Just wanted to give you guys the heads up in case you wanted to save some cash.

Just click on either "new customer" or "add a line" then search for the Galaxy S II, add your voice/data plan and checkout and you will see a 50% off promo applied ($99 off) + the activation fee is waived + free overnight shipping.
This deal doesn't work for upgrades so this seems like just for new customers and those that want to add a new line to their family plan. For upgrades you would want to go through Amazon Wireless for the best price $150 tax free.
Hope this helps someone
How long will this last? This is the cheapest I have seen. Thank you for the link!

Your welcome. Happy to help
Thats the thing I'm not really sure how long it lasts
The article that I found this from is http://www.logicbuy.com/deals/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-smartphone/34417.aspx which says that the free activation ($35 value) ends on 10/3 but doesn't say anything about when the 50% off coupon ends...
AT&T usually has those 50% off coupons available most of the time. If this one gets disable you can just chat with a sales representative and they will give you a link to the newest coupon(s). Also, I doubt the iPhone 5 will do anything to the coupon(s) since these don't work with iPhones and some other few phones.
this is a great deal..thanks!!!!
Thank you for the info! Just added a line for my dad and now I have a GSII shipping to me by Tuesday
Its not coming up for me for $99 it shows $199. Any advice?

I just tried the above link again, and it still has 50% off for me.. maybe clear your browse cache, and make sure you pick all the plans, and add to cart. The discounted price should show up when you check out.
says 199.99 for me also...
I see you need both a voice and data plan when buying the Galaxy s ii. My question is: will the senior Nation 200 plan (for 65+ customers - not sure of the name of the plan) qualify as the voice plan or does to have to be a $39 and up plan? Thank you
They cancelled my order without any warning. I tried doing it again and it says it does not apply Looks like they caught on.

so the link will let you order, but will cancel it later? hmm.. I haven't go through with it yet, since I'm waiting for my Sprint contract to clear up.. I was hoping they would fix it before the day end, so I can use the above link to order.. but, if there's a problem, then maybe we need to find another way to order it.

They hate me 'cause I'm a Premier business account. This time, I registered for a brand new line and hopefully it will come around. Then I can just combine the lines with my current FamilyTalk and it should be okay.
ahh, gotcha. I went ahead and placed the order with the above link. There are no more free activation and no more over night shipping (2-day shipping instead), but I still got the 50% off for the phone.. overall, pretty good deal!
Btw, this deal still exist until 10/7, but you have to pay activation, and it's 2-day shipping now.
Still works as it's available until 10/7. You have to place the order rather quickly to keep the discount active. If you leave it for a few minutes - it will become invalid and you will have to start the order all over again. Fortunately when I did it again it was already in the shopping cart as I clicked on the link by the OP.
I saved a hundred bucks by going this route than going in the store. Sure, it's nice to get a number of your own choosing and having the phone right away when you buy it in the store, but saving a Benjamin is a no-brainer, period.
was going to add another line with this, but I don't get the $99 price at checkout.

My T-bolt was pre-ordered with wirefly shortly after midnight pst.
Anyone else go this route? I should have it Friday, fingers crossed!
Mine is as well, gotta love not having to pay state tax at best buy!
Funny thing, I didn't even know wirefly was preordering tonite. I just happened to return my giftcard from the preorder at bestbuy.
I hope you all used fatwallet to get an additional $25 cashback. There is a coupon for a Transcend 4GB MicroSD Card & Mini & Standard Adapters.
So instead of Besbuy and its $300, it is 175 from wirefly thanks to fatwallet. I actually didn't remember at first, so I had to cancel my first order and redo it with fatwallet.
I ordered as well, i hope the standard fedex shipping gets here before monday
I don't even see it on the site? Did they pull it off?
EDIT: NM, it suddenly appeared. If I do this pre order, it's not going to mess w/my plan, right? I've got that 69.99/month for 450 minutes, unlimited data and 5 friends/family.
We don't know VZW pricing yet, do we?

By any chance is that $199 price to extend your contract for upgrades only or are they doing special promotional pricing for anyone who extends their contract?

