anyone else around Ocean County/on the shore of NJ experiencing that huge verizon outage? it's weird bc the samsung devices of my coworkers would stay on 1x moreso than mine..i'd get 0 bars and "no service." wonder if they do that so it doesn't drain as much battery..
anyway it's been since like 3pm and STILL no service at all over here. sucks.
*edit*
just got through finally...apparently a fiber line somewhere was cut, and 38 towers in NJ are down. damn, that's crazy. they've been working on it since around 3pm and have NO eta for when service will be back.
That sucks. Hit them up for a nice credit on your bill.

Recently called into sprint to get an airave, apparently i was in a great coverage area but only had 2 bars and alot of dropped calls on my evo 3d, so they agreed to give me an airave for free, so they were on back order and i moved between the time i called and recieved it, i used to live out in the country now i live in a small town and apparently i have the best service here too (lol), service here still wasnt the best so i decided to try out the airave called in got it hooked up, set it up beside a window and waited the hours for it to be provisioned, the guy said hed call back the next day to make sure it activated rofl yeah right, never a phone call and i had to call back in, turns out the damn airave cant get a gps signal and wont work, and im in a great coverage zone right? Next off is my bill, i changed from the 69.99 plan to a 1500 family plan that was 130 a month got the next bill and it was 266$$ whoa wtf!!!! Called in multiple times one rep said theyd credit me 213$$ the next 60$$ and the next $120 but guess what??? Not a ****ing thing was credited and once again i called in about it only to be told id be called back about it and the guy was suppose to call me back yesterday, if this aint horrible customer service i dont know what is, lets just say next time i call im going to be a complete beligerent asshole!!! So im now stuck with a non working airave, much wasted time, and a 266$ bill, sprint can kiss my ****ing ass!!

I just got approved for a free Airave today. Hopefully it works out better than your situation. Sorry to hear.
Read the title with the Elmer Fudd voice. Awesome.
The credit should be noted on your account, just verify it. If not, have them apply it.

Fail post title.
I have called Sprint multiple times in the past few weeks and days to ask when I can upgrade.
This applies to everyone.
This especially applies to anyone who bought the Epic 4G the very first day it came out. I did and my upgrade got set to June 1st rather than the original date of September. September would have been two years since the Epic came out, but Sprint is nice and has moved the upgrade up. Yours should have too. I did nothing special to get it like that.
Anyways....
If you call Sprint you can get your upgrade pushed forward up to a maximum of two weeks.
Users that can upgrade on June 1st, can actually upgrade two weeks earlier, May 18. Which just so happens to be the day the EVO LTE gets released.
You must call Sprint the 14th day before your upgrade and say you want this applied to your account. Then you can walk in any store and upgrade/renew your contract.
Best thing is, it's free.
Like everything else you may need to speak to a few different reps. I called this am and the first rep told me Sprint would only move it if i went to a Sprint corp store and they verified there was an issue with my current handset that i wanted to perform the upgrade on. I asked when did this start and the rep said it has been that way since he has worked for Sprint. I hung up and called back, spoke to a new rep that told me on Friday the 18th he would submit the request and i would be all set. So it will be moved from 6/1 till 5/18. You just have to get an informed rep with Sprint.
Do it while you can. Rumor is they are stopping that option next month,

Never knew this offer existed. Seems sprint had always adjusted my account within a few days for each of there summer launches. guess I'll call in tomorrow just incase.

How much money do they really lose by letting customer's upgrade 10 days early?
They should focus their energy on real money making strategies instead of pissing off their customers. The board should force dumb ass Dan Hesse to resign for signing that iPhone deal that's costing them so much money.
So I went to Mexico last week to Cancun for vacations and wifi suck in my room I gave up and use over 100mb on international roaming (Facebook pull a lot data)

That will come up to over 400$ plus in one month plus the current charges, anyways I called them today to see if they can add international charges, (I also said that I had ask for it before leaving to Mexico) and they actually help me with 325$ so I ma pay 75$ extra which ain't great but better then nothing, just want to give the heads up in case anyone else gets in this kind of trouble
Next time I'm just gonna take my unlocked iPhone and get a sim card for it over there, I wish the evo could be use with SIM tho
UPDATE
here is a pic they fixed 75$ definitely worth from what I used but ill be smart next time about it

Yeah, always use local services. In't roaming on every carrier worldwide is nuts.

This is standard with nearly all carriers. You should have checked the rates before you turned on mobile data. I'm glad they cut you some slack on the price, but to be honest this isn't "screwed up", you should have known better.

Consumer advocate Clark Howard always recommends getting a prepaid cell when heading out of the country, more specifically a GSM prepaid phone.

Using your phone on vacation? And FB? Not much of a vacation.
One of the best weeks of my life was a vacation to Mexico where I left my phone off in the suitcase for 5 days. No phone. No computer. Nothing. It was the best.

I really hate that verizon told me that they were shipping my phone to me via fed ex even though I went into the store to preorder. I now have to wait for fed ex to drop it off so I am on their time until it arrives. why have a store that just makes me order it the same way I can do it myself. I would much rather have the phone in my hands at 8am when they open on wednesday morning not 2pm when the fed ex driver gets done eating lunch.
other things that irritated me about the preorder experience.
1. they dont accept Cash
2. they tried to make me sign the ipad for my receipt... I made them print me one and give me a pen (just to be a prick more than anything)
3. $30 upgrade fee? wtf is that... once I get the phone I'm going to call and get that removed since its a bogus charge for a 13year VZW customer... you dont even need to call and activate anymore all I need to do is swap my sim from my nexus and put it in the DNA so I'll ask them what the $30 covers cause its not VZW store employees who are accepting my order and helping me "activate" or set up my phone which they shipped to my house.
did anyone else preorder instore? or did everyone else order online?
I'm not sure why you would pre-order today as you won't get it for 2 days, if you wanted to pick it up at 8AM in store why didn't you just wait until tomorrow and go in and get it? I never heard of anyone pre-ordering in store.
Also, Verizon has been charging the $30 upgrade fee for a while now, but only if you buy it subsidized.
I preordered last week on Wednesday... I always do it in store cause I always upgrade a different line than my data line... Call me old fashioned but every once in a while I like to interact with other people and not a computer.

sucks. That's why I didn't bother to pre-order. I'm just going to go when they open at 8 tomorrow.
I pre-ordered it last wednesday as well. Still no update. :/
My tracking just updated... I might get it today if it comes before work... No one knows about this phone other than people who follow android so I doubt you will have a problem walking in and getting it.

Best news I've seen all day.
You don't have to go by FedEx time. Have them hold it at the station so you can go pick it up when they open.

I'm the same way, I always go to the store to order new phones and accessories.
My question though was why you drove to the store to pre-order it when you could have just driven there tomorrow morning instead and know that you can just pick it up then and there.
I really wanted a unlocked one for rooting and roms but 300 bucks off is really nice..

Just an FYI. If you already bought a V30 from verizon, between 12/1/17 and today, give them a call and they will give you the discount retrospectively. I was upset when i first saw this because I had just purchased the phone. They gave me the discount as a "price match".
Just got a call back from them saying they were wrong and can't give me the discount. wow.
naw I didnt buy one. Think im going to just wait for the unlocked one

wow f them, return it take the restocking fee and buy another one.. still be ahead.
Would this also qualify for the $400 back from LG on a second device?
Has anyone been able to get the discount in the store? Currently the site says the discount is online only but I cant seem to use the local pickup option when upgrading online.
i think the times they were running promos were diff.
