What is the minimum number of months that you have to be a subscriber before you can terminate the account and not get charged the retail price for the device? And how much is the termination fee?

I'm pretty sure if you wanna leave without paying, you're gonna have to wait out the 24 months. Google is your bff if you want prices on leaving early.

LOL. Explain plz. :crying:

anyone know if the OTHER sizes will also be on sale? right now 32gb is $50 more so will I be able to get the 32gb for $100 on BF ?

No word yet. It is a good possibility though. But if not, just buy a 64gb SD card for $50

So are we only going to see 16GB models announced for the US today?
Disappointing the multitask sidebar isn't there for you but hopefully it will come to an update asap..
Congrats BTW-grey keeps looking better the more I see it

Grey does look very nice.
I also have no family or known good friendsthat work for tmobile, just sorta lucky I guess. All it took was a little searching.

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

unlock ?

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.

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!

Well I don't plan on terminating my contract anytime soon so etf is of no concern. And as far as proving the no tax well you can choose to believe me or not i really don't care fact is i have purchased my gs3 gs4 and now my Note 3 all without tax! 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 have to pay tax if I order from amazon! Usually how it works is if there's no stores/warehouses in your state you don't pay tax. But I would imagine there are walmarts in California.