Question for you .... how do you like your rooted Nook Color? IDK why but I was thinking of getting one and rooting it (just because I can and I was dying for a new toy, but the TBolt may satisfy that lol). Not sure what I'd do with it though.

What I'm afraid of is losing the $20 credit I get every month for the "special" plan that I'm on (that's the one that expired on 1/31 and was "only" available to special people). It's $59.99 (+) 29.99 (-) $20 = 69.98 for unlimited data, text, 450 minutes PLUS 5 friends and family (usually you only get that on 900+ minute plans). It wants me to add a plan to my cart and of course THAT plan isn't available. ~sigh~
I think I'm going to HAVE to get it from VZW so I can save the $30 w/my final NE2 discount. I wonder if VZW will have a $50 "visa" rebate to get the price down. I did the pre-order w/BB and have that $50 GC but they won't do the NE2 credit, I've asked several times. Coulda returned the BB card I guess, but I'll end up using it, I do shop there upon occasion :-D
Don't know if Wirefly has improved their activation process but I remember when the Incredible first came out, a bunch of people purchased from them because it was cheaper and they had issues with shipment, activation, and customer service. If I recall correctly there were people unable to activate their phones for almost a week. Just an fyi.......

Hey guys, just saw this ad, att is selling all phone, including the note today for 50% off.
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/de...are&siteId=dZCX6Je2w8Q-sBG3oO9zQ5oOdYyuLQ44IA
Try the link out, and add the phone, plan and data plan to your cart. Once completed, go to checkout to see the 50% discount for $150!
I just called them up, and they WILL honor the $150 price!! Apparently after 5 days a 50% price drop is not bad!
You have to call and ask for it. I called 611, got transfered around a bit and finally got it approved!
If you ordered thru premier, call 866-499-8008
Hope this helps you guys! I know this just made my day!!!

Damn, I bought mine at BB for $250. I wonder if it's worth the hassle of returning it and buying one from ATT to save $100.
and your base rate on ATT HAS to be at least $40 (fine print), I tried it on an add-a-line at $9.99 and it wouldn't let me
is this only for a new account?
You have to be a new or an add a line customer.... Upgrades are not eligible :-(

I already have a line. I called AT&T to see if they would refund the differnece between the $300 I paid and this offer but they will not.
Am I missing something?
well this sucks, because there was a 50% off link posted in the other thread, but wouldnt work with the note,contacted the online help and said it was 50% off for any phone except iphones and the note
(i am a new customer)
What is going on here today? Just click the link, the text could not be any more clear at the top:

except for this.
Read the bottom too
Does NOT work for upgrade.
Just to verify. I called and tried as hard as possible and spoke with the manager but they will not honor this price if you got the phone as an upgrade. This ONLY applies to new customers or new lines.
I highly suggest the OP or a MOD updates the title to reflect this info, so that it is not misleading to anyone.
Does one need premiere account or reg account for this?
So I take it that you would have had to order online as well. I went into a corporate store 20 days ago picked the skyrocket and then when note was released paid the difference. It would be awesome to actually get 50 dollars back from skyrocket purchase LOL. I am a new customer as well.

Wouldn't give refund, but did put $150 on my account...Hope it works for you guys...If It does, just hit the thanks button...
Just received $150.00 credit on bill. My GNOTE was an initial early preorder/upgraded contract.
Premiere Business Acct
The goal here is to NOT have agents run around looking for answers on how to go about. YOUR CHANCES ARE 10X BETTER if you request nicely to even accept a credit on your acct for a $150.00
Reason Being; Agents mostly have the power to do that instanty.
Also marks an easy, instant customer satisfaction score call.
STEER them to ATG&T.com
Let them know the phone is offerred for 50% off. Its tyhe first phone featured clearly on the sales page.
You will get a run around. I was transferred about 4x.
Until one agent said no prob.
Good Luck!
Where is the link to this page?
Did you call Premier or Business Care (611)?
Yes ..I contacted Premeir as they are the ones who ordered the phone for me.
Throw that option out foremost when speaking to an agent; about credit your bill.
Make it light & easy for them. You will indeed get it done along the line somewhere.
Premier DEFINETLY has all the power to instanly issue an immediate credit!

