Not true.  In fact you can go to their buyback site right now and see they are already matching the T-Mobile prices.  You can even do the transaction there and lock in the pricing if you want.

Yup. I checked Friday and the offer was $250. Yesterday it had gone up to $351.

My gf's 5C has been running like a dog since I put the GM on. Facebook scrolls super slow and freezes, same with safari. Apps will lock for 5-10 seconds then unfreeze randomly. I'm hoping it's just because the apps have not been updated for iOS8 yet. Have you noticed any of this?

Nothing like that on my end. My us bank app no longer allows me to scan my checks and have them deposited. The camera closes and then the app closes but other than that I've had very few issues.

Every now and then my notifications will be goofed up. My phone will vibrate and then a minute later the ringer will go off. I just restart the phone and it's okay. It hasn't been doing it as much since I installed the gm but it's still there. I've never erased the phone and started over to see if it fixes it due to me getting the 6. I'll live with it until I get my new phone.

If you look up the app, in iTunes does it show ios8?

Everything Plus is a plan with subsidies.  Easy pay can only be used on the non-subsidy plans.

Go back and say, I am not switching my plan. I would like to upgrade on my existing plan. If they say they can't, ask to speak to the manager. I am upgrading my phone on friday and I am on the 1500 ED plan. I have been told by sprint reps, chat reps, and 2 people in the store I can do this. Including an employee here on this forum. There is no reason you should not be able to upgrade.

I believe Everything Plus is an employee referral plan.  To upgrade on that plan, you may be stuck doing it online only or over the phone.

Oh crap. I read that too quickly and thought it said Everything Data. I have no idea what everything plus is. Sorries.

It just says compatible with 4.3 and later IIRC from 10 seconds ago. Nothing about iOS 8 even in the changelogs. I didn't think it would be updated already.

Typically they'll add it to the what's new section. Apple has started to approve ios8 apps already.

 

Either way I know its very frustrating

Eh. More frustrating that my bank held back more money than what I would have got if I used the app but that's their problem.

I know I'm using software that isn't all the way released yet so I expect a few issues. I'm not too worried about it.

Yep. I went there twice and got different answers both times. When I go in on Friday morning, I am just going to tell them what I want, what I was told. Period end lol. I want my phone bought back at 351 like I was told it would be, I want to pay 150 for my early upgrade fee, and I want to apply the amount of the buy back to the price of the phone. It's very simple. I hope it doesn't take longer than 20 minutes

I got a preorder in this afternoon and just went ahead and subsidized with a 2 year agreement.  So many carriers offer to buy out other contracts these days that i don't even worry about it

Since it shows my order as "at our warehouse", does this mean I might actually have a chance of mine being delivered on Friday? I finally was able to get my order in about 4:45 AM on Friday.

 

 

The text has changed slightly if you were looking for an iPhone 6.  Looks like all iPhone 6 preorders are good to go.

I called because I haven't gotten any sort of email and they're telling me my order might not have gone through even though I have an order number. So now I have to go back to the store to verify it went through since care can't see an order that was done by a store for whatever reason. Starting to get a little irritated with this whole pre order thing.

 

Edit: Go figure right after I write this my phone goes off saying sprint took out money for my phone payment. I hope this is good news.

That's awesome. Can you lock in on a price and then just take your phone in on Friday and give it to the Sprint reps? or should I just wait until Friday and do it all at the store. I'm hoping not to have to mail it in.

They should honor the pricing in store. If you find a better quote from a competitor, bring it in. They will match it.

 

I have to admit. If marcelo had not popped in and made these abrupt changes, I probably wouldn't be getting the iPhone 6 on Friday.

Finally was able to order the 6 Plus. Sprint it taking back my Galaxy S5 that I bought on Aug 25. I have to ship the Galaxy back and use my old Evo 3D or Blackberry Curve...hope this iPhone 6 Plus gets shipped soon!

 

But I can't complain since Sprint is allowing me to return after the 14 days. The camera on the Galaxy S5 sucks indoors and for kids (compared to the iPhone 5s), so I'm excited about the optical image stabilizer.

 

Those telesales folks are pushy...she added the Tab 3 and a case "to help you out" without me saying yes...lol

I don't want it, thank you. You want this tablet. No, no I don't, thank you though. But, you do want this tablet. No, I really really don't want or care about this tablet... But it's free.. Here I'll add it to your account and if you don't like it you can return it in 14 days. How's that. No, I would prefer not to have the tablet... Just the phone please.

 

 

Disconnected.

If it helps, I've ordered 3 devices from Sprint and have never received a tracking email. When I ordered 5s's for me and my fiance last September, I had to actually call to get the order number to track on their website. After checking randomly every day, a UPS tracking number just showed up one day, and the package was already out for delivery. Their ordering process seems jacked up to me.

If I may inquire, how? I'd love to send my wife's s5 back - about 40 days in.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No soecific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.
