Anyone found any good deals buying full retail? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I was just wondering if anyone knew of or has seen any good deals on full retail pricing for the note 2?, I know there is always CL,swappa and other phone forums. But I was just wondering if any stores ever run specials or anywhere online?
I am looking at paying full retail, but if I could save 50 or 100 I would like to.
I heard something about maybe in April the retail price could drop?

You're always going to have a hard time finding deals on non-contract prices. Carriers aren't going to reduce their price because it takes away from their subsidized pricing and makes it seem like less of a deal. For instance, Verizon's site lists the GS3 at $699 off contract, it's been that price since it's release last summer.

Swappa.com

That is where I purchased both my s3 as well as n2

You el get the best deal on Craig list. .. especially if you know how to haggle

Swappa is pretty good. It's a little safer than Craigslist. Prices are more accurate than ebay.

Unfortunately there hasn't been many note 2's on CL in my area, a few around christmas but other than that none. But I have seen a few on swappa that I am interested in. I also checked celltraderonline but it looks like a lot of the deals on there are from what I called the "power buyers" that used to be on here until the marketplace closed. So needless to say many of those guys do several deals with each other, and they have a lot of extra money to throw around, so I don't see a good deal for me over there. (one guy I remember on here bought 90% of the iphone 5's that were posted here, I know of 4 he bought for around $800 ea)
But one thing that is kind of odd is I got a call from my parents wondering if they could be added to my VZW account (they have sprint and well, sprint is sprint) and their contracts are up in April. They said they don't need "fancy phones", so if VZW will allow me to add lines to my account I could give on of them my rezound and get their subsidized priced phones (note 2 for $300).
I have no clue if verizon will allow me to add a line to my unlimited plan though.....I know I can't add lines and get unlimited on those phones, but maybe I can get on the old family plans?

Well here's a little update, my parents called me and said they are going to Verizon from sprint and if I wanted they would give my and I their subsidized phones. So it looks like my wife will get her iPhone 5 and I will get my note 2, hopefully for around $500.

I've been shopping around, and the best price I've seen thus far is $699.99 at Verizon corporate. My plan would be to get Best Buy to price match it, then put it on my credit card with 18 months same as cash financing.

Worth every cent and then some to keep it though.

if you are on a family plan, you can add lines with 2gb of data. It will cost about 40 a line to add (9.99 line fee and 30 for 2gb of data). If you are not on a family plan, I don't think they will let you keep unlimited when switching to it.

You can take a old verzion dumb phone in. Activate a share line with no features. Use the new activation price on the note 2 and throw it on your main line. Drawback is your locked in at 10 dollars a month for two years for the new share line.

How long until Amazon Wireless prices the Galaxy S II at $0.01 w/ 2 yr contract?

I know I know I'm crazy right?
But Amazon has a history of dropping prices like crazy every couple of months on Android phones.
Look at the droid bionic... it already has been dropped $170 off the retail subsidized price by Amazon a mere month after it was release
And of course we also have black friday/cyber monday sales coming up soon
Not looking for an exact answers, just interested in your opinion on how many months you think it will take before the Amazon price drop to $0.01 w/ a two year contract?
Btw anyone else holding out for the Amazon price drop?
unfortunately for 1-3 months I believe that this phone may be one of the best on the market, without much competition until other phones are released. Retailers are likely to capitalize on this.
I got mine from Amazon Wireless for $149 out the door with 2 year contract.
Would have been over $200 directly from AT&T.
Don't know about Amazon, but I got mine for 50% off last Tuesday (online, with free activation, and free next day shipping). It was $99 per phone with new 2yr contract.
If I have to guess, maybe in 1yr it may be .01?
SEE WHAT I MEAN GUYS?!?!?
A mere month since it's release date and Amazon Wireless has already dropped the $300 Droid Bionic down to FREE http://wireless.amazon.com/dp/B005IQOFW0
Makes me wonder just how quick the Att Galaxy S II will get the same treatment... it has to right? Especially considering that it sells for $100 less than the Bionic and the Bionic has only been out a month with a $300 price drop.
Cant wait boys, cant wait
I bought my last phone for $0.01 on Amazon. Great deal at the time. Unfortunately I payed $240 plus $40 activation for this one.

My question, I still have two weeks to return to Best Buy before my 30 days are up, will Best Buy cut me a deal based on this?
Or, more importantly, will Amazon honor my unlimited data grandfathered in if I upgrade through them?
Well damn I just did an upgrade last week with Amazon wireless on the at&t galaxy s2 for 220$ i'm wondering can I get it for 1 cent and have the rest of money added back to my card?

