HiYou may not know it, but the nexus 4 uses a micro sim card (like the iPhone 4 & 4s) instead of the standard sized sim card most of you are probably using right now. Now, you can buy one from T-Mobile, for $20, or you can make your own, like I did. I was gonna make a video of myself converting my regular sized sim card into a micro sim but I just forgot to, so I'm gonna post a video link to the YouTube video I watched to convert my sim card. It took less than 5 minutes to do with scissors, a pen, and a ruler. You can buy kits that will convert them for you, but the whole part of this thread is to do it for free, right? Yeah. But anyway its a very simple, painless, and free thing to get your nexus 4 up and going the second you get it.
Here are the videos I used to make the micro sim card:

Last time I checked, carriers give away micro-Sims for free.
Well, at least here in the US.
I did too but when I called T-Mobile and they said I'd have to pay $20, so I made my own.

$20 are u serious?! I walked into a tmobile store this week and said I bought the nexus 4 and need micro sim he gave it for free.

Well then I guess it varies from place to place. Either way they shouldn't make you pay and if they try just make your own.

I think what happened was, the customer service rep you talked to had a such a busy day, that he did not want anymore customers to come in the store
If you're already a T-Mobile customer you can walk in and they'll cut down your current sim card to micro format for you.
I walked in and out in 2 minutes. Now if only I had a Nexus 4 to use it with.
If I'd have walked into my network's shop and been told there was a charge I'd have laughed in their faces and cancelled my contract there and then.
Its free at my tmobile store... as it should be!
You're aware you can also buy either a standard or micro sim online from T-Mobile for only a $1? I bought mine Monday and received it Thursday just in time to use with my Nexus 4 today.
I've called the stores and they have told me anywhere from 10 to 20 dollars. People have said if you just walk in and ask they will give you one.
What I did was try to order one over phone made a note on my account so i just have to walk in and ask for one... any issues they can look at the notes in my account

I have never asked for a micro sim (until now) but they have always been free at my local T-Mo. I just called them to make sure, and I was told that they would charge me $10. They said that they give the sim for free, but a micro sim is $10.
I can guarantee you that I will absolutely not be paying them $10. If they want to charge me $1, like T-Moibile.com, sure. But $10 Eff No.
It might depend on your account, I just got back and there was no charge, even if they ask you to pay you just let them know you were told they were free by CSR,
if all else fails use the OPs cutting method.
I find the US providers are such SCUM! In England they will send you one for free!
I can't believe they have the nerve to charge you $20 for less plastic. Its outrageous
I got 1 for 99cents online from tmobile last week. free shipping + tax came out to $1.07.
I use a prepaid monthly account, so I got the Prepaid Activation Kit.
Called customer service and transferred my line in about 2 minutes.
Avoided the hassle of cutting down the regular SIM ... now if only my N4 was here !

Uh, did you read the thread? Most people report that it's free.
And yes, I've walked into a T-Mobile store the other day, asked them how much it would cost if I brought in a N4 to get a micro-SIM, and the employee, without any hesitation, said that it's completely free.
(I ended up buying a micro-SIM for $1 with free shipping from T-Mobile's website, for the convenience of not having to make a trip to the store when my phone arrives.)

I am going to use my Nexus 4 with straight talk and they don't have micro sims for Tmobile's network so I will have to cut down the sim they send me.
You can just go to T-Mobile and get a free phone

Back in stock at best buy online and stores are getting shipments (two local stores to me have gotten two shipments of 5-10 each this week) - though they sold out within minutes..
But ordered from best buy and it still lists Netflix and on the order has Netflix listed as its own sku.
Hopefully it's still valid

Got my second one. Can't be this deal. 24 dollars on Netflix account is well worth it.

I just got my 2nd one today from in store best buy and got another Netflix code.
Does anyone know if you can combine the codes for 6 months? It seems as though you would since the code says it applies credit to your account, so redeeming another code should just add more credit to the account.

Thanks for the heads up.
even going into the store, some employees didn't know it came in. the door person said they didn't have any. the TV section guy said they didn't have any. walked by an aisle and saw a display of them.
if you're close enough, waste the gas to drive and check yourself.
If you've been looking for one, now's the time to pull the trigger.

looks like they fixed it already.
Yea, every blog and forum it was mentioned at, has replies today, that the codes no longer work. Glad I got in.
I was wondering if perhaps the rumors of a new Moto 360 were fueling the temporary deal?

