I have ordered a T-Mobile upgrade thru BuyMobilePhones.net. Having never heard of the company before I was a little cautious. They do however have one of the best deals I've found for my situation:
600 mins
500 texts
500mb internet
18 months
£30 a month
19.99 for the phone
The closest mobiles.co.uk have got is £35/m and £50 for the phone. And as its an upgrade I don't have to fanny about changing my number over which is a Brucey bonus.
..........
I rang on bank holiday Monday and spoke to a bloke who basically said he cant do anything today as its a BH and he would be on the phone to T-Mobile for too long and he took my details and would call back Tuesday. 'Hmmmmm' I thought, and agreed.
I got a bit antsy in my pantsy so rang back an hour later. I spoke to another bloke who took my details and said he'd ring back in ten mins after speaking to T-Mobile, he took the telephone password for my account (the one you tell the operator when you ring up), I was a bit apprehensive but gave it too him anyway (I have changed it now). He rang back after about 20 mins and said its gone through and I should expect delivery on Wednesday. I said goodbye but was still suspicions.
I then rang T-Mobile an hour later and asked if there had been any changes to my account. They told me a dealer rang up questioning an upgrade to a Motorola Milestone but nothing had been put through. I rang back BMP.net but they had all gone home.
So I rang them today(Tuesday) and spoke to the same bloke and he said they have to put it through as a milestone to get the best deal. 'Fair play', I thought, but the big question is will I still get it tomorrow (Wednesday). He told me that he thought there would be enough stock in for my order but there may not be and I may actually get it Thursday.
I have just rang up T-Mobile (Tuesday 18:20) to ask if any upgrades had been put through on my account and they said 'No'. I will call BMP.net a call tomorrow (Wednesday) at 09:00 to chase it up again.
..........
The best number to call is 01773 522308.
Anyone else dealt with them before?
I've had a the same order as yourself, but it's been stuck on the processing stage since yesterday morning when I click on order status.
How long did yours take to process?
As mines an upgrade I don't get access to that part of the site
No worries, not sure processing should take this long. I have emailed them this morning regarding the issue but still no reply.
Give the above number a call 0900-1730
Will do, tomorrow, cheers
Let us know how you get on
I had a 'mare with Buy Mobile Phones a while back. Ordered a new phone, they dicked me about, finally sent it, when it arrived the box was open, so I sent it back and they told me they wouldn't accept it because the phone was 'used'.
I had to scream, shout and threaten them with the office of fair trade before they'd even concede that it was them that opened it (or someone previously); and even then they gave me the old 'as an act of good faith' line. They are, without doubt, the murkiest phone shop I've ever used.
I wouldn't trust them any further than I could push them with my piss.
Hi there,
I ordered with buymobilephones.net and my order was dispatched yesterday and is out with City link for delivery tomorrow - so they are definitely legit.
Many thanks
The confirmation email says delivery, sadly the tracking number isnt tracking. Will phone cancel tomorrow if no delivery.

Got the same deal as thread starter, got tracking info via email from BMF. Should be with me tomorrow.
Any problems I have had to date had been delt with swiftly!
Did anybody have a slow order processing, mines been nearly 2 days.
I also ordered the same deal as the first poster and I have a tracking number for City Link that is giving Wednesday as the delivery day with it currently underway to the delivery depot.
I ordered it 'new' despite being eligable for an upgrade with t-mobile. A new number for the specified deal appeared on my existing account ( a couple of my kids also have t-mobile contracts on my account) on Saturday along with the dispatch e-mail.
Therefore all looks OK.

I ordered on 11th of April and my order was 'processing' until Saturday.
This was a new order.
Status is now that it is on the delivery van. Unfortunately I won't be there to receive it today and touch and go whether there will be anybody at home at all, so may have to wait an extra day.
Just had an email response to say that they have a massive backlog of orders for the galaxy s 2 and that is the reason for the delay in processing my order.

