%, and 5th year and higher, any device you want is free (but you have to pay outrageous taxes on the hardware)
They're a good company to work for, so long as you're in a position you like, and while they remain around).

Do you know if they get to pay for their phones (with the discounted price) over 20 months?

sounds good. but im not really impressed with T-Mobile's line up right now. =(

For those of us in the UK

Hey guys/girls, hope fully tomorrow will be the day we get some sort of info. After speaking with a rep who I beleive to be honest, ( I've spoken to a lot of them) he told me a few things that have settled my mind. Because I was promised info by email yesterday, I said 'i understand you have gotten a lot of crap off people complaining and stuff probably shouting down the phone' he said yes we're all very stressed because in honesty it has nothing to do with us, we're just the messenger, 'so don't shoot us' he told me that multiple meetings are being held each day for a while now and that today the topic of the TNT delivery for the UK, and that all of our tablets are sitting in a warehouse down in London or where ever, after they got off the plane on Friday. You will get info in the next 2 days and he said 'I myself have spoken to a higher rep who passed messages on to the big guys who have taken into consideration what's going on and we do apologise, and that I'm sure you will be compensated for you're he inconvenience in some way.
If he was telling the truth, he seemed like a good guy though. We could even have them tomorrow, he said that the tracking numbers won't get sent to us till the device is actually on the truck, hence why we haven't heard anything yet. But let's hope for the best we might see some results tomorrow.
I know how eager everyone is at this point and also were dissappointed. But hopefully we won't be held up much longer.

Thanks for letting us know. I am waiting for it here in UK as well. I've been to Currys today in Bracknell, but a guy there said it's not coming to them until September.
That's because of some store changes though. I'm going to check Reading, maybe even tomorrow. I was going to hit London's HMV, but 16th July is said to be only the pre-order day.

Thanks for this heads up
I for one don't care about being compensated. To be honest they're still shipping earlier than I expected in the UK, so I'm all good!
Very nice to know we should hear something tomorrow or Tuesday though. Will be sure to check back here if I get anything through.

Really hope we hear something tomorrow

I was also going to check out HMV, but I realised they will only make me send it back to Asus if there's an issue which could take weeks. It's really not worth the two day wait.

Im so excited I could wee!!!!!

Tbh I'm not that bothered, it'll just be a nice surprise when it does arrive and then I'll have to do the legend of Zelda thing of holding it above my head while running back to my under ground lab

Ah cool I'm glad to hear that, thanks for the info mate!

There is a sticky for all discussion relating to orders from the Play Store.

That would be illegal.
The Sale of Goods Act states that it is the retailer's responsibility to deal with faulty goods, not the manufacturer's. HMV could not legally refuse to handle warranty issues themselves.
Initially, you have a right of rejection if the goods are not fit for purpose, which means you can demand a refund or replacement. There is no fixed period for this as the law has to cover everything from fresh fruit to fidge-freezers and clearly an appropriate rejection period for one would not be appropriate for the other. Normally for electronics, it's between 14 and 28 days though some retailers offer longer or shorter periods.
After that, for the remainder of the first 6 months, HMV would have to either have the tablet repaired or replaced or prove that the fault was not inherent at the time of sale (ie if it were caused by wear and tear, it wouldn't get fixed - but the same applies with most warranties anyway). Then after the first 6 months, for anywhere up to 6 years, you still have legal rights obliging the retailer to help you provided you can prove the fault was inherent at the time of sale.
Now, true, HMV could simply send the tablets on to Asus but that would at least potentially save you the cost of postage.
Not to mention, the Sale of Goods Act also states that any repairs undertaken by the retailer must be completed within a reasonable length of time and without significant inconvenience to the customer - meaning that if it were to take weeks and weeks, you could demand a replacement unit instead; something you couldn't do if you sent it away to Asus yourself.
It pays to know your legal rights.

FYI: Canadian preorders (possibly more) can get shipping waived...

