Well this can be because:

1. You must not be trying very hard as I don't even see you having a thread on RS.

2. You wouldn't be having such a hard time if you were selling it for a good price.

3. Keep in mind that not all that many people have micro sims they can just pop in.

1. You're completely right. I'm not trying very hard. I only posted ads on Craigslist and Kijiji. I'll post a thread on RS tonight.

2. You're probably right here too. I'm selling mine for $300 right now and will probably lower it to $275 after Friday.

3. I have an activated Virgin micro sim and a deactivated Rogers micro sim. Hopefully that would be enough.


Thanks for your help. I originally wanted it gone by the end of the week, but I guess I'd have to sell it for $275 or even a lot less in order for that to happen.

I had issues as well. First few days I was getting lowballed like crazy on CL. Unfortunately after I sold to a coworker, I got a few bites on RS. It really is a good idea to post here.

Weird, I sold mine the next day right after we switched over to Virgin. I listed for $325, but was offer $300. It may take a bit of luck if someone happens to want N4. You should post a picture of the new N4 even if they are in a box. Picture gets more clicks.

Re-check the detailed PDF file bill statement.

Do you have a $150 tab or $300?

$300 tab

Date Payback % Virgin Mobile SuperTab Contribution Details Virgin Mobile SuperTab Balance
August 5, 2013 10% 3.16 Neg. SuperTab Bal. Update -296.84

I thought you were on the $150 tab, so I figured that was the reason you're getting charged more.

But really odd that you got charged more...when we're on the same tab lol

Ahhh just called them
The rep said that it's cause I'm getting billed for 3 extra days since the bill date is on the 2nd but I signed up for it on July 29. Then he said that the bill would be something like $34-$35 for the rest of my bills. So I'm happy. I do wonder why you didn't get the extra fee too, but I'll assume you signed up for the plan earlier than I did. Thanks for your help

Hi I signed up for this deal and didnt get the credit and in order to get it I need to find one other person who already has it. I wanted to ask if you go this promo plan and if you have a photo of the plan from best buy. It would really help me a lot if you did and I would very much appreciate it.

I'll try and find the promo number (the guy wrote it on my plan receipt because I didn't get the credit originally).

What happened to me was they didn't apply it every month, so they gave me $120 for the first year. I have yet to receive the second $120, and have actually paid BB Mobile 3 visits since September to remedy it. Guess what I'm doing this evening.

Aside from this debacle, I'm quite happy with the plan and service. If only I can get my credit, I can pay my tab and upgrade my phone.

Btw- if you just go to metro, they'll know what you're talking about.

wtf got my bill today and my $10 discount each month wasn't included.

happen to anyone else?

also for the supertab im getting "credits" what do i do with it lol

edit: got off the phone with VM and was told

- $10 credit: no longer applied to this bill (or future ones) because 2 years passed and the credit has expired
- SuperTab positive credits: VM will "pay" you back with the credit which can be used to purchase/upgrade to a new phone from them
- SuperTab credit only goes up to $300
- Conclusion: We'll be continuing to pay $43 after tax (instead of the usual $32-33) if you plan to stay with them. Forgot to ask what the cancellation process/fee is.

Pretty sure the discount was only for 2 years. At least that's what it says on my papers when I signed up.

There is no cancellation since you're likely at the end of your term (mine ended a few weeks ago). If you'd like the leave I think you can without any penalty. That said, there are no plans that come close to what's offered for even the regular price, so I'm staying put for the time being.

Edit: I can't read entire posts without replying.
