Sound off! Are you pre-ordering or are you going to buy it in store?
Using Tapatalk so don't have access to poll. But I preordered. Have heard they will only get in a few Note2s per store when released.
I have preordered, but will ditch that preorder in a second if the store gets it even a day early.
I pre ordered.

Store here. I have a business account with 48 phones with then and because its a business they will not let me pre order so I am making sure they will have one for me launch day or I am going to be upset

Not preordering as I'd be buying full retail, and there is stuff I want to know about the phone before I spend $6-700 on it.
Preordered but will buy it in a store if the arrival date is later than the store is selling them.
I'm preordering if I can thru the military exchange store, no tax or shipping. Just not up yet for ordering.

Weird, sounds like your need a better account rep. I have thousands of lines and can preorder no problem. Do you have a VEC or B2B account to log in online with. Cause I know for certain I can pre-order with either. You have the option to ask for one to get setup to more easily maintain your account btw.
I pre-ordered on day one just to have a better chance at getting it before the store does. I even took two days off (Wednesday and Thursday) just in case I have to cancel my pre-order and get it myself that morning. I would rather go to the store and pick it up then wait for a Fedex truck if it's the same day.
I've been waiting for a Verizon Note since the original came out last year. I'm tired of playing with that sucker in the stores and I want it now!!!

Wanting this to happen to the Note 2 pre-orders.
Pre-order! The Verizon rep said that stores will have limited supplies at launch...
Picking up in store.
My sister picks up the tab on the bill and has had me on a legacy Alltel plan just voice and some texts for $10/mo extra. She and her husband are on unlimited data, but they're switching to the Share Everything plan, so I'm getting this to use for the same monthly bill. First time having a smartphone in service, I want to make sure it's one I'll keep for a while.
Also, I know it's highly unlikely for a pre-order item, but maybe there will be a BF/CM deal on it. Who knows? A guy can hope.
Probably going to wait until the phone is unlocked then by that time it may be cheap (reasonable) enough to purchase off contract, that or they will have announced when they're killing unlimited (then I switch carriers ) .

Why are they switching to the share everything plan? Tell them to keep it. I think 4gb shared is $50... my unlimited plan is 29.99, so x2 is only $10 more for no data restriction.
I'm trying out the Note 2 on US Cellular first, and if I like it after a week or so then I'll return it and pick it up at Verizon when it's released.

I'm not sure what she pays for her unlimited plans, but she said it will all come up to about the same price when she switches. I did encourage her to keep unlimited data, because I can live without an in-service smartphone.
Also, I forgot to include the main reason I'm picking up in store. Because she has to switch plans, if I pre-order, it'll knock my old Alltel phone off service until I get the Note II.

Nah, I want to play with the phone, see how it feels in hand, etc. I still wouldn't pre-order if I'm paying full retail. Pointless IMO as odds are that I can find a VZW store that has them in stock on launch day and go buy it if I want. I may even get it if it isn't unlocked as the S-Pen and multi-window stuff have me pulled in.

To each his own. Sprint had a model that didnt have anything connected so I was able to play around with the note 2 with no wires attached. Pretty sure after you toy around with it you will be hooked, so maybe it is better if you dont go lol

I'm still on SERO, so I'm probably going to order from the Sprint store in order to maintain my current plan... I'm not sure how BB or RS deal with contracts like SERO.

As long as you are elidgible for an upgrade, it doesn't really matter. Probably the closest store to your house.....
Anywhere other than Best Buy, unless you due for an upgrade. But their bloated retail price makes it a no go for me.
I'm sure they want it that way. They don't make a large margin selling phones at the same price as Sprint, unless they're opening new/renewing contracts, so why bother.
Does Best Buy price match? If they will price match Sprint's full retail price, then getting it there with the reward zone points is probably the best deal.
Bestbuy does pricematch. That's what I plan on doing since I will be paying full price.

RS?
If you preorder at RS, keep in mind they ship the number of preorders +1 until they run out, which is usually right away, RS doesn't have the capacity or overhead to stock enough units, so a preorder is only about a 50% shot that you'll get one. That and all their systems will crash on launch day, I think they use about one 486 CPU with 8mb of ram as their central server..

