AT&T corporate stores in Northern California (and other select markets) is because they want to promote the Skyrocket for possible upcoming LTE markets. Such a pain, because I've been trying to exchange my device in-store for quite awhile.

If only LTE markets are affected, I don't think we'll even feel the change in the development of this (i777) phone.

Most of our top devs don't even get HSPA+ service... Why would we get a fatty LTE phone with a Crapdragon?

I don't get the fact that if this is going to be the flagship LTE device WHY the hell they would do it on less than GREAT hardware like THE SGS2. Why the screen resolutuion sacrifice, why the lesser of processors....I really don't give a crap....I am not getting that OTHER device......Its just stupid to do this to such a GREAT phone. But then again AT&T has always been stupid.

More to the story from the thread OP pulled the screenshot from. It's all in the last couple of pages of this thread.

First, it's great that your posting info like this that can help people make better decisions and I'm sure people in the selected areas mentioned will appreciate it.
But, this is what your originally posted...
plus, at&t is going to stop selling the OG SGS2 after nov. 6th.
but that's only at actual at&t stores, idk about like best buy, radioshack etc
If it were me, I would have posted that "to really push LTE, AT&T's offering special pricing in some markets and suspending the sale of HSPA+ phones at its corporate stores to highlight the Skyrocket and Vivid." Your post made it sound as if the ASGS2 is dead or dying and made no mention of other phones being effected. I don't know what the start/stop dates of the promo are but the Atrix 2, ASGS2, and other phones listed aren't going to be permenantly removed from those markets. It makes no economic sense especially because AT&T has volume commitments to uphold.
It's not only the ASGS2, it's a bunch other HSPA+ devices being suspended also in the markets mentioned. It seems nuts that AT&T would permenantly stop selling HSPA+ devices, two of which were just released, just to force people in to LTE phones. All the suspended phones can still be orderd online, over the phone, by request in a corporate store, and at a B&M partner store.
I don't even have hspa+ in my area.....so lte? Lol.....ya I'm sticking with this phone...

So this phone only made it for two months or less on the market? Something isn't right here.

Sadly today I got rid of my beloved Note. before my trial period expired I made the decision to cut ties with it. not because it was a bad phone but because of 2 issues. 1) the high price of AT&T phone service and the lack of unlimited data plan. I came from sprint 13 days ago and could not stand looking at my data usage and my first bill scare me. so I returned back to Sprint with my new S3. Love the service on AT&T. I think is the best so far. but not at a cost AT&T want it. so,,, good bye Note!!! :crying::crying:. one more thing,,,,, THANK YOU ALL AT THE NOTE FORUM FOR YOUR SUPPORT AT ROOTING,UNROOTING AND ROM FLASHING YOU ARE THE BEST AT THIS COMMUNITY XDA-DEVELOPERS ROCK!!!!!!
understandable...hate to see you leave but it is pricey. I, too, pay about 45 dollars more a month for att but I couldnt stand sprints service in my area. the trade off for me is worth it for now. plus, i love my note. it IS the main reason I came to att. be cool man. youll be missed...
Me too men. The Note was the reason I switch to AT&T. But I'll be watching for the Note2!!!!

Thank god I have grandfather unlimited plan. Even though they cap the speed, at least I don't have to worry about overage. Sprint Sucks where I live.
I am sure you will be happy with S3.

So far AT&T is the best network. I tryed Cingular,Sprint,AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon. Here the best in order in my opinion are AT&T and Sprint. I tried Verizon but lost Data connection at home!!! So after 2 days I canceled my contact.

I was told in NYC they are turning all the old payphones into wifi hotspots. I was wondering if there is any truth to that or if that already happened? If that is the case you would never need to have a data plan.
Certainly understand. I spent years w/Sprint (not always enjoyable) BUT switched to AT&T when I got the iPhone3g when it came out.
I'd love to try Sprint again...maybe they will get a Note.
HAVE FUN with the S3 (even though it is tiny).

And I get 20% off my minutes with a discount through my employer (Red Lobster).
Not a bad deal.
Straight Talk's $45 Unlimited Plan works well for us and it uses AT&T towers here. I use it on my Note. We use them for hot spots and haven't had any problems there either.

