ATT Pure gone?

Is the ATT Pure gone? I am looking to add a line to my plan, and cannot find them anywhere. ATT has them on the website, but only refurbs and only for new customers (free). Amazon has them online for new accounts and upgrades, but they don't do add a line transactions.
Am I missing something? Is there a replacement for this phone coming out? My wife likes the Tilt 2 that I just got, but thought the physical keyboard was not needed... that led me naturally to the Pure.

im existing and it shows up for me .

I spoke with AT&T this morning. The refurbs are only available to new customers due to limited supply. They also said that I could order it as a new customer and transfer it over to my existing family plan without any problem or cost.
The said that the phone is still listed as a available phone, but they have no stock and do not know if/when they will be getting them in. O'well. I guess it will be a refurb for me.

Read this thread from FEBRUARY: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=637163

I did order the phone. I was planning on doing the $100 HTC trade up rebate, but it is not good on refurb phone purchases. But since there was no actual cost to the phone no big deal. I get to keep the tilt as a spare. On my TP2 purchase last week, I am sending in a Treo that was collecting dust and getting my $100 rebate.
I don't care if the phone is old (which it is not really) or not selling well. It does what I want it to do. It has no real replacement, and definitely the right cost. I upgraded 2 smart phones and the total cost will be -$50. Not a bad deal at all.
2 Tilt 2's would have been o.k. but the wife did not want/need the physical keyboard. Plus I could see a day when we would grab the wrong phones on the way to work and then be screwed.

LetsTalk.com has them along with Wirefly.com. Both available under the add a line program. Cost depends on your timing, they run them NIB for free MOST of the time, but have seen them listed for about $50 US.

I did not see them there. The only HTC that came up for AT&T was the tilt 2. I do believe they are gone, (or going away quickly). Not to be selfish but, I got mine.... or at least it is coming.... since it is coming Us Postal Service, I have a great hope for it to show up on saturday.
I can see the problem. my wife on Wed said that she would prefer the one without the keyboard. Then after she found out that it might not be available, she was o.k. with going tilt 2 as an option instead. I can see that conversation occurring throughout the country. In this case however the tilt 2 (new) was $199 vs the Pure (refurb) at $0. I am pretty sure I made the right choice.

Wow.. I knew ATT was pulling them out of their stores but it seems EVERYONE is now. I've seen ATT pull phones before and places like Wirefly have them still 6 months later. I just checked on them 2 days or so ago when MY wife was eyeballing MY Pure..

As of thursday morning AMAZON was the only one who had them. They wanted 0.01 for a new line and $80 for an upgrade.
Amazon does not do the add a line, and phones purchased though them cannot be combined with an existing family account (like you can with att's own phones) without a $250 penalty within the first 6 months. ATT tracks by device ID, as long as the device is activated, they don't care how. Amazon get their comission based on account number. If you do the new account option, then try to combine the accounts, you will lose the new account number and be fined.
If you did upgrade by the end of May, you could do the HTC trade up rebate if you have an old device to send in and get $100 back. Then the phone would be -$20...even free shipping.
They did say that stock levels were low for the pure.

Ebay had some friday.. got busy and didn't get a chance to come here and post on it. Some of those dealers offer add a line. It's gonna suck if I ever have to do a phone swap though and no one has new ones. I love my Pure the way it is now. The stock ROM bites but the Energy is rockin'. A friend had a refurbed phone from ATT and whenever it got hot here his screen would fog up from internal moisture.

I have had some good luck with refurbs, but of course there are some horror stories. In this case I am sure that the cost saving will be worth it. The way I am upgrading and shuffling phones around, it will leave me with 1 line with an upgrade option on it. This will give me a chance to be able to replace any phone that breaks out of warranty in the coming months. Keeps the insurance cost down to zero.
First thing you do with any phone you get, new or refurb is check the white patch under the battery to make sure it is NOT pink in any way. That is the indication that the phone has been wet.

I love my Pure. Actually since me buying mine, my good friend and also my father have made the jump too. Its a pretty good touchscreen phone that is feels just the right size. I hope you all are successful in your attempts to get your hands on one. We knew they were going to get pulled months ago because of the low sales (wtf). I guess most people prefer the TP2 (meh).

