Just got my GS II for Free in Walmart - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I'm coming from an HTC Inspire 4G and the difference with the screen quality and battery life is amazing, I'm so happy with this phone.
I went to my local walmart and saw the phone for $99.98 and saw the ad for a Free $100 walmart gift card when buying smartphones so I got it right away.
BTW if anyone is interested in this deal, it seems that Tomorrow 12/3 is the last day that it will be available.

It's a ridiculous phone for $99, free just doesn't seem right.

Wow, I got ripped when I paid $1.04.

Sounds to me like you got ripped off $100 gift card at Walmart so you can buy more sh*t @ walmart

You can use the gift cards for gas, groceries you'd be buying anyway, maybe a case for the phone if they stock them.
It's a good deal, it's money you'd otherwise be taking out of your bank account. Unless you never purchase anything from Walmart that is.
I'll hopefully get in on this today.

I assume YMMV, so I shall pass by the Walmart tonight.
Was hoping to get this phone as a gift for somebody and with a $100 gift card I can buy some other things I was going to get at Walmart anyways.

Well walmart is pretty close to me and I usually put gas there so with the gift card I get a 10 cent discount per gallon = $2.89 for me.

$2.99! It's still $3.05 here.
I paid $0.01 for my SGS2 - how much did you pay in taxes?

<--- Feels stupid for paying $199.
I already had a contract not sure if that's why your all getting it for that price.
Also for the $99 SGS2 at Walmart is it with a new contract or can you renew your current contract for that price and giftcard?
Going to get this for a friend so trying to find my best route.

If you're eligible for an upgrade, you can renew and still get the deal.

Ask at any AT&T kiosk or store. I'll see what I can dig up for you this weekend.
Is it true that you can get this phone without contract for $500 but you have to be an AT&T and if you are not, the phone cost $599 without contract....Im getting my friend from US to buy this phone for me.

Best/Cheapest place to buy EVO LTE?

Anyone know who has the LTE for the best price these days? I think I convinced the wife to get one and get rid of her OG Evo. She is very frugal but after seeing how good the camera is on my LTE and considering we just had a baby she may spend the money.
I have an upgrade on my line so it would have to be a the best price using a 2 year agreement with upgrade transferable to her line.
Thanks!
I got mine at walmart for 158$
Amazon is your best bet. Seen it around $79.

Hmmm. Interesting. Good suggestion. The walmart by my house doesn't sell Sprint but the next closest one does. I will have to go swing by there this week and see what they are selling for here.
Thanks and Who Dat!
Sams Club
Sam's Club has the phone for ~$148, Amazon has it for ~$149, and Radio Shack has it for ~$149. She might like the GS III just as much - if not more. It was cheaper at Sam's when I was there a few days ago, but the site has it listed as $148 as well.
Let us know if you find it cheaper elsewhere. I'm due to upgrade in a couple months and am always looking for the best deal.

Wow. That would be ideal. I just checked Amazon and it looks like they are up to $150 with a 2 year agreement. Although they are 1 cent for a new line of service. Damn.
But $150 is the best price I have found so far.
I would avoid Wirefly, I got mine at Best Buy, I think it was price matched to $129 but that was early June. Plus their warranty service is fantastic, literally walk in and receive a replacement with no questions for $10 a month. They also gave $50 for signing up to their black tie warranty, and $50 best buy GC. Note that these were promotions at the time but probably still good.

Ah yes. Sam's club. Would cost me +$30 or whatever it is to renew my membership if I wanted to get it there. LOL.
But it looks like $150 is about the best price going. I thought about getting her the SGS3 but will stick with the EVO since it is what I know and she asks a lot of questions about the phone so I can answer better about the EVO off the top of my head.

Yeah, Best Buy does have a pretty good warranty. Their website says it's 199, but if they will match Sam's Club, Walmart, or Radio Shack on price than it would a pretty good choice.

