[tip] best way to get AT&T to give up a micro sim without asking too many questions

[tip] best way to get AT&T to give up a micro sim without asking too many questions
yeah, sorry to dedicate a whole post to this, its not such an important thing that it needs a thread of its own, but i think its something pretty important, and itll fall back to the later pages if others dont find it important enough to comment on, so i guess no worries.
if youre coming from pretty much any other phone youll have a normal SIM card. but if youre getting an SGSIII youll need a Micro SIM. now the tricky part is getting AT&T to give it up, without asking too many questions, and trying to get you to change plans (cause nobody wants to give up their $10/month unlimited data for a $30 limited, right?).
heres what worked for me
well speaking from experience, i tossed a few ideas around in my head, till i came up with one i decided to use, and without a hitch, AT&T gave up the microsim for my phone on a Media Net data plan.
1 first off, go into a store in person, dont order over the phone. AT&T call centers have a lot more pull over what goes on than an in store salesman.
AT&T authorized retailers have the least pull of all, since theyre only licensed to sell phones, they dont work for AT&T directly, and are least likely to care about corporate affairs. how can you tell the difference between a corporate store, and an authorized retailer? well authorized retailers normally dont have real display phones, but rather plastic models. however calling the AT&T store and asking them if theyre a corporate store or not will be the best and easiest way to save you a drive.
2 what i did, was explain to them that i bought a sim to micro sim adapter, so that i can more easily travel abroad, and use foreign simcards, because in japan, microsims are the new standard, and that for now i want to use get a micro sim, so i can keep my adapter inside the phone. i brought in a flip phone, and they checked the IMEI number, and gave me a brand new Micro Sim!!
its important to note theyre allowed to charge $30 dollars for a sim replacement, but if youre nice and friendly, theyll usually give it up for free, at least the times ive gone in they have.

I guess I don't follow.... we're pre-ordered, we'll get a Micro SIM for the phone when it arrives, they're not going to let us walk out without one to use in the phone, right? Furthermore, I think you forgot a step 3, which is to activate it over the phone with Customer Care or in store once the SGSIII arrives

Or you could just have a sim cutter shipped to your door for 5 bucks and not have to go out of your way at all.

The OP's statements were in regards to the international version, not the variants like your preorder.

Man... Sim cutters online are like 3 dollars...

I just walked in and said I want a micro sim. She asked to see my phone. She said micro sim won't work in it. I said i have this adapter. She said ok, scanned new sim, and gave it to me. I popped it in and was good to go. Ready for my S3.

Where do u live? Lol I've done this 100 times. They don't charge ****. And u don't have to say all that bs u just say I NEED A MICRO SIM CARD. Lol done. No charge. U have to go to a corporate store that's it

Yeah, you really don't have to jump through any hoops to get a microSIM card. Just go in and tell them you need one.

Thank you for this information. I plan to do just that to try and get a new micro sim card for my upcoming purchase of a Samsung Note 2. AT&T thinks I am using an old flip phone right now with unlimited data and I sure don't want them ot switch me over to a new plan.
Like some poeple said it may not be necessary to have a 'story' ready but thanks for providing a good one just in case.

Moto Care (ADP)

Not sure if this was common knowledge or not.
If you choose to not purchase the Moto Care at the time of purchase of your new Moto X (2nd Gen.), You can purchase at a later date and separate from the actual phone order.
I was not sure if this was possible or not, so I chatted with Moto Rep, and he told me it was not available for the Moto X (2nd Gen.) after the phone was purchased.
I logged into Moto Support (https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/mcp/my_devices/) and went to my Stuff, and the option to purchase ADP was right there; and yes I am on Verizon & I did order through Moto Maker (32gb, Black/blue/silver/engraved).

On the previous Moto X, you were not able to purchase ADP for Verizon Moto Maker phones..
The Rep thanked me for this information and he'd pass it along to his supervisors to alert other reps that you can intact purchase it.
Does anyone else see this, or was this already known?

I thinks it's only available for the first 30 days after purchase. I to saw it was available for Verizon

I actually tried to do this by talking to 2 different reps. They both said it wasn't available for Verizon phones. Went through and ordered tonight. Thanks!

I'm on Verizon and ordered through Moto Maker but I'm not getting this option in "My Stuff." The accident protection page says "We're sorry. Extended service plans are not available for Verizon Wireless." Check the links below for screenshots (Sorry I'm a newb in this forum <10 posts).

I guess I'll try calling Moto tomorrow 'cause I'm not paying $8/mo. for Total Equipment Coverage from Verizon. NOPE!

