I'm looking to buy a sgs2 and I just wanted to see if there was any specifically good place where everyone buys them for cheap.
all I know is T-Mobile stores or calling customer service
thanks in advance
You can try Walmart stores. They will definitely be less than TMobile if they have them available. They don't have a restocking fee and have a 14 day return period. Also, Amazon is a good choice as well and will typically be less expensive if they have it in stock - http://wireless.amazon.com
Hope this helps.
Wireless Advocates inside Staples or Costco will have them on sale tomorrow and friday for only $179.99 +tax. So around $195 out the door!
Are those upgrade or new line prices?
I just checked Wal-Mart.com and they had it for 149.99 but it was for new T-Mobile customers. Upgrade was 199.99
I got mine from T-mo customer care.
Here is my price for upgrade.
Retail price $350.27 including sales tax, shipping, upgrade fee
minus 250.00 phone credit
Up front cost 100.27
minus 50.00 mail-in rebate (I'm not sure whether I will get it eventually or not)
Total cost $ 50.27
Besides, I got android preferred unlimited web for $20 monthly.
They charged me for UPS ground shipping, but actually they shipped it with UPS 3-day select. That was cool too!!
I think customer care is the best place if you are a long-time customer for them.
I've been with them for 6+ years.

No. Upfront is $529 - $250 makes it $279 - 50mir. Makes the phone $229.
Side note: Wal-Mart in the midwest still doesn't have them in stock.
I was wondering the same thing. I was checking out Amazon, but it's asking me what kind of data do I want, I already have it and it's cheaper so how would I go about overwriting that.
Can I just buy the phone w/o selecting what data I want?

Also check Wirefly if you are in CA. They do not charge sales tax (note it is based on the full price of the phone so around $50). They had a free activation last week but that is over now. If you have a BOA debit/credit card you can look for the additup.bankofamerica.com promo with Wirefly for an extra $50. Last I checked WF was selling new phones for $179 and upgrades for $199. Upgrades are hassle free on their website and allows you to keep grandfathered plans w/o calling a rep. Also can do single lines of a family plan.
If u have a fry's electronics around go there. They also price match. They were advertising for $250 but when the rep checked my total with the $18 upgrade fee was $158!!

I would always go with TMO stores. They seem to be the easiest to deal with if there any problems with the phone. Nothing better than being able to walk into a store and get an exchange on the spot.

It really all depends on how much you want to save versus convenience. For me, I'd rather save the extra $$$ and deal with return delays/wait if need be. I've ordered my last 2 phones through Amazon and never had any problems. Shipping was quick and free and the second phone needed an RMA which was all done free. Only hassle was being without a phone for a few days, but that's what backups are for and one of the reasons I am with T-Mo so I can just swap a sim card into another phone.
On the whole I'd prefer the T-Mo store too because they will give best service and of course if you need to return it's the least hassle and delay, but I don't want to pay $279 + tax and have to deal with a mail-in rebate when I can just order it online for $199 w/no tax and free shipping and no rebates to deal with.

So you bought the phone off contract for $189?
Happy Galaxy Nexus launch day in the US. Let's post where you got your GN and how much the store charge you (contract or no contract)
My brother got his @ local Verizon retailer store and it cost him $675 w/o tax (no contract).
local vzw store:
(contract) upgrade $249.
Just got home from Verizon in McDonough, Ga. Got mine for $250 after using my upgrade and jumping on a new 2 year plan.
I got 20 percent off my data package, 19 percent off my entire monthly bill, and 50 bucks off my phone when I bought an accessory, which made the entire package just under 300 bucks, tax included. I chose the extra battery with the charging cradle for it.
EDIT: Local corporate VZW store, they had one set aside for me per our phone conversations yesterday.
I got mine for $225 after new every two, plus living social $25 for $50. Bought 2100 MAH extended battery, haven't opened yet. $275 out the door for all after tax.
$249 From "Cellular Connection" in Fort Wayne, IN. They are a Verizon/Dish Network retail outlet.
Radioshack was $300, Regular Verizon stores were $300.
For those of you that got their phone from a Verizon store, for under the published $299 price, would you mind sharing how you did that?
I have a corporate discount, so I walked out of there with the phone and an extended battery for $265. It would have been $50 cheaper if I would have waited until the end of the contract, but i have a family plan and had an early upgrade and didn't want to wait.
Pittsburgh, PA downtown location of Verizon wireless. $249 upgrade price because of a $50 equipment discount due to my corporate rate.