Maybe LG offered T-Mobile a discount on a shipment of the "R".

I was stupid last night and waited because I called AT&T and they told me I could use my 25% off discount for it in the store. I go to the store today and they are like sorry that's not covered as an eligible item. I am going to hassle them until I get the discounted price now.

25% off 300 is only 75, which is not as good at the T-Mobile deal was. Just doing the math, you had no reason to let AT&T cause you to pause.

yea I was looking at no shipping and getting it that morning in the store.
I received a confirmation e-mail from T-Mobile today. And they said they have charged me for the order. It should arrive in less than a week Of course, the Thanksgiving Holiday may delay that a little bit.
Amazing to catch such a deal so shortly after its release here in the USA.

Where did you purchase your T-Mobile Note 4?
Would you advice purchasing at T-Mobile's online store or at a nearby store in-person?
Please let me know. Thanks
I always prefer buying at the store because if you have a problem with your phone you can go and exchange it right away, and if you order online you have to wait until you get one shipped to you.
i purchased from costco and was grateful i did. i had problems with two note 4s . both having hardware issues. the second one i had also dropped within the first few hours of having it. costco still took it back with a good deal of unsightly blemishes . the third one has thus far worked perfectly.
Costco
Local T-mobile store, though I didn't get any additional freebies - later I found out they were offering $75 in free accessories which I was not advised of, when I brought it to their attention - I was told it was only valid at the time of purchase. OH WELL. I still love my note 4.
Costco...got a free car charger and car phone holder. Also 50 bucks in Costco cash...and...0 down when tmo wanted 420! I'll always buy there from now on.

You have bad credit if they ask you to put money down, they base it off all credit now, so if you have decent credit it'll only be 0$ Down.

That's not necessarily true.. My parents have good credit and paid a small down payment as well.. I think unless you are top tier in credit your down payment amount depends on your credit score, so if your credit is bad you won't even qualify for a dp lol. In which he obviously qualified so not too shabby
I bought mine through a tmobile corporate store. Local Costco doesn't sell any tmobile phones. Sales person tried to sell me cases and screen protector but I told him no since I was planning to buy from amazon (lower price and better delection). Tried to sell me jump but I also told him no. Went home and got a text saying I have jump. Stupid sales people...

I got the same run around from tmobile for the nexus 6. Went to Costco, and since they don't have the n6, got the note 4 for 0 down and couldn't be happier.
Not necessarily free, they would charge you monthly installments. It would be free when you leave the store, so be grateful. Lol
Another note, one of the store I went to was allowing me to choose unlimited accessories as long as the total added up to $100. I'd get $50 dollars back through my next bill.
You should always get the terms and conditions in writing, otherwise, its bs

Back in stock for the moment, although my order status does say it's backordered.
EDIT: 5 minutes later and now it's back to "sold out online." Screwy, or is it just very popular and limited?
I've been refreshing the page every hour or so and it just went back up. At least I was able to order and pay for mine. We'll see how long it takes to ship.

They're back in stock but give a price of $199.99 even though I'm eligible for a two year upgrade. I'm just going to have to wait for a deal.
Does anyone have an inside scoop if BestBuy.com is going to get any more stock in? This phone has been onsale online for weeks now between $50-100 on 2yr contract but perpetually out of stock.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/htc-10-...glacier-silver-sprint/5221000.p?skuId=5221000
Only other place that has this phone on contract is sprint.com and its $200 (after a $50 MIR, hate MIRs) Anyone know of any other retailers selling the sprint variant on contract?
I ordered one on Saturday morning. They sell out quickly so you have to check for yourself every so often throughout each day until you grab one. A new HTC is coming out soon so they may actually drop it down to $49.99 if they get enough stock from HTC.
I was able to get the 10 a couple of weeks ago at $100 on 2yr but only one. My wife wanted a new phone and i saw the G5 was $1 for 2yr contract online there on 10/7. We checked back on 10/8 and online they listed the message Sprint wasnt doing 2yr's any more.
Went in store and they were able to get the 2yr upgrade plan, said it was the last day for it. G5 is ok for her but no root, doesnt seem like there is much going on in the G5 forums sadly. Still better than paying installments or $200 from sprint.com.
