What is good price to pay for a Fuze on eBay? I am up for an upgrade from AT&T in January. I was thinking of buying a Fuze on eBay now and then once I get my discounted Fuze, list that on eBay and make up the difference. What do you guys think?

I'd call ATT and get an early upgrade. You may not even have to pay the early upg. free if you play your cards right. I am not technically eligible until Sept. 09 and I got the promo pricing after a couple (4) of calls. GL!

damn what did u say to them
I just told them my current phone was not working properly anymore and was out of warranty and that I did not have money to buy a new phone without a contract upgrade and they let me upgrade when I was supposed to wait until Jan.

lol, I posted my adventure in the release date thread. I didn't really say much, actually. THEY told me that I could get an upgrade and after the back and forth, they made good on their offer. Still don't know how I managed to escape the fees. Get creative and schmooze the tele-sales rep.
Ya get more bees with honey, as they say.
$349.99 before $50 MIR
No tax yay
Amazon has it for $174.99 for new customers and upgrades
My contract isn't up until feb, but I went to an ATT store and was able to get the upgrade pricing. All I really had to do was sign up for a data plan (for atleast 6 months) which I was planning to anyways. Just go in to an ATT store.

Wow, I've been waiting for this phone to pop up on Amazon for awhile now. I've been checking it everyday since the release, and I got nothing. Even when I just tried it nothing came up. After hitting your link, I realized that I guess I wasn't searching with the right name. D'oh!
Blah. I don't see anything for getting it for a family plan line =/

Unfortunately Amazon only allows you to upgrade single lines OR buy new plans: family plans are not supported.

Bah. Ghey. I was all excited to buy from amazon. Blah. I'm just go through this process.
1. Add a line. Get fuze for $250 before $50 rebate
2. Remove old line after it ends (week or so)
3. Transfer old line's number to new line.
4. Outcome comes to:
Fuze: $250
Activation: $30
Tax: $30
Number exchange: $10
total: $320 ($270 after rebate)
Difference from when i bought in store: $350 - $270 = $80 saved I'm doing it. I would use the 80 bux for something else.

I have order from them a few times , they are the best in pricing.
Well I have read numerous sources saying it will be 199.99 with 2 Year Contract.. Now I am seeing receipts for 149.99 with contract or 299.99 without contract. I truly want this phone and the 50$ wont stop me, but hey it is 50$ more dollars for apps and accessories. Does anyone know if they price was changed or if I should bring in a picture of the receipts to get a 50$ off or will I just end up paying 200$?
AT&T and Samsung posted on their twitter that it is $199 with a contract, and $350 without a contract.
I'm hoping it is $350, cause that's how much money i got for it! haha.
Yah, but how are people getting it for 300 or 150?
I have no idea. I haven't seen any receipts and such.

Now I'm jealous. I hope it is $300 but i'll settle for $350!
haha yah I mean, paying an extra 50 really won't stop me. But hey, thats 50$'s I can use on accessories etc
I guarantee that it's 349.99 without a contract and 199.99 with a 2 year contract.
The people that are getting 50 or 100 dollars off the prices of the phone is because of the AT&T upgrade advantage.

If the primary line on your account is over $100 then that line will be upgrade eligible every year.
I believe they have three ways of paying.
1. upgrade elligable its $199 with a 2 year contract and USE your elligability.
2. Not elligable for an upgrade its $350. with a 2 year extension on your contract but not using your future upgrade.
3. No contract $499.
I just called and thats what two local stores told me.
I was just told 500 off contract from an AT&T store.

Woa, that'd be completely new for att. I've never seen any signs or ads anywhere for previous phones that describe option 2, always just 1 or 3 (renew your contract or just no contract pricing - no inbetween). If I'm wrong, I apologise, but I haven't heard of that before.
I called a store from one of the recepits that people have posted, and they told me that there was no way some of the pricing, nor sales have happened. I was told $500 dollars from a store that was $300.
I was also told $199 from a store that sold one for $149 and that I was reading the receipt wrong and instead of the "samsung i897" like the receipt says, it was really a 3gs 32 gb phone. Basically, I was told that I am an idiot and it wasn't really that price.
what the hell is going on?
Now I'm just more mad than anxious.

I agree. This whole pricing war is becoming insane, not to mention differen't prices for different people is not right.

That makes a lot more sense. So I think that actually clears up everything. Stores don't sell them at different prices, you may just be eligible for an additional discount. But I will still call several places when it is out to try to pick it up for 150$
So since my phone line is $150 a month, but i just upgraded last month, I am able to get this phone for $350 or $500?
wait... I want to get this phone but no data plan... as an att customer already which pricing would fit me

Honestly, I don't think think you are eligible for any of the 50 or 100$ off. Now I still haven't quite found out why some stores are charging 350 or 500 so I would simply suggest calling around.

Well I don't think you can purchase the phone without a data plan. Maybe off contract, but if you want the 2 year agreement price, you HAVE to get a data plan. As for the 50 and 100$ off, you NEED a 2 year agreement and that means you NEED a data plan.

every retail store I've called is selling for 500 dollars, or they do not have any pricing information yet.
I bought skyrocket within first 3 weeks of june 2012, and do i have to wait until 3 weeks within june 2014 to upgrade phone/ contract to end? or have they changed their wait time?

