OK so I have the opportunity to buy a wildfire s for $100. Is that a good deal and will it be worth it?
it is a good deal, very good one... but check why is it so cheap ... maybe he dropped it in toilet with ****, and then he dried it, and now its working but he just wants to get rid of it ... and no im not joking ... when buying the used phone, you never know. though it is a good price.
MetroPCS has them for $99.
Yea, right. -.-
I paid it 230e 4 months ago.
A second-hand phone? I don't know, a friend of mine got a Samsung Galaxy S II for 200 euro (don't know how much that is in US dollars), so if you wouldn't mind dishing out some extra cash, I wouldn't recommend it. Although if your phone-buying limit is only around 100$, I'd go for it

Maybe, but they come with a contract, so you end up paying lot more than you would for just the phone. I got mine with a contract though. It was free too. Now I'm paying 15 euro monthly for calls and internet

Wirefly’s Friends and Family site is now showing that new and existing Sprint subscribers can order the Galaxy S III for just $149.99, the lowest price seen to date, through the company’s Friends and Family site.

Just figured somebody like me may have been waiting for the price to drop a bit.
That's what I'm gonna pay for it at bb
remember Wirefly adds a second agreement... if you ok with that, $150 sounds great! Myself, I went with Costco online $175 after $25 mail-rebate, no extra agreements and90 day return policy.

So when we purchase the phone at Bestbuy they give us a $50 gift card on top of the phone freedom gift card? I can't find anything on Bestbuy's website that says that. Already signed up for the phone freedom promotion. Would love 50 more dollars.
Think I'm going to jump on this deal.
I was trying to hold out for a 32gb phone over the 16 but I just got a 64 gb SD card as well. Considering at this point it would cost another $100 to get the extra 16 gb, it just doesn't make much sense to wait, IMO.
Also, I can find nothing strange about the Wirefly agreement other than you have 14 days to return it to them if you don't like it as opposed to taking it back to a Sprint store.
What says yous?

I don't see it on the website either, but it is the same promotion they've been offering on the Evo LTE. This is what they offered me in-store. Not sure about online sales.
When ahead and got this deal. I should get $50 cash back from my bank as well.
That puts me at $100 for the device. It's a blue 16GB version. But for $150 less than a white 32GB version, I can live with it.
Even at $50 difference between the 16 and 32 it's just not worth it when you consider I just got a brand new SanDisk 64GB card for $50.
Their web site says they are shipping tomorrow, but I highly doubt that.
safe?
is wireflyfriends.com safe? I know of wirefly.com/autocontent.aspx?pageid=3586&referringdomain=wiredneirf, but the first one seems fishy. When you go to the checkout page, the site isn't secured, while the second one is. Sorry if I seem a bit paranoid.
I'm more concerned about this 'second agreement'.
can someone shed some light on that? Does it tack another agreement after this one or something?

I think you are talking about the fact that the phone needs to be connected on the same line for at least 6 months:
"By accepting the ISD, you agree to keep your account in good standing and keep your wireless plan and features as activated for at least 180 days.
You agree to repay $200 of this discount ($400 for smartphones, tablets, and netbooks) and authorize us to charge your credit card in repayment of this amount if, you signed up for a 2 year agreement and during the 181 days after your new equipment is activated, your carrier notifies us that the services you purchased have been suspended, disconnected, or deactivated, or if you return your purchase outside of the return and exchange provisions of our 14-day Satisfaction Guarantee.
Please note some of the reasons your carrier may notify us of a deactivation include if:
You transfer this equipment to another line of service after it is activated
You change your rate plan to a lower monthly service rate than was specifically required at the point of purchase
You deactivate texting/data features that were specifically required at the point of purchase
The new line of service activated with your order is used to replace a pre-existing account"
if only i had an upgrade :/

I know I'm getting the Note 3, it is just a matter of when. I dont necessarily want to pay $704 for a phone, but I just sold my Note 2 and am running on a basic phone (not fun). On one hand, i really would like a new phone to ensure quality but I also am okay with waiting a few weeks. Do you guys think I should just bite the bullet and buy it or wait a few weeks and pick up one from ebay, craigslist or swappa? Will prices even be that different after a few weeks? Thanks
I wouldn't buy from Craigslist or swappa. Too much risk. They work for one month, person stops making payments, then bad imei. If you do buy, go through reputable sources.

