Hi all!
I just wanted to share this support article page I found while searching more extensively into the $300 off at T-Mobile for their variant of the 6T. According to it, the promotion will be ending on November 8th.
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-38863
Dang it. Still waiting on my trade in phone to arrive. Might be SOL!
If you have the imei of the old phone, you can order the 6t now and you have 30 days to send in the old phone.

Ooh that's a good idea. I was hoping to do it in person just so it wouldn't potentially be rejected, but it was like a $50 trade in phone, so I'm not too terribly worried about it either.
Yeah, just go into store, give them the imei, and then you have 30 days.

When I bought mine at the store on the day of Tmo's launch, they told me that if I purchased in the store, I had to have the trade in phone with me, at that time to trade in.
If I would have waited for the phone to come in the mail, Tmo would include a pre-paid postage label as well as a 30 day window to send it in. Not sure if this was just a way to keep my business in the store or not
I went to the T mobile store with my One Plus One phone for trade in. The phone actually had a problem. The sim tray is gone and a part of my previous sim is stuck inside the sim slot. So the phone is kind of useless for me. Other than that the phone doesnt have any problem.
The t mobile employee checked the below
- Whether display is working fine
- What is the model number of the phone
- Connected to charger and checked whether the charging is working fine
He didn't check the sim tray
After that he gave me the prepaid label and envelope and asked me to send it to T mobile.
Does this mean I got lucky and they approved my trade in phone?
Or will there be another set of inspection once this phone reaches T mobile. If so and if they found the sim tray / slot issue , will they deny the trade in offer for me?
From what I heard they do a much more thorough inspection when u mail it back and they can reject the trade in unless the rep approved it in store already.

Is there a way to check whether they have approved it in.store?
The only reason I went with T Mobile is because of this Trade in offer
So they give you paperwork if the phone had water damage, if the screen is cracked, of the device can power on, if the device is locked to a user. I traded in my OnePlus 2 and it didn't have a great charge for the battery but it easily passed.
To answer the question, all the person in the store does is enter the IMEI number. Once they do that, TMobile sends you an email stating you have 30 days to send it back. They give you postage in your email which you can print out.
The in store person doesn't approve it per say, just they make sure the IMEI matches what they have in the computer.
I didn't have my OnePlus 2 in hand but had a family member and me the IMEI and I gave it to them. Then thinking they would send it, I brought it back later only for them to tell me to print out the postage and mail it myself.

My trade in was approved in store..no paperwork..they checked for water damage etc. got the credit show up to my bill in the erp section along with 50 dollars upfront. So yes reps can approve it directly at a corporate retail store. Not sure about authorized resellers.

Is the deal worth it over getting the phone on JOD? What's the best path towards upgrading to the OP7?

If you have an eligible device for trade-in, I'd go that route (EIP).
I would have, but, I didn't have a trade-in, so, JOD was my next best option, only $30 out of pocket in-store & i was on my way.
There's no guarantee that T-Mobile will carry the OP7, could be they only do the T models, or, perhaps, this is a one & done deal, no one really knows at this point.
Worse case scenario for you is you'll have a brand new OP6T at less than ½ of MSRP & if you find it's not for you, you could still sell it & come out ahead.

Thanks. I have a OnePlus One or Pixel 2 XL to trade in. But I still don't have a clear answer on a few things:
* What happens to the credits if I JUMP next November or earlier when I make enough device payments in advance?
* What is the payoff for a SIM unlock? $280 or $580?

You get the bill credits regardless,but,I'd wait until you actually see them before paying off the device in full.
The bill credits actually go towards your entire bill,so, they'll continue until they expire.
As for the SIM Unlock, technically,you need to have the phone for 40 days & pay off the balance ($280),but,a lot of people have had success in getting it already, some still owing on the balance.
I'd call 611 & talk to your regional Team of Experts if you want to try your luck, they're more helpful than the Twitter & chat B.S....

Hey guys,
I just figured out how to get the HTC One for $29 after rebates (visa gift cards), and ordered the phone. This offer is only good this weekend so I thought I would share
First go to http://www.wirelessmarketplus.com and order the phone for $149. That comes with an offer to get a $20 Visa Gift Card After you activate.
After that, go to http://www.htctradeup.com/htcone/100promo/?q=start and use promo code HTC100. this site asks you to trade in your old "smart" phone for $100+ in Visa Gift cards. I am trading in either my HTC Touch Pro 2 or a Motorola Droid 1 that I had laying around (both of them qualified for the $100 back)
So there you have it. after all is said and done, it's $29. hope someone else gets use out of this.

