I'm going to buy the AT&T S4. I was wondering if I can get it unlocked since I'm playing the no contract price.
Or if there is any way to unlock since I plan to use it on tmobile in a few months.
They'll probably have you fill out a form after 90 days.

Not true you can call them and get the unlock code. Ive done so from overseas with the s3 since I paid out right or you can purchase an unlock code.
This was done within 90 days of purchase for sure.

When I bought the S3 off contract I just went into the AT&T chat and they gave me the code a day after I bought it.

If it is the 16gb make sure it is not thru Tmobile. People are purchasing thru TMO for $199 or even that last deal they had where it was for $50 or free I think. After they sell it then they wait a week or 2 and report it lost, stolen and TMO will block the IMEI.

Let's say that after a month or 2 you don't want the device and want to sell it, you will have a better chance of selling it to able to use on att, tmo, simple etc.

Assuming the seller doesn't have insurance on the phone:
What would this seller gain by reporting it stolen? He's still gonna have to pay the early termination fee.

I think it's easier to assume the seller does have insurance, especially on a two day old phone with plans of doing a scheme.
it's also easy to assume the seller may prefer the phone he was using before the n4, change the SIM, no etf

That's assuming he/she pays the etf. Some won't and could care less about their credit. Seller could be selling an already stolen phone and banking on getting rid of it before iemi is blacklisted.
I've also heard people use fake info to sign up for a 2 year contract get phone then just stop paying

Short story short my Dad is due for an upgrade he said he'd buy me the GS4, is there anyway that he could buy the phone on his contract but give it to me? I want the GS4 so bad but won't be able to because my plan is not over anytime soon. Thanks guys.
Yes if you are both on sprint he can get the phone and get it activated and then call sprint and swap lines I do it all the time withvour three lines. Just remember you both must have sprint accounts, then call and tell them that you want to swap with another sprint customer.

I did the purchase through my dad that has a different account, so when they got the phone, I just activated the S4 on my account. The only thing that sucks is that he used his upgrade, but he didn't care because he likes his "flip" phone.

Yes as long as you both have sprint different accounts don't matter, but you dad would lose his upgrade and would have to wait 2 more years or you can trade back with him when its time for your upgrade. ...its works out pretty good for both ofvyou.

I preordered mine on Sunday via Telesales. I am on the SERO-P plan and the website looked like it wanted to change my plan and my local store claims they cannot help me with a SERO plan. The whole process took way too long with all the upsell options they tried to push. I look forward to getting the phone though.
Trying to fight the urge to pre order but waiting on @rompnit to see what phone he is gonna go to next. I needs my MOAR!

Most american carriers have the pay by month rates for the S5 with $0 down for the pre-order and about $27 for 24 months. Best buy doesn't offer that.
I ordered mine for $249 but it comes with a $50 rebate.

Ya know, I don't have a clear understanding of it either, but I see don't need that type of security on my devices. But yes, you will void the warranty with Samsung, but the TEP with sprint would stay intact. I tripped it a long time ago on my S4,but there all people who choose to keep there device As is. I can't blame them I guess. But it's definitely not gonna persuade me to not get the S5. I'm already way ahead getting my work in place. Unfortunately the sprint firmware will be different than he international version. Not by much tho. So yes, I'm taking everything from the S4 over to the S5[emoji12][emoji106]

You do realize that this is only if you are not using an upgrade. The final price with this deal is around $650.00.
