Hello fellow Xda members. I was hoping to get some advice from the community on how to go about my pre order dilemma. So I am a current Verizon wireless subscriber and currently have 4 lines with Verizon. All of our lines had 1 more year remaining before contract was fulfilled and we were up for full upgrades. We received an email saying that they were going to offer 2 of our lines a limited time promotional upgrade. This was due to those lines still having basic phones. (Mother and Father in law) So my mother in law was so gracious to allow me to pre order the note 2 on her line so that I can have it. According to Verizon we have to keep the note 2 on her line for 2 weeks, before we can switch it over to mine. Is there a way to avoid this? Obviously cause I don't want to wait another 2 weeks, well and my mother in law wouldn't know what to do with it. LOL Also my other reason for wanting to avoid her having it for 2 weeks, is because I know verizon is going to charge us for a data plan on her line for the whole 2 weeks she would have it. I am not sure if it would work like this, but since they are shipping it to my house, I figure I can just call them and have them switch the IMEI and just purchase a new sim card for my number?
Thanks!
Was wondering the same thing. I have a flip phone on one of my lines and ordered the note 2 also. So you are saying I have to keep the phone on that line for 2 weeks then I could switch it to my phone. Did they say if you could downgrade the plan back to a no data plan.

Well to be honest my situation may be a different exception than your situation. They said it had to stay on my mother in laws line for 2 weeks because it was a promotional offer for the full upgrade. Since they were offering her upgrade a year only because they were still on "basic" phones.I haven't asked about downgrading the pan to a no data plan yet. I just want to try to avoid having to add a data plan for just one month, considering my mother in law would not make use of it.
Don't worry, when you get the Galaxy note 2 just follow these steps:
1. Activate Galaxy Note 2 on the line you upgraded (your mother in law.) Let it get signal and settle for a couple minutes.
2. Now reactivate the phone that was previously on that line. If that happens to be a basic phone, as soon as you activate it, the data plan will be dropped since you can't have data on a basic phone. You will be charge the prorated price of a dollar if you had the 2GB data plan for $30 since it is considered to have been active for one day.
3. Basically the Galaxy Note 2 is unlocked to any Verizon line or account now. The reason you must activate it first on the line you purchased it for is due to the shipping security procedure to ensure you received the phone.
I've done this a couple of times it literally take about 5-10 mins, and is really simple.

Well thanks for the information, so once I remove it from her account all that i would need to do is purchase a sim card for my line to put into the note 2, right? I am currently using a loaner HTC Rezound until I get my note 2, can I just use that sim card? Once again, thanks for all your help!

I have a Rezound as well right now, you can't use that sim card since you need a micro sim and the Rezound use a standard sim. You could try cutting it, but it would be simpler just get a new one.

Damn that's far, I think you can get them to mail you one, I'm gonna call Verizon later today and see because I'd like to have the sim as soon as I get the phone, but there luckily is a store close by if not. I'll let ya know though later.
Just letting everyone know that currently ATT doesn't have the unlock codes available. However cellunlocker.net have used them whenever ATT fails me as of now has them LG-D800 for the model number.. Just got my code and the first one I was sent worked (Phone said unlock successful and rebooted) Just need to get home to test with my international Sim. Cost was only 7.99
Confirmed working, just popped in an international sim.

I just got my unlocked code for my G2 last night for the heck of it. My question is for me to input this, I have to insert an international sim card in it? Is there a way to just manually enter it without changing sims to test?

I'm pretty sure you just have to put in a non-AT&T Sim. Go to a T-Mobile store and ask to borrow a sim. That's what I do.

I have an ATT LG G2 w/ Straight Talk (I worked for years in the cellular industry so I figured I could avoid their CS issues 95% of the time). Working great, and no issues, but always looking at options. Had the Verizon unlimited plan, and realized I use data so little lately (most is on WiFi and only transit times are really on true data) that it made no sense to pay a ridiculous sum for what I used my phone for.
Have a T-MO SIM at home, they were like 1 buck shipped so I picked up a Micro and Nano just in case for a fast swap, so I may try their 70/7GB plan out and play a little more data heavy (my work re-reimburses 70 so anything up to there is a wash for me).
Ahhhh the joys of number porting, and GSM phones. Play w/ everything until you find the sweet spot.

