I walked into a T-Mobile store and the store manager confirmed that tomorrow I will be able to buy my Galaxy Note 2. The store did not have a display model and they only recived 3units for sale. Two of them being white. However, the manager did place the grey model on hold for me for only $5 down. I'm ditching my Galaxy S3. Hope this helps the T-Mobile buyers...

$249.99 on T-Mobile? That must be value plan...the value plan you are buying the phone outright and paying per month. The classic plan is just like all of the other carriers. T-mobile is really pushing their value plans.
Value is better priced any way you look at it.

Phones purchased on value plans will also be blacklisted if you don't pay your bill. There was a big scam a while ago with that. That is why if you purchase a T-Mobile phone second hand, you should call T-mobile with the IMEI to make sure it wasn't purchased on a value plan.
ok so here is my deal. I have the t mobile galaxy s3 which i bought less than 2 weeks ago and now I want the note 2. I paid 470 for the white s3 as it was used but it was very well maintained (looks new). The reason ipaid so much for it was because im not in a contract. Im using simple mobile which basically im getting t-mobile service (yes even 4g 42.2) for 50 bucks a month (minus insurance but even under a contract never bothered as i always got good cases). What would you suggest i do? I was thinking of selling the S3 for 430ish USD and put the rest on a note (hopefully i wont have to pull any more than 100 from pocket). Let me know what do you suggest

I spoke to customer service and the off contract price is $700+. I really don't see a situation where you will be able to come $100 out of pocket and get the Note 2 without signing a contract...

No, I have a full upgrade available. But they didn't have the upgrade price today and told me the retail which was $700 plus tax.
ugh...$700 is a very hard pill to swallow. debating if i should wait it out or pick one up now if thats the price...im not due for an upgrade until next june.
I guess ill keep my S3. Price is a little too much. Thanks a lot though!
You could always sell the GS3 and come out a little more than $100 out of pocket. If you sell the GS3 for $450, you can get an international note on Ebay for around $550. Pop in a straight talk sim (either AT&T or T-mobile service) and pay $45 a month for unlimited everything.
TMO News
I've been obsessively monitoring the TMO News website for the last couple weeks (OK, maybe longer than that - I really want a Note 2). Anyway, they have the leaked pricing information and updates on availability, etc. http://www.tmonews.com/

I was thinking in doing that but the international one doesnt support 42.2 HSPA+ on t mobile. I dont want to go straight talk because it doesnt have the t mobile 3g frequencies (correct me if im wrong) but it definitely doesnt have the 42.2 radio. Right now im getting 18 down and 2 up on simple mobile. If i go at%t, i know my data will only go as far as 5mbps at its best. The radios are the issue. If the international supported 42.2mbps, ill definitely have no problem getting it

So, I saw the ad for this weekend in chicagoland; free Samsung phones with new service..
After calling 4 stores to confirm that the Gnote2 was included, I have gotten different answers from the stores I called.
Some say it does NOT include the Gnote2, others said it did.
does anyone know for sure if it includes the gnote 2?
thanks!
Check here for some additional info:

No one knows for sure until the promotion starts, but supposedly the Note 2 will be available for a reduced price -- not free.
i asked my friend who works for tmobile as a sales rep and he said note 2 is not included but will be on sale.

its hard to figure out what the note will actually cost; its once price for the "classic" plan, and another price for the "value" plan..
I guess I should wait until Friday and go into a store to see for sure..
not gonna lie. if it ends up being free or like a 100 bucks after upgrade, im gonna burn my tmobile store down. being a first adopter sucks. lol
yeah, I'm usually the one on the bad end of the stick too...trying to avoid that this time!
I kinda hate to leave ATT after only 8 months, but it will be a pain trying to get one from them for even 299, which, I could sell my note one for, at least, on Ebay...
Plus, developement is still pretty slow for the note 2, and its great for the note one...
I saw the commercial last night, they mentioned just about every Samsung phone except the Note 2.

its going to be 199 after mail in rebate. If you factor in 3 months till you get your rebate, it still makes sense to get the rebate, pay the 200 dollar migration fee to value and you still save money over the 24 months.

You only save about $40 doing what you are suggesting. The 3 months on a classic plan cost $60 more than a value plan.