corporate discount.
not a single person who was being ringed up at the time (about 5 others beside myself) paid the advertised price.
Let's talk selling them for $229.00 on contract.
Sent from the tip of my ThunderStick on a bolt of lightning.
Walmart has em for $229 but if for some reason you go to Best Buy, they will match Walmart's price.
Local VZW store. Was free for me, but my company paid $299.
Radioshack $299 on upgrade
I went in with full intention of paying full retail price (I'm only 8 month in to contract when I got my Thunderbolt in April).
Verizon Store manager kept saying "I hate selling phones for full price and without a contract".
He offered me to extend the contract (even at 8 months in) for $400 + tax. I said sure.
Also gave me the case/protector/charger package, a white plantronics bluetooth headset, and a HDMI cable. When the person assigned to me (not the manager) rang me up, he knocked off 50 bucks off the whole deal.
Walked out with a little over $400 including tax. I think I did okay considering I was gonna go in there paying full retail price + tax.
Troy, MI..got the phone for the $249 renewal price at a Verizon store. Got a Invisi-Shield from Best Buy, a 3-pc ****ty screen protector, extended battery for 50% off, incipio double case for 20% off (from verzion)

Got mine at the closest corporate store to me. Upgrade pricing + $50 discount, so $249.99

thought about doing the Let's Talk deal, but was scared off buy them possibly ****ing up my unlimited data plan..checked a bunch of forums and wasn't convinced Murphy's Law wasn't gonna pass me by. In the end, i'm happy I got a new phone in my hands today, and also was able to defer paying for it for another 28 days or so.
amazon has/had them for $150 today for an hour or so....dont know if they have em now

just press new to att at the bottom. Select the lumia 900 and your plan and cart will show $100 discount
Wow, they really are not ruining this one with the price.
I got the $100 dollar discount, but that discount didn't make it free. It brought the price down from $199.99 to $99.99. I think $200 is the intended retail price, but a $100 promotion bring the price down to $100.
It might be free for others, but thats the way it worked with my company discount.
Mine came out to $0 due after discount. I already got confirmation that the order was processed and sent to the warehouse for shipping
Can I take advantage of this if I am on Sprint and I would like to transfer my line to an existing AT&T plan with my family? I'm new to AT&T even if they aren't.
Cheapest place to buy via upgrade for Sprint???
I'm looking at Costco and it's currently $199.99 with $25 MIR (Free activation+shipping). The thing I have to consider is that I'm going to be using another phone line to upgrade, then putting it on my line. At some places (Letstalk.com, Amazon.com) they charge a separate ETF if that happens. So far, Bestbuy, Radioshack, and Costco are the only ones that'll allow me to do that with an upgrade ETF free.

Hey guys my girlfriend is finally looking for a new phone after getting the Samsung Vibrant a few years ago and has he heart set on this phone. Thing is that we are a little tight on a budget and trying to find the best price. So far I see Bestbuy at 179 and Wirefly at 199. Does anyone know of any other sites that might be cheaper? If this was posted in the wrong place I appologize and will move it to another forum. Thanks guys!
I got my S3 from T-mobile retentions department, I have been with them 9 years. I simply told them I have seen the S3 cheaper other places and would like from them to make me a deal. I got the S3 for $186 with a $100 credit on my account and the $50 mail-in rebate. When it is all said and done I will have paid around $70 with taxes and activation fee.
Costco's also has the Sgs 3 for 179 for the white and blue 16g, you have to have a membership or know someone that does. Bestbuy is a good bet.

I just ordered the S3 16 gb thru customer service this morning. Paid $179.99 + tax and have $50 mail in rebate. Will get the phone next week. Asked her about the $99.99 price on the website, she said that one only for new customers and it is web-only price.
On T-Mobile's website the S3 is $99 for 16GB an $149 for 32GB with a mail in rebate
