When the Note I came out Costco sold it for regular price with Flip Case and two Screen protectors. Does anyone know or have gotten the Note II
at Costco? If so does it come with same accessories? Haven't had a chance to make it down there to ask them.
I was told they are getting it near launch date. They already sent back original Note inventory. Accessories unknown but usually lame except for one OEM they include.

AT&T at Costco....
I was at Costco before as well, and noticed that the Kios/stand didn't have the AT&T phones anymore. I asked what happened, and they said they are no longer doing AT&T phone in the store, but will still do it online... I'm not sure if it's all Costco, or just in my region(Northwest)....
I asked about the Note 2 as well, and they were only able to answer for the carriers that had in the store..
I have not seen it online(haven't checked yet today) on the Costco site... so, just ended up pre-ordering from AT&T...
I work there...we still sell at&t phones and service through the with wireless advocates kiosk. I have no clue what the accessory bundle is going to be, but I'm pretty sure its going to be 279.99 or 289.99...we don't sell phones outright. Only new, upgrades, and add a line.

So, at least it's not all of Costco Kios that AT&T is pulling out of.. was hoping that they were still at the one in my area... as I liked getting the accessories as a bonus..
Do you know when it will go live online for order? I know when I ordered the SGSIII, I was able to pre-order it online.

I do know its only going to be for home delivery as of now. You'll be able to go online yourself or go to a kiosk and the employees there will order it for you. Kind of sucks, I understand why (note is still considered a niche category phone).

Unfortunatly, the person at that time stated that they couldn't order any AT&T phone at the Kios, and it has to be done only online, as they got rid of the AT&T display..
So, not sure what the story is.. haha... either way, I'm good with the online order from AT&T direct...
Thank you everyone for your input. I will be purchasing my phones from Costco from now on.

Depending on the type of account you have, they will honor the 14 or 30 day return. After that, 90 days for device swap for same device. Just an FYI for you. As long as you're not one to abuse this policy, they will help you anyway they can.
Only downside is they hardly ever have pre-orders. I've only seen the one s for tmo.

Can your guy inside confirm the lack of headphones in the box?
Also color options? White available?
He doesn't seem to be good at timely answers. My wife heard All stores are only getting 5 each and I asked him if it was true and its been half an hour ago and still no answer. I told him I need 2. I'll ask but can't promise timely answers.

I'd like to echo this sentiment. From what I've heard, from people's dealings with AT&T customer representatives, there's a thought that the white version will be available on Friday in stores. I really want the white version... so... can we get a yay or a nay?
Thanks!

I'm going to bring my box & phone on Fri to see if I can swap for a white one. If they do have it I hope they let me swap. I did pre-order through a CS Rep.

I will be at the store nearest me at 8:30 Friday morning to try and get one. I am *so tired* of getting the runaround by ATT reps. First the inability to preorder online, then the phone rep telling me there's nothing she could do and they had no idea, and to go talk to a store. One store telling me that I could come back in a few days and preorder it from them, then saying a few days later they didn't even have the SKU in the system. *Then* that same store told me I wouldn't have a hard time at all getting one, however, I called back yesterday and they said "We aren't getting very many, you might want to be here early." ARGH. This shouldn't be this frustrating.
Just checked att website says they have them in stock to purchase at my local att store in upper darby, pa!

My local store just call me to let me know they have more than enough in @ the Town Center Jacksonville, Fl. Too bad I got a really good deal via premier support by phone. They were going to give me the phone for 299 with some freebee's but was adding a line and just keeping with no phone/data on it. 9.99 a month...Premier CSR gave it to me same price and did an early upgrade (6 months early!). I'm happy.

Try this link: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/samsung/galaxy-note-ii-titanium-gray.html?source=IC0GM8014bT00a0lO# (copied it from the AT&T website after going to the Samsung Note II page). Under the "Add to cart" button there's a "check in-store availability" link.
This really sucks. I went to an at&t store and waited until they opened this morning. They had 5 galaxy notes for sale but they would not sell me once because I would not sign a new contract. I tried buying the phone for full price and they told me it could be over a month before they are able to sell the GN2 off contract. I called customer support who actually called the store because they couldn't believe they wouldn't sell it to me. Customer support ended up saying its up to the manager to decide if they have limited stock...blah blah blah.
Terrible customer service from at&t as usual. I don't know what to do about it now because even customer support would not let me order it from them directly on the phone. I have a business account with them so I am waiting to hear back from my company rep but this BS should be allowed to exist. I am literally willing to give them $650 + tax for a phone and they won't take my money. If it wasn't for my grandfathered unlimited data plan than I would think about leaving them. Does anyone have any similar experience or suggestions on how to make this happen for me? I really wanted to get a GN2.

