[Q] Trade s3 to get the Note 2 before upgarde? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

So i currently have the s3, and i have been a huge fan of the note 2 and since the note 3 is available the note 2 is now cheaper. So my plan was to trade it in and see if they would allow me to trade. Is this possible without paying the full retail for the phone? And my upgrade isnt up until 2015 august 13 also im under sprint.

You will have to pay retail minus what ever you get for the trade, which likely isn't much..I'd try Craigslist. I recently traded my S3 plus $40 cash for a 3 month old Note 2.

Best Buy has Note II for $200 w/2 year contact.

If this isn't in right place, please do move it.
I had my new Note I for 44 days, decided they're not going to give Note I JB anytime soon, if ever, so I took it back Best Buy and got the Note II.
I paid $150 for Note I and extra $150 for the Note II.
Total cost with contract was $300.
(Note I is going for $100.
Then this weekend I saw that Best Buy had it on sale for $200 w/2year contact. So I went back and they gave me back $100. That sure made my day! It WILL go back up by this weekend.
That's how I got mine and sold my T.mobile to them ! Good riddence and glad to be back on AT&T.

Getting $100 in my pocket was GREAT!

Better jump on it TODAY as it's the last day for it before it goes back up to $300. In my case, I got a $100 back since I bought the Note II two weeks ago. That was a NICE surprise, getting a $100 back. I was happy to spend $300 as this phone is worth every penny!
I opened a new line to snag this GNII at Best Buy... my contract on my line isn't due until November. Ill gladly pay the $10 a month for the 'add a line's charge. Or pay ETF up front, its still less that the no-contract price.

They refunded me $100 since I got the Note II two weeks ago.
I wonder if I still qualify for the $50 gift card too?
Can't hurt to go down and ask...

I'm in a battle with them now because I bought mine on Sunday when the deal was introduced. The rep told me that I would be able to get it, but when I called back to ask about how I'll be receiving it they told me that I won't. They said because I ordered the phone before the 10th, I'm not eligible. So I called corporate. They sent me to mobile post customer support. And I finally got a case number.
The last guy told me that since Sunday, it has been a huge problem because 90% of the reps don't know how the deal works... So they have had a lot of angry customers. Hopefully I'll get the gift card. It would be nice to have the phone for $150 instead of $200, which is cheaper than the lowest I've seen which was on amazon in 2012 for 175.
The $50 gift card is to compensate those who missed the $100 discount.

First, do you homework on the deals... and let me make this clear... you've got to talk to the right person. Always. Reps, especially on the phone, will give you nothing. The ones working in the phone area will give you nothing. This is what they're taught to do. I ALWAYS talk to the service department and if I have to, the store manager. Never been turned down. Of course I have silver status, so that means I spend a lot of money at BB. They want to keep me happy.
I have silver status which gives me 45 days to return or change my mind.
I had the Note I for 42 which I paid $150 for it. Two weeks ago, I paid another $150 for the Note II. Now I got 45 more days. Then last weekend they refunded me $100 of that for the $199 deal at the time for the Note II, then yesterday, a $50 gift card that the floor guys didn't even know was going on.
The deal got sweeter today as the weekend special says this:
If you get a Samsung Phone with a two year contract, you get $100 off on select Samsung Notebooks.
Look online or get their deals ads when you go to the store.
Computers & Tablets : Samsung_Laptop_Tablet_Phone_Offer_103656 - Best Buy
Guess what... since I'm in my 45 day time frame, I got a Samsung Notebook w/$100 off today.
Am I saving money or what!!! :victory:
I essentially got mine free... I was having a problem with my Atrix 2. It was my third one in a year. The rep offered to sell me the note 2 for 299. I argued and complained and eventually got him to sell it to me for 150, including overnight shipping. The next day it didn't come. I called in and raised hell again and they gave me a 100 dollar credit on my bill for my inconvenience. The rep PROMISED me a Monday delivery. It didn't come today and the tracking info says it will be delivered on Wednesday. I called and raised hell again and they gave me a 50 dollar credit.
I have to wait for 2 more days to get it, but that ain't bad for a free note 2,

etf, 350 vs $240 for the line at 24 mos PLUS getting an additional upgrade. just add the line. i am gonna do it for a back up phone. get best free phone and sell it. (best buy's buy back was great for this) put chip into a $10 go phone. this should about cancel out the cost of the contract.
Go to Radio Shack $199 on att and they trade in phones as well. Plus you get people who actually know what they're talking about

From ATT Unilimieted data (BS throttling) to Tmobile unlimited..any feedback?

Unilimieted is german for Unlimited! LOL
Hi!
I have been on ATT for a long time and still have their unlimited data plan.
I was hoping for feedback on Tmobiles unlimted data plan.
I currently pay about $85 with taxes etc for my plan (and that is because of a $20 discount I get from work!) but as you may now, ATT BS Unlimited means that after 5GB my speed drops to about .5MB!
So I dont want to give any more money to such a BS Bullying company...so I was surprised to read about a $70 plan by Tmobile that offers NO speed drops.
Is this for real?
I was about to get a Note 3 by Tmobile to use on ATT (yeah because of another BS move by att locking the bootloader) and now I am thinking of just changing companies when my contract expires next year.
So any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks!
It's real.
There was a problem with speed some of us had, but they got it fixed. If you have good Tmobile coverage in your area, they are a good choice.
The only real reason to be on Att is if you don't get good coverage with t mobile. Other than that they are great. I am on their 2.5 gb plan because I am dirt poor

I went by their store today and I really liked what they are offering so I am going to check at work what kind of coverage coworkers get (work sucks for ATT mostly) and I am dropping ATT. I dont care if I have to pay $205 as I was told today to cancel early. I rather do that then pay for their ****ty service tactics for a whole extra year!
My Note 2 is unlocked so I should be able to use it with TMobile as well.
Thanks guys!

