Sounds like a great deal..... but having the "right" phone is important.

The best I can find is the "right" phone is the following:

Device Type Device Operating System
iPhone 4S and above iOS 8 and above
Samsung Galaxy S® 4 Android > 4.3
Samsung Galaxy S III Android > 4.3
Samsung Galaxy Note® II Android > 4.3
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Android > 4.3
HTC ONE Android > 4.3
Motorola Droid Android > 4.3
Google Nexus 5 Android > 4.3

However, this is a nonsensical list. I briefly had the Samsung S6 and I'm pretty sure I got a push notification once.... but it is not on the list. I do however currently have a moto X Pure which from a software and radio standpoint should be identical to the Nexus 5, but it is NOT the right phone. The list is terribly vague in the use of "HTC One" and "Motorola Droid" since there have been several "Ones" and "Droid" is actually a trademark of Verizon.

At the end of the day, I have a modern smartphone running an OS way higher than what they require above and I've got all the right radios (bluetooth 4 and NFC and all possible Wifi bands).... So why exactly don't I have the right phone?
