Mike, will you be utilizing new pre-Alpha/Beta 100 user testing channel announced yesterday? https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/03/20/google-play-lets-developers-set-internal-test-channel-100-trusted-users-paid-apps-free/

I tweeted to Marcelo and support reached out to me, asking about my experience. I told what happened and I had an appointment scheduled for Wednesday. The lady asked if she could call me. She called about an hour later and said that the stores are rarely carrying SIM cards any longer?!?!?! (seems like a CS just making it up as they go along) and insisted I do the order from telesales. She comp'd my account the $10 for the shipping charge, then transferred me to telesales. It was a very weird experience, I had no issue goin to the Sprint store on Wednesday, but it'll save my lunch break, so I'll take it. Can't wait to get my phone, got shipping notification from Google, the current eta is Saturday, but it hasn't been picked up yet, so maybe Friday?

I totally forgot about that thread, thanks!!! Ugh, reached out to oline chat support and they will gladly send me a free SIM for $10. What gives? SIMs have always shipped for free in the past, maybe its just bee awhile for me? Have an appt my my local Sprint store for Wednesday to get a "Free" SIM...

I had the opposite experience, I had to send my Airave back to get a Magic Box

Just placed an order for a Pixel 2 XL from the Google Store. They are offering $200 off when you use thier 0% financing and a free 2nd charger. My Nexus 6P had to have a warranty battery replacement a few months back and is already exhibiting battery issues again (shutting off at 5%-10%). They offered me another $150 off for my 6P, so I figured why not. Very excited to get this in the next few days, but I'll need to get an update SIM. Is LTEGSM 4FF REM ISIM V2 correct?

I was so geeked for the S2 (Epic 4G Touch was the Sprint name) and that phone turned out to be such junk. Terrible radio, then the hard bricking. Loved the S4T & Note 2.

I had to disable B26 on my Nexus 6P due to this exact issue. My phone would camp on this or B41 (which was terribly over subscribed) in downtown Lansing, with zero thruput. randomly I'd cycle thru B25 and get great service. Ended up disabling both B26 & B41 for awhile. I would think the priority would be B41->B25->B26, but who knows

I took mine to Lake Charlevoix last Labor Day. It latched on to B25 as a source and provided great coverage for the cottage we were using.

I see B4 in Lansing and West Michigan all the time, its just waiting for an update to B25, then shuffling back to B41

If this could only be a non-TouchWiz device

Activated my old hotspot and very surprised to see it latching on to my magic box

Tossed $50 at ya, gotta keep the site alive

So much competition, ha. My only options are capped plans from mobile providers or satellite. No wired, no wisp, no competition, no options. I live two miles out of town, in a neighborhood, but we can't get the only cable provider to run service down here.

Take a look at Portugal.... http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-portugal-internet-20171127-story.html

Nexus 6P - not continuous SRLTE

Do you want to be nickle and dimed for every service you want to use? Example... Comcast/Xfinity is your ISP, you pay say $70/month, so all the NBC Universal Streaming services are untiered, they want you to use their services, view their commercials, etc But wait, you want ESPN GO, Fox Sports Go, NBA League Pass, MLS Live, etc then in addition to paying the provider for those services, you need yo pay Comcast an extra $5/month Hold on, you love you social media platforms, well Twitter, Instagram, facebook, reddit, etc are going to cost you $5/month Oh you like video streaming? Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go, Paramount, etc kick Comcast about $15/month, on top of paying for the services. You might still be able to use all these services for your $70/month, but the data rates will be heavily capped or rate shaped to extort more money from you. Couple years down the road, new ISP pops up and you switch because its the same $70 for faster speeds. Uh oh, its not Xfinity any longer, so all those NBC Universal streaming services that have been given network priority at no cost to you, stump up $25/month to the new ISP. As noted earlier, just because this hasn't happened, doesn't mean it won't. Corporations a greedy and will squeeze every penny they can out of every side of a business deal to drive up stock prices. There isn't any competition in the Wired Internet market because the infrastructure is so freaking expensive and so hard to deploy with the myraid of local government regulations.

This happened with the MXPE, to get around we pulled the SIM and connected directly to a WiFi connection, then updates were available.

Under contract, My mom needed a new phone, so I used a subsidy upgrade a bit over a year ago to get her a 128gb Galaxy S6 for free. It's got 9 months left, so it'd would cost me $180. THis would be a great deal if it worked out. I don't want to go thru all that, but props for the ingenuity...

Nope, I think because my account still has the subsidy flag. I got the option to add a line for 29.99/month, Plus the $5/month lease, plus $25.00 up front.

I can't get the discount being on ED1500, i think its because one of my lines is still utilizes a subsidized discount from a year ago. For me would it be $25 + $90 ($5/month 18 months) +$145 lease payoff?

The updates over the weekend resolved the extras issue

My magic box is no longer reading as b41 MB Trying to get a screenshot attached, 0EC19B01 is the gci.

I'm on the 8.1 beta, still getting unknown for most neighbor cells

If I win the raffle, I'll take it from you, rest of the phone money will get donated back to S4GRU

Wow, if you can get a discount code from someone that paid full price, you can get one of these for $300 http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/10/28/essential-phone-goes-incredible-300-friends-family-discount/
