T-Mobile Pre-orders? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Any word on when we'll be able to pre-order? I already signed up on the info/promotion page but what about actual pre-orders?

I'm thinking some time after the contest is over. The contest ends on 9/15 but the winners aren't announced until 9/18. So lets say you won but you won't know until 9/18 and you placed a pre-order on or after 9/15( if it was open ). Then you would be stuck with 2 phones and that doesn't make sense because then you will want to cancel your pre-order if you won. So I'm thinking after this whole contest thing blows over on 9/18 is when pre-orders open. But its anyone's guess lol
edit: After re-reading the email they send you, it says "If you are one of five lucky winners, we'll notify you by 9/18/13." So I think sometime after 9/15 definitely.

Tmobile note 3 passes thru the fcc... http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/09/11/samsung-galaxy-note-3-release-date-clearing-final-hurdles/

Since no one posts here in 4 days, I see us T-Mobile users are just patiently waiting for T-Mobile to open up pre-orders. I'm hoping pre-orders will open tomorrow! :fingers-crossed:

I'm thinking about using the Note 3 with Tmobile's $30/mo 5gb LTE plan. It only has 100min but I'm thinking about buying a VOIP app from Google Play. Anyone else?

I'll be using that same plan with my note 3. I found this thread to be really useful. It covers the T-Mobile $30 plan and VOIP setup.

I do this now with note2, same plan....and will with note3. Since I only have 100 min on plan, I got a seperate google voice number, and use the obihai 202 with it. Free voip through google voice at home, then the 100 min tmobile....look into obihai, been using it for couple years, its flawless with goole voice, crystal clear
The obihai 110 works excellent as well., only way that plan works for me, is this device and all the free calls at home.

I am debating as to if I want to pre-order or just go to the store on release day to get it.
Does anyone know what time they usually ship? Will probably have it shipped to my work

I believe as long as there's no Backorder you should have it on the 2nd

I doubt there will be a backorder for this phone...but I was wondering what time of the day it would come. During the day/night etc.
That would determine where I have it shipped to.

That depends on the delivery company (UPS, FedEx, etc) and your (highly specific) location. Those variables are out of our hands - The only way you could hope to make a guess is if you knew which company T-Mobile is using.

Are they going to have both black and white in store on the release day? I know the note 2 was only available in titanium in store in my area. The white, we had to order on the phone.

I'm on prepaid. Anyone know if I can just buy the phone out right pay in full?

I guess you're right, as I don't see it available on their prepaid website. I'd either buy it in store or even better, buy the T-Mobile version from Negri Electronics so you don't have to pay sales tax.

correct me if im wrong, but Negri doesn't offer Warranty for the phone outright. You have to purchase an additional $99 or $129 plan
Since I'm going prepaid, I'm just going to visit a T-mobile store and pay full price, rather than pre-ordering for the online store. It's better that way because you aren't forced into a credit check and a plan (if your a new customer like me) when you only want the phone.

T-Mobile Galaxy Note II CONFIRMED FOR Oct24

I walked into a T-Mobile store and the store manager confirmed that tomorrow I will be able to buy my Galaxy Note 2. The store did not have a display model and they only recived 3units for sale. Two of them being white. However, the manager did place the grey model on hold for me for only $5 down. I'm ditching my Galaxy S3. Hope this helps the T-Mobile buyers...

$249.99 on T-Mobile? That must be value plan...the value plan you are buying the phone outright and paying per month. The classic plan is just like all of the other carriers. T-mobile is really pushing their value plans.
Value is better priced any way you look at it.

Phones purchased on value plans will also be blacklisted if you don't pay your bill. There was a big scam a while ago with that. That is why if you purchase a T-Mobile phone second hand, you should call T-mobile with the IMEI to make sure it wasn't purchased on a value plan.
ok so here is my deal. I have the t mobile galaxy s3 which i bought less than 2 weeks ago and now I want the note 2. I paid 470 for the white s3 as it was used but it was very well maintained (looks new). The reason ipaid so much for it was because im not in a contract. Im using simple mobile which basically im getting t-mobile service (yes even 4g 42.2) for 50 bucks a month (minus insurance but even under a contract never bothered as i always got good cases). What would you suggest i do? I was thinking of selling the S3 for 430ish USD and put the rest on a note (hopefully i wont have to pull any more than 100 from pocket). Let me know what do you suggest

I spoke to customer service and the off contract price is $700+. I really don't see a situation where you will be able to come $100 out of pocket and get the Note 2 without signing a contract...

No, I have a full upgrade available. But they didn't have the upgrade price today and told me the retail which was $700 plus tax.
ugh...$700 is a very hard pill to swallow. debating if i should wait it out or pick one up now if thats the price...im not due for an upgrade until next june.
I guess ill keep my S3. Price is a little too much. Thanks a lot though!
You could always sell the GS3 and come out a little more than $100 out of pocket. If you sell the GS3 for $450, you can get an international note on Ebay for around $550. Pop in a straight talk sim (either AT&T or T-mobile service) and pay $45 a month for unlimited everything.
TMO News
I've been obsessively monitoring the TMO News website for the last couple weeks (OK, maybe longer than that - I really want a Note 2). Anyway, they have the leaked pricing information and updates on availability, etc. http://www.tmonews.com/

I was thinking in doing that but the international one doesnt support 42.2 HSPA+ on t mobile. I dont want to go straight talk because it doesnt have the t mobile 3g frequencies (correct me if im wrong) but it definitely doesnt have the 42.2 radio. Right now im getting 18 down and 2 up on simple mobile. If i go at%t, i know my data will only go as far as 5mbps at its best. The radios are the issue. If the international supported 42.2mbps, ill definitely have no problem getting it

Can your guy inside confirm the lack of headphones in the box?
Also color options? White available?
He doesn't seem to be good at timely answers. My wife heard All stores are only getting 5 each and I asked him if it was true and its been half an hour ago and still no answer. I told him I need 2. I'll ask but can't promise timely answers.

I'd like to echo this sentiment. From what I've heard, from people's dealings with AT&T customer representatives, there's a thought that the white version will be available on Friday in stores. I really want the white version... so... can we get a yay or a nay?
Thanks!

I will be at the store nearest me at 8:30 Friday morning to try and get one. I am *so tired* of getting the runaround by ATT reps. First the inability to preorder online, then the phone rep telling me there's nothing she could do and they had no idea, and to go talk to a store. One store telling me that I could come back in a few days and preorder it from them, then saying a few days later they didn't even have the SKU in the system. *Then* that same store told me I wouldn't have a hard time at all getting one, however, I called back yesterday and they said "We aren't getting very many, you might want to be here early." ARGH. This shouldn't be this frustrating.
Just checked att website says they have them in stock to purchase at my local att store in upper darby, pa!

My local store just call me to let me know they have more than enough in @ the Town Center Jacksonville, Fl. Too bad I got a really good deal via premier support by phone. They were going to give me the phone for 299 with some freebee's but was adding a line and just keeping with no phone/data on it. 9.99 a month...Premier CSR gave it to me same price and did an early upgrade (6 months early!). I'm happy.

Try this link: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/samsung/galaxy-note-ii-titanium-gray.html?source=IC0GM8014bT00a0lO# (copied it from the AT&T website after going to the Samsung Note II page). Under the "Add to cart" button there's a "check in-store availability" link.
This really sucks. I went to an at&t store and waited until they opened this morning. They had 5 galaxy notes for sale but they would not sell me once because I would not sign a new contract. I tried buying the phone for full price and they told me it could be over a month before they are able to sell the GN2 off contract. I called customer support who actually called the store because they couldn't believe they wouldn't sell it to me. Customer support ended up saying its up to the manager to decide if they have limited stock...blah blah blah.
Terrible customer service from at&t as usual. I don't know what to do about it now because even customer support would not let me order it from them directly on the phone. I have a business account with them so I am waiting to hear back from my company rep but this BS should be allowed to exist. I am literally willing to give them $650 + tax for a phone and they won't take my money. If it wasn't for my grandfathered unlimited data plan than I would think about leaving them. Does anyone have any similar experience or suggestions on how to make this happen for me? I really wanted to get a GN2.

Who's picking one up on release day?

After months of searching "Verizon HTC One" multiple times per day, tomorrow we can finally pick up the One. Anyone else going to pick it up on release day?
I'm really hoping we get some great developers to work on the Verizon model. I keep hearing how much better this version of Sense is, but knowing myself, I'll want that baby to run vanilla 4.3 within a month.

i had been holding out for the longest time for this phone, but verizon/htc just waited too long
$199 on contract for a 6 month old phone that vzw will probably forget about quickly after the initial 4.3 update....tough to swallow
i love htc, but ill just probably hold out for one maxx variant around the holidays (been told verizon is scheduled to get it)
if it was 99 or under on contract would've probably picked one up for my wife, but not at 200 bucks

I've called (and yes I counted) 12 best buys, 2 costcos, 3 wal-marts, 1 target, and 3 vzw stores.
Out of those - One best buy has exactly 3 phones to sell, and only one vzw store wasnt being a **** and told me they had 2-3 CASES, but they can't hold them and it's FCFS. I'm on vacation in florida, and because I dont know who will have any in stock when I get home on friday, I'm taking time away from disney to drive to the vzw store that told me how many they had, at 9AM and buying one. I'm not even using it until I get home for fear of destroying it in the disney crowds.

I just hope the bootloader gets unlocked and I can get a ROM ASAP

I know I'm getting the Note 3, it is just a matter of when. I dont necessarily want to pay $704 for a phone, but I just sold my Note 2 and am running on a basic phone (not fun). On one hand, i really would like a new phone to ensure quality but I also am okay with waiting a few weeks. Do you guys think I should just bite the bullet and buy it or wait a few weeks and pick up one from ebay, craigslist or swappa? Will prices even be that different after a few weeks? Thanks
I wouldn't buy from Craigslist or swappa. Too much risk. They work for one month, person stops making payments, then bad imei. If you do buy, go through reputable sources.

Because of the EIP, I would say T-Mobile (or any authorized stores) would be the safest place to buy. The used market is too risky now because of the EIP T-Mobile started.
But, I do have one suggestion if you do buy it off of Craigslist. Meet at a T-Mobile store and if it's possible, have a T-Mobile rep confirm that the specific phone has been paid off. If the seller is legit, then he would have no problems doing this for you.

Thanks guys, I think the best course of action would be to buy outright from T-Mobile, this way I know what exactly what I'm getting. I just cant get over that $704 price tag! I guess thats the price you pay for a quality phone. Appreciate the help!

The EIP is reasonable, my girl is paying 21 per month, but she put 200 down. 29 without

I ordered mine today for zero down and added Jump to my plan. If I decided to trade it in in 6 months, I'll be out a lot less money that if I put $199 down. Sweet deal.

Yeah I think people don't realize how good the $0 down deal is for people who are going to take advantage of JUMP

Is this the same phone and same packaging as what I would get at tmobile? Can anyone speak to the websites validity and service?

It's unlocked which is great. The ones at the store will be Sim locked to TMobile. Don't now if there are any other differences. Negri has been around a long time and I would consider them a reputable company. They used to advertize on TWIT

Sign up for Jump and you can give back your phone and get another new one in 6 months. Any payments remaining on your old one go away and you start over with payments on the new one. That's why the zero down is a great deal. You won't be out the $199 down payment that some people paid if they pre-ordered before today. I believe Jump is only available on the Simple Choice plans. Not available if you're on Monthly 4G I think. It costs $10 per month and doubles as phone insurance also.

Puts me even more on the fence. Price is right ($99 if I add a new line) but I'm now torn on maybe going to T-Mobile, especially with that new global roaming.

Sigh. Why such a long wait?
So they will essentially be 2 MONTHS behind the other carriers. Probably needed more time to install their super special bloatware.

FYI for those upgrading instead of starting new with Sprint, pre-orders are cheaper on Best Buy's site.
Sprint price - $199.99
Best Buy price - $99.99

Not for existing customers. It showed as $199.99 for me when pricing the upgrade. If i'm doing something wrong, please let me know.

Another Best Buy incentive - $50 gift card via email if you pre-order with Best Buy. Decision made, order placed!
Edit - well, order almost placed. Not going through on the Best Buy website for some reason, just getting a generic "There was an issue while processing your order." message. On phone with them.

What is the difference between ordering the phone at Best buy vs Sprint corporate? Will I still get the same service and support with sprint if I upgrade with Best Buy? I've always wondered this and bought my phones directly from sprint. With the current pricing at Sprint, seems like BB is definitely the better way to go.
I am on a 1600 minute, unlimited texting and data family plan with TEP insurance if it matters.
If you buy from third parties like best buy, sprint will charge u 50 bucks on your account (according to a sprint rep)

I have upgraded through Best Buy and Amazon in the past. Your plan with Sprint does not change. Your Sprint Service/Support does not change. You have the ability to add TEP to your new phone (you may have to call Sprint to do this, but you have a window of time - i think 30 days - to add TEP to any phone).
The only thing I would be wary of is if you are in a grandfathered plan like SERO. Then you need to deal with Sprint directly.
I have never been charged extra by Sprint by going with a 3rd-party. The only possible extra fee (on top of the phone cost) is a $36 activation fee that Sprint charges, as well. Even if Sprint didn't charge this, Best Buy still comes out ahead.
I wonder what the chances are Best Buy will ship earlier or later than Sprint?

As an FYI, I was not able to get the order to process on BestBuy.com, or through the 1-800-BestBuy. I had to go in-store to preorder. And even then, I had to work it out with the mobile manager to get the $50 gift card offer.
Now, that pre-order doesn't commit me to the device, as I haven't actually paid for it yet. So if anyone has any success with BestBuy.com, please let me know!!

My pre-order just seemed to go through smoothly!
And I can confirm you'll have to pay a $36 activation fee with Sprint (not payed with the Best Buy order).

Was it for a new customer agreement? or upgrade for existing customer?

At what point did your order processing fail? Maybe a problem with the "Submit to Sprint" part, or something with your browser? or just bad luck lol
