are they still letting people buy out their contract for a earlier upgrade I saw a chart on that before and it was a lot cheaper

The GS3 has been out for 3 months?
So your ETF is $350. Then you pay $200 for the Note 2. Overall cost of ETF + device = $550. Then add in the hassle of having to time it in your current billing cycle and dealing with customer support, etc.
I don't know how much it'll cost outright, but it may be close to costing the same. And probably easier.
The buyout program they offered last year is over and they are not currently offering anything similar
Anyone can pay the ETF and terminate their current contract; that doesn't take a special program. But then you have to sign up for a new contract which allows you to get another phone at the subsidized price BUT the kicker is, you lose your original phone number. I followed this up extensively at one point because I was considering going this route as my current line ETF is only $50.
Now if retaining your phone number isn't important to you then this might be a good route to take.

I walked into a T-Mobile store and the store manager confirmed that tomorrow I will be able to buy my Galaxy Note 2. The store did not have a display model and they only recived 3units for sale. Two of them being white. However, the manager did place the grey model on hold for me for only $5 down. I'm ditching my Galaxy S3. Hope this helps the T-Mobile buyers...

$249.99 on T-Mobile? That must be value plan...the value plan you are buying the phone outright and paying per month. The classic plan is just like all of the other carriers. T-mobile is really pushing their value plans.
Value is better priced any way you look at it.

Phones purchased on value plans will also be blacklisted if you don't pay your bill. There was a big scam a while ago with that. That is why if you purchase a T-Mobile phone second hand, you should call T-mobile with the IMEI to make sure it wasn't purchased on a value plan.
ok so here is my deal. I have the t mobile galaxy s3 which i bought less than 2 weeks ago and now I want the note 2. I paid 470 for the white s3 as it was used but it was very well maintained (looks new). The reason ipaid so much for it was because im not in a contract. Im using simple mobile which basically im getting t-mobile service (yes even 4g 42.2) for 50 bucks a month (minus insurance but even under a contract never bothered as i always got good cases). What would you suggest i do? I was thinking of selling the S3 for 430ish USD and put the rest on a note (hopefully i wont have to pull any more than 100 from pocket). Let me know what do you suggest

I spoke to customer service and the off contract price is $700+. I really don't see a situation where you will be able to come $100 out of pocket and get the Note 2 without signing a contract...

No, I have a full upgrade available. But they didn't have the upgrade price today and told me the retail which was $700 plus tax.
ugh...$700 is a very hard pill to swallow. debating if i should wait it out or pick one up now if thats the price...im not due for an upgrade until next june.
I guess ill keep my S3. Price is a little too much. Thanks a lot though!
You could always sell the GS3 and come out a little more than $100 out of pocket. If you sell the GS3 for $450, you can get an international note on Ebay for around $550. Pop in a straight talk sim (either AT&T or T-mobile service) and pay $45 a month for unlimited everything.

I've been obsessively monitoring the TMO News website for the last couple weeks (OK, maybe longer than that - I really want a Note 2). Anyway, they have the leaked pricing information and updates on availability, etc. http://www.tmonews.com/

I was thinking in doing that but the international one doesnt support 42.2 HSPA+ on t mobile. I dont want to go straight talk because it doesnt have the t mobile 3g frequencies (correct me if im wrong) but it definitely doesnt have the 42.2 radio. Right now im getting 18 down and 2 up on simple mobile. If i go at%t, i know my data will only go as far as 5mbps at its best. The radios are the issue. If the international supported 42.2mbps, ill definitely have no problem getting it

As you all know Verizon Edge is only for customers who have an upgrade available or new customers. Today while trying to upgrade one of my devices online ( note I don't have an upgrade available until next year), it let me buy the HTC One with the edge upgrade plan. I'm not sure if this is a glitch or if it's supposed to be that way. But I thought I would inform you guys.

I wish there was a way that Edge could charge a credit card instead of the account for the monthly payments.
While I am an account manager and can do almost whatever I want, I am not the owner and do not "directly" pay the bills.
I'm on unlimited data still and I am not available for upgrade. I selected upgrade at full retail, then selected the $25 pay option. I tried this out and I was able get any phone under the EDGE pay plan. I chose to purchase with a plan and it allowed me to keep my unlimited data and current plan. It will add the $25 to your account every month and you will also have to pay the 1st payment and upgrade fee at check out. It was $58.22 for me due today. At the last second I decided to not finish the purchase.

I'm not eligible for an upgrade, was able to pay full retail for my phone over 24 payments (NOT EDGE) and keep unlimited data, as well as not re-up the contract for another two years (my original upgrade date stayed the same [sometime in 2014]). This is a pretty big hole, I'd imagine they'll be correcting this soon and making into something of an "early EDGE" upgrade as opposed to what it is now.

Are you sure you didn't get the Device Payment Plan. That is seperate from Edge and allows you to pay off a retail device over 12 months for $2 charge a month and lets you keep unlimited. Its been around for a few months.

I'm not sure what it was called but sounds about right, I know it wasn't Edge.
Still a pretty big hole though. Had they thought of it/seen this hole they could of called what they had given me a "courtesy" Edge upgrade - I still would have paid full price, then I would have lost unlimited data and been tied down for another two years.