I just got it and after a long 40 minutes on the phone with at&t the did all the juggling on my account and got it working. (even got them to waive the activation fee).
So far so good. I am charging it now, so that I can flash it to the (same) energy rom that I have on my tilt 2.

The battery in the Pure was draining the website so they stopped selling it :|

Tmobile Upgrade

I upgraded both lines within my family plan in February. Got the black GS2 for me, the white for my wife. Long story short, they had to send three phones because they got the color wrong.
I sent the wrong phone back (was charged full value) and worked with customer service to have this removed and my account credited. At some point, something got changed on my account as I now show that I am full upgrade eligible according to the TMO website.
Would definitely like to get one of the new beasts on the horizon, especially if I have an upgrade now instead of 2013.
My question is, if I use this "upgrade" do you think they will catch the mistake and charge me full value for the new phone at a later date?

I don't think they will catch you. T-Mobile has a bunch of stuff going on and have so many customers that that person you talked to doesn't even care anymore.

Doubt they catch you and you can always argue that you had were in fact eligible for an upgrade

i dont think they will catch you. they screwed up on my account also. i changed my number and after i did that it said i was able to upgrade with a full 2 year discount and i knew mine wasnt due till 2013 (with my old number) so i went and bought my black gs2 at newegg and it said carrier approved and they sent me my phone lol.. only paid 219 out the door. lol

Yeah, got my GS2 at a kick-ass price. Paid just $137 from the retention department and they gave me a buy one get one free deal. Hard to beat 2 phones for $137.
Sweet. Got my eye on either the GS3 or HTC One-S. I will just keep my GS2 for modding and deving.
Hopefully the next Nexus will come back to T-Mo. If it does, I may just hold out for it.

nice, so im assuming it was like $120 or something then plus tax?
sounds about right, i read up on others getting credit back too lol.
But yeah, just remember that everything they do to your account is noted somewhere in your account. However it is highly doubtful that they actually look WHEN your last upgrade was and such. It is more likely that they just click upgrade or whatever and see if you're eligible. Because... why the hell are they gonna make a system where they make the reps backtrack the date and calculate when you're eligible? lol

Nexus 6 and Black Friday

I've been very tempted to get hands on with the Nexus 6, been following the news almost every day going online. Now its been released, still couldnt really get it online until when I went on motorola and almost checked out.
But now I think of it...Black Friday is getting really close. I have a feeling that Google will lower the price of Nexus 6 or have some sort of a promotion to hit the mass market. Plus, Best Buy will probably offer some sort of a gift card incentive. http://quikdocs.com/news/google-nexus-6-black-friday-deal-how-low-it-could-go/1006780/
When you are in demand and in rush of buying something you will always lose $, I think I will wait a few weeks until Black Friday to get my Nexus 6. (Even though I am using my friend's broken screen iPhone lol)

I can't think of a single reason why there would be any type of discount for this device on Black Friday. People are being quoted DELIVERY after Black Friday. The phone is in serious demand.
That would be the dumbest economic move ever. I think it would actually drive down their stock, due to people losing confidence in their ability to run a business.
A provider may offer some incentive for signing up for service, that you could combine with the purchase, but since the phone has been so hard to source from both Google and Motorola, I don't see any evidence that it'll be easy to obtain by Black Friday. Again, people are seeing DELIVERY dates of 12/2 for phones they are able to order now. Even 11/26 delivery on some means we won't be seeing availability by then.

Black Friday has become a joke. I don't even consider bothering looking because of how little stock there is and the fine print used to weasel out of pathetic discounts.
That said I strongly doubt a 3 week old device will get any BF love.

Nexus 5 was not discounted on Black Friday and don't think this device will either.

Lol people will be lucky to just get the device before black Friday... Forget about any deals. May be thru carrier you may get something if you sign a contract. Bit that probably applies to all the phones they sell and may not be particular to nexus 6.

Don't forget that Google shan't care if they sell 0 or a million of these as their exec stated in a interview so I don't Google week offer a deal. Carriers could offer deals but certainly not Google themselves.

When you say you have the feeling do you mean you find this device too expensive for you and you try to come up with some b.s story to get your hopes up?

The major BF ads are already out there (http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com). No Nexus devices at all to speak of.

What a waste of a thread, full of speculation with no substance.. Just some guy hoping for a deal.