Oh yeah I am never close to that! My biggest was 12GB and I was in Puerto Rico on vacation so my phone was my internet at the time, but normally I am from 5 to 8GBs so yeah, I am for sure changing. Just need to decide if I end ATT early and pay the fee. Also if I keep the Note 2 I have and use it with Tmobile or sell it to try getting a Note 3..etc.
I ended att contract early due to their bs throttling and switched to tmob. Couldn't be happierr, just do it already .

Just not sure if I should sell my Note 2 and get the Note 3 from them using their payment plan thing which of course ends up paying a lot more for the phone than buying it used i guess, or just keep the Note 2 and use it with them. Guess that is all I need to figure out

Sell your Note 2 and just buy a "like-new" or new T-Mobile Note 3 off of eBay. That's what I did when I made the switch from AT&T over to T-Mobile.
I just bought another brand new S4 off of eBay for $455 and no tax. T-Mobile's full price is $600 (I just checked) but a few weeks ago when I bought it, it would have been like $650 from T-Mobile directly. I don't get why people would finance through T-Mobile and end up paying extra when you can buy the exact same thing on eBay (brand new) and easily save $150 - $200. Then you don't have that higher bill either. This is what I do each time I get a new phone. I sell the old one, and then I just pitch in the $150 - $200 required to get the newer/latest and greatest model.

Buying a T-Mobile phone off ebay is a risky option. You could end up buying a phone that was on the EIP plan and ends up not being paid by the seller/owner of the phone you just bought.
I ended up buying a N3 off EIP and will sell my current iphone to pay some of it off . Then I will pay off the rest of the balance in a month or two.
I have read some horror stories about blacklisted T-Mo phones that were sold to unsuspecting buyers. I was not going to risk it.
Well I normally just check the IME. Like one local seller was doing one cheap, checked the IMEI and it has not been paid fully so...no go for me
Eghh, I just buy brand new sealed phones off eBay. Check the IMEI then when it comes in. I've never had problems buying from reputable sellers on eBay.

[Q] Selling the gs3 to get the note 2 without waiting for contract to end?

I currently have the Samsung galaxy s3 and its in perfect condition literally mint condition. I am a huge fan of the note 2 and wanted to sell my galaxy s3 for at least 300 to 250 dollars so that i can purchase a note 2, but will i be able to do this without waiting for my contract to end? I prefer to take care of this at the best buy store rather than a sprint store, but if i must go into a sprint store then so be it. Thanks!!!

You will be able to do it, but you might have to pay,the amount you have to pay to end your contract depends on how much time you have left on it.

You can do that as long as someone on the account is eligable for a phone upgrade (new contract). Upgrade their line with the Note 2 then have Sprint swap the two phones so you can keep your same phone numbers but have traded phones. I did this when I got my S3.
Typical selling price for an S3 is $150 right now.

Free Note 8

Walked into AT&T today to buy the note 4. They gave me a free note 8 with the purchase. Anyone else do this?
They gave you one on contract or just a free tablet? I paid for my Note 4 full price and didn't get anything ..lol

I was offered some LG tablet for $.99. I didn't really pay much attention because it's actually $240.99 ($.99 + 24 x $10 a month). I guess either your deal or the one I was offered is decent for people looking for a small tablet or one that's LTE capable. I already have a cellular-equipped tablet. Neither of the tablets we're talking about are "fresh" and have at best mid-range specs. The Note 8 was launched in April of 2013.
I also got the free note 8.. free as in you buy a years worth of service for it also.. gave it to my gf.
My mom and dad also upgraded this weekend.. to new iphones.. they got a single ipad for themselves. They were offered 2.. took one because they didn't want to pay for 2 tablets worth of service..

Nice. Yeah I got the note 8 with a contract. I'm using it on my car audio system. Mounted it on dash. I'm kinda a SoundCloud whore and they also upped me to the 60gb plan for the price I was paying for the 30gb. (Have 8 devices on att)
That 'free' note 8 is not so free anymore if you have to sign up for another 2 year contract at $15 bucks a month.
24 x 15 = $360
It's $10 for 24 months and I like not having to fiddle with tethering.

But the thread title is misleading. You're paying AT&T an incremental $240 in mandatory service charges. And if the tablet gets lost, breaks, or you stop using it the service charges continue. I'm not saying that $240 isn't a good deal for some folks. It's just not "free."
I got my note 4 yesterday but nobody offer me anything like a free tablet. But as what you said is likely you have to pay about $10 month so isit really free?
We just switched to family share and the guy mentioned the tablet promo toe as well but again your paying for it over 2 years essentially. Of they had nicer tablets like Barry mentioned, say note 10 pro or whatever I'd be down. We also took advantage of the double data and are getting 30 GB for less than the 15gb plan with our discount.

Who is remaining on Samsung - Note 4 or 5? Discount for us too, please!

I am still using my Note 4 after returning Note 7. Had to shell out addition 70 bucks for a new case and glass screen protector. Hopefully it will get me through to Q1 2017 till I can see what Samsung comes up with then. I consider myself loyal to Samsung even if I didn't get the s7. I didn't go to some other company like many did. I had no way of knowing they would offer a huge discount on s8 (which I hope they do - sounds awesome!!!) and 2 years is a long time to bind yourself with a contract to using a dated phone. But, for our trouble, shouldn't we former Note 7 customers get a discount on s( or Note 8 as well? I mean those that didn't go on s7? Say yay if you agree hopefully some Samsung spy will se it .

I'm unsure still but most likely I'll end up with my old Note 4.
As for that discount, was that confirmed yet or still rumors? If rumors, don't count on it.. they're already offering people 100 bucks to step onto the S7, I doubt they're going to do another discount.
