Maybe once the GN3 is officially released it will be eligible for this promotion which will bring the price down to $300. I'm going to check on it again tomorrow.

Hi. So was this on an upgrade or a new line or new customer? If an upgraded did BB give you any hassle? I'm getting mine on Saturday but was thinking that BB would just say that no price match since one is ATT and one is Sprint. I guess the same could be said about the "port your number" price. I can handle confused sales people as long as I have a "logical" argument as to why the price match so applies.

Thanks. I figured asking for 249 would be pushing it I think I'll just ask them to price match ATT then see what I can get for my Note 2 for trade in. Also, the one up looks attractive but I would hate giving up my grandfathered unlimited data family plan.

Push it to the limit! I too got it for $249.99, if not possible then settle for $299.99 and if both are no dice go to a different Best Buy and be friendly to the person helping you!!
A little bit of conversation, smile, and charisma go a long way [I was trying to flirt with her -- she was good looking LOL].
Would have been super nice if I also got the$50 gift card, but I didn't :silly:
I got my sprint note 3, added a line, no number port. The guy who sold me the phone found it for $249 on wirefly and price matched. I liked to have died, thanks bestbuy.
On side note, no one up program @ bestbuy. Only sprint stores or sprint.com.

Best Buys price match policy on their website clearly states they do NOT price match online retailers. With that being said, yes some do get lucky. What I did was look up other brick and mortar retailers to see what they showed as the "advertised price". Fry's has it for $249.99, so does Sam's Club, heck, even sprint has it "advertised" for $249.99, it's not until you look at the "fine print" that it shows $100 discount is for clients bringing their number from another carrier.
So if you want you can save another $50, use that towards a screen protector / case :silly:
I guess the Note 3 is not eligible for the promotion. I went to a Best Buy Mobile kiosk in the mall and they told me it was but when I went to the purchase the phone they told me it wasn't part of it and refused to honor the promotion.
Did anybody try to price match after already have bought the phone?
Upon finding this thread, I immediately headed to best buy with proof of Sprint.com prices and such, and was denied by the manager on the grounds that they only price match if you do it on the day of the purchase. That the 15 day price match guarantee only applies to their own prices, and even then, mobile contract phones do not apply.
Thoughts?
Edit: I bought the phone on october 4th as an eligible upgrade. I actually got two, one for my wife and for me. We had two eligible upgrades.

If you want the discounts try another person / manager in the store. If not then try another store. If all fails you can go the route of returning them within 14 days or threatening to unless they match the price.
Good luck.
Hate bestbuy lol
I just went to bestbuy spoke to a manager and everything, Amazon has the gn3 on contract for 250 even for existing customers, they wont price match it, he even showed me in their price match guide where it says "no price match for on contract phones"... Then he says well how about a case (got one) how about a screen protector (got one), I said how about a gift card? Nope! lol... oh well I may take it back, and get it off amazon, its just lame how they say "beat any price" and then there is a bunch of fine print!
Yall that got them to price match, Thats freaking great!!

I'm planning on getting the EVO 3D off contract but so far I only see Radio Shack quoting it at $499. Has anyone heard of other retailer pricing? Does Amazon sell phones off contract? If $499 is the lowest and Amazon sells off contract then no tax or shipping cost would be better than RS or BB.
I realize the release date is still ad few weeks away but maybe we can use this thread to update competitor pricing for those looking for off contact purchases.
Radio Shack: HTC EVO 3D - $499
Amazon.com: HTC EVO 3D - $469 (no tax, free shipping)
bam! 4th thread asking the same question...... congratulations!!!!!!!!
short answer...... its all speculation. Leaked ad showed it selling at $499 off contract but nothing official was released.
oh that $499 price was Radio Shack. Sprint and Best Buy may have a different price assuming that $499 was accurate.
ok let this thread die until stores officially release pricing
My intention is to keep this thread dedicated to places selling off contract so people don't have to wade through the contract discussion. I would also update the OP to include the list people suggest. I agree there are too many identical threads but this would attempt to direct off contract customers here.
Brick and mortar, online, wholesalers, etc. Preferably avoiding shady places.
until there are official off contract pricing this thread is useless and would just be cluttered up with guesses providing no real info. Let the other threads collect that junk that have been collecting other people's junk.
When there is official pricing then a thread like this would be useful
I am buying off contract as well. I will keep an eye out on this thread but my guess is that Sprint will have the lowest price,BB will have the highest, & not sure about the others.
I just for an email about the Evo 3D from Sprint this morning.
It said $199 on contract with $200 instant savings, and that's it. It'd be hard to believe that it would only be $400, but that's kinda how it looked to me. I'll upload a screen shot in a minute.
Isn't this thing supposed to be an e-reader, weird.

thats how it looks at first glance but read it carefully. $200 instant savings. That may not mean $200 2 year contract instant savings. Or it could.
I just have a hard time believing that the new flagship phone will be cheaper retail than 5 other phones they carry all which have a $300-$350 difference between contract and non contract price
The fine print was posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112504&page=3
I'm also buying off contract.
If it's $199.00 after $200.00 in instant savings then I'm guessing that's also after the full $150.00 contract renewal discount.
I'm predicting it will be $549.00 from Sprint and either the same or $599 from BestBuy.
I already posted what the price is in another thread
199.00 upgrade price
200.00 instant savings
150.00 the upgrade savings
total retail at sprint 549.99

Extremely easy. Just call from a phone other than the two you want to swap. They ask you to turn them off and they ask for some number behind the battery.

