[Q] T-mobile noob needs buying advice for GN2 -- pay full price?

Howdy,
Noob here, looking to get a Note 2, but need a little advice to make sure I'm not overlooking something.
Background:
I currently have a Galaxy S II that is way too sluggish and frustrating (was my first smart phone, purchased a year ago).
I’m with T-mobile on their “value plan” and have about a year left on my contract. I’ve been with them for over 10 years.
Options:
Is my only option to pretty much pay for a Note 2 at full price ($650)? I cannot find any deals online for a SGH-T889. The guy at the T-mobile store said it wouldn't even make a difference if my contract was up or not -- price for the phone would be the same. Wow.
Any ideas?
I suppose I could try to call their customer retention line but I feel like they are not going to do much for me, since I’m pretty powerless – being locked into a contract with a year left. I really don’t want to leave T-mobile anyway.
The only other thing I can think of...: It sounds like there is probably going to be a rebate sale on Valentines day, but there are no details out yet – just grand speculation that there's going to be a big sale. Does anyone know if to qualify for one of their rebates, you typically have to be out of contract? I'm guessing "yes".
I also looked on craigslist and eBay for used Note 2s, but apparently people think they are made out of gold – barely discounted. For the price they are asking I’d just rather purchase new.
Thanks for the help.
-Nate

first of all, you ask in the wrong section because this is General section...your question should be in T-Mobile Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting Section
"The guy at the T-mobile store said it wouldn't even make a difference if my contract was up or not -- price for the phone would be the same." i think this isnt right because as a value plan customer you have the right to upgrade your phone anytime and when your 22 months is up you will receive discount to upgrade your phone with lowest price.
i get my note 2 for only $180 with renew 2 years contract at a retail store. you should try to check the price around those retail stores.

Thanks man.
You get a deep discount at the end of your contract and you are on a "value" plan? Or are you on a "classic" plan?
Regardless, if I don't want to wait that long, I'm pretty much stuck paying full price, right?
PS -- Sorry if this was the incorrect area; feel free to move post

Value plan you pay full price with money up front then $20 payments a month after.

I ran into the same thing. On the value plan, you pay retail, but in payments. So you would probably have 200-300 down and 20/mo if you have the available credit on your account. You can upgrade anytime, price is always the same. I am on prepaid ($30/mo 5GB is hard to beat if you don't want lots of minutes). I did the math and figured that I would break even paying out of pocket full price in less than a year. That's worth it to me to save up for a while. At the end of the day, it's up to you. I'm loving the Note2, excellent device. Even better if TMO really does drop LTE as fast as they plan to.

They are just trying to boost there sales rate for personal promotions thats why I hate tmobile sales man they always try to push you into something ur not sure about well just look into it buddy

Even with the payment plan, you essentially just pay full price for the phone. There's another option though. You could try going through craigslist or ebay if you trust them. You would save a little plus tax but the down side is that they could report the phone as missing. But in my experience of buying phones off craigslist, or never happened to me. You just have to find a reliable seller. I bought my t mobile note 2 off CL around 2 weeks ago for $400 brand new in box. The seal was still on the box and I tried my sim to make sure it worked and it did. If you go through ebay, you would have buyer protection though ebay, so if anything goes wrong you could dispute with ebay. Buying from ebay would also allow you to buy insurance for your phone through a third party. Square trade is a good company to get the insurance from.

natesi,
The Tmobile rep was right, you are going to more or less pay full regardless of the timing of your purchase. You are on the "Value" plan, pure and simple, its a service only plan and its bare bone. Other plans allows you to get a discount (subsidized priced) phone, but the trade off is higher plan prices.

That's not correct. Phones are not subsidized on Value Plans. On a Classic Plan, yes. Value Plans require you pay full price for the phone - half down, and $20 a month.

