"T-Mobile Galaxy S II No Contract for $299 @ Walmart
Available at Walmart Wireless locations now:
T-Mobile No-Contract Galaxy S II for $299 with activation of one of the following:
T-Mobile Prepaid Monthly 4G - $30 and up monthly
Walmart Family Mobile Activation ($25 activation kit which includes SIM card)
Details:
Existing Walmart Family Mobile customers can apparently still get the $299 deal. Existing Monthly 4G Customers cannot get the deal, however they can activate the new phone and should be able to call in to transfer their previous account info into the new account.
I'll be answering questions here (also on the page linked below). Walmart does have these, look at the photos on the page. Ask someone competent in the Walmart Connection Center and ask if they have them in stock. They got the update on their computers last week on the deal and how it works. Stores received them between August 8th through the 13th - some earlier.
Source:
http://www.thatsitguys.com/news/t-mobile-galaxy-s-ii-goes-prepaid-at-walmart-349
Adding this to clear up questions
There seems to be a lot of incorrect assumptions on here as well as a lot of misinformation being given. Let me clarify everything. Also, it would be worth reading the info listed in the source.
This deal works ONLY at Walmart stores back in the Connection Center. Stores should have received them and should have the info tags posted next to their Walmart Family Mobile display. There are no additional discounts or rebates available on this. The Galaxy S II is $570 outright, so you are effectively getting this phone for $270 off already.
There are two separate ways to attain the Galaxy S II for $299:
¤ Activate a Walmart Family Mobile account. This will require a $25 activation kit, which includes your WFM SIM card. For more info on that, view the source. Existing customers of WFM should be able to get this deal after confirming their account.
¤ Buy the Prepaid variant - aka, the T-Mobile Monthly 4G Pink Box. This includes the Prepaid SIM card in the box, which they will activate for you. You must get a monthly plan valued at $30 and up.
Not all stores have these phones yet, but that has to do with their ordering system and their competence."
Not bad at all, at that price its kinda just better to get the Gnex though. To each his own though.

Agree with you there.. Galaxy Nexus is a way better phone (IMO) for only $50 more.. and its unlocked so you are not limited to WFM or T-mobile. You could use StraightTalk if you wanted.. which is what I use..
This offer on the S2 is still a good opportunity, special since its the only Decent phone available for Prepaid customers (WFM is prepaid too)
(hunting a deal on the Galaxy Nexus, need one for the girlfriend )
Also of note is in Canada the same version of the SII (just minus t-mobile branding) is available for $300 with a $100 gift card from Koodo or $150 on their tab
i wish I could find the Dam phone,I've been to 2 Wally World stores..no luck
I probably will go buy one at koodo.

I went ahead and grabbed one of these for a couple of reasons. I really wanted a risk free way of trying out Tmo $30.00 plan and the Galaxy Nexus is $80.00 more for me in Cali after shipping and tax.
Since these are going for more on the local CL I can try out the service and then break even when I sell it.
It's going to be interesting carrying my Gnex and the S2 around at the same time. Both are pretty good sized phones!

I've got one listed, additionally i'll drop some on the price for a transfer of billing responsibility, approx 15 months left on it. Are you interested, or only interested in a full 2 year subsidized contract?
I was able to snag a new one for $30..
Thanks for the offer though..

I'm located in BC, Canada. Does anyone have experience to buying google devices on play.google.com?
Those of you in Canada, did you have to pay tax? Or is it $309 outright?
One more question, can we preorder the phone or do we have to wait til Nov 13 to buy the phone online?
Thanks~!
I'm sure there will be taxes collected somehow... as for when we order I'm not sure. Hoping earlier then the 13 so we get it on that day. So in other words a pre-order.

When you place your order it will be from Google Canada Corp. You will be charged HST and shipping. There are no pre-orders.
Thanks for the promptly replies! I think I'll buy it in stores to save on the shipping. How soon do you think Futureshop or Bestbuy will start selling the N4? Right on the 13th?
Thanks~!
Doubt it. Maybe 2-7 days after. There hasn't been any leaked info about anyone carrying it in stores in Canada yet. Same with carriers. The only carrier that I have seen that has any info on if they will be carrying it is tmobile. That's it.
I could be wrong tho.

Buying from bestbuy/futureshop will be more expensive.
And you will have to pay tax on it aswell.