Radio Shack holds the preorder until you pick it up (I think they give you like 2 days to pick it up after they notify you that it is in stock).
They don;'t just take your preorder and then sell your phone to the first person that comes in asking for one. They hold it for a couple days just like everyone else.
I preordered my OG Evo there last year and they actually set up an appointment for me to come pick it up.

Don't get it from a sprint store if you are on sero!!! I went to get Nexus S for my wife at a corporate sprint store and they do not have access to sero accounts. I tried 3 different corporate stores and they all told me the same thing, they didn't have access and wanted me to either change her plan or buy the phone outright. I ended up upgrading her phone at best buy.

Best buy can't access your account in their system but they will call sprint and do it over the phone. Sprint corporate stores can't alter or access your account and from my experience they are not willing to try either. If I was you I would call customer service upgrade to sero premium then upgrade your phone at best buy or radio shack which ever you choose.

if you plan on paying full price don't buy from best buy because they will not price match retail. Trust me I tried like 5 best buys and even best buy mobile and they don't price match retail. They said that they don't make money selling the phone outright that's why they price it so high so they can make a profit. I am going to pre order at Sprint because the phone will be 150 cheaper than Best Buy

Hey guys, I apologize in advance if this has been addressed, but the answers I've read thus far seem scattered all over the place...when I purchased my Evo last year at BestBuy on release day, I added a line to my contract and received the full new line discount. I can still add up to three lines on my contract...so I was planning on doing the same for the 3D, already reserved at BestBuy, etc. Will I be able to do everything in the same manner as last year? Any thoughts or info would be greatly appreciated. I've had two different BestBuys give me a yes, a no, and the store in which I reserved it pleading their right to remain silent so to speak. Thanks again guys.

You can add a new line to your account anywhere and the new line will get the new line price. If you are on Sero, you might need to go through Sprint directly.
Awesome, sounds perfectly reasonable, and reflects my thoughts/hopes, thank you sir!

Either the new arrivals have to be inspected just like the 1st batch or there is a major shortage on the S4 Chips or its a combination of both.I feel us who pre ordered in Stores not called Best Buy won't see our phones for 2-3 week minimum.

So what are your thoughts..im at a loss of words here..How do you go from a national launch date of May 18,putting stupid little memos out to your stores about opening early and having launch parties to a one week delay,sent out pre orders and SCREW any local sprint stores you went to and pre ordered your phone from?
I don't understand and wish we could know more about what is going on instead of being left in the dark.Because as it stands they have my money collecting interest and I have no god damn clue when I will see my purchase.(yes i pre ordered but i paid the full amount)
i went to the sprint store to buy a case and they were all excited to see the phone and the ppl their told me national release is next week. take that with a grain of salt
I'm another one following closely. I even paid 115$ to get my upgrade date pushed up so when I buy this phone I will get it for the upgrade price...Anyway I didn't pre order it because I have the Evo3d and was gonna stay with it because I didn't think it was that much of an upgrade...anyhow I just cracked the screen on my 3d from dropping it...so I figured instead of paying 100$ to get a refurbished Evo3d I midas well just get the lte...So thats what I'm going to do...
So I'm waiting for it to hit the stores..whenever that will be...I see Bestbuy is still taking preorders but what I'm worried about is that the phone will hit the stores before I get my preorder...but I just don't know...I'm not sure if I should just wait for the stores to start selling it or preorder it from best buy..
Any thoughts??
That sucks Brian. I do know there is an impending S4 shortage. The US version of galaxy 3 will have s4 too, rumors are iPhone 5 also
I'd be ecstatic if launch was this weekend or next week

