Isn't that a note in the picture? Hard to tell, even staring at my own Note 2, lol.

free = still requires a contract = not really free

True, mathematically it's still cheaper if you buy it for $650 and go with the $30 plan. BUT, I will need a family plan (3 phones) and I think the math will work out better if I go with free phones and a contract.

The placement of the sensors next to the front camera looks different than the notes, but I could be wrong

You're on to it, just looked note 2's sensors above ear price that picture they're below which means its just a white s3.
Damn it sorry guys

Regardless if you pay $250 or got it for "free" on contract, you'll still have to pay for it in monthly increments.

yYu can also tell by how close the home button is to the bottom of the screen. The Note 2 home button is very close where the Gs3 has a larger space between the two.
Great find tho

This may be a retarded question.
Can't you just get it for free than pay the 200$ etf fee lol?
Because I get activation for free from my school, so I would just need to pay the ETF & discounted monthly bill right?
Thanks.

That's what I'm doing with the BestBuy Ebay deal. It's not free, but $250+tax+ETF is still way cheaper than $650+tax. I also doubt that they'd give the Note 2 away for free during that promo. If you read the fine print, I believe it says on "some" phones.
I also saw another site that had screenshots of some internal T-mobile memo (from his "friend") which showed T-Mobile cutting prices on several phones nearly in half. Not sure how realistic that is, but if they do come out with something like that, I'd bet the next step would be to increase the ETF to prevent bastards like me from taking advantage of the situation.
EDIT: Found the article for the rumored price drops, but the site hits our corporate firewall. It's at briefmobile.com.

my wife wants an S3 so this could work for her, i'm still concerned about the rebate part. I would activate it and immediately switch it to the value plan and eat the 200 buck migration fee, but would they still pay out on the rebate? I talked to customer support today, business support actually as I am going to use a corporate discount and they said yes it they would still pay the rebate but still iffy.
walmart doing 100 dollars rebate card for phones on blackfriday and cheap prices to boot, i'd rather gamble with that but who knows what will actually be available.

im also planning to get the s3 for free for my gf, then paying the $200 ETF and using it with straight talk.
seems like the cheapest way to go to get this phone.

pretty good bet that won't be tmobile.

Weird how they have 2 Galaxy S3 on that poster... Pretty sure that big phone isnt a Note II... >.<

It doesn't matter guys. They'll make you get the classic plan, not the value. Therefore you'll end up buying the phone anyways. Not free at all.

Select phones free after rebate on Classic plans. If you are planning to get the phone then pay ETF then the rebate won't go through since it takes 10-12 weeks until you get rebate back and they make sure you still have the plan...

Why is the Tmobile version so much more???

I bought the phone the day after it came out but the total out the door was just short of $400. Then I would have gotten the $50 rebate.
I have a tmobile my touch 4g slide and it is a pretty good phone. I just couldn't justify $350 net so I returned it and paid the $50 restocking fee.
I got really ticked off when a co worker told me he got his from Sprint for $200. Then, a couple of days later, he told me that the cost was $100.

Probably the chip to support hspa+ 72 made it cost more than the lte models.
I think it's just T-Mobile's pricing structure. With my now-gone New Every Two discount on Verizon, I paid $130 with a new two-year contract for my white 16GB Galaxy S3.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I believe it's a mix of T-Mobile having cheaper plans for voice/text/data and also it could be the fact that the phone uses HSPA+.
I got mine on June 21st so I can't complain. Plus I have nothing but excellent contact with T-Mobile and excellent cell/data service.

Tmobile actually lowered the price for the galaxy s3 on the tenth... If you guys still have your receipts to into the store you bought it from and they have to give you the money back for the price difference... (If you bought it within 30 days) .. I got like 33 bucks back.. Give it a try they have to do it.. I hear a lot of people getting the difference back

If your contract is up, call 611 & when prompted for input say "cancel". This should get you to the loyalty department, 'inform' them you are thinking of switching to AT&T because they offered you free Galaxy S3s if you did. They will definitely give you a better price than you can find anywhere as far as retailers are concerned. Please report your success story with us
My dad simply just called customer loyalty and said we were thinking of switching and what's the best they could do for us. So I ended up getting the 32gig white s3 for 240 and that includes shipping and all fees

Take it from a man that makes his OWN deals. If you tell them you aren't too satisfied and another carrier is already "courting" you they will make you a better offer than what this kid above listed. Trust me.
No offense kid.

Agreed! T-mobile has been losing contract customers in significant numbers to either pre-paid or other carriers. This above strategy used to work for me... until I found a family member that works there... That's what you really need!
Just to add to the info on what you should be able to easily get: my contract expired and I called to "verify" that it was. I also mentioned that I could get the same phone for $150 less with another carrier at the time. She immediately offered the phone for $229 (16gb) with a $150 bill credit to bring it down to $79. PLUS she gave me the $20 5gb data plan and a $10 monthly credit for 24 months! Also got free overnight shipping. Oh and I still get to send in for the $50 rebate!
Hope that helps give you an idea what to shoot for.

If you're off contract tmobile will do close to anything to keep you if you have been loyal (5+ years, no late payments)
For me I always jump on the latest and greatest so i'm constantly under contract, tmo still honors my loyalty and gives me great pricing along with monthly discounts.