I called to get a replacement ont the 13th. They said it would take a week to get it. I called on the 18th they said it was being proccesed. I called today the 21st they said they are on backorder and have no idea when they will be available. It bothers me that they never tried to inform me of this through email or a stupid texst. Is anyones eles's vibrant on backorder? This realy sucks not getting a eta.

good news and bad news...
bad news is, the T-Mobile just got slump by overwhelming phone sending back for 2 majority reasons:
#1 phone hardware/software issue for another refurb phone
#2 people took advantage of the phone upgrades for New phones out in T-Mobile like G2 on 3rd failure crisis
so that is why, many phone are on back order!! bummer...
I was told by some local cellular shops, there is one major pain in the butt issue.
all the phone they are getting from back order 80% have Hardware Lock issue.
Guess T-Mobile is enforcing the HWLock to prevent data wipe and stock Custom Rom.
I got mine an hour ago ordered last week

Was the phone they just sent you hardware locked. I ordered a replacement phone last Friday, bc my usb port had a short. Then Tuesday they informed me it was backordered.

There is another thread on this in the general section... This is what I posted there.
I call and talked to tech services [not customer service] and they said they will send me out a replacement, Sad thing is they are on backorder. I called on the 13th they said one week. I called again on the 21st That's when I found out its on backorder. I am going to call ever day till my phone gets here.
I called today 10-22 It started out with cs I told them I was very unhappy paying 500 bucks for a phone that I can't use nor be told when I would get one. I told them I was ready to switch carriers. They transferred me to a account specialist. I told her the same story she said they would pay for shipping and give me one month free data. I asked her why can I order one on line and get it but cant get a replacement for my new one? She put me on hold and came back and said she turned it over to another dept and I would get a update text from them on a new phone. I told her that every day I don't get my phone drives me closer to dropping them. I was nice to them but firm about my displeasure. Will update this thread when I get more info. Sorry about this RANT
Nope I have full access and it was already running the JI6
The guy on the couch
I was glad not to have to worry about bricking with the update that would have been the limit for me I woulda flipped out but all is well now also the gps on your new one will be super accurate...it is on mine
The guy on the couch
My replacement is on backorder as well. I had a MyTouch before my vibrant and needed a replacement. I checked my order status several times a day (like I do now) hoping it would tell me it was shipped. The status was always backorderd and so I called them to see what the hold up was and they just told be it was on backorder and didn't know why. No less that 30 minutes later my phone arrived in the mail. I hope this is the same scenario and that my replacement arrives sooner than later.
The moral of the story, T-Mobile reps don't know **** about what or when the replacements ship.
called again Same crap different day Talked to several ppl loyalty serv. customer serv. and a account specialist. They tried to tell me they have no phones at all. I said I could order one on line, they said they were backorderd too. I went to their site and got all the way to the final check out. It seems like it would have gone threw. So I quit. 2 weeks later and they still can't tell me when I would get one? Maybe i will get a new one instead of a refurb one. I think when think when they see my number they go oh **** he is calling again. What a nice $500. paper weight

Hey guys, I got sucked in with the 6% cashback offer a few weeks back from Expansys, thinking that they would definitely be sending out the SGII on launch day, but at the moment they're saying that the phone 'should' arrive to them in ELEVEN days!
What a joke.
Anyone else going to cancel their Expansys order and go with Clove/Handtec?
It says 5 days here: http://www.expansys.com/samsung-i9100-galaxy-s-ii-16gb-209114/
I also got an email from expansys today that said they are shipping out the phones on tuesday (which incidentally is 5 days from now).
It does say 10 days in the order tracking tool for my order though, but that is because it's got the wrong product code in the order tracking (asked them about this in an e-mail a couple of days back).
May 2nd is also a bank holiday in the UK so that's probably why they are sending them out on the 3rd.
This is the e-mail I got:

