Im a tmo customer desperately trying to get rid of this g2x. Problem is tmo wants to charge me $540 for the phone, and my upgrade is nowhere near due. Is there ANY way I could somehow get this phone from tmo for the contract price ? any loop holes or something ?
any chance you can cancel your current contract? or transfer it to some body else in your family/friends perhaps?
then open a new contract new phone number, and get the SGS2
then swap the SIM card, and you are done
Not really. Otherwise everyone would do this every 6 months. Just sell the g2x and buy the gs2. You can get up to like 275 or so depending on condition. Subtract that from the retail of the gs2 and it's basically the same. Plus you can get them to split the payments up on your bill.

i was on the phone asking a rep about the split payments and she denied that they even do that. I always sells my phones on craigslist to upgrade, did it with the hero, evo, galaxy 1, g2x...but craigsloist is FLOODED with people selling the g2x i didnt post on it thinking i wouldnt be able to sell mine since there are so many postings. But thanks looks like i will have to just go the normal route. Thanks for the info.
She lied. I've done that with a bb9700,hd2 on contract,g2. They split it into 4 payments. The first you pay upfront with all sales tax included. So say 529+tax youd pay 132 or so plus the tax on 529 today. Then starting on your December bill, you'll have an extra 132 added to your bill the next 3 cycles. Essentially,your first payment delays a month of it being on your bill.
Also depends on credit I assume.

Check your acct on mytmobile. Somewhere on there it shows your credit limit. Act like your doing an upgrade, it's there somewhere. Good luck.

My rep told me I can split it between 15 payments, if I'm not mistaken.

if you terminate your contract then theres early termination fees so that dont do you any good also.just put it on e-bay
You can only split you equipment into payments if you are on a value plan were you do not get and discount on the phone. They did away with it once value plans came out

you guys are swesome with the helpful info but what he said is right. I just spoke to a rep. She gave me the number to customer loyalty and told me they can offer me things cuzstomer service cat, so im going to try my luck and if not i'll just patiently wait until i sell this g2x. Thanks again guys
Just rob somebody if you have to. The G2X is that bad. I am very extremely happy with this device coming from a G2X. I will never buy an LG product of and kind again.

Ditto to this! I mean, the features offered on the g2x are 2nd to none, but the execution of these features are horrendous. LG beat me on that purchase, but surely lg and me will not be transacting again in the near future! I'm digging this sgs2 tho!

SGS2 cost me about $560 w/ tax, and I was able to sell ph G2X locally for $250. Took 1 hour on craigslist. So, I paid $310 for the phone, but very much worth it.
I was on walmarts site today and they have the note 2 for $249.99 and you get a $100 gift card with it. This is the best deal I've seen for this phone and thought l would share.

There are two "equal" deals . You probably selected 249.99 with new account. There is absolutly the same $249.99 deal for upgrade. Both are sweetened with $100 e-gift card for Walmart today so final price $149.99+tax

According to the fine print it is for new and qualified upgrades. The eGift Card will be mailed out by the second week of January though.
I tried getting att to match the offer but no go. Fortunately I was able to upgrade my line through walmart without ay changes to my family and data plan Total came out at 249 with 100 gift card = price hard to beat. So excited to be a new note 2 owner!
I bought a Note II and a galaxy SIII from Walmart Wednesday. 2 dang days early. .

I bought it from the store and they are giving me the run-around. I have half a mind to just bring the thing back and purchase from somewhere else. If I knew I wouldn't lose my number I would kuat cancel it.

Hope it still is $249 tomorrow. i got mine at best buy today for $299. they won't match the $100 gift card, but I would rather have best buy's black tie protection and i used their buy back program to trade back my Note - got $300 for that
Called ATT for a price match they successfully gave it to me..I already called a week ago and said I seen it at best buy for 199 so they gave me credit for 100 bucks...I read this thread wrong....at first I thought it said 149.00 so I called ATT again Today.and said wallmart has it for 149.00 and a 100 gift card..sure enough I had to speak to a supervisor and got credit for 50 bucks..to equal 149.00 total cost. Then just read this and it said wallmartS price was 249....opps...lmao
So I learned they must not check..because I was wrong and still got the price match..lol.
Went and upgraded both my phone and my son's phones today. Got myself the Note II and my son HTC's One X+. Hell of a deal. Had to order them online since the local stores didn't carry them at all and of course they are both backordered, but at least I didn't have to pay any sales tax since the outfit was out of state. Not bad paying $399.98 total for two top of the line phones and with getting $200 back in gift cards makes it a steal as far as I'm concerned. Will likely have to deal with the typical screw ups of Walmart messing up data plans and such with AT&T next week but that's a small price to pay and one I've never had and issue getting cleared up. I've ordered my phones from Walmart the last several times and they always seem to get something wrong. But they have great prices so I keep going back.
I'm stuck on ATT for one more year. I wanted to purchase the note 3 on T-mobile outright and use it on ATT.
My first option was negri electronics at $690 TOTAL. However, I don't get to keep the carrier warranty. I've resorted to using the waranty a few times in the past and am uncomfortable losing that option. Especially since most other purchasable warranties involve shipping the phone instead of just driving to a location and having it replaced immediately. My second option is to preorder from t-mobile. The t-mobile website quotes a price of $704 dollars but i don't know if there is shipping/tax charges.
1) Does t-mobile let you unlock your phone immediately if you pay full price?
2) Can i preorder without also purchasing 1 month of service?
3) Does the full price they quote you include tax, do you even have to pay tax on an online t-mobile order in florida?
The answer to number 3 is yes and no. The $704 does not include tax and yes you have to pay it when you order online. I live in Florida and ordered online and had to pay tax.