If not, then send it back and have them credit you... then do the upgrade for a penny.
The penny deal is for new contract and line only. Can't do upgrade for a penny.

Good catch. You probably saved some people a lot of hassle for nothing.

Getting note today buy no commitment or early upgrade.

OK here's the deal. I am currently phone-less being I sold my GS2 in wake of the note. Now I have two upgrades due in May. My GF also wants a Note and she said she is more than happy with waiting. Me, I tried but I can't lol. Being smart phone less sucks. Not fun bringing my new Transformer Prime around and hoping for wif lol. So here are my options.
One of the upgrades is deff going to my GF. So that leaves one. I figured I could buy the note today for $650 and instead if paying early upgrade price of $550 saving my May upgrade for future phones like a SG3 or whatever. Or better yet I could buy a Note for $300 "full upgrade price" in May and eBay it and make some profit. I have went to all local ATT stores asking to upgrade early, but no go. Even tried customer service. Last year I got my GF a iPhone 4 early 30 days early, but they say they are much more strict now.
Basically should I just pay the retail of $650 and pocket my upgrade for the future? Or pay $550 and extend ans save $100, which seems silly.
I already told my GF I'd sacrifice my PS Vita if I was able to get the Note. I'm dying g to get one!
I also know $650 seems expensive. But I look at it as a investment. Being I would be able to sell it down the road if needed or wanted for at least 60% of my money back. And I'm not signing a contract extension. And I believe not having to pay the $36 new activation fee.
Thanks, I've been reading these forums all day yesterday. So ready for my Note!
Go to best buy they will price match at$t and you get rewards zone points, if you're a silver member they even have a 3x points coupon out now that's good through today.. 650 would get you 1950 points with coupon, equals almost 40 back in reward zone certificate.

Damn that's a good deal. I'd be all for that if I wasn't at 5 lines already in our family plan. 150 is a steal for the note! Lucky you
Exactly. I just went to google and typed in Samsung Note for sale in US and that link came up. I thought it was bs but the live chat lady actually said its a great deal and she'd walk me through it to ensure I get the $150 discount. Can't wait. Bye-Bye Skyrocket.
Man I'm always missing the great deals! Maybe I should see if I can return my note and get this deal!

It's still up there. I mean $150 is still $150. That's beer money, game money, etc.
I paid full price. Gonna get another new one in June when get full upgrade and give this one to the wife. By that time might be free upgrade. Then I can sell the international I just handed down to her.

Same here. I just got home and I got mine! Super happy, we had to stop at the grocery store and I was bumping into people playing with it lol.
I paid full price, gonna get my gf hers in may. And then save my other upgrade in case the galaxy s3 intrigues me. But I can't see it getting much better than the note, very happy with it thus far.
I just purchased mine for 150... I will try at&t service and determine if i will keep it.. If I decide i don't like it I will cancel my service and buy out my contract... 325... That's a total of 475 for the phone itself... Now that's a deal compared to paying 650...

I hear ya man, today was the first time I laid out full price for a device. I usually go full upgrade or early I must really love the phone
But in my case my other two lines are due for upgrade in may so my gf gets one. And the other I can save for a future "me" device . Or get a note and sell it for $600 on the bay with my upgrade. Thus means I got mine for $300.
We utilize 3-4 of our lines between me and my gf. Id like to drop one off as well and save the $10 a month.The other we give to her parents in the mid west. Otherwise I would have done the $150 deal.
The ATT reps were totally unaware of the 50% off deal too, go figure lol.
Of course they were. They don't know of any of the deals I ask about.
Pay full price. I've been selling almost 10 $500 per Note in Craigslist. Only $100 more from early upgrade
Maybe try another store I just bought a phone back in November when I signed up for At&t. I called the store and said I wanted to buy the phone outright and the guy said why do that when you can do and early upgrade because they were not able to sell the phone off contract at the time. Do you live on Los Angeles? The store I go to is really customer focused.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
I paid $375
I just purchased one for $375, because my contract wasn't up until 08/12, so I had to do what they call an "exceptional upgrade". $300 for the phone and $75 for the early upgrade. I did it at one of those authorized AT&T stores, looks like the real store but they have their own price for early upgrades , compared to AT&T with their $175-250 fee. And now I see that premiere customers are eligible for 50% discount so I'll be calling them in the morning to try and get some kind of credit. Even though I really didn't spend any money because I sold my Skyrocket for $400!

sell me one lol
I'll be buying mine outright. $100 difference between outright and extending my contract and losing out on my scheduled upgrade in July? Kind of a no-brainer.
I did an early upgrade and was expecting to pay $550. It rang up at $500. The rep didn't know why. My upgrade wasn't due until March of '13.

