I am a USA visitor, am in Washington now. I was in the AT&T store today, was going to buy Captivate off contract and buy AT&T sim with data plan only and use until the end of this summer and then waiting for unlock to use in Russia, but AT&T guys said that they don't sell prepaid sim card with data plans for non-contract PDA phones which is Captivate for $500. I find it absolutely crazy, why then they sell smartphones off contract in this way? For whom? If this phone is full prices when buying it without contract, it is locked with AT&T and it's not even possible to use the internet with an AT&T sim. Well, does T-mobile provide data plans when buying prepaid sim card? Should I wait for unlock and then buy this phone and then connect to T-mobile until this summer? And, well, it's possible for unlock not to arrive so soon
And I heard that there is a Captivate coming to Rogers in the 20th of August, is there any info if it'll come off contract and unlocked(able)? And in this case it is possible for Rogers to send this phone to the New York's hotel, for example?
for data plan only say you have a ipad they will give you a prepaid data plan and you can use it by adjusting some settings
i just got the $20 100MB data plan to use in my captivate. the gophone sim and data work fine.
Don't get the captivate. ATT won't have unlock codes available for a long time.

Yep that's what I was going to suggest. That's your best option. Buy a go phone sim card. Tell them you want the 100mb worth of data and that's it. Pop it into the phone and you will be good to go.
100 mb is probably not enough for me, is it possible to get more with this go plan?
and about captivate, if Rogers starts selling it soon, this phone won't be exclusive and I think there is a great chance to get an unlock code in september for example
If a buy a data plan for iPad, will they give me a micro sim or normal sim? Will it work with captivate for sure?

yes... spend $20 more and get 200MB Also, you can get a sim adaptor if you recieve a micro sim. If you go the ore-paid route, make sure you get the sim from a retail store and not from a gophone kit. I did this and had to get them to swap the sim (for free) to one that works in my new phone. Hope this helps!

You could get the T-Mobile Vibrant at full price (supports Euro 3G on the 2100mhz band for when you go back to Europe, needs unlocking though) and sign up for the Even More Plus Smartphone Unlimited Web & E-mail, no contract, $39.99. Should work.
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/...ven-More-Plus-Smartphone-Unlimited-Web-E-mail
I hate the look of Samsung Vibrant...
Captivate is far better
Is it possible for Rogers to send phone outside Canada? In USA or Russia?
From everything I've seen, they won't ship outside of Canada. Though if you or a friend can go yo Canada, they will sell you one.
Another option is to find someone in Canada willing to buy and ship the phone.
Sent from my Samsung Captivate.
ok, I'll wait 2 weeks in this case and then decide what and when to buy
100 mb data plan suks
hope rogers' captivate will be easy unlockable
[Q] Help! online ordering from Best Buy
I just paid for the Nexus S through Best buy, and now I am afraid that I made a mistake. When I added the phone to my shpping cart, it asked me i I am a T-Mobile contract holder (Which i am not) and I said that I do, which gave me the option to buy the phone at the full price of $529. I am afraid that I am going to receive a LOCKED Nexus S with T-Mobile affiliations and that it's maybe not Sim Free.
Is this the case? If so, how do I order it SIM Free and UNLOCKED Online? The only options on the website was to buy it either for $199 with a T-Mobile contract or to buy it for $529, but again, I am not sure if this is fully unlocked or it is still with a T-Mobile Simcard.

AFAIK they are all unlocked - even the phones sold with T-Mo service.
Will the phone say T-mobile on the phone or connected with it in any way ?
nope, box has a tmobile sim in it but noowhere on the phone does it say tmobile
People at best buy online support are complete fools, they keep saying it's locked, even though twitter and their FAQ say its unlocked.
The whole point of Pure Google phone is that it's unlocked and unbranded
All Nexus S phones are unlocked by default with no carrier branding on the phone or box.
Pricing just varies based on if you want a contract or buying outright.

Well, not everybody have the intelligence required to flip burgers.
Best Buy couldn't even get the ordering live until about 10 minutes late ...
Then I tried to order 3 times; each time I got a vague credit verification error that made no sense.
Plus, they tried to switch me from my $10/mo unlimited 3G data to $10/mo 4G data with a 200MB cap... no thanks.
I was able to order by phone, but the process took over an hour. At least I got to keep my data plan.
Total cost was $250 after taxes and activation fees.
hi folks, is there anyone from from non-US/UK manage to buy a Nexus S>? If yes can let me know how? Especial from Malaysia. Thanks..
i had help from a fellow XDA member in the USA to help me buy one
as all the BestBuy stores were out of stock on the first 2 hours of the release date
make sure your phone operator works with 900/1700/2100 data
I bought two on launch day. The second is unopened. PM me if you want to buy it.
Wow!
I have a G1 and tried to upgrade to the nexus s with my existing 24.99 unlimited G1 data plan. The rep in the store said she was pretty sure I had to upgrade my plan. She said she would try it without upgrading my plan and got almost through the entire process but her system would only allow for the full price option for the phone.
Did you do anything special to get them to let it work with your existing plan??
Thanks