I'm hoping for some type of release of a off contract price. Seems kind of odd they haven't released it yet. Kind of pisses me off frankly.
so further thinking, instead of paying $549 for the off contract price, i could buy a new phone, switch the numbers, and pay at most $200 fee. So far $400. Then ebay my old evo for circa $200,and that leaves me with a net off contract price of around 200 bucks for a evo 3d, not bad....
somehow i think sprint has thought of this already and has ways to prevent it.
good luck though

well i know i can add another line, sprint will love that
then i know i can cancel my old line, all they can do is charge me the ETF fee, which is only $100 now since im 1 year in. so i'll pay $300 for phone and fees. then sell for 200 ebay leaves me with paying only $100 for a evo 3d and off contract at that.
the only hurdle to leap is sprint easily allowing me to switch my old number to the new evo 3d

Like what? Stop you from adding a new line? Not allowing you to cancel one of your lines? I tried to talk to a rep about upgrading my discount but was unable to do so.
I have preorders number 4 & 5 at my local BB. The anticipation has been excruciating but I haven't even considered NOT having an EVO 3D in hand on launch day (was to be my first launch day device purchase).
I have no upgrade available and was grudgingly prepared to pay the full price of $599 just because I can and I want this phone sooo bad the moment it's available

You never took notice before as to how much best buy prices are off contract? They are always 150 over regular price. They don't make their money from selling the phones outright so they tack on that much money. Not trying to be a **** but you didn't do any research before preordering at best buy?
Last year, I had to get rid of my Hero ASAP so I was willing to buy the EVO full price on launch day so I pre-ordered with BB. I got the confirmation call from BB the day before and said I had to pay $570! WTF?! I told them that the full price for the EVO from Sprint.com was earmarked at $450 and they said they had to pay retail for it so therefore I had to. I cancelled that preorder and got my $50 back!! Your situation is not shocking to me in the very least...sorry to hear that, dude! I'm never buying a phone from anybody but Sprint from now on. I got a $45 credit for signing another contract early, my $150 upgrade available, and another $150 for selling my EVO back to them so I'm getting my 3D for $5! Good luck getting yours, dude!

You mean did I research their historical track record of launch day device prices versus their competion.. pfft.. nope. I figured Sprints full price would set a ceiling market wide.
If they offer to match Sprints price then I might not tell the GM of the store he can eat a d!©k.

They do not price match the of contract price of the phone. Your best bet is to say when you preordered the phone they had it listed for 599 which thy did before. And the research I was talking about was not to launch day prices where but to how much more their full prices are. I was going to buy a Nexus S there but they wanted 700 when Sprint sells them for 550. I bought my wife's eipc from sprint because they only wanted 500 and best buy wanted 650.
RadioShack changed theirs from $599 to $499 untill 6/25 in this weeks ad. I was $499 is their new price even after the weekly ad expires. Thi actally made me want to honor my RS pre order since they decided not to **** the people who signed up with the intenton of getting the 3D for the original price stated.
Best Buy ALWAYS marks their phones up, but $699 for a phone? You got to be kidding me. Id tell best buy they can take the phone and shove it up their ass. Id go in there with the RS ad an printed Amazon ad and ask them why the feel the need to rape people.

I said in another thread that was going to screw people.. Target did the same thing and went from $499 to $599. FYI though, they will price match the Target price of $599 if you hound them. I dont think they'll price match the Radio Shack price of $499 and knock $200 off though. The people at Radio Shack are so confused, the manager at the local store told me they had a meeting with the regional manager yesterday evening and she gave a price of $599 off contract. I pointed out the price of $499 sitting in the ad right on the table in the store and he said they would have to honor that price for anyone that pre-ordered under that premise. I kept the paper just in case.

Best Buy always does this. The fact is they want to discourage off contract purchases because they make more money selling a phone on contract than they do off contract. If I was the OP I'd just order from Amazon at $499 pay no tax and get the free 2 day or in my case $3.99 overnight prime shipping.