Good venting topic. I could not pre-order from Sprint online because my upgrade elegibility only reset on May 18. I could not pre-order from 3rd parties because I have a SERO plan. Now BestBuy store pre-orders are being filled while the Sprint corporate store where I'm on the Device Waiting List for EVO LTE tells me that maybe they'll have them next week. Should have just pre-ordered at BB and gone through the pain of activating a phone on a SERO line there. I sure hope this merits at least a waived activation fee once the phones are actually available.
I still believe that most of us pre orderers will get the pphone tomorrow ..I did mine at target and they said they will have it tomorrow ..and I'm the only preorder..I'm thinking about my lonely evo all by itself..I wonder where it is right now ..wish I could go save it from her misery

We are in the same boat my friend..I initially went to Best Buy for my pre order because of the deal they had with the gift cards.After waiting for 30 minutes i remembered i went though this last year with my Evo3D.Im on a really cheap contract(Sero+ Discounts from the OG Evo 4G) I have 2 lines unlimited everything No $10 data premium charge for $95/month..No way Best Buy could keep me on this plan.Last year I had to go to a Sprint Corporate store to Pre Order.
I can only upgrade through a Sprint corporate location because my plan doesn't show up in 3rd party computers...And here we are to this very moment,lost and hoping for some info.I've ruled out this weekend(god its going to be long) and set my eyes to next week...Im not looking for a freebe here or a damn cheeseburger..Just give me a god damn date and be done with it.I think there isn't a date because its going to be a long while(2+ weeks) buts thats just the pessimist in me./Frustration

I've been saying it for a while. But there are more issues out there. The fact that some of these phones cleared customs a week ago and only getting to customer now is crazy. I think the phones are barely trickling in. In fact I know they are.
There is a reason why only enough phones (for half a dozen preorders) are being shipped to every best buy. No extras are being shipped anywhere.
Sprint has dragged their feet with a new launch date because they just don't have the supply. I think they fulfilled the preorders first, then shipped to Best Buy, then shipped to Wirefly, then shipped to Amazon. Now they are probably trying to build some stock for a national launch. But its trickling.

Thats fine..but trickle that Sh*t to the customers who gave them their $$ in THEIR stores as well..Im sure there weren't many of us...We pre ordered just like the rest of these guys.Why are we the ones to wait..If Best Buy can hand it out in store to their customers we should be treated the same way.
Hello Everyone,
I am buying outright once my local sprint store gets one. My job pays for my simply everything plan but, if I want ownership of the phone, I must buy outright. To have done an upgrade or bought outright through the corporate account, would have been a nightmare with our office. Plus, the phone would have shipped to corporate( in a different state) then would have shipped to me.
Sure hope my local stores can get some soon. Yes I must wait but, it is worth getting free simply everything plan and mobile internet for my laptop that I can use as personal too.

I agree. Seems like Best Buy got preferential treatment. Think about it, they had to get the phones shipped to their distribution centers then shipped to the individual stores and they are handing out the phones the same day online sprint orderers are getting their phones.
None of the logistics of this whole ordeal make any sense. But one would think that Sprint Stores would have higher importance over third party retailers.
I'm beginning to get a little aggravated myself.
I did go to the trouble of preordering but someone at Sprint keyed in the order number wrong for someone else who was canceling and my order got cancelled by mistake. So, I call Sprint and spend about an hour and a half moving up the chain of command only to find out that I'm SOL. The phone is no longer available for preorder nor is it available for regular orders.
I'm thinking "no big deal" since I'll be able to walk into a Sprint store the day after preorders arrive and pick one up but now it's looking like that's not gonna happen. To add insult to injury they've still got my $216 and they're telling me that it will be another 10-15 days before they'll be able to credit it back to my account.
Sheesh!! Come on guys........

While box sales are important for corp owned stores, they make up a very small % of overall box sales within the company. They are mainly for customer service.

