So I decided to bite the bullet and satisfy my impulsive new gadget buying condition. Went on Amazon to buy SGP glas screen protector, hybrid gunmetal case & g watch screen protector then I went on TMO online and decided to place an order. Of course, I get an error message and had to contact online chat. Online agent told me I had to call the business advantage to get a corporate discount so I called them and after being transferred a bunch of times, I'm back to talking to an online agent. Guess what their telling me? If you guessed that I have to call back to a different number then you're correct and please give me the next winning lotto number. Wasted a hr trying to get one simple phone upgrade.

So I finally finished my order and supposedly will get it by Mon or so, I did next day delivery.
[T-Mobile LG G3] EEngineer:
Believe it or not, I never said I have a degree in marketing. Did you read and understand what I wrote?

Don't take this wrong but some of the worst marketing people I have met have degrees in marketing. May I suggest you to study behavioral psychology so that you begin to grasp how customers think.

In my experience I have never witnessed a successful sale based on insult. Your phrase "bunch of crap" is not from any marketing playbook I'm familiar with. It's obvious your intention is not to persuade. Exactly what image are you trying to present of yourself?

Thank you for your mature response. Your professionalism is an inspiration to us all! May I suggest you look at the following reference material:

http://www.amazon.com/Call-Center-Management-Fast-Forward/dp/0985461101/

http://www.amazon.com/The-Marketing-HIGH-GROUND-guidebook/dp/1468054252/

Here is a Cisco paper that discusses how to use personas in call centers:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collaboration/center_agents.html

If you want to make money on the web, may I suggest the following book on personas:

http://www.amazon.com/User-Always-Right-Practical-Creating/dp/0321434536/

Please let me know if I can provide you with any additional information!
[T-Mobile LG G3] sn0warmy:
This is still happening? :laugh:

More babbling about marketing even though it has nothing to do with this situation. Yet, you

STILL

haven't been able to tell any of us what information you received that was more accurate than ours. T-mobile told you, "no phones until the 16th." You were so sure this was the absolute fact because...

Guess what, your information obviously was not "accurate" since we are all receiving our phones before the 16th. You were wrong and it's now blatantly clear that being a member with them for 13 years did not, in fact, entitle you to more accurate information.

Oh, and I can assure you that I am fully capable of making money on the web.

I'm glad you asked...

My paid search campaigns have generated over $3.1 million in revenue over 12 months with a return of 10/1. I'd say I'm doing just fine, thanks.

Arguments aside, I hope you get your phone before the 16th like the rest of us. At the end of the day we are all sharing a common interest here. Have a nice day! :highfive:
[T-Mobile LG G3] npaladin2000:
*gets fire hose ready*.
[T-Mobile LG G3] EEngineer:
The phone clearly came in early. Do you think that's a bad thing?

What do you think about my references about using personas in marketing? Did you read the Cisco information about using personas in call centers, which was my original point?

OH! NOW I SEE the reason for your drama!

You want to spam us with your fictional "get rich quick" schemes!

You are hoping people will PM you to ask about your ficticious "get rich on the web" scheme! How much will you charge people if they go to your website to "learn more"?
[T-Mobile LG G3] sn0warmy:
I feel like I'm trying to communicate with a 12 year old.

Give it a rest already...
[T-Mobile LG G3] twoeleven99:
Lol

LG G3
[T-Mobile LG G3] wase4711:
You know how to add people to your "ignore" list, don't you?
[T-Mobile LG G3] sn0warmy:
Woah, just figured it out. Good call!
[T-Mobile LG G3] witeboy07:
Hope everyone gets their phone today. Really awesome. No issues here so far. I guess that's what happens when you or pre order and become a guinea pig. Loving it every moment. Goodbye galaxy series.
[T-Mobile LG G3] npaladin2000:
Mine just pulled into New Jersey an hour or two ago. Probably on the way to the distribution center in Westchester, where it will sit for 2 days. :(

On the other hand, I have enough sense to have important packages delivered to my office rather than letting it sit at home. I get to play right away. :D
[T-Mobile LG G3] sn0warmy:
If you are willing to risk it, you could go into your UPS tracking and change it to "Hold for will call". Then, if it gets to the distribution center today you could go pick it up tomorrow morning. However, if it doesn't get to the distribution center until tomorrow then you likely won't be able to go pick it up until Monday and it obviously won't show up at your office. So it's risky, but could put the phone in your hands 2 days sooner...