1. No they don't because... see here... http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1588
2. Nope, you have to purchase a post-paid service which includes credit check online or by phone. But you can try getting the device in-store with a prepaid plan. Every store is different so its best to call ahead and ask.
3. No, the $703 advertised price is the base. Usually depending on your state, its 10% tax so about $770ish your going to pay.

Same thing happened when i asked for a prepaid price at the store and then including tax around 780 .... :crying: So decided not to get it.
You should always be able to purchase the 50/mo prepaid plan at the store and get the "plan price", in this case, $708. Then you call customer service and they will transfer that $50 balance onto your old line and close out the new line. This doesn't affect the salesperson's commission. I did this yesterday with the Note 3 and a few months ago with the S4. If someone in sales says they can't do it, they are just unaware. Ask them to ring it up with the prepaid plan and it will go through.

I just picked my Note 3 up from a local T-Mobile store and ended up paying about 780$ after tax. The person who sold it also happened to be a manager and didn't give me any problem when I told her I was going to purchase it without a plan and just pay full retail price. She just rang me out and said that if I wanted the warranty to be valid I had to have someone with T-Mobile just register my device on their line. I got it unlocked and now it works on AT&T's network.

Just an fyi.
How is it live and it still won't take my chase card
Just tested non nfc transaction with an Amex card and it was awesome!
Open the Samsung Pay app, you would get an update. Yes it is live! Didn't try adding my Chase card though, it wasn't working in Beta!
Couldn't add my cards, guess ill wait to see which banks are supported.
Yeah it wouldnt take any of my cards either. If this only supports a few specific cards then it is going to be pretty pointless. Discover/capital one visa/centris bank. None of mine seem to be supported :/ Bummer, I was all excited when it popped up active on my phone this evening.
Here's a list of banks supported for now (Visa / Master / AmEx):-
- AmEx
- BOFA
- CITI
- USBank
- Synchrony
Source - http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/app/samsung-pay
Definitely a bummer as I can't add my Chase which i use on daily basis.
However, I could use my AmEx Corp. which I was unable to add in Beta! If they have come out with such a feature, I'm assuming they have plans to add more banks. The sooner the better!
Yeah none of my cards are supported, sucks I was looking forward to using this. Hope way more get supported otherwise if this is all its really not gunna go anywhere. Oh well I'm used to features not working for me or not being supported.

Whats the difference between Samsung Pay and Android Pay? I've been using Android Pay for about 2 weeks and works great.
Wasn't installed on my Verizon version of the Edge + so I side loaded the APK and it says server is unavailable at this time.

With android pay you only can pay with nfc terminals and with Samsung pay you can pay without nfc if you want and use on a magnetic card reader. If you just place your device next to it.

Android Pay didn't work for me, when I try to add the card google play services crashes. But the difference is that on Samsung pay you can use both nfc and the old terminals that you swipe your cards. They also say it is more secure than Android Pay.

Good to know. The other difference is that Android Pay replaces Google Wallet if you have loyalty and gift cards. In my case I have to keep Android Pay for that reason. but I've already used Samsung Pay about five times. Very easy. And I submitted my request for the free wireless charger.
Anyone know when they will support more than 4 banks?
Just have a little confusion looking through the financing fine print.. do I HAVE to make 24 payments? Or can I pay it off early? Just thinking about next year's release and I don't wamt to still be paying off a phone when I'm ready for a new one
financing is for 24 months if you plan to change phone next year you will have to make remaining payment on the phone.
Yeah I get that I have to make the remaining payments... Perhaps I should've asked if I will have to pay the interest rate if I pay it off early... Because it doesn't mention that at all... It just says I need to make 24 monthly payments

If you can pay it off in 6 or 12 months [fine print] you don't pay any interest. Call customer service for Synchrony Financial if you have to.

I had this exact same question, and called Google's finance partner. They said you can pay it off early, but have to do it either with a debit card or using a check online. There is no interest if you choose to make all 24 payments.

You should be able to pay this off early with no penalty. You can either make more than the minimum payment each month or just pay off the remaining balance next year when the new phone comes out. You only get charged interest if you don't pay it off in full within 24 months. After 24 months, you get charged interest beginning from the day the transaction posted. So basically pay it off before you hit month 25 and you'll be fine.

no - google play gift cards do not work for hardware.
I got approved for 1000. Allowing the same payments that you would make through a carrier for a flagship I think was a smart move. I know people are outraged by the price, but this isn't the Nexus line we have come to understand. Google is trying to make a flagship to compete with the likes of Sammy and apple. I hope they get apple to at least pay attention a little. If Google plays their cards right over the next few years they could hurt apples profits. And I think we could all appreciate that. I do think they should not tap out of the mid range market quite yet and maybe they aren't going to. I bet next year's pixels come in more of a range. They probably figured no one is going to upgrade from the 6P right now anyways.
I did google financing and when I log into Synchrony I see the pending charge. And well, for some reason on the google store I have no order history..no order confirmation email of the order..nothing but the order # I wrote down. Google says its google financing fault and they say its google stores fault. Google store told me to redo order and it errors out saying I have exceeded the limit of products to order lol. No one can give me an answer of where my order is haha. Wow what a mess!!
