Hey Guys. I am planning on buying the Galaxy S3 I9300 international version instead of AT&T's version, but I was wondering what would be the best place to get the phone from? Also, what insurance does the international S3 have in the US? I've heard that since it's an international phone, it will not have a manufacturer's warranty in the US. Also, apparently you can't buy insurance through 3rd party companies because your phone is international. Any ideas? I guess the only place is through eBay and buy squaretrade's insurance but it does not cover accidental damage..... I'm perplexed
Worth Ave Group or Ensquared cover international phones. I'm using Worth Ave Group and they both cover pretty much all. You are correct on warranty. You can't get service from USA, usually you have to send it in Europe or have company you purchased the phone from do the warranty claim for you.
I think expansys-usa is popular site to buy. I would never buy from ebay since seller can't help you if anything goes wrong. Also I think I have heard squaretrade doesnt cover international phone but I'm not 100%

I believe Ensquared does not cover international phones:
EXCLUSIONS:
AB: Covered Products not readily available in the United States through Communication Service Providers (overseas unlocked phones).
Why don't you buy it from Negri electronics and buy the warranty for 2 years ( 95$ as I remember) it will cover everything, I pre-ordered the AT&T version with the warranty that covers everything even theft after contacting their online support and they said they cover Canada too.
I sent them an email and I am waiting for the reply to confirm that they cover Canada since there is no point of spending 95$ for a warranty that doesn't work in Canada, call their support and see if they cover it before buying tho
This place will give you a warranty on your international version.

Try Negri Electronics, they have great services although their prices are a bit steep. http://negrielectronics.com/
Negri's prices are quite steep, yes.... I am not sure if I will be able to afford it for that much...
I use Safeware. They have covered my phones for several years now, and never any hassles. Plus there is no deductible.
Expansys was the best on the preorders. Negri screwed everyone over. Look in the general preorder threads. My experience with Expansys was perfect.
Expansys are the worst to deal with, I had a Note that died, not only did they decline helping me with warranty, but they refused to give me the postal address of the Samsung they got it from so I could return it myself. I have a $800 paper weight because of them...

I'm in the US, and I've never bought anything from overseas, so I'm a little unsure as to who I should go through(not sure who's very reputable internationally) to purchase the international version? And , just to me certain, the GT-I9300 will work with ANY GSM carrier(AT&T/T-Mobile, any of their MVNO's(Straighttalk, boost))?
EDIT: This goes in Q&A, reposted there. Delete this please.
Here's a list:
Expansys USA.
Negri electronics
Networkingrus
Or just amazon.com
If purchased from all of those and they ate all reliable and have very fast shipping. If you want you can also try eBay

and to add the international will only get edge speeds on TMO currently. It will get HSPA+ speeds once TMO converts to the 1900 band but that could be some time. I think there are only 5 markets converted so far.
It will give you HSPA+ on the other carriers though.

