wish i had seen this when i got home o well.. but the good thing.. scroll down and look at shipping
"Ships May 18 FREE "
I'd consider it, but I'm gonna go to Best Buy in a few and preorder it there so I can get it at Launch. Looks like May 18th is the official day, woohoo!
Yep, same here. Order submitted through sprint's website.....came on here.... /facepalm
Oh well. Doesn't look like ordering from Sprint directly gives you the google wallet credit either....
/crossing my fingers that the devs can S-off this beast htcdev unlock = lame
my understanding is they usually ship a day or so early for pre orders but considering the shape my evo is in i wont mind waiting.. i should post pics its a frankenstien.. no volume buttons power button stolen from an optimus.. been thru 2 glasses ( on its 3rd now ) and 2 lcds.. wifi antenna is broke off the board.. but for 2 years its served me good and taken quite a beating.. i wont make same mistake as last time ill be getting an otter box
Darn, already placed my pre-order with Sprint direct before I saw this.
On the phone with them now to either cancel or get a $50 credit.

Ya thought about it, but I also have that Best Buy $50 off if I upgrade my phone in 2012 with them (forgot the name of the promotion) plus the buyout cost so that's like $100 total. I can wait.

Sprint offered to cancel the pre-order rather than issue a credit. I ended up letting the order process. Wasn't sure I could stay on the same plan via WireFly. We're on a better plan than they have listed.
Side note... The agent in sales support insisted that the phone would ship in a couple of days. I ended up talking to a supervisor who agreed that probably wasn't the case but indicated it would likely ship and be received prior to the official launch on the 18th. Not sure that I'm all that confident in that statement either. We'll wait and see.

I ended up sticking with it, since I had no choice. And I prolly would have stuck with it if had an option. I have dealt with wirefly in the past, over a mail in rebate for parents. They lost the form, so i called to ask wirefly for another. Their response was no you are SOL, we can't send you another form. So there went 100$.
After that experience, I am a little more hesitant to believe anything on their site. i.e. screwing up my current plan by ordering with them.
I also get a 25% discount, so if I go to Best Buy I will lose that? I don't understand why.

No it doesnt, I have always had a corporate discount and have ordered my last 2 phones from Wirefly keeping the same plan and discounts.
Sero plan with wirefly?
I'm thinking of preordering with wirefly. My Sero premium plan will remain?
This way I can save my $50 bestbuy credit for possible purchase of siii in Q4
You can get a no contract Sprint or AT&T S3 from BestBuy.com for $699.99 + tax.

I'd rather save those credits for a total or laptop I would need in the future. That's 150 more than the carriers! I unless if that includes a extended warranty or something.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Best buy always charges more for off contract phones than carrier off contract price since they want people to only buy contract phones. They only get commission by selling contracts not by selling off contract phones.
OP - not sure if you thought this is a deal, this is the worst possible price you will pay for the carrier phone even off contract.
Edit: I remember buying Nexus S from Best Buy and the sales guy was like looking at me on why the heck I'm spending $550 on an off contract phone. He was trying to push me to buy a contract phone, I laughed off, bought my nexus s and walked off happily
I notice you can only get a no-contract S3 from AT&T in-store. So I'm thinking for impatient/worried people they may order via BB as they can pre-order now to guarantee one on launch day. Like others have mentioned though I feel it won't be hard to get on launch day, but who knows with the whole Int. debacle.

I wasn't able to do it online, when you click the "no committment" option is stated just in-store. There was no way I could add the phone without contract to my cart online, it would always prompt to add a plan/etc.
No-Commitment Pricing
You may purchase a new AT&T phone without a contract at the no-commitment price. This non-discounted equipment purchase option does not require a two-year contract or other long-term service commitment. No-commitment equipment pricing is available to customers that are not on a prepaid or GoPhone® plan. You can purchase a phone at no-commitment prices at AT&T retail stores. For an AT&T retail store near you, visit our store locator.

