My contract doesn't expire until December, but I went through with the preorder anyways. Was I supposed to be able to get the $299 subsidized 2-year commitment price? It ended up working, but I'm afraid I'll be intercepted by AT&T.
I ordered the same way, same price. All the other phones were showing full price and the GNore 299.00. So I didn't even waste a second and ordered it. I remember it was the same way when Atrix was on preorder it was showing 199.00 and all the other phones were full price.

They might be running some kind of promotion? I checked this out with one of my lines that isn't available for an upgrade till Nov. All the phones are at full retail price except the Note. When I clicked on the Nitro HD it said "Retail Price: $549.99" When I checked the Note it said "2-Year Term Renewal Price: $299.99"
i saw this and went ahead and checked and there it was. Odd, my renewal isn't until next year but I tried for it anyways. The worst that can happen is that it gets canceled right? Though at the moment I'm in Asia, hopefully if they cancel, they'll do it before I go home so I can just pick up an international one instead.
Everytime I try to click on upgrade button to see if I can do this the stupid myatt site says "Handoff failure, An Error Has Occurred

does not seem to work for me? It shows me no commitment price of 649.99 ..am I doing something wrong? steps pls
well I pre ordered on Sunday. At that time, people in other threads claimed that ATT didn't have a set off-contract price. I guess they just let me pre order anyways? Perhaps they recently input the off contract price and you can't pre order with 2 year contract anymore. I hope they don't cancel my order - my credit card already has a hold for the 299+ taxes price

Ah never mind. I tried pre ordering again and it still shows 299.
1) first login to your wireless account at att.com
2) next click upgrade phone directly under account overview
3) checkbox your phone number that you want to put the galaxy note on
4)click upgrade selected lines near the bottom.
5) the galaxy note should be near the bottom. Click learn more.
and finally, click pre order. It should say 299 total due at time of shipping

thanks..somehow my account does not show that. I will be only eligible for upgrade on Jan 2013 and also have corporate discount on account..may be thats the difference.
I got 2 of these for 200 a piece using my "chipzilla" corporate discount... i dont think the corporate account is your problem.
ordered 2. Hope them go through

thats gr8 price..when you check the upgrade eligibility what does it show up for you?
This is what it shows to me
"You can take advantage of our no commitment pricing. Additional discounts may be available on 01/31/2013" and when I browse the devices it shows me 649.99 for note i.e. no commitment price..
shows me the same thing... i think it is because i am switching to att...
I am another one that got the $299 price even though my iPhone 4s is in the middle of its term. I am not asking any questions!

Weird... mine does the following:
1) Login to my wireless account at att.com
2) Click the "upgrade phone" directly under account overview
3) It shows me both lines seperately (no checkboxes) and to the right of each number you can click on "upgrade eligibility". It also says under each of my phone #'s "As a valued AT&T customer, you may qualify for an upgrade on this line, with no-commitment equipment pricing and without signing a two-year commitment. Select Upgrade Eligibility to view upgrade options."
4) I click on "upgrade eligibility" and it takes me to a screen that says "You are not eligible at this time for an upgrade at a discounted price. However, you can take advantage of our no commitment pricing. Additional discounts may be available on 5/13/2013."
5) On the bottom of the screen there is an option to "shop the premier store" and when you click on that you are taken to a page that shows phones available for no contract pricing (Note being $649)
Weird, I'm also eligible for the $299 pre-order... the option to buy off-contract doesn't even come up for me! However, I'm on the grandfathered unlimited plan, and there is no option to keep that plan... is it possible?

Just click on either "new customer" or "add a line" then search for the Galaxy S II, add your voice/data plan and checkout and you will see a 50% off promo applied ($99 off) + the activation fee is waived + free overnight shipping.
This deal doesn't work for upgrades so this seems like just for new customers and those that want to add a new line to their family plan. For upgrades you would want to go through Amazon Wireless for the best price $150 tax free.
Hope this helps someone

Your welcome. Happy to help
Thats the thing I'm not really sure how long it lasts
The article that I found this from is http://www.logicbuy.com/deals/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-smartphone/34417.aspx which says that the free activation ($35 value) ends on 10/3 but doesn't say anything about when the 50% off coupon ends...
AT&T usually has those 50% off coupons available most of the time. If this one gets disable you can just chat with a sales representative and they will give you a link to the newest coupon(s). Also, I doubt the iPhone 5 will do anything to the coupon(s) since these don't work with iPhones and some other few phones.
this is a great deal..thanks!!!!
Thank you for the info! Just added a line for my dad and now I have a GSII shipping to me by Tuesday