I really lucked out and got it for $50 the day it came out on May 24th at Best Buy. Signed up for the phone freedom $50 gift card back in Feb and got $50 off instantly . Then they had a $50 gift card promotion going on for the phone and got that instantly as well. So walked out only paying $99 but an hour late I got an email from Best Buy thanking me for buying a phone and to click the link to download my $50 gift card. Ended up printing that up and buying a Otterbox Defender case with it....but returned it a couple weeks later for the Commuter case. Still amazed at the deal i got considering i was upgrading as well.

Is $599 the cheapest full retail price?

Did a Google search and couldn't find anything cheaper. Does anyone know of any good deals?
Thanks!

No, it was $599 at launch on Verizon and still is.
another cheaper way to get this is(verizon retail price), price match this to bestbuy for 599 and then use chase freedom credit card to get another 5% cash back(at bestbuy).
Or use amex credit card(by syncing them to twitter) u get 20$ back for 200$ spent at bestbuy..
and then use the chase freedom to pay the remaing 400$ and get back 5%(20$) at bestbuy .

Nope. $599. I preordered at full retail. ~$630 with Tax.

Guys, I am prepping mine to sell, and would rather have it go to an XDA'er than some person on CL. PM me if interested this evening, otherwise it's going up on the Want to Sell tomorrow. In perfect shape, it's had a screen protector and case on it since I left the store.

Damn! Special friend pricing? I've been wanting the DNA, but I sure would like to pay a little less than $600.
wow $450 is very nice deal.
my bro was up for an upgrade end of this month, and my father in February 2013, (I bought Inc4 day it came out as my 2 year). My father gave me his upgrade for my bday(in Feb.) present.
So, I took my brothers upgrade and early upgraded to get the DNA (will be here Monday) and my brother can use my father's in Feb.
Paid $246 with tax and all the other crap.
$450 though is a heck of a deal.
Can't wait to get this phone, can't go wrong with having a DINC4G LTE for back-up either , should be ok til 3/2014 lol
Should be getting the nex7 sometime after xmas, gotta have some AOSP lovin in your life right?

HTC DNA Amazon?

Why is the DNA so much cheaper on Amazon than Verizon itself? Is safe to buy from there? I mean it isn't refurbished model right?
Amazon DNA: $50
Verizon DNA: $200
Thank you for the help. It'd be cool to save $150 haha
If it was refurbished it would say. I work at Walmart in the wireless center and its 148 not that big of a leap but mabe amazon is doing a promotion or something

not that i know of let me check it out i dont think you will have a problem i buy other stuff on amazon that there has never been a problem other then once when i got the correct packaging and wrong case for the epic touch a year ago but they were great with allowing me to return it and get the correct case. i dont see a problem with it seems as if they are just doing a sale or something of it
edit: i do see that the 50$ is for new verizon customers and it goes up to 100 with upgrading. so idk if you are already on verizon or not
I got mine from best buy on a new line, I had them price match it for me. However, I did have to go to a few stores to make sure they had it in stock as well as make sure the manager approves the price match, some of them didn't.

yea i noticed the $50 version isn't there any more...it must have been a holiday/new year special. however, its cool. Thank you for the help. I'll probably end up buying from Amazon cause it'll be cheaper...I've bought other stuff from there and been okay with it, but the whole shbang with it being cheaper on Amazon compared to Verizon was like..whats the catch?
I just got two DNAs from best buy last Tuesday. They priced matched the $50 price that Amazon had. I ended up getting them both for free because I signed up for the $50 gift card offer that best buy was offering the week before. They gave me 2 $50 gift cards for signing a new wireless contract.
I switched from T-Mobile. I had the HTC Amaze. So far I don't regret the change. But the only thing that I'll miss from my Amaze is the 32gb ext sd card. It's going to take a bit to adjust the limited space that's on the DNA. Other than that, I'm really enjoying the DNA with the Venom Rom.

There is no cons from buying there I have bought phones from amazon in the past and they were brand new and worked great.
The reason some don't buy from them or Best Buy, etc... is if you cancel within 6 months or something, you pay their $350 early term fees in addition to Verizon.
