I still had a year left on my SGS 4G contract w/TMO, and after talking to a couple people, was able to get the SGSII for $230 - $50 rebate. I think it was the Loyalty Dept that I got referred to.
I'm an original Voicestream>TMO customer though, if that makes a difference.
I was upgrade eligible at the moment SGS2 was released.
I called Tmo Loyalty Dept. to get a discounted price, and they gave me
a $250 Loyal customer credit and $50 MIR still applicable.
So, $350 Original upgrade price including tax and upgrade fee
- $250 Loyal customer credit
- $50 MIR
= $50 Final price
All I was required was 2 year contract and $20 or more data plan.
I've been with them for 6+ years.
what number did you call? cuz I am eligible for full upgrade and they told me 290$
1-800-866-2453
Say "Cancel" upon the voice prompt.
It will put you through "Customer Care" or "Retention" dpt.
Then, make it sure they are customer care or retention dpt.
I got the same deal as Xianzai2000. I was eligible for full upgrade ($250 credit). I got my phone for 47.99 + applicable taxes (they charge taxes on the full price of the phone, not after the credit).
So at the end of the day I paid $78 total for the phone...got free express 2-3 day shipping, no upgrade fee, nothing else.
But I did have to sign up for the data plan which was $20/month for 5gb 4g (then get throttle) unlimited plan.
Thanks guys so much for this good info I am going to call and see if I can do it
I bought an unused one from eBay for $450 shipped. And currently on the $30/month "Walmart" 5GB data plan. I used to pay ~$60/month EM+ plan. So basically in 15 months the phone will be free
Bought mine for $480 from Ebay and I'm using the T-mobile/wallmart plan and I LOVE IT.
Bought mine for $149, no mail-in-rebate at Target in-store. That's with a 2-year upgrade.
When i called they said id have to pay full price since i have the fam value plan so that sucks so i just bought it on ebay so i stay on same plan thanks for all the help cant wait to get my galaxy s2 im tired of only getting edge on my xpera play from at&t

I just got a great deal on my new GSII! Go to Best Buy and price match it with the Magenta Day event that is going on right now (for today only.) They will price match it to 50$ total (plus tax which is like 40$). Also!, there is no mail in rebate to hass le with. So you save that 20$ per month and you get to use T-Mobile's classic plans. So I pay 120$ a month for 4 lines unlimited text/web and 1000 mins
I called them and there is no way to get it less than 229. So I am going to get it from walmart or costco it's 179 there.
So here's the deal. I am an AT&T subscriber the launch of the Atrix in late February and I really want to get the Nexus. Up until now I was going to sell the Atrix which I figure I could get about $200 on eBay with the accessories I have, and switch to VZW and take them up on their double data promo but am getting annoyed with their delays and supposed bloat they are adding to the phone.
I currently pay around $56 a month with AT&T for the base minutes and 2GB of data (Use Google Voice for text, 21% employer discount). It would cost me a minimum of $10 more a month plus a termination Fee of $245 with AT&T. I also have a $100 rewards certificate I could use at Best Buy towards the phone.
All said and done I could get the phone through VZW for about $145 or $245 depending on if the phone is $199.99 or $299.99 on contract and factoring in the the termination fee, the sale of the Atrix and the BB certificate I have and I would pay $10 more a month. Or I could buy it Unlocked, for around 500 after the sale of the Atrix, and save $10 a month.
I am really torn and any help making my decision would be greatly appreciated.
Hi All,
I was in the T-mo store checking the note 2 last night. The lady told me that if I upgrade my 3 lines plan now, she can offer me $90.00 for all 3 lines (1000 min+unlimited text+ 2 data lines (5G and 2G). So I asked her if I want to buy the note 2 with the upgrade, how much that will be.
She told me $250 + tax. So I called the T-mo store asking the lady to upgrade it for me and I will pick up the phone later. But when I trying to pay, they told me $250 is down payment, I have to pay$20 for 20 months!!!!! the saleswoman never mentioned about $20 for 20months.
It equals I buy the phone directly from Amazon, and got stock with 2yr contact! The salesman told me that they can't cancel the order once it's been placed and I need to go back to the store tomorrow to talk to their manager. I don't know what should I do, please help~ Thanks!
It all depends on that type of plan you are on or they are going to change you to. I bought mine with no contract at full retail and the guy offered to change me to a class class plan and make payments you what she told you. I told him I didn't car about the cost of the phone and wanted to keep my plan.
Oh no! You just signed up for one of Tmobile's Value Plans. You get a big discount on the rate because you are paying full price for the phone. The Note II sells for $649 no plan. You paid $250 + ($20x20 months=$400) = $649. You get to pay for a full price with ZERO interest over the 20 month and after the 20 months you save that $20 per month ($20x4 months=$80 savings again)
The other rate plan is the Classic plan. You would have paid $419 (less $50 rebate) up front for the phone and paid more for your monthly rate plan. In fact you would end up paying more over the life of the contract with the classic plan.
You got a great phone for $250 down ( $169 less up front ) a lower rate plan, you pay the balance of the price of the phone over $20 months interest free.
Face it, you go the best rate plan at the least expensive up front cost for the Note II at Tmobile. Be happy
Thanks guys, I understand that the rate plan is good, but I am not happy because they didn't tell me the $20 for 20 months until they changed the plan for me.
The upgrades is not much different than my current one, and got me into 2yr contact again and I have to pay full price for it.
But thanks anyway, I'll go to talk to them tomorrow to see if there is anyway I can get off this trap. Thanks!