He can buy mine on black Friday for 699+ tax so I can get a 64 GB?

Verizon just told me to keep my note 7

He said they just got more info from Samsung again saying the recall is just voluntary. He said Samsung is investigating whether or not those were new or old devices that caught fire and after their investigation is complete they could say all the new note 7s are fine... He said my upgrade isn't going anywhere and I should hold onto it and wait for it to be complete. What do you think?

I think regardless at this point with my wife and I both having notes in our home it's not worth it to keep them. Coming from a rooted Note 3 on Sprint I am not impressed with this $800 purchase in the slightest and these issues are not helping their cause. At this point I'm just ready to give it back put it behind us and wait till the next greatest thing. My Note 3 still runs great and I really miss my root options.

I think they are just trained to say that. Samsung has to cover their asses IN CASE the new ones really do have a widespread issue.

If they knew for sure it was an issue that affected all devices I think they'd issue a mandatory recall and that agency would get involved(forgot the name).

Just received this from Verizon a few minutes ago.

I love how they conveniently leave out the $20 upgrade fee still being charged online, having to pay the taxes on the replacement up front even though we've already paid that or more for the Note 7 (which will EVENTUALLY be refunded to the account, maybe), and then being locked into another 2 year upgrade cycle even though it's more than possible that the Note 7's replacement will come out in the next 8 months and we'll then be stuck with whatever replacement we choose to get now, as a kneejerk reaction to not being able to keep the phone we (well, I, at least) absolutely love more than any smartphone I've owned since the DroidX. I'll have to buy another case for the new phone, and yet ANOTHER screen protector (5th one now since I went through 2 ****ty glass ones on the first Note before settling on a film one and then having to get another one for the replacement Note).
**** this whole situation. I love the Note 7 and hate that I'm going to end up settling on the S7E (To keep in the Samsung family for my GearVR and Fit2) and being stuck with it till well after the Note7's replacement hits the market. If the Pixel XL had removable storage I'd just jump over to that, get a refund on the GearVR, sell the Fit2 and just stew in it for the next 2 years. 32gb without removable storage, on a "flagship" with VR support? Has Google never seen the file sizes of high res 3D Movies and VR porn? Daydream is gonna flop if Pixel is its driving force in the market.
This. ****. Sucks.

Read what you want and skip over that everything for the Note 7 is halted and they're looking for alternative solution, meaning something other than note 7. It's dead, get over it.

I'm switching over to the Pixel XL also and was concerned about not having storage but they do offer a 128GB option. That's what I'm getting.

Samsung still can't reproduce the problem. They lost in the court of public opinion which matters more. No way are they going to stick me with an older s7 on a payment plan. They should offer an even better deal at least.
I no longer feel unsafe using the Note, could be incredibly dumb, but I'm not convinced by the new reports. Verizon sending me out of the store with this "dangerous" item and just cutting the cord was surreal too.

i just swapped my Note 7 for an iPhone Plus . I didn't go to a store, I called the 611 support line and ordered through a Verizon rep. They sent me the new iPhone, but didn't include anything pertaining to how I send the Note back. Are they reporting all swaps to Samsung so that Samsung will automatically send me a mailing box? I highly doubt it. So for now, I've activated the iPhone, and I'm still using the Note 7 as strictly a wifi device, so I can do everything with it other than take phone calls and send texts. I think I have the best of both worlds. BTW, the battery life on the iPhone is phenomenal, the first day when I was setting everything up, I got SOT of almost 8 hours. It's also very fast and smooth.

Welp as of Saturday at noon it will be illegal to take a note 7 on a plane. This might change some folks minds on keeping that "free" phone.

Trade your Nexus 6 for $300 off ...

Nexus 6 made a list for a trade in program on T-Mobile for OnePlus 6T. No joke.

This makes things interesting now ....

No.

Just got oneplus 6T.
$580 T-Mobile version, I payed only taxes. $300 trade off split in 24 months as a credit for your account, I am paying $11.67/month for 24 months.
The guy didn't care about Lineage running, all he did he checked if the phone is working. He also checked how much is trade in value of my Nexus - it came out to be $0.00

And how do you like it plan to trade mine in on Friday

It's pretty good, super fast, I was holding them side by side, trying to transfer everything and right away you feel those phones are not in the same category. Screen is big but size wise they are similar, because of the bezels. One plus is not as wide. Another good thing, it came with the case, so ignore your sales person trying to sell your one.
Fingerprint is pretty quick, I've read some concerns that it's not as fast as actual fingerprint sensor - I didn't feel it (so far). I turned off Pie gestures, still not used to them.
I felt sad tho when they took my Nexus 6.