Thanks though.
Wirefly and Wirelessmarketplus are owned by the same company, so it makes since they would both have the same deals.
wirefly still has it for 120 with 20 dollar gift card you just need the right link

quick question, i have an old BlackBerry curve that qualifies but in order to get the $100 do you have to have a phone that was recently active? This blackberry hasen't been active in almost 2 years (ive been using a GS2 but want to keep it as a backup device). Anyone know if this will work?
Thanks

I don't think it has to be active. the HTC questionnaire said nothing about that, only the condition (no water damage, does it turn on, screen ok). The Touch Pro 2 I am turning in hasn't been active in several years.
ok great, yea its in perfect condition so i might as well go ahead. Im grabbing my H1 tmrw so I might as well give it a shot. The stupid blackberry has just been collecting dust anyway haha

Read the terms and conditions carefully. Somewhere in the fine print was a clause that said it had to be the phone active on the account prior to the upgrade. Might be worth activating the old phone for a week or so, just to be sure.
I pulled my wife's old LG Optimus V out of the drawer, took it to the Sprint store and activated it in place of my Shift. Then sold my Shift on Swappa, bought the One, and sent the Optimus to HTC for the $100. Came out ahead $75 and have a shiny new One.

Just a heads up for those who were looking into the trade up offer you have to register on the HTC website and they will send you a specific promo code not sure if just HTC100 works or not... and as for terms and conditions i thought it said you had to send in a previous HTC smartphone (I'm sending in my Evo 3D) I think it was like a customer loyalty promo thing...
but i could be totally wrong if so please correct me I'd hate to be tellin' people the wrong stuff...
ps. you guys S**K, , but really super dissapointed... I pre-ordered mine with sprint silly:dumb idea i know but they gave me an early upgrade) So i missed all the good deals you guys are gettin' now... damn I wish i had waited, the only thing that could make this phone any better would have been getting one free, I mean a phone this amazing for $100 is great but free, man thats sweet!!! good for you guys though:good:

Haha, should've had Sprint push the upgrade, then went online for the good deals.
The HTC100 promo is only good this weekend and only using that link. The pre register is something else (though I did that too). Also I don't see how the phone would have to be active if the site lets me select the Verizon Motorola droid 1 as a valid option.
From the terms of use
7.2 Program Requirements. In order to participate in the HTC One® Weekend Exclusive Promotion you must have an eligible used smartphone device as defined by the on-line Tool. You can identify if the used device is eligible by utilizing the drop down menus to pick the make, model, and carrier for the used smartphone device. If you cannot find the make or model and believe this is in error, you can contact the program administrator at Clover Wireless. The Program is only valid within the United States. You must be a minimum of 18 years of age to participate. The Program is not valid on stolen property. There is a maximum of one (1) trade-in utilizing HTC One® Weekend Exclusive Promotion per individual customer. A valid proof of purchase is a) an original invoice with the IMEI number printed on it or b) a copy of the UPC code with the IMEI code printed on it. A copy of a UPC code is only permitted once as a valid Proof of Purchases. Clover Wireless has the right to reject any trade-ins for promotional trade-in submissions where 1) the used device is submitted by anyone other than the user of the used device and 2) when the used device was not active at the time of the new device purchase and 3) the trade-in voucher was not agreed to by you and 4) there is an invalid proof of purchase or 5) we believe there to be fraudulent intentions. Without a valid Proof of Purchase, you will not be paid the promotional trade-up amount.
It doesn't say had to be active
I just bought another one for my wife's line from Wirefly but they are sold out. Still $149.99 - $100 - $20 = 29.99 is pretty great! Silver only though.
Awesome deal, but not yet complete
HTC One (Black) purchased through Wirefly F&F for $119 today. I followed the aforementioned steps and got the $100 trade-in showing. If I select the "Continue" button (given the following verbiage: "You can click Continue if you've purchased your new HTC One phone and are ready to complete your Trade Up now."), the next screen requires the ESN from my new phone. Obviously I would need the phone in hand to enter that information, so it seems the best I can do is wait for the shipment to arrive from Wirefly.
But that is the rub. I can't complete the on-line trade in process by 5/5 because it's unlikely I will physically have the phone by then. Per the trade-up site, "Complete the online trade in process, by 5/5/13 (no later than 11:59PM EST)". This has me worried I will be denied.
What should I do?
Thanks!

