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?

First time eBay seller help?

Hi! I searched but couldn't find the answer so ha!
Lol anyways.
Okay so I found out you have to pay a small fee to sell and once you sell your item correct?
Okay so does ebay jut deducted the fee from your item sell money /PayPal account? Or do they take it immediately from your debit card on your paypal ? Or do you have to pay straight up before you can post your item?

Haven't sold in a while but from what I remember, you pay an insertion fee, depending on what it is and then you hve to pay a %'age of the total amount it sells for.
They set up an account for you and you have about a month to settle the balance iirc.
So if you need to wait for the item to be paid for before you're able to pay Ebay that's not a problem. It's all pretty easy once you've done it for the first time.
I think that's how it works anyway....
Also, did you just ask a sensible question??

Elgoog is your friend.
http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html#fees

It depends on how you sell it. The cheapest fee is with a starting price of 1 dollar and selling it by auction. The "buy it now" commission is pretty steep.
Enviado desde mi LT26i usando Tapatalk 2

Also, do an advanced search on feebay for "completed listings" of what you want to sell to see how they have done recently.
Start it as an auction like a $1, but put a buy it now price a little bit above what a comparable phone sold for. Maybe like 10% higher. That way if someone is hard up they will buy it to get it immediately.
Don't take checks. Require immediate paypal payment and give them next business day shipment. Not next day delivery unless they want to pay for it. Just promise to ship the next business day. (and do it) People are more apt to bid on yours over others if they know they are going to get good/prompt service.

Okay so after I sell it
They charge my fees on my paypal account?

Well, yes and no. Paypal charges fees of their own. Ebay will give you an invoice, at the, end of the month IIRC for your listing and the seller's fee(s)

Yes, usually towards the end of the month for me. PayPal take their chunk when you transfer your money from them to your bank.
Seriously, dude, Google already has all these answers. Try using it in future, and don't just rely on the first few results before you create a thread on here. Google's servers are a little bigger than xda's

OK, So It shipped from Adorama! (No Nans)

Sorry if this should be in another thread but I think it is important to know as some people may have done what I did...
So I ordered through the Play store when the Nexus first went up on the 27th and I got the 8Gb. At this point, I still have received no communication or final charge from Google. So that sucks!
Anyway, today I saw the Verge post about Adorama getting stock so I figured I take a flyer and place an order for a 16Gb (which is probably better to have than just the 8Gb) and choose overnight shipping - which was like $27 but there was no tax because Adorama is an NY Co and I am in PA. I emailed them to ask if there was any chance it would ship today and I would get it tomorrow, but I never received a reply from their customer service.
I did, however, receive an email that (I think) they sent to everyone who ordered online saying that the Nexus 7 was backordered for 10-14 days and I could cancel, or wait and not be charged until it shipped etc. Well I paid via Google checkout and I was charged immediately after the order and the charge was never removed.
So I figured I would give until tomorrow to see if I hear back from them, so I haven't cancelled the order.
So finally a few moments ago I went to the Adorama site to check on my order status and to my surprise it has SHIPPED! They attached a tracking number and the package is already in route in NJ and should be hear by tomorrow at 10:30AM!!!
What is weird is that I have received no email from Adorama with the tracking info nor has my google checkout (wallet) been updated with the tracking info - it still says "order not shipped."
The moral of the story: If you ordered from Adorama check your order on their website ASAP. And it is every possible that Google Play orders may be shipped already but the Google Wallet info has not been updated.
I won't be on here for long so I cannot answer many questions or post Screenies, but Good Luck and Good Night! :fingers-crossed:

ok

Good luck!

one more thing...
and now I have received and email confirmation from Adorama and by Google Checkout has been updated with the tracking. So it is all going smoothly.... as of now.

Same thing here says it shipped. I will have it by 10:30 am tomorrow....
I did get the back ordered email earlier.

If i had a dollar for every time i read "sorry if this should be in another thread" in the past 72 hours, i'd have like $27.00

crap. I wish I did overnight shipping. placed my order today and tracking says it's at NJ too! that's amazing. only thing is that I did standard shipping and I'm out of town sunday... agh!!

Please post back if you get the $25 credit and the movies/magazines/etc.

All Nexus 7 tabs will get the $25 credit no matter where you get it, but ONLY the first gmail account that logs into will get the credit.

I'm very tempted to cancel my order and get this right now. I have to play an extra $25 for tax cause google is located in california on top of the unexpected 50$ price jump to for the 16gb and I still haven't recieved anything from them eventhough i ordered on the 27th.

