No... I already posted about the S7 Edge launch before. Preorders opened on 2/23 and the first phones began shipping on 2/27.

So technically we are "behind" schedule. That being said, I have a hunch they are going to ship tomorrow anyway.

I got the free tablet deal (tab a) with the note 5... The credit is for the tablet.... You have to pay the 10 dollars for the internet.... With is own number where i could text but cant make calls. I was trying to take a screenshot of mytmobile but it seems like the the site is down. With tax i pay about12 dollars a month

Let's freaking hope so man! If we don't get an update & a charge on our credit/debit cards by tomorrow, we prob won't be receiving the devices until nxt wk? My T-Mo info still has a ❓, which I know will not change, so I'm just eagerly awaiting a text & a bank charge...

And by eagerly, I mean twitching out in the corner checking this forum & my bank account while my wife & kids wonder what the heck-a-rello is wrong with me! ?

I can't tell if I have a hunch or a crap load of gas & agita!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I'm still surprised how easy it is for people to believe free is actually free.

Before you could get by with the line for three months or so until the visa pre paid card came with the remainder of of the EIP so then you could pay it off, give it a month to process and sell the phone and actually make money, or gift or whatever.

They got smart and decided to make the device free by way of paying the EIP monthly for you but still require you to have a line.

That's also why I never bought the whole no contracts bs. They took the price of the plans, said they were no contract because they used EIP's for the devices, which if you cancel your plan, the total of the device becomes due. So now they just call a two year plan an EIP.

You may have heard them say, well you can pay off the device early and just pay for the plan you are using, well with two year plans (at least on verizon) the remainder to pay out of a plan was based on the prorated value of the device. So if I cancelled day day one my 600 dollar device would cost 600 (minus a down payment), at 12 months the device would cost 300 bucks. Sounds just like the EIP.

Now what I am leaving out are any early termination additional fees and also the fact that if I had a paid off phone on Verizon I can do month to month but my bill is the same where as paying off the EIP means I only pay for the plan on Tmobile.

In revisiting my order confirmation email I noticed that the shipping speed is listed as "Overnight Overnight - Up to 2 business days (Free)". Is this the same for most? Wondering if it's any different from "standard" or "next day air saver", though the fact it says 2 business days would likely indicate it's the "saver" method.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] msage:
I don't know why they would be prepping a new sim for me? Anytime I've needed a new one in the past it just comes in the box and I activate it. Should be the same type of sim as my s7e so no need for a new one. Also, that action was only taken on my line, yet we also ordered a Note 7 for my wife's line as well. I wish the account history page would pull up so I could take another look because I'm pretty sure it wasn't there anymore when I looked yesterday.

Mine is an upgrade so anytime you upgrade as opposed to a jump or whatever else. they give you a new sim card. I'm coming from an S6 edge plus, im sure they use the same sim card as well but they always include a new one when you upgrade atleast they always did it for me in the past.

Well i just got off the phone with a tmo rep, and i asked her to explain to me again about the free tablet offer. I say "because the rep who placed the order said to me i could use the tablet on wifi only if i wanted to but i see they added a line for the tablet for 10 dollars a month"

So she says to me that the 10 dollars a month for the table will be credited right back. So i asked what about the installment plan i signed online and she put me on a brief hold and she came back she said: "you dont have to pay anything for the tablet because it is free since you purchased a galaxy note7 and you are also set up to receive the 10 dollars credit for the line on the table, so you aren't going to pay for the tablet and you aren't going to pay for the line either"

Exactly what i thought.... How could ppl fall for free.... I knew this would work for me because i needed a line with just internet anyway (thinking of getting an audi 8, durango rt etc etc) these cars have a place where you could put a sim and use your car as a hotspot. As for now my daughter use the tablet to watch youtube, netflix etc and all this is just using the binge on...

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
And all in all it's not bad of a deal at all but when you say free you know the consumer is going to assume they will get something for nothing. If truth in advertising were a thing here then the promo would read Free Tablet when you buy a Galaxy device and sign up for a 2gb Mobile Internet Line.

Not free???

So each Tablet cost $239.99 to which you paid $0... All you had to do was add data to your existing T-mobile plan for $5 per tablet per month to run such tablets on T-mobile network.

Not sure what you have a issue with.... You got 2 Tablets free of charge... You paid nothing for them.

I assume you want T-Mo to give you the Tablets and let you just use them with another network??? Why on earth would they do that???

Don't make more out of something that doesn't need to be made into something.... T-Mo gave you a great deal... Appreciate it.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Traqic:
Not everyone with a tablet needs data as they use it as an additional device in their home or travels, even for work in areas with wifi or for apps. If I spend the majority of my time in wifi and get this "free" tablet, opening a line of data that recoups $240+ ($10 monthly + taxes and fees) over two years is not free netting me a free tablet. I am paying for something that I would not have paid for otherwise under the guise that it is free... but is really a financed tablet.

When dealing with promotions, terms and conditions, and law, I generally tell people to read the fine print and take everything as a literal interpretation. When people fail to do this they end up in 2 year contracts with "free" phones which are just financed phones with little to no upfront costs and they end up with a monthly bill two times what they expected to pay due to the misinformation/miscommunication.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] SBERG117:
I've yet to see any T-mo promo where they give you a device with no line or data added.... I mean that's automatic.... I mean in this day and age of phone buying it's well known to not believe everything the CSR tells you.... Read everything you can before buying....That just saves people alot of hassle.

I don't mean you personally, just generally speaking.

They're telling you upfront what the deal is... Everytime I get a new phone through T-Mo I fully understand what I'm getting into. All the info is right there in front of me to read.

And Yes you did get the tablet for free... You paid nothing for it. If you just want one for Wi-fi then buy one outright and do with it what you want, you have that choice. T-Mo isn't in the business of giving away stuff so you can use it elsewhere. They want you to stay with them and put measures in place to assure that.. You have every opportunity to choose something else.