Because of the EIP, I would say T-Mobile (or any authorized stores) would be the safest place to buy. The used market is too risky now because of the EIP T-Mobile started.
But, I do have one suggestion if you do buy it off of Craigslist. Meet at a T-Mobile store and if it's possible, have a T-Mobile rep confirm that the specific phone has been paid off. If the seller is legit, then he would have no problems doing this for you.

Thanks guys, I think the best course of action would be to buy outright from T-Mobile, this way I know what exactly what I'm getting. I just cant get over that $704 price tag! I guess thats the price you pay for a quality phone. Appreciate the help!

It's unlocked which is great. The ones at the store will be Sim locked to TMobile. Don't now if there are any other differences. Negri has been around a long time and I would consider them a reputable company. They used to advertize on TWIT

Sign up for Jump and you can give back your phone and get another new one in 6 months. Any payments remaining on your old one go away and you start over with payments on the new one. That's why the zero down is a great deal. You won't be out the $199 down payment that some people paid if they pre-ordered before today. I believe Jump is only available on the Simple Choice plans. Not available if you're on Monthly 4G I think. It costs $10 per month and doubles as phone insurance also.

Yup. Technically its not even jump... Its just an upgrade.. They consider JUMP when you trade a phone in. Its either pay half of your phone off with the $10 a month add on and trade your phone in... Or just pay the phone off and upgrade. Either way works

ATT has really screwed around with their plans and phone upgrades.
They want to boost the "access" charge on the share plans and after you add up the price for the phone charge and the upcharge it's closing in on $975 to get the 64GB phone.

He can't report stolen because you have proof of purchase from PayPal. Swappa is checking if phone is under contract or not. If it is under contract you not allowed to post for sale. Read this : https://swappa.com/faq

I wouldn't worry too much on AT&T. They aren't like T-Mobile. If someone stops paying off a phone on AT&T, they don't blacklist the phone. Instead they ding the persons credit and go after them that way. T-Mobile does it different and will blacklist the phone.

If you want to pay full price, I would say go for t mobile note 5, cheaper and much better as bootloader unlocked, you have chance of getting root or flash rom for faster update.
If you still want at&t note 5, keep eye on bestbuy deals for samsung phones on at&t next plan, on this plan you have to pay for phone in installments over period you decide. In a similar deal at time of launch of note 5, I got $200 for trading in a smartphone (which I purchased on ebay for $30), $45 for getting the phone on at&t next and wireless charger as promo deal. I went for 30% downpayment ($222) + tax on full price ($59.2) and paid with gift cards I got and remaining 36.2 with my credit card. The rest $518, I am paying in installments over 28 months (Which I can pay anytime and get my device unlocked). Basically I got phone for $554, which was sweet deal for me. You will still have to pay $15 activation fee, which is $45 (I guess) for on contract phone.

I don't want to do any type of upgrade on my account. I went to upgrade my phones with ATT after fulfilling my last contract and I am getting all kinds of BS about upping the price of my current share plan. That's what started this is their "new" policies about not really providing subsidized phones anymore.

At&t next is different than getting phone on contract. Right now my phone is not on 2 year contract, I am paying $15 for line (and $80 for share data plan), if I have got it on contract that would have raised that to $40.
If you are on very old type of plan, those you can not get now then you shouldn't go with at&t next.

No. If you paid in full even from third party you own it. At&t is charging person who you purchased phone full price or remaining of balance on phone on next bill. I had exactly this situation. I purchase phone and ask at&t for unlocking sim card code. Phone was not paid in full and they did not want me to send it. Then I get my pay pal receipt and go to at&t store, present them that I purchase this phone from third party. They switch phone to my account and told me they will charge account that phone was buy on for remaining balance. I get my unlocking code two days later. They told me that phone is on my account and is paid in full according to my account.

Glad it worked out for you. Others have had different experiences, thus my questions.
Some people don't complete contract, report phone stolen, sell it, , IMEI/ESN is blacklisted.
