  1. I just made the switch from the original EVO 4g to the Galaxy S3. I have to say I'm extremely impressed. Having had the Hero also, I was very accustomed to the Sense way of life. Touch Wiz has its quirks but overall, I'm enjoying my experience. There are still little things that bug me like the inability to hold the Volume Up/Down key with the screen off to move the next/previous song or that the stock player doesn't have a lock screen widget. These issues however can be resolved obviously via other players and/or rooting. In terms of reception, I have noticed that my 3g drops out while in my office fairly regularly if I'm messing on the phone. I didn't seem to have this problem with the EVO. I was tempted to switch carriers but I have hope that 4G LTE will be fully rolled out in the LA area soon. I'm in the San Fernando Valley and have already experienced it in the Studio City / Burbank area just off the 134.
  2. Just wanted to give a brief update with my experience with Walmart Wireless. Overall, it went quite well. I ended up calling their 'order by phone' number instead of doing it online. I have a family account and wanted to make sure this upgrade didn't affect my second line. Once I placed my order, I was able to track the status online. My SG3 was shipped and delivered on time. Once I received it, I used the same online status tracking to activate the new device. I actually encountered an issue and had to contact Walmart Wireless - I used their online chat feature. Within about 10 minutes, they had my device activated. I checked my account online via Sprint.com and confirmed that my second line was not affected, my bill was the same and my new phone was activated. All-in-all, my experience was great - $80 off retail, no tax, free shipping.
  3. Thanks for the feedback. I was definitely leery of the 180 day condition. I don't have any plans to move the phone anywhere but just don't like having that extra layer of "control" placed on my purchase. For $80 less than anywhere else, no tax and free shipping, it was a hard price to beat.
  4. Hello all - new to the forums and wanted to see if anyone else has had experience purchasing from Walmart Wireless online? I just ordered a Sprint Galaxy S3 - it was the cheapest I could find anywhere as of now. I'm currently on a family plan with my primary line contract expiring in Apr 2013 and my secondary line already fulfilling it's 2 year commitment. I'm upgrading from an EVO 4g. I ended up calling them to ensure that upgrading my line wouldn't affect the 2nd line. Also, some of the fine print regarding not moving the phone to a different line for 181 days kind of put me off. In the end, the rep was very helpful so far as to conference call in Sprint so we could get them to drop the $36 upgrade fee. I wasn't going to go through with my order unless that fee was waived. Has anyone else had any experience ordering a new / upgrade phone form Walmart Wireless? My phone is enroute and I have 14 days to return it if something doesn't seem right. Thanks
