i spoke to a business rep as well and he told me that he isn't quite sure but its not a given that you can redeem both. He said he has heard both that you can and thatyou can't...to be sure he actually told me order from samsung so i can add the $99 bundle if i wanted to be sure to get that because business lines MAY only be eligible for the dex station.

it appears that there are 2 separate links to redeem the gifts so it is quite possible you can get both

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] imitor87:
You will have to call. Those of us who are still on the original Jump 1 or Jump 2 plan are under the Lease Plan rather than the EIP, so instead of simply going online and financing the phone over 24 months, we do it under the 18 month lease plan, then at the end of the 18 months you have the option to buy if for the residual amount. Usually $150-200 more. That is why the call in is required in order to keep you under the grandfathered plan. At least that what was explained to me.

Anybody know how long tmo takes to process a shipped returned upgrade one they received it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Cyberguycpt:
A long A$$ times. Lol. I had to call them and they said they didn't have it. Well until I gave them the tracking number and showed them that they had it for over a week.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Biker1:
I just had to use my Tmo insurance last night due to the dreaded vertical pink line on my S7 Edge. I called Tmo last night and the replacement phone is being delivered today.

Since it's a hardware failure, the insurance extends the Samsung one year warranty for as long as you have the insurance, so there is no deductible, and the swap will cost me $5

Even though there is a $175 deductible for other circumstances, when it comes to hardware/software failure, the insurance is worth it imo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] MicroMod777:
So once you called them and showed them that did they fix it on your account right then and there?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] siggystyle:
Oh yes, I totally agree!! Even just for peace of mind on such a pricey device... But in the 10+ years that I have been with Tmo, I have needed replacements for more devices than not, sometimes 2-3 of the same devoce (before each upgrade/JUMP!, whatever the case at the time)... Seriously, I believe that I have only had about 3 devices that didn't require replacing at somepoint (and I have never had a device for more than 18mos-24mos (only because in the old days you had to wait like 22mos before upgrading)... However, of all of those replacements or exchanges for not being satisfied (only a couple of those), I think I paid a deductible about 2 or MAYBE 3times... All other times it fell under the extended warranty as a manufacturer defect or something, so yes, having the insurance (while it does accumulate), is such a relief overall... I don't know what I would do without it (although with my JUMP! - original - it is included in the plan, I think I pay a slight increase for the loss/stolen, water/drop coverage, or whatever it is...

[BTW - What is the pink line thing all about? Currently on the S7E for a couple more weeks myself, but I haven't heard about that yet]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Biker1:
[MENTION=3147818]siggystyle[/MENTION]

Yes, it is strange how these devices seem to fail at around the year anniversary :(

Last time I needed a replacement due to hardware/software failure was last year with my LG G4 due to a never ending bootloop.

I've included a link below:

https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S-Phones/S7-edge-pink-line-down-screen/td-p/11959

regarding the disappearing pink vertical bar, which I found while researching, prior to calling Tmo so I could get a better idea of what the issue was, and communicate the issue to Tmo and avoid what may have been wasted troubleshooting regarding resetting the device, etc.

Originally the rep mentioned she would help me troubleshoot and possibly fix the issue. When she heard me speak about this being a known hardware failure, etc., and she agreed, immediately offering to send me a replacement S7 Edge, after telling me that there is no way to fix the device while troubleshooting because it is a hardware issue.

I thought I just mentioned that to her lol! I probably saved a while lotta time.

Both reps I spoke with were extremely pleasant to speak with and resolved the issue within 15 minutes.

The S7 Edge shipped today, so I'll receive it tomorrow which is fine. The pink line has disappeared for now :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Th3Bill:
Funny you mention how devices don't last very long anymore. I have a Motorola Photon (2011 device) that still runs the last build of Cyanogenmod I released for it what seems like eons ago. Bullet-proof little devices Moto used to make....been kicked, dropped, etc and never had a screen protector/case on it. Screen still PERFECT. Still works perfectly. Only failure is that the usb port came loose, so I have to charge the battery externally.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] jer21:
After taxes the s8+ was about a $200 downpayment. I didn't really want to pay that if I feel like I'm going to JUMP in the next year or so (s9 or Note8) so I went with the regular s8. The s8+ was just a tad too tall for me, but I overall enjoy the size of the screen. An employee took a case out of the box and let me try it on the phone and put it in my pocket. For my lifestyle (go out, travel, hike, go to shows, etc.) I just feel like I would break it lol. Definitely a nice phone though!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] llaugerm:
When they received your device? I have a T-Mobile rep told me that it can take up to 30 days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] MicroMod777:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] siggystyle:
Indeed!! It sounds like you definitely know the routine... Hahaha I try to do the exact same to save the pointless troubleshooting that they ALWAYS try to make you jump through... The only time I ever actially try to work with them on troubleshooting is if I mess up one of the lte/sms/apns type things (which I don't anymore)... Often those answers live in these forums too tho...