The rep I talked to at wirefly told me the delay in shipping would not affect any promotions. I took that to mean HTC will change the dates like they did for the original promotion because the phones were delayed.

I had did the pre-register like quite a few here did and got a new email from htc on May 1 saying buy new One by May 19 send in old by June 19
http://www.htctradeup.com/htcone/ and from that link you get this link http://www.htctradeup.com/htcone/?q=terms_of_use and in section 8 ( nice pun in there ) you get To receive the $100 trade in value (or actual device trade in value, whichever is greater) in exchange for the Device you trade in, you must register valid email address on or before April 4, 2013 at HTC OneTM Upgrade site, you must purchase and activate a new HTC One by May 19, 2013 and mail in your used Device with a valid Proof of Purchase of your HTC One (copy of UPC or invoice/receipt showing the IMEI) post marked by June 19, 2013.
Looks like the phones are about to start shipping. I had a live chat with support and they were able to give me the ESN number of my new HTC One, so I can finish the paperwork to get my $100

UPDATE: Nov. 11th 2014 --- As many of you have reported, this morning I've also received the "Approved," email. Great stuff! Here is a link to what the approved email and trade-in confirmation looks like. Thanks aznmode.

================================================
So I just clicked on the option to mail in the receipts.
Promo URL: https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/Note4/
HOW IT WORKS:
Get a Guaranteed Total Trade-In of $200* on Any Working Smartphone.
Preorder the Samsung Galaxy Note® 4 from any carrier or retailer in the U.S. now through 10/16 (Verizon customers through 10/22).
Trade in any working smartphone at a participating retailer (minimum $10 trade in value).
Starting 10/10, come back to this site to submit your preorder and trade-in information. Must submit preorder and trade-in information by 11/30/14 at 11:59:59 PM ET. Best Buy customers go in-store to redeem instantly.
Enter your contact information (name, email address, phone number, mailing address (P.O. Boxes are not permitted) and date of birth).
Enter your device’s HEX MEID or IMEI number and Wi-Fi MAC address.
(Applications > Settings > General > About Device > Status)
Upload both preorder and trade-in receipts for validation.
The highlights in RED are what I'll be clarifying:
[I went into the TM store, called Samsung directly 3 times, Live chatted with them and spent half the day trying to get to the bottom of this.]
Can you trade in any working smart phone?
YES, as long as your smart phone is working, BUT the device must be eligible to receive at least $10 as a trade in. Bring your smart phone into a TM store or call them to get a trade in value amount -OR- if you'll be buying the phone from Best Buy, Walmart, Radio Shack or any other participating retailer, bring your old smart phone to them to find out your trade in amount. If any of them will give you more than $10 for your old phone, then you're all good to go. If not, then .... well go buy the cheapest eligible smart phone that you know for sure can get $10 trade in value from TM or any of the participating retailers. What is $200 worth to you? So what if you have to buy a beater eligible smart phone for $50....you're still in the plus $150. No brainer.
Ok what now?
Once you've confirmed that your smart phone trade in is over $10, then you need to obviously pre-order the phone at TM (store/phone/online) or at any of the participating retailers. Best Buy is actually the best because if you're buying your N4 with them, the $200 credit is instant where you can apply it to the purchase price of the N4. (Someone confirm this, but I think Samsung (kiosk/store) that's inside Best Buy don't have TM?) Anyhow, whoever you pre-order from, you will obviously get a receipt for the pre-order......????
What the heck is a trade in receipt?
If you're like the many who have pre-ordered online/phone/store with T-Mobile, you are not alone in scratching your head in trying to figure out what the heck a valid trade in receipt is. What is it exactly that we need to upload? When you pre-order with T-Mobile in the store, they will take your trade in right there and then and that info. should be printed on the transaction receipt. If you are ordering online/phone with T-Mobile, you will receive the Agreement emailed to you with a break down of the cost of your N4. You can then go into your myT-Mobile account and see the pre-paid shipping label included which contains the quote info. This I think you can use to submit the promo offer. So the question about the 'trade in receipt' ??? I think this is it....
