You should but they would probably want to charge you a restocking fee of $35. Maybe they can price match it for you. Best Buy offers great sales from time to time and they don't charge restocking fees so I buy my phones there instead lol
Just got back from Best Buy with an extra $50. I like their 30 day matching program. Thanks for the info.
Its been 35 days as i bought it on launch day....will best buy still do best price match ?

So if I go to an att store they will give me $100???
Thanks!
I bought mine 20 days ago and then bought one for my sister yesterday. I called A&T and they credited me the difference for both phones back to my account. Appreciate the information.

Got my infuse from wal-mart today. showed them the online add from best buy and they gave me my phone for $99.
I bought my infuse about 2 weeks ago, I always buy my phones from bestbuy but for some reason only AT&T would upgrade since my actual date was June 26th. So I went back to AT&T and told them bestbuy had a special for the infuse,at the time they were selling for $150, which AT&T gladly matched. The girl who was cashing me out told me accessories were on sale, buy 2 get 1 free, I told her I didn't have any cash for that right now. A few minutes later she tells me to go pick out a case, so I did ($35) she than walked across the store and grabbed a set of 3 screen protectors and a car charger, she than asked me which id want, a blue tooth head set or a set of panasonic wireless blue tooth ear buds, I took the ear buds. Next she tells me "shhh, don't tell any body" the ear buds are sick, ill be streaming music at work walking around the building why my phone is at my desk, not too mention I can pause, play, skip, and answer my phone and they retail for $100. The stuff I for for free was worth more than what I paid for the phone, so id feel a little guilty going back in and asking for an addition $50 price match, but I might. Lol

I bought my Infuse 4 days ago for $199 at ATT. I went to att store and told them i'd be returning it and going to BB, and they gladly knocked $100 off my bill and gave me a free case....pretty cool
I ordered mine from costco online so I could have 90 days to exchange for the Attain if it does come out soon... I just emailed them to see if they would match the price. I'll let you guys know what happens.
hello people im excited to get my new phone this week. i just called and spoke with retentions dept. I have 2 lines and both have exspired contracts. I told them i was thinking of switching providers to get a new (free) phone. The rep was very nice and said we will send u 2 HTC Sensations free! woo hoo!! can't wait to get it. hopefully ill be able to root them! anyways just wanted to share my good news!!
Nice. I just bought a Sensation yesterday. I told them I was going to Verizon and they credited my account $80 and let me keep my brand new G2x (For Sale by-the-way)
I like it because it doesn't keep turning off randomly...
cool!! i wanted the g2x but they said it was out of stock? im guessing the sensation is compairable!
Wow, I wish I could do this with Sprint.
bummer... i tried this, and the best they'd offer me was BOGO for the Sensations
I wouldnt give up. I tried a couple of times. the first time I was trying to get the g2x and they said it was Out of stock. I still had a month left on my contract. so i called a month later and the first rep i talked to tried to offer me the Galaxy S 4g for 174.00 I said no and asked for the retentions dept. thats where i found hog heaven! No problem at all. only catch was I had to renew my contract for 2 more years. but got 2 free phones and also I forgot that I got my monthly bill lowered. I was paying the 139.99 for 2 lines unlimited everything. they dropped it to 98.00!!!

Almost as good as my deal. I got a free Sensation and got to keep my G2X all the while remaining off contract.

TO Sprint! While I liked my G2X and LOVED all teh support it was getting from all of the developers, the service in my area was just unbearable. Since I moved here 4 years ago I was not able to even stream a song or pandora on the crap EDGE network.
I got the Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch and I am loving it so far. I got a hell of a deal and couldnt pass it up. I know Verizon is a better network to be on but it was $30 more and it wasnt truly unlimited like Sprint is.
I got my G2X through Best Buy Mobile and signed up for the buy back program.. well today I went to go see how much that buy back is worth and they gave me $450 for my G2X! It was too good to pass up. So with that $450 I paid the $200 for the new sprint phone, and another $200 for terminating T-mobile contract and walked out of the store with a $50 best buy gift card. It blew my mind, I got paid to switch to a better network and better phone.
Just wanted to shout out to all the devs and support and thanks for all the frustrating times with the old beast.

Yeah I dumped Sprint earlier this year. Couldn't stand the thought of paying $10 extra a month for "smart phone fee" that used to be called "4G" data fee. Of course my city doesn't have Sprint 4G so you could understand how I felt about that bogus fee. My Sprint 3G download speed at home was 100-300kb per sec. I am getting 7-8meg per sec download with Tmobile. I also got 1 bar with Sprint at home and I get full bars at home with Tmobile.