It depends on how you feel about the warranty. No Exynos SGS3 is permitted by Samsung to be sold by anyone in the U.S. and it’s considered grey market and therefore has no warranty. Their strict and ask for a receipt from an authorized reseller and/or a credit card charge statement before doing any warranty work. There are no authorized resellers in the U.S. because Samsung doesn't sell unlocked devices here. Samsung U.S. will also not repair a phone purchased outside its country of intended sale so you'll have to ship it back at your expense to whatever country it came from for both warranty work and repairs you might pay for.
My former i9100 came from the UK and before I sold it I sent it to the UK to have its bezel replaced under warranty because it cracked. I enclosed my receipt from an authorized UK reseller and when they saw it was paid on a credit card they also asked for a copy of the statement. NewEgg, Amazon, Amazon Marketplace, and eBay sellers sometimes say the phone will come with a warranty. It doesn't and Samsung makes no exceptions.
Both Negri and Expansys-USA offer their customers support during the warranty period. If the phone needs service you ship it to them and they send it overseas to one of their affiliates who has it repaired at a Samsung service center. It still has no warranty; their skirting it somehow through their affiliates. But as long as your phone's repaired at no cost how the sausage is made is irrelevant.
SquareTrade also covers grey market phones. I strongly suggest people get a policy as a back stop to any warranty issues (denied claims) and to cover accidental damage. If the display alone on eBay is $250 you're probably looking at a $350 repair with labor if the screen replacement's done by Samsung should it break.
I always buy my imported devices from the UK. You know you're working with an authorized reseller, there are no warranty questions, and you'll also know the device you're receiving is a UK device. Both Negri and Expansys-USA frequently ship phones intended for sale in the Malaysia, the Philippines, Poland, South Africa, and Latin America. No big dealing if you're going to root and flash other ROMs; a big deal if you're not. They also ship carrier-branded phones that have been SIM unlocked.
To get a phone overnighted from Clove in the UK right now is $670 all-in. At Negri it's $645. You can decide whether the additional $25 is a worthwhile investment based on the above. Also, Clove has a service (http://www.clove.co.uk/smartphone-pre-shipping-testing-service) for 20 GBP ($31 USD) where they will pre-test your phone before it's shipped and make sure all the functions are working. With the display issues that pop-up on the SGS3 having a phone pre-screened can save you a lot of hassle and eliminate the possibility of having to do one or more exchanges. They'll also pay r/t shipping to and from the UK for the exchange if they missed anything in their testing. Handtec probably offers a similar service. I've purchased devices from both and they're incredibly easy to deal with.
Choosing which way to get a SGS3 is a lot like people's attitudes toward buying insurance. If you're one of those that think the odds are in your favor and you’ll end up fine, find the cheapest SGS3 and buy it. If you want the security of knowing no matter what happens that you're covered, some of the more expensive routes will give you piece of mind. As I said, I always buy my devices via the UK direct.
Good luck.
I know Amazon has a 30-day no questions asked return policy. Just return it if its defective

Well, unless someone finds a way to root and flash roms without upping the flash counter on AT&T or verizon(they havent, have they?), I have no warranty anyway.
I'm been teetering on getting a new phone for a while and although dev for the att sgs2 has been good, we are always behind the international version. So I told myself I'd get the international version but am having a hard time justifying the cost lol. Especially since the nexus is down to 350 new and it'd be a straight up Google rom experience.

Well, Ordered my new samsung Galaxy S3 and waiting for it to come to me, but like many of you,since its my first 600+ investment on a Smartphone with no warranty in US, wanted to ask your views over is it really worth getting a warranty.
I have checked Squaretrade, and they informed me since Samsung US is not providing warranty over it, they will also not be providing any warranty on it.
Then I found this firm over internet, Ensquared, I talked to them and they said that they will be providing the warranty for this phone. Their deal looks too sweet to me, as replacing it with a brand new phone, world wide coverage is something too good to digest.
But havent heard of them much and dont know if it is good and reliable to get a warranty from them. Do you think is it worth taking it from them?

All this is not completely true. As long as you purchase your I9300 from an American store, and like Negri or Expanses USA then you can get a warranty and you already have a 1 year warranty. Expanses or Negri acts as the middleman for your warranty purposes and square and trade would work with them.

Ensquared is fine. They were the only ones to cover the Galaxy Nexus in the US when it first came out.
Unless like said above, you go through Negri or Expansys.

I had an order in for a Black i9300 on Newegg and then cancelled it because I found out that there isn't a warranty. Where can I buy an international Galaxy S3 for the US with a warranty over 90 days?
Don't want to drop $500 on a device and then have it break next month.

As someone found out in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036231 Seems like you're out of luck. Buy a really great case/screen protector and hope for a lack of hardware failure...and use American Express to purchase, but i'm unsure whether their warranty protection covers this.
Newegg gives 90 days on unlocked phones. I got mine there, and that was one of the reasons. You can also buy a third party warranty through them.

The third party warranty only covers accidental damage, not the warranty.
Hi guys,
I'm looking for a cheap deal for the phone for Christmas. After checking the usual mobile network deals I'm not convinced to pay £38/ month for 2 years.
Instead I saw new phones on ebay for £370 from a trusted seller.
Phones come from "outside UK" warehouse(I'm located in the UK) with 2 pin plug. I wonder if these are dodgy deals, or worth trying it?
The seller itself is providing the warranty for one year and they have very good feedback.
Here is one : LINK
I simply could not find a cheaper one around. DO you think I could go ahead with the buy?