I got the same email from Expansys France.
I was one of the many who lost their existing full upgrade when the Premier rules changed (had full upgrade in Feb, lost it in April). I'm still Premier Silver. Two separate chat sessions were unproductive in trying to get my upgrade eligibility "fully" changed so that it showed on the website, they just told me to call telesales when the phone is available and they'll fix it for you and order the phone. I called this morning at 9:15 EST to order the phone, and after a huge runaround she said that she was working with the Premier department and that as soon as she was able to resolve the issue and order the phone she would call me back. Wasn't expecting anything, but was hopeful. So 3pm rolls around and I just can't take it anymore, and I try again. The guy I talk to puts me on the infamous "no more than 2 minutes" hold five times for a total of 20 minutes on hold, and finally comes back with a final answer of "I advise you to wait until the 24th and go to a store or use the online link and use your $75 upgrade". Couldn't get anywhere with him even though I was very polite but firm. Kept explaining the Premier can buy it on the 21st, and he just kept repeating his "advice". Very, very frustrating. I am starting vacation on Friday and really wanted to get the phone bought and set up before I left! I wouldn't be whining if I didn't know that other people were able to get their dates reset easily... I could have just ordered the durn phone this morning if they just would have done it right. It seems the Premier preorders are backordered, so I lost that opportunity, and based on what happened today who says they will be able to give me the full upgrade as I was promised on Friday, if I can even get one?
Any Sprint insiders have advice or a hookup for me?
I'm actually mad that he didn't ask me at the end of the call if he was able to resolve all my concerns today...
Argh.
Do the same thing. If you get the same answer again, ask for the retention deparment... See how quickly things roll from there.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093232
Yeah I was in the same boat as you man REALLY disappointed last night after all I had gone through even yesterday to get it taken care of. once again told yesterday that it would be resolved. Still shows $75. Whatever Friday is almost here. Started getting worried that I didn't even get a call from my sprint store, but remembered they will not start calling until Wed evening. So god help them if I don't get a call tomorrow.
why are you awaiting a callback .. call the number in the thread as linked by Zabalba
I had the same issue as well but I got mine resolved by calling up sprint and just asking for it they put me on the line with a supervisory he checked with the premium department and gave me my upgrades so I never had any issues getting my phone.

Thank you for this,called the direct line and got my upgrade pushed up to launch day
In one call. after I tried *7 three times and got told nothing we can do.
Thanks everyone. Just like one of the ambulance chaser ads on local TV, "One call, that's all!" Reset my eligibility, ordered online. Now let's see when I get it...
Wish I would have ranted earlier in the day
You just have to ask the right people your questions.
not really getting hosed either way.
it was a great offer while it lasted.
but it would be nice for it to work out for ya.
Yeah i knew I was going to get screwed over with the "changing the upgrade" issue on my premiere account, so I actually started resolving my issue 3 weeks ago so I would be ready for launch. But for me they kept telling me that I have that override note on my account but I wanted it to show on the Best buy computers and on my account that I had the actual upgrade option. So I had to be annoying and threatened to cancel (this was done through email) and lo and behold I got a personal call from someone in the retention department assuring me they were going to change my upgrade status and got rid of that override note. And it worked.. it now says I can upgrade now on my account. So you really need to threaten to cancel to get the eligibility on your account and not that override note.
But since release date is a couple days away make sure to actually call and request a superior and mention to cancel, but obviously don't be rude, it's not the customer's reps fault
Chat does NOTHING, you have to call to get good service. (for most part).
My sister-in-law had this same problem. I called them because she had a $150 upgrade back in November of 2010, and all of a sudden it came up on her account page a week ago that she only had $75 upgrade.
I called and told them to cancel the account, and I wasn't dealing with their thieving company anymore, and I was going to get an iPhone tomorrow (which I wasn't, but I figured it would work).
Within about 2 minutes I had $150 upgrade (on both lines, and the second one wasn't due for a $75 upgrade until December 2011), and a $110 credit on my bill.

I'm going to disagree, i get 100x farther on chat than phone.
No xfering, no disconnects, practically no hold time.
no attitudes in text, and the best part is they email you the chat long so you can hold them the F to what they say haha.

almost got hoed on the 150 upgrade
Yeah they switched that premier status crap on me during the middle of my 1 yr upgrade...I have been with them almost 10 years in october then i would of been able to upgrade to 150 On october 1st for being a gold premier customer...Well right after my year warranty i Accidently dropped my phone on the concrete at my pool last weekend and spider webbed my screen.. Made the call to sprint cause i almost made a claim and changed my mind to get the screen fixed at a 3rd party store..I really didnt want to pay the 100 bucks for a new standard evo.Well i got a phone call from a sprint representative saying that sprint upped my upgrade status to a gold premier customer without me even *****ing to get it and said i could get the phone for 199 with a 2 yr contract and trade in my old evo for 150 on my phone.So now im getting the evo 3d for 50 bucks.
I just became eligible for my 75 discount. I am a premier silver customer. I called sprint and used my Jedi mind tricks and managed to get not only upgrade for 150 discount but also a 200 dollar instant rebate. So I made my order earlier today for only 219.59 after tax. A little charm goes a long way with the right Rep. Good luck.

