Before the Unlimited Data Date passes you by if you have that plan! They are now showing the Galaxy Nexus for $49.99 on many sites: Wirefly, Target Mobile, Kmart, Sears, Newegg etc on a two year contract extension. Also many companies will price match this. Can't go wrong with this price.

Amazon had it for a penny a few days ago. New lines only.
Wow, sure beats the $300 I dropped back in December!
Just got mine 3 days ago. Couldn't take advantage of the penny deal. I made vzw upgrade me 6 months early because of their new "screw everybody" share plans. Had to buy the phone from vzw. 150 after 50 dollar rebate.

I was in Costco today and noticed that the T-Mobile GS3 has dropped to $199 no mail in needed. I bought two of them when it released last month. Since I was still within 30 days I was able to get it adjusted. Nice to walk out of Costco with an extra $100. Anybody else that bought from Costco should be able to do the same. Enjoy the extra cash!

Wow this is ridiculous.
Super pissed that I got it from a T-Mo retailer now...anyone know of anyways we can get adjusted?
Yeah... the costco deal finally pushed me to trash my 2-year old vibrant and upgrade.
I still can't get used to how massive the SGS3 is.

I yelled at retention for a few days, eventually they gave me a credit. First they said I could return, pay the $50 and buy it from Wal-Mart, then that didn't work so they gave me a $50 credit. Then they said I could do it in a few days "when the system reset" showing me eligible for an upgrade. That didn't happen either. Then they said they would sell it to me from customer service for 199 or I could buy it from a retail store and they would credit my account. Worked out, just had to pay a bit more up front.
Yea, this is how i got my phone about 2 weeks ago. They even had a deal where you could get a GS2 for free on another line. It should be the same at every Costco. So i payed 199 for the GS3 and my dad got the GS2 for free. So worth it. Big upgrade from my Mytouch 4G
I order one from target at 199

Now i just gotta wait for ups
Keep in mind that at Costco, they charge you tax on the pre-coupon price, so here in WA, where tax is 9.5% it kinda sucks. But they do have great customer service and free accessories.

This is true, but it's not being calculated from the MSRP either, it's calculated off their reduced wholesale price, which for me in CA, for 16GB SGS3 was $389.99, and that came out to $34 in tax (8.75% tax where I live.) Compare this to T-mobile who wanted to charge me tax off the full $629.99 MSRP, which would have been $55 in tax, and it's still $21 cheaper, even if you can talk t-mobile down to the $199 price.

Hey guys my girlfriend is finally looking for a new phone after getting the Samsung Vibrant a few years ago and has he heart set on this phone. Thing is that we are a little tight on a budget and trying to find the best price. So far I see Bestbuy at 179 and Wirefly at 199. Does anyone know of any other sites that might be cheaper? If this was posted in the wrong place I appologize and will move it to another forum. Thanks guys!
I got my S3 from T-mobile retentions department, I have been with them 9 years. I simply told them I have seen the S3 cheaper other places and would like from them to make me a deal. I got the S3 for $186 with a $100 credit on my account and the $50 mail-in rebate. When it is all said and done I will have paid around $70 with taxes and activation fee.
Costco's also has the Sgs 3 for 179 for the white and blue 16g, you have to have a membership or know someone that does. Bestbuy is a good bet.

I just ordered the S3 16 gb thru customer service this morning. Paid $179.99 + tax and have $50 mail in rebate. Will get the phone next week. Asked her about the $99.99 price on the website, she said that one only for new customers and it is web-only price.
On T-Mobile's website the S3 is $99 for 16GB an $149 for 32GB with a mail in rebate
$179.99 + 25% off promo code HOLIDAY25 = $134.99 with 2 year agreement. https://ebay.bbymsolutions.com/deta...-ii-4g-mobile-phone-marble-white-sprint-/2519 -- got mine today with a store pick-up !!!
I guess this is only for new customers... upgrades price is $349!!! Wouldn't it be cheaper for me to get it in the store!?!?!
Great price for a new customer though!!! Just wish it was the same price for upgrades too!
For new customers. Where's the love for existing lol?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
yea that sure does suck... using the 25% promo code drops it to $262.50. I had recently upgraded both my lines for the GS3 and the EVO LTE... added a third line to get the NOTE 2 at the awesome price. Looks like the HOLIDAY25 promo code is good through the 18th.
I was wondering if I could add a line and get the note 2 and transfer a number from my existing family plan over to the note 2. Would that cancel that line out and just get replaced with the note. Just curious cause I got a phone that I'm kind of tired of.

that's what i did ... i had the GS3, got the NOTE 2, did an ESN swap where my number is now on the NOTE 2 and the new number is on the other. It does not cancel it out. Still gots to pay for that line per month. 19.99 per month for the third line, 10.00 if its a smart phone, and any insurance you might decide to go with.
Insane price especially add a line....

