When you a buy a iPhone do you pay $200? or $300 but get $100 back?

     The reason i am asking this is because my father is eligable for a upgrade from sprint while i am not, so i am going to buy the phone with hus number but trasnfer the phone to my line. If apple does have a rebate i wont be allowed to do this. Please help

This mail-in rebate comes from Sprint only, so Sprint is charging their customers $100 more for a subsidized iPhone and force their customers to wait 30 days to send in for a $100 rebate that takes another 6 weeks to be received.
It is a scam alright - Sprint gets to keep $100 in the bank for another 2-3 months for every iPhone sold at the subsidized or discounted price and some customers may forget about the rebate and won't send it in. There is certainly a limit for being able to send in for the rebate - wait too long to send it in and you are out of luck.
You have two choices. Lose the $100 rebate from Sprint, or activate the iPhone with your Dad's line/number for 30 days in order to send in for the rebate. After confirming the rebate has been accepted, take your Dad's existing phone and the iPhone that was activated with Sprint to a Sprint store to switch the activation for the iPhone from your Dad's line/number to your line/number - or maybe this can be done over the phone.

  • When i can buy the iphone 5?

    when i can buy the iphone 5?, is just i want to buy the new iphone 5.... when will be release?
    thanks

    You can buy the iPhone 5 when Apple makes it available for sale. No one knows when this will happen. Anyone who tells you that they know is lying, or deluded.

  • When can i buy unlocked iPhone 6?

    When can i buy unlocked iPhone 6?

    You may buy one shortly after Apple begins selling them.
    There will likely be some publicity surrounding this time.

  • Did you know that Verizonwireless is saving your checking account information when you pay your bill by check and then making it part of your "MyVerizon"? This means of course if they get hacked that information could be compromised. What do you think of

    Did you know that Verizonwireless is saving your checking account information when you pay your bill by check and then making it part of your "MyVerizon"  without you adding it? This means of course if they get hacked that information could be compromised. What do you think of this?

    Credit card and debit card and checking and savings information is encrypted so it is possible to be hacked, but the odds are greater to get hit by the Love Boat then to have a wide scale hack.
    Oh yes they do happen, Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, Target and quite a few others. But in all the years I have paid my invoice with saved card information I never been hacked.
    You use good passwords and the risk is minimal.
    Good Luck

  • Just bought an iMac. Since there is no DVD with the OS in the box, what am I supposed to do if I have a problem? Do I have to pay to  pay to get a copy of Mountain Lion? It's not that pricey but still when you pay such a price shouldn't it be included?

    Do I have to pay to get a copy of Mountain Lion? I know it's not that pricey but still when you pay such a price shouldn't it be included? Considering the fact that people who bought a computer a few months ago without Mountain Lion can download it for free, I think I should have the right to get a free copy too, no?

    If you have a problem and need to reinstall, you don't have to pay.

  • I am dual booting my mackbook pro with windows 7 64 bit. Yesterday it started locking up at the disk drive selections screen, when you hold down the "option" butting when powering on. I have been searching all morning, and so far nothing. Thanks. :)

    Hey folks,
    I have been using bootcamp for months now with windows 7 64 bit, and its been fine, yesterday while I was rebooting to do some gaming, at the hard drive selection screen when you boot holding the "options" butting down, it locks up when I select the windows drive and just sits there for ever. It doesn't throw an error, it boots fine into Lion.
    I searched all morning and didn't find anything, was hoping that someone might have an idea.
    Thanks in advance

    Search again. Microsoft has tips on what to do and Windows has a number of features

    What to do when you pay for an application and it fails to install? I paid for an application, but it fails to install. I have no idea how to contact Nokia (the ovi store is quite bad in this). Also, does anyone have technical suggestions of were to look at to troubleshoot?

    You can contact Nokia using the "Contact us" tab to the top right of this screen. I am sure they will be able to assist you or at least point you in the right direction.

  • HT1688 when you double tap the home button to go back to your other apps are those apps always running and using cellular data even if I am not currently using them?  I thought it froze them and didn't use data other that a select few apps like Facebook,

    when you double tap the home button to go back to your other apps are those apps always running and using cellular data even if I am not currently using them?  I thought it froze them and didn't use data other that a select few apps like Facebook, email, etc.  Also I always select no when I download an app and it wants me to have those push notifications.  Because that would mean that I would have to delete my apps after everytime I just them from that bar and that would be very annoying and just stupid.  Or maybe apps do use data and it's just a big scheme to make everyone go over on their data plans.

  • I could do this before installing Maverick but cannot do it now.It is nice and convenient how Mac OS X Mail displays messages semi-automatically when you just select them. But wouldn't a bigger view of the mailbox be useful sometimes? Yes, and it's easier

    It is nice and convenient how Mac OS X Mail displays messages semi-automatically when you just select them. But wouldn't a bigger view of the mailbox be useful sometimes?
    Yes, and it's easier to get than you maybe think.
    Hide the Preview Pane and Delete Mail Without Opening It in Mac OS X Mail
    To hide the message preview pane in Mac OS X Mail:
    Double-click the bar that separates the message pane from the mailbox pane.
    Now, to delete any email:
    Highlight the message or messages you want to delete.Hold down the Command key while selecting with the mouse to highlight multiple emails and Shift to highlight a range.
    Press Del.
    To get the preview pane back, double-click the same bar again.
    Cannot do this now since installing Maverick

  • What is the name of the tooltips that shows up when you hover over a UIbutton?, such as "back", "foreward", "home" etc

    Okey so basically I've themes my windows 7 into a black state.
    The thing about that is that the default font color firefox uses for tooltips and other information is back so its quite impossible for me to read.
    After a while googleing I found out that something called userChrome.css can be used so naturally I looked furhter.
    I found answers for almost everything I was looking for, except these "button tooltips".
    Heres my userChrome.css code:
    menubar, menu {
    color: black !important;
    menupopup > menu,
    menupopup > menuitem,
    popup > menu,
    popup > menuitem {
    color: white !important;
    tooltip, statusbar {
    color: white !important;
    Basically it takes care of all text that was black and turns it the way I like it.
    So what is the name of the tooltips that shows up when you hover over a UIbutton? such as "back"
    With the correct name I should be able to add
    name {
    color: white !important
    and it should work just fine :)
