Verizon Imposing Vacation Blackouts September 21-30 in Line with iPhone Launch Claims

[rendevouspoo]

Sold my 4S today, headed to the AT&T store to get a new phone for 30 days just to return it. Prolly get the GS3 just so I can say I have used and android but it will be going right back.

You use the SG3 and I promise you won't be going back. That is, unless you aren't blinded by the fbism

do you think the carriers actually have info?

i think they just listen to rumors as well.

I work at best buy and no one from our mobile department knows anything until apple says so.

The carriers certainly know what devices are coming to their networks and when. You can't put a device on their network without passing carrier trials first.

Now, a single store won't know what is happening during a vacation blackout in terms of details, just that something is.

When will we see more information on iMac release dates... They should b around the same dates I hope?!?

We just don't know. As has been discussed, the iMac may not be refreshed until 2013, or it may even be EOLed. We can only speculate.

^^How much you have to pay for the new phone and I didnt know you can return it and be like I'll take the iphone 5 instead.

Hell yeah you can! AT&T gives you 30 days . Sprint gives you 14days. Every year I get an iPhone on launch date and then I return it on the 30th day. I then go to Walmart and buy it there for a lower price.

meanwhile, Apple is laying off.

They are not laying off. Some idiots don't understand that all companies try to manage the shifts depending on customer flow. Someone messed up and believe they were laying off. All they were doing was managing and reconfiguring the hours.

Bring it on dude

For how much ?

I sold my iPhone 4s 16g AT&T for $300 on nextworth.com

got $425 for it (craigslist/local sale). Not bad considering it had couple of blemishes on the sides. Im still under contract so it will help bear the extra non-upgrade cost.

Sweet. Now I can swap my kid's upgrade to my line, and give her my 4s. One month and counting!

Share Everything plan, here I come. Please don't be a turd.

You realize the share everything plan is an option and you are spending a lot more money! I currently have 4 lines. Two iPhones and two regular phones. Unlimited texting and mobile to any mobile . All for $160 a month! On the share data plan I would be paying $250 or above !

As if we needed another sign that it is coming.

As if we needed another stupid cartoon.

OK Apple, release the phone already, let's get this over with.

I'm already wondering if it will be _FOUR_ years in a row that the same basic design continues to be peddled.

----------

I currently have 4 lines.

Fantastic!

A fellow multi-line, multiple phone enthusiast.

I'm so glad you're here, I've been a multi-phone addict for years, now there's one more of us.

My current crop for fun & variety are:

- iPhone 4S
- Galaxy S III
- HTC One X
- Galaxy Nexus

All current models.

Sold my iPhone 4S 16 GB for $400, So i went ahead and got the new galaxy s3 for 199$ they said i could return it within 30 days with a $35 restocking fee. No bother. Didn't have another phone i could use.

Umm, Not sure why Verizon customers are excited

I bought my Vzw iPhone 4 in February the very first day it came out. I am not eligible for upgrade (without paying full freight) until October 7. So unless VZW allows you to upgrade early (which my account isn't showing) or you pay the full $649 for the phone, you can't get it until October anyway.
