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))?
I bought mine from amazon before I buy S3 I tried note as well. But for some issue I didn't like the note so returned it. So I would suggest you to buy from amazon. And it does work with thm.
Expansys-USA.
You will only get 2G on T-Mobile and any MVNO based off T-Mobile.

I mean if someone don't use mobile data thn they should get the international version. Getting this version I am gonna save good enough money in long run
I bought the S3 for $700 something including shipping etc.
So I got the t-mobile pre-paid monthly $60, = $720 year. I used use sprint and I was paying $130 per month =$1560 now do the math. So I am gonna save mobile price in a year :silly:

If you outright buy your phone, you could go with a Tmobile MVNO, like Simple Mobile or Straight Talk (BYOD) and save lots more. But if you'd go with an MVNO, I would suggest Straight Talk (BYOD AT&T SIM), NET10 (BYOD AT&T SIM) to save and get fast data as well... YMMV
www.straighttalksim.com
I use this on my I9300 for $45 a month unlimited* I bought my S3 off of Craigslist for $500 new in sealed box (risky) off some random guy..
Red Pocket is another option, although you'd be paying the same $60 a month, you at least get 2GB capped fast data access..

No this is the INTERNATIONAL version. I know this store because im from NYC, this store is known for importing phones from Europe and selling in NYC. That why it says IMPORT and if you read it says quad core...meaning its not the US version. This phone is most likely imported from UK. It only says AT&T meaning its compatible with its network

Hello
I am thinking seriously to buy the GS2 of AT&t to use it with my ST SIM card...Now please I want to know your opinions , should I go for this Galaxy S2 , or not ? should I wait some time for something new ? I know this device is of August or Sep 2011 technology , but stil the hardware is excellent ...
Another point is that I can get it for around 450$ locally from AT&T store (plus tax extra) .. is that a good price from a trustful seller ?
Thanks
Edit : I will not buy it through ATT contarct ... I will pay full retail price and get a ST SIM...
Personally I would at least wait till May 3rd for the SGSIII announcement even though we wont get it will end of the year but its nice so you know before you jump the gun.

I have to agree. If you can't wait, it's a nice phone if you don't need 4G.

Can you explain more please ? you mean LTE ? I don't think my city would get LTE at least for a year from now...
Examine your own needs thoroughly.
I don't have LTE, I don't have huge hands (No One X or anything above 4.5 for me!) and I wanted a phone that could last through a day and then some on moderate usage. The GSII in my opinion still trumps other newer phones. It's got great battery life, huge developer community, great screen, and the almighty Exynos to power your games

Yes, LTE is what I meant. If LTE is not a big deal for you, and you can't wait for the Galaxy III, then I say go for it.

I love my SGSII! But, if I were you I would also wait until the SGSIII announcement. I am a gadget freak so for me it's hard to stick to one phone for long, but I'd have to say that the SGSII is one of the best devices one could own.
I bought a refurbished/like-new gsII for $250 just 2 weeks ago to use with ST. Im am very satisfied with it thus far(was previously using a Samsung infuse 4g). SGH-i777 runs noticeably faster though i prefer the larger 4.5in screen on the infuse. And yes 4g is available and works very well through att + straight talk for me.
If your looking for a bargain, i would look for a used gs II (~$250 is a great deal for buying a smart phone like this off contract). But if you have 400-500 spend, you might as well wait for the newer phones which have larger screens with better resolutions and better specs overall.

That estimate seems really low. The S2 (both international and AT&T) is still selling for like $550 new. You think the S3 is going to sell for less than $500? It'll probably be more like $750...