Best place to buy it out right..

So I will be buying this phone cash no upgrade. Where should I go? I see it on sprint for 550 but everywhere else has the non upgrade price higher. I would have thought bb would see it cheaper than sprint.
Do you think any of the sprint stores will even have any on the 18th lol.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I believe I saw you could pre-order it from Sprint with out going on contract.
Pretty much the best place to buy it out right would be from the carrier if you want it new. Everywhere else is pretty much $100+ more out right.

Amazon.com may have good deals
but if your trying to stay away from the internet. AAFES aka The Exchange, but you have to be in or know someone who is in the military
If you are buying it out right because you are not due for an upgrade for a while keep this in mind, I was going to cancel my contract early then restart with a new 2 year agreement to get the upgrade price and when I told a Sprint rep that that is what I wanted to do, he said that if I pay $45 that it will give me an early upgrade elegibility and so I did it and I preordered the Evo and now wait for tomorrow for the release might wanna see if you can do that instead of payin all that money to get it off contract. This is legit at least in my case, I don't know if it work for everyone but it did for me. Worth a shot!
But keep in mind it will restart your 2 year agreement....your choice!
I am eligible for a upgrade. I just dont want to be on contract. With all the stuff Sprint has been taking away and them rolling out LTE Alot more could change soon.
I have been with them for 14 years and I have put up with there slow data speeds for the unlimited thing. But My GF has t-mobil and her speeds blow sprint away in my area (3g and 4g). On top of that she pays about 30 less then me a month. She only gets 5gb of data but I use wifi a lot and never really go over 3gb... Sooooo It might be worth it to change...
I'm planning on buying as an upgrade, but I missed pre-ordering so I'm going to buy from a physical store hopefully on release day. Anybody know if all sprint stores are going to have the phone available to buy on shelves? Or would it be better to try buying at Best Buy...?
If you buy the phone full price you'll pay 550. If you do a contract, get the phone for 200, cancel the first month and pay 350 etf, you've basically paid the same amount. Might as well go on contract
That's true .... I have been with them so long I forgot about etf..... so should I get it at sprint or best buy? I have also bought with sprint...

Evo lte will not work on t mobiles network from what I read. They are different frequencies.
**** Apple, I won't buy anymore of their products. They delayed the release of a better phone.
Well if the lte does not roll out like they say it will... Or they dump unlimited data.. I will pay the etf and then sell the phone on eBay... That way I can get on tmobil or ever is cheaper... My bill is like 130 a month on sprint and my gf pays around 100 after everything... Now that only 5gb of data but still more than enough for me...

What do you get with 130? With mobile to mobile minutes being free, I barely get to 100 on my plan and pay about 80 a month

Verizon's $199 deal is gone?

I was going to pick up a Note II on Sunday but the debate between the S4 and Note 2 lasted a bit long. By the time I was ready to buy, it was late and we needed to get the kids home and tucked in. That was Sunday. I look today and... $299 online. What the hell?
Best Buy's got it for $199 wit a $50 BB gift card. Tempted to do that so long as I can still upgrade it on my wife's line and move it over to mine, keeping unlimited data.
Yeah, do a round of online shopping. I got 2 for 216.00 from price matching sams club. If you can find a deal without gift cards verizon onlone match.
"One small step for man, One giant leap for mankind" said anyone who has tried Moon Rom
Yup, I'm looking around. Best Buy's deal is pretty decent as the price was already approved and I'm sure I can make use of the $50 gift card
The one alternative stuck in my head now is that the House Finance Committee has said she's fine with me picking up the Note 3 for the assumed $299 price.
The only thing I'd have to check on there is whether or not TrevE gets tethering working on it. I might just get the Note 2, then upgrade later to the 3 as the wife wants the Note 2 once I'm done with it.
Just get it at best buy. I got my note 2s with 100 gift cards due to a price match and recently got an s4 from a deal match at Dell for 129. It isn't worth it to buy through Verizon since they don't price match and you can get it elsewhere for cheaper from vendors that don't charge a restocking fee.
Never never never buy a phone directly from the carrier. Carriers don't offer deals that can beat third party stores such as Radio Shack, Best Buy, Wirefly and etc. For example, yesterday I purchased the Galaxy Note 2 and S3 from Radio for the total cost of $179. The Note 2 is only $149 at Radio Shack online store and Wirefly.

