hi everyone,
i plan to get the red s3 from craigslist, but i have tmobile service, but there is currently no available tmobile modem to flash on the att s3. so im planning to get an att prepaid sim, i see online that its 50 bucks, but the terms and conditions state that if its a smart phone, i will have to pay 25 extra for 1gb data? so if i dont pay extra, ill have edge? is there a work around for this?
I'm just curious as to which company everyone will be getting their GNote2 on? I am undecided between AT&T and Big Red (Verizon). I know Verizon will have bootlock GNote2, but Im sure someone will figure out around it. My mane concern is service, data speeds... Who do you think has the best... Sprint and T-Mobile are not even an option for me.
Thanks

1st Verizon
2nd T-Mobile
Sprint - Came from there and not going back.
AT&T - Unethical company that's always leading the industry with ripping off consumers.

i'm excited myself.... its so close yet so far away
Verizon then T-Mobile. Right now I have unlimited data and I buy my devices outright anyway... So the speeds here Verizon > T-Mobile. 60mbps vs. 8mbps.
Getting mine through Sprint!

I'm currently on AT&T, and have been for 4 years or so. My plan is up in Feb, but I'm really looking forward to the Note 2, so if they don't allow me to early upgrade, I may just eat the ETF, and look around for a different carrier. I'd like to pay a little less than the 98 a month i'm paying now for unlimited data + 450 minutes +1500 text. It's murdering me.
Do you guys think it would be worth it to buy the phone un-subsidized and go to a cheap plan? I see people mentioning stuff like 50 a month unlimited data and stuff... That blows my mind.

That would be me, but no it's a plan they no longer offer. If they axe my plan I will probably switch too. But apparently I'm pretty tick off about Verizon CFO right now about the "Unlimited is just a word" thing.

I did that with the og note. would do it again but can't afford it outright again this time. If you can afford it I recommend it

T-Mobile for me, I've always gotten good service and low prices for my plans from them.
I will be getting this beast on the Yellow network...
Im currently on the tmobile $30 plan - and after going all in with google voice it's been great. I'll probably stick with tmobile and either get the international note 2 or the tmobile version (as i think it'll be a pentaband phone)
I currently have the note and service with AT&T... I left sprint to get this phone and I won't get anything else if it's not the note 2 or 3...
I will be paying the ETF on AT&T and head over to Verizon.... AT&T doesn't provide LTE in my area and Verizon does...
Just a bit of information on someone that don't currently have the note.... You will be using this phone for pretty much everything... So for that reason I would advise you guys to look into your areas and go with a provider that offers LTE..... Only if you can afford it.... I stream pretty much anything I want.. Movies, sports, using slingbox as well and the big screen is just amazing to watch these things...
So there you have it... Don't get discourage on the screen size.... At first you will be like, what did I do? But believe me, after a coupe of days you will not put it down.....

Getting mine on Sprint!
Not sure. I was planning to just upgrade on my ATT line; since I have unlimited data. But T-Mobile is looking very appealing. I'm such a noob to android though. I'm wondering if one will have more development than the other.
sticking with UK vodafine in the UK, I've got 12 months laft on my existing note contract, they said they would offer me the note 2 at £280, my mates offered me the same for my note, so thats a no brainer really. Although I cant actually order until Monday 01/10/2012.
I'll let you guys know when its in my hand!
What colour are people going for, im gonna get the dark one, I'm just not a fan of white electronic devices, its all a bit poser'ish pour moi.
:laugh:

Going with the grey for sure. Never did like white as well. Wish it was Satin Black though, maybe matte.
AT&T for me. Been with them since 1997 so I have unlimited data. Best LTE network I have seen in Texas. (Have Verizon for work). I get a great corporate discount on my rate plan so I cannot wait for the GN2!
Titanium Grey for me. Never had a white phone and see no reason to start now.
Okay guys I have a dilemma that I've been thinking over. I currently have a Galaxy S3 with AT&T and im looking to buy a Galaxy Note 2. The thing is my wife has a iPhone 4(yes...I know...-.-) with Verizon and is looking to get a new phone and i also wanted us to be on the same plan and carrier.
Well I've been on AT&T since July of 2012 and she's been on Verizon since June of 2010. So of course the ETF for her would be way cheaper. But I'm really looking to switch back to Verizon. The issue is if I go to Verizon, I would pay my ETF for at&t and her ETF since she's on a plan with her mom. I would pay...say $270 for at&t ETF and $170 verizon ETF plus the new phone fees for a note 2 and iPhone 5 for the wife.....depending on what phone she wants. So an extra $500 with the ETFs. That makes it $940 to go to Verizon.
Now to stay with AT&T I'd pay $170 for Verizon ETF on my wife plus new phone fees. AT&T Note 2 would be about $580 - $650 on craigslist/swappa and say $200 for wife's new phone. That makes it around $1000 to stay with AT&T.
Now....a few REALLY important questions that I have for you guys. If I move my wife's secondary Verizon plan that has unlimited data BTW....to another Verizon new customer plan with two lines total.....do you think they wouldn't charge me an ETF for moving her from plan to plan? I mean its kinda making them more money. One by taking her off unlimited data and two by starting a new plan and adding two lines with new phones.
Another question....I know its kinda long guys....my apologies. If I stay with AT&T and buy a note 2 off swappa/craigslist/eBay....how do I place the phone under phone insurance? I currently have my at&t galaxy s3 under best buy mobile insurance. I don't think its possible to swap the insurance to another phone especially if its not bought brand new. I also did some research on adding at&t insurance but it seems that you can only add it 30 days after buying the phone new. I'd hate to have an awesome phone with no insurance on it. So any suggestions on what to do about that would help a lot.
I know its a lot to answer but I would appreciate as much information you guys can give me. Thanks

I have been with AT&T for years. Two lines grandfathered unlimited and the other two I have to pay for data. Today Verizon came out with unlimted. I have a couple tablets on a Verizon plan and want to now switch my phone plan to Verizon and have unlimited for everyone. AT&T's service has been getting very bad for me over the last several years. Constant dropped calls and even though I have unlimited data, the signal is so bad I sometimes can't use it.
I am I die-hard Note fan. I had the first Note, the Note 2 and now the Note 4. On AT&T, I had to buy an outright 910C to be able to use AT&T. I am an engineer and must have rooted phones for some of the things I use. I refuse to use Note 5 for lack of sd card. I was so disappointed when the Note 7 failed. I use my stylus all the time so I really don't want to switch from a Note 4.
I am trying to figure out which variant of the Note 4 I need to work on Verizon's network. I know for a long time, Verizon's was un-rootable just like AT&T. Can someone point me to what I need to buy? Even if there is a Verizon version that is now rootable and that I can buy.
I've been researching most of the day today, but figured I would go ahead and ask since someone could probably more easily give me a definitive answer.
Thanks everyone!
