Question regarding "Charge to sprint account"

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I need help
I am eligible for the $75 upgrade and sprint agreed to credit the rest to make it so I get the 2 year upgrade price.
So in order to get a GS2 ($199) I beleive I would have to pay $375 upfront.
I'm short on cash and I'm wondering if I can charge the phone to my bill so I can pay for it at the end of the month.( I read this policy is about to change on oct 4th ).
Thanks

Yep but changes in a few days so better get on it, no longer can October 5th.

Thanks for the answer, still on the fence for the GS2.
I'm going to the store tomorrow and play with it for a while and hopefully make my decision.
Also sucks that sprint is screwing us over with so many changes recently :/

No one here can tell you if you can BTA. Call and ask.

It depends on account history from the start of the last time you singned up for the 2 year agreement to the date. If you've had many late payments and suspensions then they may deny you for the BTA.
They may be other factors, like there internal client score and more that can determine what's there answer going to be for you.

AT&T No Committment pricing?

Anyone know? $599, $699? Plan to pre-order at whatever the retail is.

Somewhere along those lines I believe.

Nope. I chatted with a rep earlier about it. No information posted online for them, and her scripts didn't say anything. She checked with a supervisor who confirmed that AT&T hadn't told them what the off-contract price would be.
I'm expecting $649-$699 for the 16GB version, but am prepared to go as high as $799 based on international prices for off-contract phones.

The rumor for tmo is $700, I figure att would be similar.

$649 is alright. Why not $549 or $599?

On TMobile's website it is $649,

Kinda hard to be "stoked" at the price but that's what I just paid for my T-mobile variant... Although it's not as bad as what a lot of people were paying for International N7100's but they just sold for $589.00 on Ebay so if I didn't have to pay tax I would have been a tad more "stoked"... Only on XDA will you hear someone say they were stoked about that price! LOL I am just messin with ya though cause I am glad it wasn't the $699.00 that I thought it was going to be...:laugh:

I tried to order one at no-commitment price, but even when you choose that option rather than 1-year or 2-year contract, it will not let you buy without choosing a plan. I cannot figure out how to buy just the phone from AT&T.

It gave me the "No commitment" option from the drop down menu. Just pre-ordered mine an hour ago. And to confirm again, yes $649. Ships overnight Nov. 6th.

If you've already got an account, log in and run it as an upgrade. Full retail is the only price you'll see, but it will stick to your current data and voice plans without prompting you to select a new one.
The rep I spoke to initially said to order the phone with a plan, then cancel that plan as soon as the phone arrives. Not sure I like that idea, as touching your plan at all could potentially take you off of unlimited data.

The Galaxy Not original was $849.99 So i would safely guess close to there.

I pre-ordered the Sammy G-note II from AT&T the first day available on the 25th and I paid $649 plus the tax of $39 and it is said that I will be getting it Nov. 6th to Nov. 9th.

You can usually get a early upgrade from AT&T if you call or stop in the store it's usually the price of the phone plus 250.00 would make the phone 549.99 and all you have to do is extend your current contract to get it.
Does not matter if you have no contract but if you do you should be good does not hurt to ask

Anyone know a good insurance to get with the phone. I kind of want to preorder from ATT now so i can get the phone at launch. But best buy's $10/mo insurance seems to be an unbeatable deal and i may end up waiting for them. I had a nightmare damage experience with my previous phone so i dont wanna get the note 2 without insurance
Seems like atts $200 deductible makes their insurance garbage.

This won't work for those of us trying to upgrade, however.
But I may try to print this out and take it to Best Buy and see if they will price match (not knowing that it's only for new customers).

Yes, Walmart usually is between $50 and $100 cheaper. I tried to upgrade to the Note II through them, but when I added it as an upgrade the system told me the quantity in my cart was more than allowed and kinda froze there. I don't know if it was a system glitch or what. But I assume you'll eventually be able to upgrade through Walmart.
Note, last time I upgraded through Walmart (to Galaxy S II) my data plan got removed all together. I had to call AT&T to get my grandfathered unlimited Data back. My recommendation is to call AT&T after any upgrade and make sure your plan has not changed. Upon upgrading to the not II through AT&T my $5 for 200 text messaging plan (no longer offered) was removed and I had not text capability at all. I had to call them get it back.

I purchased the Note 2 from ATT on Friday. Today I see that Walmart has it for 250, so I chatted with the ATT rep and got them to price match it and they will credit me $50 back into my account and got the activation fee waved as well. Only been with ATT for 2 days and I already like their CS. Good bye Sprint, you wont be missed

I didn't get that. It's like all businesses. They don't like to give much away lol

I bought mine last Friday adding a new line and paid 300.00 think I will give them a call and see if I can get something back since I have both notes hopefully I can get the 100.00 and activation fee back...

Ordered mine yesterday, be polite, tried 3 times, the last one I talked to tried to accomodate me, and I even requested the upgrade fee waived. And by the way, I am not yet due for an upgrade. so Early upgrade, note 2, and waived fee. I tried to have them match the S3 on Bestbuy and Samsclub, they said no and just go to the store on Black Friday.

I tried to price match T-Mobile at $49.00, called twice, second time to premier, no deal.
Got it for $199.00 on a 3rd call very easily, just said: "Look, the reason I'm calling is, a couple of friends on this enthusiast forum got a great deal for $199, what can you do for me?" She said she would talk to her manager, did it, and they accepted. Without me asking, they waivered activation fee and gave me free premier shipping, but it should be shipping on Tuesday only (asked for the White Note II).
So I'm very happy with this, can't wait. Hopefully before thanksgiving I'll have my new phone!

Got note 2 white 249 $ best buy mobile with code. Called att premium and they would not match this price. So they loose the sale and good will.
Best buy mobile ebay had the discount best buy mobile from site didn't. Only hitch I had to call for a closer store pickup.
They had an open box phone waiting at the store which I declined. To swap it for an unopened box they had to return the phone and discount the new one.
Bottom line they can do whatever they want only if they want to and you're nice to them.

Upgrading Through Insurance/ Extended Warrenty
I went to the Verizon store and asked a rep how i could upgrade my Incredible 4G to the HTC One, since my phone was cracked he told me I had to go through insurance and pay $100 deductable to get it replaced. Would this still be able to work with the Best Buy version??? I currently am due for an upgrade but I don't want to loose my Unlimited Data at the moment or shell out the full retail price for the One. And is the $50 deal only for new 2 yr contract?

I kept hemming and hawing for weeks about whether to get the One or S4. Seeing the price at BB clinched it. Wanted to continue with HTC. I had the Thunderbolt since it release. Thank goodness for root and developers. Now I wait patiently for root to be obtained without having to send my phone out to be s-off.

He meant he paid $150 too much. He bought it for $199 but now it's $50, so he could have saved $150.
I don't know about you, but I generally like saving $150 whenever I can.
Sent from my HTC One.

I like the seeing the price of phones go down, but I can't help but think that when a phone like the One drops to $50, people get the impression that HTC is not a good phone.
My wife has an s4 and my sister in law just got one. I told her she should have gotten the One and her response was "I'm not getting an HTC."
There are so many people that won't even touch an HTC phone, and I think it is because the carriers drop the price immediately so it looks like a failed product. I haven't checked, but I wouldn't be surprised if the S3 costs more than the One now. I am quite sure the Moto X and s4 will not drop in price anytime soon.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, that's exactly what I was saying.

Buy now or later?

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.

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.