Really considering buying this but I've never broken a phone before. On AT&T, what would it cost to get it replaced if it did break? Full price or subsidized?

I'm on Verizon and ordered through moto maker and the option for Moto care (ADP) was there for me. I purchased it.
I ordered my phone the exact night it launched though. I wonder if they've changed that option since then?

I tried this.... I got this.
We're sorry.
Extended service plans are not available for Verizon Wireless.
So it doesn't look like they are selling it anymore.

I was wondering the same thing.

VZW probably wants u to buy insurance from them.

I was bummed to see the "Extended service plans are not available for Verizon Wireless" message too. But maybe it's because I got my PIN through Verizon to use on Moto Maker and didn't order from Motorola directly?

Are the ones who aren't getting the option for Moto care ADP paying full price? Or are you buying it subsidized?

Subsidized.

I acted like I was buying another Moto x at full price and the option for Moto care didn't show up for Verizon. I did the same for AT&T and it shows up. So it does look like VZW put the kibosh on it

It either means that Motorola has to honor it or refund my $85.

So I've had the phone for three weeks now and got a "CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR MOTO X!" email from them earlier this afternoon. Halfway down was a link to learn more about Moto Care Accident Protection and gave it a shot. I logged into my account and, to my surprise, it let me buy it for $85. It didn't give me this option two weeks ago when I posted about it in this thread. Recap: I'm on Verizon, designed on Moto Maker, and bought it at 2-year contract price. I'm putting a copy of the receipt in my safe 'cause if and when this baby sh!ts the bed, Moto best be caring for her!

I was able to buy the plan once I registered my vzw the other day.

Here's what I learned when I was trying to buy it for my Verizon phone (It IS possible, as long as it is within 30 days from your purchase date). There are 2 ways to purchase it, 1 of them doesn't work, and 1 of them does.
Method 1 (Doesn't work for Verizon):
Go through the options where you choose your phone, carrier, and how long since purchase from the drop down menus (as seen Here)
Method 2 (DOES work):
Register your phone on Motorola.com which will add your phone to My Stuff. On the main Motorola page click "Get Help". Then click Log In, and log in using your account. Next, click the My Stuff button at the top right. It will list your phone and the details and if it is within 30 days of your purchase date, then it will give you an option to "Purchase ADP". (As seen in OP).

Yeah I used method 2

Yesterday they emailed me my Certificate of Coverage so looks like I'm golden! :good:

Once you actually have your Verizon Moto X (2014) in hand, you can sign in to the motorola website and, if it isn't already there, you can add the device to your stuff. Then the option to add the coverage appears. I just purchased it for both myself and my wife (you have to do them individually by signing in as each user) and dropped our overpriced horrible insurance through Verizon at $8/month each.

Not to sound like an idiot but searching for a simple answer as I already assume by the writing - fine print that I don't qualify.
- Already been a Netflix Subscriber for several years and currently paying per month on their service.
- Bought my Verizon Galaxy Note 4 back in October/2014 upon release date already.
I assume the later disqualifies me. Just looking for confirmation that I am reading this correctly

You are correct, you would need to purchase the device between January 4 and 17 to be eligible.

Whats sad about this.. If people wanted to be a real ass and stoop to low levels. Like most deals they go back during return times so people who just purchased are not short changed, well what happens is they could go back and do return and new purchase. This is why most deals like this go back past weeks to avoid store return periods. It would be dumb for people to do but yet some people would do it for spite to get a neyflix deal.

It seems prizelogic is running this promotion.
Good luck!

Where there is a will, there is a way.
Enjoying my free year of Netflix now. They sent me the approved email this morning and the code for Netflix. I assume the, "+MilkMusic" is just the regular free one as there was no mention of it in the approval email.

What about Dev Edition?
Has anyone tried to register with the Dev Edition? When you register it asks for IMEI and Wireless MAC. I bought a couple of them and neither IMEIs are working. Comes back as invalid IMEI.

So how did you get them to approve you

Got a VZW Note4 on 1/4/15 and submitted it that night. On the 9th, I got an email saying they received my submission. Have not received the activation code yet though. The fine details at registration said it may take up to 3 weeks.

Finally got the Dev edition to register. It still said invalid. After getting this email response, I did as stated and it went through.
Thank you for your interest in the Netflix Gift With Purchase. If you are receiving an Invalid IMEI/ Serial Number message, please return to the site and enter your information again. If the error pops up and you believe your claim is valid, please close the error message, make sure your receipt is still in the uploaded field, and hit submit again.

