    Samsung has dropped the price of the S8 by $150 and the Active by $100 I was hoping for better TBH.

    3rd party. Super ugly store too.

    Stopped by a Sprint store. "Are you looking to open a line with us?" "No I-" "If you don't care about your phone number we can move you to a new account and you will only pay $8 a month for the Galaxy S8!" Interesting business practice.

    https://slickdeals.net/f/11313099-best-buy-samsung-galaxy-s9-s9-pre-order-100-off-up-to-350-trade-in-value-friday-3-2-18-in-store-only?src=SiteSearchV2_SearchBarV2Algo1 Looks like my cost would be $392 at Best Buy if I trade in my S7. It says carrier financed, does that mean my $10 loyalty credit would also apply? I really want an S8 Active, but they seem to be refusing to discount it. I dont know if I can pay MORE for an older model, even though I really want the better battery.

    Im perfectly happy with anything above 10Mbps lol

    Yes each company will also be offering their own incentives in regards to trading in and such, a lot to keep track of. Personally, I just want to S8 Active to drop in price.

    Galaxy S9 pricing is pretty varied by carrier: Samsung: $720 Tmobile: $720 AT&T: $790 SprintL $792 Verizon: $799 Disappointed that Sprint is charging a premium with the other two bad companies.

    So there are actually 2 ads running with slightly different text, but on Facebook theres no way to search for a specific ad to show you, I just have to wait until it pops up again. Because they are part of the same campaign, the comments actually appear on both ads, which is odd. You are correct, this one in the screenshot appears to be talking about removing the $30 activation fee. A second ad that looks identical but with different text lowers the cost of the monthly flex lease price by about $25, so the phone costs $8 a month. Personally, it was the $8 a month one that caught me eye, and after logging in I found out it wasnt for me

    So this is the ad I mentioned running on Facebook. It is making customers upset because it reads "upgrade today" which naturally is interpreted as referring to existing customers who want a new phone. When it comes to cell companies, people have been conditioned to read "upgrade" as "get a new phone for your existing line" And yet only when you log in to your account, is it clear that this offer is for new customers only. It feels like a bait and switch. Sprint doesn't have the best reputation, and this kind of thing doesn't help. I started my day with zero thoughts about Sprint. I saw the ad, and thought "great". I clicked through and became disappointed and angry. The 100+ comments all expressed the same sentiment. Spending money to make people upset is not good business.

    I noticed an ad on Facebook for the Galaxy S8 for only $8 a month. I also noticed every single comment on the ad was negative. People were furious that when they logged on to their accounts to take advantage of the deal, it wasn't there. New customers only. Sure enough, when I log on, my great deal is $25 a month after my loyalty discount. Yeah, no thanks. It baffles me that you would spend money on an ad that makes your customers upset.

    Thank you for your answers all!

    After reading through that, I still dont have an answer. He has wifi. He doesnt want calls to drop. Airave has solved that issue. Is there any benefit to switching? The biggest downside to Airave is the lack of HD voice. Does Magic Box fix that?
  13. jamesinclair
    I still dont quite understand Magic Box. My dad has an Airave. The 2 I believe. Should I look to switch it out for a magic box?

    Bad reputation: America’s Top 20 most-hated companies https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2018/02/01/bad-reputation-americas-top-20-most-hated-companies/1058718001/ Sprint at 7. I dont think thats warranted.
  15. jamesinclair
    Ive had two hardware issues. The first is that the camera lens cracked. Very odd because the phone is never in the same pocket as the keys. Also very off because hundreds of people online complained of the same issue. Second issue is that the black paint or whatever it is on my home button has peeled off in the middle. Hasnt affected use, but looks ugly.
  16. jamesinclair
    Where do you see 2018?
  17. jamesinclair
    I really hope this is true. I would like to upgrade to this from the S7. I hate the S8 form factor and lack of battery life.
  18. jamesinclair
    I didnt have your post in mind or anything, I was reading the last few pages to catch up and it caught my eye. Just playing around

    This post didnt age well I for one am thrilled the merger is off.
  20. jamesinclair
    Any news on the Active coming to Sprint?
  21. jamesinclair
    Anyone who supports the merger hasnt been on a plane in the last 5 years
  22. jamesinclair
    Looks like in a month whatever Legere wants Legere will get
  23. jamesinclair
    Used to be $199 on a 2-year actually. Now it;s $999
  24. jamesinclair
    Thats certainly one innovative way to move the goal posts. Nope, and thats why I said otherwise. Removing the subsidy was just a price hike for the consumer.
  25. jamesinclair
    I was told that decoupling phones from service by ending 2-year contracts would push the market to lower phone prices. And here we are with a "starting at $999" phone.