Actually now it's no go for we SERO-P customer to upgrade at BB. I pre-ordered the phone from BB online on the first day, and today they shoot a call telling me that the order could not be processed since I'm on SERO-P. I then called Sprint employee account service and got confirmed that we SERO user can no longer get new phones while keep the plan from 3rd party retailer. Now I'm stuck at nowhere to get the phone except waiting for the official launch date to be announced. Hope this would make you feel better
Ok, I don't know what happened exactly today, but technically, I got a Note III for free. Somehow. Lemme explain:
I saw the Verizon30 promo code online last week. I called customer care, and asked them to add it to my pre-order. Un-possible they said...
I was able to get customer care to add a credit to my account for $45, then they would credit me another $45 after my 2-week return period ends (to know I'm locked in to my contract)
I then got my upgrade fee waived with another $30 credit to my account, because before they offered me my $90 credit, someone in Telesales said I could get my upgrade fee waived; I took her up on her offer, but with another supervisor.
THEN, I today received my Note III at work. I couldn't open the box, because I ordered the phone in CT, but I ordered it to my job in MA, where they charged tax on the full retail price on the phone. So, I returned the phone in the Fedex box unopened without a restocking fee, and went to corporate to do the return.
I was going to just return the phone, buy a new one and be out.
Then I realized the Verizon30 code was still valid, so I did an order on my laptop in-store, and did an in-store pickup option.
The salesman was processing my order, an error came up, I don't know what was happening.
I was coming in prepared to plop down $299 + CT taxes on the phone. I walked out paying a mere $90!!!
I don't know what the hell happened. I returned the other phone, and the money was being processed to my card already, have the receipt for that. Then, they only charged me $90 for the new one....
I asked them why, they didn't understand it, maybe an error with the promo code or something, but instead of getting $90 off the phone, I payed that amount. They said I shouldn't argue with that price, I agreed, paid and left. Now, I still am getting that $90 credit on my next bill, plus the credit for the upgrade fee I payed in store today. So, technically I paid $7 in tax for the phone at the end of the day, which is nutz. :laugh:
if anyone else can explain what happened, please tell me, otherwise I'm very confused.
I only paid 175$.. don't know how either.

I got mine for 80$. I used the Verizon 30 code and they said I wasn't able to buy it for 209 so I had to get 120 in free accessories. So I just went back and returned the accessories
Same here.. I used the code and selected store pickup.. Walked in a hour later expecting to spend ~$250 all said and done... and was happy about it compared to the $350 it was going to be.
I get to the store and after playing a game of musical SIMs to get the Note 3 on my unlimited line, we come to the payment screen and he says $127.. I ask him if he was sure and we look at the break down and my unlimited was untouched and the discount charged me $90 for the phone instead of taking off $90.. Then $30 for the upgrade fee and I walked out with a Note 3 on my unlimited line for $127.
Verizon defiantly has some glitches in their system right now.. Here is to hoping they stand up for their mistakes and dont try and screw us later..
Just as a question, if they sold a phone for $90 on accident, could they then demand us to pay the rest? Or is the phone then legally ours?
Oh cool guys. I only paid $750 for mine. Lol

So with this "glitch", is this ordering online and doing an in-store pickup, or is this being done at BestBuy? How did you do it? I want to see if I can do the same.

I believe it has to do with the VERIZON30 code and selecting In-Store Pickup. For some reason a lot of people are getting it for $90 when they do a store pickup (at a Verizon location, not Best Buy).

So with this "glitch", is this ordering online and doing an in-store pickup, or is this being done at BestBuy? How did you do it? I want to see if I can do the same.

Mine only gave me the option to pickup at a offical verizon store. Which I didn't like because I really like the guys at the phones plus here better than the official vzw store.
But mine said that my phone was going to be 209 online but only charged me 89.99 once I got into the store.

This is just crazy. I'll be doing this over my Lunch break in about an hour from now. I'll post back to let people know it's still valid. Wish me luck!
What is the exact code for the promo? I'll do this right now

Are you guys upgrading your line? Will this work for those wanting to buy the phone at retail price?

I think this is for subsidized pricing only.
How does one get the $30 upgrade fee waived?

Complain about it to csr at store. I got mine waived. But that was before I heard about this.

