Store charges activation....

Local BestBuy store charging activation but when I click the Bestbuy add online there is no activation.
The local Bestbuy sales help tell me they cannot match Bestbuy online activation pricing.
I do not understand, the BestBuy add I click online is the same in store add?
BTW calling online order help is horrid due to the language barrier.
Questions like temp numbers and 30 day satisfaction guarantee seem to be unheard of.

BoBinDE -
Welcome to the Forums!
I'm sorry to hear about the confusion regarding activation fees, but let me try to help out.
Best Buy, in general, actually does not charge activation fees at all. The carrier themselves (be it AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon or Sprint) do charge activation fees ($35 or $36 depending on the carrier), but they would appear on your first bill from the carrier. The store agents do not have the authority to go in and alter the account to waive these fees
Now, if you opt to ordering the phone online or over the phone with a contract, bear in mind that the orders go through a partner company called Simplexity. They have completely different systems than the stores do. When it comes to the activation fee being waived, the carriers have contracts with Simplexity recognizing that these fees should be waived within certain promotional periods.
Hopefully this helps clarify the issue!

Don't take what I say as being absolute. There's always room for improvement.

    You are NOT addressing Apple here at all.
    We are all itunes users like you.
    There is no phone number to call.
    You let your daughter play with your iphone and continue to buy and you think it is somehow Apples fault?
    You can set the restrictions that will stop anyone from making these purchases.  You have obviously failed to do this.  This is your fault.  Not Apples.

    I preordered the iPhone 6. Can I bring it into my local verizon store for activation?

        adrianC,
    Thanks for clearing up these questions before hand. You just need to ship your device back within 14 days;
    "Edge Up online or by calling Customer Service orders, customer must ship their original Verizon Edge device back within 14 days of receipt of the Edge Up replacement, following the instructions received and, utilizing the shipping label provided by VZW when they complete the Edge Up process with the shipment"
    This should answer it for you! Let us know if you need anything else.

    I'm about to buy a new MacBook Pro. What does the Apple Retail Store charge to migrate my files from the old laptop to the new one?

  • Apple I Tunes store charged my credit card on 9/26/13 $1.99,10/12/13 $1.99,10/27/13 $0.99

    Apple I Tunes store charged my credit card on 9/26/13 $1.99,10/12/13 $1.99,10/27/13 $0.99 & on 10/28/13 $20.00.These charges are unknown to me & definitely not authorized.How can Apple I Tune make all these charges without my knowledge? I need credit back to my credit card.Does Apple automatically
    charge to whatever credit card is on file that was used to purchase the I phone or tablet? I need to talk to a live Apple Support as this whole ordeal is becoming
    so annoying & frustrating & a big waste of my time.It is so vicious for Apple to do this to anybody.

    We are fellow users here on these forums. You haven't purchased anything, including new apps.songs etc or in-app purchases, and you've checked the purchase hostory on your account ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases (the most recent is above the list). When purchases are made they will be charged to your account's balance or to the credit card that you have on your account.
    If you don't recognise the charges and nobody else has access to your account or devices and may have made them, then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption (the contact methods that are available may depend upon the country that you are in)

  • Why after updating my credit card informations itunes store charge me 2 euros?

    iTunes store regularly ask me to change my password. When I change the password ask me to update my credit card informations. Updating informations charging me 2 euros. This happen to Greek store.

    It will be removed from your card by your card issuer, which should happen within a few days (it varies by bank, and with the weekend coming up it might take an extra day or two). If you add the card back onto your account then it will get the same temporary charge again - each time that you add or change your card details the charge will be made as it need to confirm that the card is still valid and active.

  • What do you do when a apps do not download and still the store charges you for the apps?

    I bouth The Old Republic from the Apple store.. they charged me. but the apps didn't download..  What should I do?

    Hi ..
    Check your Applications folder ??
    Try re downloading ...  you won't be charged again.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    If you have anti virus software installed, disable that.
    Try turning off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (Security & Privacy for Lioin v10.7)