That's a smart point indeed ...
AT&T stores and website are selling the GS2 I777 for $449.99 now
Maybe a little less in 1 or 2 months , ~$350-$400
And for sure GS3 price would be skyhigh in the near future , ~$750 or more when released , at least 3-4 months from now ... Clearly out of my budget..
The SGSII is a great phone and it still has a few more good years left in it and like mentioned in earlier postings still competes if not blows away newer devices. if LTE is not a big deal for you and getting the latest and greatest right away is not your thing, then by all means grab this phone. It has great community support and with it being somewhat of an older model it could be had at a bargain with some research. i got mine for $51 including taxes with a 2 year agreement which i didnt mind cause I just got added to a family plan at Fry's electronics. Anyway grab one or not you wont be disappointed.

well, full retail price will definitely be up there but you can usually find people reselling newer model phones between 400-600 in new/like-new condition off of craigslist/ebay/amazon. Also i pretty much consider everything above $500 to be in the same price range. If your really gonna drop $500 on a phone, might as well add the extra 100 or 200 to get best of the best.
If you look hard enough i know you can find great deals out there, or you could always pay full retail too i guess.

You should always be extremely wary of buying a phone from craigslist/ebay/ecrater...I've seen a few sellers purporting to sell the Galaxy Note for $250-$450 new, and they've all had no ratings and unsigned web pages. Suspicious to say the least.

bull. i sell phones all the time and obviously if its $250 for a note then thats a scam why bother. got a skyrocket for sale now for $350
you don't need LTE cause you're running ST.
First of all i really do love the note but i am also on tmobile and the slow and inconsistent data speeds are really bringing me down and i think ive had enough. So I was thinking about giving up my note. Should i give it up for the us galaxy nexus? If not what phone? Basically before the note i had a dumb phone and i just want to know yalls opinion on which phone do you think would be the best? Also is cl a good place to sell the note?
I can comment on the CL question. I've sold several phones on craigslist. As long as you meet in well-lit, highly trafficked areas (I.E. Walmart) you should be just fine.
Just out of curiosity. Are you changing service as well? Your t-mobile speeds would be the same with another device right? (or am i missing something)
One X is OK if u can manage it (no SD, non removable battery), nexus is OK 2, but will be slower. Skyrocket if u don't mind wait about a month for official ics.
Craigslist is a good place to sell, always agree to meet in a public location during day, bring a friend, and accept cash only for such expensive items. Kijiji.com is also good if you have it in your area
I never understood why so many T-Mobile people bought AT&T phones at retail then used them on T-Mobile. Wouldn't saving the $500 on the phone pay for the price difference for plans and then some? also a better network to go with it.
as the other guy said wouldn't you still have slow data speeds with the nexus? does the T-Mobile modem not give u the faster network speeds?(not sure about this since I never looked into T-Mobile modems and stuff)

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
It seems to be true that ATT has more choices of high end phones and is the only one offering galaxy note. This might explain why ppl are buying att phones hoping to reflash with tmobile modems.
Tmobile gives fewer choices but lower cost and faster data speed. It also allows for tethering at no additional cost. Some phones sold by tmobile work on practically all gsm 3G networks. Tmobile unlocks their phones when you need it.
I don't think ATT does something similar.
GSM Galaxy Nexus is T-Mobile compatible out of the box.
If you're using the the Note on T-Mobile now, it's unlocked. Sell it on ebay for $600+, go buy yourself the Galaxy Nexus for $400 direct from Google.

Yeah this is why i bought the note because it looked amazing and found out it was able to work with tmobile. Its just the speeds are not up to usual tmobile speeds and they are inconsistent which idk why but i guess its because of the modem. I do have faster speeds with actual tmobile phones.

I might just hold out and wait till the galaxy s3 comes out and see what it has to offer. If its as good as its hyped up to be might just see if it'll work on tmobile. Depends.
I'm tossing in the towel myself

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/17/verizon-clarifies-shared-data-plans/
– Customers will not be automatically moved to new shared data plans. If a 3G or 4G smartphone customer is on an unlimited plan now and they do not want to change their plan, they will not have to do so.
– When we introduce our new shared data plans, Unlimited Data will no longer be available to customers when purchasing handsets at discounted pricing.
– Customers who purchase phones at full retail price and are on an unlimited smartphone data plan will be able to keep that plan.
– The same pricing and policies will be applied to all 3G and 4GLTE smartphones.
So, unlimited data is dead, but only when you upgrade after the cutoff date. If you buy full-price phones or used phones, your data is safe. They're also not going to confiscate it.