I'm in the same boat. It's nearby but won't be delivered until Monday at my office. I'm just going to wait it out since I've got a wedding to go to out of town this weekend anyway.
[T-Mobile LG G3] npaladin2000:
Since my office is an hour away from my home, and frankly I need to go an hour in the other direction to get my car looked at tomorrow, I think not. :) I'll just have to suffer through until Monday too.
[T-Mobile LG G3] EEngineer:
Pot. Kettle. Black.

Which of us is posting angry? Which of us is being polite?

More to the point - have any of you that got your G3s been able to root it?
[T-Mobile LG G3] KiNG OMaR:
Current root methods do not work on the T-Mobile G3. The fix is being worked on!
[T-Mobile LG G3] EEngineer:
Thanks - that's what I was afraid of which is why I didn't pre-order regardless of delivery date. I don't want a phone I can't root.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Slash8915:
Same. I need root for my Appradio, so it's definitely a requirement for me.
[T-Mobile LG G3] KiNG OMaR:
Root is coming lol. I'd be surprised if we didn't have root by next week
[T-Mobile LG G3] Slash8915:
I hope so. But I've heard it took 6 months to root the G-flex. There's no way I could go that long without it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] RMXO:
I hope so because it would be boring if I didnt have root on my phone but totally understand these things take time and this is what i get for not being able to resist in getting one so early.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Gqsanders:
Pre ordered mine on the 10th and got it the 11th ??
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevew84:
Did mine yesterday super early and paid for Saturday shipping. Still no emails or tracking...did you get anything from T-Mobile before you got the phone?
[T-Mobile LG G3] witeboy07:
Nope. I just checked my bank for a charge and that same day it got shipped. Got it the next day. 2 days later I got late info from tmobile.
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevew84:
So stupid that things work this way, I paid for Saturday delivery. I hope UPS isn't done for the day, it's 4:30 my time.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Gqsanders:
Around the time i received my tracking information my phone was out for delivery
[T-Mobile LG G3] _Infamous_:
Yea six months because the flex wasn't a very popular phone
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevew84:
Aren't you a lucky one, they dropped the ball on my Saturday delivery. It's 6pm still nothing
[T-Mobile LG G3] jcolmar:
It shows my order is on backorder for the black one and I ordered my on the 8th
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevew84:
Mine shows nothing yet.
[T-Mobile LG G3] EEngineer:
We should all now be surprised... :eek:
[T-Mobile LG G3] KiNG OMaR:

[T-Mobile LG G3] catatonix:
Use T-mobile G3 with AT&T

When will the G3 be available in t-mobile stores. I have the AT&T version and I'm returning it tomorrow to get the t-mobile version. I plan on unlocking sim and using it with my AT&T account. I've heard some bad things about t-mobiles reception quality. All this so I can get the unlocked bootloader. Is it still confirmed the t-mobile version comes with the bootloader unlocked??
[T-Mobile LG G3] sn0warmy:
The T-Mobile version is unlocked. This is 100% confirmed. Reception quality is great on the T-Mobile network. Not sure about how it will work on AT&T. It is also currently available in T-Mobile stores. You should be able to walk in and buy one. Reception
[T-Mobile LG G3] EEngineer:
But is the T-Mobile version rooted yet?
[T-Mobile LG G3] tinystat:
http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/root-twrp-root-twrp-tmo-lg-g3-t2821005
[T-Mobile LG G3] sn0warmy:
Yep! It got rooted late Friday night. If you were waiting to get the phone until root was available you're good to go now.
[T-Mobile LG G3] wideasleep1:
I'd also advise you to sign up for the prepaid $30 plan for month and try T Mobile for yourself, before assuming coverage sucks. It indeed may still suck..but it will save you big time bucks over ATT or VZW if you get good results at home and work.
[T-Mobile LG G3] johndoe411:
Does T-Mobile allow one to buy this phone without any service plan? I am trying to buy this phone at t-mobile.com and it keeps forcing me to add a voice/data plan. There's no option to simply just buy the phone by itself.
[T-Mobile LG G3] wideasleep1:
Are you using an existing TMO SIM or going mvno or competition? A store might allow outright if you simply want to swap in a SIM.
[T-Mobile LG G3] npaladin2000:
Actually, if you have good WiFi/Internet at home, who cares? Just use the WiFi calling there. Maybe at work too.