That is def the way to go. I was not done paying on my galaxy 2 and they let me upgrade to the note 2 anyway for 249.99 and I just sold the galaxy s2 on ebay for 285. So the note 2 was free for me. Love it!

I paid $250 up-front for the phone. I converted my Classic Plan to a Value Plan, which saved me exactly $20/month, and they actually went back so that this month's bill (October) is also the discounted Value Plan, so I save $20 on my Oct & Nov bill. Starting with my December bill, T-Mobile starts the $20/month payment for the phone, which is already paid-for by the $20/month I saved by switching plans.
So...
I pay $20/month for the phone, but saved $20/month by switching plans, so the extra $400 is taken care-of.
My first two months of the new contract does not include a $20/month payment for the phone, so that money I save each month by switching plans ($40) goes in my pocket.
I basically only paid $250 down-payment for the phone out of my pocket - Technically, I should subtract the $40 saved from the first 2 months on the Value Plan, so I really paid $210 for the phone (plus taxes) and kept all the features I loved from my previous T-Mobile plan. Then Gazelle is willing to take my current phone for $100 - I may try for more on eBay.
I'm assuming your set-up is similar.
Um, I think you won...
This is how I got my Note II. Pretty good deal if you ask me.
The "value plan" pricing is only attractive when you don't factor in the installment plan for your device

Individual Classic plan on 2 yr contract:
$419 + ($90/mo x 24 mos) = $2579 less $50 rebate= $2529
Individual Value plan on 2 yr. contract:
$250 + ($20/mo x 24 mos) + ($70/mo x 24 mos) = $2330
Full retail on $30 prepaid for 2 yrs. / $50 prepaid / $70 prepaid
$650 + ($30/mo x 24 mos) = $1370 $1850 $2030
Prepaid is the clear winner for individual service.

Actually it does have unlimited. But you get throttled down after 5GB. Don't we all? I'm on the $30/mo prepaid plan I got online. Only has 100 minutes talk, unlimited text and unlimited data. I still get hspa+ speeds. Which makes the data service the same as that of post-paid.

