T-Mobile Employee discounts?

I was just curious of what discounts and perks the employees receive.
Thanks everyone!

I remember talking to one of the guys at a T-Mobile store a while back and I think he said that you get to buy a phone at the upgrade price every 6 months or something. I don't quite remember though, I may be Wrong.

Word to the wise, don't advertise much you're a tmo employee here or other blog sites, they don't like it, it's how I lost my job (last year, I have a much better one now)
But, since you asked, if you were hired direct to the company (not sine 3rd party wireless affiliate), last I checked, it was 2000 minutes, unlimited text for $10, unlimited data is an extra $5.
You get a 40% discount on the wholesale price of the device of your liking, but only for the first 2 lines. All additional lines are full price. You can have up to 6 lines (last I was there) with the criteria I listed above.
After 2 years, your 3rd and 4th year discount increase to 65%, and 5th year and higher, any device you want is free (but you have to pay outrageous taxes on the hardware)
They're a good company to work for, so long as you're in a position you like, and while they remain around).

Waaah why you all start a thread here, the one at HWZ is pretty much developed already. Well I got mine for $370 for the 16gb one. Had to pay about USD40 for the shipping (that's the cheapest they offered), but it arrived in 4 days

Adding 100, I can get iPad, NEXUS should be half the price of iPad...................................

I Wonder why people complain so much for something that is not marketed in their country of residence yet. the nearest to singapore is australia, have you guys check how much it cost down there? Its always have been the case of supply and demand, never been an entitlement. some people willing to pay more to have early access or some even deem, the local price won't be as attractive as it's imported. if you want to do direct conversion comparison of the price please find a way to buy an US nexus 7 and then find a way to instruct your US nexus 7 fly all the way from US to Singapore for free.
IMHO posting this kind of post makes singaporean sounds like a whiner, or have a blatant ignorance.
not to be a grammar nazy, but so the mod won't close the thread as you wished to maybe you want to re read what you have typed for the thread purpose. and agree HWZ forum is have been heavily populated and have a load of information in it.

that is what problem with people, they are always Ok with things and that is the reason why i(Pads/Phones) dominate Singapore !!!
And for me and many other android lovers there is one ULTIMATE place for androids i.e. XDA !!!

Order from adorama.com, the 16GB version of NEXUS 7 will cost USD 249 (16GB NEXUS 7) + USD 55.70 (shipping) = USD 304.70

Best Deal You've Ever Made

I'm thinking that there are a lot of worthy deals we've ever made in our lives. Like buying HD 5870 for only $30, RMAing stuffs, ripping off Apexi muffler from friend's shop etc. is worth mentioning, isn't it? Sharing any loopholes and best deals are recommendable, but meh, it's up to you anyway.
For me, yup, all those mentioned above. What about you?

I bought my house a few years ago to get in on the first time home buyers credit. I can't remember if it was 7 or 8 K I got from the government, and then I got another 10K from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. So that was a free 17-18K just for buying a house when I did, the only stipulation is that I keep the house for 5yrs and it's already been 3. Later that week I "cash for clunker"ed my Crown Vic and bought a new Pontiac, the gov gave me $3,500 for the Vic and crushed it up. I only gave 3K for it 3 yrs before that, so they gave me $500 to drive it for a few years.
That's 20.5-21.5 thousand dollars I was given by the taxpayers in one week, in an attempt to stimulate the economy. That's called socialism, right? I think it is. Anyways, thanks for the help taxpayers.
EDIT: Do I win the thread?

hahaha. We get paid by other people that we help stick it to the gov, our preparers never break tax law, they just know it well enough to be really helpful. If you know your tax law it's not hard to help people get their maximum refund or significantly reduce the amount they owe. That mean lots and lots of schooling, the laws change so frequently we are never done (re)learning. The owner has been in business 25+ years and is a workoholic that really cares about her clients, and they love her and brag on her for it. We make H&R Block look like a bunch of kids playing "taxes".:good:

And please, let's not turn this into a flame war over the pricing of some of their stuff. I for one would gladly pay 100+ for a Sector 5 version of the case for my Note 2 :victory::victory::victory:

Looks like some awesome design! I don't pay too much attention to price as long as it matches the quality.

I really hope they do, i've been looking for awhile and haven't found one i like

I thought the Eclipse case with the sound redirecting was ingenious but I'm not sure if that added any bulk to the case. Would be cool to have on our N2's as well though :good::fingers-crossed:

They would sell a lot of cases for our phone; people with the best phone, will pay up for top of the line products like this..

I'll be keeping an eye on this but no way in hell I'm going to pay over 100 for a case =O must be made of gold!!!!

I would be game for one of these, regardless of the price is the designs turn out as good as the S3.
Always looking for nice unique cases, ones that aren't at your local mall case vendor.

+1 for element, someone send them a link to this thread.
I paid £500 for my phone, I am not going to baulk at paying $100 for a case, I've got a cheap one at the moment to protect it while I look out for a quality case

Anyone have an update on this? I'd love to have one of their cases. I remember their original iphone cases and they were crazy back then too with a see through magnetic plastic screen cover. Coolest case ever.

I KNEW IT! I knew Apple was in the Android game. Look at them, doing what they do best. Taking everything in the world, and changing 2-3 letters, and making it their 'own'. Oh Apple, you so sneakz.
Inb4 Apple sues THL for making phones that look like other phones and do things other phones already do and then adds those things so their phone can do it too.
They patented copyright and patent-infingement, only Apple can duz that.

Technology Happy Life.
That's priceless. HTC should change their name to that.

I wonder if HTC or Samsung would go after them for these.

Lol, nice find.
The 'thL' logo even resembles that HTC logo from the bootloader.

It's even funnier that you can buy them in bulk for a discounted price. LOL

They're not once you realize that:
A. The CPU is actually terrible
B. The screen is awful despite being 1080p.
C. The software is buggy (even their screenshots have errors in the notification tray!)
D. You get essentially ZERO support from them, and in broken English!

Are all the reviews there shills?
If they aren't then these may not be half bad if you're ok with probably noisy pictures, 3G, a 2000 mAH battery (that's terrible for a 5") and pretty much (at least, I would expect) no support.
As for shipping, I found this
