called sprint today reguarding why they are charging me on my paper bill for an additional $13.73 for overnight accy, apparently they took that money i paid for the battery and placed it towards my bill in august instead of for the battery, so now im being charged again for $13.73, thieving bastards:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pirated Android:
Called them up today, the guy was helpful and told me that the offer was there for my phone, mailed it to me and all i paid was shipping on my card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coldblooded79:
Hellz yeah!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ascertion:
Weird. I recall reading the specs list shortly after the gnex came out. The Site i read it from must've been incorrect. My bad then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
The gsm comes with a 1750
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcm1979:
Awesome, thanks for the heads up. I just ordered my Gnex today.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bfitz26:
Still think it sucks we have to pay for shipping after we didn't make a phone with horrible battery life ohh and how much bigger does it make the phone does it come with a cover that will fit the battery??

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
It's not much bigger and probably comes with a cover. Also, who cares about shipping? They don't "have" to offer them free. I'll take paying just the shipping.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shibby80:
i did a chat session earlier and was told they are not giving away batteries. i guess i will just call in the morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alex1123:
i called a sprint store and called telasales they both said to order online or to call in to get it, however i cannont even find it on sprints site lol.so ill be giving them a call in the morning and be getting mine :D cant wait haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Duce HD2:
I just got off the phone with sprint, for once the guy was really nice and actually searched for the info because he had already heard about it. He said that it is 100% TRUE, the number to call tomorrow is the "telesales" one already mentioned in the OP's article, which is the same as the sprint guy gave me on the phone right here: 8668667509. Should be a 50$ value, all we pay is the shipping fee, should come with cover as well.

I'm calling. :):)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alex1123:
shouldnt it be on this page tomorrow http://shop2.sprint.com/en/promotions/index.shtml?INTNAV=ATG:HE:Promo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malicenfz:
Hopefully there are some still available when I get my Nexus like on Tuesday
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iSaint:
Its legit I called earlier she put notes on my account said just call back tomorrow :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alex1123:
Youll love the nexus and im assuming they would have a large amount of batteries ready and if not that theyll probably give some people a second chance to get one, hopefully
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
Just called and was told it's $12 shipping and only applies if you're upgrading to the Nexus or adding a new line with one. Please let me know if anyone gets something different, this day if they're trying to jip me I can call them out on it and get my extended battery. Thanks.

I just ordered mine online here: http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onli...AccessoriesOnlyCategories?PHONE_ID=SPHL700KIT

It cost $6.50 after shipping. I wonder if I can buy another..?

EDIT: I did buy another. I don't see that there's any limitations to this offer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrjeff2:
Probably best to not get too greedy as others will want a chance at the batt. I logged into my account and the offer was advertised. Sero/EPRP users will have to purchase through the Sero/EPRP website if there experience is anything like mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayshocka:
I stand corrected

Pocket posted sorry....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shibby80:
It won't let me do its trying to get me to add a line
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malibu_23:
Same here. Asks for zip code then shows me phones. I can't even get to the battery outside of the link posted
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanAdamKOF:
This site? http://delivery.sprint.com/m/p/nxt/epc/epclanding.asp

How do you log in to this website? It's asking me for a Sprint email and CID which I definitely don't have, as I signed up for SERO in 2007...

When I use the link on the previous page (http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onli...AccessoriesOnlyCategories?PHONE_ID=SPHL700KIT ) it asks me for a zip code then asks me to upgrade my handset, regardless of if I'm logged in or not.

I did not notice that before.

I'm getting the same thing as well...hope sprint is not trying to pull a quick one...:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atistang:
I'm getting the same run around on their website. Tel sales opens in about an hour so I'll try and get it through them.

Looks like it does come with a new battery door that just says samsung

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

on the phone now, they keep trying to give me the run around saying i need to buy the phone to get the battery for free

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

ok got it finally, but i did have to argue with them a bit

they kept telling me that the promotion was for people buying a new GN not for people who already purchased their GN

so what i did was read them the message i had in my sprint.

basically i emphasized what i put in bold and told them that i felt the message was misleading. after the rep talked to her supervisor a few times she put the order through an i just had to pay the $14.06 for shipping and tax on the msrp of the battery

good luck

What's the number to TEL Sales?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yeahthatsme:
1.866.866.7509

---------- Post added at 07:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 AM ----------

Same thing happened to me, I gave up and called telesales and it worked. They are on 1.866.866.7509.

