If I upgrade to a G3 at Best Buy will I be able to keep my ED450 plan? Can a BB employee (or anyone else) confirm? Thanks

I have everything 1500 and was able to keep my plan without a problem.

Yes. I had someone join my family plan a month ago which is basically the same as upgrading. Worked fine.

Yes, I upgraded from my Nexus 5 to the LG G3 on my Everything Data - Share 1500 plan just this morning at WorstBuy.

Thanks. I wasn't sure since it's not officially offered/advertised anymore and when I went through the process on Amazon the other day, they weren't offering it.

Maybe it's different with a family plan? On the Select a Plan screen for the individual plan, the only options i'm seeing are the My All-Inand the Unlimited My Way with either 1GB or unlimited data.

Some plans will force a plan change, but the Best Buy employee can call NSS and have it switched back to your prior plan.

Yeah, I know. Right?  It's a nice device and the size of the screen is ideal, however It just isn't as buttery smooth as my Nexus 5 w/4.4.4 on it.  I had gotten used to the pure Google experience and miss it dearly. I do like the LG G3 Keyboard with the number keys along the top row, but miss the option to have the comma key appear on the main KB screen.  I also miss the display of punctuation marks when I press the space key (With predictive word suggestions turned off.)

 

I may exercise the 14-Day return period and stick with my Nexus 5 until the LG G3 Prime (Snapdragon 805) or GPE comes out.

Oh, I am mostly teasing.  However, the Nexus 5 may be the first device in a long while with legitimate multi year longevity, even superiority.  RF, processor, and screen are all pushing beyond the point of diminishing returns.  I probably should not, for I might never use it, but I may even pick up a second Nexus 5 as a backup.

SwiftKey does numbers on the top row now too. So you can put that on the n5 in the meantime.

Oh, I know you would "hold it."  And tap it, watch it, listen with it, browse with it, play with it...

I upgraded yesterday. As long as you renew your 2 year, nothing changes. Got my G3 for 54.36 with tax. 32 GB even. I'm on a very old contract. 10+ years. You can't touch my monthly price with insurance. Unlimited everything and the 13.00 Insurance for 70 a month with tax. Yay grandfathered contracts!

I just added a line through Amazon. When I ordered it, it switched my lines from the Everything Data 1500 to the My Way plan. When I activated the phone today, I called back in to Sprint and they switched me back to the Everything Data 1500. I was told that you have 14 days to change it back. I just logged into my Sprint account and verified it is on the ED1500.

Be careful.  You could get hit with a charge from Amazon.  Often when you activate a line through a third party reseller, you agree to a secondary contract that requires you to remain on the specified plan for a certain period of time.  Otherwise, the reseller does not receive its full commission, so it hits you with a penalty fee.  Double check the fine print of any agreement that you signed.

COZ would tap that phone until the cows come home.

I asked Amazon and they said it would not be a problem to do it. They said their system just isn't set up to keep old plans.

Has anyone ever had luck upgrading to a new phone with an everything plus referral plan at Best Buy or any 3rd party retailer?

Third parties do not have access to that account type at all, but you can still upgrade through a corporate store and then call national sales support to get switched back to your plan.

+1 for SwiftKey.  And, it has the comma on the main keyboard.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Spent a lot of time in Westchester this weekend, specifically Yonkers and White Plains. I mapped three AT&T Nokia -> Ericsson conversions. I was super impressed with T-Mobile's macro density and not so much with AT&T's. In Yonkers it seems like T-Mobile macros outnumber AT&T macros 3 to 1 and in White Plains, 2 to 1. Another surprise was the lack of small cells on AT&T in both cities. While Cellmapper shows White Plains having no small cells, I did manage to find one in the Church Street neighborhood. While it's only one, it's an indication to me that T-Mobile intends on expanding n41 density with small cells in the city. On the other hand, in Yonkers T-Mobile has a ton of LTE small cells but none of them have been upgraded to 5G yet as far as I can tell. Crown Castle has been moving super fast in NYC and Long Island to upgrade and install new 5G small cells so I can only assume it's either a permitting or backhaul issue that's stopping them from moving full steam ahead there. — — — — — Came across this cool site in Yonkers with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Dish present.

      Other two sectors finally installed. Hopefully it goes live soon though I know from past experience that these new builds can take weeks and in some cases months to go live.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Which is not surprising given that Verizon’s entire 5G network consists of only C-band and mmWave in most of their coverage area. I’m more surprised that despite having a 5G network that’s almost entirely made up of only two super fast and super high capacity bands, both T-Mobile and AT&T showed higher average speeds on 5G according to OpenSignal. I would’ve expected Verizon to be a close second to T-Mobile but it was a blowout.