Not really a hole. Its a plan they advertised that allowed you to keep unlimited. Its just a higher payment than the Edge plan. I assumed the Edge plan was going to replace this Payment Plan but for the time being they are keeping them separate.

Yes it does. If you don't have an upgrade available you could be seen as breaching your service contract. I've seen similar things happen in my line of work. Its possible for sure don't think it isn't. These people aren't new customers they're existing ones who are changing their contracts over to edge without have a legal exit to their current contract.

It wouldn't hold up. The contract wasn't cancelled. These people who are doing it still have a line of service. You can't get charged an ETF without actually terminating a line.
Any word on when we'll be able to pre-order? I already signed up on the info/promotion page but what about actual pre-orders?
I'm thinking some time after the contest is over. The contest ends on 9/15 but the winners aren't announced until 9/18. So lets say you won but you won't know until 9/18 and you placed a pre-order on or after 9/15( if it was open ). Then you would be stuck with 2 phones and that doesn't make sense because then you will want to cancel your pre-order if you won. So I'm thinking after this whole contest thing blows over on 9/18 is when pre-orders open. But its anyone's guess lol
edit: After re-reading the email they send you, it says "If you are one of five lucky winners, we'll notify you by 9/18/13." So I think sometime after 9/15 definitely.

That depends on the delivery company (UPS, FedEx, etc) and your (highly specific) location. Those variables are out of our hands - The only way you could hope to make a guess is if you knew which company T-Mobile is using.

correct me if im wrong, but Negri doesn't offer Warranty for the phone outright. You have to purchase an additional $99 or $129 plan
Since I'm going prepaid, I'm just going to visit a T-mobile store and pay full price, rather than pre-ordering for the online store. It's better that way because you aren't forced into a credit check and a plan (if your a new customer like me) when you only want the phone.

i'm definitely jumping ship. With two lines (me and my wife), the bill will be cut in half if we unlock our current phones and move them over to TMO.
I believe you'll have to trade in your current device(s) if they pay off your handset fee(s).

i'm gonna check on this to be sure.
edit: you are right. oh well, still saves us money by switching.
I've also been thinking of jumping ship to T-Mobile. At&t hasn't done much for me so I'll see how T-Mobile is.

only concern is service but TMO has really increased their service quality (at least in my area) over the last few years.

Yah that's what I've been worried about it but that is true. If I remember correctly, t-mobile puts more bloatware on their phones though. I also heard details about the T-Mobile $650 buy off deal. T-Mobile pays off your lines from the other carrier but T-Mobile also buys off your phones for a certain price. Then you'll need to buy a phone off them for full retail price to cover all the costs. I don't believe it's completely true though since I didn't receive this from T-Mobile themselves

So what your telling me is, I can call up T-mobile and they will pay off my AT&T next contract in order for me to switch to them? Does this mean that I will have to buy a phone and plan or can I buy just a phone. I would buy a t-mobile note 4 to use on AT&T but I don't want to switch to a T-mobile phone and service plan. Basically what I am asking is weather or not I can use this program to get a t-mobile note 4 and not a t-mobile plan so I can still use AT&T service.
From how it was explained to me at the store.
They will pay off your device (up to $650 per line) and your contract if you have your att # ported to tmobile. Then you give them your att phone and buy a Tmobile phone and activate it on their service. They don't have contracts so it'll be month to month. I'm sure there is fine print about keeping a line of service open with them for a period of time.

Since T-Mo doesn't have contracts, when you buy a phone from them, you pay for the full price of the phone spread out over 20 (or maybe 24) months. If you terminate your service before that time is up, you're on the hook for the balance of those phone payments.
This is the same thing as if you bought a device through at&t Next. Since you are not on contract, you are not subject to an early termination fee, but you are responsible for whatever you haven't paid toward the cost of your phone.
I use to be an AT&T customer when I bought my last phone which was the note 3. Now I'm a happy customer of t-mobile rocking a note 4 with unlimited data for 2 phones for 100$. Life is good. Glad I moved to t-mobile when I did.

that $100 for 2 unlimited data lines is a great price. I know TMO extended that deal for 2 years but I just hope we wont get forced onto a different plan after 2 years.
Yup. They will probably find a way to force us into a different plan. But for now I'm enjoying it. On the note 3 with AT&T I was paying for 300mb of data. I thought if was super expensive. But now I'm happy with what I'm paying for.

I'd jump on T-mo too. But I need to wait a few months. Hopefully the deal still exists till then. Unlocked bootloaders, unlimited data, lower monthly payments, timely updates. Sounds good to me.

I still have one line of AT&T currently. I switched 7 lines over to Tmobile. I'm lucky to be in an area with better Tmobile coverage and data than AT&T. Only downside I have is wall penetration of Tmobiles 4g. Wifi calling takes care of it for the most part though and you get a free 4g hotspot or free wifi router depending on your preference. The ASUS Cellspot router is pretty damn good.
I like AT&T physical stores better too. Something about Tmobile stores around me makes me want to get a carry permit. Thank god for webstores.

Unlocked bootloader/easy root = no bloat.
