So what's the off-contract price for Verizon?

I need to know what kind of hit my wallet must absorb.

Probably $649

I was wondering the same thing. It's the last bit of information I hadn't heard. I'm assuming $649.99 but want to be sure.

Lol @ all the whiners complaining about the unlocked GSM price.

why $649?
when I got the Rezound for $219(contract) I still had to pay the sales tax of the regular retail price, which was $799

The Radio Shack leak from a few days ago said that their off contract was $799.

I thought it was $749.99.

I guess I will know tonight a 1AM when I check online.

Radioshack and Best Buy charge more for off-contract prices because they make more money by locking you into contracts. Verizon offers lower off-contract prices than Best Buy and Radioshack. I promise

You bought it at Best Buy didn't you?

the verizon wireless in store or web price is $649

Not sure why anyone would want to buy a CDMA phone off contract from the carrier unless there was literally no other way to get it.
At least when you buy the GSM version unlocked you get something worth while...

Yes. Carrier resellers add another contract and ETF associated to your phone/account when you sign a new carrier contract for a subsidized phone through them. That's why the unsub prices are higher.

yeah i thought about buying it off contract because i will leave vzw once sprint lte is up but still that doesn't make any sense. $650 off contract or on contract $300 plus a $300 cancellation fee saves me $50 in the long run.

People buy CDMA devices off contract from the carrier because they can't renew their contract at that point in time..

Not so sure what that implies, other than switching to an inferior company?
I for one am very happy with VZW 4G as well as their reliable 3G with the backhauls to actually move the traffic.
Voice quality over their 1x is superb compared to the cdma carriers imho.
VZW press release today confirms 649 off contract. I'm in an old alltel area, too so maybe 549
----
The other issue is that this is a Samsung phone. PLENTY of popping noises on their radios across the board, so I'll let everyone beta test, or maybe just try the demo model for a while tomorrow before considering.

It comes down to what you're willing to settle for. I'd rather buy a 32gb unlocked for $649. Along with many others, Verizon is doing the same deal. Presumably you can move between AT&T and VZW but they'll probably still nail you for fees like activation.

Just got out the door a verizon for $695 ($649 plus 7% state sales tax).
As for people that think it's cheaper to go with a New contract for the phone (pay $300) and then immediately cancel the contract (pay the $300 early termination fee) you forget that they are probably going to charge you for one month at least on that contract.

AT&T No Committment pricing?

Anyone know? $599, $699? Plan to pre-order at whatever the retail is.

Somewhere along those lines I believe.

Nope. I chatted with a rep earlier about it. No information posted online for them, and her scripts didn't say anything. She checked with a supervisor who confirmed that AT&T hadn't told them what the off-contract price would be.
I'm expecting $649-$699 for the 16GB version, but am prepared to go as high as $799 based on international prices for off-contract phones.

The rumor for tmo is $700, I figure att would be similar.

Kinda hard to be "stoked" at the price but that's what I just paid for my T-mobile variant... Although it's not as bad as what a lot of people were paying for International N7100's but they just sold for $589.00 on Ebay so if I didn't have to pay tax I would have been a tad more "stoked"... Only on XDA will you hear someone say they were stoked about that price! LOL I am just messin with ya though cause I am glad it wasn't the $699.00 that I thought it was going to be...:laugh:

I tried to order one at no-commitment price, but even when you choose that option rather than 1-year or 2-year contract, it will not let you buy without choosing a plan. I cannot figure out how to buy just the phone from AT&T.

It gave me the "No commitment" option from the drop down menu. Just pre-ordered mine an hour ago. And to confirm again, yes $649. Ships overnight Nov. 6th.

If you've already got an account, log in and run it as an upgrade. Full retail is the only price you'll see, but it will stick to your current data and voice plans without prompting you to select a new one.
The rep I spoke to initially said to order the phone with a plan, then cancel that plan as soon as the phone arrives. Not sure I like that idea, as touching your plan at all could potentially take you off of unlimited data.

The Galaxy Not original was $849.99 So i would safely guess close to there.

I pre-ordered the Sammy G-note II from AT&T the first day available on the 25th and I paid $649 plus the tax of $39 and it is said that I will be getting it Nov. 6th to Nov. 9th.

You can usually get a early upgrade from AT&T if you call or stop in the store it's usually the price of the phone plus 250.00 would make the phone 549.99 and all you have to do is extend your current contract to get it.
Does not matter if you have no contract but if you do you should be good does not hurt to ask

Anyone know a good insurance to get with the phone. I kind of want to preorder from ATT now so i can get the phone at launch. But best buy's $10/mo insurance seems to be an unbeatable deal and i may end up waiting for them. I had a nightmare damage experience with my previous phone so i dont wanna get the note 2 without insurance
Seems like atts $200 deductible makes their insurance garbage.

For those still looking to get G3 or potentially pick up another, Staples has the T-Mobile G3 on sale today for $499. Also, if you search around, you may find an additional 10% off coupon. If so, this would bring it down to $450 for 32GB version.

Yes I would, they are Christmas gifts for (myself and) my family.
Two years ago, I bought GS3s for myself plus 3 others. Last year, I bought them all GS4s, with the requirement that they give me back the S3s (which I sold). So basically as a Christmas gift, I essentially perform an upgrade for them lol.
I already have a G3, though I didn't sell my S4 this time. I kept it and I use it as an around-the-house phone thanks to the new Hangouts.
And thanks for the info on this deal. I decided to pick up only one for now, as I'm thinking something might come about on Black Friday or closer to Christmas...

Everyone who is using their phone on T-mobile could you please log in to your account online and see what it says for what kind of phone you are using.
Mine says the following:
LG G3 - METALLIC BLACK - CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED
If that is correct staples sold us a used phone under the advertisement of a new one.
Please post your result asap, I will be calling t-mobile to inquire.
Update:

Pixel Phone on Verizon

So with the Pixel phone being sold through Verizon here in the US, do you think this phone will be fully unlocked if bought from them?

Wow, that is expensive... and sold out...
Didn't get one, but want the 128 GB (though I wish they offered a 64GB).
Add the protection plan for another $100, sitting at close to $1000!

Being it's Verizon I would say very likely but I am sure it will get cracked at least until new updates remember this is Verizon your talking about they love to be in control of things that they have no right to be. Easy fix don't buy from Verizon buy from Google or if you can buy from HTC as they will treat you better in the long run like the $100 in free accessories they gave the HTC 10 buyers after we got an extra free USB-C charge cable months before and maybe uh oh protection might be included too but that is hoping lol.

Is there any downsides from purchasing from google vs Verizon? Will we get access to the same LTE bands, etc.?
In the past, have google versions of phones have come with unlocked bootloaders but verizon come with locked versions of the same devices?

Given the way the past Nexus devices (that included support for Verizon and were eventually sold through them) the answer is no. They use the exact same hardware presumably. But until we start seeing model numbers confirmed it could be a possibility. But the unlocked version will support Verizon and it will have Google as your main access for support (which has been good to some people in the past).

The only reason I'd consider buying it straight from Verizon is because it would be added onto my bill in which my job would end up paying for my phone. If I buy it from the PlayStore i'd have to buy it on my own.

I'm in that boat as well, work will pay for my phone if I get it through Verizon. Here's hoping that I can in some way sell the Verizon phone NIB and buy the unlocked one.

If you get it from Verizon they are offering the promotion 2 year contract again exclusively for this phone. So you can get the pixel 128gb for like $300....but it might be bootloader locked and you won't get the free vr headset promo the Google store is offering right now.

My coworker told me about the 2 year promo...I didn't actually see it myself. He is currently at the end if a 2 year promo so maybe that has something to do with it??

Oh that's it. Anyone on a contract can keep getting new contracts like that. But new customers cannot get a contract from Verizon directly. You can still get service through Verizon with a new contract and subsidised phone you just have to purchase the Verizon service through dealers like best buy and target I know they both list new Verizon service with a contract where you get the phone subsidised instead of a payment plan or paying full retail price for the phone.

Yeah, but it took well over a year to unlock the verizon S5 (at least. I hadn't looked for another year, so it might have been over 2). It'll be cracked Eventually but how long will it take

I'm not too worried about the bootloader being locked as I've stopped rooting my phones and flashing ROMS but I just need to know if the Verizon model has all the bands to work properly on t-mobile. I have 2 sims and need to confirm this.

Bootloader is definitely locked. Saw this question/answer on the VZW Page this morning for the Pixel XL.

I just preordered the pixel xl from best buy and extended my contract with Verizon. Does anybody know if the version they carry is the same as Verizon's or the unlocked version in the play store?

Which One Should I Buy?

I'm considering buying a Verizon Galaxy S8+ or the unlocked Samsung U.S. version, which one would be the better option? I like Verizon's service but want the option to choose other service providers.

Verizon is unlocked out of the box, and if you really wanted to you could flash the unlocked firmware. That's what I did, but it really depends on price I guess. Get whichever is cheaper, it's the same phone anyways.

Not sure if you saw this, but there's a pretty good deal on the Samsung Store that I saw last night.

You can get $200 off with any trade in, so basically get a $20 walmart phone and you get $200 back. I'd go with that if it's not too late, or $250 off the Verizon one only.

Question, did the box containing the phone come in a sealed box from Samsung?

I bought it off swappa. The guy I bought it from said that he purchased it from samsung brand new un opened. I contacted the seller last week because I wanted to see if he still had the receipt. At the time he was on vacation but is back now. I sent him another email this morning and asked him to look for it. He replied and told me that he would try to find it, a few hours goes by and he emails me back and said that he couldn't find the receipt. Which makes me think he is lying. Why do you ask if the box was sealed?

I ordered a Verizon 8+ phone from Samsung and the box didn't have any seals on it. I work with a guy who brought his phone from Sprint and his box had 2 seals on it.
The phone you purchased might be under contract with a service provider.

What? It better not be. Are you familiar with swappa? I'm pretty sure that if it was under contract swappa wouldn't have let this phone be sold on there website.

I'm 100% that this device isn't under contract because I'm the one who activated it.

It's just that there have been a quite a few horror stories posted about dealings with Swappa.
On other note, I will never buy from Samsung.com again, it's BestBuy for me. I'm still waiting on a return label from them and it's been over 2 weeks!!!

Wow. I'm really hopping the guy I bought this thing from finds the receipt for this phone. But something is telling me that he's either not the original owner or he didn't buy it new. I will no soon if he's telling me the truth or not. If I paid over 700 bucks for something, I do believe I would know exactly were the receipt was. And if I sold someone something brand new I would give them the receipt in case he/she had problems with what ever they purchased. And then again he could have simply lost it or threw it away and keeps putting me off afraid that I will catch him in a lie.

@Muffycheeks I googled what you were talking about and the only thing I found was a seller sold a phone with a bad esn but the buyer knew it was bad and bought it anyway, before swappa could pull the listing. Link me some of the horror stories that you're talking about through instant message. I'm very interested in seeing this!

Well these kinda things happen to people that doesn't know what types of questions to ask. People has to have some common sense. Do you think for 1 second that I would pay any amount of money for something without first asking 101 questions.
