    Pre-ordering with Best Buy

    For anyone following, an update. After a long while on Sprint chat, and several escalations, someone was able to activate my phone! I have no idea what he did, but his name was Eriberto and he's my hero :) So, it is possible, you just have to find the right person.

    Pre-ordering with Best Buy

    I've heard about popping in the old sim card, but unfortunately I traded in my old phone and left it in there. This is a new line though so maybe that wouldn't have helped. I did notice if I enter my IMEI on the sprint site it locates the device and the SIM card, however it's only letting me...

    Pre-ordering with Best Buy

    I'm on Sprint and went to pick up my Note 10+ earlier today. The phone wouldn't activate automatically and they tried calling Sprint and some other help lines they had available to them. No success with any of them and the phone doesn't show on my Sprint account. One of the people they called...

    Gear Sport Vibration Weak?

    I agree, the vibration is too weak. Maybe this is something they can tweak via a firmware update. I had two different Pebbles in the past and they were much stronger.

    Release date?

    Mine just shipped and says delivery by Saturday. Still possible it'll arrive tomorrow since it's not coming from to far away, I suppose. Edit: Definitely not arriving until tomorrow. It's funny because the Best Buy site says Fedex is showing a delay in delivery, however BB didn't ship it out...

    That's good news. I currently subscribe to Google Play Music but will try Spotify for the free trial and watch support!

    Is Samsung Always So Stingy with Samsung Pay Rewards?

    Sprint users can get a $25 Best Buy card for 4k points, that's what I did to use toward the new Gear Sport watch.

    Release date?

    I'm going to get the Sport for the following reasons: - I'm a grown man with little girlish wrists so this will be a better fit for me. - Better water resistance rating. We have a pool and I don't want to worry about it taking the thing off. - I have $75 in Best Buy gift cards from Samsung pay...

    Target Note 7 Recall Thread

    Turns out I was worried about nothing. I don't believe we actually paid any taxes. We did the installment plan and taxes were figured into it. Just returned out two Notes on Saturday and we received credit for our installment payments shortly after the return. Nobody asked for any gift cards...

    Target Note 7 Recall Thread

    Have people had luck returning their phone to Target, getting a full refund including taxes, and NOT having to return the $100 gift card? Sprint is telling me I need to take it to back to Target to get my money back. Also, do we need to return all the accessories? Seems to me it wouldn't...