The point is, take the SIM with the thing (if you order online you pretty much have to get a SIM anyway) and drive around with the thing, see if you get workable signal where you need it. And don't forget about being able to use WiFi calling as a supplement (just remember that you can't hand-off a call between WiFi and cellular, it'll drop pretty much all of the time).
[T-Mobile LG G3] johndoe411:
I already have a TMO SIM ($30 walmart plan), so I just need the phone. Also, the online ordering system forces a $10 SIM Starter Kit which I don't need.
[T-Mobile LG G3] EEngineer:
It probably depends on the area. When I'm in Boston MA USA area my reception is spotty, but in NY NY and Dallas TX my T-Mobile reception is fantastic.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
I moved to tmobile for two reasons

1. Escape the evil empire (verizon)

2. Wifi calling! Even with verizon i found a s#!@ load of dead areas but with open wifi around.

So I have unlimited everything and the ability to make a call even if i have no signal for about the same price I call that a win. Then after the phones are paid off it will be much cheaper that should be a win in anyones eyes.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Aegyo:
good job LG/T-Mobile @ $600
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
I was never saying that a 2/32 model would be exclusive, that would be a ridiculous exclusive. I suggested that maybe it was the giveaway, I don't have Sprint, I don't pay attention to their website so I didn't know they were doing giveaways as well.
[T-Mobile LG G3] IXChicharitoXI:
Pics aren't working.... But I just got an email from Tmobile saying the g3 is eligible for monthly plans. $24.95 per month. I guess they were still sorting out the page.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ekerbuddyeker:
Is there a way to buy it full price without a plan?
[T-Mobile LG G3] 00dahc:
It shows right on the pre-order page

"+ $24.95/mo. x 24 mos. If you cancel wireless service, remaining balance on phone becomes due. Total $598.80. 0% APR, O.A.C. for well-qualified buyers"
[T-Mobile LG G3] Aegyo:
Yeah, just pay the full amount when it's released. But I'm not sure it applies to pre-orders.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
They must have just fixed it. I have excellent credit, and the checkout price was still 608.00. Rep said thats the pre order price and when it goes live, they will add the installments.

Edit:

Just tried and still say this -
[T-Mobile LG G3] Knucklessg1:
Any word yet on if this has a locked boot loader like the T-Mobile Xperia Z/Z1S which cannot be unlocked. I want to get the G3, but not without the ability to flash Custom ROMs
[T-Mobile LG G3] 00dahc:
Stuff.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
I don't think they are going to make a locked bootloader just for T-Mobile. Sony was a bit different as that phone was a T-Mobile exclusive, wasn't it? This phone will be on all 4 carriers.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
That's all well and good, but you can't check out without paying full price for it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Knucklessg1:
Sony permanently locked their boot loaders on all their carrier versions. Not just T-Mobile
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
This is what I see on the pre order page, by the way.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Pheno.menon:
Anyone know if we can preorder in store with monthly payments?
[T-Mobile LG G3] bobbarker2:
Each carrier has their own spec requirements when it comes to software. TMo/Sprint are generally easier to unlock the bootloader, AT&T/VZW are usually locked down tight. So yes, LG tailors each variant to the carriers requirement.
[T-Mobile LG G3] xgman:
still says Memory

2GB RAM, 32GB ROM (user memory)
[T-Mobile LG G3] 00dahc:
I have a ticket in for the spec page to get updated.
[T-Mobile LG G3] JesseMT4G:
I am gonna wait till after it hits stores. Rather test it out and read more reviews.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ekerbuddyeker:
Is tax added to the 598?
[T-Mobile LG G3] 00dahc:
Of course it is.

It's going to be $666 after tax, for me.
[T-Mobile LG G3] spridell:
I pre-ordered this morning and was able to do it paying full price.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Slash8915:
Unfortunately, I can't preorder it. I want to trade in my GS4 and use the ETF reimbursement card they gave me to partially pay for it, If they offered some kind of extra goodie for the pre-order, I would find a way to make it work, though.
[T-Mobile LG G3] spridell:
I was able to this morning.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
I guess they fixed it. Its full price if you want to pre order now. T-Mobile rep confirmed that when it releases on the 17th, it will be available for installments. Right now the site says the phone isn't eligible for installments.
[T-Mobile LG G3] hello00:
666 is the devil's number..if i were u i would return it or u will end up having a defected phone :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] 00dahc:
I should inform T-mobile of this and see if I can get a free SIM card to drop the price to $656.
[T-Mobile LG G3] hello00:
they should give u a free sim card..i was never charged for a new one when i bought the m8
[T-Mobile LG G3] IXChicharitoXI:
Say the 666 offends you and you want the price reduced for religious reasons. I wonder if T-Mobile would submit to your demands.
[T-Mobile LG G3] 00dahc:
There is no "Give me a free SIM" option. :)

Only $10 requirement for new lines.
[T-Mobile LG G3] aka757:
For anyone that preordered this morning and paid full price, are you able to check the status of your order on the T-Mobile website? When I try to check the status, it just gives me an error saying its not a valid order number (and I'm clicking the link straight from my email).
[T-Mobile LG G3] spridell:
Getting same error message.
[T-Mobile LG G3] aaronc_98:
No wireless charging ???