Discounted price shows up after you 'add to cart'
I just did the same, my upgrade was pre ordered through Premier online on 2/5/12.
Called 611, told them about my recent purchase and obvious disappointment in the rapid price drop of my new device - and that I'd like a credit to reflect the difference. They asked what I paid, how much it's selling for on AT&T.com and proceeded to issue a "one time only exception" credit to my account. Done deal, had to be on silent hold for a bit and the CSR confirmed the credit was applied to my account...$155 positive credit on my account since they were nice enough to credit me the tax =P
All worth it for a $150 Galaxy Note!
This does not apply to upgrades they said, it is only if you added a line or opened a new line. I guess being a loyal customer for so many years means nothing if you are not new business.
help! quickly!
I'm trying to get a 150 credit, but theyre saying that since i bought it in the store, i would have to return it to the best buy and then go online and buy it at the discounted price.
im telling them that i ported my number over from sprint and what would i do with my number if i brought the phone back but shes saying that theres nothing she can do!!!....
im asking for a superviser.. can somone help..
I too got the $150 credit but in a different way. I upgraded and have a premier acct.
I did not call but rather went to the local ATT store. I had my original G-Note invoice and a copy of the ATT checkout shopping cart showing the 50% discount on a new order for a G-Note. I indicated that this wasn't right after less than 1 week and that I really didn't want the hassle of returning the phone and ordering a replacement at the discounted price.
I was very nice throughout and even commiserated with the woman helping me because she was shuttled around to 4 different parties within the internal ATT web order service center over a 20 minute period.
Eventually she just got her manager who explained to me that they were not going to be able to get it resolved with the on-line folks and simply issued my account a $150 credit.

That's what I'm worried is going to happen if I try
I got a $75 credit for not getting my Note on time. I will stay happy with that and not get greedy. $225 for the Galaxy Note is still a great deal, seeing as I paid $249 for my SkyRocket.
But good luck to those who try getting this credit

I just called att the second time today and WOW! $250 credit from my sky rocket and note! Although the rep said it needs to be approved since it was a big credit refund and takes about 4-5 business days before it reflects my account. Hopefully I will get my refund back. Btw, premiere account here also, both phones are upgrade.

Simple and painless $150.00 credit!
Wow this worked for me right away without hiccups. Around a 10 minute phone call with ATT CSR (nice lady). I just told her that I purchased the Note 2-days ago for 299.99 and today I've seen the 50% promo that drops the price to 149.99, and If if I can receive a credit for the difference. She said "please hold on sir", came back and advised me that she can issue a one-time credit for 150.00 back to my account with no questions asked and without confirming I had actually purchased the Note, at all! I actually purchased through AmazonWireless (they refused any price matching or adjustments unless the price drops on their site in the near future).
I was not being stern or sounding angry. Just professional.
I am premier and the phone was an upgrade through Amazon Wireless @$249.95
I dialed 611 and got connected to Enterprise CSR without any transfer to other CSR's!
Thanks to OP for this advise! And am happy with my SGN (ceramic white) for $100 plus 2-year extended contract of course and additional 181 day EFT @Amazon Wireless

I called 611 the other day to see if they could match a different 50% offer that was found online...they quickly said no because it was a promo for add a line or new customers. Quick history lesson, i bought an infuse last year under upgrade, its been replaced 5 times. I got real fed up and told them I'd cancel unless they replaced it with a different device, they said they could not do that but they would however allow my 2nd line to upgrade some 8 months early. I called 611 a few days ago to get everything in order when they told me because of my situation i need to upgrade that line directly thru them which meant i couldnt purchace at my local retail store (drag) so today i called 611 to place my order and i referenced this new 50% deal, he said i most likely wouldn't qualify...i said whatever that's fine. As we were about to close the deal over the phone he told me that he can't process the upgrade cuz his system is under maintenance and to call back tomorrow. I called back in 5 minutes and started over. I again mentioned the promo than they transferred me to premier. The lady had no problem giving me the 50% off plus free priority shipping plus free activation. Had i ordered yesterday or even earlier today when the first dude had system problems i would have paid 299+15 shipping and 30 activation fee, i ended up paying $157 all said in done. Pretty nice savings if you ask me. :thumbup:

Just Pre-ordered EVO LTE from Wirefly (Upgrade Price) for $139
Was $119, sorry ladies & gents, deal was limited time only.
I started a thread in the OG EVO forum before this forum existed, thought I would pass this along to the XDA community.
I have used Wirefly before, I was very happy with them, so they will continue to get my business.

