Just thought the Letstalk crowd could use one of these since the Wirefly folks have one and don't seem happy about sharing that thread.
Also, about to complete an order with Letstalk, if anyone wants $25 off I can try to add you as a friend referral during check out. PM me if interested.
Ordered mine Monday from Letstalk. My status still says its awaiting carrier approval.
Ordered mines on Tuesday and it says the same thing.

Ditto...
I called cause I was getting Jealous of the shipping status on Wirefly. Rep said it says that because the phone is not technically out yet. She said it will probably ship Freaking Monday and I will get it Tuesday. Since overnight shipping does not work on the weekends
Ordered monday night, had to call in to verify CC info and was told phones should be in sometime Thursday and will ship Friday.
The rep said this was not concrete so things may change.
My order shows Ready for Fulfillment, and Carrier Approval on the second status.
I cancelled my order with them...I used a referall and got $25 off making my wirefly order $125. I then went on chat and requested free overnight and they did it. I placed the order at 1pm on Wednesday, 9/14 and 3 hours later at 4pm it showed shipped. They are actually going out tomm, so I'll have it by friday
you have to ask the chat reps to "expedite your order by forwarding your account to the activation team" they will do it and next thing you know, your status is literally changing through the steps every 15 mins....they are quick!
I have a corp account which doesn't have activation fees, so I'm good. In my entire history with sprint, i've never had a single activation fee. it all depends on which corp discount you have
if you want to still place a order and want $25 off, just use my link and we'll both save that amount.

The 25 off is not up front?
Well, at this rate 1am eastern thurs. If anyone were to change over to wirefly now, do you think they'd still ship it out thurs? They'ed probably end up going out on Friday at this point, no?

the main thing is you have to keep pestering them every step of the way....their status updates are deadly accurate....
i had to call in twice since it said so and as soon as I hung up, it went back to normal. Something about a mismatch with my pin. and verify my address
so keep a look out on your status ...they are really quick about it seems....
i think the main ting is to get them to give u free overnight and it will bump you
i honestly had 3 orders placed....letstalk, amazon, and now wirefly. They don't activate your account or touch your upgrade till they actually open the box to program your phone and when one does it first, others can't do it. I still cancelled both orders though
with the $$, it only places a hold on your credit card, not actually charging it till shipping. so no mess to clean up.

If you pull this off please let us know. Just seems kind of late in the process for them to get ship it out to you before friday. If it was still 1pm 9/14 I'd say go for it, but 1:30am 9/15...

I was about too until I realized it would be 150 upfront and like 30days later u get the 25back. Smh I would want to buy a converter right now with that 25bucks lol.
Also my car payment is due this friday, My check wont go through with all these pending statuses lol.
Did you at least get the $25 off referral from Letstalk?
Just called about my order that was placed on monday. She said her supervisor told her they wouldn't be getting the phone in until friday and if they got them early enough, they would go out that day. Thus making the earliest I would see it, would be monday. I got nosey and asked how many orders they had so I could find out if it may go straight to backorder. She said at this point they only had about 100 orders for the phone and they had way more than that coming in. I know this may conflict with what others have been told, but that was the story that I got.

I hope this is the case. Some of their reps seem really dodgy to me, like they really hate their jobs.
Even if LetsTalk takes an extra week to ship, I don't mind, as I only payed $80 for this superphone. Sure I'd be disappointed, but still an amazing deal.
^Agreed^ but as with most all my purchases I want immediate gratification.

I agree, getting my upgrade for 123.99 with free overnight shipping, waived activation, and no tax is totally worth the wait.

Just to get this out up front, this isn't my original idea. Many others have offered this in several of the threads. I just thought we as a community could take advantage of this offer and help one another, hopefully this continues on to help as many as we have here.
I have 5 open slots to refer you to get $25 off your phone order at Letstalk.com. This also gives me $25 off my next purchase from them as well. Going to bed soon, but I will be up and at it again first thing in the morning in case I don't get the five tonight.
Also, when I ordered, I was still able to get 20% off with the code take20back at checkout. Edit: I have been told and as Dulanic pointed out below, the 20% and the
$ 25 can't be combined.
P.S. Please only send me a PM if you are FOR SURE going to purchase a phone. When I get to 5 I will edit this post and hopefully other members will continue below.
Keep in mind this will not stack with other discounts. It won't work with the 20% and it kills the free activation.
Wait what? How does it kill the free activation?!

