ericdabbs Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 You know you can also swap devices online as well right? Please say yes Not sure. I have never done it before. However since I still have a Wimax device I think swapping between a Wimax and LTE device might be pain which you might have to do it in the store OR this is just an issue I have read that is only applicable to SERO plans. I have read for SERO plans that there needs to be a code change to your plan when you upgrade from a Wimax to LTE device that you have to go through a CSR but I assume if you swap between from a LTE device to Wimax device that you might have to do the same by going through the CSR.

Yuhfhrh Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 WATTT?!??!? What does the 4G LTE icon look like? Can you post a screenshot? https://db.tt/Rgl06xse And for those wondering, LTE reception is nearly identical to the Galaxy S4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why Sprint is all of a sudden adding a 4GLTE icon vs. just 4G? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how sero works when it comes to activation but yeah I think you're right, I don't think the system will let you swap between a wimax/lte device online.

teeitup Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Just picked mine up. Best Buy price matched Amazon (3 bills). Nice to see Amazon already selling this for $50 less than Sprint although it temporarily out of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Sprint this shouldn't be an issue since you can just listen to streaming radio which is more clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few spots in my commute where data is slow and will cut out streaming. Also the FM tuner used less battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wirefly had it for the same price and this morning was not showing sold out/backordered although that may have changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenavo34 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I had a Photon and switched to a Note 2. I wasnt able to do it online. You have to call employee care dept to get the swap to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digiblur Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 IT HAS AN FM RADIO!!!! I guess they felt that was a good backup for when you have no LTE and your buddy next to you was sitting on 800 LTE listening to Pandora. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading somewhere that Sprint was going to start putting FM radios in all their phones 2014+. Makes sense considering they give out unlimited data.

Makes sense considering they give out unlimited data. They've done it off and on, even the EVO LTE had it, but I will be honest I think I used it twice in the 4-5 months I had the phone. Most chipsets have the support built in and it uses the headphone wire for the antenna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
