Why do i have to pay $100 more than a new customer for the new 3gs

im 1 yr in to a 2 yr contract on my iphone 3g. when i go to preorder my new 3gs phone the price is $100 more than a new customer. this isnt really a question but a complaint that im afraid niether apple nor att will give a hoot about. how bout some love for customer loyalty?

This has nothing to do with customer loyalty and has everything to do with subsidized phones. You must fulfill your existing contract requirement for an existing subsidized phone before you are eligible for upgrade or the fully subsidized price with a new phone. The same applies with every carrier in regards to subsidized phones. The has been standard policy with every carrier in the U.S. in regards to subsidized phones for the last 10 years plus.

  • Enter more than one personnel number for the same confirmation in CO11N

    More than one labor working on Machine work center simultaneously.
    So that during production orders confirmation in CO11N we need to enter more than one personnel number for the same confirmation but in CO11N the system allow me to enter only one personnel number.
    Note: I can not distinguish between the productions for each labor so that I can not enter separate confirmation for each labor.

  • How do I know if I have the new iPad or the iPad 2. I bought it today but chose not to get the cellular version of the new iPad and now am unsure of which one they have given me. I know I was charged for the new one

    I bought what I think to be the new iPad but chose to go with the non cellular option. Now I'm not sure if they have given me the new iPad or the iPad 2. I got a black 64gb one and need an easy way to determine the differences. I haven't put iOS 6 on it.

    Look at the Model number in the very small text on the back and compare it to this:

  • Please can anyone tell me how to stop my 4s iPhone running down on the battery (despite fitting a brand new battery) and not holding charge for more than half a day - will the new update cure this problem?

    My iPhone 4s will not hold a battery charge longer than half a day even if charged all night. I am now updating to 8.1.3 - does anyone know if this will make any difference?

    Thank you for your help - I had the battery replaced in a phone shop in Bournemouth and think I need to take my phone in and ask them to check the battery but I have to have an operation on Thursday this week and may be a couple of weeks before I get chance to take the phone in - thank you for your helpful advice which I very much appreciate.

  • Why do I have to pay more?

    So I want to buy a Production PRemium CS6.
    It costs 1899$ in the US and almost 2200$ in Russia. And Adobe does not allow me to buy it in the US store for I have registere my account in Russia.
    What the ...? It's digital download, why do I have to pay some "resellers" (can I really call them resellers?) for a link to Adobe servers?
    So generally speaking, Adobe guys, you do understand that if there's a product that costs 300$ less somewhere else people will go and buy there.
    And if it is forbidden to buy there (why pay more), there're always such great resources as demonoid?

    Adobe charges different amounts for their software in different countries. Part of this is due to support costs, infrastructure costs, and taxes in each country. Another part is due to what Adobe thinks the market will bear.  Complaints have raged for years on the different costs for Adobe software in different countries. Adobe has never officially addressed the cost differential in an official response in these forums. If you want to make your feelings known to Adobe corporate, then I would urge you to write at:

  • Verizon's failure, why do I have to pay?

    As a long-time - and still current - customer of Verizon, I'm shocked at how poorly I am being treated. I cancelled my phone in December because my company gave me a phone (also Verizon). At that time I gave Verizon my new mailing address, email, and phone number- which they did not update in their system. So they continued to mail my final bill to my old address, which never made it to me, until now.
    They did not email, they did not call; they instead sent the bill to collections. I called Verizon and paid the outstanding bill, come to find out after the fact that I am also required to pay the fee for collections. They, however, did not tell me this at the time I made my payment (another mistake by Verizon), I was informed by the collection agency that I am required to pay them or my credit report will be negatively affected. Verizon dropped the ball. They did not send the bill to the right address, they did not call, they did not email. The sent it to collections.
    Of course no one at Verizon will work with me, a good customer. I'm waiting for someone's supervisor to call, yet I have little faith that they will give a crap about little ol' me. I just want Verizon to take some accountability for their shortcomings in this situation. Why do I have to pay for their mistake? What more should I have done? This is unfair.

