Here's the Captivate URL for order on AT&T website.

http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...msung+Captivate+(TM)+-+Black&q_sku=sku4760319
And yep, it's $499.99 full price.
Free overnight shipping.

It's on Premier also, for those with corporate deals.

I can't seem to access the premier store tonight. Is the pricing any different?

I'm a little confused. I didn't add any plan to this but I do have an upgrade credit. If I do this am I locked into another two years?

Yes, the $199 price is for new customers with 2 year contract, or upgrade with 2 year extension.

I feel like that should be a lawsuit in the making. Nowhere does it say I would be under contract for another 2 years.

it says "Two-year contract required. Requires purchase of a $15/mo data service." under every smartphone when i go to upgrade. i dunno how it works for premier accounts but i assume its the same case.

You would think that... but not so much in reality.

I was confused about this also. No where on there does it say that I need to do an upgrade until I put the item in my cart, and I'm literally about to check out. I guess I'll just have to go to AT&T this morning and try my luck

data plan is not required for phone ordered through premier i believe
i tried to add the pure a while ago, no data plan needed

On the page with the list of the phones, at the bottom it says view pricing details. Click that and it says:
Your Price
"Your Price" is the optimal price after factoring in contractual (i.e. equipment discount), business and consumer pricing based on a one or two-year service agreement. This price is independent of eligibility requirements.

Cryptic message from T-Mobile??

What in the heck does this mean???

Sounds like you're on a legacy plan, and they'd like you to "upgrade" to one of their current plans. Which plan are you on?

I got a message like that about 6 months ago. I called them and they offered me a better plan for $5 less a month.
Call them. You can always turn their offers down.

Ironically I went to log into the website to check on my plan and the below picture popped up right away!
I guess they don't want people on FlexPay??
What's the downside of switching to one of the "current" plans?

The down side is that you sign a new contract and are locked in for 2 more years.

But on the plus side, at least it doesn't affect your upgrade eligibility. If you're comfortable with T-Mobile's service it might be not be a bad deal for you

I agree. If you're happy with your service, coverage, data speeds, etc, it might not be a bad deal. In my case, I'm long since out of contract, but am extremely disappointed with T-Mobile service where I now live, so upgrading to a current plan and signing a 2-year contract in the process does not appeal to me.

I had the same issue with AT&T before. I told them if I received 1 more call from them about any offers I would be cancelling my service. I have never received another call.

Verizon Early Termination Fee is $175 - Stick it to the man

Verizon has made a critical error in giving us our phones. They made the contract early termination fee dependent on the device being on the advanced devices list, but then forgot to put it on. That means that the early termination fee is $175 not $350.
So I say...cancel your phone. Put it on ebay. Buy another. Make sure they know it's because of the locked bootloader. Make them hurt. And go buy a developer edition off contract.
Here is the advanced devices list. www.verizonwireless.com/advanceddevices and the SGS III is not on there.
And here is what you signed

I don't know about anyone else but my receipt for my pre-order phone shows an ETF of $0. That certainly falls within the phrasing of "up to $175" or "up to $350" which I believe is what one agrees to when signing the new contract.

I actually had the same thing too. I will be doing this if we can't get an unlocked bootloader by the first week in August.

While no one devs for the developer edition? I'm not going out and wasting that much on a cellphone and most wont.

I'm not returning mine but I'd just call and refuse to pay that they miss-sold us and did not notate any differentiation from the Galaxy S3 experience.

the galaxy nexus is not on that list either?

Neither is the Razr Maxx. Must be outdated.

Interesting...
Does anyone have a new customer agreement in their "My Documents and Receipts" area?
I do not. I have my previous agreement, which expires 7/6/12. I also have an equipment upgrade document for the S3 which specifies an ETF of up to $175, but has a disclaimer stating in case of an error, my customer agreement will govern over that document.
Did anyone get a new customer agreement in that section, maybe it isn't available until the first bill after the upgrade.
For the record, despite the GNex not being on that document, my customer agreement for when I purchased that phone states an ETF of up to $350.

