I'm sure most people know about corporate discounts but for those that don't, check with your employer and your college (if you went) to see if they have an agreement for corporate discounts. My company gets 10% off and through my college I get 15% off. Even alumni are eligible for the discount. I obviously use the discount from my school. (just got laid off so couldn't use the one from work anyways)
That could save you a lot of money on some plans. However, the discounts only apply to contracted plans. The non-contract plans are not eligible for corporate discounts.

My company has discounts for att, verizon and sprint. No love for tmobile.

If you sign up for AMWAY global you get 12% discount on t mobile. Its only 50 dollars a year but you need referral which is very easy. If anything I can refer you. I save about $20 a month. I only spend 50 a year. Multiply 20 x 12(months) that's 240 - 50, that's $190 a year I save!! And if you have higher rates like family plans you can save even more!!!

Just tell Tmobile that you work for Walmart. I believe they give you a 15% discount.
Usually colleges you get 15% but if you have Even More Plus tmobile only give you 6%

Please provide a source, I work for tmo and I can tell you that discounts are in full effect for even more plans(contract) and it is a great tool to use since all the other carriers offer something of the sort.
Also AAA members no longer get discount unless they already had discount applied, AAA pulled out a while ago

My brother is due for an upgrade and he's new to android. I think the phone will be great for him. So I was wondering where is the best place to buy an epic? I'm looking in terms of price and deals. So far, the best deal I found was at radio shack where I can get one for $49 + tax w/ contract after trading any old working phone.

Are you sure? the radioshack employee told me that it was $149 for an upgrade, then take off $100 after trading in any old working phone, which would come to $49 + taxes...said that the promotion was going to end saturday, so I'm assuming it must've just started. I'm gonna call them to double check.

wow, can't beat that. ridiculous that the evo is still pulling $199 on contract
Talked to two different radio shack stores just now. The first store that I called said that its for new contracts only. The second one I called said that upgrades were indeed eligible for the offer, and the first store I called didn't know what they were talking about. She even went on to say that she just recently did the same offer for an upgrading customer...so I don't know what to believe.
Well I manage a RadioShack, so I'm pretty sure that it is only for new activations. The store maybe able to add the $100 trade and save rebate but the store will charged back for it.

I called a 3rd and 4th store in my area, both said that upgrades were a go. They also said that ANY working trade-in phone would qualify for the deal, doesn't matter the value. I guess I'll just have to wait until my brother and I head down there later this week.

Don't hate the company because you left them or were terminated. Yes they do give a lot for iphone trade in but there is never a price drop for the iphone either. As far as love for other phones. A $100 trade in towards the epic to bring it down to $50 is pretty good. Love them our hate them you still get some of the best prices out there and employees who will go that extra mile for you instead of just clerking you out.

Looked at the radioshack ad. The epic price IS $149.99 on new activation, and the $100 trade-in IS also on new activation....
....Buuuuut...went to my local radioshack store. She took my cheap $20 virgin mobile phone, and rang up the epic under my brother's line. Kept ringing up to $198 after a couple tries, then she did something with the computer and it rang up to $98 after taxes...

I paid $60 each shipped for our contract extension Epics. I used wirefly friends and family who runs radio shacks site sales. The price on the Epics seems to change weekley. They are back up to $130 now.
I just shopped around untill I found the best price.
Pre-order the EVO LTE from Wirefly (Upgrade Price) for $139.
Thought I would pass this along, updates from Wirefly as we get them.
Price is now $139.
It will save you some $ over paying retail.

Best buy has it for the same price. If you preorder it, they'll give you a $50 gift card that I believe you can use towards the phone when it comes in.
Isn't the $119 price for new Sprint customers only?
Just checked - apparently it isn't only for new customers. I got it to work for me, and I selected "upgrade a line", not "new line."

Seems to depend on the Best Buy. I got nothing when I went there, they said they stopped doing that with this phone. I will get my gift card "with the purchase of the EVO 4G LTE" as the sign states (basically, when I go pick it up). Seems some BB employees are confused. I wish mine were, haha.
Amazon also has otterbox cases for pre-order.

1) I had the same thing when I first went on and was confused. Then I went to the link on the OP, and it pulled up an offer for a Verizon phone in an area code I was unfamiliar with. I went to "change carrier" and went to Sprint, then went to "change phone" and picked the EVO 4G LTE. I then saw it came up as $119. I thought to myself "oh, it must be area-code specific." But for fun, I then changed the area code to mine. It then popped up as $119 in my area as well. Somehow, that link is magical.
2) They ship on release day. So you can expect your phone 1 - 3 days later. Maybe 4 with the weekend...

I haven't used them before, but my order confirmation says the phone is shipping on May 18, with free 2-3 day shipping. That's close enough to release day for me. Hopefully, it'll ship even earlier, but time will tell on that one.

All the other carriers have their own "Official" thread so why not
Figured this would would be a good central location where fellow AT&T victims, err, customers, can help each other out and discuss all things GSIII.
I preordered mine yesterday at Best Buy, 16gb Pebble Blue. Got an XtremeGuard full body protector coming for it and gonna order up a TPU case tonight so I have some sort of protection for it until my Otterbox arrives. I hope we (US S4 GS3) get our dev section soon so our devs can do what they do. It never ceases to amaze me at what those guys can do
Can't wait to get mine and do some comparing with my One X. Preordered the white model today through ATT.

It was an instant rebate. I highly doubt a rebate will be in the box. If that was the case, I would be getting mine for $99. Sounds like the rep doesn't know what they're talking about. I would call again and explain what the other rep told you. If you are upgrade eligible, you should only pay $199 plus tax.

after going through 4 methods to try to pre-order and retain my unlimited data, i decided... i'm just going into the store on launch day. that way i can 1) get the phone at 9am instead of waiting till i get home from work and 2) keep my unlimited without extra hassle (the store has no problem keeping unlimited on immediate phone sales but for some reason it doesn't work for them on pre-orders)
bought mine online at bestbuy.com had no problems keeping my plan or unlimited data intact
I'm wondering what people are getting for sd cards, there's quite a few 32gb out there, only a couple 64gb ones... I think i'll stick with the 32gb as it took me 2 years to fill up the 16gb on my sgs1... are there any reviews, comparison, etc for these micro cards? i know these sd cards can really vary in terms of r/w speeds and what not.

Think I will wait to get my hands on a galaxy s3 in store before ordering. Waiting a couple months and that $199 price with 2 year contract should drop a little.
Edit. With SD cards, you want the highest class number. Those are the fastest. But be careful because the most extreme speedy cards might not be supported.

All orders will go to a backordered status because there isn't any actual stock as of now. I ordered at 1am, an hour after preorders went live, and mine also says backordered. The same exact thing happened when I preordered the One X and it shipped on time.

Best buy has there own trade in program, it's different from the Samsung promo. You get a 200$ bb gift card for any working smart phone, and they say *any* smart phone, no 10$ minimum like Samsung promo. My friend is turning in an old Treo.
Also the Samsung promo will not be honored if note 4 purchased at best buy.