I just tried the above link again, and it still has 50% off for me.. maybe clear your browse cache, and make sure you pick all the plans, and add to cart. The discounted price should show up when you check out.
says 199.99 for me also...
I see you need both a voice and data plan when buying the Galaxy s ii. My question is: will the senior Nation 200 plan (for 65+ customers - not sure of the name of the plan) qualify as the voice plan or does to have to be a $39 and up plan? Thank you

so the link will let you order, but will cancel it later? hmm.. I haven't go through with it yet, since I'm waiting for my Sprint contract to clear up.. I was hoping they would fix it before the day end, so I can use the above link to order.. but, if there's a problem, then maybe we need to find another way to order it.

They hate me 'cause I'm a Premier business account. This time, I registered for a brand new line and hopefully it will come around. Then I can just combine the lines with my current FamilyTalk and it should be okay.
ahh, gotcha. I went ahead and placed the order with the above link. There are no more free activation and no more over night shipping (2-day shipping instead), but I still got the 50% off for the phone.. overall, pretty good deal!
Btw, this deal still exist until 10/7, but you have to pay activation, and it's 2-day shipping now.
Still works as it's available until 10/7. You have to place the order rather quickly to keep the discount active. If you leave it for a few minutes - it will become invalid and you will have to start the order all over again. Fortunately when I did it again it was already in the shopping cart as I clicked on the link by the OP.
I saved a hundred bucks by going this route than going in the store. Sure, it's nice to get a number of your own choosing and having the phone right away when you buy it in the store, but saving a Benjamin is a no-brainer, period.
was going to add another line with this, but I don't get the $99 price at checkout.

PSA: Just got off the phone with ATT, my curiosity was piqued by the thread stating the website was allowing contract upgrade pricing for non-eligible lines. My line is not eligible for upgrade until 1/2013, and the Business Premier website shows off-contract/no-commitment pricing of $649.99. BUT, on the phone they said I could upgrade for $399.99 + $18 activation.
Personal Side Note: I currently have a white skyrocket, and my primary complaint is the "mura" effect and the weak DPI (LCD density mods only mask the issue). I have big hands that make the skyrocket look regular sized, I already have a SGP case picked out... but other than the screen, it is the same phone and still no Skyrocket HD or SG3 release date. Tempted to buy it just to try them out side by side, then sell the skyrocket or return the Note - no skin off my back. Thoughts?
Sounds like a good plan. I am holding out though. (Technically I did compare them side by side tho) I have faith in my Samsung guy telling me the s3 will be out in midsummer ...which lines up with out next available upgrade.

Business care reps offer special pricing at times.
In a store as long as you have had your current phone at least 6 months and haven't had any upgrades overridden in the last year then you are eligible for in store early upgrade pricing which is discounted cost of phone + $250 so it would be $550 in store early upgrade vs $650. You still save $100.
Website shows $649.99 for me as well. I called 611 and spoke with a CSR and told them I was interested in the pre-ordering the Note. I was then offered the $399.99 early upgrade price (still requires new 2 year commitment). YMMV of course, but when I asked if I could call back and get the same deal - he said yes. Again my actual upgrade eligibility is 1/2013.

Here is exactly what I did: I dialed 611 --> entered phone # --> selected #3 for sales and upgrades --> was connected to AT&T Business Solutions Customer Care (1-800-331-0500) --> told them that I was reading about special pricing for the Note's release and that I was interested in upgrading my line -->> CSR said he could offer me $399.99 + $18 + 2yr commitment --> I asked him if I could call him back and get the same deal --> CSR said, "it's available in the system so whoever you call back will have access to the pricing."
I'd try calling the 1800 directly, or try 611 again. Some CSRs are more knowledgeable then others on what is available

I have a corporate discount account, which seems like a type of employee discount program - but it is not called EMO. I called them up this morning and that is what I was told by a CSR. When there is a deal out there I am usually able to talk to ATT and get something worked out - they've been very helpful. If a second CSR won't give the offer, then it could be something more than premier account that gave me the early upgrade price.
Yea unforuntaly they wont help they said its a new process where they cant help they just send me to premier, and premier just looks at the account and does what it says.

