Q: QuestionWhen shopping for an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S8 at our local Best Buy the sales rep told us that the only difference between Best Buy locked and unlocked phones is that the unlocked phones cannot multitask voice and data. Duh?!?

Asked 8 years ago by DanK.

• A:Answer Rod, the question is whether vouce and data can be used simultaneously on a BB unlocked S8 - sales rep said "no". I don't understand that. GSM is inherently multiservice and CDMA carriers now use VoIP to avoid the issue. Dan

Q: QuestionWhy not 2 for 1 offer on unlocked phone with a qualified trade in at Best Buy?

Asked 8 years ago by Possible.

• A:Answer This is a Samsung only promo. If you don't trade in the device within 14 days Samsung will retroactively charge your card back for the trade-in and second device cost. Best Buy doesn't do that so only Samsung will. It's a wash though because at Best Buy you can get great gift card deals, but with Samsung you'll get the second phone for free.
