[Q] Buying galaxy s3 - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I have been with tmobile since its inception and my contract just ran up, I want to upgrade to the galaxy s3. The cheapest I found it so far was at best buy for $229 but Im hoping to find one for as close to $199 as possible... any suggestions?

edit: I actually just found this thread. Should help get a cheaper price.

If your contract is up, call 611 & when prompted for input say "cancel". This should get you to the loyalty department, 'inform' them you are thinking of switching to AT&T because they offered you free Galaxy S3s if you did. They will definitely give you a better price than you can find anywhere as far as retailers are concerned. Please report your success story with us

My dad simply just called customer loyalty and said we were thinking of switching and what's the best they could do for us. So I ended up getting the 32gig white s3 for 240 and that includes shipping and all fees

Take it from a man that makes his OWN deals. If you tell them you aren't too satisfied and another carrier is already "courting" you they will make you a better offer than what this kid above listed. Trust me.
No offense kid.

Agreed! T-mobile has been losing contract customers in significant numbers to either pre-paid or other carriers. This above strategy used to work for me... until I found a family member that works there... That's what you really need!

Just to add to the info on what you should be able to easily get: my contract expired and I called to "verify" that it was. I also mentioned that I could get the same phone for $150 less with another carrier at the time. She immediately offered the phone for $229 (16gb) with a $150 bill credit to bring it down to $79. PLUS she gave me the $20 5gb data plan and a $10 monthly credit for 24 months! Also got free overnight shipping. Oh and I still get to send in for the $50 rebate!
Hope that helps give you an idea what to shoot for.

If you're off contract tmobile will do close to anything to keep you if you have been loyal (5+ years, no late payments)
For me I always jump on the latest and greatest so i'm constantly under contract, tmo still honors my loyalty and gives me great pricing along with monthly discounts.

Why is the Tmobile version so much more???

I bought the phone the day after it came out but the total out the door was just short of $400. Then I would have gotten the $50 rebate.
I have a tmobile my touch 4g slide and it is a pretty good phone. I just couldn't justify $350 net so I returned it and paid the $50 restocking fee.
I got really ticked off when a co worker told me he got his from Sprint for $200. Then, a couple of days later, he told me that the cost was $100.

Probably the chip to support hspa+ 72 made it cost more than the lte models.
I think it's just T-Mobile's pricing structure. With my now-gone New Every Two discount on Verizon, I paid $130 with a new two-year contract for my white 16GB Galaxy S3.

I believe it's a mix of T-Mobile having cheaper plans for voice/text/data and also it could be the fact that the phone uses HSPA+.
I got mine on June 21st so I can't complain. Plus I have nothing but excellent contact with T-Mobile and excellent cell/data service.

I paid a full $640 for mine!!! But since I save $360 a year over AT&T and Verizon using Tmobile's Monthly4G Prepaid plan so I don't mind.:laugh:
This tmobile price is bs but I just called today to see if I can get an early upgrade and the guy said he'll give me an instant $50 rebate with another $50 mail in rebate so final price will be $229 not bad I guess

Tmobile actually lowered the price for the galaxy s3 on the tenth... If you guys still have your receipts to into the store you bought it from and they have to give you the money back for the price difference... (If you bought it within 30 days) .. I got like 33 bucks back.. Give it a try they have to do it.. I hear a lot of people getting the difference back

Walmart deal coming up.

I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and the rep told me Walmart is cooking up a big promotion for the S3. I called to upgrade one of my lines and asked him if they can match or beat the WireflyFriends price and he said unfortunately no but Walmart is getting ready for a big S3 promotion. Fingers crossed that it beats the WireFly sale price.

