Is this legal?
I would like to know why and how U. S.

She confirmed the rumors with me.... Yet still sold me 2 new galaxy's... Never mentioning the the devices weren't going to be compatible with Sprint... and I basically handed us cellular a good amount of money for nothing! Maybe that was my own fault for not researching the facts more before the purchase... However I do think any merchandise sale...

Is it possible that the associate did not know when the buyout would occur? I know a lot of times decisions are made and information is withheld concerning dates because things could change. Is Sprint offering anything to you as far as incentive to switch to them?