I agree that it's total BS, but you can get Rezounds for like 250 bucks on Swappa or Craigslist and it's only been 6 months. If you're willing to wait a bit for a phone, the prices drop fast. Basically this isn't the kiss of death it could have been.

Well we don't actually know. But we do know there will be a provision that will allow a new device to be activated on an unlimited line. How exactly though will they enforce the policy is the question. It would seem very logistically difficult to preclude used phones, but who knows.

since verizon has moved on to LTE that use a sim card
they wont have to activate anything in the store anymore, you will be doing the sim card swap yourself if you want to keep your unlimited data
Wait so even if we are eligible for our two year upgrade after the cutoff date, will we lose the unlimited data to switch to a new 4g phone??

I guess you can buy a phone off contract and keep the unlimited data. My question is does vzw provide warranty on phones you buy off contract

I am not sure I agree. When Verizon wants us to pay full retail price for a device to keep unlimited, I doubt they'll be okay with us just activating a new device purchased outside of their system.

what are they going to do? When I got the rezound on another line and swapped sims, I didn't have to call verizon to do anything.

They should as long as the line has the insurance/extra warranty coverage, and you don't cancel it, they should honor it on any phone on that line. I would get pretty irate if I'm paying for that service and then they don't honor it.

I don't feel like paying 800$ for a new phone. I'll probably just switch to Sprint after my contract is up.

Good luck with the nations slowest network. Average Download speeds on the galaxy nexus are between 1mb-1.5mb lol. No LTE until 2013-2014. Have fun
yeah they were talking about this in the other thread. it does suck having to buy a phone for full price but at least then we don't have to keep signing away 2 more years of our lives to verizon.
I'm sure you have seen this posted on other phone's thread but I just want to make sure everyone has the chance to see it. Not only can you get an upgrade for 50% off it is working for people who chose month to month. So pick up your phone of choice for around 300 off contract!
For off contract price: ****EDIT: Looks like they removed the Month to month option*********
Just select the device you want from https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/cellphones.html you can select to either create a new line, add a line or upgrade(they all work). Change it to "month to month" and go through the check out and select whatever plan you want and when you get to the final page of checkout you will see the 50% off promotion take 50% off! After you receive your phone you can decide if you want to cancel the plan or keep it
Discounted price:
Of course its the same thing just keep the 2 year price before checking out. You must do an upgrade or add a line.
:good:
You probably will never see this again, 100 for a top of the line phone with an upgrade OR 300 off contract
I would recommend the S4 Active I would have recommended the HTC One but you probably already have one

Yeah Ive already ordered about 6 phones so far.
Watch out for the bunch of snobs on the forums casting judgement atop their stallion of morality and this would be constituted as "fraud". They will also tell you that you came here to the forums to "brag" about coming "fraud" blah blah blah...
If you have a premier account there is also a "glitch" that allows you to upgrade your lines with a 50% discount as long as youre at least a couple months into your contract

It's a promotion. The glitch is that it's only supposed to be for upgrades and new activations. I just paid $300 for an off contract S4 Active
I wonder if I called them I'd be able to swing an upgrade a month early.

Last time I talked to them online they quoted me that they could be pushed into upgrade up to 3 months ahead of the upgrade day. Just quote me "My friend said that when he called the lady told him that you can upgrade up to three months... are you saying that he is a better customer than me"
That should do the trick, then get them to price match the promotion and dont forget about waiving the activation (it's a part of the promotion)

I purchased my One last week in store. Just called AT&T and they agreed to price match the promo. I will be recieving a $100 credit on my bill.

It's OK. Doing fine with 32 gb. Think I'll buy the next iThing when it comes out and turn it over on ebay for profit.
Let us know if this deal fell through. It sounds too good to be true.