Sounds like OP issues isn't anything with the note as much as ATT which I can understand. I like it for my family as I have been with the big 3 and they each have their hidden features to get your money. Good luck!

I got a call from AT&T this morning. They offering me free iPhone 4s/32GB for free + 7.95 shipping charge to my bill. No other catches. No charge for activation or new line unless I chose to do so after I receive the phone. I was on the phone for 1/2 hour with the rep to make sure that there was no catches to it. Does any body that currently have the Enterprise account get the same call? If this is true ...sound like AT&T is in a hurry to get rid of IPhone. I am currently owned the Note.
Why would you get an iphone when you have the note? Lol

It's scam. Beware! Mod please close this thread
I did not believe it and call ATT lock my account, change my pass code. An hour later ATT called me back and let me know that someone try to apply 4 additional lines, change my address from California to Georgia. They could not get through cause I have change my pass code and lock down. Whew....too good to be true=scam . Was planning to give that iPhone to my Grandma. There is no way I am giving up my note for iphony. Hahaha
Mod ...please close this useless thread. Thank you.
No don't close it keep it open so people can know about the scams that are going on
Lesson learned: never give out personal info unless you are the one calling the company, so you know it's the right number, or you're standing in the store.

You are corrected. The only way to prevent this is tell the person that call you to provide their name and their employee info so you can call back into ATT line and ask them to connect to that person.

Additional information from AT&T fraud department for those who want to know:
1. AT&T never call you on promotion offer.
2. Promotion offers from AT&T only in form of emails and mailing.
Anyone call and offering promotion is SCAM.

Yours won't work with Straight Talk because it runs on CDMA
He is leaving Sprint to use his inherited i777. I have seen others who are very pleased with his phone on ST. Look in the general section.

ST on AT&T is epic. Awesome service, awesome coverage, no issues at all. The one time I called Straight Talk's customer service, I did actually get a helpful, English-speaking person on the line.
I've never tried pushing the data limit but everything has worked very well for me. Coming from Sprint (depending on location of course) you will be a big fan of AT&T. I wouldn't pay even $30 a month for an unlimited plan with Sprint. Good luck.

Seems like he inherited a Sprint S2 based on the Sig
He doesn't have service on the new phone. Hence the question. Some of us have multiple devices.

I am going to be waiting out my contract and purchasing a phone at cost and using straight Talk with it. No more contracts for me. 45 bucks a month for unlimited everything? Can't beat that.
After reading this thread and a few others, talking to our companies AT&T Rep and a few face to face discussions surrounding straight talk I've decided to go with AT&T.
I think it would be great for a light user who checks email and refreshes Facebook etc... But I'm more data hungry and it sounded like that may be an issue with straight talk. Maybe not right away, but eventually.
I'm now on AT&T contract free.

Hey guys, if anybody could provide me with some solid/sure answer to my noobish curiosity, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Okay, I'm currently on a Verizon basic phone (talk & text, no data). Since I like the Note II so much, I might get one off contract, provide if Verizon would give me a miniSIM Card with no data plan on it. I have WIFI at work and at home, so I don't really see the point of paying for $30 Data.
Although I'm due for upgrade in April, I would like save the $30 per month for the next two years.
Anyway, Note II OFF-Contract on Verizon with no data plan? Is that possible? Thanks...

Yup. Welcome to Verizon. I know T-Mobile will let you since they goofed and did it to my on accident. But far as I am still aware at&t, Verizon and sprint all require a data plan on smart phones regardless of how you buy it.

Yes Verizon will require data on a smart phone regardless.
The imei identifies the device on the network.
It is illegal to change it.
Its how they make there money...if it was possible everyone would do it.

You could always just use it as a big media player. Youll get the same functionality as you are expecting to get already sans the phone and texting useage. Ive got a friend that uses an original note for that purpose. Of course his is the korean version so its a no go on the phone side anyway. Of course that would be a very expensive meda player!

Thanks for all the responses from everyone. I guess Verizon Note II is out of the question. Going to go T-Mobile prepaid mid-june.
$30/month for a) 5GB of 4G Data, Unlimited Text, 100 mins. Or b) 1500 whenever minutes or text (no data-- just use WIFI).