Update: According to the TM rep, he said that once the N4 ships out that I will receive a receipt with the trade in value info on that piece of paper. Really? We'll have to wait and see. TM rep's weren't very familiar with the Samsung pro....
So the big mysterious question is: What the heck is a VALID trade in receipt??? Because come the 10th....what do we upload?!
Let it fly guys...please keep it clean and precise.
My main concern is with how this promotion is handled with JUMP. Do you have any additional hoops to jump through?
Thank you for starting this thread.
I was also scratching my head about the trade-in receipt. The TMO rep printed out a screenshot if his screen showing the pre-order and trade-in offer. I'm going to scan that and see if the Samsung site (tomorrow - 10/10/14) will except that.
I hope someone can give me a definite answer on this. I pre-ordered online but checked the box to trade in later, because I hadn't bought a phone to trade in yet.
I was told by two different store employees that when I received my new phone, I could bring it and the trade in phone to the store. Then they would do the trade in receipt, port my Sprint number, and activate the new phone. They would print out all of the receipts I needed to submit for the rebate.
Today a different employee told me that I should have provided the trade in phone information at the time I pre-ordered in order to be eligible for the rebate. He suggested that I cancel my order and reorder with the trade in phone info. Does anyone know for sure?
Note 4 Pre Order
Hi,
I pre-ordered mine at the T-Mobile store, and on the receipt it shows the purchase price of the new Note 4, but also has the "trade-in" information on the phone i gave in (IMEI, make, model) and also the value of it ($13).
So I'm guessing that is the trade-in receipt i will upload with the Note 4 info, unless we find out any other info.
Thanks.
I've called the T-Mobile 800 number twice and haven't been able to get a straight answer yet about having to preorder and do the trade in at the same time. Samsung's Terms and Conditions page: https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/note4/en-us/Rules lists the two as separate steps, so I guess I'll have to go with that.
Evo 4G-what's the least expensive qualifying phone that meets the $10minimumtradein?
I'm still leaning toward the Note4 (the questionable speaker that may be a downgrade from my Note2 speaker leaves me some doubts) but am also interested in the Nexus6 expected to be announced ~10/15 for its 5.9" QHD display on the same size handset+processor with dual front facing speakers & Android L out of the box but would not trade in my SGN2 for $100 (or even $200 with promo) Samsung SGH-T889 Galaxy Note 2 16GB titanium TRADE-IN VALUE $100.00 but would trade in my EVO 4G for the promo if it met the $10 minimum HTC PC36100 APA9292 EVO 4G - Sprint TRADE-IN VALUE $6.00..what's the least expensive qualifying phone that meets the $10 minimum trade in for the $200 promo? :highfive:
Why does BestBuy promo an instant $200 for all carrier preorders except T-Mobile (wouldn't T-Mobile benefit from a BestBuy presence)? I also had planned to buy it full price to use with my $30/mo unlimited data-text-100minVoice T-Mobile prepaid plan that is by far the fastest carrier in my primary use area:good: (but coverage is inferior beyond my primary uses areas)..

I kind of agree with the second employee. As long as the trade in and the preorder are shown together, you should be okay. If they can add it, then great.

Since they're listed as separate steps in Samsung's own document, I'm just going to go with that. I have to wait to get the Note 4 and port my number over before I can do the actual trade in anyway.
Well, as much as I want to help you explore some options, in respect to staying within moral bounds I will refrain myself from saying anything in public. Hint: Look through this forum for a particular post. Wait did somebody say something?

