Switching Carriers over some launch availability issues? Devices are out there now in pretty decent numveds , Best Buy is selling them over the counter today as well.

I have t-mobile, but if I had att I wouldn't switch just because of handset availability.
If you are out of contract you should weigh the pros and cons of each in terms of coverage in your area, pricing of comparable plans to satisfy your needs, and THEN device selection.
Plus if you wait a lil longer you can maybe get your hands on the red version!

You realise you can get the AT&T GS3 overnighted to you. You just have to call up and ask for one.

I have a new line with the one x and I'm within my 30 days maybe I'll just see if bb has them. I would switch carriers based on horrible service that att has

I wouldn't switch.. far as I know ( and correct me if I'm wrong ) the T-Mobile version of the SGSIII does NOT have LTE !! To me, that would be a waste.

It has badass hspa+ (42mbps) though which can just as fast as lte depending on location. And it doesnt kill battery like lte, so id say the tmo version is a great option..

T-Mobile is cheaper in the long run, and HSPA 41 is faster than any LTE available

LOL, Best Buy is not selling AT&T Galaxy S3's over the counter! I dont know where you have heard that, but you definitely haven't been following either of the 2 Official Best Buy Galaxy S3 threads.
If Best Buy does have them in stock for AT&T, which is a HUGE IF, they are saying they cannot sell them because AT&T has not announced an official release date/launch date. I know, that makes not sense and is a huge lie, but that is what they are saying.
So NO, Best Buy is not selling AT&T Galaxy S3's over the counter.

The things is, you can't be too sure about CDMA versions on eBay and the likes. They could be blacklisted on the networks.

Yeah...sucks but true. Verizon is CDMA. No getting around that. Either stay with Verizon and unlimited data and pay full price, pay subsidized price and get reduced internet, or jump ship.
I personally am going to get the HSPA+ one and use it with T-Mobile. 5 gigs of 4g and unlimited 3g for $30 a month

You have 45 days to open a buyer protection case, so no worries there. Just buy from a reputable seller and you're good. If you put it on a credit card, you can always do a charge back. I've bought around 50 cell phones on eBay, and only one was blacklisted. I contacted the seller and he gave me a full refund.

Galaxy s3 international vs at&t s3

How come they have more development then we do....are our devices limited....they only thing I kno is the processor ?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

a lot more people in the world have the International version of the s3 (gt-i9300)

That is always the case when the international version uses a different cpu than domestic. That is why i am hoping Note 2 comes with Exynos in the US also.

yes but you wouldn't get LTE. and you would be paying an unsubsidized price so you wouldn't really get your moneys worth from a pricy at&t plan.

I beg to differ on this statement. I have both Euro S3 and ATT S3, the only advantage of the ATT is the LTE. Aside from that the Euro is hands down better in every aspect.
Unsubsidized pricing is NOT that bad, the huge benefit to this is you are not tied to busted ass ATT for 2 years and are able to leave them at any moment.
And with my Euro I have gotten more than my monies worth. The only reason I have the ATT one is because I got a steal on it and I couldn't pass it up. But it honestly just sits on my couch most of the time.

And if you are not in a contract buying an unsubsidised unlocked phone actually saves you money rather than signing a contract with a carrier. My folks pay $100+ for what I get for $45 month. If you do the math, you pay full price 10 times over buying a subsidized phone.

That correct, on At&T the plans are not connected to the device, you only get a break on the price on the device if you agreed to keep your account for 24 months, what phone you have or what plan you have during that period doesn't change or affect the contact.

Correct but if you get a subsidized phone you signed a contract.. carriers plans are more than the prepaid or postpaid plans that offer the same benefits.. its a known fact that carriers get you in the door by offering phones subsidized while offering higher rates than prepaid but if you do the math buying the phone outright you save more money (a LOT MORE) going with Straight Talk over AT&T and essentially get the same service.
Sent from my SGSIII

You don't have to but the phone at a subsidized price you can buy it out right and not sign a 2 yr contract its your choice.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

What do you guys pay for AT&T? $90 a month per line or so? $60?.. $50?.. Straight Talk is exactly the same at $45, they are also on the verge of allowing lte.. the minutes for dollars scam the carriers have been using is very outdated and coming to an end.

Postpaid service is better on every Carrier than prepaid in my opinion.

Well if your going with one of the most costly carriers buying the us version from at&t over the unlocked version saves you 20% the cost of the phone + a 2 year plan. Obviously you would save money from using the unlocked version on a crappy carrier / plan without LTE..

we pay $10 per line line plus $30 for unlimited data and $20 total text unlimited text on 4 lines. granted it is grandfathered, so it is 100% with it for us to stay on our plan.
straight talk limits your data to 2gb and they don't offer LTE. i also have yet to see anything indicating they will or could. to each his own, though.

T-Mobile Offering $50 to Transfer Number to Value Plan

Link here:
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/10/t-mo...omers/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook
If you sign up for a new 2 year contract on a Value Plan, then they'll give you $50 MasterCard.
Just FYI for those of you on another carrier and want a Note II on T-Mobile.

Don't mean to hijack the topic, but do you guys think waiting another month for Black Friday will have even more awesome deals from T-Mobile? $50 back is better than nothing.

I got 100 dollar master Card from them

Possibly, I mean if u wait a month after the release of a phone you'll get a better deal, but the plans themselves dont really vary much and promotions come once in a while. And no worries about thread hijacking not even sure if my thread qualifies for this thread

I waited for weeks for Negri because I didn't know they were that shaddy. Costs more from T-Mobile but at least I have the peace of mind. 5% cashback also helped.

Brought mine from someone. $560. I unlocked it, now I'm rocking it on AT&T LTE network.

Oy! For the love of God, stay away from Negri. I'm sure the thread is still here somewhere. Just search.
I got my from Swappa (After I cancelled my Negri order). Got a decent deal, saved about $100 over the cost of getting it from T-Mobile. Take your time to find a reputable seller. Look for sellers that aren't just buying and selling used phones (i.e. look for an original owner).

SWAPPA is what I would recommend. Can't trust the IMEI problems froms Craigslist or Ebay phones.

Got mine from swappa as well, paid $680, brand new in box.

It's not always a horror story with craigslist, there are a few decent people on there lol. But yea I agree other places are definetly more trustworthy and safe to buy from, just don't expect to get as good a deal from them since your not taking a chance.
I met with craigslist seller @Tmobile so to be sure it was paid off and not blacklisted, just gotta be smart and do things the right way or you will get screwed over on that site

They want the unlocked bootloader of the T-Mobile Note 3 (GSM) for easy rooting and ROM'ing, but want to use it on ATTs more expensive (GSM) network. Has the ATT Note3's bootloader been hacked yet? I don't even know.
