Buying Note 4 for Full Price from Best Buy? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4

I'm thinking about buying a Note 4 from Best Buy for the full price (also known as replacement device on Best Buy's website). I noticed you don't have to sign up for AT&T when purchasing the device online from Best Buy. Does anyone have any experience purchasing phones from Best Buy online?

Yes. Pretry straight forward. Anything specific you want to know?

Would Best Buy price match for a Sprint or Verizon Note 2?

It's on Amazon Wireless for $99 on Sprint and Verizon. Would Best Buy price match that for an AT&T Note 2? Anyone have any experience? Thanks.
Probably not, usually they only match stores that have a physical location in the area. So no online retailers.

it never hurts to try... iI would suggest you go there, ask politely, then if denied, argue politely. All in all, the money isn't made by the phone but on the contract, the service plan, and the accessories they attach at the point of sale.
Yes they price match amazon. I bought my note 2 at bestbuy when amazon had it for $174

Yep, they sure do! Just got my note 2 Friday from a price match online. They'll do both, I specifically asked in store when I was there (in store or online)
For the "yes they will", are you people confirming that best buy will price match Sprint and Verizon prices for Att's note 2?

Yes.
I got mine for $99 on Saturday from Best Buy as an upgrade on my AT&T account.
I had to show proof that AT&T would price match Amazon's Verizon price before they would do it.
I used someone else's receipt posted on another site.
If they give you trouble, let me know and I will post a copy of my receipt where my local Best Buy price matched.
Would you mind posting the receipt? Thanks
Yes they will. Done it for a bunch of items off amazon

All you have to do is go to Best Buy's price matching terms & conditions. Read it. They routinely change it & have for sometime been testing different on-line retailers in different regions for price match as well. Tiger Direct, Newegg & several others are listed. I am not sure about Amazon Wireless, but Amazon very well could be one of the online retailers they do officially price match.
I showed them an add on my device, they looked it up themselves to confirm & bam...Proce match - my rewards cert.
Thanks guys.

yeah, no problem!
I will tonight when I get off work. The receipt is at home.
I work for Best Buy Mobile and we pricematch Amazon Wireless all the time. Thing is the $99 is for a Sprint NEW customer not a Upgrade the Upgrade price is $199.99. If they pricematch $99.99 for an upgrade they aren't doing their job lol.

They are doing it right...the price match is against AT&T, not Sprint.
AT&T's online store is price matching Amazon, and in turn we are getting Best Buy to price match AT&T.
There is an article discussing this on slickdeals but I can not post the link due to my low post count.

This means zero. Trust me they're doing it wrong, am I doubting some random store did it for you? No, but I'm telling you they price matched the New 2 Year agreement price and will get hit for it in some way or another. Not to mention it was a different carrier. Pricing and agreements are different with all carriers especially Verizon, we have to get special permission to even put things on sale with certain carriers because like 100% of the time were cheaper than the carrier stores. AT&T can price match whatever they want they're AT&T they can do whatever they want because they're the ones that make the rules lol.
Anyways grats on your pricematch it's a sickphone

Dude i have placed a order on Ebay for 32gb four days ago, currently the listing is finish, below is the link, with adding coupon i have it for Rs.21350/-
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Google-Nexus...40308?pt=IN_iPads_Tablets&hash=item1c35210374
hey guys, is $229 for the 16 gig model the before tax or after tax cost of the Nexus 7 in USA ? I just wanted to know the exact price difference in ordering from Ebay vis-a-vis having someone get it from US...
Do you get india warranty when u buy from ebay or amazon?
Hey people, I ordered a nexus 7 16gb wifi only, on 2nd august, and it'd be arriving either tomorrow or day after tomorrow.
There's this seller called TabIndia on eBay.
I got it for 17500/- ($288) which is the cheapest you can get. The seller is trusted, and really nice to talk to. For getting a discount of 1500 (instead of buying it at 19000 through PaisaPay by eBay), you need to deposit the money in his account and he'd send you the tablet.
Of course, it sounds like a Scam, but I did it, and the seller is trustable. He owns a nice shop and you could just check out his eBay Reviews.
you could mail him @ [email protected] if you wish to buy with certain discount.
He was selling 32gb at 20,500 AFAIK.
I'm really worried about screenguard since I don't have any. I ordered XtremeGuard but that'd take like 20 days more to arrive.
Any suggestions for the same? I have a neoprene sleeve which'd work for nexus 7 2 though.
Warranty ?
Am also considering getting one for me from USA as one of my relative is due to arrive next weekend, Can anyone here using NN7 in India tell about Warranty ?
Will we get warranty in India by ASUS ?

Check the contract terms where you buy it. Maybe it got international warranty or just limited.

Its before tax. I bought a 32 GB model from BestBuy. Price came to around $290 ($269 + taxes). I think Amazon doesn't charge any taxes.
I am waiting for it appear in Play Store India so that I can order one for my parents. But considering people are shipping from US, I am thinking of doing the same. Anybody has experience in how I can ship to India after buying from here?

Sorry if my wording was not clear. What I meant was this - I am in US now. So, I was wondering if anybody had any experience buying it from US and shipping it to India? Other posters, I believe, were talking about ordering them from India.

Well if you are in the US, just buy one and send via your trusted parcel service, e. G. DHL, should be not a problem, not sure about Indian import tax tough, I had to pay 7 percent over here.

Ask tax form from seller. When item leave the country, immigration must pay you back to your account.

[Q] ATT and Samsung promotion, Best buy trade-in ?