I was able to add No commitment pricing without any issue. I took it all the way and just had to check out. I have always been able to order online for no contract price, it's only in some stores that they refuse to sell till 90 days have passed for release. Here is the screen shot
NOTE: Login to your account and then click upgrade phone. There you can select no commitment price without adding or modifying any of your plan.
Ugh, had me freakin' out for a second. For $700 I'd just buy an international version. $550 sounds much more reasonable for a no contract bleeding edge device Wait, is that $550 for 16GB or 32?
Dumb question (sorry), but does no contract also mean UNLOCKED?
phone itself is still sim locked to whichever carrier you purchased from.

Unfortunately not since it is still a week away from being released. You might have to wait until Thanksgiving/Valentine's Day for the SGS3 to be free since they usually offer these specials around holidays.
I went into a Tmobile store for a new sim card and while I was there inquired about the terms. If I were eligible, I would have to change my plan and my per month cost would end up being much higher than it is now. So if you take them up on this, make sure you understand the terms and conditions as it is not as easy as walking in and getting a new phone for free. You have to pay the 300 (for the OneS) plus taxes and upgrade fees, keep the line open until you get your rebate back, and change your plan to one that may not be better for you.
If I had an upgrade available, I would buy it from Bestbuy as it is only 100 and you dont have to change your plan, just extend it. Plus no waiting for a rebate.

I guess it appears anyone who takes PRE-orders is good.
According to the above - are ALL US verizon wireless stores participating retailers?
I ask because I have a government account.. and I've "pre ordered" for 299 - I get a 100 dollar credit for upgrading and from above it sounds like all I have to do is walk into a verizon store and trade in a phone.
Does it have to be a verizon phone? Or would a sprint phone work too?
If it has to be verizon - what phones are you guys getting to trade in? I'll have to buy one somewhere.
What other stores are participating?

Looking on Verizon's website it looks as if they will accept any phone from any carrier. As far as going into any Verizon store and being able to trade it in for cash I am not sure, but imagine they all the corporate stores are capable of doing so.
What I am more interested in is what other retailers count. I have an old HTC Aria that I received free when Alltel merged with AT&T that is almost like new. If I go to Verizon's website to get an estimated value it is rated at $0 dollars trade in. However, if I trade it in to Amazon it is worth more than the $10 dollar minimum a phone needs to take advantage of the $200 dollar deal.

Interesting, I just went to verizons site and got 9 dollars as the trade in value. Sigh.
wow it's great one :good:
I don't see anywhere on the Samsung rebate website where it says you have to preorder a phone through a contract with carrier. I think Verizon may require that because they handle the rebate for you.
The Samsung website clearly says if you preorder from BestBuy, you cannot submit for the rebate yourself.
I am ordering from Amazon, full price, and I plan on submitting paperwork for this rebate. I turned in an old phone for $10 to Amazon. If you preorder from Amazon and have store credit you may be able to finance the full price phone at 0 interest for 6 months as well. The rebate is first come first serve and it is not as sweet as an instant rebate from Best Buy or a carrier. I don't know for sure it will work but after reading the small print, I don't see why it would not.
The main thing the rebate stipulates is that the phone has to be purchased as a preorder and the trade in have a minimum $10 value.
FYI-there is a lot of press out there that the phone will be immediately discounted in November to drive up sales.
But that press was generated before Verizon pre-orders sold out. Waiting always saves you money.
I cannot wait any longer for this phone. I am down to one working old android with a cracked digitizer.
I figure even if this phone isn't all that and the new Galaxy 6 comes out in April or a waterproof Note comes out in December, I can always recoup something by reselling this fairly new device.

wonder if you can fudge the trade in receipt to $10, if you are applying for the rebate directly (not through Verizon).
I dont' see how Samsung can check that. I think they can just verify that you traded in a phone and whether or not you preordered.
FAQ
FAQ
There is an FAQ now linked at the bottom of the Promotion website page (cant post a link). It is two pages long and does clarify some of the rules, but not all. It does tell you what a 'Participating Retailer" is. Basically any physical or online retailer taking Pre-orders.
It also goes into more details on the Best Buy rules. Such as a 2 year activation is required.