I got a quick question im on tmobile sold my tmobile s3 I haf first got on contract with tmobile and now I got a note 2 just a few weeks ago used but like new I had callef tmobile about my payments and they seen my sim was registered as a note 2 the rep on the phone said by the way u have a great phone the note 2 is awesome well the bottom line is the phone is absolutely clean esn and imei since im using I with tmobile 4g $70 wanted to know if tmobile would let me get the unlock code for my note or do I have to wait a few months ive been with them since august of 2012

Im on a classic plan and was 18 months into my contract and they ended up giving me the note 2 for 200 w/ 1 free month back in October. They call it an early upgrade program

Ops sorry guys that was my mistake I was confusing between value plan and classic plan and as i checked my status im on classic plan so thats why I got the phone for cheap price xP

if you can wait a few months to see what the gs4 and gn3 are about may be a good idea?

Thanks everyone, I appreciate all the feed back -- it helped a lot!!! Seriously.
I went into the T-mobile store (again) and asked about the upcoming Valentines Day sale. The sales associate said that to get the rebates you don’t normally have to be out of contract – you just have to *extend* (renew) your contract.
I’m not sure if he is correct or not, but I HOPE so.
Last year, they were giving a couple hundred off phones (with rebates), so although it will be really painful to wait longer, I think I will hold off until I find out what kind of deals they are going to have on the Valentines Day sale.
Unless, that is, I can find a good deal on one sooner. I’ll keep my eyes peeled.
PS -- the "Captcha" on this site is hard!!!

Hmmm... I was thinking about that...
The GS4 is expected in the US around the end of April/May, right?
And the GN3? I was thinking around Sept - Dec release, although I just saw these articles, stating possibly at the end of February (???). That seems insanely soon though, for a phone that just got released not too long ago. Or maybe not?
I'd show you the links I'm referring to, but I'm being blocked from doing so because I don't have 10 posts yet (lame).
The other thing is, the Note 3 will supposedly have a 6.3 inch screen?! Doesn't that seem a tad on the too-large side?
How credible do you think a February-ish release date is for the Note 3, and how soon before it goes on sale in the US, you think?

He was correct. Any of the T-Mobile sales are for existing and new customers. If you're on value, you can just buy it on EIP (payments) and still qualify for the rebate regardless of contract tenure. I'd put my money on $0 down after rebate being the sale for V-Day.

hmmm.... I just saw a Samsung Galaxy "next big thing" Super Bowl ad/video on youtube.
What could they possibly be announcing besides the Note 3, if that is suppose to ship before the S4?

Why would the GN3 ship before the GN4? the GN2 is not even 6 months out yet. The GN3 is approaching a year. My guess is this rumor is actually caused by the note 8.0 which will likely be made official at MWC.

Boy do I hope that's true. I passed on the Christmas Sale because it was only $100 down and not $0 down. I'm holding out hope that the V-Day sale goes down to $0. If not though, they will surely at least match the Christmas sale with $100 down. I think I'll pull the trigger at that point. There will likely be another sale for the Value Plan only transition, but I don't know if I can wait that long.

Info for you

Yeah, I know it is weird that the Note 3 would come out so soon -- I'm just going by what I read in a few articles yesterday.
LIke I said, I cannot post links yet -- not my fault -- I don't have a high enough post count.
Here's how you can find some articles that talks about the possible unvailing later this month:
Google "Note 3 release date"
Click on the first news article from PC Tablet "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Release Date Could be at Mobile World Congress 2013!"
Then maybe the fourth result down by Trusted Reviews, "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 rumours point to 6.3-inch octa-core handset"
And others...
Google customizes search results so your ordering may be different than mine, but you should be able to find those articles with the info I have specified.
It's all speculation of course.
But what would Samsung Mobile be running an expensive Super Bowl ad for, with major celebrities??? What could be that big -- seriously? The SIII is too old to be pushing so hard. What else could it be?
I guess we'll find out on Sunday.
But man, it is taking every ounce of strength I have to not go buy a Note 2 right now.

[Q] Should I buy the Note 2 again?