Hi,
I created this thread to discuss and for people who buy live outiside then the google play support country such as me from M'sia.
We couldn't buy it directly from the Google Play store unless there's a valid us/any country address that supported.
This can ease other user that want/tempting to get one but having no idea on proper method and precaution on doing it.
Nexus 4 are now only available at Google Play : USA,UK,Spain,Germany,France,Japan,Australia & Canada
Anyone whom have experience bringing via post method to unsupported country via any method can post
but always do follow forum rules.
If proper method is proven working will be tagged and quoted to #post2
Anyone whom want to check availability of stocks can always check on : http://www.n4checker.com/
A recommended website for latest update of stocks for N4,N10
We also want to hear all the user buying experience and how to device perform.
(If the N4 Shattered do post a picture & mention how it bricked?)
(we can have special post to let people know the precaution to take for ensure other user doesn't repeat this mishap)
Note
** Keep your disccusion ON-TOPIC **
** Follow XDA forum rules **
** No swearing & rude over other **
** This is not a market place therefore selling thing here is not allowed **

For Buying Method Outside from Google Play.
If you can't access Google Play for Nexus 4
Do use proxy such as hidemyass and copy this link for N4 8GB : https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_4_8GB?id=nexus_4_8gb&hl=en
You need valid payment method to continue.
Over M'sia there's people willing to ship with extra changes (Around RM100)

I tried to buy it in the uk, with 3 different proxies from Denmark (1 paid, Daves proxy and UK hidemyass.com proxy) none of them worked.
I used english creditcard as well as an english address. It failed on transaction.
So you're telling me it is possible to buy it from other countries?

This is wrong
Setup my billing address in California around 1 month ago.
After notice that there is an additional tax, i changed the shipping address to Oregon, but forgot to update the billing address also to Oregon.
Ordered from Asia with a VPN to Los Angeles.
Credit Card also from Asia.
Latest update:
Departure Scan by UPS to my mail forwarder

i had this problem too and was willing to try this method.
but now the ones on ebay are becoming a little bit cheaper. i guess by the end of the month/mid January they will be fairly priced

I am in China and use GAE to access Google Play without any problem. I have purchased Nexus 7 and Nexus 4 from Google Play.

In which country do you live?
Any problem to use the phone with local carrier ?

bought from the Dominican Repiblic
hello, I order mine two days ago (29 Jan.) from the Dominican Republic using my Galaxy S3 (because I was at work), I used a TunnelBear free service to access the Play Store (US), and I register my credit card (from my country) in my google Wallet account to pay with it.
I shipped to a carrier's address in Miami, I also put the shipping address as the billing address. I was afraid to get the order cancel but all went well. They sent me emails like normal and the package was deliver today..... Just 2 more days to have it in my hands.

It is possible to buy with a foreign CC (I think), but Google will only ship to an address in the Play store home country. One way to get around this is to have Google ship to a US shipping depot (like this one: http://bluewatershippingdepot.com/) and then have the depot ship to you.

google cancelled my dec. 6 order wtf? no reasons why...

no reasons were stated, they just cancelled my order without my knowing or asking...wtf is this. i was waiting badly for this phone since i sold my other nexus 4. it was supposed to comes 6-7 weeks which is basically this week or next week and they cancel it? GG, never shopping with them again.

ofc i will....this post was just to inform others of google's shady shopping and customer service routines.

they did the same thing to me. no explanation. no info given on who cancelled it. nothing. of course I did receive the notice of cancelation right as one of their employees emailed me to let me know he was looking into my order issues. I'm assuming he did it, but no proof. call in and ask to speak with a level 2 person. the supervisor I tried didn't even know how the play store works

Let us know. Maybe they ran out

Could be they went to charge your account again before they shipped it and you had insufficient funds in your account to cover the transaction. They re-charged my account 3 days before they shipped it in November after being backordered for 2 weeks.

lmao they've been out of supplies weeks though. but i thought they would put my order as a backorder until they get more supplies, not cancel it. i just called google and dude says he don't know what happened and why. i'ma call again and try to talk to someone else, and then a supervisor. this is BS. this means that google playstore must really not have any supplies coming soon.

what are you talking about? they only charge your account when they are about to send it out. first of all, they charged the account for my first order in november and when my credit card refused, google play send me a message stating the issue and i called my credit card and fixed it. but that was the first order. this second order i didn't use credit card and the payment option i chose has more than enough funds in it. and also, if there was a problem, they should have informed me, not just cancel it.