That's one thing that frustrates me about T-Mobile. They're ALWAYS doing amazing deals for new customers but never do much of anything for existing customers. I want to upgrade my wife's line and I can get a cheap standard flip phone for free or pay $100 for an old outdated MyTouch Q (which seems like an absolute waste of using an upgrade) or pay ~$300 for a SGS3 for her.

I've been with T-Mobile for 10 years and they have been fantastic. They offered me the 10gb data plan with mobile hotspot for $30 a month today. I'm still thinking about it, I have the new truly unlimited for $30 a month right now. I'm 10 days outside the 14 days you have to get the insurance and the customer service representative told me that today but still gave me the insurance for being a premium customer.

I just added a second line to my account last Wed, and i got the S3. Friday i see the deal online and am pretty pissed that i just paid $348 for the phone and not 2 days later its $99. I call them and get tossed around all weekend and no help on being compensated for the difference. The only thing they said i could do was to send it back wait for the return process to go through, then buy a third line for that price. Complete Bull**** that they cant just credit me the difference(not including the rebate). The return process itself would take a week i was told, so i would be without a phone for 1-2 weeks. I am just shocked at their process for this. I love the S3 that i have, but come on.

The main monitoring occurs on the network not the device level. Essentially they are monitoring the user agent of the outgoing traffic.
One easy way to circumvent their tethering blockage is to use a 3rd party tethering app and change your user agent on your internet browser to android or iPad/iPhone. Both Chrome and Firefox have extensions that easily let you change your user agent.
Confirmed working for me on the unlimited 4G plan using Chrome and WiFi tether.

Need Advice

I currently have the sgs3 and I need to get my wife a new phone. I don't have any upgrades available on my tmob account right now, so I would be paying full price if I wanted to get her a new phone. I have a friend who works at tmobile who said he/she could get me a NIB Galaxy Note II for $450. I want to know your thoughts on if this is a good deal or not. Obviously I know it's a better deal than paying full price. But I want to know if you think it's good enough to upgrade from my sgs3 or not? My wife could care less, as long as she can text and surf Facebook, she's contempt. Btw, she has the HTC MyTouch 4g.
If I could get another for $450, i'd jump on it!

I have a friend who works at tmobile who said he/she could get me a NIB Galaxy Note II for $450. I want to know your thoughts on if this is a good deal or not. Obviously I know it's a better deal than paying full price. But I want to know if you think it's good enough to upgrade from my sgs3 or not? My wife could care less, as long as she can text and surf Facebook, she's contempt. Btw, she has the HTC MyTouch 4g.

Off contract for $450? Either stolen or... I dunno. Some crazy bending of a rule. If it's too good to be true (this is most likely) than it prolly is.

I paid $748 after taxes, but T-mobile credited my account $548. So $200 with no contract extension.

If I could score one at that price I would keep it in case god for bid anything happend to my note or sell it and profit. That is an extremely good deal.

[Q) buying through best buy?

Saw this phone on best buy for 150 and I'm eligible for a 2 year agreement just wanted to know if any of you guys have bought through best buy before?
If so Does your plan changed in any way whether it would be data?
Reason why I ask is because T-Mobile is always making it impossible for their customers. I see it as a smart investment worse comes to worse down the line I can always opt out and pay that 200 penalty to get out, I would still have my s3.

I hate Best Buy but couldn't resist their low prices so last year I bought 3 phones online. It work out good for me. Not only I end up paying for the phone much less than any other place, but also somehow I didn't have to buy a data plan with those purchases. I have a family plan and that did not change also.
Last week I tried to add fifth line to my plan and I had to add minimum $20 data to new phone so I'm not sure how it is now...

Long time - since there were Voicestream - probably 10 years.
I bought this phone from bestbuy in october since I was eligible for an upgrade and bestbuy had it for way cheaper than tmobile ever did. Only part of my plan that was suppose to change was my data plan but it never did actually change. I still have the same plan I had before purchasing the phone. No complaints
Thanks guys. Yeah its way cheaper than what Tmobile has it right now about 340 with the upgrade. You guys did it through the phone or in person. One rep I was speaking with told me that I can't get the phone in store because T-Mobile doesn't allow it? Is this true or just BS. I was going to get the blaze through T-Mobile but it was going to come out around 184 basically around same price I'm getting the s3 for through best buy.. Not a big Fan of the 4'7 screen but oh well.

Also any idea how much these guys will try to sell me their warranty for? Or do I get at least a 1 year warranty.

I actually did mine online and I had no problems. Bestbuy also gives you the option to add a warranty I think but I'm not to sure since I didn't get one
the issue to consider is that BB will sell you the 2 year plan, which continues the "subsidy" (we all know it's baked into the monthly price, RIGHT?) even after you pay of the phone. Consider a tmobile store - and a value plan, where there is more of an up front cost (possibly), but the value plan is a purchase of the phone as a transparent process, and when it's paid for (20 months?) you keep the phone, and the monthly price drops.
If you can do a "small buisiness" plan - go for that! $40 per month to 1000min and unlimited (5GB at 4G speed). $50 for unlimited/unlimited. Add $20 for phone, and stll cheapest way to go...
Merry Christmas

Yeah I notice customer reps actually are not bots too.. I spoke to a few they seem to be well acknowledge and actually have a soul lol.

Plus you get a free 1 year warranty for the stuff that's suppose to come for free, Like a defective unit .buying with T-Mobile you have to pay a monthly fee for that same coverage