This part confused me. You don't use much data but are going for a 7gb plan?
At any rate, how is Straight-Talk? I believe they recently started offering ATT network. I have used the tmo prepaid plan and that worked nicely.
Thanks
I don't use it normally, but that's just by habit. I may try being a little bit less data conscious w/ it if I try since my out of pocket isn't different between the two plans. I used to be a lot more data heavy, but with WiFi going everywhere I make it a point to drop onto trusted networks because it's easier on my battery (in addition to the obvious data savings). I was using under 2GB max monthly with my VZN Unlimited plan so it made no sense to pay over 2x what I am now with ST for it and I changed.
It's solid. I went to it only because they switched on ATT LTE and have no problems. Their CS I've heard nightmares about, but I haven't had an issue. Their site freaked out and error'd during my PORT REQUEST and it billed my card 2x, and didn't port. I hit up their online person and they gave me a case and # to call. Called and within 30mins they had my port in process, 1 charge applied to it, and the other crediting back. So that particular instance was fine.
My only gripe is if you're an LTE speed purist as they appear to use a proxy that varies. I did a WHAT IS MY IP a minute ago and it was a service in FL (I'm in AZ) and another time I think it showed somewhere in CA. So they're using a proxy service which is going to cut your speeds depending on the hops back / forth / destination. Overall, though, for 45 bucks a month I have no complaints.
"It's solid. I went to it only because they switched on ATT LTE and have no problems."
This is what interested me, precisely. I am not worried about speed. Honestly, if I get more than 4 or 5 mbit, I am prefectly happy, since I don't do much on the phone that really requires high speeds...like torrenting
with TMO 4g, I was getting up to 12mbit. With att lte and my particular home location, I am lucky to see 12mbit (although in areas near me I have seen 52mbit). But, TMO has a few dead spots in my area that att doesn't. At some point I will probably eat the ETF and go to a prepaid.
Thanks for the info.

NP. I simply activated, threw on CleanROM, tossed in the new APN settings and I was good to go. LTE and MMS worked right away. You do need the new SIM card I'm hearing so it flags LTE ability in the system, but I was a new customer anyhow so that's what they sent (and had free shipping when I ordered it).
That's really all that matters... your personal experience. I dig Prepaid because I bought all my phones anyways (I really hate contracts because I'm technology finicky) so it seemed like a better option to change to a GSM carrier since I was being sent a phone for our game anyways and I just had to choose the phone / carrier. Now I can service bounce if I want, and not pay ridiculous VZN prices. Switching my wife to her own VZN plan (we've had it so long they had a single line 60 dollar plan for unlimited/unlimited/2GB) and giving her my iPhone 5 and then changing to ST we save like 50 a month. Even if I bump my plan we still save (not counting my work paying for 70 anyways). It was a no brainer.
Haven't had an Android phone for an extended period since the OG Droid on Verizon and I'm loving the LG G2 and where Android is now.

Yeah, I kept my previously used tmo sim just for unlocking. It expired and I would have to get a new one. As to buying on contract, doing the math, I can wait a couple months, cancel the contract, pay the etf and should be cheaper than buying it outright for almost $700. I have to be as cheap as possible these days

I'm thinking about leaving my note 2 and go to the note 3. Sprint offers a "1 up" program where you are eligible to do an upgrade after 1 year. My problem is this. They told me that I have to turn my phone in and pay $350 for the note 3. I bought my note 2 through sprint for $600! Is there any way around me not having to turn my note 2 in??? Doesn't seem right since I bought the phone and not leased it. What would you guys do???

That's not right at all, make sure you're going to a corporate Sprint store. (Go to the Store Locator on Sprint.com and look for stores labelled "Sprint Store" not "Sprint Store by Whatever Communications".) If you're eligible for upgrade you don't have to turn the phone in. I just did it on my line a couple of weeks ago and didn't have to turn in my old phone and I didn't pay anything up front except sales tax.
They may not realize your Note 2 was not subsidized when you bought it. Normally, under the 1 up program, you do have to turn in your old phone. You are making payments on the full price of the phone, and since you can upgrade in a year (before paying off the phone), you turn in the old phone. But, I don't think you should have to do that with the Note 2, since you paid full price for it.
From what I heard that if you are eligible for an upgrade or have bought a phone on a non contract status that you shouldn't have to give up or trade in a phone to do the 1 up program. Correct me if I'm wrong guys

You shouldn't have to turn in your phone or pay 250. I did the one up program, only paid the taxes, and kept my phone. I'm still under contract for one more year too.

Only problem I have with the One-up program is they flip you to one of their unlimited plans. If you have multiple lines like me (five), and have unlimited data, text, cell, but shared minutes, it's a frickin nightmare to justify the expense. Even when they offered to force just my master line onto one of the two unlimited plans, the math just didn't pan out. Staying off contract and in my existing plan were two things of which I didn't want to let go.

I have 2 lines unlimited and been with Sprint for 13 years. I left my HTC EVO and went with the note 2 when it first came out. I signed another 2 year contract and paid $600 for the note 2. Now that it screwed up on me I want the note 3 so I wanted to do the 1 up deal because my contract doesn't run out until July........I just cant believe I would have to turn in my note 2 and pay $350 for the note 3. The $350 for the note 3 doesn't really bother me....the thought of having to turn in my note 2 that cost me $600 does. That makes no sense to me at all why they said I would have to do that.

If your contract ends in July, you should have an upgrade available in March. If you want to do the 1 up thing before this, I'd activate the evo prior to doing so. This way you can trade in your evo instead of your Note 2.

Like I said before, that's not accurate. If you bought the Note 2 outright when it came out, you should be already eligible to upgrade and that means you do not have to turn in the Note 2. I have no idea where the $350 figure came from because that's the price for regular upgrades, not the One Up program. Again, make sure you're going to a corporate store, they're the only ones that can do One Up right now.

