$48.88 in Sam's Club

Sam's Club in store price of $48.88 for new contracts or renewals. Got one yesterday. Sam's Club does require a membership, they start at $40.

not a bad price for someone set on getting a new e4gt on contract. good share!

The only Samsung phone i see is the galaxy 2. The only phone i know that is called that is the t-mobile phone. It says club price of 580. Am i missing something? Aren't they supposed to be cheaper? Sprint wants 500 full price. Best buy is the same way, more expensive full price than Sprint.

Why would anyone shop at Sams Club? Do you hate the working class or just mom and pop stores? XDA should ban all references to Walmart and Sam Club. I can see why their phones are cheap when they pay their workers peanuts and give the literature on how to get food stamps and welfare.

That's an odd statement, considering the maker of our phones....Samsung- isn't an American owned company and Walmart & Sams club locations are independently owned and operated in large part by Americans...But hey, go ahead and pay retail price if it makes you feel "patriotic".
Personally, I will thank the OP for a helpful hint.

I got this phone last sunday..they also waived activation fee..$36.00, pretty much covers the price of sams club membership

good stuff my friend was looking for an inexpensive galaxy 2 since i recently got mine

So even though they list the phone online ad a galaxy s 2, but in the store, it's a epic 4g touch for sprint? Just wanting to make sure since their web site is vague.
Was is new activation or upgrade/renewal of contract? I've seen cheaper if new to sprint. Amazon wireless

It's listed as Epic 4G Touch on Sam's website but the price is $149.99 online. In store price is $48.88 for new contracts or renewals.

I got mine when it was listed for exactly one day on letstalk for 49.99. Lucked out.

I guess you did. $11 cheaper than Amazon wireless before tax. That 11 is including the 40 for a membership to sams. I suppose if you want to be a **** about it, you could get the membership, buy the phone, leave for a while then come back and say you don't want the membership any more and want a refund. At least their website says you can get a membership refund. I didn't look into the details and conditions for the refund yet.
I'm guessing Amazon wont have tax and get free shipping. If you don't get the refund then its almost the same price after taxes if you get it at sams.

Hate to burst your bubble dude, but Walmarts and Sams Clubs are NOT "independently owned and operated"..
Walmart is a CORPORATION, owned by stockholders...with the major Stock holders being the multi billionaire Walton Family..

As far as I know you're correct but, that's no reason to hate them. They bring jobs to places that need them. Yeah they don't pay the best but, it's either no job or have a job. In this economy a job is a job.

Yeaaa, I don't think SERO is around any more.

Ya, SERO is long gone. There is another plan for friends and family members. But, it is in your sponsers name. So, if you don't pay your bill they would know and they would be responsible for it. I wouldn't think anyone would chance it for someone online. Plus, from time to time they change requirements. A few years ago there was a limit of the number of family members. If they reincorporate a limit that would really suck if it was used by people you didn't even know.
And, if anyone on the plan is behind on their bill no one can upgrade their phone until the bill is caught up.
Like the previous poster said. No one would chance it.

The Advantage Plan(s) details and fine print have changed quite a bit, and even a little more since I was hired last year.
We can have up to 30 lines, which is pretty wonderful! But only 1 personal line is FREE (other lines we could open cost $40 a month for unlimited everything) and 1 tablet (accessory) line, with an optional hotspot, etc.
More-or-less, that is some risky business for anyone who would be willing to provide that information via the internet.

Thanks for this information. However, the "Everything Plus Referral Program Shoppers Private Store" for the Philadelphia location prices are exactly the same as the standard store...

I still have SERO which needs to be changed to "SERO Premium" to activate a decent phone. They've nerfed SERO a lot in the past few years, it's still slightly better than a 25% corporate discount but not by much. Hardly worth the hassle to get it now IMO. Find a 25% corporate discount which is almost as good. You'll pay a few bucks more but suffer less inconvenience doing things like upgrading phones.

ok....did you log into the referral site 1st and then tried to compare the Philadelphia prices. If so clear your browser cache because it saves the referral info. The last time i checked, it was at least a $10 discount $69.99 for everything data 500 and $59.99 thru the referral site. I know if you go to certain schools or work for certain companies you would be eligible for a % of your bill.