I also agree with you about the customer service reps... At least the call-in CSRs... I haven't had an issue with them in forever... They might not be the most knowledgeable (butnyou really have to be the one to know what you should and should not ask them, if you want credible answers IMO)... Anytime I have brought an issue to them regarding my account or needing something, they have always done whatever it took to make sure it was handled and as painless as possuble... Guaranteed that it is why I am still with them, and have not even had a thought of switching...

Haha the classics... Don't get me wrong, some were beasts!! Eho remembers the T-Mobile Wing and HTC HD2??I sti have both of those and the still boot and run... Not the fastest or most appealing experiences, but the nostalgia is awesome... I love those two still... Some of those old Nokias were quite bulletproof too... Although even some of those olfies had their issues too (someof which seemed like they were in a constant state of being returned or being sent to me as replacements.. The newer ones ate indeed more consistent with their optimization falling off after the 1yr mark (always pending the user's "power-level", I believe)... I am VERY hard on them, not abusive or lack of protecting them or anything (they always go back pristine), but I push them to their limits for sure... Numerous resets to try and eliminate the bogging down syndromes, hoping they don't catch something on fire due to hthe heat peeling off of them (not just the Note7,which was actually one I peraonally never had ANY issue with - while I had it)... I wanted to jeep it regardless of the 60% battery (and just carry a battery pack), but when they lainched the Coral Blue S7E, they got me...

Oh well, now time for S8+, then Note8... Tjose are my 2017 planned devices (as of this moment)...

That brings back memories.

I was a part of a pre-market release beta for the HD2. LOVED that phone, for the time it was a beast, but crippled by a dying OS that couldn't properly take advantage of it's abilities.

I installed Android on it as soon as I could, and then a few months later sold it for $700 at the peak of the craze over the things.

Still wish I had it, though.

It's just bs because now that I've been to 2 different T-Mobile stores(one in Philly and one in Jersey) they have the phones in stock but can't release them for sale until Samsung gives them the go. They are available so don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Starting Friday it will be the 2 week countdown.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Nonbiasedhippo:
They actually have stock? Or just demo units? I used to work in an AT&T store a few years back and we never received any phone, especially iPhone/Samsung phones weeks early. iPhones were literally the evening of, or first thing in the morning. Samsung was a little more lenient but only by a day or two.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] siggystyle:
Yup, that bad boy is awesome (just as a tech "artifact" of what it was for the time, like you said)... I thought about selling it, but I was just in awe of how much could be done with it and TO it... At least back then (You still can if you have the ROMs and software to do so (which I do), but it's not lile anyone is still developing for it or anything, so ur options are quite limited... I too threw Android on it, and even had it dual booting the first couple of versions of Windows Phone along side it... It was a dying platform, even when it was released, but as you stated, it was quite powerful and the cistomization was seemingly endless then... It was a sign of things to come for me, and it marked my first jump into, what is now the common smartphone, & Rooting/ROMs... That's prob why I wasn't able to sell it... I am so glad it still works... It's fun to boot up and see what I was doing then (all of the files and pics/apps/etc...) Still in excellent shape with Otterbox Defender and Holster... Good Times...

The display will make the phone stand out more than anything. I personally hate the current colors because the silver/gray sides of the phone are ugly and nothing new.

People have already stated that it probably won't happen again, citing that the Note 7 was held up until launch day .... So since the Note 7 wasn't early I don't think the S8 will be either.

That's what's troubling to me, plunking down $200 for the 8+ knowing that I'll upgrade in about a year.

But the 8+ screen is a perceptible larger screen compared to the S7 Edge. Whether it's worth it to pay $200 for the pleasure is questionable.

Meanwhile I'm getting a replacement S7 Edge for my defective Edge, which is exactly a year old.

Decisions, decisions. From a monetary standpoint, to me it's not worth paying $200 for. Whether I will or not is the question.

I did a jump from a Note 4 to and S7..didnt care for the S7 and returned it keeping my Note4... and while tmo got the S7 back and credited my account as it returned...the Jump! system never did.. it had my Jump! flagged as suspended pending the return of my Note 4...so I count not jump to any phone. And calling in to T-Mobile none of the Reps were able to fix the system...the only solution they could give me was to tell me that I had to pay off my Note 4 or return my Note4 to Tmoble