Did you guys have to enter in credit card info online too?
It works!
After reading through this thread at 12:00pm eastern time (I'm in NYC) I decided to pull the trigger and give it a shot. I logged in online and put the order in with the VERIZON30 code. I entered my card number and it showed the total to be ~$260. I got the confirmation e-mail and went to the store where I was able to get the last black Note 3. The rep did the standard stuff with setting up the phone and checking out but he came across an error message. He asked his associate if he had ever seen anything like that before and the other guy shook his head. Unable to figure out what had happened he proceeded with the check out and I was able to pay for the phone for only ~$130 (couldn't convince him to waive the upgrade fee but I can't complain). I'm not sure how much longer it'll be before Verizon catches on but pull the trigger now if you're definitely sure about buying it!
Same here, I only paid 128... when i pick up the phone at the store last night, they want me to sign the bill, it was only $128. I was like really. The employees there was confused too. But they didn't care.

Same here.. I used the code and selected store pickup.. Walked in a hour later expecting to spend ~$250 all said and done... and was happy about it compared to the $350 it was going to be.
I get to the store and after playing a game of musical SIMs to get the Note 3 on my unlimited line, we come to the payment screen and he says $127.. I ask him if he was sure and we look at the break down and my unlimited was untouched and the discount charged me $90 for the phone instead of taking off $90.. Then $30 for the upgrade fee and I walked out with a Note 3 on my unlimited line for $127.
Verizon defiantly has some glitches in their system right now.. Here is to hoping they stand up for their mistakes and dont try and screw us later..
Just as a question, if they sold a phone for $90 on accident, could they then demand us to pay the rest? Or is the phone then legally ours?

Hi, currently Amazon has the HTC One m8 for 149.99$ on Amazon, which is 50$ off normal retail on a 2-year contract. I'm currently on the grandfathered unlimited plan but if I upgrade through Amazon, I have to select one of their plans. Is there any way to keep Unlimited Data? And if I order the phone, would calling AT&T help get my plan back?
I would highly recommend you don't do that. If you choose a different plan, then AT&T probably will NOT let you get it back. So that I don't take any chances, I always upgrade directly in a corporate AT&T store or via the website. And when I'm in the store, I verify with the salesperson that they're not touching my data plan.
I actually just gave up my unlimited data because its so restricted. Could only use data on my phone, couldn't tether without getting a nasty phone call from them saying they were going to add in charges since I was tethering without the plan - thats even after using workarounds on XDA they still caught me ? But yeah if you really don't wanna lose it then go directly into the store and go for it. You can still do AT&T Next with the Unlimited plan if you were interested in that over the 2 year plan also. I had originally done that, but it was too expensive, so I switched to mobile share...sucks since I was unlimited for so long but I found that my average data use was around 2 GB per month anyways strangely. I use lots of Wifi. Anyways, definitely wont let you get it back if you change it.
I think they price match at the store.

Go to bestbuy, they will price match amazon and let you stay on your current plan.
that's what I did. actually I also had the $50 phone upgrade discount option sitting at best buy since last feb as well, so I combined both and got the phone for $100 plus tax.
Thanks everyone! I think I might go with the Best Buy price match option, that way I get the phone on the same day and if there's any problems I can exchange the phone without having to ship and wait days.

Is that 50$ discount still available or was it a time limited thing?
Edit: Nevermind, just found out its not Oh well thank you!

Correct, you had to sign up around the Superbowl and essentially "reserve" a $50 gift card.
If you upgrade at a Best Buy or Best Buy Mobile, you can keep your same plan and your unlimited data feature. Their system doesn't force employees to change your plan or its associated features.

So I just went to Best Buy and they said they do NOT price match on contract phones. I kept insisting that other people did it but they gave me a thing and checked online and it said they don't. I have no idea how you were able to but I brought the Amazon paper and everything and they said no.
It seems I'm gonna have to go with Next.
That sucks. Mine was an add-on line to my girlfriends existing account. But they guy didn't seem to care if it was on contract, new line - he was just happy to make the sale. This was at one of the Best Buy Mobile booths in the SF Bay Area.

