Mine was 30EUR with a cheaper plan then I had on my X10, including a wireless headset.
I would consider it cheap for me
That's a very vague question to ask on an international forum...fill in your provider and country information, and try to be more specific...

Wow, we must all now learn how to be psychic and guess where he is from.
92€ a simfree new xperia s
Here in Holland we get the phone for free with a contract, some people sell it straight away keeping their old phones. I got mine from someone like that for 320 euro, brand new without simlock

In the uk I got mine off mobiles .co.uk T-mobile but unlocked £17.33 with cashback and the phone was free.
I got 1.5gb data unlimited texts and 100 mins.
Would've liked a few more minutes but meh.

Sorry for the ambiguity, I'm in U.S. looking for an unlocked 3g/h+ android for at&t, and I think this is it. Just trying to see if there are deals I'm missing overseas as opposed to just buying it here on ebay for $6-700

The price is around 570 on ebay, and amazon.
You can also get it from expansys-usa for around 580 after coupon.
There are also couples of seller when you search it using google shopping, ranged from 530 to 550.
I would suggest you avoid Ebay at all costs when ordering this phone, because if you were to develop a problem with the device, you won't have a warranty as Sony doesn't recognize third-party sales.
Your best plan would be indeed to order it from an authorized retailer, in the rare case you end up with a screen problem.

I just wanted to find out what do you guys think about it. Since the verizon is the most expensive carrier out here and they sell most expensive phone. Since they have all the cards in their hand. Most reliable 3G and biggest 4G, best phones and good customer service. Do you think it can impact people on how they upgrade or they will switch companies because of this fee?

Who would they switch to? Doesn't AT&T and Sprint have a slightly higher upgrade fee?
Either way, I think it's crap. Like the others I'll probably tweet and email them angrily about it, but I like their service too much to jump ship. Still, with how expensive the phones are already, it's crap.

The monthly fee starts at $40 for 450 minutes + $30 for data (4GB for LTE).
Then you can add text messages or more data.
Blimey! I hope the UK operators don't start charging that much when we get 4g.
I got a free unlocked razr, 300 minutes, unlimited messages and data and it just costs equivalent to $45 per month on a 2 year contact.
No extra charges, connection fees. It seems like you guys really get screwed, I feel sorry for you.

I have two grandfathered Unlimited Data lines on my account that are on two Razr's and I pay around $219.00 USD a month But VZW IMHO is the best out there and every one of my family members from where I grew up are on it. Plus VZW has the best coverage for me where I travel/live. But sheesh it's expensive.

This fee will help us continue to provide customers with the level of service and support they have come to expect which includes Wireless Workshops, online educational tools, and consultations with experts who provide advice and guidance on devices that are more sophisticated than ever.
Oh and they offer a trade in program. Yeah they wanna give you $50 for a phone they still sell retail for $649 or contract of $299.
They dont know their head from their ass most times. I think they have so many call centers so the person that said they were going to help you cant be reached. You know how sometimes they say the call may be recorded, well I sure wish it would be too.

I'm at $40 for 450 voice, $10 for 500 text, $30 for unlimited data. I get 25% discount from combination of business discount and longtime customer, making my bill $68 after tax monthly. Got my Rezound using Amazon Wireless for $150 shortly after it came out because of a special they were running.
Best part - even though I took the 2 year discount to get that price and had to select 4gb data, I'm still showing unlimited data plan. Must've been a glitch in the renewal process but I don't complain.

If you are on contract with T-Mobile or Orange and are sick of the network speeds and they ate doing nothing about it. I heard a little God today that give me some advice.
They will migrate you over to EE for 4g services.
How it works;
1 Visit EE shop
2 Take your i9300 with you
3 They will exchange it for i9305
4 You will enter into a new contract
I'm thinking of doing this but I will be asking the following questions;
1 Why are they actually doing this?
2 Is it a strict swap to i9305
3 Have I not paid for the phone already?
Obviously more questions will arise I will post back once I have been in store.
P.S This can only be done in store.

They could very well do this as a normal upgrade, in that case you will have to pay an early upgrade fee.
If they aren't they will be doing it to get everyone on their rip off LTE tariffs before they are heavily undercut (EE will charge more for 1GB when Three will charge £34 for unlimited data)

As I read it, you basically dont have to pay an early upgrade fee. I could be wrong.....
You will have to enter into a new minimum term on EE;
You can only sign up to a new minimum term on EE which is the same length or longer than your current minimum term on T-Mobile or Orange
You will have to pay any applicable upfront handset cost as part of your new plan on EE; and
can only swap to 4GEE from consumer plans on T-Mobile or Orange if you have the iPhone 4S, Samsung Galaxy SIII, HTC One X or Blackberry 9900. You can swap to eligible 4G phones which can be found on our website. (Please note, as part of the swap to EE, you will be required to pay the upfront handset cost as part of your new plan on EE).
Old unit .
The handset must be in perfect, working condition and be capable of being switched on. We will not accept handsets that do not turn on or are damaged; that have cracked or scratched screens; or that have cracks to the device casing. Our retail staff will decide whether to accept your phone based on its condition and their decision is final

I wouldn't mind 4g but I would wait until it comes to Three, they have announced they will charge no more for a 4g service, all you need is a 4g phone and you can access their 4g on any plans. Whether they will have PAYG sims that work on 4g is a different matter though.

