Women!!

So just got home and found out the wife dropped her phone and broke the gorilla glass. It was in a Seido Active X case.
She took it to a repair center and they said no insurance, buy a new phone.
Haven't several people on here gotten this issue fixed for like $35? Contract not up for like a year, so full price not an option.

I didn't, and it cost me $35 for a replacement.

Should be free with TEP $35 w/o ...
but i believe recently sprint has changed their view on this and no longer replacing screens so cheap

Yeah the $35 is not for accidental damage. That is exactly what the insurance is for....sorry. You can find one on Ebay for about $125.

Actually, if the crack is more than an inch they dont have to touch it. I just replaced my glass and i have TEP. Charged me the $100 deductible because it was more than an inch. Trust me i went round and round trying to get it done for free.

Thanks guys. I knew somebody had gotten theirs done w/o TEP.
Wife just called her cousin's husband who works for Sprint and he said they've cracked down on replacing Epic hardware. He is gonna check to see what he can do tomorrow so I'm crossing my fingers.
If nothing else, it's back to the Rumor 2 for her!!

It's not like she made use of it, what with it being bone stock and all.
I thought about adding a line and getting myself a new phone, but the development for the other phones is awful!!

I would check out indy cellular repair... h t t p : / / indycrc . c o m /
they can give you an idea on cost vs buying a new or used phone. You can mail it to them or if you are in indy you can drop it off.

Yeah I keep saying I need insurance, but between the 2 of us, we've had 9 phones over the last 10 years and this is the first one that has ever been broken (other than warranty issues).

100$ for smart phone only 50$ for non smart phone

tell her to live with it and think about her poor defenseless phone every time she makes a phone call.. Or worse case, buy her a flip phone..
or you could try buying a bad ESN phone off ebay and see about switching the glass.. Maybe you could find a tutorial somewhere.. Either way.. good luck

Samsung does repairs too. Might call them and see how much.

Sprint Epic4g repair/replace

You guys know how much Sprint replacing our Epic4Gs for w/ insurance these days? $100?
Also, you think they'd let me switch phones instead? I'm trying to wait out thus galaxy S3 but my severely cracked screen is bothering me.

Yep replacement will be 100
And its a maybe depending on your rep... but most likely no.

OP has a cracked screen - that and water damage takes deductible to $100 with asurion. If the phone (ie a replacement) is still under its 1 year warranty, and doesn't have one of the above 2 issues then Asurion will swap it for free.

My space bar is split down the middle (still works just annoying), my battery won't hold a charge, every now and then while charging several battery widgets showed the batter charged but loosing power, one of those 3 triangle things (where the battery is, the part that touches the gold squares on the batter) is bent.
Will I have to pay $100 or can I get a new epic free? I had this phone since February 2011 (or 2010 I forget but it was the february after the phone came out)
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Take a pick and press in on one of the ext antenna port. This will kill you signal and they will say hardware and replace it for $35. If you have water or broken screen, no luckat all. Simple.

They wouldn't replace mine when I lost it. Signed up for Sprint insurance and now it's only $100.

Its a waste of a $100. Hopefully the Nexus comes out at a good price.

Almost the same money in all ways. If you didnt brake the screen and just the glass, youll prob break it trying to replace it. Also it wont feed the same after you get it that far apart. I would say Ebay and switch the board out. Insurance if you got it. Like I said tho, about the same money. Global Direct is the best place for parts. A few bucks higher than ebay but 100% genuine and will have the adhesive made for it. PM me if you need a price, they hide them.

Anyone else gettin crazy offers for there phone?

Ok i havent even had the phone a whole day and have already been asked to sell. I had one guy in books a million offer 700 but what tripped me out was a dude and dave and busters saw me on it and knew what phone it was right away.....asked if it was for sprint then pulled out some cash out his pocket and was like ill give you 800 for that phone right now we can walk down to sprint and get it activated lol.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA

For 800$ you could make a profit...even if you bought another one right out, off contract. But I've had some offers...a sprint rep offered my 600$ for it, cuz I walked in to get my number changed, and like that guy, they all KNEW, and they hadn't even seen one.

You paid 600$ for the device. The how in the hell is it not worth it to sell at 800? When you wanted to return it anyway.. Sounds like you are just holding onto it for your amusement from the offers

Friday while I was looking for a case I had a Bestbuy employee snatch it out my hands and go crazy for it. Also had a guy at a cell hone store go crazy for it too. Gotta love the fact that only select people have this phone.

My local store is asking $330 for the S III!!!

Not only is the $280 you need to pay to purchase this phone online outrageous when compared to the other carriers, but my local store is asking for $50 more!!! Are they insane? What happened with T-Mobile and the S III? People don't want it that bad, guys!
Sorry for the rant.

tax, fees, etc.

T mobile cannot afford to subsidize these phones at the same rate as the larger carriers so you have to pay more on contract.

That's what I paid for it on the day one. It was $330 plus tax and upgrade fee's. A total of $389

$280 is already insane. Don't let your stores charge $50 more on top of that or you'll be shooting yourself in the foot with one of the most anticipated devices of the year. My 2c.

Yes, Walmart sells T-mobile phones for new and existing customers. They have computers at their wireless center for each carrier. It allows them to perform upgrades just like you were at a T-mobile store.

I paid the 299 to Att since my voice plan did not qualify for the $100 instant rebate, didn't like that but I sold my iPhone 4 for 270 so it wasn't that bad of an upgrade for me

Hey at least your not buying it off contract. I bought it off contract from my local tmobile store for $680!! I'm still in shock recovering from that impulse buy, looking back I could gotten a way batter deal on Craig list. But this awesome phone is slowly helping me forget about my hard earned cash.

Hearing you paid only 214 for the phone kinda piss me off, but at the sometime I still got the phone on day one. If wal mart in Illinois had it I would had been all on it for those prices. Make me wonder why T mobile can't come up those prices themselves

How is this a thread? Yes as it was discussed for the last few weeks; T-Mo is selling the GS3 for $330. You can buy it from Costco and Walmart for much less.
Carry on.

I paid $279.99 through T-Mobile after a $50 mail in rebate. My activation fee/upgrade fee was waived. T-Mobile does charge more for phones but you save money on the plans. Right now I have unlimited Talk/Text/2GB Data a month for $69.99.
I got my phone on the 21st and T-Mobile was the ONLY one in my area to get it from. Walmart/Costco/etc had nothing.

Im going to be paying 450 or 549 for the phone
