im pretty sure thats illegal and would borderline be considered stealing and breach of contract in itself. because they give you the phone at a "discount" assuming that you are either signing or renewing contract with them. they can charge it to your account and even if you change the card number they still have the original on file and possibly force it through. worst case scenario they do have your cell number along with address and can still send you a bill. if you refuse to pay it might get sent to collection and be a bigger hassle then its worth.

this dude is out there.They do not have to do anything.I do not care how you got it.It can't be activated and i would be first in line if you could to do it also but it can't happen.The system will not allow it.

Even if the rep wanted to.And as far as a suit you are really out there if you think you got a case at all.

what happens if you try to activate online? my brother has sero and got the samsung google phone. our friend owns a sprint store and said he could hook it up... needless to say when the phone came, he wasn't able to hook it up and he owns the sprint store

all he could do was give my brother a $10 off. a month and change the plan.

You're missing the point. We try to activate it, Sprint refuses. Best Buy sold it to us for $199 with a new contract, and Sprint won't fulfill the deal. We are certainly not signing a new 2 year contract on the Mogul, when we can just stay on month-to-month.

A plan with discounts to match the Best Buy deal, even if it ends after 2 years, would be acceptable. One thing they can't do with my wife is think she'll cave in because she "just has to have this phone". That's one of the benefits of getting older.

Ok..sprint will say best buy is a reseller so deal with them (best case give you 25$ for your inconvenience)

Best Buy will find some terms of service on their site that allows them to cancel any order where there is a mistake in the system.

Plus I think contract only starts when you activate your phone >.>

I have a suit if they won't activate, and then try to charge full price. We will NOT be the ones who aren't trying to activate it, if anything, it will be them refusing. There certainly is a contract with Best Buy here. They may have an issue with Sprint, but they'll resolve that easily. But they won't get the phone back, nor be able to charge full price, if they, and/or who they represent fail to fulfill the deal. And as I said in another post, we'll drop the "SERO" as long as the price matches, even if it ends after the 2 year period (which SERO wouldn't). How does that sound for fairness and compromise?

While I do see what you're saying im about 99% sure you wont be able to get it activated on that plan. If you can, congrats youre the effin man. Typing this on muh evo and this is the first time the keyboard has felt semi laggy. i should probably kill some of the many apps I have open.