I have been told in the past that technically there is a rule against selling phones off-contract on release day but the manager can override. Once they have enough inventory to not be concerned about selling out to new contracts or upgrades they are permitted to sell off-contract.
I preordered off contract on 4/5 and received it today...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Word of caution for off-contract purchase. If you have premier AT&T service that discounts your plan, every phone you add locks the new line in for 2 years regardless of whether you own the phone or not. It's better to buy on contract because you get the phone discount and same 2 year lock if you are on a discounted plan.
That isn't correct if you are using on an existing line...have done it at least once a year for 6 years, while receiving 18% off through my employer...

I meant if you add a new line. To your point, when you buy on contract, you are actually committing to 2 years of service, not the device. So yes, if you get a new phone and pop in an old SIM, there's not contract extension.
As a general rule, ask the AT&T sales rep if there are any stipulations or contract changes when you add a new line.
I did. Today. My rep said when the devices are in short supply they limit them to new activations only.

No issues here. I've honestly never had an AT&T store decline to sell me a device at full retail. Within the last year on launch day I have bought the HOX, S3, Note 2, Lumia 920, BB Z10, and now the One full retail from my local ATT corporate store. Haven't encountered even the slightest resistance to selling off contract. Perhaps it varies by region?

Hi Guys,
Canadian here looking to purchase the T-Mobile version outright as it supports AWS HSPA (something which has not been hacked / enabled on the other variants yet).
Anywhere in the US to purchase from that won't gouge too much on pricing. T-Mo sells for $580 outright but not sure if any locations will simply sell outright for this price.
Thanks
Stores will sell it outright for $610 plus tax
I wasn't able to get one from the store, so I bought one on eBay. It was a premium, but I had to do it if I wanted an HTC One because the 30 day return policy on my iPhone 5 was running out.

Not so bad if you do the unlimited data bait & switch. Not all of us have the convenience of reliable coverage from multiple carriers in our areas regardless of what coverage maps show.

Some of us don't care as we are already WITH these carriers. If we are going to use them anyway, why not take advantage of a free phone?? (I am with ATT not verizon but same ol' same ol')
I am sick of peoples insistance that contract free is so great. If you live outside the USA, MAYBE, inside the USA that is not even close to true unless you A.) enjoy crap service B.) barely move C.) Never use your phone.
I would take AT&T or Verizon over any prepaid crap service and featureless "plan" any day of the week, hands down. I have tried many difference prepaid services and they are all the same, terrible spotty service, slow speeds, and hack call quality. Again this does not apply outside the USA, but here, prepaid is AWFUL.
I have no interest in swapping carriers, therefor I chose to use my upgrades and get free/discounted phones since I am going to continue to use AT&T anyway. My plan price does not go down if I do not, there is no advantage to me for not upgrading other than allowing to me to switch carriers.

Best Buy has it free for upgrade.
That's a really good deal. And what he said I have no intentions of leaving Verizon so it I'm going to pay the same anyway might as well upgrade. I lost my unlimited and now I'm on the 6 gig plan. I average like 2 gigs a month so it was no big deal for me. My daughter average 30 gigs a month so she pretty much has to stay unlimited lol

Some of us don't care about being locked into a contract. Where I live Verizon's coverage is so much better than everyone else's that I'll gladly pay more for it. Also, Verizon is offering former unlimited customers 6 GB of data for the 2 GB price with no additional strings attached. So the little to no data usage part doesn't apply either.
Did the exact same thing. BF $49 and cyber monday free. I took my receipt to best buy and they credited back my card. It was simple and fast.
Ordered mine for $0. Added as a new line. I already have a S3 on unlimited. Planning to break the contract immediately after activation and pay $350 ETF. Pay 1 day prorated monthly charge. Profit :laugh::good:. Sell my S3 for $180-$200 on ebay. U cant get such a good phone for $350 and still retain unlimited.
Have chat transcripts with VZW reps..who said doing such a thing will only result in a $350 ETF!!

Ordered mine for $0. Added as a new line. I already have a S3 on unlimited. Planning to break the contract immediately after activation and pay $350 ETF. Pay 1 day prorated monthly charge. Profit :laugh::good:. Sell my S3 for $180-$200 on ebay. U cant get such a good phone for $350 and still retain unlimited.

You can get the deal if you use the loophole. I just did it twice, once for my line and just this week for my wife's line.
We both had upgrades due on our unlimited lines. We have 5 lines total on a national family plan, 2 are feature phones & 3 are smartphones. I transferred our upgrades to the feature phone lines, got the g2's at the promo price, and activated the new phones on the former feature phone lines. Immediately reactivated the feature phones on their respective lines by dialing *228 which deactivated the new phones and automatically cancelled the mandatory data plans required by the upgraded devices. Now that both new phones are free from their original lines, I popped in our SIM cards which reactivated the new phones on our unlimited lines.
So, new phones for promo pricing and unlimited data retained=win/win.
