I received this phone a few days ago and it was free with 2 years contract.

so now, i just need to have it unlock for tmobile.
You do realize that you'll have to pay ETF, equipment cost, and your first bill right? All that should come to about $550.
175(ETF) + 40(1st bill) + 36(activation) = $251 still a good deal.

None of you people read the contract agreement? If you cancel a contract (in the first 6 months was it?) then you have to pay EQUIPMENT cost which is like ~$300/$400. I don't remember. I tried to do that when I got my free tilt. They said I couldn't and I would have to pay equipment cost. and this was AFTER 60 or so days.
No 3G on T-Mobile with the Fuze either.

Nope, nobody listens. I have been saying this for ever. You are 100% correct.
I got mine free thru the letstalk deal. but i wont be cancelling.
Letstalk, amazon and newegg are the few retailers that have a clause in additon to the att clause. It usually states if you the buyer cancel before the 6 month of the billing cycle, you will be chagrge the full amount of the phone or to some of that extent since 3rd party have a severe discount when you sign up with them for example letstalk is giving awat the fuze for free.

I just went through the service agreement with ATT (on there website) - there NO mention of "Equipment Cost". Within 30 days you have to return the phone, after - pay $175 ETF.
Maybe with other retailers agreement differs...

I just got the first bill last week, there was no data charges or it doesn't have a data plan.
The equipment cost is not listed on the ATT contract and I think it only applies to Letstalk, Amazon and other retailers because they make commissions off the contract but that contract has to be valid for 6 months.
Free through the AT&T Premier Site
I got a fuze free with a new line of service and a 1yr aggreement. AT&T Premier offered the fuze free on Dec. 1 only.

Same deal here. I had to reup for 2 years. I was out of contract on my old line so when I got the Fuze they tried to make me start a new line with a new number. After 2 days of arguing they finally transferred my old line/number to the new contract.
Me and my employees deal with this issue daily............for the record............ATT will charge you 175ETF First Bill and Act fee and small proration of days (if you keep >14days, Less than that only pay ETF and proration)................LETSTALK, Amazon and other authorized dealers (YES some agent locations do this) will charge you their own fees if desired, its in the agreement you sign WITH THEM........Further more, keep in mind Walmart.com prices include "LETSTALK MIR's" these also fall under the above additional charge clause.
PLEASE READ YOUR MIR AND SMALL PRINT WHEN YOU THINK YOU'RE GETTING A DEAL. DON'T SCREW YOURSELF OVER LIKE MANY DO DAILY, I LIKE TO THINK READERS OF XDA ARE SMARTER THAN THAT

Just sold my iPhone a good hefty amount Wheres the best place to get out of contract pricing? 400 isnt much, but I've heard of people getting it for 300? Anyone know where?
Also, my two year ends 02/26/2011, do I qualify for the upgrade pricing from Costco which is 79.99 or do I have to wait until that date?
Alex
Yeah, go to Costco and ask them if you qualify for the early upgrade right now. If not, wait until the 26th... its a great price. ($79) I tried yesterday but they turned me down for an early upgrade, told me to go to the corporate store, and I can get it there. Try your luck!
Would love to know where I can buy one online at a reasonable price with no service contract.
att.com don't sell them without a service contract so that is out
AT&T stores have it retailed for 399.99 without commitment. They probably need more than a few in stock to sell it to you but that's the cheapest I have seen.
Just got mine today from ATT off contract $399 seems to be the cheapest right now anywhere. Seems kinda odd that they wouldn't sell u one.

Seen eBay prices as low as $320. Could probably dip below $300 in a week. I trust eBay more than say, small obscure handset websites, because I've never had a problem bidding on a phone and getting what I wanted in a timely manner, but when it came to an actual online retailer, they would give me the run-around on shipping or send me a defective product.
sometimes http://www.wirefly.com has good deals on early upgrades.
Just got mine at BB for 324 plus tax. That was no contract price.
I got a pretty good early upgrade yesterday.
I have 2 lines, 1 shows ready for upgrade and the other addon line shows eligible on 4/24/11. Contract is up in August.
I went to a corporate store and they said 99 for the normal upgrade and 399 for the other.
I went home and called customer service and got the same story.
I then asked them what charges I would have if I cancel my account early.
They told me and after a couple of min. they gave me the retention rep.
Ended up getting 2 new Inspires, free shipping, for 79.99 each!