I have a question. I am thinking to buy the Note 4 in the following manner
1) Pre-order the Note 4 on ATT website by selecting ATT Next 12 and adding a new line (this makes me eligible for a $100 credit )
2) Trade-in my old iPhone 4S at Bestbuy (value shown is around $40)
3) The difference amount i.e (200-40=160$) will be paid by Samsung ?
In this way I am having a savings of $300. Am I missing something here ? Please help
Thank You
Needs to be traded to the retailer where you're preordering
Does it state that in the fine print? Anyways AT&T is giving me 0 value for my 4S whereas bestbuy is offering me atleast 40$. So i am really confused what to do. I can't order from Bestbuy as Store pickup is required.

"Store pickup is required"??? Where are you getting your information from? When I have attempted to pre-order from Best Buy, I am told the pre-orders can only be SHIPPED to my home. There is no store pickup option. I know this because I actually prefer store pickup for my circumstances, but Best Buy will not give the option if you pre-order online. Now, if you go into a store and do it... that's another issue.

Yes. Looks like you have the proper steps as outlined here https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/Note4/
As long as Best Buy is an official trade in site...although I believe Sprint offers a little more in trade-in value. Which if it is the same Iphone 4S at AT&T listed here https://secure.sprintbuyback.com/cns/device_list...it is worth $202. Or it looks like it is worth $100 to AT&T...then you would only be waiting on $100 check from Samsung.
Best buy has a "deal" going on now.trade in any "working" smart phone get $200 on preorder note 4.
I'm on att.didn't ask if att deal only.
Preorder for $50 (get gift card to use toward perchase).minus $200 for used phone = $250 off $299 att note 4.waiting for phone to come in.
Will see if legit or just blowing smoke.ordered phone 10/19.

This is legit, traded in a prepay cheap Windows phone I had laying around and got the $200 gift card plus an extra $50 bucks for signing up in the early part of the year promising to upgrade through best buy. Put the whole gift card towards my pre-order of the nexus 9 ?
Preordered my att note 4 from best buy 10/18.picked it up 10/25 at store.put $50 down.they gave me gift card to use toward purchase.at time of p/u,I gave them a used galaxy S2(i777).they gave me $200 toward purchase of note 4.that gave me $250 toward the $299 note 4.after taxes it was $73+ I paid them.waiting to see if there is any fees beside activation thru att.this was a standard 2 year upgrade.
no trouble with my trade-in phone.
no questions asked.it turned on.they checked numbers to make sure it wasn't stolen.and that was it.I bought that phone with broke screen and bad charge port.fixed both.used couple a couple of weeks.
overall good experience.
now to see how well the note 4 does.

Damn I turned in two iPhone to att for the note 4 wonder If I can complain to att and have them price match or match this offer as close as possible. .
Go to that store,see if they are doing that deal.if so raise hell,tell them you want to return phone.get your money back go to different store.
I could only trade in 1 phone according to them.
I think that deal is nation wide.And I don't think they franchise.

Is the $200 trade in at Best Buy only effective beginning on October 17

I just came back from Best Buy and the sale representative told me to come back on 10/17 to trade in any working smart phone to get a$200 Best Buy gift card. Is this true? Do I have to wait another 10 days to do this?

Yes it is only effective up till the day of the release. So what i would recommend doing is pre-ordering it since this is required to get the $200 gift card. Then when you pick up the pre-order you will get a $200 gift card.
I plan to get the Verizon model. So if I come in on October 18, I would not be able to get that $200 deal of trading in an old smart phone?

From Samsung rebate program:
"Smart Samsung Phone.
Brilliant Friends and Family Deal.
Get a Guaranteed Total Trade-In of $200* on Any Working Smartphone.
Preorder the Samsung Galaxy Note® 4 from any carrier or retailer in the U.S. now through 10/16 (Verizon customers through 10/22)."
Im interested in this promotion as well, but not if it is only for a $200 Best Buy gc. The promo made it sound like Samsung cuts you a check for $200.
I wanted to use Best Buy since they will give me $10 for my Thunderbolt (the minimum required to qualify). Is there a way to do this and get cash instead of the gc? Thanks!

The phone is going to cost you $299. You use the gift card toward the phone. You still have to pay the difference. You'll walk away with $99 less cash either way.
There is no "minimum" value on the smart phone you are trading in to qualify with using the Best Buy trade in promotion when you preorder the note 4. Preorders must be done by october16th. They will take ANY working smartphone that does not have a cracked screen, water damage and must be able to turn on.
The samsung promotion does require that you trade in a smart phone that is worth $10+ to a authorized retailer (amazon, verizon store, att store etc).
Hope this helps
My apologies if this has been answered already, but if we have already preordered from best buy can i still go in and trade in a phone for the $200 rebate?

Yes, you just have to wait until the phones are in stock(released) before you can to the "special" trade-in.

Can we trade in a rooted phone with a custom ROM? I really don't feel like figuring out how to restore a 4 or 5 year old phone.
I don't see any language in the promotion that it can't be modified or anything. My guess, is they care less if it is rooted or has a custom ROM.
I wouldn't worry about it.
So does this deal mean you have to sign a new contract? I'm with Verizon on grandfather plan with a note 3 so would I be able to get the note 4 without a new contract

Question I want to buy refurbished Google pixel 6.

Hi, I am looking to buy google pixel 6. some of my friends suggest me to buy refurb mobile from Wise Market Australia. can you please guide me about the best place to buy refurb mobile in Australia?
I personally would recommend Swappa to buy used phones. But I don't think this is the best place to ask for that kind of help.