If I was misinformed let me know. However, they don't charge you the activation, Sprint does and then it gets refunded per the promo. However, if you go without the referral you will see the "promotion" listed in the cart. Either way, it won't let you add take20back with the referral so it kind of doesn't matter since 20% is more.
Edit: Just noticed take20back is now expired... screw that.

I have to trade in my Photon at Radio Shack. I'm still in my 30 day trial period and they don't start selling it till today...at 9 am.
The Sprint manager is going to call me to come in to pick up 3 ET that she's holding for me, free of charge, when they arrive at the store. Was going to go at opening time too.
Yea, I'm waiting. I still was unsure if BB or RS is selling them locally tomorrow. I was hoping they would be dropping their prices to $149, but I doubt it. So, lose nothing by going with Sprint I guess.

Its better to exchange the Photon for Galaxy S2 then to return and buy somewhere else. If you exchange you are still liable for the $200 ETF and $18 upgrade fee of the original contract. If you return and buy the new contract terms will be $350 ETF and $36 upgrade fee. Also if I am reading Sprint's memo correctly customer support can no longer give out credit for the upgrade fee.

I ordered it online on October 25, and today called ATT and they told me it's on back order. When will it ship? They don't know. Sounds familiar...
All the 3 phones in my plan are out of contract so I am free to choose any carrier. Been with ATT since 2004, a bit too long I guess.
So I am thinking of this: cancel my pre-order, and walk into BestBuy on Nov 9, and whoever has the Note II on the shelf will win the bid and become my next carrier.
Call them back... be extremely polite. If you get a script reader, just hangup and call back.
Eventually, you'll get a non-script person... Explain how this presents a hardship to you. Explain that you actually had to take a day off of work due to unreliable UPS/FedEx deliveries (or people stealing deliveries.. or whatever.) Chat with the customer service rep. Make them feel important.
Perhaps AT&T can give you a credit of $100 to help offset the time you are losing from work due to their error? (I'm not going to tell you how often this has worked for me.. )
Then, watch as your phone is delivered on the 9th anyway.
Oh, and they are all showing as "back-ordered" in their system until the moment they switch to "shipped." That tends to happen when you PRE-order a phone.
Take care
Gary
Thanks for the advice. It looked like I ran into a script reader in the first run. I will give it another try. If it still doesn't work I will tell them Verizon just called and I mean it LOL.

On the web pages for my order, it says "Processing", "Pending Shipment", and "Preorder Processing". It doesn't say "back-ordered". But maybe that's the term the customer support staff use.

I got the same info x2h but, i was also told 5000+ units have already arrived.
To clarify a bit, the order status for my Note 2 on the web page is "Preorder Processing". However when I called AT&T, the person said it's back ordered, meaning I will not get it on the November 9 date as previously announced.
So when will I get it? I asked.
"We will let you know".
Yeah right.
Don't give up hope. Keep following up on your order status via website. ATT customer service reps tend to make up things sometimes. Source - I'm an ex-att cust. service rep.
As horrible as it sounds, your forum members are right in telling you to rep shop (keep calling back to get the rep you want). ATT doesn't like this as it hogs up their queue, but sometimes it needs to be done to get the job done right.
Well heres the update. tried calling them two more times and I can't even get to a real person, after waiting forever. I am canceling it. Guess I will stick to my WM HD2 a little longer.