For profit. They know people will pay $20 or 30 more because they won't buy it online. You might be able to price match it if your lucky.
Profit. Cover costs like shipping. Marketing etc. Wouldn't be surprised if I see if for 450+ in stores.

Not really. They get bulk discounts. You will be surprised on how much bestbuy/futureshop actually gets them for.
Well hopefully it won't be too expensive... When I got the nexus 7 from best buy when it first came out, they charged the same as play store (259 CAD).
$403.20 after tax
dayum
btw, anybody here on wind/mobilicity?
As an employee of best buy in Canada I can tell you that the company won't be selling the phone outright. (Galaxy nexus wasn't sold either) Makes absolutely no profit (all profits come from activations not phone sales) so your best bet, and mine, is the Google play store.

Are you talking about the nexus 4 specifically or (smartphones) in general? If in general I doubt they'll be able to get that much of a discount, especially off the 8gb version.
Wait a moment! So for Canadians (me) it's 359.99 + 20.00 Shipping + 13% Tax?
Are you forreal ._.

I didn't make any profit from selling my S3 ;'(
UK buyer here. I was under the impression that the £279 for the 16 gig included tax.
After having another look on the "Devices on Google Play Terms of Sale (Great Britain)" page it states:
All prices include VAT.
All applicable taxes will be presented at checkout, even if they are not displayed on the product page.
So what is it, the price shown includes VAT, or it doesnt and an extra 80 quid will be thrown on top of the 279?

Lets use this thread to post when your Note 4 gets shipped. I pre ordered mine with Verizon online on 9/19 and according to the invoice I got it is supposed to ship by Oct 23.
Im hoping its before that!
Mine said two days before the 23rd of October

If the in store date is the 23d that seems reasonable.
Best Buy is going to have it on the 17th and you get the $200 instant gift card when you pick it up. Win-win. Get it before Verizon store and get the $200 right then without waiting on check from Samsung.
Mine also said the 23rd. But I can't see BB releasing on the 17 th and verizon not doing the same thing.
We all know Big V would rather ship early then change the date and end up being late.

Sorry if there was a misunderstanding on my part, but this is after trading in a working smartphone. This is the order I was told I should do it:
1. Preorder(get's you a $50 giftcard as well) the Note 4 within the specific time range(9/19/14-10/16/14)
2. On release day, bring in your trade-in and go through the process of getting the gift card for it.
3. Use both giftcards to buy the Note 4(of course you pay the difference if there's anything left over which there should be)

I preordered mine on Monday from Verizon and they said I should have it by the 23rd.
But...

Damn it, I want to post on a dev thread. This 10 post thing is stupid. I'm an OSS dev already and this hoop jumping is nuts.
mine says still processing on the verizon site. Is everyone else seeing the same thing?
Well, I finally succumbed to the pressure... Preordered mine via the Verizon's website... Now all the obsessed clicks and refreshes of these forums shall commence lol.
The price of the Galaxy Note 4 has been reduced online to $299, from $349.
I had already pre-ordered at $349. I called about a refund of the $49, and I was told to call back when I received the device, and I would be given a $50 credit on my account at that time.

Hopefully Best Buy will follow suit and the final price on delivery will be $299..then take off a $200 trade-in...woo hoo!
Good to know, thanks. Never would have thought to check the price after I ordered the phone. Will call when I get it and ask for the same 50 bucks.
I just got off the phone with sprint. They are not making me cancel my order and reorder. They said they will credit my credit card the difference paid when I activate the new phone.

I called order processing and asked for the $50 dollar refund on Saturday. The girl put me on hold for a while and then came back and said she would apply the $50 to my account. A half hour later I got a text saying the refund had been applied, checked and it was there. I am on SERO I don't if this made the difference.

Anybody have any idea why the best buy price hasn't dropped to $299 like everywhere else?
Is Best Buy still doing the $200 trade in? I judt went to preorder and dont see it..

**Traded in my old HTC 8925, Sprint gave me $ zero, lol.. hope the Samsung program pulls through...
Something strange is happening to me on sprint.com. I try to do a pre-order, getting to the last part where I would charge my CC. but my total is $300 with only .65 cents in taxes. I'm in California and it should be $64. I already have an in-store pre-order and traded it my device in, but I am now pulling my hair why at sprint.com i'm not getting charge taxes.... 2yr renewal price!

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.