Yes, and No. You can pay a early termination fee and get out from under a contract. The fee will be based off how much time you have left on your contract. You can upgrade anytime by buying a phone outright. If you want to avoid the extra fee then yes you have to wait until the anniversary date to upgrade or get out of contract. Sometimes they give special deals and let you upgrade to a newer phone early. You should call AT&T and ask what your options are. They don't bite.
I have a question regarding AT&T early upgrade at Best Buy store.
Let's say I'm eligible for Early Upgrade on a line. Now AT&T will charge for Galaxy S4 $199+$200 Early upgrade fee. Now question is on bestbuy they are doing a promotion for 2 year extension on contract (upgrade), Galaxy S4 for $49.99 Now if I do early upgrade with BB, will I be eligible for this price of $49.99 + $200 (Early Upgrade Fee at Best Buy) or will pay standard $199 + $200? Thank you all in advance for reading and answering my question.

I went for this and will upgrade present contract to a sim only deal. Overall it's a similar price to a 24/12 contract but I get the option to upgrade after a year. What do others think?
Did same in UK Samsung online, pretty happy overall . .getting the option to upgrade to the S8 when it arrives next March is a winner in my book
Oh and a free gear vr means i can sell my S6 with my innovator edition gear vr i had for my s6

Did exactly the same thing will switch to sim only on August when contract is up. Will save me about 200 pound over the two years instead off a two year contract and can upgrade to next Samsung next year . 27 is pounds a month and no network bloat . Can't wait till the 8th
Wish they had this in the states.

Same. If Apple can, why can't Samsung?
I thought this idea came from the states . Mabe they are trialing it here. Will put straight into a case as scratches are counted after the year. I emailed the re getting a gear vr as it was not stated on the email and here is my reply Thank you for contacting Samsung UK Online Shop.
We would like to confirm that all pre-orders placed on Samsung UK
Online Shop are eligible to receive the free Gear VR Lite headset.
The product will be added automatically to all pre-orders in a few days.
We remain at your disposal, might you need any further assistance.

So it's the vr lite which I guess is the latest consumer version.
I'm on Sprint here in the States and they have the Galaxy Forever plan which is like their iPhone Forever deal. You basically do the 24 month phone lease plan and after 12 months you can upgrade to the next Galaxy (S8 I would assume next year) or if you wanted a different brand etc you would need to wait the 24 months OR pay off the remaining year's worth of lease payments to swap early. So yah as long as you want the new Samsung replacing the S7 you would just give them the S7 and they would give you the new Galaxy phone. I guess the only difference would be that your charges may go up or down depending on the new phones monthly lease cost.
I went for this in the UK and I note this adds £84 on top of the sim free price of the Edge. About £3.50 a monthj
I have one year left of a 2 year contract and so I'll see what to do in January. I could end up paying off the Samsung S7 Edge and selling it and then taking out a new contract with whichever network to get the new phone.
One thing I couldn't tell, if I pay it off early do I save some interest?
I worked it out, it's £30 a month plus £15 or so for a sim only deal, so £45 all in - same price as a normal contract
In uk sim only deals usually 1/12 and not 24/12 so worth bering in mind as may be cheaper in a year.

I can't see it mentioned either, but as it seems similar to a lease there must be some early termination charge. Probably better off to speak to them directly as it isn't mentioned at all in their T&C's.
EDIT: Also it seems to be 14.9% APR interest
I'm definitely doing this. The contract on my S6E isn't up till March next year but by doing this I can sell my old Edge as part of payment for the remainder of my contract, then switch to a sim only plan next year. It's the only way I could do it without buying the phone outright. I can't see anyone beating Samsung for the next two years in terms of phones, besides the Nexus line. And besides, you don't have to upgrade to the S8 if you don't want to either. Can just continue your monthly payments as normal, so pretty much a no brainer.
I really wanted to do this. under £30 a month and an upgrade to the latest galaxy device after 12 months (providing you return the existing handset). Unfortunately, due to one late payment recorded on my credit file this year, Samsung have refused me
That's too bad! I think mobile contracts are easier to get than this type of credit, not sure though.
The only problem with upgrading after 12 months is that you sign another 24 months contract.

I generally have good credit but Samsung will not accept if there is even 1 late payment recorded on your credit file.
You do sign another 24 month contract but if you return the handset after 12 months, they wipe the remaining 12 months.

This still works out cheaper than my current contract . If I want to upgrade with Vodafone ots 56 a month for the exact same tariff . By buying the phone on the upgrade program even with the little bit of interest I'm still saving around 200 over the two years going sim only and this offer

It says you can make payments or pay off whenever if you paid it off in say 6 months you wouldn't then pay interest on the remains 18 months
I was thinking of taking the plunge doing the upgrade programme route, I usually buy the phone outright as I have a business sim card in the phone.
How's everyone finding the programme so far now it's been out for awhile?