I bought the AT&T Galaxy Note 2 a few times before returning to my iPhone 5. I have grown to hate my iPhone 5. The only thing I love it about are the cases I have. It has AppleCare+ on it which I really like but that's not cutting it. The phone has a very loose power button which causes a rattle. My iPhone 5 has also had dust in the camera lens since day one. Call me OCD but I've actually gone through about 5 iPhone 5's since sticking with this one. Apple QC is absolutely atrocious. I've had my issues with Samsung phones but not like Apple.
I absolutely hate the screen on the iPhone 5. I hate it!!! I don't think I can wait until the Galaxy S4. I want to be back on the Android ecosystem so that way I will have an easy transition to the S4. I also loved the S Pen, as I've had the Note 2 before. I returned it because I was bothered by the lack of cases and support for it. I always go back to that pathetic iPhone.
So is the Note 2 still worth it in Feb 2013? I don't think any other phone can come close in performance yet?

Not sure if you want to wait a little bit but some signs point to a new Note 3 soon (but if it comes to AT&T, it might be a little bit before it reaches these shores). Otherwise, there have been some really good deals @ Best Buy and such. Or... you know... stick with your iPhone, you sheep LoL
http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/429737/20130131/samsung-galaxy-note-3-release-date-launch.htm

I feel that you'll be fine because I don't think the s4 could replace your Note 2. The only reason why I say this is because of that extra half inch that the note would provide. For sure the s4 will be a lot quicker than the note 2 but was the note 2 ever slow to begin with. I also feel the same way with my i phone 5. I went from iPhone 5 on Sprint to s3 on ATT then the iPhone 5 on ATT then I am using the Note 2 on ATT now. I feel that since in previously years I've been using strictly Apple on my devices switching to the s3 and note 2 is real "innovation."
I also feel the same about the lack of any real nice cases for the note compared to the iPhone.
All in all I think you'll be fine if you decide to pickup another note.

I was hoping to get the Note 2 until the S4 comes to AT&T to hold me over. I wonder if the Note 2 is selling higher than the iPhone 5?

Both are $199 (2 year agreement) with a $50 gift card from Best Buy... with the $50 gift card, that's the best deal out at this moment (changes every week everywhere)
Edit: But of course, if you're buying outright, shop around... Amazon has some pretty decent prices

It would be outright. Can't seem to find the AT&T version outright anywhere but AT&T. The N1700 is fine but I have full AT&T LTE here.

You can basically get the phone at any retail shop outright but they never go on "sale" outright. Check the websites, click on the phones, then select the "no contract" option and it will show you the full price (e.g. Best Buy... btw not trying to push them it's just that I was doing the same thing you are a few days ago for another phone... has the Note 2 AT&T for $799.99 and the iPhone 5 outright for $699.99 16gb on both). As for the international version, I'm not too sure how this will work out with that retarded bill that passed about unlocks and whatnots.

AT&T has the best price. $649.99. Best Buy I wanna say is $799? :0
I buy phones outright all the time so I'm pretty familiar with it. I just can't find anything cheaper than $649 anywhere.

No way the Note 3 is due this Spring. The Note series is typically released late Summer / early Fall. I expect the Note III in Aug / Sept.
Now the Galaxy S phones are released in late Spring mostly. The S IV is rumored for a April worldwide release. And May U.S. release.
I would get the Note 2 right now, best phone ever. And the S-pen rocks. Amazing battery life, super fast smooth.
Or if you gonna wait, wait for the Note 3 = better upgraded version of the S4, bigger screen + S-pen.

Yeah that's insane! AT&T is the way to go... damn I should look there (I for no reason at all assumed they'd be the priciest)

If you live in a fairly big city you should look on Craigslist for yours. I was so ready to pay ATTs price of 649.99 but then someone on Craigslist sold me a brand new one for 500.... Honestly I couldn't be happier with this phone, love it.

I don't trust craigslist phones myself and like the option of maybe returning it if i need to. I would go to att and t and buy from them. It is the cheapest price around that I found. I checked best buy and Amazon. Best buy was ridiculous. I ened up buying outright from at and t..not happy about the $710 but such is life. Resale on the Iphone will be way better for a longer period of time.

Let me get this straight. You went back to an inferior product (iPhone5) because of the lack of cases. What are you, a 12 year old girl?
Yes the Note2 holds up very well, in fact I think it will be topic spec even next year.

