His signature says he has a note. So good assumption.
However.... I never used that option anyway. Although credit cards are interest free as long as you pay for what you buy within that billing cycle and have no debt on it when a new billing cycle begins

FYI, you should only use credit cards when purchasing online. CC have more consumer protections built-in, for starters. Plus if someone gets hold of your debit card info you'll be out CASH and not just a credit balance for up to a month. Think of all the checks you could bounce. And you'll be w/o the card itself for up to 2 weeks while they take their time getting you one with a new account number.
Just went through this on a credit card that had nearly $1000 in fraudulent charges - and since I knew this info ahead of time it was little more than a big annoyance instead of a huge problem.
This would happen to me when flashing different roms, what worked before was to uninstall the updates to the market, force close it, clear data, then reboot with wifi off. Typically this would bring the option back. Since google play came however this stopped working for me which sucks, since working for AT&T they give me a hundred dollar allowance each month. If I find a new fix I'll post it here.

Wait, you both have me VERY confused.. 450 mins/month = 39.95 Unlimited text / 2 gig data = 40.00 + taxes = around 100.00 (I have mobile insurance @ 4.99 as well) My bill ends up being 112.95 per month taxes and all... How are you guys paying 40 / 35 for text / data / voice?

I heard someone say there are pre orders, is this true? If so, anyone got a direct link? I can't seem to find it.
Or do you have to actually physically be at the store? If so, that's pretty lame, I'd prefer doing everything online and getting mailed the phone.
Danke
you are going to want to call your sprint store and ask. It still seems to be a store by store case, but YES many stores are taking pre orders. Sprint just hasn't announced it yet.
+1 on Stores or Districts....
My Store is not taking Pre-orders......nor are any others on the island.
Bastards...
I just preordered mine. The guy at the front of the store told me no, so I started playing with the nexus s and the evo 4g. Another rep walked over and I said I came in to preorder the 3d but no dice. He said "yes we are". Sure enough they were. I told him someone may want to let the guy in the front of the store know that. Gotta love customer service . Now I just need a flipping release date.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA Premium App
Pre-ordered as well. I would say you will have to go in, just because of the $50 GC they give you. Always worth a shot calling though. The one thing I am keeping an eye on is Amazon. They seem to be selling phones pretty cheap. The Nexus 4G is priced at $99 or was yesterday and the Thunderbolt was like $80 cheaper than stores plus no sales tax and should be free shipping. I know it will be hard for me to wait on the phone but $100 difference will be hard as well.
Got my preorder yesterday

ATT came out with their family share plans today...pretty sweet for those of use who use alot of data or ESPECIALLY those who have ghost lines. It is a base price for the amount of data, all plans automatically have unlimited talk and text. You pay per data package depending on what you think you and whoever is on your plan would need and then a price for each smart phone. For example:
(these are made up but show what it will look like)
4GB=90 plus a &20 charge for each smartphone...its like verizons pretty much...
so a person with four lines and only two smartphones is only looking at a $130+tax charge a month instead of $180...good stuff from at&t
should save people money
Posted this in xda general but wanted to share with my note peeps too :laugh::laugh::good: <3
If I remember correctly its more then 20 to add a smart phone. I think it was more like 40 - 35 depending on which plan you chose. It went down the higher the plan you choose. Unfortunately, won't be saving any money for my situation.

Alright, my wife and I have an older plan still. I have the Note and she has the Iphone 4s. Right now are monthly bill (if there are no extras) is about $123 a month. That's 700 minutes/200 text each/250mb data each. We've had AT&T for a while so we have some old options.
I'd like to have unlimted text and higher data (1GB would be plenty for me), so in the end is it worth updating to this shared package? I think the basic package ends up being 130+tax? Am I correct?
With a gig to share and two smart phones with unlimited text and call we are looking at 130$ which isn't bad because you get lot more out of it for $7

whats a "ghost line"?
I dont understand the prices. Some places say that the additional cost for smart phones is for the 2nd+ phone on the plan, but some places it says each smart phone.
If its 30 for each phone, going for the 10gb plan with 2 smart phones would put me at $180 before taxes. I currently spend $180~ for a 2gb and unlimited data plans.
If its 30 for the 2nd phone then I could actually save money since I rarely go over 4-5gb these days and my wife uses almost nothing. I could even add my ipad2 and only spend $160 per month. I dont know if I want to give up my unlimited tho.