When you receive your Note 4, it will have in it a pre-paid label to ship your trade-in back. Once T-Mobile receives the trade-in, you will be issued a confirmation of the trade in via ??? (I'm thinking it'll either reflect on your next months bill, emailed, or mailed. However, it'd be best to probably just call customer care once you can confirm that T-Mobile has received in the trade-in via tracking it online as the pre-paid label should have a tracking number on there.)
As for bringing it in the store, that may be an option for you since you will be porting your number from a different carrier, but in most cases T-Mobile stores will only take in a trade at the time of purchasing another device. It usually all has to be done at the same time. Therefore, since you are receiving the phone via mail I'm thinking that it automatically defaults to you having to do just that by waiting and bringing it in then.
I'm thinking that the second guy was a little confused himself. If you are active on Sprint now and if that is the device you would be trading in, along with the fact that you did order it online, I think what I've mentioned above is to hold true. For anyone that pre-orders online will follow the normal protocol of waiting to receive the device and to ship it back with the provided pre-paid label.
Bare in mind, most of these workers at any cell phone place don't really have that much of an IQ. I can bet that the majority of people in this community have more knowledge than they do with phones in general. Remember, most of them are just non tech people who are just there to make a pay check and are robots to scripts and training that they receive. I'm used to receiving different answers all the time....hilarious but true.

I hope someone can give me a definite answer on this. I pre-ordered online but checked the box to trade in later, because I hadn't bought a phone to trade in yet.
I was told by two different store employees that when I received my new phone, I could bring it and the trade in phone to the store. Then they would do the trade in receipt, port my Sprint number, and activate the new phone. They would print out all of the receipts I needed to submit for the rebate.
Today a different employee told me that I should have provided the trade in phone information at the time I pre-ordered in order to be eligible for the rebate. He suggested that I cancel my order and reorder with the trade in phone info. Does anyone know for sure?

Yes, this is ideally the way Samsung would want it done, but it's not the only way. The main thing here is having that 'trade-in' receipt to show a trade-in value of $10 or more. That's it. Well of course the proof of pre-order receipt too.
So the way you did it is 1st best. Pre-ordering online and/or Calling 611 to pre-order and waiting to receive the phone, while sending your trade in back is the 2nd best. :highfive:

Hi,
I pre-ordered mine at the T-Mobile store, and on the receipt it shows the purchase price of the new Note 4, but also has the "trade-in" information on the phone i gave in (IMEI, make, model) and also the value of it ($13).
So I'm guessing that is the trade-in receipt i will upload with the Note 4 info, unless we find out any other info.
Thanks.

T-Mobile is not very familiar with the promo. Believe me, I've called them many times and have spent hours on the phone with them and every time I get something different.
Don't count on getting anywhere while speaking to some tech ignorant trained for nothing rep who just reads a script. I've had a lot of bad experience with reps not knowing crap from crap, unless it involved basic account stuff.
I think there's enough info in this thread now to know what needs to be done.
We'll be good either way. :good:

I've called the T-Mobile 800 number twice and haven't been able to get a straight answer yet about having to preorder and do the trade in at the same time. Samsung's Terms and Conditions page: https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/note4/en-us/Rules lists the two as separate steps, so I guess I'll have to go with that.

Well if you went with the Nexus 6 you will still not be getting a good of a deal. The $200 promo is hard to beat.
I'm pretty sure Best Buy is known to not have TM within their Samsung department within the store. You can get TM Pre-Paid from the Best Buy mobile section in the store, but that's all I've seen. I think? Someone confirm this.
The walmart plan that you have is the best TM pre-paid plan for anyone who uses little minutes. You can't beat it.

I'm still leaning toward the Note4 (the questionable speaker that may be a downgrade from my Note2 speaker leaves me some doubts) but am also interested in the Nexus6 expected to be announced ~10/15 for its 5.9" QHD display on the same size handset+processor with dual front facing speakers & Android L out of the box but would not trade in my SGN2 for $100 (or even $200 with promo) Samsung SGH-T889 Galaxy Note 2 16GB titanium TRADE-IN VALUE $100.00 but would trade in my EVO 4G for the promo if it met the $10 minimum HTC PC36100 APA9292 EVO 4G - Sprint TRADE-IN VALUE $6.00..what's the least expensive qualifying phone that meets the $10 minimum trade in for the $200 promo? :highfive:
Why does BestBuy promo an instant $200 for all carrier preorders except T-Mobile (wouldn't T-Mobile benefit from a BestBuy presence)? I also had planned to buy it full price to use with my $30/mo unlimited data-text-100minVoice T-Mobile prepaid plan that is by far the fastest carrier in my primary use area:good: (but coverage is inferior beyond my primary uses areas)..