Verizon's etf on sgs 3 is 350. I just checked a handful of my customers accounts(I work for Verizon) and they all said 350 for termination fee. I've seen Verizon do worse though

AT&T offering data plan doubling for free, Short time only and unannounced.

Please ready the fowling message, which AT&T has not made public.
For a short period we are being offered a nice boost for data plans, but you need request it. Double your data for free. I did this today without issue.
I was actually on the 10gb plan mentioned in the article. I bumped my plan to 15gb for $30 more (total $130/month) but in doing so, my data jumped to 30gb. It turns out to be roughly $4.5/gb(w/ tax).
The crazy thing is, a 1gb plan cost $25 +tax...
It's a good deal folks and the ability to double will only last until the end of October.

Price Changes
Old Price New
10 GB $100 10 GB
15 GB $130 30 GB
20 GB $150 40 GB
30 GB $225 60 GB
40 GB $300 80 GB
50 GB $375 100 GB

These prices don't include the line price, which is $40 extra per line? So that 15gb plan would cost you, for two lines, 210 a month? Correct me if I misunderstood that.

That's correct, if you are/have upgraded your device w/ AT&T.
In your case though, you own the OnePlus One, therefore the line is only $15. If you purchase your device outside of AT&T, your 2 lines would be $15 each. This brings your monthly to $160 for 30gb.

Thanks so much for posting this! I called and went from 15gb plan to 30gb plan in 3 minutes without costing me a penny! I'm so happy!

I don't think you need to call in to do this. I logged into my account and I was able to upgrade from there.

At&t next costs a little more, yes, but you are not locked into a two year contract which is neat. As soon as you pay off your phone, you can get a new phone whenever you'd like to instead of missing out on all the great devices that you could possibly get between those two years. I upgraded to an s4 because the other phones including the s5 did not seem like much of an upgrade and the note is too big for me. Also it knocks off 25 bucks off your data plan when you upgrade with next, granted the promotion isn't over. On top of getting the double data for free is a great deal.
I found some new awesome information about the next upgrade in the s5 thread

too bad the 10GB plan is excluded from this offer.

I saw a post on the Mac Rumor forum that AT&T is giving people with the 10 GB plan 20GB for the same price. I just called and they were more then happy to give it to me with no questions asked!

Tmobile note 5, to those that may purchased

Within the last 30 days, you can get a free tablet, call and ask about the free tablet promotion.
I was an early purchaser, I missed out....

I guess it doesn't hurt to call and ask...

Yes you are eligible for a free galaxy tab A 8.0 , however a $10 a month data plan is required for 2 years. If you cancel the data plan, the tablet cost becomes due.

I got offered it in store when I got my note the other day. Told them no because I have an 8 tablet laying around I don't use. When you have a phone that us almost 6 inches an 8 inch tablet is a waste. Now if it and 10 inch I would do it.

I agree with the phone to tablet thing but my last tablet was a Motorola Xoom so I picked one up for my daughter. Its not a bad deal.

Does anyone know how much data you get for that $10?

It's loosely based on you current plan. I have and unlimited data plan, so for the $10/month data line I get 5gb/month.

Should be getting mine in tomorrow. They never mentioned it to me in the store. I found out through xda. I figured for $10/month I can figure out a use for it.

It's not loosely based, it's called Data match. If you have 1GB, you get 1GB. 3GB gets you 3GB, unlimited gets you 5GB.

So if I bought my device on 9/28, how does this work? Do you have to call and place an order or do I just order it online and hope they give me bill credit? I paid full price for my phone.

I just went in earlier this week, and we were offered a free fourth line for our family plan. since I was jumping from my note 5 32gb to the 64 gb (I ran out of storage lol) we got the tablet for absolutely free, no 10 dollars a month, since the line we added was free. It's not a bad tablet either.

Read the papers you have. You have to be paying for a line. If you are on the mobile on demand you do not receive bill credit for the tablet.

I said no....pay 240 bucks for 2 years....yeah I know it includes 5 gb a month, but I still not think it was worth it. Just my opinion of course

No, it was a promotion. We got the fourth line free