Has anyone actually bought this online?
I'm having problems getting Best Buy's site to let me buy this thing. It keeps getting hung up when I select a plan - just keeps asking me if I currently have T-Mo service and won't let me actually select an answer...
Also, since I'm a new customer, would I be able to sign up for T-Mo's promotional plan (1500+unlimited for 79.99)?
You have to go to the store for starting a new plan.
If just happened that you have an extra unit or you're willing to help me, please PM me. THanks; )

That's ridiculous - there's not a single Best Buy here in TN that will sell it with a plan. I suppose none do T-Mo. And my local store says $529.99 - available at Bestbuy.com for $199.99.
Whose idea was this Best Buy debacle?
your going to have to sign up for t-mobile service online best buy online sells tmobile online. Call there customer service they might be able to help you out.

bonvu.com
never used it so not sure how safe it is, but read that people are using it to purchase what ever they want in the US.
GL,
Some options:
www.ebay.com (in advanced search you can select someone that delivers to your country, offers paypal)
www.usunlocked.com (3rd party site, buys it for you and sends it yo you).
If you buy from the Play Store, you are paying full price (although a VERY good price) for an unsubsidized phone. But Sprint does not give you any break on the plan price, you still pay the same rate as the guy who got his N5 through Sprint for $49. So WHY stay with Sprint? Why not one of the much lower priced Sprint MVNO's? Just asking....
Good Reasons..
The $49 phone will likely be SIM-locked. In addition to getting the ability to use the phone on any GSM network in the world, this would likely increase the resale price in ebay when you get your next phone.
You will not pay the $36 activation with the Play Store phone, further reducing the differential.
Plus, in California, you would have to pay sales tax on the full Sprint retail price of $449, reducing the differential by another $9 or so.
You can buy an Iphone 5s at the subsidized price, never open the box, and sell it on ebay. You will get far more than the differential between the $149 and the $349.
There is absolutely no evidence to support an idea that the Nexus 5 bought through Sprint is sim locked. As to the MVNO question is there an MVNO that has triband access to Sprint?

History often repeats. Sprint has never sold a phone that was SIM unlocked for US use. They have in the past sold some phones that were unlocked for internatioal use, but morw recently they have been sold locked for all GSM networks.
I would bet a signficant sum of money that it will be locked.

The guy at sprint when I was buying the 5c said the sprint Nexus5 will be locked to sprint only. I asked why the price difference for a less desirable phone? He was like, hey, I only work here... I would buy the Nex5 from google if you can afford it.

Guys at the Sprint store have also said in recent days that you can't activiate a phone on Sprint unless it has a Sprint logo.
All I'm saying is Sprint appears to be a new ballgame under Softbank ownership. With the pressures from T-Mobile's new attitude and stodgy attitude of the big gorilla Verizon, don't assume anything about Sprint right now in my opinion.

There are already multiple threads with people getting Sprint SIMs for the Play Store version as well as news reports from reputable sites stating that the Play Store version can be activated on Sprint.
The real question is, how many people who lose their Sprint subsidized Nexus 5 will then pay $449 to Sprint (for a likely locked phone) instead of $349 to Google?

Trade in is $448 (store credit), plus if you buy ANY used game(even one for a dollar).... they will give you 30% more for your trade in. 448 x 1.3 = $582.
Then you just use all that store credit for gift cards. I got all shell gas cards... I spend about 400/month in fuel, so its like pre-paying for my fuel, and using the funds I would have spent on fuel... for my nexus.
I even bought a few used 4s models off craigslist, met at sprint... then traded them in at gamestop for a profit same day.
Beware gamestop has google PLAY gift cards, but they cannot be used for hardware.

This is not true. Only phones you buy from sprint or places representing sprint like best buy and radio shack have activation fees.
Only reason I'm staying with Sprint is due to an employee discount. My second choice would be T-Mobile. Sprint reception in my area isn't really THAT bad. I don't ever get dropped calls. But, the data is slow as balls though, so that's kind of a disappointment. For some reason too, I keep having faith that Sprint will implement LTE in my area (Sacramento) which I've been receiving little bits of. I'm not looking forward to activating my Nexus, though.. Seems like it'll be a pain.

I certainly hope you are right (Some of the Sprint reps usually have no idea what they are talking about).
In the past, I've bought unactivated phones from craigslist, and have had to pay activation fees (but they likely bought it from Sprint in the first place). Hopefully, Google play purchases are exempt from this charge. I'll update this post once I receive and activate my phone later this week.

Sprint is the only carrier that has a tower in the perfect place to penetrate signal where I work (in basement level offices).

Perhaps you live in a state with no sales tax? I'm in California, so the $199 Iphone 5c is actually $271. However, the 30% bonus combined with buying some sort of stored value card is a great idea. Unfortunately, I don't drive a gasolin car, so the Shell cards won't work for me, I'll have to see what else they have in stock.