This sucks, is this 100% accurate?? I just purchased my GS2 from Best Buy for 149
this is 100% accurate
As an FYI, the Sam's deal may not be out of your reach if you are not a member. Note in the ad the fine print states that it will be available online. They use the same outsourced cell phone seller that many other companies such as best buy RZ use. In other words, it is unlikely they will verify your membership.
Sent my i777 back a week ago and was about to buying an ip4s until I saw these deals. Definitely going back to the i777 for good. Can't wait.

So get it price matched. I got mine at at&t for $199.99...i asked for them to match target @ $99.99..and they did. My 30 days ends early December and after finding out these deals today, i called my at&t store and the just told me that they'll match the radio shack $49.99 and if its true with Sams Club $0.96 deal..they'll even match that.

I got in on Target's $99 deal last week. I also thought about the .96 deal from Sam's Club and wondered if it would be worth the Black Friday hassle to get it. I don't wanna waste 2hours of BF shopping to get the cheaper phone. Unfortunately, Target mobile says that they will not price match any lower prices, even it it happens the day after I buy it.

Wait, you already bought it at 200, called them up about the new cheaper prices, and they gave credit back?

As of right now i have the i777 from at&t @ 99.99. I asked them to credit me back $100 because target offered it for 99.99 and they did. I spoke with at&t again after finding out the new price drops with radio shack and Sams Club. The manager told me to come back on black friday and he'll credit me back the rest. So hopefully my final outcome will be Upgraded w/ at&t @ 199.99 (done) > credited back 100 (done)> credit back to either radio shack or sams club price.

Well, I bought it at 150 bucks, about 190 after taxes and all that, from AT&T. Sounds like I'll be going down there on Black Friday and hope that they offer me the money I gave back..

Unfortunately, I don't think this will work for the phone (per BB website):
What are Perfect Match Promise products?
Products that are defined as Perfect Match Promise products include TVs $899 and up purchased on or after August 7, 2011, and appliances $429 and up purchased on or after August 21, 2011.
Also: The Guarantee does not apply to: Our competitors' website prices, offers that include financing, bundling of items, free items, pricing errors, mail-in offers, competitors' service prices, items that are advertised as limited-quantity, out of stock, open-box, clearance, refurbished/used items, BestBuy.com Midnight Sale and special hour sale events, BestBuy.com Outlet Center and Marketplace items, and items for sale Thanksgiving Day through the Monday after Thanksgiving.
Let us know if you get BB to honor the 60 day price match though.
Do they force plan changes though? A lot of the places I have tried to buy phones from before were trying to force me to double my plans minutes (have an older 800 minute family plan). Well even though there are 5 people on the plan we have a bazillion roll over minutes and need no more minutes. The sole reason I went ahead and bought my phone through amazon is because they didn't touch my plan other than making me add data to the line.
Talked to the phone guy at my Sam's club and he confirmed the $0.97 SGSII . He said they had 38 of them. I'm going to get one but I really hope it's not a huge hassle.
Frys now has the Note for $199 for new and upgrade customers. I just got mine yesterday. I called Best Buy and told them and they said just to go in and show them the ad with the price and they'll price match it. So for those that have waited, I think now is a good time to buy.

If you bought it within 30 days from ATT, call them and they will give you the difference of 100 buck credit on your next bill. Just did it. Make sure you say you were told that you can get it.

Thanks for the tip. I'm currently on the phone with them getting my account credited $100. At first, they suggested that I return the phone and then go get it at Frys, but after I asked to speak to a supervisor and I pointed out how ridiculous it was that they wanted to lose the total sale of the phone instead of just crediting me $100, they went ahead and credited the difference.
Don't be mean, but don't give in. Niceness goes a long way with CSRs. They have to deal with such typically crappy crap all day, every day.
I just came back from Best Buy. Got $100 back on the card I used. Was in and out in 10 minutes. No problems at all. Pretty stoked that I got the Note for $200.
I justed called AT&T and they said they couldn't match fry's price for note and new line. No luck with best buy either because they say store has to be in a 20 mile radius. So for now I'm still note less!
Looks like ill be going back in to BB to get money back! Got mine last week at $299

Yeah Best Buy policy is that the price match has to be within 25 miles.

I would love the $149.99 price, but this is good enough for me.

Yeah. No problem . The $149.99 would have been awesome but I tried 3 different Best Buys and no luck. $199 is still a pretty darn good price for a phone that started at $300 a month or so ago.
Lovin' the Note so far...Barely got it yesterday. I came from owning a Dell Streak for over a year now and my goodness this phone just blows the Streak away. I don't think I'm going back to owning a "regular" sized phone any time soon.
Well crap I bought mine at fry's 3 days ago for $230. That was last weeks ad. You don't think they would match this weeks ad with last weeks do you?

You should try calling again. AT&T will do it. If the first person says they can't, ask to talk to their supervisor.
The Frys ad is for upgrades, too.