There is a news article on T-mo news' website (i would post the link but since i am a new user, i can't) stating that the note 2 is on sale, but just a different offer from the free after rebate sale that other samsung phone is getting.
And I just asked a sales person at a local t-mobile store in southern california and talked to a customer support on t-mobile's live chat. The store's sales person told me the news is correct and the live chat support didn't deny it either (i didn't ask directly about the sale with the live chat).
However, if you asked anytime earlier than today (i'm assuming anytime before noonish), you might get a different response. This is because the sales person at the store told me that he just received it not too long ago (i went to the store at 3:15pm ish today--nov 14th), so this was new to them as well
I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and the Note 2 is eligible but how this "promotion" works is you pay full pop no matter what phone or contract, and the rest / savings are all mail in rebates... I just bought the Note 2 from Firefly and I think I'm going to save the headache and eat the $100, but that's just my take on it.

you pay 20 dollars a month extra for 20 months. thats 400 dollars extra on the classic plan as any fool would switch to value after 20 months with no migration fee. you pay 40-60 dollars extra while you stay on the classic plan and wait for the rebate depending on if it takes 2 or 3 months. You pay 200 migration fee. So you save 140-160 dollars.

I mean you only save $40 by buying phone on "classic plan then switching to value plan" vs just buying phone on the value plan from the start.

An admittedly stupid question, but let's say the Note 2 is part of the deal and one waits til they get the 300 dollar rebate and then take the ETF and switch to prepaid=Note 2 for 200 dollars? Possible? Consequences?

No consequence as long as you pay the etf.
Don't know how you get $200 for note 2 though. Cheapest without including any monthly plans or activation is $400 already.

I think the note 2 is roughly 300 with the unlimited classic plan, which one would get back in the form of a rebate within a couple months if the Note 2 is included in this Friday/Saturday sale. ETF is 200 dollars(since I am on the 30 dollar 5GB prepaid Tmo plan through Walmart with my Gnex and would go back to that with the Note 2), so that's where I pulled the Note 2 for 200 figure from. Just idle thoughts.
If this isn't in right place, please do move it.
I had my new Note I for 44 days, decided they're not going to give Note I JB anytime soon, if ever, so I took it back Best Buy and got the Note II.
I paid $150 for Note I and extra $150 for the Note II.
Total cost with contract was $300.
(Note I is going for $100.
Then this weekend I saw that Best Buy had it on sale for $200 w/2year contact. So I went back and they gave me back $100. That sure made my day! It WILL go back up by this weekend.
That's how I got mine and sold my T.mobile to them ! Good riddence and glad to be back on AT&T.

Better jump on it TODAY as it's the last day for it before it goes back up to $300. In my case, I got a $100 back since I bought the Note II two weeks ago. That was a NICE surprise, getting a $100 back. I was happy to spend $300 as this phone is worth every penny!
I opened a new line to snag this GNII at Best Buy... my contract on my line isn't due until November. Ill gladly pay the $10 a month for the 'add a line's charge. Or pay ETF up front, its still less that the no-contract price.

I'm in a battle with them now because I bought mine on Sunday when the deal was introduced. The rep told me that I would be able to get it, but when I called back to ask about how I'll be receiving it they told me that I won't. They said because I ordered the phone before the 10th, I'm not eligible. So I called corporate. They sent me to mobile post customer support. And I finally got a case number.
The last guy told me that since Sunday, it has been a huge problem because 90% of the reps don't know how the deal works... So they have had a lot of angry customers. Hopefully I'll get the gift card. It would be nice to have the phone for $150 instead of $200, which is cheaper than the lowest I've seen which was on amazon in 2012 for 175.
The $50 gift card is to compensate those who missed the $100 discount.

First, do you homework on the deals... and let me make this clear... you've got to talk to the right person. Always. Reps, especially on the phone, will give you nothing. The ones working in the phone area will give you nothing. This is what they're taught to do. I ALWAYS talk to the service department and if I have to, the store manager. Never been turned down. Of course I have silver status, so that means I spend a lot of money at BB. They want to keep me happy.
I have silver status which gives me 45 days to return or change my mind.
I had the Note I for 42 which I paid $150 for it. Two weeks ago, I paid another $150 for the Note II. Now I got 45 more days. Then last weekend they refunded me $100 of that for the $199 deal at the time for the Note II, then yesterday, a $50 gift card that the floor guys didn't even know was going on.
The deal got sweeter today as the weekend special says this:
If you get a Samsung Phone with a two year contract, you get $100 off on select Samsung Notebooks.
Look online or get their deals ads when you go to the store.
Computers & Tablets : Samsung_Laptop_Tablet_Phone_Offer_103656 - Best Buy
Guess what... since I'm in my 45 day time frame, I got a Samsung Notebook w/$100 off today.
Am I saving money or what!!! :victory:
I essentially got mine free... I was having a problem with my Atrix 2. It was my third one in a year. The rep offered to sell me the note 2 for 299. I argued and complained and eventually got him to sell it to me for 150, including overnight shipping. The next day it didn't come. I called in and raised hell again and they gave me a 100 dollar credit on my bill for my inconvenience. The rep PROMISED me a Monday delivery. It didn't come today and the tracking info says it will be delivered on Wednesday. I called and raised hell again and they gave me a 50 dollar credit.
I have to wait for 2 more days to get it, but that ain't bad for a free note 2,

