Sprint to launch new BOGO offer for Galaxy S II, Galaxy S III and Galaxy Victor

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

• This is a Bogus Deal!!!

  Sprint Customers BEWARE!! This offer is nothing more than a JOKE! The $99 w/ 2 year contract at Best Buy on the Galaxy S III is a better deal, not to mention, they don’t advertise one thing, then change the restrictions once you try to take advantage of the deal! In this Sprint AD, Sprint specifically states you can Buy one Galaxy S III, and get one free as long as you open “A” (singular) New Line of Service w/ 2 year contract, or have “AN” (again singular) eligible upgrade on a current line of service and you re contract for 2 more years. I have been with Sprint for more than 10 years, I have 4 lines of service, and pay my bill son time each and every month. Sprint not only advertises this thru out the web, but they actually mailed to my home several days ago as well. Like anyone out there, I thought this was a worth deal, and it just so happens I do have a line that is eligible for an upgrade! Pretty simple, right? Call Sprint, pay them the $199 and get 2 Galaxy S III’s, right? Well not so fast! I called Sprint, and was told you have to open TWO (2) new lines of service, or have TWO (2) lines eligible for upgrade. Upon my explaining to this “Supervisor” (in the retention dept.) that nowhere in the mailer does it have any fine print disclosing this, and I simply asked why in the hell would you advertise it as BOGO, just to piss people off when they legitamitly try to take advantage of the deal!!! her answer was (and I mean verbatim!!) “do you really think we’d just give out “free” phones”, then I told her about Best Buys everyday deal on the Galaxy S III, ON Sprint lines, of only $99 for the phone with a 2 year contract, and then we were disconnected.

  So, I wouldn’t waste any time heading to the Sprint store, waiting hours in line, just to leave angry, and without 2 new Galaxy S III’s, unless you really want to open two (2) lines of new service with two (2) years of contract on each phone! But even then, I’d recommend heading out to Best Buy, and actually saving a couple bucks for the same deal!

  I’m in noway supporting Best Buy, just proving the facts in Black and White.

  If anyone out there actually got the BOGO without having to open 2 new lines of service, I’d like to know!

  Thanks