The $50 offer is with doing an upgrade through best buy mobile. Nothing to do with the actual price of the phone. **** you could upgrade to a free phone and get a $50 gift card. And is that really your determining factor for whether we'd stay in business or not. Lol not that I care much because I'm almost done my degree but BBY is gonna be around for a while. Even if it doesn't get your support. Still the number one electronics retailer in the world. That just isn't a super strong statement right now.

Nono... Just a strong observation from a former employee of many years who has seen bad decision after bad decision over the last decade and got off the boat before it tries to turn itself into radio shack when they themselves are failing. There wasn't much money in the bank when I left and looking at the last 2 quarters, it dwindles down even further as the stock that used to be around 40 went down to 15 (almost to 10 last week) in a very short amount of time. Guess who went through the same thing? CompUSA and Circuit City and what you get left is either a buyout which would shrink the company to make a profit it would need to stay viable, or bought out to be Amazon's showroom for a fee instead of free like it is now. The more BBY/BBYM price matches, the more profit margin is lost so that money has to come from their bank to break even. Keep on this track and it will go off a cliff. Don't get me wrong, I want BBY to survive and all but becoming Radio Shack is not the way to go.
Congrats on your degree! You can now watch from the outside instead of in objectively.

Can we still buy the developer edition?

I've been searching for one for a while now, but I can't find anything. Samsung told me I had to get one through Verizon, and Verizon said I have to get one through Sammy. Unless they aren't selling them anymore, someone has something backwards. Do you guys know where I can snag one up if they are still for sale?

When I called on Thursday they said they are no longer available. But someone stated they had 83 units left. I found one online used and just pulled the trigger.... Getting sick of my iphone.....

Bummer. I've been looking online for a while now, no such luck though.

Just went through the same thing. Samsung's help was just about worthless. I was continually told Samsung doesn't sell phones directly. Finally went through the business department. Because the phone was shown on their site but not available as of 8-7-15, the business rep first tried calling the warehouse to see if anyone knew if it would be available in the future. He got no definite answer. He was going to send an email to corporate and let me know when he received a reply. I was told it may take a week for an answer. The issue may be that because the Note 5 was soon coming they may not restock. My problem is that from I can see from Note 5 leaks, the phone may not have the features I want, ie. removable battery and sd card. Because I like my Note 4 and it has a verifiable good root for the developers edition, I was going in that direction. Two months ago, I had a chance to buy the de phone from Samsung. I was certain that the team at xda would get root and held off. Boy am I sorry for not buying when it was available. Well, we can only hope that our team here will get this working on our retail versions.

I'm looking at selling off my mint DE version since I'm leaving my Unlimited Verizon account. Is Swappa still a good way to get the most resale for now a "unicorn" like the VZ Note 4 DE? Was considering that or eBay, but worried about eBay hassles. I'll then pick up a T-Mobile Note 4 to put on Cricket.

Can I buy it?

Im waiting for my DE to be approved on Swappa ... its up for grabs, I love the note 4 and everything about it but I want something different. Im actually tired of roms and rooting. Mine is going to be expensive but its in perfect condition its ALWAYS been is a case and works beyond perfect and its hot commodity now. So if your serious then buy it.

EDIT: Wait a sec. This may not be "Unlocked" after all. It doesn't seem to be the right version. I have SMN910VZWE.

Unlocked GSM, not a developer edition. Equates the phone xapable of being used on Verizon or AT&T

Seeing everyone in this forum and other people online get their note 7's is making me so sad, I want to buy one for my dad and I but $850 per one is pretty steep. So, I was wondering if anyone has heard any news or rumors about a bogo for tmobile/sprint for this phone.(buy one note 7 get one free. not the buy a note get a s7 edge free) Thank you for your help

You would probably have to check at your carriers retail store because best buy has the note7 and S7 deal but my carrier AT&T has the 2 note 7's.