I may just have to check this out... $5 a month! Not bad
I called them this morning...
I am already with T-mobile and called them this morning with a load of questions.
Their call centers were briefed on the Gear S just yesterday. As far as they know, the Gear S can not be pre-ordered, as it is considered an accessory. I did register to purchase, though, but did not receive a confirmation of any kind. The call centers are very new to the product and training is still ongoing, so if you reach out, take what they say with a grain of salt.
Even if they don't know all the details just yet, I would rather it is announced with a date as opposed to waiting around another week for their staff to be trained properly
I really want this watch and that rate plan is a good deal. Now the only thing left is the gear vr.

Agreed same thing the other carriers have said about the accessory part but last I checked we are not paying a data plan to listen to our music via bluetooth headphones which are true accessories. This gear S is a mini phone with a mini plan.
T-mobile plan to have it available Nov 9th not sure what the offical launch days are with t-mobile but it doesn't sound like they are Sunday so indeed they don't really care about this launch

Yeah, I went down to the T-Mobile store and asked to get a call as soon as it came in! They look awesome!
I am very interested in buying this thing (two of them actually) wondering if anyone has asked or knows: Will it get it's own number or can they link it to your current number? I just don't think it'll be real useful to txt and call with a diff number than your phone. Also, anybody have any idea if this will work with note 2 (wife still using N2). Thanks!

Yes it works on Samsung galaxy S3 and up. If you have T-mobile/AT&T you can use your number from the phone. You forward your calls when you want to leave the phone at home

T-Mo Gear S
Got mine today!
FYI. Not many T-Mobile employees are knowledgeable on the accessory rollouts. (Prepare to know more than them)
I went into a T-mo store today to inquire about the Nov. 9th release, and see if it was possible to get it early. The rep didn't know anything about it, nor did his manager. After some insistence from me, they checked the T-Mo community & confirmed my info, but still didn't know when they would get it. All they said was "we don't get deliveries on Sundays, we'll call you Monday if we get some in". Frustrated, but not defeated, I went home did a little more research, called another T-mo location. Not only did they know what I was talking about, they had it in stock & would sell it to me today. 15 minutes later...Got it!!!
If at first you don't succeed... :good:

Bought it & tied it to the $5 plan. They REALLY tried to get me to go with the $15\mo. plan, almost making it seem mandatory. ($15 plan includes insurance)
"I don't need no stinkin' insurance!!!"

Can you clarify the question asked? Do we need a previous T-Mobile plan? Online it only lets us chose $5 plan if we have already a Simply Choice line with T-Mobile. And only option is $15 a month plan if no T-Mobile. Are you saying if we go to store we can get the $5 plan even without another Simply Choice line?
Just got one from my local tmobile store.

Every T-mobile store here in Milwaukee said they didn't have it. There was one that said they might get a shipment sometime during this week.

I believe I answered the original question quite clearly. I'll give yours a try though...
Disclaimer:
I can only speak of my experience & the questions that I brought up\answers received.
I am already a T-Mobile account holder (Simple Choice Plan). I'd read about the $5/mo. plan online, and when the rep in the store said $15/mo., I was slightly confused. (then came the questions)
The rep seemed confused and was really pushing the $15 plan as if that was the only option, after a lot of back & forth, he admitted that I didn't have to get that plan if buying the watch outright. (I didn't have to get any plan)
They said it's like setting up another line. The watch will even has its own phone number. (more than likely works by "re-routing" calls to your "phone's" number when applicable & vice-versa)
To the best of my knowledge;
If you ARE currently a "T-Mobiler", and you buy it outright, and don't want the "standalone" mobile network features, you don't need to select a plan at all.
If you ARE currently a "T-Mobiler", and you buy it outright, and want the "standalone" mobile network features, you select the $5 plan.(what I did)
If you ARE currently a "T-Mobiler", and you choose the "payment plan" option, you must select the $15 option. (payment plan devices MUST be insured, like the JUMP program)
If you are NOT a "T-Mobiler", and you buy it outright, but want the "standalone" mobile networkfeatures of the watch (not just the "watch -> phone Bluetooth connection" option), you have to get the $15 plan.
**After purchasing the watch, you have up to 14 days to add the "protection plan" to it. ($10/mo I guess)
I can't tell you much about "non" account holder info, as I am a "T-Mobiler".
Hope that helps.