I pre-ordered over the phone on 11/5. Just checked my status and it shows shipped from Fort Worth, TX and will arrive by the 9th.
I ordered through premiere with a company discount if that makes any difference.
My phone is backordered also
Preordered 10/25
They originally stated shipping 11/06
The next person stated they ran out and it was a first come first serve basis. That was a lie. If you look at their own forum
on att's website, you will see people who ordered way after and their phone is shipping.
Now they state they will start shipping 11/09, and that just means they will start shipping more orders which doesn't guarantee mine.
They violated their own policy of "first come, first serve" as stated on their own site when you preorder.
AT&T customer service departments do not have integration at all. Their logistics execution is horrible.

Are you planning on purchasing in store on launch day? I would've asked for credit towards my future bills for the inconvenience.
I ordered early Nov and yesterday I was told the same thing about being backordered . I called and chatted about 10 times. The reps are completely clueless (I'm guessing its not their fault they just dont get good info). Well around 10pm my order went from processing to shipped and I will receive phone today (according to fedex tracking - i paid the $15 for overnight). I am happy now, but I was pissed all day yesterday. I need to get a life.
well here's the latest update again. I canceled my preorder online last night. this morning an email comes in that my cancel was "unsuccessful". and then another emails that says my phone has been shipped, with FedEx tracking number. it has just left the Texas wharehouse. Expected delivery Nov 9 by 4:40 pm.
I am going to return it and tell them to put it on backorder.
OK one last update. Took the advice of others and called AT&T one last time. And the result is surprising:

You mean to tell men you've been with ATT since 2004 and you haven't learned to not call their service and NEVER rely on their answers? Preorderd 10/25 and it got here 11/08 10am.
They are clueless and don't know any more than what their website tells them.
And to those in the thread that seem to think otherwise, November 6 was the *Estimated* ship date. Nowhere was that day written in stone.

At this point, treat it like a pre-order. Put your order in, don't opt for faster shipping, wait, and hope.
Or, wait for other retailers to stock it, depending on your plan.

I would recommend placing your order online and just play the waiting game. One, when I ordered mine at 6am on April 29th, it gave me a message stating that my item was backordered and wasn't expected to ship until May 1st, when it actually ended up shipping that night and I got it the next day. And secondly, you want to place the order online to get the next day delivery, even if it is out of stock. But I can't say that you won't get the overnight shipping if you call, not sure how that would work since I ordered mine online.
Also, just as a side note for those who are iffy about T-mobile's service, I've had my wifi turned on ever since I got my phone and the service is top notch... wayyyyyyyy better than Sprint, speaking from experience. Cheers mates!

same thing happened to me, i was told on MONDAY (29th) by a CS representative that they were back-ordered, however i took a leap of faith and order online on TUESDAY (30th) with next day shipping and it said it would be delivered on the May 8th, however they mailed it and i got it WEDNESDAY May 1st . i guess the trick is to order online with next day shipping, and as of right now they are offering free next day shipping. So the trick is ORDER ONLINE and then play the waiting game, if it doesn't ship by the 5th/6th just call back and cancel and get it in store on the 8th. U have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If they charge u for next day shipping when ordering online just call the TMO CS representative and mention to the the free next day shipping promotion and they will adjust the price. (call AFTER you make sure your UPS package has shipped using the tracking #, calling prior to shipping may lead to CS representative pushing back your order...you've been WARNED) From there GOOD LUCK and Enjoy your S4 whenever u get it.

same thing happened to me, i was told on MONDAY (29th) by a CS representative that they were back-ordered, however i took a leap of faith and order online on TUESDAY (30th) with next day shipping and it said it would be delivered on the May 8th, however they mailed it and i got it WEDNESDAY May 1st . i guess the trick is to order online with next day shipping, and as of right now they are offering free next day shipping.

Question
For those who have ordered with T-Mobile via the $149 down and $20 a month...
Do you have to pay tax on the $149 down AND taxed on the $20 a month? Or do you get taxed just on the $149?