etf, 350 vs $240 for the line at 24 mos PLUS getting an additional upgrade. just add the line. i am gonna do it for a back up phone. get best free phone and sell it. (best buy's buy back was great for this) put chip into a $10 go phone. this should about cancel out the cost of the contract.
Go to Radio Shack $199 on att and they trade in phones as well. Plus you get people who actually know what they're talking about

You will be able to do it, but you might have to pay,the amount you have to pay to end your contract depends on how much time you have left on it.

You can do that as long as someone on the account is eligable for a phone upgrade (new contract). Upgrade their line with the Note 2 then have Sprint swap the two phones so you can keep your same phone numbers but have traded phones. I did this when I got my S3.
Typical selling price for an S3 is $150 right now.

If you've been on the fence about jumping ship to Tmobile now may just be the best time. I'll be going into the store tomorrow and talking to a rep about some details (which I'll share here) .
The new promotion starts March 22. They'll pay up to $650 on your lease plus etf fees I believe.

Yah that's what I've been worried about it but that is true. If I remember correctly, t-mobile puts more bloatware on their phones though. I also heard details about the T-Mobile $650 buy off deal. T-Mobile pays off your lines from the other carrier but T-Mobile also buys off your phones for a certain price. Then you'll need to buy a phone off them for full retail price to cover all the costs. I don't believe it's completely true though since I didn't receive this from T-Mobile themselves

Does this mean that I will have to buy a phone and plan or can I buy just a phone. I would buy a t-mobile note 4 to use on AT&T but I don't want to switch to a T-mobile phone and service plan. Basically what I am asking is weather or not I can use this program to get a t-mobile note 4 and not a t-mobile plan so I can still use AT&T service.
From how it was explained to me at the store.
They will pay off your device (up to $650 per line) and your contract if you have your att # ported to tmobile. Then you give them your att phone and buy a Tmobile phone and activate it on their service. They don't have contracts so it'll be month to month. I'm sure there is fine print about keeping a line of service open with them for a period of time.

Since T-Mo doesn't have contracts, when you buy a phone from them, you pay for the full price of the phone spread out over 20 (or maybe 24) months. If you terminate your service before that time is up, you're on the hook for the balance of those phone payments.
This is the same thing as if you bought a device through at&t Next. Since you are not on contract, you are not subject to an early termination fee, but you are responsible for whatever you haven't paid toward the cost of your phone.
I use to be an AT&T customer when I bought my last phone which was the note 3. Now I'm a happy customer of t-mobile rocking a note 4 with unlimited data for 2 phones for 100$. Life is good. Glad I moved to t-mobile when I did.

that $100 for 2 unlimited data lines is a great price. I know TMO extended that deal for 2 years but I just hope we wont get forced onto a different plan after 2 years.
Yup. They will probably find a way to force us into a different plan. But for now I'm enjoying it. On the note 3 with AT&T I was paying for 300mb of data. I thought if was super expensive. But now I'm happy with what I'm paying for.

I'd jump on T-mo too. But I need to wait a few months. Hopefully the deal still exists till then. Unlocked bootloaders, unlimited data, lower monthly payments, timely updates. Sounds good to me.

I still have one line of AT&T currently. I switched 7 lines over to Tmobile. I'm lucky to be in an area with better Tmobile coverage and data than AT&T. Only downside I have is wall penetration of Tmobiles 4g. Wifi calling takes care of it for the most part though and you get a free 4g hotspot or free wifi router depending on your preference. The ASUS Cellspot router is pretty damn good.
I like AT&T physical stores better too. Something about Tmobile stores around me makes me want to get a carry permit. Thank god for webstores.

Yah that's what I've been worried about it but that is true. If I remember correctly, t-mobile puts more bloatware on their phones though. I also heard details about the T-Mobile $650 buy off deal. T-Mobile pays off your lines from the other carrier but T-Mobile also buys off your phones for a certain price. Then you'll need to buy a phone off them for full retail price to cover all the costs. I don't believe it's completely true though since I didn't receive this from T-Mobile themselves

Unlocked bootloader/easy root = no bloat.
