The s4 is 900$ expected price in India, I am definitely not paying that much.
Is buying a locked phone and unlocking from US, or buying an unlocked phone a better option.
Basically, I want the cheapest way to get the s4 and have it work internationally. This thread will help everyone surely.
Anyone has anything to chime in?
I think u mean $900 and I was hearing it's $200 on contract there's no way it's that expensive off contract

Depreciation is the cheapest way to get the S4.
If you get the S4 in 2015, it will be around $300.

Your Question must be asked in Q/A Forum buddy.
BTW, In india Airtel / Aircel/ Idea / Vodafone may start a contract but you need to pay more then market price in installments.

If you want to get s4, better wait for note 3's launch. Last year, as soon as note 2 launched, the price of s3 drooped very rapidly.
yes wait is only option for now to get the cheapest one ..
may be by the launching of note 3 drop the price for s4...

Wait until Black Friday. The GS4 might be $.99 at Sams Club with a new contract.

If you sell your current phone you can put that to the s4 making it seem cheaper.

Just traded my vibrant at Target for 90 bucks and they are having a sale on galaxy s2 for 99.99 so with tax I paid 15.99 for the phone. Its for new and upgrade. Thought I would share.

Sweet deal! I didnt know Target took trade ins on phones. Where was it at?
Sounds SWEET!
Now time to convince T-mobile for an early upgrade. Any ideas? I'm not a very good debater.
Great deal!
Ahh... I envy the US market so much. Here in Brazil a sgs2 costs at least 17 times more than what Target was selling. And nobody does decent tradeins here.
LUCKY GUY!
I went to my Target and bestbuy and they pretty much told me to **** off because a deal like that is impossible haha gotta love the american attitude.
What?! This is amazing. I'm sappy for you, and myself haha.

Yeah thanks guys. The trade in program was through next tag I think. They take all kinds of stuff too.

In order to "upgrade" you need to essentially extend your contract right?
Edit..
Never mind I just re-read the OP.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
so I guess what it comes down is extend the contract now and get a Galaxy 2 (for almost free) or wait till it expires to resign and get a Galaxy 3? Probably will wait if that's the case.
Yeah that's usually the case.

Was just browsing the samsung site after i got my new S3, and wow I can't believe it! My S2 gets a quote of $135 from Samsung directly! that's right! i can mail in my phone to samsung and they will give me a cheque for it!
anyone tried this service? do they pay you exactly what is quoted?
Seems to work in US and Canada ATM.
also is the S2 worth more than $135 on the used market?

Your s2 is worth more when you sell it privately. Avoid these type of 'deals' unless you really don't care for the phone and don't wish to make much profit off of it.

www.gazelle.com and www.usell.com I've seen offers for the GS2 as high as $200 recently.
I've found eBay instant sale usually pays the most. looks like up to $220 depending on which S2.

Hmm didn't expect this to turn into an offer thread lol. I have no prior experience with ebay I just wanted convenience. Also I'm from Canada, market is probably slightly different here. Maybe I'll see if my friends can help me sell it on ebay and whatnot. Don't want to be a victim of fraud though, does ebay guarantee you get the money if someone scams you?

I work for Att and the refurbished galaxy notes are like brand new no scratches, nothing wrong with them. It just means that someone could have returned it, exchanged it or something was wrong with it but now it's fixed. I was looking at a white one and some how it had a brand new white skin/screen protector and all the other ones did not. But hey its a good deal get it. :

Sorry, but someone looking at the note probably isn't cross shopping it against anything from Apple. This is perfect for the MAJORITY of people, like many I know, who aren't tech snobs (like me). I own the note and its a great device. This is a fantastic deal for someone who wants a great phone!
Good find OP, will pass it along to some friends.

Not necessarily, the OG Note was apparently $750 retail price on AT&T.
Also, walmart just leaked some on contract prices for T-Mo and it looks to be $299 w/ contract
I gave up and got the white from Newegg for $649 and Fatwallet cashback (~4 extra percent off). If the AT&T version isn't screwed all to hell, I'll sell the international for a small loss and move on. Easy. Not interested in waiting until mid November.
If you are looking to get the Note 2 on T-Mobile and are worried about having to pay the full price. Call a tmo representative and talk about their 2 tier early upgrading plans. It renews your contract but you still got a much larger price off.

I'm on the Value plan, so... no dice for me . But for those of you on a Classic plan, this is the way to go. Although if you want, you can say you want to talk to retentions and try to get the "Android Data plan" which is an old 5GB plan for $15 a line.