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.
Att store used an early upgrade for a non data enabled line for us and it was $300 and put on the data enabled line for me, but then i gave it to my wife. THEN the data stopped working for her line and we had to call and explain because there was something that needed to be enabled on her line for the 4g phone, EVEN though att was out of the 4g cards. So we have to go back to the store to get the 4g card i was supposed to get, but going to get for her line now.
Untill i buy another one. Maybe today. But that will probably be the full 400 price. Ill check bestbuy store see if its cheaper

He's a cashier there, haha. Kidding, but seriously, the BestBuy POS doesn't allow it to be rung up at that cost.
I can't find this now for some reason ... but FWIW I called my VZ corporate store today and they had "no information" on price yet ... yet BB knows it's $250, why is this?
I'm assuming it's going to be 249 @ vzw as well as BB? Or do you think VZ is going to hit us w/299 and expect us to do a 50 rebate?
I'm going to get the TBolt and if I end up not liking it I'll just sell it after the DInc 2 comes out I'm scared to get a larger phone, I love the size of my Eris .... and we all know SIZE MATTERS

$250 from Verizon on a 2 year contract, confirmed by V today in a tweet...
This is not the same question as the poster, but it kind of falls under the topic. I was going to order by calling verizon and having them send me the phone(can't get a certain monthly discount on wirefly(so the customer service person tells me)) and they offered to waive the activation fee. But I found a midnight launch here locally and was wondering if those employee's have the ability to waive the activation fee as well? I would try and entice them with buying the same amount in accessories of course.

Verizon retail employees can waive alot of things and give additional discounts. Just say that you really want this phone, but the price is too much. They would want you to be a loyal customer and have you pay $20 less than just walk out.

I wish you the best w/the waiving of the fee .... I recently added a line and they charged the $35, it took a call and then a request to talk to a supervisor .... and many minutes on hold before she came back and told me that, as a one time courtesy they would waive it. They also wanted me to "be sure to understand" that going forward all extra lines would have a fee.
I had to laugh when I hung up 'cuz the CS rep assured me in the first place that I would NOT be able to get the fee waived, even after I asked to speak to a supervisor ... moohoowahhahahahaha, I win! And the fact that she was all *****y about it and I got it waived made it even sweeter!
yay me. From what I understand the store people will tell you they don't have the authority to waive it .... let us know what you find out.

wirefly is still cheaper. 199-25 for the fatwallet cashback. 175 total
plus using the coupon code you get a free 4gb card
I am eligable for an early upgrade but I think it will only work through Verizons website. Wirefly said I am not eligable and Amazon keeps reporting a problem with my info.
This sucks.
An interesting note: I called verizon to ask why i couldn't upgrade though a third party website and they said I just can't. I asked what their price will be and the lady said she didn't know the price but she sees that there will $100 rebate on it.
AT&T Premier Account and 3rd Party Retailers (RadioShack). Activation waive possible?
I preordered the HTC One X Sunday morning from Radio Shack (regretted it once I heard Amazon had it for the same price, tax free). Anyhow, a few days later I found out I qualify for an AT&T Premier Account as a student.
My question is, can Radio Shack (or any 3rd party retailer) waive my activation fee like AT&T does since I'm a qualified Premier account? I'd rather not pay those $36 for locking myself in a 2-year contract.
Just call at&t when it shows up on your bill and ask them if they can waive it for you
I'm not sure how much truth there is in this, mostly because I just don't trust the dude at Radio Shack, however, I, too, pre ordered from Radio Shack before the Amazon announcement, and I have a premier account, and what I was told by the manager at Radio Shack was that they don't "charge" the activation fee. AT&T does. If you owe an activation fee, it is assessed by the carrier, and charged by the carrier after the sale of the handset. I don't believe this, mostly because everyone at Radio Shack has told me something that doesn't make sense, illustrating their lack of knowledge about the inner workings of the cellphone industry. I'm hoping that at the time of activation the information shown in the AT&T system will be that I don't owe the fee, and one will not be charged, but there is no way to know until it happens. Might possibly ask AT&T directly what their protocol is for activation through 3rd parties is, maybe they can put a note on the account to waive the fee. Not really sure.
Sorry if this isn't that helpful.