Verizon Note Edge Developer Edition Coming Soon

The note edge just dropped one verizon i know and i have already went in and played with a live demo. Phone isnt bad but isnt spectacular over my note 4. My question is now with the developer edition edge can the developers take advantage of root/recovery to really make the panel come to life??
here is link showing it is coming soon. also depends on price for me if it is cheaper then $799 i may pick one up
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-N915VMKEVZW

Might have to cancel my order at work for the regular note edge.
Or just buy it and sell if development takes off....
Argh decisions.
I think I'll buy one then just return it if Dev edition shows up quick enough.

No. The Dev Edition is meant for Developers and as such comes unlocked.
But having it wont provide clues as to how to gain root/bootloader access on a retail version.
Basically, if you want root/bootloader access, then you can either wait for the community to figure out how to crack it, else you can buy this version which is already unlocked.

Samsung's website only

me too!
I have also been checking the link, 3 times daily. I bought the retail version of the note edge and fell absolutely in love with the phone, but at the same time i could never own a phone that i cannot root. almost took the galaxy S4 back before i stumbled upon safestrap and hyperdrive. unfortunately i learned the hard way what taking OTA updates can do to your device, so i can no longer go back to the S4 when you could use CWM. I don't understand what Verizon's deal is, all the other note edges (except Verizon and AT&T) have already got root using CF auto root in Odin, but Verizon must think we are going to steal a trade secret or something and locks the bootloaders.... silly Verizon. i swear if another carrier would pop up in my area offering the same 4g speeds and an unlimited data package i'd switch in a heartbeat.
oops, sorry i rambled... subscribed to this thread, and checking the site thrice daily (more often on the days i don't work ^_^)

It's never coming out ?

I've seen those they aren't the developer edition though. Those are non carrier specific models you can use with any carrier by swapping the Sim card. The developer edition is just the normal Verizon phone but with unlocked bootloaders so you could flash cwm or twrp without bricking the device

Yes i know. Verizon was listed at $799. Now the price is gone. Hopefully it doesn't get marked up and sold for a $1000 +.

I'm not sure if it's this simple, but has anyone tried changing the CSC? I would love to having working Samsung Pay in the states. It's the only thing holding me back up from getting one now.
Seems like there are methods for the S7 and S8 that allows you to select the CSC from a menu or automatically set the CSC to the country your SIM is from.

As mentioned in my message reply, the Samsung pay app on my N935S asks for a South Korean simcard and won't work with my T-Mobile sim.

I wonder if a friendly South Korean member could buy low value pre paid SIM cards and offer them to members in the UK and USA and we can use these to adjust some settings to allow use of a local SIM to work with Samsung Pay?

Just did some research. Its very difficult to buy pre paid SIMs in Korea. But fingers crossed someone may a solution.

It wouldn't matter even if you could get a Korean SIM. Korean phones will not accept US bank cards. I did some research on here and there are others with Korean Samsung devices that couldn't get Samsung Pay to work. I'm bummed because I just received my FE about 10 minutes ago and will be sending it back because of that...unless I can use my Gear S3 instead.

If you have a gear s3, you should be able to use samsung pay. I have a Note FE (N935S) and a gear s2 and though samsung pay doesnt work with the Note, I have no problem using samsung pay on my gear s2. Should work with s3 as well.

Has anyone tried factory resetting their phone while having their SIM card inserted? I've some people saying on other Samsung phones that factory resetting with your SIM inserted will change the CSC to the country the SIM is from. This might only be for specific models of a phone series. Once the CSC is changed, I think you can install the Samsung Pay from the country you're from and be fine.

Has anyone tried factory resetting their phone while having their SIM card inserted? I've some people saying on other Samsung phones that factory resetting with your SIM inserted will change the CSC to the country the SIM is from. This might only be for specific models of a phone series. Once the CSC is changed, I think you can install the Samsung Pay from the country you're from and be fine.

i also tried this approach, it didn't work. tried setting up android pay and it thinks my device is rooted; disappointed, but not a deal breaker.

Android Pay works fine in the UK on my KT branded FE.

Hello.
Could you upload screen capture that has error message?
I can communicate in Korean.
So I will contact Samsung customer service center in Korean with that capture.

still no luck, i even flashed the N935S OEM ROM to my N935K and Android Pay isn't working. next step (if i decide to follow that path) is a full reset.

Where'd you get a flashable ROM & did it trip your Knox counter?
