Best Buy pre order help!

[ksavaiano]

So i was speaking to a best buy chat rep online a bit earlier today. I am on a plan with my father from sprint as it is cheaper for me that way! Now i talked to sprint and if i upgraded with them i could go in to the store, give them the acct password and sign the contract if they gave the account holder a call to approve it. Now with best buy they told me the account holder has to be there and has to sign the contract. From any of your experiences is this true? Seems like it might become a hassle for me. And also, if i were to pre order with sprint online, how do you go about signing the contract? I may be sticking to best buy but i wouldnt like to have to wait a few extra days because my account holder is not available to pick up the phone..

If you're an authorized user then it shouldn't be an issue and you would just need your ID. But a phone call doesn't sound too imposing.

online is a lot easier. you would just breeze through the Sprint site checking off a few boxes.

See i was thinking about switching... but at best buy i already put my $50 down so im pretty sure they cant refund my gift card, which is okay i guess. Plus ordering from sprint would give me an earlier delivery, EXCEPT i was leaning towards using best buy for insurance and if im not mistaken you have to buy the phone there, right?

I'm holding out for the black 64 on Sprint. Anyone know when the black version should hit?

Yeah so i most likely wouldnt be getting my $50 deposit back in the form of any money besides a gift card, which i guess is fine but i would really like to take advantage of their insurance.. damn best buy

Nobody is sure on when black will arrive due to the quality issues, but unfortunately 64GB One is an AT&T Exclusive. No 64GB for Sprint.

You can upgrade so long as your a authorized user. I do it all the time.

Just get your Father to call Sprint (you both may need to go to a Sprint store) and add you as an authorized user on the account.