He was right, the activation fee is charged by the carrier, thats why I suggested calling your carrier when it shows up on your bill, because I just found out that not all premier members get activation fees waived, you basically have to call and see if your company or whomever has that included in the benefits, but being a loyal customer helps as well.
Hmm, I'm on Premier account and I never get activation fee wavied by AT&T. In fact, AT&T charges $36 fee for Premier account a year earlier than they did for regular consumer account.

Same here..maybe I'm not asking nice enough
In fact, other than the service discount (I got 23% discount on everything), everything on Premier is more expensive than regular account. All the promotions like rebates and routine $100 off for new customers never apply to Premier accounts.
BTW, the activation fee is charged to your account, not paid at point of sale. So unless they give you $36 credit for your account, you will be automatically charged $36 by AT&T on your first bill.

I too have a premier account.
All you have to do is call in to ATT and tell them you were never made aware that there would be an 'Upgrade Activation Fee' and they waive it 90% of the time.
I literally just did this yesterday and they waived the $36 fee.
The convo went something like this:
Me: Hi I noticed that there was a $36 fee on my account. I wasn't aware that I would be charged for upgrading me phone!
ATT Rep: The sales person didn't tell you about the fee?
Me: No, I wasn't aware of this at all.
ATT Rep: We aren't supposed to waive the fees anymore since we started to charge everyone but I'll waive it just this once.

This is just about right.
I've NEVER paid an activation fee or upgrade fee since I had my first contract phone in 05/06.
I bought the HOX from a physical AT&T store and did not get charged the upgrade fee. 2 years ago I bought from Amazon and also did not get charged the fee. 4 years ago was from walmart and didn't pay it then either. So unless they've changed anything you shouldn't have to pay it even from 3rd parties. Not all premier accounts are the same though...I get 30% off service and other stuff which is my biggest reason for not jumping carriers in 8 years.

I know that. My question is that since my current phone is NOT on the corporate plan, and it seems that to transition to start the corporate plan requires a fresh 2 year contract, it appears I will have to start a new premier account contract at the same time I get a phone.
At Amazon I can only upgrade my phone w/o the ability to modify my AT&T plan. However, once I upgrade my phone, I will be on a new 2 year contract and thus not be eligible to switch to a Premier Account for the next 2 years?
Is that true? I am thinking about cancelling my pre-order from Amazon Wireless and just going to an AT&T corporate store.
I was planning on going into the AT&T store, since I have a Premier account, so I could get the activation waived. However, I guess after reading this I might just get the activation fee waived afterwards.
My only question now is that with a Premier account, will I have any problems doing an upgrade with Amazon? I talked to Amazon customer support about two years ago (when I last upgrade my phone) and they said that Premier accounts could not upgrade through them. Is this true? Anyone have any experience with this? Because I sure would like to pay $150 with no tax rather than $199 plus tax at the AT&T store.
I also am premier account but on top of 24% off plans I also get 30% off accessories and 40% off msrp of any phone and activation fees waived I guess there are differences in premier accounts

Thanks for all the inputs. So, to confirm:
Radio Shack should NOT charge me an activation fee when I go in and buy my HTC One X. The Activation fee is incurred in the monthly bill. Is this correct?
If that's the case, I feel like I have a chance at getting it waived via AT&T. I know Radio Shack would fight this to the death, so I hope they don't have anything to do with this fee.
Androidpolice released a report stating that all smartphones at or under the price of $200 are 50% off until June 30. This includes the galaxy s4 and s4 active but requires a 2 year contract. Should work for upgrades too but I haven't gotten a chance to check it. If you've been on the fence about getting a new phone now is a good time to check this deal out.