Called again today to look into this further and this time to CSR told me again that they are able to offer $399.99 over the phone - then pushed me over to the Premier phone system. Unfortunately they are closed atm, I'll try again tomorrow and see what they say. From what I understand, a Premier CSR will walk you through the process to get the pricing on the website... but again, that is just my speculation until I actually get one of them on the phone.
I got lucky, att made the mistake if turning my service off when it was paid three months in advance , woooo free upgrade

As an update, after a bit a run around between Business Care and Premier, I got a price adjust and got it for $300 w/2 yr contract - but I could not upgrade a line which had been upgraded in November 2011, which they stated would immediately get flagged. My other line was upgraded in June 2011, and it looks like it will ship today.
Also, what is this 50% off accessories for Premier accounts I keep reading about? On Sunday? I can't find any documentation.
Hey guys, just saw this ad, att is selling all phone, including the note today for 50% off.

Try the link out, and add the phone, plan and data plan to your cart. Once completed, go to checkout to see the 50% discount for $150!
I just called them up, and they WILL honor the $150 price!! Apparently after 5 days a 50% price drop is not bad!
You have to call and ask for it. I called 611, got transfered around a bit and finally got it approved!

and your base rate on ATT HAS to be at least $40 (fine print), I tried it on an add-a-line at $9.99 and it wouldn't let me
is this only for a new account?

I already have a line. I called AT&T to see if they would refund the differnece between the $300 I paid and this offer but they will not.
Am I missing something?
well this sucks, because there was a 50% off link posted in the other thread, but wouldnt work with the note,contacted the online help and said it was 50% off for any phone except iphones and the note

Read the bottom too
Does NOT work for upgrade.
Just to verify. I called and tried as hard as possible and spoke with the manager but they will not honor this price if you got the phone as an upgrade. This ONLY applies to new customers or new lines.
I highly suggest the OP or a MOD updates the title to reflect this info, so that it is not misleading to anyone.
Does one need premiere account or reg account for this?
So I take it that you would have had to order online as well. I went into a corporate store 20 days ago picked the skyrocket and then when note was released paid the difference. It would be awesome to actually get 50 dollars back from skyrocket purchase LOL. I am a new customer as well.

Just Pre-ordered EVO LTE from Wirefly (Upgrade Price) for $139
Was $119, sorry ladies & gents, deal was limited time only.
I started a thread in the OG EVO forum before this forum existed, thought I would pass this along to the XDA community.
I have used Wirefly before, I was very happy with them, so they will continue to get my business.

Just a friendly warning, the sale seems to be linked to specific zip codes. The link in the OP is setup for Garfield NJ, 07026 and the one I actually used was for Spring TX. If I updated the zip to my real zip code, the sale price is $149. Their system will also AUTOMATICALLY make your City, State, zip that of which the link takes you to.
Now I placed my order, realized the address issue and will contacted them tomorrow to modify my address. Not sure if that will effect the price I pay BUT one thing is for sure, its not going to cost me $217 either way.
I'll update here after I get the address corrected and confirm my price after. I figure I'll give it a day in their system to get to stick and then update the address.
I ordered yesterday for $149.99

It should be noted that there is a $37 activation fee from Sprint.
I changed the zipcode to mine (here in chicago) and it kept the $119.99 price. And yes, there is a $36 activation fee, but this is still cheaper than $150 if you figure in the $10 google wallet credit...
$119.99
$36
-$10

$145.99
Not bad at all. Not the $10 I paid for my evo a few days before christmas (price match + rebate), but flipping that, I should net under $50 or less for the whole thing.
EVO for $99.99 if you have Bank of America
Log into your bofa account and click on the add it up link. click on cell phone deals and bofa will credit your account $50 if you buy using their link. I tried getting the $119.99-$50 add it up, but it won't work.
One or the other.
By the way, to get the $119.99 deal, do a google search for "wirefly friends and family" and click on the first non-ad link.
So to summarize, $119.99 if you don't have bofa
or
$99.99 if you have bofa using the add it up link.

I wouldn't see why they would, if you are worried activate it on the line you used to upgrade, then switch the phone over to the line you want it on.

How will they know? You don't activate through them. You buy from them, tell them it's for the upgradable line, then when you get it, you activate through Sprint and have them so the switch. Wirefly is out of the picture once you have the device.

Why is there an activation charge?
How is this any different than buying a phone off of Craigslist and getting it activated?
Edit:
Does Sprint charge $37 activation even if you get it from them anyway?
(If so, then this isn't an issue. Gotta pay it either way, right?)