Thanks for the heads up!!!
Sounds cool... I called AT&T after reading this to verify to what I saw on their site HERE and I was told late August this should be available. Currently I pay $302 for 5 smart phones on AT&T with the family plan with limited minutes. With this new plan I will be able to save another $20 a month and not have to share minutes at all. The down side is that I would have a lower limit on my data. I now have 3GB per line and the plan that would help me is the $120 plan that allows us all to share 10GB which is 2GB a piece on average. But I'm sure that will be ok though.
I am disappointed. I have a wife and a teenage daughter. Was hoping the share plan would be a little more reasonable to get the daughter and the wife some more data. Not swaying me from giving up my unlimited plan though.

So you pay an extra $10 for each phone and maintain 2 data plans just to sell 2 extra smart phones per year?
Thats $60 per month more ($660 per year) and then $200-300 per upgrade so essentially you buying an extra 2 smart phones per year for $530-630 each and reselling them?
This doesnt make sense unless your able to use 2 dumb phones in their place to eliminate the data plans. Does AT&T allow that?
I've been searching for the lowest prices for the HTC DNA and stumbled upon this deal and figured I'd share it with you guys.
The HTC DNA for only $119.99... probably the best deal out there right now.
If you use coupon code TALK4TEN it MIGHT lower the price to $99.99, but it didn't work for me. Anyways, I figured it would maybe be worth a shot for you since it has worked for many other people... but it MAY have expired.

I know it sounds crazy and I have no idea why they aren't advertising the heck out of it, but I have attached a pic of my receipt... Its the real deal.

Thanks, I checked with my local hhgregg (Tampa, FL), and they do have the Droid DNA in their system for $1.00 for a new contract (didn't ask about upgrade price since I'd be a new VZW customer). They don't have any in stock, but my gf and I will be ordering 2 as soon as we can both make it to the store (hopefully this evening). The associate said there wasn't an end date to the price in their system, so it may be expire with this week's sale on Saturday, or it may end sooner/later...who knows.

Thanks, I checked with my local hhgregg (Tampa, FL), and they do have the Droid DNA in their system for $1.00 for a new contract (didn't ask about upgrade price since I'd be a new VZW customer). They don't have any in stock, but my gf and I will be ordering 2 as soon as we can both make it to the store (hopefully this evening). The associate said there wasn't an end date to the price in their system, so it may be expire with this week's sale on Saturday, or it may end sooner/later...who knows.

I was told the same thing about it not being in stock, but I ordered it on a Thursday (1/3) and had it on the following Tuesday (1/8). Hopefully you get the same turnaround time.
This price has been going on since at least 12/28 which was when I first inquired, so hopefully it continues for those that are looking to pick one up.
Great now I only have to save up $400 for my security deposit lmao. Hhgregg would charge the same deposit as Verizon no?

hhgregg wouldn't "charge it" per say.... meaning Verizon would get the money, but yeah unfortunately they wouldn't be able to bypass Verizon's security deposit requirements.
But hey at least it would only cost $401 instead of $599 for the deposit and the phone... lol.
I took the $200 that I would have spent on the phone and instead bought the 2 year protection plan. The plan covers way more stuff than Verizon's, there's no deductible, and it works out to less than $10 a month.
Just thought I'd share.
Thanks a TON hope this price stays!

My girlfriend was told she needed to put up a $400 deposit for the 2 phones, despite never having VZW service or any credit issues. Lame.
Same here even though I have poor credit, I just tink $400 is excessive. I wonder if they'd budge at all?

It's up to VZW, and it's doubtful that they'll budge.
The insurance company is offering me a galaxy s 3 as a replacement for my damage note.... Would you take it?
They didn't have anymore note so I said no because I had a bigger screen and stylus... Now they going to check somewhere else and call me back. Am afraid they will come back with a refurbished note.