Not exactly, we don't get to roam for data. And T-Mobile has some great roaming agreements including AT&T. I still prefer the prepaid plan but it's worth noting.
^^ In that case, it's almost the same.
But the point of prepaid is you WON'T" need roaming. Just pop in a new sim.
I've pre-purchased sims for Asia and Europe from ebay, prior to my trips. Worked perfectly when I arrived at my destinations. Or you could just wait until you get there and purchase them from local stores.
Although for business folks, I understand the transitions has to be more smooth.

for your classic plan calc, why are you calculating it at $90/mo for the plan? unlimited 4g plan is 79.99 ($80)
the value plan is actually only $20/mo for 20[/b months, not 24, and plan per month is $50/mo for unlimited 4g (no hotspot)
the prepaid cards seem to have caps at 100mb/2gb/5gb respectively so it might not be the best solution for some people.
at least these are the rates where i am (SF bay area). i guess it may differ by location? i'm using the value plan which is pretty much $250 + $20/mo for 20months ($400) + $44.99/mo (if i remember correctly) with 2 year contract which adds up to $1970.

The $44.99 price value plan misses key features. If you want to quote the price please list what features the plan include.

WARNING!
To the OP
WARNING!!
There's a $200 fee when switching from Classic to Value plan. Make sure they didn't just screw you by switching 3 lines from classic to value, $600.
1) New 24 month contract
2) $200 per line to switch to new contract
3) Paying full for the phone is not so bad with the installments, and if you have 3 lines, the plan pays for itself on savings to not worry about the extra $20 (unless there are 3 new phones and not just one...)
Regardless of what you may have done, you have 14 days to change your mind. That is, if you decide that you want to go back to classic, or that you don't want the phone, etc, just go back to T-Mo store to get it all sorted out. Not sure if you did it all over the phone if they'll tell you that you have to cancel over the phone and ship the phone back to them.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do, but I'd warn you to watch out for those $600 in fees. They'd screw your life, and T-Mo will not let you pay that in installments "Fees must be paid all at once and cannot be placed on recurring charges. This includes ETF and migration fees, as well as activation fees."

Those were unlimited talk/text/data plans chosen for comparative 2 yr costs. The $80 plan will be $240 less than the 2 yr. grand total but still a hefty difference from prepaid. And when the GN3 or some super phone comes out, I don't have to worry about any ETF before the 2 years is up.
You're right. $20x 24mos is just a typo. It was computed at 20 mos for the grand total.
The T-mobile site shows 2 kinds of $44.99/mo value plans. One plan has talk and text but limits you to just 200mb data. While the other has talk minutes, no text, and 2GB data. For your sake, I hope that is not what you have. As you said prices for services may vary depending on your location.
For prepaid, it's only the $50 and $60 plans that throttle down (not cap) at 100mb and 2gb respectively. Which makes the $30 plan the most appealing, if you can accept the 100 minutes talk time. Anyways, it's only 10cents/min if you ever go over.
To each his own.

For those who don't like prepaid:
If you buy full price with your credit card. Pay $250 to your cc on due date, then $20/mo for 20 months (probably more like $24/mo because of your APR, but that dwindles down as the balance is being paid off). You can still purchase a classic or value recurring service, but at least not be tied to a 2 yr. plan and no ETF.
You got a good deal. If you got the phone for a discount of $380. You would have to sign up for the $59 1000 minute plan only, not the $39 one.
I have the "value plan" and to include there is a "PHP" include that cover loss, damage, theft, etc. and setup Tmobile Mobile Security which is free for the monthly cost of PHP $7.

I got my note 2 for $270 plus a $50 mail in rebate. They let me renew my old myfaves plan for 2 years. With the value plan you pay sales tax on the full price of the phone.
I went to a corporate Sprint store to buy the gn2. They would only sell the device with an activation fee. Is there anywhere else I can buy the device new without having to pay an activation fee?