That's exactly what happened to me. I price matched last weeks ad that ended yesterday which was $230 and went back today to price match it again. And I just got the phone yesterday.
I just did the $239.00 price match at BB yesterday due to the Fry's ad. Now heading back to BB with the new Fry's ad to get price match to $199.00. I originally bought the Note from BB and had signed up for the BB offer a while back to get $50.00 credit if I bought a new phone from them. Now, my note only cost me $149.00. Not bad.

In stores you can have them apply all credits towards the phones cost instead of opting for the vzw visa credits..

I'm in! I purchased mine yesterday, online. They dropped the retail price by $100 which brought the Edge price down accordingly. I did not have a phone to trade in, as that would have given me another "up to" $300 bill credit.
(I did take advantage of that particular promo for my wife, however. I upgraded her HTC M8 to a Droid Turbo 2 64GB that she got to customize. VZW gave me $200 for her M8, so I took it. The Droid Turbo 2 was also $100 off).
They are set to be delivered to me Monday. Looking forward to playing with my V10 in the coming days and I will hit the LG holiday rebate page as soon as I get my IMEI.

Nice grats at least someone has taken advantage of the deal. I would have taken the deal too if I didn't already get what I wanted outta the TMO deal.
Edit. They didnt give or offer you the full -$200 black friday deal? Perhaps you can call in. I hear verizon cs is supposed to be good.. After handing in two rather decent phone both for total $300 credit doesnt sound fair. According to the thread, but those people might be just talking trash.
I got $100 off the retail price plus $100 from LG but my Note Edge I turned in on upgrade. My wife got $200 for her M8 plus $100 off retail like me. Was there more that I missed? If so Verizon is pretty good about things like that.

Not sure thought there was more for actual black friday, but looks like you got great deal(s)?
I picked up mine this weekend. Paid $114.40 for the down payment, $53.76 for the tax, got $300 trade in for a $30 phone, and still owe $157.60. Already submitted the documents for the $100 credit as well so I'm happy with the purchase so far. It all adds up, incase anyone wanted to avoid doing the math.
So in case anyone is wondering, they will take any working phone and still give you the $300
http://i.imgur.com/JnFc6FS.jpg
I got this phone for $30 on black Friday.
The main issue was having to get a new line of service. I'm OK with a new number, but for anyone wanting to keep theirs all you need to do is pay $20 to port it into Google voice. Once you have it in your Google account,you should be able to port it back to Verizon to replace the "new number" without any problem . The whole porting process might take a few days, but if you want the discounts and keep your number this seems like a decent option.

See above quote? That's what people were getting, so it was strange you had to turn in two really pricey phones to get $300, when others got the full $300 for under $100 phones. Also on Black Friday they gave you -$200 instead of -$100.
Has anyone received their gift card from the promotion in the OP? I called today and they are strict on reviewing claim submissions in order received, unlike the promotion for the microSD & battery bundle.

I somehow ended up walking out of the verizon store with one last Friday the 4th. :silly:
I just went to dreamily check out a Turbo2 and a V10.
Verizon gave me $300 for a extra working rezzie that I got off eBay (a must read http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-rezound/general/worst-phone-ive-t2827048) a month ago for $20. They also knocked $100 off the v10's $672 price. Bringing the price down to $272. They only required 90 days of carrier service instead of the advertised 2year contract deal requirement. I paid the $272 and went home.
The next day I googled "v10 promos" and BAM I got this link!! http://www.lg.com/us/promotions/mobile-deals#carriers-verizon
There are 2 currently valid promos on that page. Be sure page loads fully before scrolling and scroll all the way down.
That brought the V10 down to $172 for me with only a 90day "contract" requirement with Verizon and Plus a free shiny new 64gb sd card, spare 3000mah battery with a standalone charger OTW to me. :laugh:
Rofl but yet I still am wondering if I should have went with the Turbo2 instead
...if I never had gotten that "broken" old rezzie off of eBay last month...I know that I would of never had gotten so interested in learning about the latest and greatest that's out there now and the deals.
Lmao that old rezzie managed to land me something I thought I could not have anytime soon <3 yet it co$ted me some while it saved me bunches :laugh:

Yeah I'd look more into that. I work for Verizon and that info is not correct. If you leave after 90 days you will be charged the balance on the phone. After your line access discount you technically pay that but there is an agrreemt for 600$+ on the phone. The 90 days is just so the rep doesn't get charged back on the sale.

I received the $300 gift card for my trade-in in my email faster than I got home on the day I purchased. The following day I applied it to my new phone which paid it off.

When I bought mine, I was told I had to stay for a year in order for the deal, and trade in credits to apply, otherwise I would have been charged the balance of the phone. I don't plan on leaving, but technically I could... cancel this line>open a new one to get the $300 credit +$100 off instant and more gift cards? Could potentially land a Turbo 2 for next to nothing if that's the case.