At this point I'm just going to order it off of the b2b verizon wireless site. Cost is 299. Then you get a 99 dollar credit on your bill, bringing it down to 200. I'm going to trade in a sprint galaxy nexus to amazon and hope that they honor the deal. If they do, that means a note 4 for free! Then Whatever my current note 3 sells for on ebay is just the icing on the cake!!
I currently have unlimited data. What would be the best method of keeping my ULD while upgrading and taking advantage of this promo? If I wanted to do it at Best Buy, I would have to avoid going in the store entirely. Amazon, then?
I went ahead and sold my Note 3 for $350. Not a bad deal :silly:
Im on a govenment account as well.
I called and they sent me a padded envelope to put the phone in.
I sent in a AT&T iPhone 4 and got $65
Im waiting for the note 4 to arrive so I can get the rest of the $200 from Samsung.

Yeah that's my predicament. I am buying it full price on Amazon. It's the cheapest I found for an off contract price.
If you have an Amazon Store Credit, you can defer the payment 12 months without interest, So maybe apply for one before purchasing. I am hoping to get the price reduced by receiving a check from Samsung from their preorder promotional rebate by preording and trading in an old phone. Look at the deadline dates for that promotion, if you want to participate.
You could also go to Verizon, and see if they will cut you a deal in exchange for giving up your unlimited data, like 6GB for your current monthly bill total. That is if you really don't use the unlimited data.
A Verizon rep, told me even though we are grandfathered in, Verizon at any time can renigg on the unlimited data because they could say that the ULD was for 3G not 4G data service. I think they have their ULD customers reduced down to 20% or less now.
The other way is to wait longer and buy one used off Swappa. But if you go for the upgrade, you lose your unlimted data. They closed the loophole where you could transfer upgrades on a new family plan to the old ULD customer.

And you will be locked into a 2 year commitment and lose your udp. They closed that loophole this past spring.
OK forgive me if this has been answered CLEARLY but can somebody tell me how to pre order at full retail from Verizon and get the 200$ promo? Its so many conflicting statements here and I don't wanna fool with upgrade switching. Etc I just wanna get my 200 off and buy it from Verizon retail price.

I have been waiting for a VZW sub forum but none have been created yet.
I ordered 3 midnight black S8+ models on March 30. They are supposed to be delivered on April 21.
Damn, 3? Where are you coming from to get 3 S8+? Because my family of four took advantage of the BOGO for the S7 Edge last year but now I just have this temptation for the S8+ because the $15 a month thing returning the S7 Edge seems really good even though I have to be on the Unlimited.
Is it worth to go on the unlimited though? I currently have the New Verizon Plan 12gb with 10gb of Bonus data for life paying at around $183 with a special employee discount for 5 lines. If I upgrade to the unlimited, it'll be $200 for 5 lines and no discounts can be added...

don't think it's worth it to upgrade to unlimited depending on if you have carry over data and how much is left over at the end of every month. I currently have 4 lines on Verizon with 16Gb plan and 8gb bonus data with carryover. This month I have 35Gb left to use, never really use all of it anyway.
Also the $200 is before tax, with Verizon I think the tax equals to about $15-$20. And keep in mind they throttle your speed after 22Gb on unlimited. I also receive a 19% discount which I definitely don't want to lose. I'm planning on getting the best buy deal for my line for the s8+ though, only have to pay the tax which is about $77 and $100 off the phone, so $29/month as opposed to ordering on Verizon's website for $35/month. Would like to point out as well that on Verizon they want $120 tax upfront when preordering, not sure if that includes the $30 activation charge though.