I guess it could be up to the manager but why didnt you plan on hitting a few at&t stores, not just one? I'm sure others wouldnt mind taking your money.
I just went to T-Mobile's trade in program to see what I would get for my GS3. The T999 fetches a pretty penny - 225 bucks. On top of that, the "new" T999L only gets 190 and the Galaxy Note 2 gets 265. A 64GB iPhone 5 is 269.99 for comparison.
Looks like T-Mobile wants to buy back as many T999s as possible, probably anticipating an uptick in exchanges on the heels of the LTE model launching.
Interestingly enough, this is much better than their father's day trade-in deal for the iPhone since it applies to any phone. Something I'm thinking about but I don't have the cash to pay the down payment up front and I'm pretty sure you still have to pay up front if you go to the store as well (although I'm not sure, I haven't called).
Just thought I would post this since this is even more than what HTC was offering on their competitor trade-up offer!

You have to have the down payment as the trade in credit can take weeks to be processed. I was offered 225 as well. But I ended up selling mine while it was still hot for enough to out down for a note 2 for the wife and n4 for me. Got tired of the Samsung game.

I didn't realize they were still selling that high post-S4 and One release... That's kind of shocking if they're still selling that high, might consider putting mine on Craigslist and see if I can get 3 or 4 for it if that's the case!

Yeah that was my idea too. Seems kind of silly they can't just do a quick in-store inspection and give you your credit. All they have to do is power it up, make sure its not rooted, plug it into a USB charger, and check for damage. Wouldn't take more than 5 minutes total and would dramatically increase sales for T-Mobile if everyone knew they could trade in their phone - T-Mobile still makes a profit, gets new customers and upgrades old ones, and the best part is that it moves them closer to having everyone on LTE so HSPA can be phased out sooner or left for customers that don't care about their network speed.

That's all I saw of your post.
Just looked on eBay at recently sold phones... Average seems to be around 250 but mine is in MINT condition - hell one with a cracked screen sold for 250... The Titanium Grey is selling higher than the others (probably because its the rarest filtering by listing) which is what I happen to have. Prices are all over the place on Craigslist.
I've had eBay for years but never sold anything on there. Too bad my PayPal account got frozen or I'd consider it.
Still wish T-Mobile would just inspect it in the store though, much less of a hassle. lol. I suppose I can call them and see if they can just bill the phone to the account - we've had them for forever.

I had the same problem also. I had my sgs3 on cl for 2 weeks. No takers except for scammers. Just last year is get a couple hits within the first couple hours. Seems like no one can afford to fork out 350 . I ended up selling for 240. Just a little over what Tmobile offered me

If I had a regular SIM card I would just use my Samsung Captivate for a little bit while I sold my SGS3 (its really not a bad phone, hell LiquidSmooth 2.6 is even out for that old thing and I'm in a refarmed market to boot so I wouldn't lose 3G) but I don't so yeah.
It doesn't surprise me that people aren't biting on Craigslist. Although here in Denver that's how most people buy and sell things online, hardly anyone I know uses eBay for anything other than super rare stuff so who knows.
I think I'll have to talk to my roommate about billing it to the account if T-Mobile will let us... I don't know though, my S3 still does everything I need it to and I don't have any real issues with it, I just want something new. LMAO.

Have you checked Swappa. Here is the link. The recent sales are at the bottom $275 up. People are willing to pay more for some protection against blacklisted IMEI phones. Got my Note 2 there and had a reasonable experience.

If you have an older sim for your other phone you should be able to reactivate it. I've done it online before, or you can call or go to a store and they can do it for you.
Anyone have any idea what theyd give for my s3 with a cracked screen? Works perfectly and you can't see the cracks while its on, but something tells me they wouldn't give the full $225!

Unfortunately the Captivate is Samsung's Galaxy S I for at&t, I never had a full-size T-Mo SIM for it
They wouldn't give you 225 at T-Mobile but I saw one on eBay sell for 245... I would go to eBay and filter until you get your device and then select show sold only and see what they're selling for. Might surprise you.
EDIT: Damn frozen PayPal account - that's what Swappa uses for payment >_<
Any ways T-Mobile dropped that GS4 to $99 who cant afford $99? trade in your phone with tmobile and use it as credit to pay for the phone faster. I seen a lot of post of people saying that the s4 is not a big upgrade from the s3.. I played with one today at the store.. First time I played with an actual live show device. And I put my s3 next to it.. There is a huge different between these 2. If you see them side by side in person.. Now in pictures not so much

People on extremely fixed incomes can't afford 99 dollars. I'm fighting disability right now so I get 175 a month from the state of Colorado while I go through the long process with Social Security.
Oh and I fixed my PayPal account... I can't believe all I had to do was call and verify some information with them. If I had known that I would have done that back in October! So now I might just sell my GS3 and get an S4 or One. Torn between the two - don't like non-expandable storage but the One being able to run any ROM from at&t, T-Mo OR International is a HUGE plus to me.

