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).

Just a heads-up to anyone who may have purchased at Best Buy. I was there picking up The Lion King 3D yesterday morning (don't judge me!) and while waiting in line at customer service for them to apply my pre-order to my transaction, I noticed that the Bionic's tag listed $229.99. I immediately went to the girl working Best Buy Mobile and asked her to refund me the difference, which was done with no problem, as Best Buy offers 30 days for mobile hardware returns.
So if you snagged up your Bionic at Best Buy, get back there before your 30 days are up and get yourself some moolah back. My difference was $74.20! Hope this helps someone out.

Nope. She just pulled up my receipt (because I asked her if I had to run home to get it) and they did a return/resale and just refunded me the difference. Piece 'o cake.

I just went up to her and said, "I just noticed that the Bionic is considerably cheaper than when I bought it. Since there's a 30-day return policy on phone hardware, I can be refunded the difference, right?" She immediately confirmed. I can't promise they'll be nice enough to look up your receipt or not make you bring in your packaging and such (if they are, indeed, douches) but per policy, they can't tell you no, so long as it's within 30 days.

Yes, because best buy has a 30 day price match guarantee on just about everything they sell. This applies to their own changes in price and to "local businesses" pricing. So if walmart/radioshack lowered the bionic best buy will match the competitor price if you are in 30 days of your phone purchase.
Thanks for this. I hit day 30 today and still managed to get the refund. Good find.

Deeeeefinitely not worth the price tag. I would say keep it in the box until they become available, but due to most 30 day polices and all these defects, I'd just as soon hold off on purchasing the device until it's all available at once like it should have been from the beginning.

Just ordered mine too, and i didn't get no notification either! but happy to buy one.
Quick, order 100 and post it on ebay!
They are available in the play store for $20.
Unfortunately the shipping is $10 and you might have to pay tax ($2.17 - GA) for me.
I am disappointed in you google!
Google Fiber
If you get internet plus TV for $120 per month, you get a free N7 for the remote. With a 2 year contract.
Only catch seems to be moving to Kansas City.
And according to this article, the general public got the N7 a week after the I/O. Someone didn't really check his facts.
At any rate, I hope google fiber works out in KC.
I'm in KC.. and I sure wish the coverage maps were looking a bit better. Or I hope they plan to expand. I currently know no one that lives in the covered area.
Imagine being a mile or two from where the cutoff is currently. If I never get it because of that 2 miles. ugh
I will move but I won't be happy about it. lol
Essentially the plan is TV and Internet, for 120 a month. If you sign a 2 year agreement they waive the 300 install fee.
Your remote control is a Nexus 7 tablet. You can watch on 8 different tv's. 500hour dvr, and 1tb cloud storage.
This is going to put Comcast and Time Warner along with all the others when it goes to other cities out of business. I'm all for it.

The other thing that I think is cool about this is, think of all those households that are iPad and iphone only. Simply because they don't know any better. They're all going to have an android tablet now. The more they use it, surely the more they'll like it.
This could be huge as far as the android vs. ios battle goes.

It cost me $899 + 13% tax ($116.87) = $1,015.87 (Atleast they offered free shipping!)
Now, after paying that much, I better hope this phone is real good. I am already on 4S 64GB but you can say that I am an iSheep!
The fast graphics chip, bigger screen and LTE really got me going. My LTE data plan can finally be put to real use. What you all think?
EDIT: Oh I can also sell off the 4S 64GB Black + several accessories (3 high quality juice packs, otterbox etc) for a good $550 - $600 hopefully. It is locked to BELL. So I am only paying $400 or so out of my pocket.

I think something got lost in translation on that. A 300 year plan is not something investors want to hear. At least not American investors. That's a lot of time for something to go wrong or to fail to turn a profit.

I am a Sprint customer. Their service sucks sometimes but the price keeps me with them. If the competition would offer comparable plans at even only slightly above Sprint's rates I would make the switch. I don't think they have another 300 years in them, especially without an American company at the helm.

Well I thought the same thing, but then i realized that I would rather pay the outrageous price and have ridiculously fast 4G LTE EVERYWHERE!!... unfortunately I am still with sprint
Sprint is alright in my books where I live (after I got the airave the only place left without strong service in my city is covered), but I want 4G everywhere I go, and faster and more 3G, and better phones (not their fault). If softbank keeps most of the prices/plans/contracts the same, and just boosts mobile data speeds and coverage I cant wait for Sprint to be bought out!
Yeah I agree, I hope soft bank improves the network and I think they should transform it into a GSM Network...id love that
