This is great - got mine on the first attempt. Rep knew exactly what I was talking about. $14.22 total.
1st attempt over the phone, no luck - said i need to buy the phone at the same time.
Attempting again.
Success Order by phone 1-866-866-7509 - Telesales - Option for 'other', then options for Phone/Accessory purchase.
Simply said i wanted to take advantage of battery bundle online for my Galaxy Nexus, they did the rest. Cost me $14.04, which is shipping + Tax.
Work through your frustration if you don't succeed the first time, NOT REPS FAULT, the items clearly states you have to BUY PHONE at the time of battery purchase, so we are technically circumventing the system to our advantage here.
No excuses "i would have waited for the promo" that's BS, this phone came out months ago, we don't sit around waiting for accessories to go on sale to buy a phone, so don't give the reps any if they don't cooperate the first time around. Just sayin.
Enjoy!
Yes, it's true that the info posted on the website on the day of the promo said that the free battery came with the purchase of the phone. But, the internal Sprint memo that was leaked earlier in the week specifically stated that the promo was for new and existing customers and that no purchase was necessary. (If you Google it several of the Android blogs (but not AC?) have the memo posted.)
Now I completely understand that leaked internal memos are rumor and not official promotions, but I don't think Sprint can blame anyone for being confused, and I bet that's why telesales decided to honor the promotion for existing customers. I'm not taking advantage of the situation. I didn't call up and lie to the sales rep. I just called to ask for something that the best info I have says that I should be able to get.
Sorry for the rant.
