Upgrades via Best Buy? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

Hey everyone.
I have two phones through sprint with the family plan. E4GT and MoPho 4G. Both are eligible for an upgrade.
Best Buy currently has the GS4's for $49 with 2 yr extension. However, it won't allow me to add 2 phones to the cart at the same time.
Does anyone know, can I checkout with one upgrade, then checkout again with the second one?
Was just afraid that after the first one, it wouldn't let me upgrade the second one.
Thanks

Sorry, I should have put this in Q&A. Was stuck in traffic jam when I started it and clicked the wrong forum.

Just go to Radioshack or use their website. Same price right now I just got one from there and they were awesome!

Nexus 4 at T-Mobile b&m

Just letting everyone know that I was able to pick up a Nexus 4 at a t- mobile retail store. At first they told me they were in stock but couldn't be sold yet. About 10 minutes later this story changed and they said they could sell it to me. Pricing is different than buying directly from Google but it is available.
This was in Raleigh North Carolina.

My local T-Mobile also has a few Nexus 4's in stock. I'm with AT&T though so I don't know if it has any T-Mobile bloatware on it or not.
Was the pricing full retail for TMO or Google?
$549 for the 16 GB Nexus 4 at my local T-Mobile.
Full retail unless you go with a "classic contract". But the classic contracts are inflated and cost more in the long run.
I have not found any bloatware.

I purchased one at the College Station, TX TMo store. It has zero bloatware. Also, it rooted just fine and is already running cm10.1. this is a pretty incredible phone.

Are you with T-Mobile or AT&T?
There is no bloatware on the T-Mobile nexus 4. I have one and there is no T-Mobile crap on it.

Fore that much money, you could have bought a bnib nexus 4 on amazon and a charging stand or 3. Why would you pay that much?

Are you sure you're not getting ripped off? I got my Nexus from T-Mobile and it was $499
I got mine for 400 back in Dec

Well I didn't buy it. Thats the price they told me when I called a couple hours ago.
$500 plus tax at 10% is about $550. Seems a little high... Maybe that's with activation?

If you're in Lansing, MI there are a few Nexus 4s in stock at the T-mobile at Frandor Plaza. Hit up Kerry, he'll hook you up. :good:
I just picked mine up from T-Mobile. New promotion at work demanded the capabilities of a smartphone for email. Works paying for it so might as well get the phone I want and not wait
I was at CES and knew from the rep there it would be in stores by the 16th. Thanks BTW from the dude with the white helmet. Managed to hold off on getting a smartphone since they came out. Yay me for being poor till now.
I tried the Droid DNA and hated Sense. This thing is beast.

Yeah they have it at a couple of stores here in San Antonio for $218 with a 2 year upgrade or new line/contract.
I was just going to buy it outright. But I decided to let my companies monthly cell expense pay for the phone via contract.

No bloatware. It is the same n4 that you can get from the play store.

U. S. A. Tmobile

I would think it would come out relatively close to the other two providers, has anyone got any ideas?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
I would think their released date would be 4/19 like Sprint and AT&T but Tmobile has the IPhone coming 4/12 and the GS4 5/1. Those are the two most popular phones most people want. HTC One may get put on the back burner, but the HTC trade in program to get the 100 Visa Card states you have to buy the HTC One by 4/26. Maybe T-Mobile will release the One on 4/19 with no promotion.

I got mine for free through HTC's Champions program. 250 deposit that they refund part of when you send your qualifying device back to htc. I'm lucky enough to have a Note II that is offering a full deposit refund :good: The downside of this program is I have to wait 2 weeks for them to ship it out to my store Not sure if the program applies to sprint corporate though I'm a 3rd party store.

It would appear this is the case, on the site they specifically sate "does not apply to corporate" and only list Preferred/Platinum dealers on the approved dealer list.
So, can employees buy it? Not some HTC program. I mean is it available for employees of Sprint to purchase from our company on our computer at work.
I am only asking because I live on the far side of town from the employee store. I would hate to make the trip for no reason.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
No not yet. They put it up through there site to get people to trade in there galaxy s3 straight up (htc rep said it was aimed at the s3)
It might be a little while inventory is strained and still no black available. But on a positive note they have been quicker with employee availability minus the iPhone

Its only through there site you pay them 250 for the phone they send it, you send yours in and they cut you a check for it
Update on availability I'm the advocate at my store and my phone had to be returned to inventory cause of constraints so.... Expect even longer of a wait

My understanding is (got this confirmed by corporate when trying to get iPhone 5) that even if you buy the handset full price even if directly from manufacturer, you cannot activate it on an employee account or you risk getting on corrective action up to termination. This was huge deal when the EVO 4G came out. A manager in my district almost got fired for this...
Wait until sprint sprint sends communication to employees that you can buy it for swac accounts. Just my .02 cents

I had no problem activating mine on a sero plan through sprint's online chat. Idk how sprint corporate works but I dont see why it would be an issue.
I don't think that is true. I have bought numerous devices and activated them before they were available to employees.
BTW, any word on if this is available yet?

Switching from Sprint to T-mobile, can I keep this phone?

Hi all, because sprint is removing my discount (I've been a customer for over 10 years) it is cheaper to move to T-mobile, but it has already been over 14 days and I cannot return my current sprint phone.
I currently have it rooted and unlocked, but I'm wondering if it is possible for me to just somehome keep this phone, but use it on the T-mobile network instead of having to sell this, and than buying a new one and losing money.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated,
Thank you!
Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't they make it illegal to take your phone to a new carrier without your current carriers permission. Granted I do not know the details. But from what I understand the networks are not compatible so I do not think you would be able to do that. One is CDMA and the other is GSM.
I'm surprised no one's answered this simple question.
To answer your question, no. No way in hell. Sell your phone and get it T Mobile Phone simple as that.

They removed your discount when you upgraded. Go back into the store, fill out the form and fax it to Sprint. You will then have your discount back. You just have to re-verify every 2 years.

No, for two reasons...
1. The phone won't do GSM inside the US.
2. Even if it could do GSM in the US, it lacks UMTS 850, UMTS 1700 and LTE 1700, hence performance on T-Mobile as a smartphone will be poor.

Anyone thinking about jumping ship?

Seeing as how the Nexus 5 unlocked from the play store can work with Sprint, who here is planning on jumping to that phone? Pros/cons?
And with most gs4s selling on Craigslist in my area for 400, might end up being an even trade. Has me considering jumping to lg. Even though I've never had an lg device, my experience with the gnex was great.

I bailed
Expecting my N5 to reach me on Wednesday. I kept my S4 on MF9, rooted (didn't install MJA), and put it on CL clearly indicating that. I put it on there today for 500, and I have 2 offers (who indicated that they wanted it as it is - without installing 4.3 - must be familiar with the KNOX issues after installing MJA).
Of course things can change till money changes hands, but so far so good! Ordered N5 using discover card, for a 5% cashback, so that worked out even better.
so we can purchase the the device through play store and just transfer our sprint phone line?