Do the test drive for 7 days. Test out the service in areas that you visit and live in. If it's all good, then just return the phone for free and sign up. You're not going to be risking anything.

No idea if he has a S5. But since he's posting in a S5 forum, it's a distinct possibility that he may have an S5 from his previous carrier.
And the suggestion may be in interest to others who subsequently read the thread as well.

Well yeah, has probably has one from verizon...big red. You can't use that on tmobile (as you know).
I switched to T-Mobile over a year ago from Verizon.
I was on Verizon for 6 months but couldn't stand the high prices for data.
I paid the etf of over $300 and never looked back.
I knew I'd make up the $300 in 6 months with the money I'd be saving. Everything after that would be gravy.
This is what I did:
- I had the S3 with Verizon for 6 months
- I went to the T-Mobile store across the street
- I checked out the S4 and signed up. I was issued a new phone number because I didn't want to port over from Verizon yet as I wanted to see how the reception was in the areas I frequent.
- I had a 14 day trial period.
- I still had my S3 active.
- After 2 days, I went back to Tmo and ported my number from Verizon.
I never looked back and have saved a ton of money, and continue to do so.
I have Unlimited LTE data, and never have to worry about data overages or throttling.
I even got reception with my S4 where I could not with my S3.
I don't know if this was because the S4 had a better antenna than the S3, or if it was because Tmo had more towers in that area. I think it was the latter, as the Tmo map showed I'd get reception and I did.
I now have the S5 with Tmo and am really satisfied with the S5 and the Tmo network and service.
I'm on Jump 1, so I can upgrade my device every 6 months no matter what I owe on the device to be traded in.
Jump 2 is now available, but I am grandfathered into my original Jump 1.

I just switched to T-Mobile from Sprint....and compared to Sprint's horrible service in the Denver area the service improvement is HUGE!
This is what I did (may not be entirely ethical in the grand scheme of things, but is legal)
My 2 year contract with Sprint was due to be done in August of this year. In June, Sprint notified me that I could get a new phone and renew a new 2 year contract early.
I signed up online for the tmobile try before you buy plan. I'm not a fan of the iphone but it was cool to verify the service was better than what I had and worked everywhere I needed before making any commitment to change. 1 week was long enough to know (actually 5 minutes was long enough but I took the entire week).
Kept an eye on techbargains.com for a free or 1 cent tmobile sim card....to avoid paying $10 for one in the store.
Bought a cheap SPRINT smart phone on ebay for around $15.00 (I think...although it may have been $35...)
Went ahead and renewed my contract with Sprint and paid $199 for a brand new HTC M8.
Signed up at tmobile, ported my Sprint number, used the sim card I paid 1 cent for and traded in the cheap smart phone I got on ebay. My next bill from sprint had a $350 early termination fee which I paid and then submitted to tmobile as they will pay up to a $350 early termination fee.
The parts I'm still working on are to receive the $350 etf reimbursement from tmobile (they say up to 12 weeks) and to sell the brand new HTC M8 and my old, still working, Sprint S3 on ebay.
My bill did go up about $30 per month but I have the jump protection and I'm paying ~$27 a month in a payment plan for my new S5.
Long story, but so far one with a happy ending!

Five lines, renewed contract in March so they were all at 350 each still for the Etf... That was sprint, I live in Washington state and calls were great but the data sucked ass, T-Mobile is pretty damn good up here, the fastest test speed I have got is 107 Meg... Best on lte with sprint was like 2.7 Meg... What sucks though is with sprint you have to pay tax on the Etf which T-Mobile doesn't cover, so came out of pocket for taxes on almost 1800.00... But well worth it in the end.
I've moved my personal lines to T-Mobile from Verizon here in Cincinnati. Right now, the jury is still out on the move. The main reason for switching is the international plans T-Mobile offers. I went to a concert at Paul Brown Stadium and couldn't get service.

I've recently looked into switching off contract to an edge plan when the G4 releases so I can have control of my contract when I'm ready to move on from Verizon, but currently Verizon is the only service that works in my house. I cracked my screen a week ago and the rep said I had to get the screen repaired and the phone be in "warranty-able" condition. Here's where my question stands, I replaced the screen, bezel(mid frame) and battery door with all gold parts when I originally bought the white version, will Verizon still take it? or am I SOL?
Your IMEI will come up as a white G3 in their system. Since you are unable to change IMEI I do not think they would take it. Just my take on it though I have no knowledge of exactly What they would do.

Thankfully talking to a rep this morning, they will still take it as long as its still the same IMEI and logicboard inside, and functions. Down side is I have to wait until after July 25 to try applying for EDGE, apparently you have to be at least 1 year into your 2 year upgrade period to change.

I wish I could take the edge route. I still have unlimited data so have to buy newer phones off eBay at higher prices or use family line upgrades instead of mine. I've been month to month for 2 years now

sometimes I miss my unlimited data, but since I'm on wifi or at my retail job where I cant use my phone 99% of the time I use a whopping 500mb a month of my data so I took the option for a cheaper phone back with the g2, then resigned and got the g3 with the free gpad back when the g3 released.