I already got $50 back from CarToys because of Walmart's S3 price. I'm hoping they drop it farther so I can get more, but I'm not sure how much time I have left from CarToys to do that.

dont know about wirefly but I bought mine from Costco for 179.99$
I don't know what the other sales are. But tmobile can beat em. Especially if your contract is about up.
Got mine for $79.99!
Ask for retentions, or at least customer loyalty. But retentions can do even better. Google tmobile retentions deals galaxy s3 for more info.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Did you just tell the automated machine retention? I didn't know that I'll give it a try.
I did try that but still got customer loyalty. I loyaly offered me $279 for phone, $150 credit bringing it to $129. Also got. $20 5gb data plan and a $10 per month bill credit every month for 24 months. I told her I wasn't ready to pull the trigger yet and would call back. Asked her if she made notes on my acct for all she offered which she did.
Called back next day and this time made sure I got on with a retention specialist. They saw notes on my account so honored all the offers. I said I didn't think I could accept because it still meant I had to initially pay $279 which I couldn't afford to do. He did some looking at something and said he could bring it down to $229. I asked if I would still get the $150 credit which I did. I told him I still didn't have that much to spend initially and he said he could apply the cost to my next bill, so after credit I would only have to pay the $79 on my next bill!
Oh and I also got free overnight shipping!!!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Wow, that's amazing. Been with them for almost ten years with multiple lines, hopefuy that helps me out. Thanx for the info, I will be glad paying 150. Guess I will give this tomorrow a try.
Good luck! Its definately worth trying.
I've been with them since the Voicestream days, over 10 or 11 years ago. That definately helps, especially if they think you are gona cancel.
The other thing is my contract had already expired which gives max leverage.

Careful though. You may get customer loyalty first and they will try to 'solve' your issue without retentions. Loyalty will give outstanding deals but retentions can go even further.
If you are not out if contract or close to it though you may not get much.

I think a $225 account credit a free white galaxy 16gb gs3 and still got a rebate form for $50 qualifies as a great deal from customer loyalty. All idid was ask for a good deal while being polite. She was awesome!!! tmobile #1
the way i see is u need some times as a tmobile customer, if u got less than 4 years u shouldnt try to negotiatre for anything

I've been with them for 6 years but when I called them last week and said I am mad that Verizon is selling it for 199 and my upgrade cost is 329. I said I want to cancel (which I wasn't) to move to Verizon and bam. Got two S3 for 179 each and also got a mail in rebate for 50 bucks per phone. Grand total for two S3 after rebate 258.
I just feel these are reasons T-Mobile isn't fairing well. Yes we all want deals but come on. This is just whining and I feel it is ripping T-Mobile off and not making them the money they deserve to make. The S3 is $330 on T-Mobile with a mail in rebate of $50. Making it $280. Yes the other carriers have it for $199, but with their plan prices compared to T-Mobile, you are paying less with T-mobile. Saving you money over the course of your contract. I've been with T-Mobile for 7 years and have not once felt the need to call retention and lie to them about wanting to cancel and switch carriers just to save a few bucks.

Retention is there to do this. Every carrier has retention that does this. If it was that detrimental to them they wouldn't do it. The whole reason they do it is to keep you with their service so obviously it's not doing much harm.
Also some people are dishonest. That's how the world is. It's great you've never had to do this, I haven't either but some people aren't honest and some people need to save as much as they can. It happens.

T-Mobile customer service has been crap lately.
Look at the issue that I was having with them (warning: long read)
http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/29215
To continue from that thread:
I had to sent in all three of my 32GB phones and went to the store and got myself 16GB Galaxy S3s which royally pissed me off because I wanted 32GB.
I'm still waiting for the credits to be posted on my account for the 32GB phones I sent back in.
Jessica on T-Mobile forum has been really helpful with my situation and immediately posted some credits on my account to lower the cost of the 16GB S3s that I had to pay out of pocket again.
I am glad that I posted on that forum because Jessica has been the one constant person that's been helping me through all these issues. She knows the situation from A-Z and I didn't have to explain it over and over again to different CSR's.
However, the fact that T-Mobile kept messing up and not registering the phones being returned to them are problematic and I, as a customer, had to pay for that. I wanted the 32GB phones but now I'm stuck with 16GB. In the future, I don't think I'll renew my contract with them and just go month to month. Or, if I do renew my contract, it will be the value plan and I'll just buy my phones from here or ebay or something. Too much hassle having to deal with T-Mobile.
10 months yo. I have a link I saved somewhere, but Google 'tips from an former t-mobile employee' should give you the link to some great info! I personally just saved close to $400 by calling into complain, with legit complaints, but hey I'm rocking a nice new phone. Plus I was able to get early upgrades on all our lines of service.
Edit: Everybody is entitled to a rebate if one is being offered!

[Q) buying through best buy?

Saw this phone on best buy for 150 and I'm eligible for a 2 year agreement just wanted to know if any of you guys have bought through best buy before?
If so Does your plan changed in any way whether it would be data?
Reason why I ask is because T-Mobile is always making it impossible for their customers. I see it as a smart investment worse comes to worse down the line I can always opt out and pay that 200 penalty to get out, I would still have my s3.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
I hate Best Buy but couldn't resist their low prices so last year I bought 3 phones online. It work out good for me. Not only I end up paying for the phone much less than any other place, but also somehow I didn't have to buy a data plan with those purchases. I have a family plan and that did not change also.
Last week I tried to add fifth line to my plan and I had to add minimum $20 data to new phone so I'm not sure how it is now...

Long time - since there were Voicestream - probably 10 years.
I bought this phone from bestbuy in october since I was eligible for an upgrade and bestbuy had it for way cheaper than tmobile ever did. Only part of my plan that was suppose to change was my data plan but it never did actually change. I still have the same plan I had before purchasing the phone. No complaints
Thanks guys. Yeah its way cheaper than what Tmobile has it right now about 340 with the upgrade. You guys did it through the phone or in person. One rep I was speaking with told me that I can't get the phone in store because T-Mobile doesn't allow it? Is this true or just BS. I was going to get the blaze through T-Mobile but it was going to come out around 184 basically around same price I'm getting the s3 for through best buy.. Not a big Fan of the 4'7 screen but oh well.

I actually did mine online and I had no problems. Bestbuy also gives you the option to add a warranty I think but I'm not to sure since I didn't get one
the issue to consider is that BB will sell you the 2 year plan, which continues the "subsidy" (we all know it's baked into the monthly price, RIGHT?) even after you pay of the phone. Consider a tmobile store - and a value plan, where there is more of an up front cost (possibly), but the value plan is a purchase of the phone as a transparent process, and when it's paid for (20 months?) you keep the phone, and the monthly price drops.
If you can do a "small buisiness" plan - go for that! $40 per month to 1000min and unlimited (5GB at 4G speed). $50 for unlimited/unlimited. Add $20 for phone, and stll cheapest way to go...

Plus you get a free 1 year warranty for the stuff that's suppose to come for free, Like a defective unit .buying with T-Mobile you have to pay a monthly fee for that same coverage

Best buy price match

Does best buy price match? I can get the s3 for 50 on a new contract through tmobile through my jobs discount will tmobile. Only problem is its done online and they have to ship the phone and its a mail in rebate. If i print it out and take it to best buy will they price match and I get the phone same day?

I think they do. But it has to be a published price, so I don't think your employee discount will count. They need like a newspaper ad or to be able to pull up a webpage (like Amazon) by themselves and see the cheaper published price.
Do they match the retail price? If so take the picture of Costco's retail price and bring it in and have them sell you the phone for $350 off contract.
This question isn't even in the wrong section, it's on the wrong website.

Ok heres the thing. Even if they price match or not best buy does not sell the phones at their stores anymore that has to be done online or over the phone. Atleast thats what I was told for my wifes phone which I just got like 2weeks ago on sale for $50 which was a s3 . Maybe just maybe yours might sell it in stores idk. Like I said thats just what I was told. But the bright side is they got shipping for like 5 bucks comes in 3days flat
Yeah that's my problem I'll be without a phone for a week because I have a sprint s3 but ex cut it off. So im selling that paying 400 deposit and getting tmobile

You can buy Verizon, sprint and at&t in store but T-Mobile you have to order online or they can do it for you. That's how it is over here at least.

Yup same here another silly policy from tmobile, maybe they think you would leave them and join other carriers if your at the store. That tells you how sucky and not confident they are.

It's not a policy made by T-Mobile. By federal law, a retail store cannot sell all 4 main carriers (don't ask me why). Therefore it is up to the resaler to choose which 3 they want to sell. For example, Target chose not to sell Sprint.
