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

They're the same company... But then you have to wait. You can just walk in and buy it right there
Yes i know they are the same company but if you walk into the store you will have to pay taxes, and if you live in California the taxes is on the full retail price which for me was $70! So like i said ordering from Walmart.com is $289 otd!

This time saving about $70 not $10. I only mentioned this to give others options to save a little cash not Start a pissing match!

That's tax evasion if you did. That's against the law. Walmart and Sams are registered in all 50 states with the taxation office. You would have had to have had a tax exempt card to do that.

Walmart cannot sell to you tax exempt online because it simply doesn't work that way. If they did, they made a mistake and will have to pay the price in the end. They are not an online only retailer like amazon so they don't get that benifit.

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.

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.