You get taxed on the entire $630. You pay the whole amount of the tax with your downpayment (about $45 in my case). After that, it's only $20 a month (no additional tax).

i was/am and existing customer too. And the offer promotion didnt say existing customers excluded therefore it was valid for exisiting and non existing customers as long as u ordered on or before the 2nd of may they HAVE TO refund shipping, i would ask for corporate as it clearly stated on their website free next day overnight shipping if u order online valid until the 2nd of May. Anything less than a refund would be false advertising. Its really up to u how much effort u want to put into getting your money back and how well u explain it to them, but it really shouldn't be much explaining as the website clearly stated it was free next day shipping and its not your fault they didn't adjust their online ordering system to reflect the "promotion"

Darn... I didn't notice it was only until the 2nd. Would have ordered another one before then.

Called them at 10PM on the 2nd
2nd at 11PM said it was processed
10AM this morning the 3rd says shipped.

You should be able to. When you log-in to my.t-mobile.com, under Support on the top links, there is 'Order Status' on the very right. Put your order number and zip there. I have to do that since my new orders aren't showing up automatically on the Manage page.
enter the promo FIFTYRMN and get it for $50 off on contract (or off, not sure)

Thanks for this!
I've been so pissed at Verizon for taking so long to offer this phone, that I was contemplating waiting and getting from Amazon or, you know, anywhere else.
But, $50 off on Day 1 and getting to [FINALLY] have it in my hot little hands today??? Too alluring.
Thanks for sharing. --xari.

no problem! I still need to wait till tomorrow
I am in disney on vacation, and I was going to go to a vzw store down the road for in store pickup, but because my billing address is in NJ, they wouldnt let me buy it. I said, screw you vzw, I'll wait a day and pay less. Also, amazon is still $200 unless you make a new line, so it's pretty much all the same. Now all I need to get is the squaretrade warranty for $99 on amazon tomorrow and I'm set!
Has anybody gotten the code to work when paying full retail? I just tried and it didn't apply any discount
How long is the code good for?
The end of August I believe
I wonder if this can be used in store?

I'm not 100% sure but I'm going to guess no. :-/
The cool thing though is you can do it online, and select to pickup at a Verizon store.

I did it last night and selected in-store pick up. Then, I learn of this promo code this morning. I called VZW customer service and they told me I'd have to try to apply the coupon in store.
I asked if I can just cancel the order and I'd redo it but apparently I have to cancel in-store too. Makes no sense to me but I'll find out in 40 mins when the store opens.

Could you also ask them if there is any way to get the discount off the retail price of the phone?

Will do! I'll report back from the One hopefully!
For $50, I have no problem cancelling in-store and redoing it online and waiting the extra time for everything to process.
the people I was chatting with said no way to do it in store, which is why I have to wait an extra day until I'm home. But definitely let us know!
My local vzw was beyond rude to me on the phone when i called for info on the stock of the phone, I'm trying to get them to waive the upgrade fee or something.
We'll see

Good luck with that. That fee is a tough one...I've yet to hear of anyone getting it waived.

Cancelling the order over the phone now with the store since they can't add the promo code. They aren't sure if they can cancel it though; as per VZW's site, the order automatically cancels if you don't pick it up within 4 days. Hoping I don't need to go that route.
Also, no-go on that coupon for full retail at the store.
EDIT: Nope, they can't cancel. Have to wait four days. Time is money, and I'll just eat the $50. An hour of overtime will cover that!
I was able to select instore pickup and use the code.
it Works
I went to my Verizon store and was able to talk them into letting me use the code in the store. Your experience may vary

I had used the code successfully online and selected in-store pick-up, but when I got there, the code didn't come up in their system!
Fortunately, I had taken a print-out with me (showing the discounted price) and when they asked where I'd found the code, I pulled up this thread in our forum)) to show them, so they were very nice about it and honored it. [Again, YMMV.]
I was polite throughout (which I'm sure helped) and then thanked them several times.
Good luck everyone. She sure is a beauty!
I selected store pick-up and when I went to checkout the system would not let me complete the order. What am I doing wrong?

Same thing happened to me. I don't think those codes work for in store pickup. Had to do the shipping route. Not sure why.

Hm, I just placed an in store pickup right now and the code worked for me. I live in CA if that has to do with anything?
