Our son is turning 14 and we thought it would be a good idea to put him on our phone as an additional line. Well, he wanted a smart phone, which we agreed with, and decided to upgrade ours as well.
The two phone upgrades were processed from one location and the new line processed from another. American Express flagged the new line as fraudulently suspicious and declined the purchase. I called Amex and straightened out the issue and thought I dealt with T-Mobile to resend the order purchase however was informed that now it was in back order status. This was on the 29th.
We received the two upgrade phones (Galaxy 5's) which provided us with the opportunity to play with the phones without activating.
They are kind of neat. The clarity of photos is amazing and I'm sure there are other pluses as well.
There are a few things that I don't like. Free apps have banner ads at the bottom including those that flash red. Signing into google or samsung stores won't allow you to log out. There is a app that will log out of google but then goggle will nag you to log in when you open up the phone. The only way to delete the samsung data is to uninstall the app however it is still in the app manager and the log in info is still active. I opted out of gps location but continue to get nag screens to allow google to use my location info. It just doesn't play nice when you don't want to play by their rules.
I guess this is how people who are stalked might feel.
Anyway, I cancelled the order for the third phone, I'm okay with my LG lite flip phone. I also spent three hours on the phone with various departments at T-Mobile to do ordering and working on issues. Interesting the number of call centers they have and where they are located.