Yep! I bought mines almost two weeks ago from the local Best Buy store and got the Note II price matched to Amazon Wirelsss at $240 and the SIII for my wife at $50.
Last week I saw that Amazon dropped the new customer price online to $149.99 so I went to the store to get my price match guarantee.
Now yesterday I saw that the SIII is now $0.01 for new customers and the Note II is $99.99. I went back to the store and got price matched again before my grace period ran out this Wed.
In the end, I got the Note II for $99.99 and my wife's SIII for $0.01, I am one happy camper!
I went to best buy and got sprint, they did priced match with amazon..so i only paid 150 for gn2 with new plan.

If you got it recently, I would suggest you go back with a print out from the Amazon wireless webpage so you can get 50 bucks back with their price guarantee policy (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Payment...ee/pcmcat204400050011.c?id=pcmcat204400050011). It's the holidays so im guessing we can all use as much extra cash as possible.

Just ordered my Note 2 from LetsTalk.com for 206.99
They have a sale on it for 229.99 until 12/31
Plus I added a coupon code at checkout for 10% off which was another -23.00
For a total of 206.99
The coupon code is: TALK4TEN
Also my upgrade isn't available until 1/1/13, but I was able to have my order placed on hold until then for the same price, just had to chat with a rep.
Amazon Wireless $149.99 with a new 2 year contract. They did had it for $99 last week.
Currently it's on backorder 1-2 weeks with amazon. That price is only for new lines, not upgrades, upgrades is still 199.99. LetsTalk has it in stock. Either way, still a much better price than through sprint.
Also no tax for a lot of states, which is a savings of another $60~ish for most states, as new lines and upgrades tend to charge the tax on the retail price of the device.

It may say backorder but amazon usually ships within 3 to 4 days, on top of that bb will price match online retailers and to me getting it locally is always better. Also I've had good experience with geek squad warranty.

best buy will price match amazon wireless. I got my phone from best buy last week. I had a $100 gift card i wanted to use. They priced matched the upgrade price of 199.99. after the gift card it was about 112 out the door. Cant beat that price for a new note 2.

I was lucky enough to have my bb price match it at 150 and then at 99 and mine was a renewal. I just got lucky they weren't strict about it.

Like its been said before, even with their expected dates being couple weeks they usually ship within couple days. Plenty of people have reported this on several forums. Plus you can always check if your local bb will price match the new price on a renewal something that a lot of bb stores have been matching.

Here is a Frys deal that I came across 169.00 for new customers or 199.99 for add a line. I will be going to Bestbuy to get the price match tomorrow. I missed the 149.00 amazon and the even better 99.00 dollar price with amazon too. Thought it would be nice to share this with folks.

Agreed, not a good deal. They were on sale for $174 for a month on Amazon
I find it funny that people still pay full 2 year contract pricing.
Only 2 phones I could not find at least 50% off asking price is iphones (new iterations) and latest blackberry bold (do not know why this still cost)
All in all welcome.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
$299 is what most carriers are selling it for, especially on contract upgrade/extension. You sometimes get a better deal on a new contract (i.e., you aren't a current customer.)
Amazon had them for about $175 for a little bit but not on a contract upgrade. Then they went to $249, then $289. They seem to be back to $249 now on most carriers.
Usually the cheapest place is cartoys.com based in Seattle. Among other things, you get free shipping and no tax unless you live in Washington or a couple other states. AT&T (and I assume the other carriers) charge tax on the $699 list price. So here in California, the tax is about $60.
Cartoys finally has them available at $249. I did manage to get the only two they had a couple weeks ago at $149 each! I had been following their web site and they accidentally had posted them on the website at that price. I called and they discovered they shouldn't have posted them on the site because they didn't have any stock. So they took them down from the web site. I called a few days later and they had two phones in stock. With some taking, I was able to talk them in to selling them to me. But I wouldn't expect to see them at that price again for a bit.