After reading the news that I am still to wait 1-2 weeks for my 16 GB device to ship, I immediately called Google and waited 45 minutes to speak with Chris. I voiced my frustrations over the fact that this had been my SEVENTH call to Google since Thursday and that I want to cancel my order.
He put me on hold, and came back with some interesting news:
1) They have no problem cancelling because of my particular situation (ordered on the 27th, spoke to them 7 times, got different answers...)
2) I can still keep the shipment, refuse it at the door or accept it and then return it within 15 days INCLUDING a full refund to the shipping
3) If I choose to keep it, again because of my specific circumstance, they would be willing to waive the shipping charge on delivery
They also explained to me that Australia is getting their 16 GB devices before Canada because of the SKUs on their specific devices; they ordered these devices specific to each country and they can't rightly send Canadians Australian devices (bull****? I'm not sure...)
Hello Ricky,
Thank you for contacting Google. It was a pleasure getting to speak with
you today. As promised, I have submitted a request to have your shipping
charge waived due to the unexpected delay.
In the meantime, if you have any additional feedback that you'd like to
pass along, please feel free to reply to this email. Your responses will
automatically go to the specialist looking at your case.
Thanks again for your patience and understanding.
Regards,
Chris

So I'm going to keep the shipment and start looking around Montreal to find a 16 GB one. If I don't, I'll accept the package and get the shipping waived. If I can find one, I'll just return it free of charge.
One last thing: he also said he'd be VERY surprised if the people who bought from the Play store don't get something else as a courtesy as a result of this mishap...

T-Mobile Release Date Pushed Back + Demo unit info

So my friend got me an interview at Tmobile today (New York)
When I walked into the store he went to the back and brought out a Nexus 4 for me to play with :victory:

This was the only "store unit" they received. I was rather shocked to find that their unit did not have:
photo-sphere
2 finger toggle pull down menu
Lockscreen widgets w/ camera app
I assumed it was simply not shipped with the newest firmware. I'm sure the release models will be fine.
When I mentioned "i'm getting this tomorrow", he said they are not getting them in for at least another week or two. :crying:
I helped them swap out the in-store large format advertisements that covered the walls with ones that all advertised the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2.
A short while later I met the store manager and we began our interview.:good:
All went well, and I snuck in a question about the Nexus4 being delayed.
She explained to me that Samsung and Tmobile made an agreement for Samsung to "buy time" during their upcoming promotion.
This weekend the Galaxy Phones will have a huge sale (in-store only) and during this time the Nexus4 will not be released.
Now those large format advertisements for the S3 and Note II make sense.
She (the manager) said the nexus4 will be available for sale around Nov 22 just in time for thanksgiving/black friday shopping
So now I must wait
***I only had a few seconds to play with it, but just so you all know, there isnt any real bloatware. Only 1.5 pages of apps.
***Feels great in your hands! Doesn't feel as bulky as the GS3 and feels a tad heavier
***I know many reviews said that you have to look hard to see the "crystal reflective process" on the back but in the store it was obviously noticeable. Which I like better anyway!

That is odd. I just got off the phone with customer care and they tole me it should be available everywhere tomorrow (the 14th). But I also called my local store and was told the only store to get it in would be one about an hour away from me. Different info with anybody we speak with.

Perhaps it's a regional thing. I know that all the stores near me in NY got the GS3 during the first wave release date. Maybe this is a similar occurrence.

Where in New York is this because the two T Mobile stores I talked to said they'd have the Nexus tomorrow.

Staten island, ny

They will be in select stores and very limited quantity but 100% will be available Nov 14.

I wish there was a public list of stores that will have them. I'd make the trip

Think he can get me an interview too? Lol no joke

I'd be surprised if the T Mobile in the SI Mall doesn't have it tomorrow (unless thats where you went to). The T Mobile stores I checked were in Downtown Brooklyn (Court St) and in Upper West Side in Manhattan (96 St).

