So I bought the S6 Edge for Verizon at best buy on launch day.. Because I was doing the Verizon edge I also purchased the warranty through best buy...
I'm now switching to T-Mobile and I'm purchasing the regular S6, however, I'm getting it through T-Mobile. I'm not sure if it's possible, and I don't think it is since I'm purchasing the phone directly through T-Mobile, but wanting to know if my best buy warranty would transfer to the new phone..

It won't. Even if you buy it from best buy I don't think it will. They may cancel it and open a new warranty

Thanks. I called them, they said I could cancel it and they'd refund me.

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.

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

I saw signage for HTC Champions at the Radioshack where I work... There are Radioshack everywhere. See if you can do it there.

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?

Colts,
I''ve done the research for you. None of the major carriers will activate an unlocked phone. Only one is T-Mobile. You can get a SIM card for ten bucks and pay twenty a month for 550 mb. That's what I did.

It's not a phone. That is something to keep in mind. You can use Google Voice or other call-over-data software, but there isn't native phone functionality. It's great as a camera that can still run applications, but if you are looking for a phone first with a great camera second, it probably shouldn't be the first choice.
As for activation, most carries do not WANT to activate an unlocked device, but if it has a clean ESN, they will eventually agree. Worst case, you get whatever free 4g piece of garbage they are offering, pop the sim in the one you want and put theirs on eBay. That is if you even need 4g, which in this case you would.
Not entirely true. If you have an unlocked Galaxy Camera, you can get T-Mobile data plan for $20 bucks (550 mb). Using Google voice and Talkatone, you have a functional phone. No difference whatsoever from a regular smartphone. As a matter of fact, I turned off my S3 and was getting regular calls through "the camera."
My only warning is make sure it's unlocked. Amazon sent me an AT&T locked phone instead of the unlocked that they advertised. I did return it and I'm waiting to get a new "unlocked" phone today. Also, boot in odin mode to make sure it's not a used phone. Mine had been flashed 5 times by someone else and then sold to me as new. Beware, lot's of crooks out there.

For those of you planning to get the device with 32GB on Sprint, you are out of luck
I called Sprint to pre-order and they only have 16GB. The rep does not know if Sprint will carry the 32GB

the 32gb from the play store works on sprint you just have to get one of their lte sims. This was confirmed yesterday

I did order from the play store.
The reason I called Sprint for pre-order is that my line is eligible for update and I want to take advantage of the savings by renewing my contract.
If Google makes the 64GB available, I will go for it

If you order through sprint at the discounted and subsidized price, will the phone be locked into sprints network? If so, will sprint allow unlocking at the end of the contract?

Just get it on Google Play. It's cheaper there anyway. Why would you pay a contract fee when it's cheaper to go off-contract and get sim-only contract?

If it's the same as when i needed a SIM for an iPhone 5 a while ago, walk into a store and ask for a SIM. They wanted to charge me $50 for a SIM. I pulled the saddest sob story ever and the manager felt sorry and gave me one for free since it was my "first" time.
I used my dads upgrade! I get a 16 GB one for about $86. $50 rebate and selling my Glxy 3 for $80.

Does anyone know if the Nexus 5 that Sprint will be selling is unlocked?
I had a plan to buy it from Sprint, pay it off and then cancel my service with Sprint. (Don't ask why)
So I need to know if I can just take it and get it activated at T-Mobile after I cancel Sprint.
I'm definitely going to try and activate this sooner. My phone arrives today. Will check Sprint stores and Best Buy for the sim.

They're selling the same model as the one on the playstore, which is unlocked.
Have you got your tracking numbers for Sprint yet, the suspense is killing me. Should have ordered from the play store.

If you didn't buy it in the initial hour of release the play store is backed up for weeks (mine arrives today, but alas, I will not be home until Wed...
I'm assuming the sprint pre-orders won't ship until the 8th? May be quicker for you to just snag one at the sprint store..

It sucks that they want to charge for a SIM. Maybe I can weasel out of it since my original plan was to just pay the $100 ETF and switch it to T-Mo prepaid. If it gets them more money, maybe they'll give me a SIM so I stick around for another few months out of laziness.
Basically I figured $100 to switch to TMo early was worth it since I'll be paying $30/mo instead of $80 and my contract has 4 months left on it. But if I can get the SIM for free and easily switch to TMo after the contract ends, I may just stick around for now.
The only thing that sucks is that 11/8 date. I could go to Walmart and get a TMo SIM tomorrow once my phone gets here but if I stay with Sprint a little longer, I'll only be able to play with it on WiFi until Friday.
Hmmm.....
I'm coming from at&t to Verizon. I just ordered a g2 on the Verizon edge plan. I'm the type that likes to switch phones yearly..so I'm hoping this plan isn't riddled with hidden BS. Anyone care to elaborate on the pros/cons that may not be widely known about this plan?
Looking forward to Verizons strong coverage..thanks guys

You're paying about 88 more than a 2 year contract over those 12 months, and if you ever decide you don't want to upgrade you still have to end up paying the full retail of the phone.
not to mention you have to trade your phone back in whenever you do decide to upgrade, its kind of a bunk deal if you ever want to get out of service with them.
You do have to trade yout phone back in, but you only have you pay 50% of the phones retail value in order to upgrade.
I knew there would be some drawbacks...but we'll see. Thanks guys

Think these will show up in stores? I'm currently vzw and very willing to switch carriers cause I know they'll cut a sweet deal to convert me. I would want one of these on a 2 year and would hope to grab it in store. Think they will show up that way? Don't want to spend $700 for it... Thx...
