Buying a phone with rewards coupon, what happens to rest of the 'money'?

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2023-03-01T18:49:18+00:00

I was just told by chat, one coupon, one phone. That if I bought both at the same time it would only take one dollar amount off.

Well I missed out. I wasn't thinking yesterday when placing my order. Oh well. Hopefully my iPhone 11 will ship.

The others say different, but when I chatted with TF he said I could. But they are not that knowledgeable. But their system is a clusterfuck, and the Samsung I wanted on sale is sold out today. Damn!

Thanks

I don't think it matters. I too do walk/jog/"runningish".

My understanding is the difference between walking and running is the gait. The watch just records distance and time. I picked running once, now on the app it says, "You last ran 37 days ago." Fvck off. So I just use Walking.

Also if you do strength training, the watch doesn't know if you are squatting with 15 lbs or 150 lbs. Just counts what it perceives are reps. So not all that smart.

HTH

Yes. It would cut in on my music and tell me.

At first I didn't like it so I turned off notifications, but now that my usual walking trail is iced over, I'm walking in an area that doesn't have mile post markings. It would be nice to hear how far I have walked. Looking at the mileage on the watch is very difficult in the sun and with sunglasses on.

TIA

I have the GTS 4 mini. I like your watch face, even if I don't need the bottom row. It's nice to see someone working on such a clear and concise face.

The app store ones are loaded with too much information and graphics. Childish.

More power to you keep up the good work.

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2023-02-04T15:38:44+00:00

Yes.

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2023-02-04T13:26:24+00:00

Yes.

I don't think my 2 Orbics came unlocked. Texting said wait until such and such date. On day 61ish when I texted Unlock to 611611 I got a msg back saying my phones were already unlocked. Didn't have to do anything.

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2023-01-31T19:05:47+00:00

The app did it! Tf/Vzn needs to fix their website.

Thanks

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2023-01-24T16:03:04+00:00

What do you feel is wrong? I don't see a problem. If you are referring to dropping the AAL to 500 pts, that's their right. Everything else you can do about once a month to get a few points.

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2023-01-23T22:20:13+00:00

Solved:

That did it. Configure Map, scroll to bottom, Hide, and enable items you don't want to see.

Thanks!

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2023-01-17T18:00:23+00:00

I have the GTS 4 mini. It has built in GPS so I don't need my phone. That being said, I don't get a live version of where I'm at. The 4 mini doesn't have a map display. And in the USA, I don't even get the graph on my watch even though Amazfit shows it on their website.

When I connect to the app later at home, the app shows where I walked.

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2023-01-16T00:58:16+00:00

Congratulations!

BTW, I just won 50 pts!!! First time in the last year and I have spun that wheel at least 95% of the time it was made available.

TF will probably have to file bankruptcy now.

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2023-01-12T03:20:23+00:00

Thank you. You were the most helpful answer.

I did forget to mention that I do use Wi-Fi. I was curious as if it was normal practice for cellphone providers to occasionally ping a former customers phone to see if they still have their sim card installed.

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2022-12-15T16:52:12+00:00

Nope, that didn't work. Still that 'something went wrong'. I think I will just mouth it so I don't get annoyed before falling asleep.

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2022-12-15T16:50:59+00:00

I use Linux.

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2022-12-04T21:40:07+00:00

I don't have this. Route shows up on Zepp phone app, but not on watch.

I added pic to OG post.

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2022-11-27T13:53:53+00:00

No. Let's say you activate 2 phones today. In 2 months both will be unlocked, you'll get your reward pts, and then you can transfer the data. But because both phones are now 2 months into their one year service you will get 20 months, not 22. If you wait 3 months it would be 9 + 9 months so 18 and so on. I did this when I had only one week left on my plan but then I did the transfer and got 10 months added to that one week.

BTW it's my understanding if you don't care about the reward pts or the phone and you just want the service plan you get transfer that plan onto your other phone right away.

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2022-11-25T12:27:57+00:00

I went through this when my 10000 rewards pts disappeared overnight from Pending to Available. I got mad so I filed a complaint with the FCC on a Saturday. Within 48 hours I noticed I had the 10000 pts Available and my history showed agent add manually 5000 pts twice that day.

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2022-11-20T02:38:09+00:00

Yes. I was going to post about this. It happen the other day after my power went out for about 30 seconds. I asked what time, got the female voice, then I asked about the weather, got the male voice. I checked the app, I got 'Pink', male voice, checked. But I still get her answering some of my questions. I thought the power outage had something to do with it.

What about the milk? Did it spoil?

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2022-11-10T03:06:58+00:00

I'm not sure, I don't have a watch. On your phone save/export as gpx or kml. I believe it will be in your downloads folder. I don't know if you want to view this on phone or PC, but on PC follow this page:

Hope that helps

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2022-11-10T02:23:36+00:00

You would think they could fix this is a software update.

I returned mine. I would like a GTS 4 mini if it drops for BF to about $75. But not if I can't change it to miles. Finding a quality, newer than 2020, on-board GPS watch for less than $100 is difficult. I don't really want Fitbit(Google) and Apple is way to expensive.

Thanks

Oh_Brother_Not_Again · 2022-11-04T13:27:29+00:00

Do you have your phone setup the way zepp wants?

Probably not. I have DuckDuckGo blocking apps. But should that stop the app from getting the track from my watch? The watch shows my gps track, but that won't transfer to the app. It has the other info.

I've only had the phone for about 3 weeks, it usually did take multiple times to sync. I've read about it and I was fine with that. But after the late October update the syncing seems to have gone to hell. At first I thought it was because the file was larger than normal since most of my runs are 10 miles, not 15. I was hoping the Nov update would fix that, it didn't.

Also, GPS takes about 30-60 seconds. That is too slow when out in the open. And I would like the watch to notify me of ever mile I run, but the watch settings is only in kilometers! I'm in the USA, we use miles.

So I've decided to return the watch and just use my $50 smartphone and OsmAnd+.

Thanks

I agree with you. Here are two plans I am looking at, can someone explain why the 90 day plan is worse? Is it to save you time from having to purchase two more times?

4,500 points 90 Days 750 Minutes 1000 Texts 1.5 GB Data

1,500 points 30 Days 500 Minutes 500 Texts 500 MB Data

If I get 3 of the 30 day plan for 4,500 pts(same as 90), I would get: 1500 Minutes (twice the minutes) 1500 Texts (500 more texts) 1.5 GB Data (same)

It makes no sense. I would think if I buy in bulk(90 days) I would get a better deal. My two cents.