That GS4 is able to run any rom from any carrier in the states and even the international! Go to any carrier s4 forum and you will see... One of the reason I would trade my s3 for the s4 in a heart bit because of it.... And you know samsung is faster than htc in updating phones.. So if a new update comes to the international you can flash it on any carrier us s4.. Witch is pretty cool in my part..

Okay well you just made my decision a ton easier, especially if the 99 down price point is T-Mobile's now standard pricing for the S4. I couldn't really see any other reason to get the One (I really like having an SD card and "Boom Sound" is nice but I found myself covering up the speakers anyway holding the phone in landscape) and with the 7500mAh Zero Lemon battery out for the S4, its kind of a no-brainer especially since it fixes the design flaw with the speaker on the S4 and shoots the sound out the sides.
I wasn't aware that you could flash any carrier ROM to the S4. Apparently that was just in the beginning of the launch then? Sweet!

Yeah people with the s4 are flashing international roms like crazy out of the box... But remember dont flash a rom with the modem witch now days none comes with a modem hehehe.. I played with one today and I really liked it.. I think I may get it and not wait for the note 3.. Really I like the note 2 and that 5'5 screen is big enough.. I Kinda think about it if i want a note 2 but rumors says the that note 3 will be 6'' screen.. I really dont think I will like it that much..
As we on the S3 we can port any carrier rom to ours but not international.. And look how long they been having 4.2.x roms. and we dont have a leak yet.. Flashing roms from international like on the s4 is priceless lol.. I really dont know why XDA had to split these forums.. And not make one. Like on the HTC Sensation.. It was one forum for all Sensations worldwide.
Not to mention that Samsung is MUCH more dev friendly than HTC. Since the One series it just seemed to me that HTC was trying to become too much like the icrap. Plus No expandable storage, no removable battery, locked bootloaders, etc.... any one of these is a deal killer in my book.

You run the risk of buying a stolen devices or from a person who has been delequent on payments. For this reason, I would personally not buy and always will never buy any cellphones from craigslist. I see too many horror stories. But if you insist on buying Id make sure to ask the right questions before you buy and test the device before paying

When I buy phone off Craig's I meet only at T-mobile store and have store clerks check with T-mobile Customer Service to make sure phone is paid off and not reported stolen, then I ask to notate my account that I am the owner of the phone now and it being paid for.
This way old owner has no legal right to claim it stolen, since he is right there present with me along with store of other witnesses.

Not If the imei is transferred to a different account. Also, if this is a concern you can get a signed sales record.
Plus AFAIK, they don't blacklist stolen phones anyway. There's been some pressure from government officials to make this happen. But I don't think there's been anything yet.

I bought a phone from CL, met at a TMobile location, ask them to transfer the IMEI to my line. so far so good??
No... I used the phone for a few month and one morning, no more network. I try my ATT SIM and it works. I call TMobile, they tell me I need to change the SIM what I do, still nothing. I send the phone to Samsung, they dont see any issue.
Call back to TMo, they tell me the phone was declared stolen and there is NOTHING I can do because I am not the original buyer!! a complete RIP-OFF.
The worst is that they wont take any responsability
At least ATT transfer the number to your account as long as you have the info of the previous owner so the phone really belongs to you while TMobile just say there is nothing they can do.
I first believe this blacklist system would be a great thing to avoid stolen phones, but the way it is implemented is so wrong that the only looser is the guy at the end of the food chain.
If you buy from CL, ALWAYS ask for the original receipt!!!! if they dont have it, it is fishy! and if you can have a bill of sale

Seems like some folks are claiming insurance fraud then selling the phones then the IMEI becomes black listed - very bad ethically and morally.
I personally have sold a few of my old iphones and more recently Galaxy S4 with no paperwork. The person checks it out it works give me cash and then bye bye. I try and prevent giving them my receipts or documents as they contain personal information on them. However I would show them it if asked.
Just curious why would some people sell their note 3 craigs list and not return it under the 14 days? Perhaps they have an upgrade and want to cash it out for a profit?