Call up Sprint at 877-775-4886 and ask for your upgrade eligibility to be reset. I had to call them today to get my full 2 year eligibility back. It was easy as pie, just be nice to them when you ask for the reset.

All I did was email them through the website. Explained to them that if I wasn't going to get the full upgrade then I was going to be closing my accounts and going to one of the others. They sent me an email in return stating that they would reinstate my full upgrade through the telesales. I then emailed them back saying that I had already had one on preorder and would the full upgrade be marked on my account. I immediately got an email stating that this would be the case. I have printed off the copies and when I goto RS on friday to upgrade if I have any problems I have proof of my conversation. Try going that route. Got all my answers and feedback within 16hrs. Good luck.
For those of you who pre-ordered and whose orders aren't out for delivery (not being delivered today), what's your story?
I pre-ordered 5/7 around 2PM central time.
My tracking number shows delivery in Lexington.
I've received no shipping email from Sprint. My order status says "in progress".
I called Sprint and they said my phone just says it's "back-ordered".
Let's cry on each others' shoulders.
Theories:
1.) Sprint didn't keep enough stock on-hand to fulfill all pre-orders.
2.) Warehouse workers collapsed from exhaustion yesterday evening and not all phones were shipped out together. They'll ship today and we'll have them tomorrow.
3.) God hates us.
Edit: Yay ISN!

for those that show a status of delivered but don't have your device...
99.999% of the time this will actually update will all the info once it's actually scanned for the actual delivery.
However.... *if* you're in that .001% for which this isn't the case.. and your status hasn't updated by 4 or 5 today, send me a message, as we have an internal process setup as of today to handle these 'super expedited' and to bypass the 'backorder' status that you'll get if you go through a regular process to have it corrected/resent. Remember, this is for those rare scenarios only, please, I don't want to send 50 people to process, LOL... but i do expect a couple *may* need it.
so give it some hours.. but if you need it, there is an expedited process in place to handle these issues and still get you a device asap.

I got that email the first day of the pre-orders, because they needed to get some more information from me in order to port my number over from T-Mobile. For the duration of the pre-sale I had no order status and Gordon Ramsays method to see order details showed my phone as back ordered. I got various answers from Sprint's CSRs, but most indicated that my order was processing normally (I was pretty worried that something was screwed up with my order since I know better than to trust those guys). I got the MY UPS notification yesterday, and my order status finally updated with a tracking number and changed from back order to "in progress." Phone was delivered about an hour ago.
Just got off the phone with UPS, they said even though the website did now show my package was out for delivery, she confirmed it was placed on the truck this morning and is indeed out for delivery!!!! Going outside to wait now! LOL

Sorry
sent from 2yr old Evo on ICS
i ordered mine the 15th, just an hour before they shut off the pre-order part and got mine today at 350pm
I got that also, I even had an e-mail at one point from the "My UPS" thing showing that it would arrive between 3:30 and 7 today, but it then showed it as delivered to Kentucky yesterday (it had my address to begin with)
same thing for me too. nothing on my end either. they changed my info too.
The worst part of all though is that I have no idea what is going on. Even people who ordered from best buy are getting their phones first and here we are without any idea what is going on. If I at least knew if it was coming tomorrow I can plan for it (I don't want it sitting on the porch all day for someone to walk off with), but as it is, I don't know what to do!
I think the effects of the customs thing is still screwing things up. Sprint believed they had enough phones to meet initial pre-order demand but they don't. Best buy stores aren't getting enough for their pre-orders. Wirefly and amazon, who knows?
We still haven't heard anything about a national launch date probably because they don't have enough stock to give corporate stores and partners. Customs is clearing shipments probably by the pallet and that's how slowly Sprint is receiving them.
We could see another gap of a week or two if customs is the hold-up again.

No email from Best Buy regarding my G3 for Verizon. Supposed to be released today 7/17 but website now says Release Date: To be announced.
Called my local store and they have confirmed they do not have any g3s nor have any information on their arrival. I would just go to a Verizon store but I have a 50 dollar gift card that I can apply towards the G3!.
Post any information you may have collected or heard.

