has anyone in this thread ordered an unlocked phone and is with sprint? if so, and you've gotten your phone, what did you have to do to activate and did your phone come with a sim? thanks.

Daaaaammmnnn. I still have a Black one at the Best Buy about 5 minutes away but I’m still holding out for the Aura Glow and free Buds. Tempting though.
Anyone that ordered direct from Samsung w/ATT Next gotten a reminder or anything about returning your old device? I have in the past but nothing this year.

Finally got my last item from Samsung. It's that silicone case and I don't like it. I should have gotten something else.

what don't you like about it? I generally prefer silicone cases, but didn't want to pay their price to test it.

It's really thin and flimsy and the bottom of the phone is not covered. It's just open. I thought it would be like a tpu case.

I really love silicone cases, but they're not for everyone. I didn't like the Samsung because it doesn't cover the bottom and I was afraid it would just be another TPU case which I really don't like. I got this one on Amazon and if it isn't what I need it's easy enough to return (free returns with prime, not sure about non-prime purchases), and it covers the bottom. if it really is silicone and covers the bottom, that's all I need and want.

and I will say this, the Samsung case I got for my Note 8, the Alcantara, was really thin with no bottom protection, but when my phone flew off the top of my car and bounced on rocks, gravel, and asphalt when I went around a corner, the case did its job and my phone was perfect even though the case was beat all up. I replaced it with another Alcantara.

Yes I did. I requested a Sprint Sim when I ordered the phone, and it was in the box. Activation was easy. I put the sim in, restarted, and it went through activation right on the phone. Super easy. Don't forget to turn on VoLTE and wifi calling if you want to use it. It is in Connections / Voice networks.

I like this one. This is how I thought the Samsung one was. It was free so I'm not going to complain too much though.
Don’t blame you man. If the Aura Glow was available locally, I’d do the same.
Speaking of Aura Glow, I wonder if any Aura Glow phones have even shipped since the first batch.

thanks. did you try your current sim first?
I didn't request a specific one. if they don't include one then I'll try my sprint sim first. if that doesn't work I ordered a Sprint kit from Amazon that will arrive the day before my 10+. if I don't need it I can return it for free (they'll probably tell me to keep it because it was so cheap).

Finally was able to place another order after my defective unit made it back to Samsung today.