Ya my buddy on sprint with his nexus s sitting right next to me gets 1.2mb down and I get 8mb down during peak hours he wasn't too happy with his choice either. Best wishes to the OP, how is epic touch, SGSII?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Thanks folks, I only get 1.2Mbps here inside on 3G. I read everywhere that sprints 3G is slow but it sure beats the heck out of 128Kbps to where I cant even use Pandora while going for a jog. I can still watch youtube and stream netflix and all ther other stuff just fine. T-mobile has no support in my area whatsoever, Best Buy Mobile carried their phones here for like 8 months and just dropped them all last week and picked up Cricket of all things... I did like HSPA+ here in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis / St. Paul) I pulled like 5 down but I was with my friend that just got the LG Revolution and he pulled 12 down which was pretty nuts.
The SGSII is pretty sweet, Its living up to the hype I gues. Its really speedy and the screen is nice. I used to have a Vibrant before the G2X and everybody knows how crappy the GPS was on that among other things which is why I was leary on getting another Samsung. I have run GPS test side by side and the G2X never gets anything below a full green par and 6.1 foot accuracy, and this SGSII took alot longer to get to the 6.1 foot accuracy and didnt lock onto half of the satellites the G2X did and the signal strength was less than half. Aside from GPS I think the SGSII wins in every catagory, it takes amazing phones, I just wish with this huge 4.53" screen that the resolution was better but its hardly noticeable.
I was going to hold out for T-mobiles variant of the SGSII but it doesnt have the Exynos and I was never going to see the 42Mbps ever around here anyways so I had enough of not using internet without wifi. I also kind of wanted to see what teh Nexus Prime was going to be like but it seems like every phone that ever comes out has some sort of huge problem with it especially the G2X and first gen galaxy S phones. And who knows if the Prime is going to have some sort of defect. There are no major hardware problems reported of the SGSII so far and thats all that mattered to me. It has everything I need. I would assume there is going to be ALOT of support for this new device since all the first gen EVO people are probably getting an upgrade soon and want it and there have boon tons of people coming from the Evo 3D because well.. that device blows.
Well it seems that all of samsungs new phones are based off of the galaxy s design in some way or another so you would have to think that with each iteration it gets better. I'm sure the prime will be a beast of a phone. I felt the nexus s was outdated before it even launched

Yeah their insurance is WAAAAAY better too. I highly suggest it. Its like $2 more than sprints but i can smash the phone weekly without question and they will replace it with no deductible no questions asked.. now that I think about it HAHAHAHAHA I gave them my G2X with MIUI running on it, they never even bothered to check it while i was in the store. They probably messed around withit thinking it was some phone from the future. I miss MIUI Touchwiz sucks.
My main reason for dumping Sprint was because in summer of 2010, I got 2mbps on evdo, in August 2011 I was slower than edge. The 10 dollar fee didnt bother me too bad, but then they took away my yearly phone subsidy. This broke the straw.

Not to be an a$$, but did you research sprint lately? They've made tons of changes to their policies and terms. Not to mention, their network took a big hit with alltell (I think it was theirs) towers being sold off. Their 4g partner clearwire is courting other carriers, and their new 4g partner is having trouble clearing the FCC.
There's been a lot of people leaving lately! I'm sure this can be found with most carriers, but sprint doesn't have anything concrete for the future!
GL! Hope all goes well for you!

maybe they need to make room for the WHITE skyrocket.
http://pocketnow.com/android/att-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-pictured-in-white-image
YES, just saw this on engadget and ordered myself up a shiny new Skyrocket! It'll be a huge upgrade over my Nexus One. I'd been hoping for the Galaxy Nexus on AT&T, but that'll likely be $250-$300 on contract... too hard to pass up $0.01.
The deal works great for me since I've ported my number to google voice, I can easily add a new line and the new phone number doesn't matter since I just point GV to the new number. My current line is out of contract so I just cancel it when the skyrocket arrives and I should only be out the penny!
yup returning mine under BRE as soon as the amazon one comes in
That's one cent too much for what that phone's worth. Meaning if you can't use LTE why bother. Might as well get the regular S2.
I jumped on the penny deal from amazon to pick up an ATT one.
I didn't opt for the wireless tethering/hotspot hoping that I can root and get the Wireless Tether App running correctly.
*cross fingers*
Ordered mine last night. Can't wait to get my hands on this beast

I guess there's no trick to getting around the requirement that you be a new customer or add a new line?
I've been with AT&T for 10 years and have 3 lines with them. You'd think they'd reward loyalty more.