Because you need to "activate" it on the carrier and it's no different, you would be paying the same charge no matter where you get the phone. Now, the activation fee did double but that puts Sprint in line with the other carrier's activation/upgrade fees and adds more cash to the "fix the network" pot.
*Activation is $36

I had this same intention. I called Wirefly and they do NOT let you use another line's upgrade for your own (idk why thats what he said). You would have to swap the upgradeable line with yours like others have said. Part of the reason is because their policy is to activate it themselves (I asked them if they could hold off on the activation, the guy said no) so its running by the time it gets in your hands

Just a friendly warning, the sale seems to be linked to specific zip codes. The link in the OP is setup for Garfield NJ, 07026 and the one I actually used was for Spring TX. If I updated the zip to my real zip code, the sale price is $149. Their system will also AUTOMATICALLY make your City, State, zip that of which the link takes you to.
Now I placed my order, realized the address issue and will contacted them tomorrow to modify my address. Not sure if that will effect the price I pay BUT one thing is for sure, its not going to cost me $217 either way.
I'll update here after I get the address corrected and confirm my price after. I figure I'll give it a day in their system to get to stick and then update the address.

Just wanted to check back in and confirm that I did call and update the address for shipping and everything is right on track, price is set at $119.
Now just hoping we do get ours before the 18th but if not, so what, this was a great deal.

This doesn't entirely make sense. If you're upgrading, that would mean your existing device stops functioning when they activate the new one. This is obviously not acceptable. I'm quite confident you actually have to call in and activate it once you receive the device. THEN your old device stops functioning. Now if you're buying a new line of service then it may arrive activated (though past purchases from amazon for tmobile did require activation AFTER receipt of device).
ymmv.
Wirefly has a ad on its front Page saying free activation wheb adding a line or doing a new activation.
Food for thought to make it a even better deal...

I looked at every blog and cant find a straight answer. So if I am due for a phone upgrade...With Sprint one up plan i can get the note 3 for 0 down "no money upfront" and makes payments each bill cycle? At the end of owning the phone 1 yr i can do get another phone again with 0 down?
I'm in a similar situation, I want to swap the note 3 after a year or 6 months to get triband lte (I'm in a wimax area).
Currently on a family unlimited plan but wondering if I can do the jump program for a year.

I am doing the One Up on Friday to go from Note 2 to the Note 3. You have to pay sales tax on the full retail price of the phone up front then you start your monthly payments. After 12 months you can use the One Up again on that line to get another new phone. This way actually saves me money. If the price is $699.99 then I will be paying about $58 on tax and then right at $30 per month. So one year of payments would be $350 then I could start all over again with the Note 4. Since I usually buy a phone at full price when I am in the middle of a 24 month contract, the One Up program is going to end up being cheaper for me.

I called my local store about this. The thing that I think people miss about it is that you cannot upgrade to the next phone (in your case Note 4) until you have completely paid off your Note 3. So a year in you still have to pay another $439, assuming they put retail at $799. Also I am pretty sure that at that time you surrender your old device to them meaning the argument about picking up the difference via a private party sale is out the window too. Then you'll have to put a down payment to get your Note 4 on top of that since the no down payment option is only a limited time deal! For that reason I'm not jumping into the One UP at this time...
I was told by my local store that it works the way I described. That is the whole point of the One Up program. To allow customers to upgradeevery year. One of the social care people on sprints forums even states " you will be eligible for a new phone after we recieve 12 payments for the phone"
I would go in the store and ask or call a different store.

Yes you are eligible that is true but you are still due 24 months payments, meaning if you have remaining balance on your phone you have to pay that! If I'm wrong someone show me some official documentation because I can't find it.

That doesn't make sense from what they told you. How is it a one up program if i don't get a device each yr. The limited time yes is for 0 down but you have to be able to get a new device in a yr to call it One Up. Otherwise I would just pay $350 for device up front and get another device in 2 yrs vs paying full price. From what i heard you don't own the device and you are turning it back in, hence the reason you are not paying full price and allowed to upgrade in a yr.
Sprint is really going down hill with the softbank merger. Confusing everyone even their employees.
We have had one statement from Sprint only saying it will be release Oct 4th. No promotion or anything. The one up hasn't been fully vetted and its live and active. This is crazy!
Exactly it's like they are trying to copy the auto industry and develop a phone "lease" program. I love the thought of early upgrades (R.I.P. Gold member program) however I was told that you have to pay the remaining payments before you can upgrade to your next phone. Would love for this to be wrong but need someone to find some actual proof from the sprint either way.