Hell no, if they don't have a note demand a note 2. tell them you demand equal or better and will not settle for less, and make your key arguments s-pen support and screen size , of they say no remind them AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!!!

Refurbished isn't rebuilt. I've had refurbs that were brand new other than the box being opened on numerous occasions. Refurbished just means its tested and inspected as a 100% working device.

I know the S3 is technically a better phone, but I actually use the S-Pen. I also read a lot of comics on my Note, so even half an inch more screen is awesome.

My girlfriend has the S3 and I have the note. I like the S3 and it's pretty zippy stock but I don't think I could part with my note's screen size and with the devs here, my phone is operates just as fast as hers. Also:

Agreed, I don't have it on my phone, but I have it on some hardware in my truck due to the heat and for the cost it's silly not to get it

I would trade my s3 and my note for a note 2 but can't find any takers on our local barter site.
the note 2 is amazing
I read on reddit this guy who works for a phone company describing the process of refurbished phones. In actuality they are heavily tested to work 100% like new with new parts and most of the time it's a cracked screen. They work more properly than a brand new phone because a new phone isn't tested by an individual. Additionally, you will run into less problems. In all respects though, as good as our developers are- the gs3 is a sexy piece of hardware I'd take it in a heartbeat. Plus the cases.... Ohhhh the cases...

Edit 4/11/14: It appears we have a case of ill informed customer service employees or they implemented the feature at the last minute. Tap to pay is confirmed to work with Google Wallet. Thanks everyone for the confirmation.
Not sure how many of you use Google Wallet or would like to, but it appears T-Mobile has once again removed Google Wallet Tap to Pay through NFC functionality. This is a real shame since Kitkat was supposed to make it easier to get around the carriers secure element restrictions. It appears that T-Mobile has disabled Tap to Pay for Google Wallet due to ISIS (failure) once again. I got confirmation from T-Mobile support from a couple channels stating such.
If anyone is interested in using it, may not be a bad idea to tweet @JohnLegere and @Tmobile about your disgust of being anti-competitive and in my opinion very uncharacteristic of the "Uncarrier" movement.
Yeah I think it was part of the agreement when they started working with isis

That may be true, buy they do sell the Nexus 5 in stores that is completely capable of the feature. Yeah, I understand that they are probably under agreement with Google not to tamper with the software on Nexus devices, but it also proves the point that they CAN sell devices in store that support Google Wallet, they just opt not to do so and cater to ISIS. In my opinion, this is anti-competitive and should be stopped. (Long time coming)
What is ISIS?
I don't use GW often, but enough that I'd miss it.

GW Tap-to-Pay set up just fine for me, though ISIS didn't. Not that I want to use ISIS anyways (got an offer for free Jamba Juice for a month, figured what better time to finally try Jamba Juice). Haven't tested it yet, but from what I can see it looks perfectly fine.

I was able to install it without any errors, so it appears to be working. But I have not used it to pay for anything yet.
Just got my S5 this morning and after a quick System update I have tap to pay Enable ! This is awesome!

What exactly did the system update do? I've been afraid to update it in case it locks something down on the phone.

Hi all. Same for me. Loaded up Google wallet and the S5 recognized it as the primary tap and pay service. Haven't tried yet tho, maybe I'll get some ice cream at Rite Aid and try out GW there...

Wait, are you sure? Google Wallet was pre-installed on my GS5. A few minutes after buying mine I went through a gas station and used tap to pay to buy some iced tea.
My Wallet was on stock device as well... Just rooted and tested everything... Work perfect. And the DL booster is super Rad! Loving the S5!

All you have to know ISIS (touch payment system) is a major flop. In addition, it shan't work with rooted phones. Moreover, you're charged for transaction fee (Google Wallet doesn't charge).
Exactly. Works fine for me. All it needed was an update of Google play services

Isis doesn't have fees. The main difference is that unless you have one of a few credit cards from specific banks you have to use a prepaid Amex Serve card. This means with Isis you have to remember to load money onto the Serve card while Google Wallet uses a virtual debit card and then charges your linked card so you don't have to load money in advance.