    I verified my information over the phone with a customer service representative when I called to cancel my account. I'm not sure how I could have verified that they properly put this into the system, other than getting verbal confirmation - which I did. They got the new email address correct, I know this because when I called this week to settle my bill, I received a confirmation to the correct email address. However, the mailing address apparently was not updated properly - as per my request - in the system. If you go into MyVerizon under Account Profile, your billing address is listed along with the option to change it. By making changes to your account, you have real time confirmation of the changes. - So you're saying not to trust the customer service representatives? I'm required to make sure they do simple tasks properly? Besides, I was canceling my account - why would I then go online to change my account that I just cancelled - especially since I just verbally gave my new information? Again, the root of this issue that you are not responding to goes back to the fact that the customer service representative did not do as I requested and update my address - which is why I never received notification. Had this been done properly, none of this would have happened.
    I just received a pile of mail from the post office of mail that did not get transferred to my new address - of which included the bill from Verizon and the notification from collections. I had assumed that the lack of correspondence - via mail, email and phone - from Verizon meant that my account was settled. Personally, I don't make it a habit of calling businesses and asking them if I owe them money. I expect them to contact me. Unless you sign up for email notifications from Verizon for you bill, they will not send it via that method. It appears that they DID try to contact you when they sent the bill to your old address. It also appears that you failed to use a FREE service from the US Postal Service which forwards your mail to a new address for up to a year. I have done this in the past, it works and only delays mail for a few days. Plenty of time to get your final bill in time for payment without being overdue. I can understand not contacting businesses to see if you owe them money, but you cancelled service. If I were to cancel service, I would assume that I either owed money or due a refund and would make sure which it was. - I was set up to receive email notifications from Verizon - a service I used for that account for years.  I did have my mail forwarded through the post office, but some was still delivered to the old address anyway and it just made it's way to me now. Verizon's lack of contact with me lead me to believe that either 1)the account was settled, or 2)any remaining balance was transferred to my new account - which I do not see the bill for as my company pays for it.
    Why would Verizon not try to contact me via email or phone? Sending an overdue bill to collections is a big deal - it affects my credit report. Does Verizon care so little about it's customers that they wouldn't even try to contact by email before making such a drastic move?Even if simply to verify the mailing address?This seems to be as much your failing(if not more) as it is Verizon's failing. As you say, it is YOUR credit report, not Verizon's. You have more of a stake in this than they do, why wouldn't you follow up in this matter? Even if simply to verify the mailing address? - Again, going back to the root of this issue - CUSTOMER SERVICE. I should be able to expect that if I tell someone my new address, it will be reflected in the system. I should be able to assume that I would be notified by email for a matter like this, especially since they have my email and have permission to use it and had been using it for years to notify me of bills, why stop now? Why is the buck passed to me to pay this new fee for a mistake that originated with Verizon? Why can't Verizon admit any wrong doing at the root of this issue - where they dropped the ball?

  • Why do i have to pay £25 to end my contract?

    Hiya
    I was wondering if anyone can tell me why i have to pay a £25 administration fee because my contract has come to an end and i dont want to continue it. Of course i am used to BTs hidden fees but i dont think this is fair as i cant see what i am paying for. I agreed to 12months and in that time i have paid over the odds anyway so why should i have to pay more now the contract is up? has anyone else been told they have to pay this?
    thanks

    You agreed to the T&C's when you signed up with BT Broadband, if you had requested a MAC to move to another ISP then there would be no fee.
    Just looked at the T&C's I see they are putting it up to £30 from October, its amazing how much it costs to push a couple of buttons.
    Just to be clear, this charge isn't just BTBroadband, and it involves rather more than just pushing a couple of buttons !
    It's a charge made to all Service Providers, for the cost incurred in physically disconnecting the line from the DSL equipment, so that somebody else can use it.  Openreach don't do these things for nothing !
    If a MAC is used to migrate to another Service Provider, the actual cessation is deferred until the provision of the broadband service through A.N.Other ISP, and is rolled up into the provision cost that's charged to the new ISP - who often doesn't pass this cost on to the customer directly, but it's recouped in the course of the 12/18/24 month minimum term that the new customer agrees to.

  • Why do I have to pay for free aps?

    Why do I have to pay for free ads. I look in my bank
    Statements and says they charge like 3 dollars but the ad
    Says free. This isnt right nor is it fair I already paid 300
    For the itouch why charge me for the free aps. It's not like I
    Don't buy things from the ap store. No I don't not download
    Pro -aps.

    The price of an app, and how it is marketed, is controlled by that app's developer. They certainly may advertise that an app is free, but the App Store price is the only price. If the App Store says the app is free (ie, the download button says "Free" instead of listing a price), then it's free.
    If you are seeing a bill in your bank statement for a free app, that is probably coming from some kind of in-app purchase. Many apps have additional features or special game items that can be purchased within the app. A free app may still have such in-app purchases.
    It's important to note that in-app purchasing should be a very transparent process. It should be made clear that you are making a purchase, and you should have to enter your Apple ID password. If you have found an app that does not make this process transparent, and hides the fact that a purchase with real money is being made, that needs to be reported to Apple as a violation of the App Store rules. If Apple agrees with you, they will remove the app from the store until the developer submits a more compliant update.

  • Why do I have to pay to get help for Itunes?

    First off, why do I have to pay to get help?
    That is absolutely ridiculous when it is someone's JOB to be a "support" for this.
    I've had a reoccuring problem of my music not playing on my IPhone. I fixed it the first time by taking off all the music then re-syncing it and it was all good. This time I am trying to take all of the music off so I can try to do the same thing as before because this is happening yet AGAIN and now my ITunes isn't taking the music off and it is re-syncing it back and it isn't taking the music off in the first place. Why is it doing this? Well I'm basically venting to a community while getting no help from experts. Thank you for nothing Apple.

    Apple provides telephone support for their hardware products at no charge for 90 days after purchase. If you are beyond that period and do not have AppleCare on your device, then you will be charged for the support call. If you don't want to pay, you can either make an appointment at an Apple Store, if you have one in your area, where you will be helped at no charge, or you can post details of the problem here where perhaps we, your fellow users, can assist.
    I'm basically venting to a community while getting no help from experts.
    You're getting no help because you're just venting, and most people here just ignore rants. You haven't posted sufficient details about your issue for anyone to offer much in the way of assistance.
    Posting the same complaint twice does little good, by the way.