Hmmm...One of my lines only has a "discounted iPhone upgrade" available" and it shows $449 for a 16GB iPhone 5, but when I select it the total price is only $100... discounted from the full upgrade price of $199. LOL
Can you combine with the $100 trade in credit

I think that is the pricing that all the phone providers are looking to be at. Any more then 10 bucks a month and people will not go for it as that is the same price as normal cell phone.
Nice find atleast hear something
http://9to5google.com/2014/10/30/samsung-gear-s-release-date/
So I walked into a Sprint Corporate store yesterday morning to inquire about the Gear S and phone combo. The employees were not even aware that it was coming Nov 7 I kindly reminded them it was announced on sprints website and all over the internet. One employee told me if it were coming out this Friday the store would brief them on Wednesday. The other employee told me that the Gear S will have it's own phone number. While another told me it is Bluetooth only. I said this all to say they are clueless and I'm still left wondering how Sprint will deal with this uicc card in the Gear S as LTE will not be available for this. I also called Sprint Sales Center they had no Idea the watch was coming to the USA so soon.
Thats crazy. I myself went into best buy spoke to a Samsung employee and he didnt know that it was coming out this week.

Consigning, I've called five Verizon and four Best Buy stores and they have no clue when they will receive or sale the watch. There were some Samsung reps at Best Buy who never heard of the watch. Really? How is that possible?
I had a long chat with the T-mobile rep who sold me the Gear Circle. He said they are selling the watches this Sunday, 9 November. If Verizon or Best Buy doesn't come through I will purchase the watch outright from T-mobile and put a Verizon sim in it later. I want the watch NOW!

It's our watch and we want it now lol. Yes If t-mobile will allow me to pay the 350 plus taxes with no contract I will gladly pair it to my Note 4 Sprint. I don't plan to use the standalone internet i will bluetooth tether the gear S. and forward my calls when I want to leave the phone at home.

FYI, Verizon SIM only works for LTE. Since, Gear S doesn't appear to support LTE, that will be useless. And probably will never work because you will need CDMA hardware inside and with CDMA, the ESN of the watch must be already registered with the carrier.

I'm pretty sure the watch will need to have an active SIM to work with receiving calls when your phone is not near.

I read the calls will be forward to the watch when you leave your phone at home. Other wise the gear will have a separate number for the phone and there will be no need to pair the phone besides downloading apps. Sprint does not have SIM cards they have uicc cards that give LTE only which the Gear S will not have.

F U Sprint I just walked out of AT&T with my Gear S off contract no way I would pay 416$ (384 plus tax)
when I just paid 325.49 (299 plus tax) Although I still have my Note 4 with Sprint

JUST IN CASE YOUR WONDERING
So I had a long confusing talk with Sprint this morning and the Sales Rep say's this there are 2 options for Sprint right now either or you add it to you Family Share plan (As long as it has 20GB or more to share). The gear has its own NUMBER. If you use all of the 100MB before the month is up they will Suspend your Gear S until you pay the overages or just wait for next month to pay again. When your phone is at home the Gears Number, messaging and data will be used . It is considered a mini phone. So if you have unlimited everything your watch will have a mintues/text plan of 1,000 100GB internet. It is best to use Bluetooth a lot. Unless you don't use internet if you want to cancel your plan from watch (9.99 a month for 2 years) 200$ cancellation fee
so happy i'm with t-mobile. they're treating the device like a tablet . if you go over your data it will just slow down, they won't charge you extra

That would make more sense for all carriers to do right. Do you know how much t-mobile is for outright? I may return this to AT&T and buy t-mobile to get free data for life lol thats what they advertize anyway
So I work at an AT&T store but I have Sprint service on my Note 3 because I need unlimited. Can I buy the watch from my AT&T for a discounted price and still put it on my Sprint plan for $10/month or is the watch carrier locked to AT&T then? I can get it from my store for under $300 after taxes with my discount, but I want it to work with Sprint service on it and I didn't think that was possible. Can someone clear this up for me please?
All US Gear S watches are carrier locked. Even it is not locked, you can't use a GSM(AT&T) phone on CDMA(Sprint) network. That will never happen.

Sadly we've preliminarily determined that it does not use the hybrid GSM/CDMA architecture, even though it's chipset supports it. There have been no teardowns and no root yet, so we don't know what the radios include. The FCC documents say that there are at least two completely separate versions, one for GSM (AT&T/T-Mobile) and another for CDMA (Verizon/Sprint). They were tested separately and there was nothing indicating that they had hybrid radios.
Just have to wait until they get opened up.
It was a bad move on Samsung's part ...
