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 will be purchasing a galaxy nexus from a friend in a few days.He told me that he has not paid the etf fee for the phone, I was curious if the phone would work if I had a lte sim card or if I signed up for new service. Thanks for the help in advance.
You'll have to call Verizon and see what they can do if anything, they might not let you activate it.

The phone will be blacklisted from ever connecting to Verizon's network until your friend pays the money he owes to Verizon. Tell him to stop being a cheap ass and pay his bill.

Verizon usually doesn't usually budge on unblacklisting phones so you might be screwed.

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.

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.

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.

Nobody said the classic subsidized plans were eliminated completely. Walmart, Costco, Amazon, Best Buy and other retailers who carry Tmobile phone still have the old plans because retailers get a cut when they lock in customers for two years. But at Tmobile corporate stores and online at tmobile.com, only the new plans are offered. Tmobile is all about choice, which you don't have at Att, Verizon, or Sprint

They didnt get rid of contracts, they just now offer no contract plans.
I got the GS4 no contract and the monthly payment is $50 unlimited everything and $20 if you dont want them to slow down 4G after 500MB/month.
comes out to $70, next line would be $50 and every line after would be $30.
Comes out cheaper than that $79

Because the price without contract is actually better than with contract. Let me crunch the numbers -
With Contract from Costco: $200 for Galaxy S4 + $80/month for unlimited talk/text/2.5GB web = $2,120 over the 2 year contact
Without Contract from T-Mobile.com: $630 for Galaxy S4 + $60/month for unlimited talk/text/2.5GB web = $ 2070 over 2 years period
The economics are even better if you bring a $300 Nexus 4 instead of purchasing a Galaxy S4. And if you are in a family plan, you're talking about over a thousand dollar in savings across multiple lines. BUT the biggest benefit is that after 2 years, you will pay $60/mo off contract no matter which phone you use, whereas under contract you'll still pay $80/mo long after you've technically paid off the subsidy.

Because you pay less when you bring your own phone. If you want contract there is the eip plan where you pay $20 more per month. On other carriers there is no option like this. Bottom line you pay only for service not for the device. In other carriers even if you bring your own device you still pay the same price as others with contract.

Because you dont want to be locked down to one phone for two years. You can pay your first phone off and get another phone. Lets say if there is another nice phone comes out 8 months from now, like the S5. If you have a two year contract, you cant do this.

If they got caught doing that, they (or the employee doing it), could get into some serious trouble.

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.