That would be the same as current plans...If i wanted to upgrade to a new phone from Note 2 in less then a yr i just pay the early termination. After a yr on contract the termination would be less then $200. So if i paid $300 to get the device and $200 to cancel contract that's only $500. Still $200- $300 shy of original price. As this wouldn't make any sense i am sure One Up has to be cheaper in the fact of getting a new device each yr.

I just now called customer care and asked them. I explained to the rep (Kelly) what I was planning and asked about the remaining 12 months of payment if I One Uped again in 12 months. Kelly put me on hold while she looked into it and she came back and said that after 12 months of payment I could do the one up again. I asked again to clarify that they remaining 12 months of payments went away and she said yes as long as you turn in the phone.

Yea that's what i figured. That's the only way this plan could work lol. Im still upset that sprint has not made a bigger effort to explain this. Its like they don't want anyone to know they are doing 0 down. Maybe after 0 down ends they will start advertising.

Don't forget the $15 per month discount that you get off your bill for as long as your in the one up program. With that your essentially only paying 15 per month for the phone.
Say if you were to upgrade to the Note 4 at year one, do you own the Note 4 at year 2 after completing 24 payments?
If that is true, One up makes a lot of sense because you could then sell the Note 4 that you upgraded to for more cash at year 2 than a Note 3 you would have had to kept for two years with the standard subsidized route.
Yea, my upgrade isn't until January, they want me to give them my "one" to switch to one up and get the note 3. Eff that. I'll probably just switch to AT&T. They tried to switch me to customer retention but I was on hold a good 15 minutes and I had to go to work . I don't mind giving up the note 3 in 12 months while on the new plan, but I'm not giving them a phone I just paid full price for.

There is alot of confusion on the one up program but you pay 12 months on a phone and then if u want to upgrade again you have to hand tje phone over and start paying on another. That's hiw tje other 12 payments are gone. It's a cool idea that I'm gonna take advantage of. Plus the 15 off the monthly bill is awesome. So it would only be about 15 extra to get the note 3.

I'm in a similar situation. I pre-ordered the Evo LTE, so I can't do a standard upgrade until 1-1-14. Shortly after receiving my pre-ordered black Evo LTE, Sprint announced the white Evo LTE and I bought it at retail. Around May of this year I bought a Note 2 at retail. Even though I'm still in contract, the active device on my line is not what I bought at contract price. After talking with 3 reps at 611 and 2 reps at 2 different local stores, I was getting mixed responses about whether or not I'd have to trade in a phone to start the One Up program. I finally called 611 again and asked a rep then had her verify it with her manager. She told me that I do NOT have to trade in any phone to start the One Up program since my active device wasn't purchased at contract price and because it had been over a year. I had her put notes on my account saying that I do NOT have to trade in a phone to get the Note 3 Friday morning and begin the One Up program! I still have my black Evo LTE and white Evo LTE, so I'm going to take my black LTE with me just to be safe in case they do require me to trade it in. I could sell it on ebay for $150-200, but to me it would be worth paying that to upgrade early during the Note 3 release. Hopefully they'll expect nothing from me except taxes on the Note 3, and I'll be good to go. I can let ya know for sure in just under 8 hours when my local Sprint store opens up. I will be there at 10am when they open to get me a white Note 3!!! Hoping that all goes smoothly!!

I'm either gonna convince them to let me start the program without trading in my "One" or I'm gonna go give At&t a try for a while. I've been on the fence about leaving anyway, I'm ready for 4g. Sprint is not only making me pay 50$ than anyone for the Note, and now they want my phone that I didn't even get from them? Heck no

It can be almost any phone. Upgraded to the s3 when it came out for my original upgrade. Switched to note 2 midway through contract. Upgrade I was scheduled for was feb 2014. Activated my old evo and turned that in for the note 3 this morning.

Be prepared to wait if you're getting the Note 3 on the One Up program! I was the only customer in the store and had to wait 1.5 hours for them to finally get it to go through for me! They even called Sprint and confirmed that everyone is having problems with it this morning. They told me that no over else has got it to work yet, but I was willing to wait all day, lol. Just be patient though, they eventually got it for me!!
