T-Mobile Pre-order Thread.

Anyone having issues setting a wallpaper? I select my desired wallpaper, it says its set and it doesn't change. I don't remember dark mode preventing wallpaper changes on the s20.

I just did my pre-order of the Mystic Bronze Note 20 Ultra using JOD. The sticker shock for the down payment was huge! I am upgrading from Note 10+. I tried to call to pre-order, but the area I was in was too noisy. The rep could not hear me. I used the app to open a chat and ordered through there. Much easier than dealing with a live rep on the phone. Since I was late to pre-order, I probably won't receive it until sometime next week.

Got a text from UPS today that my new Note 20 Ultra will be delivered on Thursday (8/20). Also, my CC company sent an email and said my CC had been charged. Excited to get my Note!

Also want to add, I haven't owned an otterbox defender in a couple years and I must say they have come a long ways. Really happy with it, except the price. Only reason I bought is is because I didn't have a chance to order one from Amazon before the phone showed up also there wasn't much available.

I ordered from Samsung directly last night (T-Mobile, Ultra, 512GB, Black) to also get the ear buds with the phone instead of having to wait to get the phone and then claim the promotion. I normally do JOD but since the down was so frickin' high I decided to just purchase the phone out right. I'm going to try and just do every other generation since not much changes from one year to another... we'll see how that goes. Saumsung is saying "Expected Delivery Sep 15th". I'm hoping it's a lot sooner than that as it's almost a month away but it is what it is. I thought of trying to find one at a store on launch day and cancel but then I won't be eligible for the promotion as it has to be a pre-order by 8-20-20.

UPS sent a text and said the phone would be delivered on Thursday (8/20). I was thinking of getting it directly from Samsung but yeah, it would not be delivered until sometime in September. I can wait for the buds.

Anyone on sprint, that ordered their Note via Samsung, did you have to go gets a new Sprint sim card or does the Note have a esim that can be activated on Sprint?

Just a heads up that TMobile Insider program is going on still and the note 20 should qualify for the 5g device rebate. If you know an associate of TMobile they can give you 1 of 3 insider codes to use. Each employee has 1 code to give new customer 20% off, new customer $200 rebate on 5g phone bought on EIP, and $200 rebate for existing customer to buy 5g phone on EIP. Redeem at insider.tmobile.com

What if you already got the phone can it still be used?

 

[Dreng]

You can't submit the request until you have the imei number. So you have to own the phone before starting the process. It also does not work on leased phones.

I'm in same exact boat as you

Sprint don’t have a dedicated thread anymore. So I assumed someone in here would answer. Otherwise I’ll just post a thread asking the question.

Did you get this problem sorted? Did you try multiple images?

Wow, that's crazy. I might have to call T-Mobile and cancel the Samsung order if it's that much of a time difference.

So I called T-Mobile and it's going to ship out tomorrow and should have it Tuesday. Thanks for the heads up on that, I wonder why Samsung is so much of a longer wait than T-Mobile?

This will be my third time I'm swapping out my device on Sprint and I just order a new sim card every time. It's the Sprint universal sim kit SIMOLW516TQ. This same card worked in the S10 and Note 10+ also.

For those that put insurance on your new N20U, are you using t-mobile insurance or directly from samsung?

 

[DaBlackman619]

Samsung cheaper and same benefits

TMobile, I have Jump 1.0 so it has the required insurance plan associated with it.

I will never make this mistake again. I have T-mobile, but am part of the samsung upgrade program. the day I was able to upgrade, T-mobile was unavailable so I went with AT&T. Come to find out, the AT&T phone is SIM locked and required a unlock. No one at Samsung, AT&T or T-Mobile were able to assist. I had to go ahead and purchase one directly from T-Mobile. It has the ship date of tomorrow. Lets see when it arrives.

I got my Note 20 Ultra today! I ordered it Tuesday (8/18) night and requested overnight shipping. I haven't had a chance to open the package yet because I was on my way to work (I work nights). I don't know why Samsung is delaying shipping. They may have received more orders than anticipated through their website, and now are coming up short. When I talked to the T-mobile Rep he said that T-mobile had all 3 colors still available and ready to ship.

I just popped the new sim card into the Note 20 Ultra. Turned off both my Note 10+ and the new phone. Logged into my Sprint account. Clicked activate. Entered the IME number for the new phone, entered the sim card code. Boom. Perfect activation. Turn on both devices, then did the smart switch. Now tweaking preferences.