I didn't get an email today either but I went into Best Buy this afternoon anyways. I just handed the guy my pre-order paperwork and said "I'm here to pick up and activate my Verizon G3". The guy said "oh I think they're still in the back, they just came off the truck". Sure enough, he came back with it and I'm typing this on it now. I'm not sure if they weren't sopposed to give it to me or not but I figured I'd give it a shot. I still haven't gotten the email from Best Buy either. You might get lucky if you go in and just act like you got the email. Good luck!

Interesting. Maybe their just a little late getting to California stores....
The Best Buy stores in my area received them today (the 17th). We received the AT&T and Sprint ones a little ahead of the release but the Verizon ones we recieved day of. Give it a day or so and they will have them if they don't already. I don't know how the email system works, but it might indeed be worth it to walk in and ask.
Seems like the bigger city stores got them but not the smaller cities. I called my local store, Ames, IA and they said Des moines had some but theirs were still on order.
I got this email today:

Went to Verizon to pick it up instead and will cancel my BB order when it is available. I was disappointed. Did anyone get the $50 gc for new activation?

Interesting. It doesn't look like everyone has received these emails. When did you place your order? Mine was first thing in the morning on 7/11 and AFAIK they didn't have the pre-order available on 7/10 like VZW, so I'm fairly confident I'm one of the first folks that pre-ordered. A rep I spoke with did confirm that they're going to ship in the order in which the orders were placed, so maybe there's some sort of issue where they realized they don't have enough stock to cover all pre-orders and are send emails to folks who ordered after some cutoff time? Another possible thought might be that if you pre-ordered and had one of the expedited shipping options (i.e. your expected delivery was yesterday or today) and they knew they weren't going to meet the estimated time they sent the email?
All speculation of course hinging on my hope that I might see a new phone in the next 4 weeks.

I got the same e-mail yesterday and am very frustrated. I did my pre-order on the morning of 7/12. I'm debating if I should just walk into a store and see what happens....

Look like store availability is running on the site. Might what to check your location.
I think they are all screwed up over there. Has anyone tried to order and have the phone shipped to home? I keep getting that the shipping option is not available on the Verizon model. I went into the store yesterday and ask about Shipping and they said that this phone would have to be activated in the store.
Getting absolutely nowhere with BB support. Judging by the twitter conversation I had with them, it doesn't look like they've started shipping any devices at all, with no estimate on when they'll start.
Since we're all on here twiddling our thumbs until they give us something to chew on, anyone care to share when they pre-ordered and whether they've received a delay email?

You may want to check with your local Best Buy because I just checked a little bit ago on the website and it shows that my small local Best Buy has them now. It showed that they weren't available this morning.

Specifically had it shipped to avoid having a best buy employee activate the phone and kill my UDP.

Just received a call from a BB rep saying they won't be able to ship the LG G3 for "a couple of months."

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at Best Buy for thinking that's correct and laughing at that employee for having to make that phone call. They are just asking for it.
I just went into my local best buy and they didn't even know they had them in the storage shelves right behind them. I had to tell the guy the phone came out yesterday and then he checked for it. I didn't get to use the $50 upgrade promotion but they did let me use the $50 towards accessories like a screen protector, case, and audio aux cable. Loving the phone so far.
Had a pre order with Amazon.got an email this morning saying delay this delay that sorry wah wah. Cancelled order went on best buy website. Paid for replacement device(full price) got my your pickup is ready email. Typing from my amazing g3. Best buy chick was on top of it. Even have ne me the option for her to activate it or me at home. I said. Me (duh). Popped SIM in as soon as I was in the car. The rest is history. I did pay more at best buy but I call it a(I want my device now) fee.

We have Verizon LG G3 in Washington DC BBC ?
I am still waiting for my 10th Of July preorder from Verizon not BestBuy.
Amazon, UDP, $400 Activation Fee
Wonder if you go with Amazon and perform sim swap trick to maintain UDP, would you be hit with the $400 fee for not activating it Amazon's way? Given the delays with BB, I'm almost tempted to take a shot with Amazon but wouldn't necessarily want to get hit with an extra $400 for not following their directions. Any experiences buying phones off Amazon but maintaining UDP with sim trick?
Went to best buy and upgraded with Verizon edge and they gave me a 100$ gift card. They had a 24 inch 1080p TV for 120. So I got the TV for 30$ put the door ..glad I upgraded