Right now I have about less than 6GB remaining out of 22 with 3 more days to go until the billing cycle resets. And having 35GB remaining when your max is 22 as well is something I'm confused about. The only time I ever received as much was when hurricane Matthews hit and Verizon was helpful enough to pretty much give everyone unlimited data for 3-4 days and not affect your data cap. I had the luxury of having nearly 40GB.
Anyhow, one of the lines of 5 is currently being "leased" by a friend who's on it currently. I was being helpful to let him be on the plan for $30 a month as opposed to paying $45 on straight talk and it was because I needed someone to take a line for 6 months due to the adding a new line for the BOGO deal last year. If I do switch to the Unlimited, that would require him paying $40, which I guess I have to ask if he'd be okay with that.
That's the only real reason I want to see if the Unlimited is worth it to get a GS8+ for a value of $360 each if I traded in the S7 Edge. Sounds too good to pass but gotta think long term.... Ahaha

My max is 24Gb and I have carryover data, last month I had 11GB remaining so it was added to this month, hence 35GB. But yeah, if you're able to save $360 by trading in then why not, and I doubt your friend wouldn't mind paying the extra $10 for unlimited.

Actually saving $480 because it reduces it down to $360 from the retail price of $840.
Yeah, the only thing is that I was making $10 from him all this time because the current plan only charges $20 a line. He's saving $15 from buying Straight Talk but I'm making $10 from him being on our line. Lololol

What are the benefits to having the Business plan for you?
Pre ordered the Verizon S8+ in midnight black from Best Buy. There was a glitch during my order, so far it seems like my order will be honored for $25.83 a month.. I'm keeping a close eye on it.
Any one of you going to take advantage of the other special promotions that Costco has? They throw in a free Samsung Level U bluetooth headset. I could probably take these extra accessories to turn around and sell them for money back. Hmm...
none of you are interested in root?
i pre-orded mine from samsung directly but since the unlocked version is coming out like a month later i might cancel my order.

I use to do that almost right out of the box. I think once I got handy with the Note 5 and Nova Launcher, it took care of 90% of what I was trying to accomplish.
There are so many apks out there that handle the brunt of what I've been doing I just don't see the need.
... Even more so after using my iPhone 7 Plus. This locked down ecosystem is driving me ****ing nuts.
never mind just read they are all locked bootloaders unless you get a the exynos version, so the international version/non cdma.
hoping samsung ships them early, i pre-ordered at midnight. im replacing my trusty note 5 thats dying.

Wow that's all really nice. But is there a barrier to getting into it such as having a minimum required amount of users to be on it?

i looked at all the purchase outlets and buying from Samsung directly does mean you'll get it sooner than anyone not buying directly from Samsung.
By one day. 4/20 if u bought direct from Samsung, 4/21 for everyone else.

nice, hope they do honor that for u. same thing happened during my order, 25.83 was the price for S8, not the plus, but they corrected it to 29.
Thanks. Who made the correction in your price? I agreed to an installment plan that states $25.83 for the S8+. I've also called best buy a few times over my order. Apparently, there were others, like yourself that ran into this glitch. I was asked to forward on my confirmation email to the main supervisor. He just wanted to verify my order went through properly. There was no mention of the price difference after my order was reviewed. So I brought it up and he said that I was lucky and ended up with a great deal. Today I stopped in BB to mess with the + again and asked an employee to pull up my order. I saw it right on the screen so I think I'm ok. Until the phone is actually in my hand then I'll be relieved and can move on. Until then I'm feeling like my order is kinda tainted and there may be a chance for a mistake. I will keep following the progress and show that I agreed to an installment plan. I can't believe they can change it because I agreed to it and placed my order. However it turns out I'm excited for 4/21!

Forgot to add that the S8 is $27.91 on BB. So I'm not sure why Verizon lowered it to $25.83. I have screenshots of every step of the way. Fingers crossed.

i placed my order at Best Buy and not online, so the rep did the order for me. he was reading things off and for a moment he thought he put the wrong phone in (S8 instead of the S8+) but confirmed he got the right phone. unfortunately for me he stopped and did some key punching and it went back to the 29 price, which is the adjusted price after their $100 off promo.