Serious_Beans, sorry, but I only got the interview since they needed to fill one spot and I am being recommended by 3 employees. We all worked together at circuit city back in the day
And ImmenseGT, it is the mall one. So i am rather shocked too
If I have the time tomorrow, I am going to hit up all these T-Mo Stores in NJ since they are relatively close to where I will be running errands:
1396 Centennial Avenue
Piscataway Township, NJ 08854
100 Edison Glen Terrace #2540
Edison, NJ 08837
32 Parsonage Road
Edison, NJ 08837
250 Woodbridge Center Drive
Woodbridge Township, NJ 07095

Amazing! But I think if they were delaying the sale they would have said so in a ad or on facebook/twitter. Also tmonews would have found out and said so as well. I wonder how tmobile will set the full price on this one!! lol

It's up for order on the T-Mobile site....

it is different in every location..my friend works for tmobile and he said they will be getting it at 12pm east...in florida

None of my local stores had it. I called T-Mobile and I ordered it with next day shipping... will be here tomorrow $259... canceled my play store order

None of the NJ stores that I called had them. Only the New Brunswick store had but were sold out. All 3 Staten island store arn't getting it till the 22nd like i stated.
I just placed an order online at T-mobile and was alerted with the message that said the phone "was not available for immediate shipping" and expected delivery is targeted for Nov 22nd (same date that most stores will get it)

Have any of you has been scammed by slickwraps?

Hi,
The last black Friday i purchased 3 skins for my brand new Galaxy Note 8 and I choose slickwraps over Dbrand because I've read some bad experience reviews with dbrand delivery, and decided to buy the Slickwraps and a Rhyno Shield the 24th of November/17.
The Rhyno Shield supposed to be shipped from China and the skins from USA, and since I live in South America I thought that as usual, the package sent from NJ will arrive first via FedEx than the package sent from other continent via China Express, but i got my Bumper after 30 days and almost 90 days after the purchase, still haven't received my skins.
At first they answer my mail saying that it should get with a different tracking number, and I should track it through my local post office, but 4-72, the national postal office says they haven't received any package with any of the numbers provided.
Long story short, I'm selling my phone and haven't yet receive my skins, they're not answering my mails, and not even answer my money back request, since I'm not keeping the phone.
Does anyone have suffered a similar situation? Any advices?

Ohhh don't let me start with this.. This company is the worst, believe me dbrand are angels compared to them..
My story is, purchased first week of January, it was 5 skins for my P2XL and note8 (not a small or cheap purchase).. Kept emailing them starting from the 3rd week of January, they totally ignored me, they didn't reply for a long time, then when they replied, they simply said they are busy with orders... Thats the worst answer any customer can ever get.. Long story short, i kept sending emails afterwards, then started requesting to cancel my order for another week.. And still ignoring me, then by the 2nd week of February, i received an email that my order has been shipped.. And few hour after that, they reply to me saying "sorry we can't cancel orders that have been shipped, and you only can cancel orders within 2 hours of placing them".. I can't believe how this company deals with its customers, they think that we are that stupid.. Unbelievable.. I think everyone should boycott them, for real..
The simplest thing i always say to allll companies, if you can't handle the orders, you are better off stop taking orders than killing your customers and your reputation.. What kind of a business mind do those people have..
FYI: BEFORE ANYONE JUMPS HERE, I HAVE PROVES, EMAILS, Purchase DATES, REPLIES THAT PROVES EVERYTHING.. AM SAYING THAT BECAUSE I KNOW such companies have their own undercover users who will start to reply here and make life great.. I've seen it many times here.. And happened to me..
Slikwraps are the worst.. Slikwraps are the worst..

I had one purchase transaction, handled fast and well by Slickwraps, no complaints whatsoever..

I bought 3 skins, and nothing. The worst customer service ever.
And they use the cheapest postal service. At least charge me a few dollars for shipping and don't use Ultra old postal service in diligencies pulled by horses across the west.