All corporate discounts actually require you to have an email registered with our system for verification (aka @ibm.com email for me) Or if your email isnt recognized you have to fax/email in a form with proof of employment with that company, IE badge, Paystub and so on. Its a hassle but really cracks down on stores just throwing discounts on customers account for waste management (used to be sprints highest at 30%) And giving their customer discounts they really aren't eligible for.
Also on a side note a 70 year old man called me a tool in the corporate machine today because I wouldn't adjust his valid voice overages, then called in later and tried to tell an agent he was terminally ill and we should cancel his account...

That is awesome!!!!

You can get EPRP which is 59.99 a month for 500 minutes and unlimited everything else.

I've never had a problem with sending in proof for my corporate discount. However, I do actually work for the company I say I do and my discount is pretty nice. It is offset a little by the 10 dollar premium data bull because it doesn't work half of the time. Eh, you win some, you lose some.

Get your upgrade early...

I was able to get my upgrade early by buying out the last 6 months of my contract. it cost me 65 bucks that they bill to the account.
Radio shack has a deal right now on the nexus for 199 but you get 100 off when you trade in a old smartphone.
I ask the guy if there going to do the same with the sg3 and this is what he told me. after the first two weeks of sg3 sales there going to offer the same deal around the first week in july. I'm guessing the sunday ad will have it that 2nd sunday in july.
so I bought the nexus and got my 100 bucks off so it was only 99.99. he then had me come back today and return it but was able to transfer the credit to my pre order of the sg3. bam sg3 99 bucks LOVE IT.... but yeah now I have to wait for it.
Hope it works for anyone who try's.

Badassss info! Do you know the max amount of months they will let u buy out????

Early Buyout has been going on for a while now.

I can confirm that. Sprint told me the same thing when I called to turn on caller ID blocking since they are now wanting to disclose your full name on caller ID instead of just your number.

For those of you who have done this, is it as simple as calling Sprint, buying the rest of your contract time, and then somewhere like a radio shack or best buy having it in their system that you are upgrade eligible?

I bought mine out. It had 13 or so months left on it. $135 that will be billed to my next Sprint bill.
When you call make sure to ask for account services. Otherwise you'll be bounced all over the place.
Hell of a deal considering I just sold my Epic 4G touch for 350 on craigs.
220+135+35 activation fee = 370. I got my phone for 40 bucks outta pocket YaY

I bought out my contract for $45 bucks

I think I'm in the $125 range (eligible for upgrade May 2013), if I buy out the rest of my contract now do I have to upgrade immediately or can I let it ride awhile and see what I want to do?

Really? still getting your discount? I hope sprint isn't trying to find an excuse to get shafted by costumers that are post paid.. they aren't exactly the greatest in my area ;p
btw found this on another forum by corys00
"Since the end of July any time a line is upgraded on an account with a discount the account must be re verified for the discount. They are cracking down on former employees still taking advantage of discounts they are no longer entitled to. "

Thats only to prevent former employees and their friends from remaining on employee discounts. As long as the main account holder is still an employee you still get your discount. If they have left or been terminated, well they and their friends don't deserve the discount, so the plan will be switched to an appropriate regular customer account. As long as you aren't trying to get an employee family and friends discount and there's no employee on the account you have nothing to worry about.

I'm on my own plan but under my dad's business discount and they always just call him to verify my eligibility so with and employee I'm sure they'd either call the employee or just check the records to verify they are still employed with them, they are just trying to prevent former employees and their friends and family from using the employee discount when they no longer work there and aren't eligible any more, which technically constitutes fraud anyways since they are obtaining discounted services by fraudulent means

I saw that notice as well and I am on of the people who will be affected by this. This is BS, if you signed up for a friends a family discount many many years ago and no verification was required then, and who knows where that friend is now, why should I lose it? I don't even remember the persons last name it was so long ago.
They have taken away every single benefit that I have had for ten years or more, if I have to pay more for Sprint I am gone. Unlimited is great, no doubt, but I doubt they will stay unlimited once LTE is rolled out.