The Nexus 6 may be $200 less than the Note4 without promos & it's not clear I qualify for this promo given what I've already described (unless someone suggests the least expensive qualifying phone that meets the $10 minimum trade in for the $200 promo) & if I'd be willing to wait for a non-instant credit through Samsung compared to BestBuy (who doesn't carry T-Mobile devices) instant credit but price isn't the main factor in my decision. I'd like to get the Note4 for nearly $200 less especially since I find its speaker disappointing but at this point may wait to hear more about the Nexus6 or potentially get both & possibly return the one I'm least overall satisfied with.. :victory:

Trying to do this right now and its not accepting my IMEI or Wifi Mac! Am i correct in understanding that u need the Note 4's IMEI and Mac Address and not the trade in device?
Because before entering your pre-order date and IMIE and wifi mac Address it says:
"We'll also need your new device's IMEI or Hex MEID number and Wi-Fi MAC address"
(Emphasis on NEW device's)
So we can only submit this once we get our Note 4s?

Correct, you need to enter your Note 4 IMEI number and Wifi Mac address for the rebate.
That's great that you're exercising your options. I hope you find that perfect phone. IMO at the end of the day, the Note 4 will be a better phone. Spec wise, in every way it is. Design wise I think the N4 is much better. I've played with the N4 extensively at Best Buy and I did not notice any speaker issue. In fact, to me it seemed more beefy than the N3. When I had the N3, ViperAudio equalizer brought it to life. For us ROM geeks, I wouldn't ever put my final judgement on the stock TW / Software and its abilities, because it's just a matter of a 'short time' before we got some incredible ROM's that will make the N4 even more than what it is. :good:

Hello friend and family,
I purchase a brand new inbox T-mobile Note 4 (SM-N910T3) through a friend of mine. I was eating with my best friend at ihop in TX, and he saw his old female friend. After some times, she said she got a brand new phone as a gift, n she would like to sell it for $500, my friend wanted it, but he had note 3 already. I saw the box, sealed, and I threw in my offer. She accepted $400 cash. I took her to the atm, paid her. I got home, unpacked my new phone, inserted my sim card, it keeps showing Not registered on network. I did a few search online, I saw that the imei has been blocked on tmobile. I am so devastated even as at now. Please can anyone here help me on how to get my imei removed from blacklisted.
I and my friend notified her, after first communication, she could no longer be reached.
Please I will appreciate any advice. I use Lyca Mobile (T-mobile Affiliated network
)
It's a shame that you're not in the Atlanta Georgia area, A, I've got a brand new condition t-mobile paid in full and can be verified by T Mobile cuz I'm using a prepaid sim card in it right now for sale, email me [email protected]

Your story doesn't add up
However the only way to get it fixed is to have the imei cleaned. These matters can no longer be discussed here.
No I understand you're not I totally get that but I'm saying I can't really say it over a blog, I mean it's not illegal but it's frowned upon as he says in the hangover lol no I don't care I'll go companies in your area that clean IMEI numbers, you just have to have a 5 to call and usually these small phone stores that fix the screens they'll quote unquote clean IMEI number

The right thing to do is call T-Mobile and ask if that phone has been reported, lost or stolen. If it has not they will probably take it off the black list for you. If it has, get it back to the lawful owner thru T-Mobil then call the police and tell them your story. Right now you are possibly in possession of stolen property over $500.00 making it a Felony Offense. I,m assuming the phone cost over $500.00 new. Dont feel bad, I bought a Trek Mountain Bike from a swap store for $50.00. I thought to myself ether someone didn't know what they had or it was stolen and then sold it to the swap shop who definitely didn't know what they had, selling a $900.00 bike for $50.00 LOL. I got it home and called the police and gave them the serial number, and sure enough a cop was at my door about 30 minutes later telling me it was stolen from a collage across town. So I loaded it up in my car and the cop followed me to the Campus PD Station and they gave it back to the lawful kid who owned it. We then went to the swap shop and I got my money back. and he told the cop some kid brought it in for sale. The kid who owned the Bike was very grateful to me for turning it in. Maybe you can make someone happy today to.
I usually buy my phones second hand through craigslist and such. Well, I came across a S8 that had a clean IMEI number and when I checked it through T-Mobile's IMEI checker, it showed up clean with no balance on it. So I meet the guy. Check the IMEI again before handing over my money and it still shows clear of any balance or blocks. I power up the phone, make sure the IMEI number matches on the box and I hand over my hard earned money. Used the phone all afternoon and at night, I dont know why, I decided to check the same number I've been checking all day and now it shows that there is a balance on the phone. HOW THE HELL DID THIS GUY DO THIS???? I always cover all my bases when buying a used phone, but this came out of left field. Any input or suggestions???
Mobile insurance will cover lost or stolen. What is to stop a man selling a phone from telling the insurance provider or the carrier in this case... That the phone was stolen after selling it? The minute it gets reported as stolen the Imei will flag. I would recommend calling TMobile... Provide text messages and proof of sale if you can.