[T-Mobile LG G3] NewMan4Life2010:
Do anyone know if I buy this phone and do not activated the service. Will I be able to get a refund back for the plan?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Mele:
Straight from T-mobile:

When you get the phone call 800-672-5390 and tell them you want to do a post paid to a prepaid conversion:
[T-Mobile LG G3] Aegyo:
no.... why don't you just go into a store or wait until it's released online and buy it for full price?
[T-Mobile LG G3] NewMan4Life2010:
I would have to go to and other city and state just to go to a store.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Starzboy77:
So wait, I have Sprint now. Will be switching over to Tmobile. Can I preorder and pay for the cost over 24 months or does it charge you up front? I also need to add my Girlfriends line and carry over the phone numbers.
[T-Mobile LG G3] IXChicharitoXI:
Switch when the phone is released. It seems you can only pre order by paying up front. I'm sure when it's released in stores (16th?) you can do the 24 months plan.

Not sure about carrying your gf line over. Someone else could assist you there or just ask in a store.
[T-Mobile LG G3] NewMan4Life2010:
Do anyone think this phone will come out with a google play edition?
[T-Mobile LG G3] fbihawk:
Depends. If the next nexus is based off of this (like nexus 5/G2) then no. If it isn't, I'd say chances are good.
[T-Mobile LG G3] aka757:
Finally got an email saying that its backordered. Link to check the order in the new email doesn't work either though lol. I would think that it would at least show the order and show the status as backordered, but we'll see. I'll give T-Mobile a call after work today and ask them about it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Dog_Daze:
Just FYI:

T-Mobile has updated the pre-order website to correct the phone stats (3GB/32GB) and to allow purchase on monthly installments. (just ordered mine)
[T-Mobile LG G3] witeboy07:
Thanks for the update guys. Ordered mines this morning. Hope when I get home from Florida Vacation my phone will be waiting. It was with payments. Not full price.
[T-Mobile LG G3] biggiestuff:
For those on the old 70 dollar unlimited data plan, does it look like it's forcing you to the 80 dollar unlimited plan when you try to pre-order?
[T-Mobile LG G3] GeekBoi:
It happens to me too. My current plan is Preferred Phone First Unlimited Web Only ($5). Nexus 4 works fine on that plan.

Is there another way to get LG G3 without changing my current plan?
[T-Mobile LG G3] AngryDinosaur:
what if people buy it and they release a SD805 version along with other prime version phones for christmas

i would flip table
[T-Mobile LG G3] Dog_Daze:
I'd sell the one I got and buy myself a nice Christmas present! :victory:

Love to have that problem but doubt an 805 version migrates out of Korea
[T-Mobile LG G3] 20degrees:
I'll jump. There isn't even 2 phones a year that come out nowadays anyways that's worth it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] hello00:
that version is only korean exclusive
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
They fixed it so you can order on the installment plan now. I just ordered mine, says expected delivery 7/9/14, I know that's off, though, they did bill me.
[T-Mobile LG G3] _Infamous_:
I want this phone but there is to much up and down on this phone not sure if I still want it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] djkinetic:
anyone know if tmobile will care that my S5 is knox voided from root...looking to possibly use my jump upgrade on the G3 and give them back my S5
[T-Mobile LG G3] wase4711:
I think alot of that depends on the store you go to;

If you bought yours at a store, and know anyone there, I doubt they will really care, since they ship those phones right out to their wholesaler.

You could also unroot via SuperSu, and that way, on the surface, it wont appear that you were ever rooted.

I've "exchanged" a couple of phones for replacements with TMO, and both were rooted.One time in the store, and one time via online customer service.