Just snagged an Active. F'n taxes brought it up to $147 but no activation fee made me feel better.
ordered a s4 and it came out to be 363 with tax and overnight shipping. Will cancel the line once I get the phone
You might want to read thru the terms you agreed to when ordering the device. If you cancel the line you used to get the phone you are subject to an early term fee and/or an equipment fee if canceled in the first 6 months. If you take advantage of the 14/30 day return period and do not return the device they can and will charge your account for the full cost of the device.

I upgraded a line and traded an old phone in to get $100 literally one day before this sale went live. I had to call yesterday and ask for credit because why would anyone give away an old phone when you can get the same discount online without doing that. Anyways all they could do is give me $100 credit on my next bill which was nice. Overall great deal
There's super-long thread on SlickDeals about this deal. Apparently you can get 50% certain smartphones using a month-to-month option. Basically, you can get 50% the full price of the phone.
Details from the "Wiki" portion of this deal:
How to buy a non-commitment i.e. no contract device from ATT
Your best bet is going to the local store for pickup or ordering with overnight shipping. I don't think ATT is going to ship these devices on monday.
Select month-to-month.
Online
Cancel the line AFTER you get shipping confirmation and it is in route to you.
Pickup
Nothing. Cancel as soon as you get home with your device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Canceling
Call ATT and request to cancel your line. You have 3 days to get 100% service/act fee refund. After that it is prorated or the whims of ATT. Get confirmation of canceling and the employee's ID (their email address). You will get a bill in the mail for $0 and that is it.
Call any ATT number and say "cancel" and you will get transfered to retention/cancelation department. "I would like to cancel my new line. All I wanted was the phone which is why I ordered a month to month plan."
DO NOT USE the activated SIM if you want a 100% refund i.e. don't make a 30 minute call and expect them to not charge you.
Month-to-month = you get a bill = postpaid = you need credit

how much does it come out to then? less than the FWC approach? (Fat Wad of Cash)
thats usually how i do it; cash and no info; just the device.
I'm concerned because the fine prints states only 2 yr agreement. I want to go the month to month direction just to get the phone but I feel like they will get their money from me one way or the other.

I ordered month to month, cancelled when I got home. Guy on phone confirmed no fees for cancelling. I keep the GS4. Paid $320+tax.
Quick question
If you are already an existing AT&T customer (I have the original galaxy note - still in contract), can I buy the month by month (e.g. full price)? Or do I have to add another line?
I mean I just want to buy it at full price, toss out the simcard from my gnote (cut it to be microsim) and pop it in to my new S4?
so its $320 plus tax if you go month to month and cancel? seriously?

I'm coming from the Slickdeals post. I was able to get two "month to month" phones (S4 and S4 Active) for in-store pickup. Once you get the phone, you call and cancel the service. The "month to month" is a no-contract plan. I got the S4 for $200 no contract (due to an error with the system, the store manager made the price $200 for my extra wait.)
I now have an S4 for $200 and an S4 Active for $318 no contract. I didn't have any problems when canceling the plan.
So awesome

I upgraded a line and traded an old phone in to get $100 literally one day before this sale went live. I had to call yesterday and ask for credit because why would anyone give away an old phone when you can get the same discount online without doing that. Anyways all they could do is give me $100 credit on my next bill which was nice. Overall great deal

I ordered an S4 Active last night with Month to Month under my current number that is already on contact. I paid full retail for my S4 last month and $315 including tax for the S4 Active.
I have a USPS tracking number now so all looks good.
I will either keep both or sell my least favorite. Either way a good deal.
I literally got my S4 YESTERDAY. My god
So wait, let me get this straight. As an existing ATT customer, I can order a new phone on a new plan (month to month). Then cancel the line as soon as the device ships, and I will receive the phone, but no bill? Except for the price of the device of course.
Does anybody know if this applys to the Note 2