I've been looking into it constantly and there's no news. I finally went and looked at Evan Blass' Twitter page and read his original tweet where he suggested that there would be a BOGO for note 7 at T-Mobile. There was a reply to his tweet on August 2nd where someone told him his information was wrong. Evan Blass got offended and told him that his info was correct. He seemed very adamant that a BOGO is coming but gave no further info. With his reputation on the line he said more than once that he was not wrong and it's coming. Go look at his Twitter page and read the tweet from July 19.
I'm very impatient too and want to get my wife and I our note 7 ASAP.
I'm sure it will come in the next couple of weeks. No later than the iPhone 7 launch.

It just officially came out today, come on. But sprint is offering a S7 free if you buy a note 7. Just saw the commercial as I was typing!

I purchased two from att with a bogo, 695 off the second phone. So almost free. They give you credit in your statement, for the 30 month installment plan. One phone can be an upgrade but the second has to be a new line.

wow I wish Canada had BOGO deals! So you guys can buy a Note 7 and get another for free? That's amazing!!

So Verizon is already having their BOGO. Att has theirs. It would be hard for me to imagine that T-Mobile would not also do it.
I looked on Evan Blass' Twitter and the same guy was giving him a hard time telling him he was wrong about the BOGO. I think he was trying to provoke him to get more info.
At this point I don't know what to think but I'm so impatient I just don't know if I can wait.

Okay, I hope I'm not getting on people's nerves. I keep posting about this BOGO deal and I don't know if no one is really interested but this and the other thread are dead and I'm not just posting to boost the thread. I might just be super impatient but I'm about ready to give up on this BOGO deal. I'm starting to get the understanding that if T-Mobile did a BOGO it would be a T-Mobile promo and not a Samsung promo. If T-Mobile wanted to do a BOGO promo they would have done it at launch to compete with Verizon and ATT and draw in new customers.
I'm feeling like it's not going to happen. T-Mobile is still offering the promo deal to get the free gift with the note 7 now through Sunday. I might just break down get 2 this week.
If no one cares and no one is paying attention to this thread that's cool, maybe I just needed some time to talk to myself to work through my decision. If anyone is interested drop a post and let me know that I'm not the only one. Check you out later.

Don't worry man, I'm so anxious for this deal to happen too! I've been postings everywhere I suggest you wait until the 28th to buy, if you don't get the bogo deal at least you get a gear fit 2 or 256gb micro as card

Verizon not selling note 7 ?

Is it true Verizon not selling note 7 after recall is complete?

I think so that's what the rep said when I went into the store but tried to recant when the mananger came out and tried to pursaude me to get the s7edge until it comes back in which I don't think it will ...cause he clearly said we're not selling it anymore at all

They're not selling it til the phone is fixed. They haven't stopped forever.

I just talked to a Verizon rep, for what it's worth, who did not think Verizon would continue to handle the Note 7 after replacing the recalled ones. I could picture it going either way, and wonder if Samsung might release a very fast next model to get out from under the stigma. I'm just waiting for my local store to get the new ones in to exchange mine, but not sure how I'll feel if we see a Note 8 in a few months.

I know when i talked to Verizon about the pay off on the edge program. He told me that on Samsung's flagship phones you can upgrade every year when the phone ia released and Samsung picks up the balance of the previous generation phone your turning in. So if they jump to note 8 earlier then next year this time, that's fine with me ill just get it

I have never heard of this... Didn't happen when I went from Note 5 to Note 7. Is this a real thing now? Much like Apple's program? This would be big news.

On Verizon anyways yes, there is a handful of devices that qualify for a 12 month upgrade swap like the old edge program was. Pretty much only top tier Samsung phones and iPhones qualify. There's like only 5 handsets that get the exemption. It's been this way since spring. They also give you an extra 2gb data per month per device....

They didn't let me do it on in note 5 to note 7 swap

I just bought one..
I just purchased one on the Verizonwireless website. I had to get creative to find the order form, but it says it's shipping out to be here at 10:30AM on 9/21 (to my house). Shop --> Samsung --> click on the Note 7 buy link before it disappears.

Well I guess that's answered. They are such scum. We all sit here with fire balls and they have the nerve to sell to new customers?