Hmmm, I'm probably in the minority here but I'd beware. Their shipping them in from China and for that price I wouldn't be at all surprised if they're clones. They do have good feedback, but I just don't see how they could possibly sell the real article that cheap without it being dodgy. My guess is if you were able to get it on a network, it would get locked soon after. The other reason I think it's unsafe is that the warranty is with themselves, not an official Sony warranty, which basically means there isn't one.
I'd steer clear.

Not entirely sure if it'll come with a carrier. But the wifi version will probably be available just like the Tablet Z was. Both in Sony Stores and in resellers like Amazon, Best Buy, etc...
Best guess is it'll run $499 for a wifi 16Gb just like the Tablet Z did, and $599 for a 32Gb model. Mobile connectivity versions a bit higher, depending on if you buy them straight up or on a contract.
Last I heard indicated either late April or early May for release in the US. Probably May is more likely I bet.

Wow! I'm not here to bash, or promote, any particular retailer. I'm just a guy who wants to buy one of these and am frustrated that Sony isn't selling them here the U.S. (Similar story with the Z1C phone which I ended up buying from the U.K.)
But ... Did you really pay $1500 at Tropical Mobile (price I see on eBay) for a device which retails around the world for $5-600?
If so, my hat's off to you for being bold and decisive. I'm still waiting, hoping for a good option from the U.K. or from Sony USA. The price from the U.K., when available, is forecast at about $590 with support from Sony UK and a two year warranty. There are apparently reputable U.S. eBay sellers offering no-support Europe versions for $510. The latter are promised to already be through customs and ready to ship; what I read at Tropical Mobile is ambiguous about where they actually are and if there might still be customs issues.

Mine left Singapore too. I paid $560. It wasn't $1000 or so like u said at that time. So no need to rage just simple ask...

Thanks for both answers. That all seems much more reasonable. The big question I struggle with on any of these imports is warranty. Sony typically warrants their products for two years (sometimes with an offer of a 3rd year for an extra penny). I may never need it, but I hate to give it up. Did you get any kind of warranty?

I wouldn't assume that means anything. They may or may not be an authorized reseller, but if you take the device to Sony's repair facilities in another country, they may not cover it.
Sony USA for example has their own repair network. Their repair centers may not even have access to software or hardware for devices that aren't officially sold in the US market.
I'm not saying that the warranty is void, but unless you confirm it's valid with Sony and will be covered in your home country, I would not assume. I've got a lot of friends in the Philippines and they deal with that stuff all the time with items they have friends ship to them from the states. To the point where sometimes they ship items back to us for us to send in for repair, since the item is only covered under warranty in the US since that's where it was purchased. Similar circumstances may prove out for these.
That said, the prices are surprising. The SGP311 sold for $499 here in the states and I'd assumed the new Z2 Tablet 16GB wifi counterpart would sell for similar. I can buy that SGP511 model for $520-550 on Ebay. Even the LTE model is readily available in 16GB for $629. The cheapest I saw the TMobile complaint LTE Tablet Z was for about $650 in the states, without a subsidy.
I'm half tempted to buy a white 16GB LTE SGP521 just because I'm almost afraid prices will go up when the US model is available.
I may be overly pessimistic and completely wrong, but I both assume and expect that if I self-import an offshore Sony product that Sony USA week disavow any responsibility for it. Best case is that I would have to send it back to the country of export.

I was millimeters away from ordering the same model from the same seller - and may still. They were responsive to my inquiries and seemed like they would be reliable. They honestly answered my warranty question, which (to my shame) scared me away, or at least caused me pause. I'm not sure from your post... have you received it? Since they offered two-day delivery, I guessed they had the product in the U.S.A. already, which made me more comfortable about it not having to get through customs. How long did it take to arrive? It's supposed to have a U.S. plug; is it a satisfactory charger? Anyway, congratulations.