Sprint is giving me the boot for excessive voice roaming and best buy said they'd give me $275 for my phone and it's only 199 for a new line so I'm already making money off the deal I guess I'm just being greedy and trying to squeeze them for more lol.
Gonna miss unlimited data but I guess the silver lining is being paid to switch. Bonus is I'm running goodness rom now and it's available for Verizon too!

Honestly I work at a Verizon premium retailer and I can say I don't know why we don't price match. Thing I hate though is people getting the phone somewhere else and asking us to fix the screwed up plans or transfer contacts and put on screen protectors. If you don't want to spend the extra money here, don't ask us to do work for free, as we are 100 percent commision.

Only problem is he wants to transfer upgrade and when I got my Note 2, best buy told me that only Verizon could do it because they would only do it when I upgraded, not before and have it ready on my acct. Amazon couldn't do it either.
Looks like I missed Amazon's $149.99 price. I was going to hit Best Buy yesterday and got caught up with other things so it didn't happen and we figured on getting it Saturday. Amazon has it at $179.99 right now. Not bad and still the cheapest price for upgrading a line (new service is cheaper).
As to the upgrades, no, I won't be moving upgrades around. I'll be upgrading my wife's line as it's eligible for an upgrade. Then just move the phone to my line and reactivate her current phone. Once the Note 3 is out, I'll need to move my upgrade over to her line to do it again so I may run into the necessity of using Verizon there. I'll have to see how that goes.
Radio Shack is offering $149 for new customers & $199 for upgrade.

Whatever the best price, hopefully I'll have a new Note 2 later this afternoon.

Gnoop not sure if you've already made your Note 2 purchase, but if not "letstalk" is still running deal for $149 new customer or upgrade and it includes upgraded free next day shipping as well.

I did pick it up but thank you for the info. I ended up getting it at Best Buy on the last day of the gift card deal. The gift card was able to be used immediately so it came to $149 and I walked out of the store with the phone working. Now I just need to wait for Amazon to ship my case and memory card.

If you want to be a frugal shopper, you can provide your receipt to the kiosk booth to get back your $20 for the difference in the price drop.

[Q] My phone upgrades are available, what are my options?

I'm on Verizon obviously and I was lucky enough (at the time) to have been grandfathered into that 1400 minute plan with unlimited data. We have two phones, HTC Rezound(mine) and a Motorola DX2(wife), both do for upgrades in August. I'm probably going to wait until some new phones come out, nothing I see entices me right now.
Down to the point, how can we upgrade without losing our unlimited data? What are our options, any way to get around this? My wife is dying for a new phone, here DX2 is 2 years old and falling apart plus I'd love to get away from HTC. I appreciate any help with this.
Really the only way is to buy a phone off-contract.
Yeah as far as buying new, either catch a sale right around launch and buy it retail or wait until the phones been out a few months or so until they're cheaper than the retail price at online auctions or classified listing.
Or you can add a new line and get a new phone. Then swap Sims and activate an old dumb phone on the new line which allows you to not have to pay the $30 smartphone package. Ends up costing about 12-15 after the 9.99 monthly charge with taxes and usage fees added on.

I guess you have to buy one off contract. Swappa is great for buying gently used phones. Or you could buy a Nexus 4 or Nexus 5 when it comes out.

Can I at least pay monthly if I need to pay full price? I really don't want to leave VZW but $1200 for knew phones is crazy.

I am pretty sure they will let you spread out payments.

Too bad I can threaten them by leaving and going to tmo or sprint lol. I also saw a post a while back that someone went to Costco or a similar store like them and the rep at the kiosk gave him the 2yr upgrade price and kept his unl data. I wish I could find it.

If I remember that thread he got it by transferring the upgrade from one line to his or something. I think that's what happened.
Right now I'm on the old Nationwide Family Talk & Text plan. We have 2 phones; 1400 min, unlimited data and text. My girlfriend and I don't even come close to 1400. I took a screenshot of my data usage and my gf's from the vzw app. I believe it shows that I used over 5gb for this billing period so far? Am I able to see last months total data usage online? My 3yr old uses my phone a lot so I'm worried about tier data plans. Oh and we pay about $175 a month for this plan for two phones which is insane
I think these are all of my options? Which do you feel is the best for me in the long run?
A. Pay full retail for two new phones and use the monthly payment plan so I can keep my unlimited data?
B. Switch to a data tier plan and drop unlimited so I can get the 2yr phone discount prices?
C. Wait until Dec when my contract is done and then switch to another carrier?
D. Try and find a use phone on Craigslist?
Right now I have a Rezound (used from Asurion) and my GF has a cracked DX2. Where looking at maybe the S4 or a 5s when it comes out. We always wanted to try iPhones.