If you are paying full price, with no contract renewal, then buy it at a third party or retailer store, the act. Fee isn't required on those type of transactions. If you are buying at a Corporate location they may not be able to bypass the Act. fee.
Act. fee is what fee exactly? I bought it full price at a corporate store without contract and I paid $649.99 + tax and it came out to around $690.
I bought mine off Craigslist for $600 and activated it online at Sprint.com under my account. No activation fees here.
The guy has more. PM me if interested.
An Act. fee is an activation fee of $36.00 plus tax that you get billed on your account for upgrading or adding a new line onto your acount. This will get billed, so you don't pay for this in store. There is NO act fee when buying the phone w/o a contract so don't worry about that being carged because you are not extending any contract.
On a side note if you are extending your contract (upgrading or setting up a new line) if you are a member of a credit union bank, you can get the Sprint rep to add this discount to your account and it will waive all act fee's for any line on your account as well as give you a 10% discount off your bill every month. It takes about a month or two to apply to your account so if you do not have the discount already then the act fee will most likely be credited back to your account on the second bill you get after you upgrade.
got mine for $425 on craigslist, try your luck there

I got it too. They are not even advertising it. There were several people in store for a new phone and all of them got GSIII. The CS was surprised and reluctant to sell me a $99 Note II.
That is pretty good. Two days ago i bought a note 2 from loyalty for $200 flat no upgrade fees, shipping fees or tax. UPS is supposed to deliver wednesday. I didn't know about that deal though, that might be a little better than mine... definitely worth it though
anyone know how long the MIR might take?
Check for an affinity group
If you belong to the right affinity group (i.e., public employee, large corporate account, alumni or trade association) you might have a significant discount on top of the current sale price. Note II is available w/new contract or renewal for $49. I'm buying.

I got my Galaxy Note 2 today with the T-Mobile special. This is the math I came up with.
Suggested retail$699.99
Instant discount-$200.00
Mail-in rebate card-$300.00
After Mail-in rebate $199.99
Taxes $52.70
If you canceled early $200.00 (or what you end up paying through the two year contract)
Total of device $452.69
You must go with classic plan $59.99 + $30.00 + Insurance $7.99 = $97.98 (before taxes & fees)
Adding est of tax and fees $5.00
Est Total per month $102.98
Minus $200 within the 24 months to cover what you truly pay for the device (which they don't want you to know) $8.34 per month
What you pay per month for your plan in the end (After taking out the hidden monthly cost for your device) $94.64
Remember that you pay full price for your device one way or another.
Est of what you pay for the device and services within 2 years (after the rebate) $2724.21
$3000.00 for the Galaxy Note 2 is the about what you pay after two years. To think that this is much cheaper than Sprint, AT&T and Verizon. Ouch!!!

$3000.00 for the Galaxy Note 2 is the about what you pay after two years. To think that this is much cheaper than Sprint, AT&T and Verizon. Ouch!!!

btw, you don't really need the insurance.
In any case, I don't get the point of this thread. People need to realize that they're paying for the phone one way or another. I just go on the Value Plan and buy my phones for $700 straight up, that way, I know exactly what I'm paying for (and it's cheaper overall for me at least)
same **** to me today i pay 400 new customer

I got my Galaxy Note 2 today with the T-Mobile special. This is the math I came up with.
Suggested retail$699.99
Instant discount-$200.00
Mail-in rebate card-$300.00
After Mail-in rebate $199.99
Taxes $52.70
If you canceled early $200.00 (or what you end up paying through the two year contract)
Total of device $452.69
You must go with classic plan $59.99 + $30.00 + Insurance $7.99 = $97.98 (before taxes & fees)

I have a 5 gig plan...500 minutes cuz I don't make calls and my bill is 92 and change every month. That's including the price of the phone. I paid 250 for the phone, then it's 20 dollars a month for 20 months. That's 400+250=650 for the phone.
You can't really factor the cost of the plan into the cost of the phone. I would be basically paying the same as it is with the phone regardless.
And I could just go to the store and pay the rest if I didn't want to pay tax.
I'm just having a hard time figuring out how you came up with 3000 for the phone...