Its still working. Its not flagged as stolen. It went from not having an account balance on it to having an account balance on it. Im assuming that the seller will not pay on it anymore which would lead to its eventual blacklisting. But how can a phone have no balance and then a balance on it?
Maybe he was selling same day he bought it and wasn't showing in their systems yet. I know sometimes it can take 24 hours to show up.
I got mine for $400 and luckily it went smooth as butter.
The same thing happened to me on swappa. I bought the phone and when I tried to sell it on swappa too the phone has a balance with tmobile. I asked swappa and the told me that tmo page is not up to date and sometimes give false info. I think the phone was bought the same day or something like that. Im lucky paypal covered me.
I have heard that phones will not show as financed until they are activated for the first time. So buy the phone, remove the sim, and it wont show as financed until its activated for the first time.
Always meet at a tmobile store and have them check the guys account.
Well the phone is currently working. I guess Ill just have to wait until he stops paying and the phone gets blocked. Hopefully at that point, we will have root and I can change the imei
Submit a payment, sell phone, credit card chargeback. (This is just a guess)
Could be a "Buy one Get one" deal they just started....guy got 2 phones, opened 2 lines to get the second "free one", then canceled the line after selling phone to you. This would make the phone from the canceled line go back to owing full device price...

TMobile BOGO doesn't work like that. Your line has to be in good standing for at least 2 months or so till you prepaid Mastercard comes in. Then you can cancel it. If you cancel before your MasterCard comes in, your BOGO deal invalidates.
edit: nevermind. This will only cause an argument. Don't feel like dealing with it.
If gets blocked, just pay $50 to clean/imei repair. After this your phone will never get blocked. You wont be able to file insurance though. I would call tmobile and register the device in your account. If he was using his number to text you to your existing number (now registered with your s8), insurance will deny his claim. Thats why i always do a test call with my sim on the bought phone calling the sellers number. This will auto deny the claim since insurance assunes claimant knows you.

I just pre-ordered my Sprint Note 8 online at bestbuy.com a couple days ago. Says I will receive it by the 15th. Has anyone received theirs yet? I got the email confirmation of my order but when I login my account on best buy to check order status, I get this error message. The money has already been deducted out of my bank account. Anyone else experiencing this? Just want to make sure my order went through.
I just checked. Mine (VZW) are still sitting in preordered status. I wonder if I'll see them on the 15th, or after. My experience with BB orders is that they rarely come when the order page says that they will.

Yeah not sure. Last time I pre-ordered was my s8 plus thru sprint best buy but it was for store pickup, not actual shipping and it was ready for pickup on the release date, not any sooner.
I wonder why VZW was allowed to ship over 2 weeks early. I cancelled my BB order because VZW told me I would not get the 480 for my S7 Edge if I bought from Best Buy. Best buy said I would but once a VZW order was received I pre ordered from VZW last Tuesday and I had the phone on Weds. It sucked that I missed out on the 150 off but I'd be flaming mad if I could not get my 480 bill credit. My bet is anyone who ordered from Best Buy will get their trade in as t says it right on the BB page. Make sure you take screen shots in case you have an issue later.

Yea. I have no idea why in-store pickup wasn't a choice this time around.
I received mine last Thursday or Friday, a week ahead of the official Sept. 15th launch. I purchased the unlocked version.
I pre-ordered mine on Saturday online from bb and was having second thoughts because Verizon had told me I was not going to get the 480 if I did my deal with bb. So I ordered it anyways and logged on to my Verizon the note 8 was on my account already and was able to do the promo with the trade in. 12.75 a month for a note 8 is one hell of a deal. And I got me email saying I'll get it on the 15. Hope sooner
I actually just got a email that mine has shipped. Got tracking info for UPS. Should be here in the next couple days. Excited!!!!