Just a friendly warning, the sale seems to be linked to specific zip codes. The link in the OP is setup for Garfield NJ, 07026 and the one I actually used was for Spring TX. If I updated the zip to my real zip code, the sale price is $149. Their system will also AUTOMATICALLY make your City, State, zip that of which the link takes you to.
Now I placed my order, realized the address issue and will contacted them tomorrow to modify my address. Not sure if that will effect the price I pay BUT one thing is for sure, its not going to cost me $217 either way.
I'll update here after I get the address corrected and confirm my price after. I figure I'll give it a day in their system to get to stick and then update the address.
I ordered yesterday for $149.99
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
It should be noted that there is a $37 activation fee from Sprint.
I changed the zipcode to mine (here in chicago) and it kept the $119.99 price. And yes, there is a $36 activation fee, but this is still cheaper than $150 if you figure in the $10 google wallet credit...
$119.99
$36
-$10
-----------
$145.99
Not bad at all. Not the $10 I paid for my evo a few days before christmas (price match + rebate), but flipping that, I should net under $50 or less for the whole thing.
EVO for $99.99 if you have Bank of America
Log into your bofa account and click on the add it up link. click on cell phone deals and bofa will credit your account $50 if you buy using their link. I tried getting the $119.99-$50 add it up, but it won't work.
One or the other.
By the way, to get the $119.99 deal, do a google search for "wirefly friends and family" and click on the first non-ad link.
So to summarize, $119.99 if you don't have bofa
or
$99.99 if you have bofa using the add it up link.

I wouldn't see why they would, if you are worried activate it on the line you used to upgrade, then switch the phone over to the line you want it on.

How will they know? You don't activate through them. You buy from them, tell them it's for the upgradable line, then when you get it, you activate through Sprint and have them so the switch. Wirefly is out of the picture once you have the device.

Why is there an activation charge?
How is this any different than buying a phone off of Craigslist and getting it activated?
Edit:
Does Sprint charge $37 activation even if you get it from them anyway?
(If so, then this isn't an issue. Gotta pay it either way, right?)

Because you need to "activate" it on the carrier and it's no different, you would be paying the same charge no matter where you get the phone. Now, the activation fee did double but that puts Sprint in line with the other carrier's activation/upgrade fees and adds more cash to the "fix the network" pot.
*Activation is $36

I had this same intention. I called Wirefly and they do NOT let you use another line's upgrade for your own (idk why thats what he said). You would have to swap the upgradeable line with yours like others have said. Part of the reason is because their policy is to activate it themselves (I asked them if they could hold off on the activation, the guy said no) so its running by the time it gets in your hands

Just a friendly warning, the sale seems to be linked to specific zip codes. The link in the OP is setup for Garfield NJ, 07026 and the one I actually used was for Spring TX. If I updated the zip to my real zip code, the sale price is $149. Their system will also AUTOMATICALLY make your City, State, zip that of which the link takes you to.
Now I placed my order, realized the address issue and will contacted them tomorrow to modify my address. Not sure if that will effect the price I pay BUT one thing is for sure, its not going to cost me $217 either way.
I'll update here after I get the address corrected and confirm my price after. I figure I'll give it a day in their system to get to stick and then update the address.

Just wanted to check back in and confirm that I did call and update the address for shipping and everything is right on track, price is set at $119.
Now just hoping we do get ours before the 18th but if not, so what, this was a great deal.

This doesn't entirely make sense. If you're upgrading, that would mean your existing device stops functioning when they activate the new one. This is obviously not acceptable. I'm quite confident you actually have to call in and activate it once you receive the device. THEN your old device stops functioning. Now if you're buying a new line of service then it may arrive activated (though past purchases from amazon for tmobile did require activation AFTER receipt of device).
ymmv.
Wirefly has a ad on its front Page saying free activation wheb adding a line or doing a new activation.
Food for thought to make it a even better deal...

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.