Yeah, they sell it for cash, but that doesn't make sense at all with T-Mobile now. Since you end up paying $700 for a phone. There is no point in selling it for $500 on craigslist unless you plan to commit fraud or whatever. Now, if it's contract like the other carriers, it makes sense and you can make a little bit of money.
All I can say is meet at the T-Mobile store and verify the phone is paid off. Then if possible (not sure if they would allow this) ask a T-Mo rep to make a note on the seller's account that the phone is being sold to your account and vice versa on your account. If the seller is okay with this, then it should give you a hint that he's a somewhat honest person, but anything can still happen. I say just buy the phone from T-Mobile, authorized retailer, or Newegg/Amazon.

Good points raised. I was going to return mine and get a craigs list used T mobile version, but it ain't worth the 200 dollar or less saving for me. Like you mentioned why would they sell the t mobile one when they can get their money back from store minus 50 perhaps.
Bought mine for 600 yesterday it was still sealed I love this phone so much!

You have to take precautions.
Have something in writing when buying or selling. Include the serial number and IMEI number then both sign it.
I have sold and bought a handful of phones with no problems. Yes I do consider myself lucky because stuff does happen.
Avoid PayPal and high check amount transactions. They are scams.
phones
I didn't know tmo had changed like this... I thought you could just pop in a sim card and be done... so now there like sprint and verizon with a id per phone?
Ya, I've seen several times, someone pays the initial down payment on a phone (or 0 down), sells the phone for full price, then defaults on the payment. The buyer usually doesn't find out for 3 months. Definitely meet at a store.

I ordered 2 of the gunmetal grey, as I opened up a new account through the comcast web site which their deal for new verizon account activation's is you get a $150.00 visa prepaid card which you do not need to have comcast service, nor do you have to buy comcast service, you only have to purchase new verizon service through them.
The offer lists you will receive the $150.00 visa prepaid card with in 6 weeks of activating your new verizon account.
They also have a $50.00 offer if you upgrade your verizon account to a new phone.
This is a great deal and with this my new m9 will only cost me $50.00 after receiving my $150.00 visa prepaid card.
The offer is good through a date in June so everyone has plenty of time if the m9's get on back order.
Just thought maybe this deal might help out a few people like it is helping me.
Here is a link for it.

I hit the buy it now on their site and it takes you to the verizon site to purchase its like the old verizon site but it works even lets you pick the first 3 digits of your new number along with your area code they just pick the last 4 digits, this is nice and the regular verizon site never lets you pick your new number they just give you whatever they want unless you call in or go to a corporate store but those ways the phones usually cost you more than on line and you wont get the $150 rebate visa card by calling in to verizon or going to a verizon store.
You can call the number to order on that site for the special or order by hitting buy now. I think the number only comes up on the site if your viewing it on a phone I think on a pc it does not show the phone number just the buy now part I do believe.
I look forward to getting my $150 prepaid visa rebate card.
what dos this have to do with the HTC M 9???
this fourm sould be moved or closed has it has nothing to do with the HTC M 9
Snow I really do not know why you are making such a big deal like do you not have anything better to do than complain about someone posting something that helps others save on getting a new m9 ? I mean like there are a lot of people that that $150 prepaid card would help.
And if we go by your philosophy your account lists your on a moto g so if your on a moto g why are you complaining about a post on the m9 forum when you dont even have one, on that basis maybe your post should be deleted or moved ????
Some of us are here and like to help others then I guess there are some here just to complain and try to put down others ????

Actually a moderator moved the post to here as I had it in questions and answers section.
I do believe it was Tony Stark, so contrary to your opinion apparently he thought it belonged here.
If you think your opinion is more important than a moderators on what DOES and does NOT belong in this forum then I suggest you take it up with him...

I got the same 2 day fed ex shipping that everyone else got so I received my gunmetal grey m9 on 4-10-15 It sat in Newark NJ for almost a whole day think verizon asked fed ex to not deliver them until the 10th if you got standard 2 day shipping.
I would not put that past verizon they would do that in a heartbeat...

This did not help forum If you have other topics please let me
I got a nice surprise in the mail lol. I had opened my new verizon service through the comcast web site because they had a offer for a $150 prepaid visa rebate card well I thought the $150 rebate prepaid visa card was only good for one line, any way I had opened 2 lines of service, one for myself and one for my girlfriend and they sent me a prepaid visa card for $300 I was only expecting $150 lol that was a welcomed sight lol.
So apparently the offer is not limit one rebate, lol.
Also offer listed you would receive the card with in 6 weeks of activating your device, and I activated mine on 4-10-15 so just over 3 weeks and its here so they are pretty quick getting them out and not waiting until the last minute to send them out.
So its a good deal by far and you can also trade in an old phone with the verizon device recyle program which I did also on both lines so I have a $200 credit coming from verizon sending in an evo 3d and a rezound both I have had laying around in a drawer just wasting away lol.