If you do not work for a company that is eligible for the discount and you are using someone else's discount you do not deserve it. If you want employee prices, then have your friend or family that does have a discount add a line for you.
Just because you know someone who is eligible does not mean you can use their discount on your account.

Well when I signed up my friend provided me with the info/link to sign up and it was no problem then, and it CLEARLY said friends and family on the sign up page. It was so long ago I don't even remember the name of the company.

I know people who work for Sprint, did I use their discount? No. I paid full price just like the majority of Sprint customers.
Yeah it sucks that you're losing the discount that you were never entitled to but quit crying. If it's really so bad go pay full price with another provider. Either way you will be paying full price.

Sam’s Club Black Friday Ad Lists Galaxy S3 for $0.96

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/11/07/sams-club-black-friday-ad-lists-galaxy-s3-for-0-96/
Sam’s Club is now the owner of the “Best Black Friday Deal Award” for the time being. According to their Black Friday ad, they plan to sell the Samsung Galaxy S3 for 96 cents ($0.96) the day after Thanksgiving. Yes, if you are a part of the club, you can pick up the hottest phone of the year for less than a dollar, as long as you are down to sign a new 2-year contract. Talk about a steal.
They will also have the Galaxy Tab 2 7″ and 10″ tablets for $179 and $299, respectively.

Lol good luck grabbing a phone! they will only have a certain amount in stock to sell for a freaking dollar!!
You cant beat best buys deal right now $99.00 with a new contract!! :thumbup:

I've worked for Sam's Club over 9 years.. Most stores will have more than enough.. Last year most of our .96 cent phones lasted a few hours.. Plus your biggest lines will be at walmart and other retailers.. I say if you want a sg3 for .96 cent.. You have a big chance in getting one on black friday..

I know a few people who will be out there lol. Luckily I picked mine up on launch... 1st person to own an S3 in my area

I want to get one for my wife but our upgrade doesn't kick in until Dec 1. Any chance they would waive the early termination fee for 8 days?
If not then paying $50 for a GS3 is still an awesome deal once I add the ETF.

I want to get one for my wife but our upgrade doesn't kick in until Dec 1. Any chance they would waive the early termination fee for 8 days?
If not then paying $50 for a GS3 is still an awesome deal once I add the ETF.

Refurbs?
I stopped by the the Sprint kiosk at my local mall today. The price for the S3 upgrade was $199.00. So I told the salesman about some of the Black Friday prices and the fact that Walmart had it for $149.00 a few weeks back. His response was that the phones at Walmart and Bestbuy were refurbs. I don't think that's the case, but how about it? Does anybody know if these vendors are actually offering refurbished units?

Course he would say that. He's bitter you weren't going to buy from him.
I'd suspect that it would almost be illegal to not advertise them as being refurbished.

Do those pictures say its available online, on Nov 21st or is that another product?

Did this apply to upgrading a line or do you need a totally new 2 year agreement? I have two lines I've been sitting in upgrades for a while now.

Says qualifying service agreement on pic. Not sure how they'll determine that.

The small print picture is at the bottom of the main advertisement. I'm assuming it's for everybody everything on sale. But I could be wrong.

I think The 96¢ deal at Sams Club will probally be just for new contracts. I say that because if you check the Sams Club web site now they do have 2 different prices for the S3 depending on whether its a new contract vs. being eligible for an upgrade on an existing contract. Currently it's 99.99 vs 149.99 respectively. So my guess is that if they are offering 2 tier pricing now (actually 3 tier since you can also pay full price with no contract), the 96¢ price is likey the lowest and I wonder what the price will be for an upgrade. Still 49.00 or 99.00 is a good deal seeing as I paid 199.99 each for 2 S3's a few months ago. Iv've got a third number on my account and its eligible for an upgrade.

About that Sams ads is bad news for me becuase here in Puerto Rico Sams only sells AT&T and T Mobile phones.

I'm guessing price matching from other stores wouldn't be an option with this ad because it's a 'club' store.
I could see a Best Buy sales manager having a stroke when they see 50 GS3s being sold for $47 less than what BB will be offering on black friday. :laugh:
