Yeah in for 4, Started a thread on Slickdeals last night. Switching from Sprint.
If people here are anywhere near slickdeals people you might need to say "2 year contract needed" , LOL.
Dang just my luck I just ordered the Note 2 on Friday. I have to wait until I tomorrow and see if they still have any 99 cent refurbs. Upside was the phone was 200 before taxes but I could save myself 199.
att knows galaxy IV will put note ii to shames? maybe that' why they want to get rid of note II?

Ok the galaxy S4 will not put this phone to shame. Why cuz it has a better screen, and a few more features. Samsung loves people like you to go& buy the latest and the greatest!
As far as the refurbish goes. It just a bunch of phones that got returned for minor issues, bad charging ports, screen not coming on, phone stop powering on, etc. So that's why they're getting rid of them to the public. Not because of the S4 release. Why not make more money on something that was broken b4! It's a common practice in electronics business..
But me & refurbish :thumbdown: there's always the possibility that your going to run into some of those same issues. I've had friends with refurbish products, I've also owned some myself..
But hey for 99¢ why the he'll not right
Just my 2¢

I just ordered one this morning.
The down side, after upgrade fees and taxes it cost me $90.00. Still not too bad of a deal.
I'm considering adding a line to my account to upgrade from my gs3. I have fat fingers and typing on a larger screen may be easier for me. I am hesitant to get anything refurbished though. So many choices I just can't decide. I would hate to wait until Wednesday and be disappointed by the gs4 and all the refurbs gone.

Except for my current Note II every upgrade I've gotten from ATT over the last 3-4 years starting with my Blackberries have been refurb. Every one of them lasted. I was shocked, because I was worried also.
Obviously doesn't mean bad ones weren't put out. But my 2 cents is I've always saved 100-200 bucks getting the refurbs , and I've had great success with them.
Sucks now since I've upgraded to two Note II's over the past months and paid the $250.

ordered mine today! updating from an SGS Cappy. This little beast has done pretty well, running 4.2.2 now, albeit a little boggy.:good:
Just waiting on the wife to get home, I'm all over this.
I may just add the insurance to be safe.
I am a bit confused about the messaging though, I'm pretty sure we both get charged 30 a month for family messaging unlimited, but it is only 20 per person? There is no explanation on their website.
Should it be just 30 for both of us or 30 each?
I had the family messaging, it was $30 that includes all lines.

Just ordered 2 of them. Was a little confusing, I added the data plans, couldn't add a family texting plan all it would say is "current" so I think it will still be there, but whatever. Does anyone use Google voice for texting? Can I just eliminate a texting plan altogether?
Upgraded (via my mom's contract, heh heh) and I am SO excited. I have a GS2 running 4.1.2 but I know someone with a Note II and it's beautiful. I am so glad I looked at the AT&T site today, heh heh.
Thanks for the heads up! I got one for my wife and one for my daughter. Both are happy.
My 14 day refund period on my new Note 2 just ran out Friday. Argh why didn't I wait 3 more days! I had been waiting to decide on the HTC one and finally decided on the Note 2 just last week. I thought this price drop might happen but I assumed it would have been done already. Like after the HTC launch.
Oh well. That's life.
There is one saving grace. The store seems to have forgotten to reset my upgrade. So if something else is better I can still upgrade on the cheap.
I actually ordered the 99 cents Note 2 this afternoon. It was actually free. They have a $25 instant web promo going on also. But they won't "give" me $24.01. It just shows as $0 on my order slip.
I get new activation waived via ATT premier also for new lines. I added a line.
So will automatically switch newly activated line to flip phone. Cancel data. Switch my sim from my iPhone 5 to the Note 2.
Cancel the new line in one month. Total out of pocket cost ($315) for Note 2..
Not bad. $315 is cheaper than the $500 they are going used on craigslist and close to $600 on eBay.

I added the line to my family plan for 10 bucks a month , 10 x 24 = 240$ , no cancellation fee needed. I will keep the line because I can now upgrade every year.

My wife and I have been eligible for an upgrade for awhile now. Finally a phone came out that's good enough to ditch my OG Epic. It's gonna be hard giving up a hardware keyboard as I'm typing this with it now BUT the note 2 specs are simply amazing!
I'm patiently waiting in hopes of a Black Friday or Cyber Monday deal but I have yet to see or hear of anything for the Note 2. I was hoping to see a buy one get one 1/2 off or 25% off all smart phones or something to that effect so I don't have to come off $600 in upgrading 2 devices.
Now that the multi-window update is out it's even harder to wait but if I can save even $100 I'll gladly wait another week or 2.
So has anyone seen or heard anything that will justify the wait? I'm not a patient person by nature and I've been following this forum since it was created and it's not looking too bad considering the device is still in it's infancy.

I'm sure there will be deals on the GS3, but the GN2 is just too new imo. I also remember reading that Samsung will not let carriers drop the price of the GN2 for 90 days, so who knows.
Edit: Assuming you're not on a special plan like Sero, I'm sure places like Amazon could have a deal on it. I'll post back if I run into any deals

I saw the leaked ad for the GS3 for $50 but imo it's not really an upgrade from my epic, I'm running same software with a keyboard. I might ask for an early upgrade on my daughter's intercept tho for the GS3 but not if it's in-store only. I don't get sucked into waiting in lines for hours, especially here in Michigan where there might be snow on the ground by then!
An Amazon deal would be awesome, I did all my holiday shopping on amazon last year and their shipping is super fast! If anyone sees or hears of anything lemme know! Appreciate it!

GS3 wasn't a big enough upgrade to lose my keyboard! Lol. But for a 9yr old going from an intercept to a GS3 will be amazing, as long as she keeps her grades up that is.

Best Buy price matches amazon and radio shack. Sorry thats all I have.
Having gone from the epic to the gs3, I can say it's an excellent upgrade, especially for $50 on black Friday.
Having gone from the gs3 to the galaxy note II, I can say it's a great upgrade... not as big off a jump as between the epic and the gs3 but a good one

ok, doesnt do me any good anyways, we cant transfer the phone to another line on the same account.
if I can get the coupon code, we might just be able to swap lines, so we can keep that number.

If you are the administrator of both lines then you will be able to do it no problem. Also I think Best Buy charges tax on the full retail of the phone which will add an additional $60 depending on your location. I always get it from the link I posted earlier because it is the most reliable in my humble but accurate opinion. If you need any additional help transferring phones between lines, just PM me. I have a lot of experience helping friends with that.

I am due for an upgrade with Sprint. I am currently on the Evo 4g. There seems to be some good holiday deals on the S3 right now. I was thinking about jumping on one of these. However, after doing some reading it looks like the S4 may not be too far around the corner. Any thoughts on waiting it out or even waiting for the first of the year for some of the new HTC line? I know waiting with a subsidized carrier like Sprint means you're basically losing money, so I'm trying to decide the best course of action.
I would say just get the s3 its an amazing phone I'm running cm10 on it right now and its super fast stable and the battery life is amazing! The s4 most likely won't be out until next summer if you want a major upgrade I would say wait for the galaxy note3 or the nexus5!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I got mine on black friday so it was impossible to turn down. I had the evo, but it just wasn't cutting it. Rooted and everything stripped out of it, I still couldn't have facebook, google music, google maps, and skype installed at the same time because of storage issues. I really like the s3, and if you can get a good deal on it, you might as well. My gf still has the evo, and she's now eyeing my s3. If you want to wait for the s4, you might as well wait for the s5 or s6, or whatever... My philosophy with tech has always been, what will benefit me the most now, because if you always have in the back of your head that you plan to upgrade, you never will. Do it now, or do it never lol
I'm currently leaning toward the upgrade, but I may have just been dealt a blow. I checked with Amazon and they said I'm not eligible for the $50 price because I'm a current customer (despite that I'm up for a two year contract extension). Does anyone else have any experience with this? Is this true?

That doesn't make sense. Could you print out price from Amazon and go to best buy for price match?
I could see if they still had premier upgrades after first year but you have fulfilled your 2 year obligation to sprint. You're a free agent now.

That's what I figured as well. I haven't really found any information on the internet about people upgrading after a 2-year contract either. Has anyone successfully done so through Amazon or any other retailer? Perhaps I was mistaken when I thought the discounted price applied to me?
Also, will it matter that I am on a SERO plan? Don't want to lose that guy!

Easy call, if you see an outstanding deal on the S3 ($50 or under) then snag one. If a deal doesn't come your way then hold off. I'm on the SGS3 right now and it is a pretty amazing device. I was able to get it for $50 through Sprint on the Black Friday stuff, my wife's SGS3 on the other hand we shelled out $250 for, and we just wish we had waited the extra couple of months *Grin*.. Of course if you are like some and Money isn't an issue Get Both !
Just got mines Today at Best Buy for $49.99. One day sale!!!

I also had the original Evo 4G for two years wating on the SIII to come out.
At this point, you might as well wait for the SIV to use your upgrade option. Shop around for deals on SIII online and you might just be able to snag both phones.
It is an amazing phone though. I can say with confidence that i'll keep it until I get a good deal on a SIV, after the first few months after the launch date.
Well after talking with Sprint Employee Account (I'm on a SERO-P plan), they offered me $75 off my bill for the next two months to effectively make the S3 $50. I went ahead and took the plunge! I should have the phone tomorrow.

Just get the s3. Still a strong selling phone. Stay away from HTC. They tend to stop updates to there phones after they have been out for a short time. I don't think the note3 will be out anytime soon since the note2 just came out. S4 won't be out until sometime next year probably.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
I decided to go ahead and take the plunge for the S3. I was eligible for the early upgrade and I had the Buy Back program from Best Buy. If I waited for the "next" phone I would have lost the Buy Back. Turned out the S3 was $99 and the Buy Back gave me $130 on my old Epic 4G, so I made out pretty well. Got the phone and had some left over cash to use on a case.
If this isn't in right place, please do move it.
I had my new Note I for 44 days, decided they're not going to give Note I JB anytime soon, if ever, so I took it back Best Buy and got the Note II.
I paid $150 for Note I and extra $150 for the Note II.
Total cost with contract was $300.
(Note I is going for $100.
Then this weekend I saw that Best Buy had it on sale for $200 w/2year contact. So I went back and they gave me back $100. That sure made my day! It WILL go back up by this weekend.
That's how I got mine and sold my T.mobile to them ! Good riddence and glad to be back on AT&T.

Better jump on it TODAY as it's the last day for it before it goes back up to $300. In my case, I got a $100 back since I bought the Note II two weeks ago. That was a NICE surprise, getting a $100 back. I was happy to spend $300 as this phone is worth every penny!
I opened a new line to snag this GNII at Best Buy... my contract on my line isn't due until November. Ill gladly pay the $10 a month for the 'add a line's charge. Or pay ETF up front, its still less that the no-contract price.

I'm in a battle with them now because I bought mine on Sunday when the deal was introduced. The rep told me that I would be able to get it, but when I called back to ask about how I'll be receiving it they told me that I won't. They said because I ordered the phone before the 10th, I'm not eligible. So I called corporate. They sent me to mobile post customer support. And I finally got a case number.
The last guy told me that since Sunday, it has been a huge problem because 90% of the reps don't know how the deal works... So they have had a lot of angry customers. Hopefully I'll get the gift card. It would be nice to have the phone for $150 instead of $200, which is cheaper than the lowest I've seen which was on amazon in 2012 for 175.
The $50 gift card is to compensate those who missed the $100 discount.

The $50 gift card is to compensate those who missed the $100 discount.

I'm not sure that's true....I got the $100 off sale as well as the $50 gift card for each phone line started.

First, do you homework on the deals... and let me make this clear... you've got to talk to the right person. Always. Reps, especially on the phone, will give you nothing. The ones working in the phone area will give you nothing. This is what they're taught to do. I ALWAYS talk to the service department and if I have to, the store manager. Never been turned down. Of course I have silver status, so that means I spend a lot of money at BB. They want to keep me happy.
I have silver status which gives me 45 days to return or change my mind.
I had the Note I for 42 which I paid $150 for it. Two weeks ago, I paid another $150 for the Note II. Now I got 45 more days. Then last weekend they refunded me $100 of that for the $199 deal at the time for the Note II, then yesterday, a $50 gift card that the floor guys didn't even know was going on.
The deal got sweeter today as the weekend special says this:
If you get a Samsung Phone with a two year contract, you get $100 off on select Samsung Notebooks.
Look online or get their deals ads when you go to the store.
Computers & Tablets : Samsung_Laptop_Tablet_Phone_Offer_103656 - Best Buy
Guess what... since I'm in my 45 day time frame, I got a Samsung Notebook w/$100 off today.
Am I saving money or what!!! :victory:
I essentially got mine free... I was having a problem with my Atrix 2. It was my third one in a year. The rep offered to sell me the note 2 for 299. I argued and complained and eventually got him to sell it to me for 150, including overnight shipping. The next day it didn't come. I called in and raised hell again and they gave me a 100 dollar credit on my bill for my inconvenience. The rep PROMISED me a Monday delivery. It didn't come today and the tracking info says it will be delivered on Wednesday. I called and raised hell again and they gave me a 50 dollar credit.
I have to wait for 2 more days to get it, but that ain't bad for a free note 2,

I opened a new line to snag this GNII at Best Buy... my contract on my line isn't due until November. Ill gladly pay the $10 a month for the 'add a line's charge. Or pay ETF up front, its still less that the no-contract price.

etf, 350 vs $240 for the line at 24 mos PLUS getting an additional upgrade. just add the line. i am gonna do it for a back up phone. get best free phone and sell it. (best buy's buy back was great for this) put chip into a $10 go phone. this should about cancel out the cost of the contract.
Go to Radio Shack $199 on att and they trade in phones as well. Plus you get people who actually know what they're talking about

I've been eyeing the Note since the international model came out two years ago. Thinking it wouldn't get localized I picked up the galaxy s2 and then the note exploded in popularity.
I'm picking up the note 2 within the next few weeks but I had a question: does anyone think a price drop is coming? The note 3 is around the corner, which would do it, but the price didn't drop after the s4 was released (yes I know, different target demographic) so I'm still unsure.
The lowest I have seen it is at best buy for 199 and I just might go for it

I dont know why people are so focused on the price of the phone, when its the price of the SERVICE that kills you over the next 24 months..

Its a good question. I pay 63 bucks a month for my wife and I, grandfathered unlimited data and such, on a family plan with my brother. Not worried about monthly cost, as it is pretty static. If I can save $100 in a one time purchase going for it

wow, that is a sweet mothly program!
199 is probably as low as it goes, on an everyday price, until the note 3 comes out.
I was able to get it for 119 a few months ago, on a special promo to keep me from leaving ATT with my 4 lines....Occasionally there are some daily specials out there, but, if you get it at best buy, and you find a lower price in 30 days,(60 if youare Silver Card), they will credit back the difference, so its a pretty good program..

That's really helpful! Best Buy is where I have been looking. Plus the HTC One is on sale for 99. With trade ins I'll get out of there with 2 phones for a decent price. Thanks!

I am kinda wanting a htc one as well, and at 99 bucks, its tough to say no....my wife would kill me getting another phone, after only having the gn2 for a few months now..:cyclops:

There is a good deal for Note 3, 0$ down and 96$ off , so only comes around 25$ compared to usual 29$
I was planning to wait till christmas/new year but this deal also looks good.
Do you guys think we will have better discounts during new year, should i wait ?

I made a move on this deal over the weekend. Also picked up the HTC One for my wife. We're moving to TMo from Sprint and looking forward to it.

Just got this deal but after trying all day (website was down, CS having issues processing Sprint port order) the Note 3 is on backorder. Was hoping to get it before I leave for Vegas Thursday but at least I got the deal

I got myself a Note 3. And got my buddy a G2 and put him on my account. I spent like 100$, plus 30$ for one of the invisishield full body protector things for my nexus. Not too shabby.
I also got myself a Nexus 5 last week which was 107$ after tax. Now they are on sale for 0$ down and there's a promo code to get like 30 or 40$. Should a waited. But I love that phone so it was worth it.

I guess u should wait

I would go for it bro. I previously had it on Verizon before switching to T-Mobile so I could get the Nexus 5. Which is the only phone I dig more then the Note 3 and Nexus 4. Got the nexus 5 about a week ago now and I saw the deal on the Note 3 yesterday so went and got one for myself. Its kinda weird having two phones. Like I said I like the Nexus more but I can't resist the awesomeness of the note 3 as well.
So that should tell you how great it is and that it's worth getting now. Normally I would never rock two phones at once. And this time around I can actually do some mods and flash custom Roms to the Note 3 unlike when I had it for Verizon.

What plan did you guys use to get that phone price? The phone was cheaper but the plan was $10 more a month than what I have now.

I ust did the same thing. Got so fed up with Sprint's BS service. **** you Sprint!!!
Lol I just got me a note 3 last Friday and left Sprint for T-Mobile as well looks like everybody is tired of the mess and I work for them!!! But couldn't have picked a better device soo in love!
Sprint sucks
Everyone and their mom's leaving Sprint for T-Mobile? Lol count me in to the club, I just got my Sprint account termination letter due to excessive roaming. Me and my wife are very interested on getting this phone but we missed on the cyber Monday deal. My sprint service is set to be disconnected on December 26, I hope they have another sale on the note just around that time.
How much speeds difference have you guys seen between Sprint and T mobile?

In the end the phone will probably be around the same price, just zero down vs 100 $ or so down.
There is someone over at the anandtech forums that has a Tmo GN3 for 550$.
Left Sprint as well for tmobile. Speeds are way faster than what Sprints Lte service was in NYC.
Got the Note 3 during the cyber Monday deal.
Was with Sprint for 8 years but it was time to finally move on.

Snagged the T-Mobile Note 3 on the Cyber Monday deal and am loving it. Switched from Verizon to stop overpaying for data.
If you didn't get the deal for Cyber Monday (or the whole weekend for that matter), the T-Mobile in our area seems to ALWAYS be running sales or specials. You may be able to snag it at Christmas, if your willing to play their game a little. Some minor customer coercion/pity can go a far way, even if they aren't currently offering it.