I ordered from BB. Received it on the 6th. I tried to trade in my s7 edge online, but the page was experiencing problems. I chatted online and they said I could go in store. So today, that's what I did. The rep said they couldn't give me the promotional price, that I would have to go to best buy, I asked him to ask a manager. Same thing. So, At BB, they tried logging in on the same page I did, same problem. The BB manager called the district manager for Verizon (their buddies) and she said, I Will receive the promotional trade in. She said they should've done it at the corporate store. I told her what they had told me, and she told me she would be there at that store at 630 tonight, and for me to come in and she will personally take care of it! She said we have 14 days from the purchase date to decide if we want to trade in. I will be going there in like 30 minutes. So, I will report back with my findings! Until then...

Unreal. They need to have a quick online "class" for all corporate Verizon employees so they know the deal. It's a deal struck between best buy and Verizon - this shouldn't be such a hassle for customers. Luckily, the dude at my corporate store already told me I could walk in and give it to them and they'd apply the discount.
All you should need to do is activate it then log into your carrier site. Once the system sees you have a Note 8, the discount should show when you go to the trade in section. At least that is how it worked on Verizon site. Before I activated my Note 8 it said my S7 Edge was worth 175. Once I activated the Note 8 and did their trade in it showed the 480 bill credit option. Just make sure you don't click you want cash. You'll only get the crappy value.
Got mine
I ordered online on the 9/6. I got it on 9/8. The only problem I had was I couldn't activate it because the SIM card number printed on the box was different than the one in the Note 8. After 2 calls to Verizon and 1 call to BB, I was finally able to activate after giving Verizon the correct SIM number. BB screwed up causing me to spend over an hour activating the Note 8. My advice is to check the SIM card in the Note 8 with what is printed on the box if you have problems activating. Otherwise, I'm enjoying the Note 8. But, I'll probably not uss BB again to buy a phone.
Ordered on 24th and received my unlocked Note 8 today.
Ok, Here's my report: The lady I was supposed to be meeting, had an emergency and couldn't show up. She called the store manager and told him what to do. Basically, all they have to do is go into your account and TRY! If the device was on your account, on the line that your note 8 is now on, it will work! If they say it won't, ask them to try anyways and see the trade in value. It will show the "normal" trade in value and underneath is a checkbox labeled - Promotion. Click and then they inspect the phone, blah, blah, blah. $306 for a note 8, 12.75 a month for 24 months.
A side note, the credit is actually $20 off a month for 24 months. I asked about paying off the balance for a future upgrade, he said he wasn't sure how that would work, but thinks you would have to pay the actual current balance and the $20 off a month would roll over to the next phone. However, he was unsure so take that with a grain of salt.

I ordered the N8 through BB and here is how it went:
9/5 - received text that my order has shipped
9/6 - received phone and text from VZW that my port was complete, called and tried to get phone activated but no go
9/7 - called to tried to get it activated again, got hung up on several times, they told me it wouldn't work until the 8th at noon
9/8 - noon came at went and no-go, called VZW, BB, Straight Talk and was told that it wasn't going to be live until 9/10, went to BB and VZW store and same thing except BB was very rude and unhelpful. Took to twitter @VZWSupport and @bestbuySupport and within 15 minutes my phone was working. Coincidence?
I love the phone. I installed Bk Disabler and removed the bloat. Tether is now working. I'm hoping someone has a way to disable knox and OTA.
Edit FOUND how to disable OTA in developer options.
Thanks.
Looks like my phone got delivered today. Can't wait to get home to check it out and get it activated. Will it come with a new SIM card or can I use the one from my s8+?

Unlocked has no sim card. Carrier supplied ones typically do.
Just take the SIM from your s8+ and toss it in the Note8. That's what I did.
Mine is unlocked and I'm on Verizon so after putting in the SIM the phone had to be rebooted and it sat at a funny looking "configuring" screen for about two minutes, then rebooted and it was ready for service immediately. There's no wifi calling option on unlocked but I'm not in a hurry to get it anyways. Not having all that Verizon crap is worth losing ho-hum features IMHO.