Anyway, I just ordered one today!!! They moved the shipping up to one day instead of 2 day for free I guess considering Thursday is Thanksgiving.

This right here ^
Ordered mine yesterday. Will be here today. Only worried I keep hearing that samsung's in house SoC is better and this won't get much in ROM support.
The size, fact that I'll have a LTE phone when it's here & the price sold me though
Samsung's SoC is better but Qualcomm has a better radio. What's more important to you?
The radio, I live in a area that is quick to get network updates so I'm sure LTE will be here sooner than later
Ordered two of these a couple days ago! Bigger screen and faster processor than the standard S II! Just got them an hour ago, at the doc with my wife right now. Tried setting them up but data won't work, gotta take them to a store after the doc. They are fast! I won't miss my inspire haha

The UPS guy just dropped mine off an hour ago and I am already in love with it. The large screen is drop dead beautiful and it's incredibly fluid...despite comments that it's laggy (though, all phones get laggy at some point, I just think most of those came from people that were s2 processor snobs ).
I am coming from an iPhone 4 but I'm already pleased with this beast (still love my iPhone and iOS but that's another story but I've always loved both operating systems -Android/iOS-). Can't wait to fully enjoy it and set it up however I want/need.

Who says that you cannot use LTE? I live in the Bay area which does not have LTE (will be here next year) but I was in Chicago recently that had blazing LTE speeds. Yes, AT&Ts LTE network is thin right now but it would not be so by the end of 2012

That sucks. I didn't order my Skyrocket from Amazon until 3:30pm yesterday and I already got it today around the same time.
I started a new AT&T account on around Aug 12th or so. For the 1st time in my life they didn't ask me for a deposit. They sent me 2 refurb phones the next day. I had the phones in hand & using them My wife & I decided on Aug 20th we wanted to port our Straight Talk numbers over. I called the Porting department & they had to send new Sim cards because AT&T & ST are so intertwined. They said my 1st bill might double because the system may think I reordered again, but it would go away. I made my first months payment on 8-30. I tried tonight to buy the Note 3 online. The system said I have this past due amount and it has to be taken care of first. I got online chat for billing help. The lady said tonight said they added a $445 deposit on my acct. She said the payment I made went on the deposit & not on the bill. She even said that I called in on 8-20 asking for the deposit to be waived. I told her no that I called that day to port our two numbers. I told her I haven't heard of a deposit till she told me.
I'm going to call in tomorrow during regular business hours to see what can be done. Has anyone else ever had any issues like this?
It sounds weird, because a deposit usually must be paid before service even starts, not at first billing. Kinda defeats the purpose of a deposit. I would ask them what day the deposit amount was assessed to the account. If it was added the day you inquired about porting, inquire why it was added a week post service, and how service was even started without it.
I have been with AT&T for 11 years, and never have any billing issues. In fact, they always waive my upgrade fees.
Have had ATT for 2 years and if I customer service is what I paid for it has been worth it.I always get what I want when I call them.have had 4 pushed upgrades and never had to b nasty to get them.

Update: I got a hold of a guy named Rusty with AT&T today. He was super. My credit was good enough to get up to 3 lines without a deposit. When we ported our 2 ST numbers over; the AT&T system saw 4 numbers which automatically kicked in a $445 deposit. Rusty said it should be remedied by Monday. He's going to check it Mon morning & call me back. He asked me if I was satisfied with today's service & I said I give it an A+
I agree. I've had nothing but good things to say about Att. Always call those online people are kinda slow at helping.

Good to hear you got it all fixed up.
i think att is wonderful. My phone had been stolen last thursday and i called in to get my phone blacklisted. The CSR offered to give me an override upgrade even when I wasnt eligible for one. Now that is customer service!
Once per month. When I pay the bill.
You should be good. I've had AT&T for 17yrs. (AT&T>Cingular>AT&T) I've never really been disappointed w/them.
Conversations & dialogue have gotten a little "interesting" on occasion with my grandfathered unlimited data, but all ended well.
I personally think their customer service is pretty d*mn good!! :good:

Att and verizon know they can screw any and all of their consumers. why cause they know sprint and tmo has horrendous 4g lte coverage and they are like almost taunting you to switch to sprint and tmo cause they know you will be crawling back for their lte coverage.
All I can say is Att has been great to me. A rep told me if you pay your bill on time every month they consider you a premium customer and they will go out their way to help you. I pay my bill on the 5 of the month although its done on the 22nd. This has gotten me early upgrades big credits to my accounts and free stuff.