You have to pay for shipping $12.95 with delivery Thursday. Not a bad deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melo1819:
Just called, lady was super nice. Came out to $14. something. Wooo. Great deal. Thank you Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devandavis:
I had the same problem with the website- add item to cart, enter promo code, prompted for zip code, kicked out. Called telesales and sat through the spiel about a new line of service (I have 3 already) but ended up with an order placed a little over $14. No hassle about needing to buy the phone to get the battery, but he did ask when I bought the phone (less than 20 days ago).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommy0823:
Same thing here. A little over $14 to ship a two ounce battery and back cover. Much better than 49.99 plus shipping tho. Thanks Sprint!

I had to call twice....I got the bull**** one the first time telling me that it only applies to customers buying a new nexus today or adding a new line, would not budge! She was a total ***** too, started asking me how long I had my Nexus, how much I paid for it, etc lol She even checked with her supervisor.... so I hung up and called back. The second lady was an angel, no questions asked, $12.95, 2-5 business days. Great deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommy0823:
Lol. Its the wife's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alex1123:
Just call them guys but the total for me was $14.90 i think and 16 minutes of my life -_-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MichaelMcEntire:
I was told it was a mistake and only for new lines.

Yeah, just call again, it's legit. Unfortunately I ran into the same thing, you'll eventually find the one that knows what they're talking about.

I had no issues with doing this me and my cousin which is next door. I called ordered mine, went next door talked to someone better. he is getting 4 batteries!!

I got the same thing. Online promo code "BATTERY1" only works with a phone purchase. Called and was today that it's only for existing customers who purchase the GNex after Aug 3rd. I guess I'll try to call again.

Edit: Just called back And the lady placed the order no questions asked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] indagroove:
Since batteries only last about a year I don't think getting two is greedy.

I'm a sero customer too, and just ordered it on the regular site where I posted the link. Never even had to log in to my account to get them.

Asked for 2 and got 2 for $13
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevilStrider:
Can you bill the shipping to your account?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
They told me they no longer have carrier billing for anything, even app purchases. They also will NOT let me get one of these batteries. Everyone I have talked to says add a new line or it's not happening. Most likely more of an issue with me being a single line. Guess they don't feel like they're making anything off me. What sucks is I only upgraded three weeks ago...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicholishen:
Login to your sprint account. In your messages, you should have an email from sprint about the promo. The telesales people are lazy and don't know about the promo. Reference the email and they can't deny you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] genericmessage:
Sadly no. Account billing was removed as an option back in October

Also, got mine. Easy enough.

A little under $15 for the battery and door is a small price.

Just wish I could've done it online. Too bad its only for new or upgrades
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrjeff2:
Hey all -

I'm just wondering what everyone shipment status is saying? Mine went from processing in Warehouse to "The order has been submitted and requires manual processing. If there is an issue processing the order we will contact you."

Is this showing the same for others? I ordered mine online but had to voice confirm it once so that is why I am wondering. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
Doesn't matter. I won't have a check card till at least next week anyway so I'm screwed for this deal. Tried for carrier billing since I'm paying my bill the end of this week but that's out too. This f'in sucks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] belvedere:
Well, I think I have two extended batteries on the way. I had a message in my inbox on the Sprint website; however, when applying the code online it would kick me out like I was a new customer looking for a new phone. Seemed my only choice was to call and since it's late I got connected to someone in India, or wherever. I could actually understand the guy just fine but the connection was all static-y. When confirming the mailing address it was all wrong so had to go real slow to make sure it was correct. I got a confirmation # but literally had no idea what the first few letters were. In the end if nothing comes I'll just complain to Sprint and hopefully get something better :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mled203:
So after multiple attempts I gave up, but a lady just called me saying she had the wrong information and I got my battery for free!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alex1123:

The $14 for shipping was charged to my bank account already, so pretty sure that means the information was correctly taken. Plus I don't think a confirmation number would have been given if the charge didn't go through in the first place. We'll definitely find out by Wed/Thurs, lol.