Had zero issues doing both of the exchanges

Good luck!
[T-Mobile LG G3] IXChicharitoXI:
I don't think they even check for root. They just make sure it's not damaged and it can boot on. Just charge it, factory reset, and hand it in.
[T-Mobile LG G3] jimmydee62:
Well the funny thing is Samsung galaxy s5 had a locked boot loader on Verizon and ATT but not on T-Mobile so it can go either way.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mingkee:
It's same situation as Note 3.
[T-Mobile LG G3] jimmydee62:
I was having trouble on the site doing the pre-order so I called T-Mobile and the rep. said she would walk me through it n e site. So it ilikel you can't do it in the store.

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

Mine came to $669.03 to be exact.

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

You won't be able to check status until they ship it which I talked to T-Mobile and they said that there system shows 7/15/2014 but also told maybe sooner.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Actionx1:
Does the JUMP program only working by walking in the retail store or can you do it online somehow?
[T-Mobile LG G3] sn0warmy:
Has anyone received any update as to when we can expect the phones to ship/arrive? I pre-ordered this yesterday knowing it might be a while but of course I'm now already getting antsy as I read more and more about the phone. :silly:
[T-Mobile LG G3] hello00:
how much did they charge u upon checkout
[T-Mobile LG G3] sn0warmy:
Since I opted to pay monthly for it I just paid the $51 in taxes. I'll get my first monthly charge of $24.99 for the phone on my next bill.
[T-Mobile LG G3] djkinetic:
Samsung doesnt usually lock their flagships unless its a carrier request, LG locks all their flagships regardless of carrier, the G2 was locked, the Flex was locked, even the Korean version LGs are locked BL. You can hope for an unlocked one, but 99.9999 % it won't be just like their past several flagships.
[T-Mobile LG G3] hello00:
yeah 0 down payment..i usually put $250 or $300 or whatever they tell me as a down payment and my monthly charge is $9.99 or $15..depends how much is the down payment
[T-Mobile LG G3] agentscuba314:
Easy way of knowing when your phone is about to ship is to watch your card that you paid for your phone with. When the charge hits your account you know your phone is pretty close to shipping. It usually ships later that day or the following morning. I've done a couple preorders and that's the fastest way to tell. I work for tmo also, the info that's in the system about shipping is pretty scarce. I will post if I find out anything else new
[T-Mobile LG G3] winmx1:
Just per-ordered mine! Can't wait for it to come in!!!
[T-Mobile LG G3] sn0warmy:
That's a great idea. I didn't think about that. I have a buyer lined up for my Nexus 5 + accessories for $300. I should look to see if I can put that $300 down on the phone. But I'm not sure if it's too late since the phone was already ordered.
[T-Mobile LG G3] agentscuba314:
Ok, so I did check some info, from what the order system is saying, the preorders will ship within 7-10 days from the order date
[T-Mobile LG G3] rjscott2005:
I'm guessing the phones will ship after the official release date of July 15th. Hence the term pre-order. No?
[T-Mobile LG G3] npaladin2000:
It would be better if they were shipped for ARRIVAL on the 15th. After all, the stores will probably have them on the 15th, right?
[T-Mobile LG G3] rjscott2005:
Good point. I guess we'll know soon enough (or not soon enough). I just received my Jump order confirmation and I went to myt-mobile to check status. This is what it shows:

Order history

Order Placed 07/03/2014 at 10:43:16 AM

Delivery method

UPS Expedited Next Day

Estimated delivery : 07/04/2014

I highly doubt that this is accurate. My feeling is that the automated system merely adds x days to the order date and doesn't take into account the actual availability of the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G3] aka757:
That would certainly be better for us, but in my experience that's not always the case. I preordered the Note 3, and the they began to ship preorders the day the phone was released in stores. So the people who went to stores the first day got it before the people who preordered . Obviously could be different, but that's just my experience.
[T-Mobile LG G3] budco2000:
After owning almost all Galaxy S devices and all 3 notes I got burned out on Samsung and decided to try something else. So I just ordered my G3 from T-Mobile. There was a typo on the website and I called and talked to a supervisor, His exact words were T-mobiles version is the 32 gig version with 3 gig of ram. Now it's just a waiting game.
[T-Mobile LG G3] agentscuba314:
When I preordered my G2, I got it a week before it came out, which sucked because I couldn't find any cases or screen protectors. I do know that the S5's shipped before the official launch date or shipped in time that you would get it launch date
[T-Mobile LG G3] npaladin2000:
Yeah, THAT isn't an issue for us at least, Skinomi and several others have screen protectors available already. I ordered one, plus an S-line TPU kickstand case, so I'm prepared. :cool:
