Hi there,my friend has a uncle and I ask if he can buy the atrix for new and send me.
so he it's in spring , he went to att store and ask for atrix off contract and the executive say there is no phone only because he hasn't an account on att and offer 300 us in contract I was like wtf.
So where I can buy atrix cheap? Seems best buy and others are 600 us, will be nice having atrix for 500 so, any recommendations? Or what he can say in att store ?
Thanks in advance

Off-contract pricing is still meant for AT&T customers and that is why it is $499. What you want is a hardware only price, which is $599. Some AT&T stores will sell you the phone at a hardware-only price ($599), others will only sell to AT&T customers.
Your best bet is go to Best Buy and pick one up. Now, you could also get lucky and find a store willing to sell you the phone at an off-contract price but I think that would be rare.

Do you have a link for this? All I see online at the AT&T store is the $199 price with a contract.
I got mine on AT&T off contract at $499, and I did not even give them my account, phone no. etc.
why do you keep asking this? you know already that the atrix is 500$ off contract to at&t customers. since you and i aren't at&t customers, the cheapest as of right now is 600$ via amazon.
i'm waiting for mine friday at the earliest or next week (carnival holiday monday and tuesday)
phone: 600$
shipping to venezuela: 35$
unlock code: 20$

im asking not online, because i have a friend there so its a waste order online when someone can buy it from 500 in att store just need maybe a friend with att and just buy it with no contract, you can buy it online perhaps, some of us know people in usa that can get it cheaper
I had some issues with this but finally got a best buy to price match at&t at 499.
Amazon for 599 (as i did, im in canada)
or Bestbuy.com

Apparently not, if you can't buy it for $500 without an AT&T plan. If you want it with no questions asked, it's $600 right now. That is all he was trying to say.

How did you get BestBuy to price match the $499 AT&T off contract price?
Which store? How loud did you yell?
Bought my Atrix last night. They told me they would only match prices if I had a paper AD and that a website listing would not be sufficient. I'm an AT&T customer not due for upgrade til later this year. So got stuck with the off contract pricing. Wanted the $499 AT&T price but paid the $599 price at BestBuy so I could use my BB card.
wowzer....you paid an extra hundo to use your card at best buy :/
Do u have 4g network if you unlocked it?

Yeah, really. What was the logic in that? The 18 month 0% financing? If it was just for the reward zone points, I'm sorry but that extra $100 won't even get you an extra $5 reward zone coupon.
well i ask my uncle on United states and At&t refuse sell :S and the a friend of him went as at&t customer and say only after one month of contract :S
so i willtry do this: but phone on contract($200) the after 3 days terminate contract ETF AFAIK its $325 so i hope i can get it for $525 us so any thoughs??? thanks
The trick is to just sign up for a pre paid account or by a 15$ go account that will make you a att customer by default that's what I did paid 499$ off contract.

Went back to a different BB over the weekend, got the $499 price match no problem.
They called a local AT&T Corporate Store to verify the price and available stock.
Once that was established, they credited my account.
I'm very leery of these internet sites. I've been scammed on eBay, and I've already listed it on Craigslist. I searched around and found Gazelle.com, but they have horrible reviews. Best Buy and Radioshack both buy back old equipment, but for a horribly low return, and it's only in store credit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Craigslist is your best bet

What carrier is the phone with and how much are you asking?
Are you in Canada ? I would say Kijiji.ca
I have great success selling and buying products that are advertised.
I'm in the US, the phone is on AT&T (locked), and I was thinking $150-$200 with all the accessories. Is that around the right price? I have a car charger and a case for it.
Imagine you'll be hard pressed to get that when ATT sells them for $99 new.
Captivate selling for $300-400 on Kijiji in Toronto. I think your price is reasonable. Not everyone is eligible for a $99 upgrade and sometimes people need to replace lost/damaged phones or simply can't wait for upgrade pricing.
I would say Craigslist is your best place to sell in your area. Happy Selling !

But you need to buy into a 2-yr contract with that $99. $200 for an (albeit locked) phone with no contract seems fair to me. AT&T's no commitment price for a new Focus is $499.
@OP, I would suggest eBay but their fees are very high. Maybe one of the more popular mobile phone sites has a marketplace?
I've seen two different no commitment costs at two different ATT stores. One was $499 and the other $549. Did they raise the no commitment cost recently. I'm thinking one store forgot to change the label. Has anyone seen it any cheaper besides eBay?
@ one point it was $99.99 at bestbuy with a 2-yr contract. cheapest i know of right now is radio shack for $149.99 with a 2-yr contract.
Off contract the lowest i've seen is bestbuy for 499.99. everywhere else..$549.99
just checked best buy, looks to be 599 now.
I got mine from AT&T for $500
BestBuy had it for $600 (on launch day) when I went to go get it.
Was wondering if u were me should i upgrade to a atrix or stick with the arc?

Some stores are offering case, BT headset, and car charger with Atrix for a slightly higher price. Could be why the difference if one store was and not the other.

I saw yesterday one for 470$ on e-bay, brand new and unused, but without original box package. Cheapest i saw with package was 520$ i think. My father want Atrix, so i am thinking either to give him my Atrix and to get SGS2/HTS Sensation for myself, or to tell him to get another Atrix, hard to decide...
I bought it for 599$ on amazon 2 weeks ago.
just went into an att store and they refused to sell me a atrix at the no commitment cost. ATT is ridiculous. They said they rarely ever sell items at the no contract price and they are no longer allowed. I could have stayed and spoken to a manager and probably gotten the phone but it was not worth the hassel.
At one point online (around release) , AT&T had the phone for no contract price of $268.
Check authorized agent stores for the no commitment prise. Saw a store that had it for $459 no commitment. As far as 2yr contract the cheapest I have seen in person is Walmart for $118.

Was probably an AT&T Auth. Retailer. They don't make any money when you buy it full retail and would rather keep it around for a sale they can make money on.

Purchased at ATT corporate store for 499.
If you live in the los angeles area and check craigslist they go for around $400 used and $450 brand new. LA Craigslist is always filled with postings because so many people live in la.
Hi everyone,
What do you guys think about this source?
http://techfibe.com/2011/06/17/exclusive-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-landing-on-bell-july-14th/
Looks like we Canadians might get our hands on this device next month.
I was going to purchase the international version but now waiting for official release seems like a better option. Do you guys have any predictions for the price without contract? (Bell sells Atrix for $600 so It might be a bit expensive than that, this would still be cheaper than buying it online right now b/c of all the shipping and tax costs)
I sure hope it's true
I wonder if it's the same version as the international one, or if it's NFC enabled?
I'd really like to change my SGS for this beauty, but this time I'll test the sh*t out of the GPS, before the 14 days "buyer's remorse" period it's over.

This is good news for fellow canucks. After ordering it from handtec and paying import taxes it came up to almost $800. Don't mind having an unbranded and factory unlocked model though. And yeah, it'll be interesting to see if it ends up having NFC, even though id never see myself actually using it.

I doubt it will have NFC, it would be nice to have it but I really don't care as I don't think anyone will actually use it for next two years.
The only reason I am holding back on ordering from handtec (390 GBP = $620 CAD.. price has dropped quite a bit) is b/c of the warranty and returns policy. If the device is defective I would have to ship it back to Europe and its just too much of a hassle.
I am not too worried about the tax/import charges as I will have to pay taxes if I buy from bell. So in the end I'll end up saving around $25 if I buy from Bell. And since the phone will be locked it ends up costing the same as handtec, that is if Bell sells the phone for $600-$625.
On a side note, I do look forward to switching from Wind to Bell or Rogers though. What do you guys think about the service, which one is better in terms of reception in GTA, Ontario?

It will end up more with the crappy CC exchange rate you'll end up getting. I remember calculating my exchange cost on Royal Bank site to $723 ..Visa ended up charging $766.

Rogers for sure, I'm in Markham and travel to Hamilton for school and I always have reception in both areas... but Rogers plans are expensive, thats the only downfall.
Mobile Syrup reports the HTC Sensation is being released by Bell on July 5th. The approximate retail value is $549.95 which would be some nice competition to the Samsung Galaxy S II.
I should sell my Incredible S before these two monsters hit Bell
Was in TO past weekend and checked out the phone @ Pac Mall and the price for the S2 is between $700 to $720 unlocked depending on which store you ask. Already ordered the case via eBay and once I get the case (when this strike is over) then will get the phone. I am with Rogers and IMHO always thought Rogers had better reception than Bell but probably that's cuz I have always been biased against Bell and the idea that their reception is not as good as Rogers. =)

Have both... I would get the Galaxy S2 first... it's actually faster than any Tegra tablet and can play 1080p MKV files (unlike Tegra tablets which struggle with even high bitrate 720p files). But the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is quite nice in its own right =)

I can confirm this release.
I was at my Bell store and the guy said the release was in the "third week of July"
I asked for the price but he said he was unsure at the time, he said he would probably know next week.
I also went down to the Rogers store in the same mall and the clerk there had no idea what the S2 was... guess it isn't coming to Rogers?

Once again, Att is pissing me off... They don't sell off contract at the stores... Man.. they are so lame...
i wouldn't be surprised considering stocks are scarce enough
Huh?

They only had 10 shipped, 5 of each color, and two for displays..

I will never go into an AT&T store again. I needed a replacement sim for my iPad and they refused to give me one without buying an F'n accessory, the cheapest one was $26. I just ordered one off Amazon for $4. From now on, it's the online store or Amazon.
Call customer service and complain. AT&T is not supposed to do that, but some stores do it anyway.
Wow. I manage an AT&T store in norcal and I have never heard of either of those complaints. We do free SIM cards (sometimes we ask for $10 on iPad or micro Sims cuz they cost us) and off contract phones. You have to realize that the reps earn commission from contacts so the rep probably didn't want to waste his time. I really don't agree with that but next time just ask for a manager.

That does not sound right...I would check a different store. The sales rep may make a commission on the contract but ATT the company makes money from the no commitment price on the phone and not the subsidy. Short term thinking is what dooms companies...

I suppose that is pretty relative to store volume, phone type and features on type account. It's not much, you really have to sell several phones per day to get a decent comm check.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Corporate stores SHOULD do the sim replacement for free, no questions asked. If they refused, time to call in and complain.
As for selling the phone full price, reps don't make ANY commission on a no commitment sale, they get paid on the contract and the accessories. So they probably wanted to horde the phones while the supply was scarce, giving it only to those customers they were getting paid on. I know when Sprint released the first EVO, we were under strict orders from corporate to not sell them at full price until the second week of release. I doubt AT&T passed out those orders, but something to think about.
They don't make any commissions on none contract sales but they also don't need to spend their time setting up the account. It's like buying a candy bar at 7-Eleven. Once they're done with the transaction, they can go on to help the next contract customer.
Probably less to do with time and more to do with scarcity.

Thank you soo much! After that Verizon BS, I had to consider going to a provider that was honestly my absolute last option .. AT&T .. and I refreshed on Amazon before midnight and they didn't have the white 16gb available .. but I checked again after I read your post an hour ago and there she was .. $549, 2-day shipping, no tax
I'll pray for the Verizon folks .. Meanwhile ... I will be crossing my fingers for solid HSPA+/LTE coverage and Happily flashing on Tuesday
Ohhh .. and Amazon has a 30-Day return policy to go with that Off Contract ... #Winning!!
Same here, corporate att store in lynnwood wa. Guy refused to sell the phone for no commitment price. Not only that, he said they wouldn't be able to sell them without a contract for seven months or so. I guess I could get a manger and raise hell but why bother. Here in Washington, sales tax is almost 10% so I would have ended paying 605 no commitment price. I guess I can get one on craigslist cheaper and no taxes. Lame thing is, amazon charges sales tax in washington, provided that its sold by amazon itself.