I heard bootloader is locked though on T-Mobile version? Main reason not going through with the trade right now.

It is. It also has some T-Mobile apps, some of them easily removable (voice mail, ID, Tuesday), but T-Mobile official app and Unlock app (to request to take the phone to other network) are not removable. You can't even disable them. I've been told as soon I pay it off it will be unlocked. Upon the setup wizard T-Mo asks to collect some data to make "our experience" better which you should not agree to.
Also it has a stupid T-Mobile jingle as a ringtone and start up animation.

Cool! I was considering trading in my shamu for this, but I think I'll just buy mine from OnePlus and pay the full price. The less bumps in the road for modding the better. Plus I'm not ready to give up my shamu, I love this device still!

Can anyone confirm a locked bootloader with t mobile. I'm in Ohio and t mobile is receiving their inventory op6t's today. I'm going to go check out the developer menu on the demo and see if there's an oem unlock or anything. But if anyone can confirm beforehand that would be great. T mobile phones have not given me any issues with rooting or ROMs either way. It's who I have had for 12 years. Also, this is not confirmed either but customer care said they think t mobile may do a bogo with post paid accounts as well. Launching on the first. So who knows. They have never been wrong telling me this kinda stuff before.. but bye bye Shamu.

So I've been checking the OnePlus 6t forum here on XDA. The thing about the T-Mobile version is this. If you trade in your Nexus 6, they WILL take off $300. BUT the bootloader is locked, and T-Mobile will set you up on a 2 year installment plan. They won't let you unlock your bootloader until the 2 years is up, even IF you pay it off in full. If you want to unlock your bootloader before 2 years (I'm sure most do) buy from OnePlus. I don't recommend the trade in for this reason.

Well, as with most higher end devices, we usually find a way to mod, root and do whatever, even with a locked bootloader.so I'm not scared.been with t mobile 13 years

I wouldn't trade my Nexus 6 in for anything...There is nothing out there (new phones) that comes close to what this phone offers. I can run the latest OS with ease. The screen on this bad boy is still better in my opinion then anything out there. I like the shape 16.9 vs the new 18.9. ( I think that is how they are classified ). So what if were short a little bit of ram. The development community is still strong with the nexus 6. My phone is quicker now then when I got it and I've had it since it came out. I could go on but I wont. My nexus 6 is staying right where it is. In my hands now. Anyone trading it is foolish.

This..
And to add,
I got the Nexus 6 purely for the screen size, I my self have big hands, and the battery sucked on stock 7.1.1 BUT with the awesome Dev's backing the Nexus 6, I'm running latest Pie OS, buttery smooth, with Franco kernel can easily get through a full day. . Suffice it to say, I'm also keeping the Nexus 6. Comparing the latest flagships vs the Nexus 6 specs are on par, and with the notchless design I say this is a win, win.
It does have a forehead and a chin, but there are countless times I've dropped my Shamus and it survived, (with a case), my buddy has a shock proof case as well on his Samsung s8 and has cracked his screen twice. Got it replaced and is cracked again. No thank you.

I jumped ship, (still missing my n6 lol, the reason I am here) first thing thanks to OP for starting this thread that helped me decide. 2nd I got my bootloader unlocked, I made sure to check the phone, put an active sim in, hit unlock in unlock app before they processed the ordered, that unlocked the phone immediately, and next I requested unlock.bin key from 1+, waiting on it to arrive next week. I love the phone, its better in every aspect but one, wide screen on n6 that this one lacks. other than that 6T is pretty stellar. I am totally impressed by quality. i am sure in less than a month xda will have many ROMs. My n6 battery was dying to the point of 2-2.5 hrs battery per charge and charging port itself was failing, rather than spending 30-40$ that way, I just upgraded for 300, GOT 36$ CREDIT FOR 64GB VERSION so I am happy. if this trade in offer comes again, I would recommend it to anyone.

You might get T-mo to pay off your VZW contract. It has been a while, but they paid off my wife's.