Yes and no, sales tax only on the amount spent - so like $12.
A friend of mine got all google play gift cards... and because you cant buy hardware with google play credit, he called and got a "one time" refund of his entire play balance in the form of a check. Boom, cash for his Nex5
Ps - got my nex5 yesterday. paranoid to even carry it without a case, still rocking the evo lte...

Good thing you did that when you did. Gamestop is showing only $250 trade in value for a Sprint 32 GB 5C now, which would be only $300 with the 30% bonus.

Because the guy getting his N5 for $49 is joining Sprint as a new customer and porting his/her number to Sprint as well otherwise he is paying $149 not $49 and a $36 one time activation fee as well. Also, this person can only be a new customer once and not everytime. We were all new customers to a carrier at one time and got to benefit from the subsidy model at some point.
I'm not one to play the song and dance of bed-hopping from carrier to carrier every few months or thereabouts. Longetivity sometimes counts, in my case, counts for a lot. Been with the same carrier going on 14 yrs now. Guess what i pay including taxes, ~$58, i get 500 anytime, unlimited N/W @ 7pm, unlimited M2M, unlimited SMS/MMS, unlimited data 3G/LTE, roaming etc.
A plan like this would typically run double, and for the MVNO, you get rationed on the data (which still meets most people's needs anyway).
When new stuff comes out, i can either choose to re-up, get the subsidy price and continue with my plan, or buy the phone outright and continue with my plan. I'm usually never in a hurry to have the cool stuff on day one. For example, rather than re-up for a Note 2 at whatever the 2yr extension price was when it was all the rage (it still is :fingers-crossed: ), i just bought it off CList for 300 mint in box. Either way, in my case, i'm just peachy.

Hey guys,
SO, here is my story. I had a SGS3, but the screen cracked, so I decided to use the money from the rebate to try out an iphone 5. I am unhappy with my iphone after using it for about a year and I would like to change phone asap. I am currently a verizon user and have time left on my contract. I would like to change carriers to straight talk so that I am no longer locked into a contract. I know that T-mobile is offering to pay of ETF's if you switch to their service, so I was planning to try the following. I understand this may not be the most morally right thing to do but it would make me the happiest and save the most money.
1. Switch my number over to an old flip phone (t-mobile requires you to turn in your current phone for market value and buy one of their phones, in order to pay of the ETF)
2. Sell my used iPhone 5 on Swappa (would generate more $ than the $200 t-mobile is offering for it)
3. trade in my old flip phone and have t-mobile pay off ETF of verizon, purchase a t-mobile phone of any value.
4. Sign up for 1 month of a t-mobile plan (as required by the current promo offer to pay off the ETF).
5. Sell the t-mobile phone, unopened, at the price I bought it for, and purchase an unlocked nexus 5 from swappa (using $ from iPhone 5 sale).
6. Sign up for straight talks $45/month plan under AT&T service (I do not get good service from t-mobile or this would not be an issue).
7. pay for 1 month on t-mobile service then cancel t-mobile and only pay for straight talk.
Overall, depending on the sale and purchase price of the phones, i hope that this transaction would only cost me <$100.
iPhone 5 Sale - ~~$400
t-mobile phone - buy and sell for same price
Nexus 5 on swappa - [~~$350 - $400]
pay for one month of unused t-mobile plan - [$30] (cheapest plan available).
Begin straight talk - sim card [$10]
Total - ~~$40
Does this plan seem to make sense? If not does anyone know what I could possibly due to avoid paying $200 in ETF from verizon but still switch to straight talk under AT&T service and get a Nexus 5 instead of an iphone 5?? Thanks!
Does anybody know if you can just buy a Samsung Gear s2 3g straight up with no contract, no service setup etc? I want to buy one and just use it with Bluetooth until I decide I like it enough to sign up for service with my phone provider. (AT&T) Also is there a difference in model # between an AT&T or Tmobile etc?
Buy one from whoever you have coverage with. You may have to initially set up a smartwatch plan, but you can cancel it during the first month. If you payed retail for it you now own it.
You should be able to do that with no problem. You will have to pay the full retail price of $299.00 to be able walk away without enabling the 3G. If you decide to activate it, there will probably be some activation fee as well. Better way to do this IMHO is buy it for $199 and commit to 2 years and if you don't like it return it before your 14 day window.
My 3G version has been working great since I got it.
YMMV
I guess some of my issue, is I have AT&T Unlimited Data Plan which is no longer offered by AT&T. In order to have the Gear S2 on my plan, I have to completely switch to a "shared plan" of which I then have to pick a certain data plan size etc. Its not that I download 60gb a month or something, but I like having the grandfathered unlimited data plan. When I go online to AT&T website there is no option to just buy the phone. They make you sign up for a plan with it, hence the problem. I just wanted to flat out buy it, then see if I want to go with a plan later. Thanks for the replies!
I just went to the store and told them it was going to be a gift. Was done in 8 minutes. They did look up my account and such but did not do anything to my plan.
Nice! An AT&T store? Or AT&T in a Best Buy? Where you located? I called last week and they hadn't gotten any in yet.
I am in Dallas, TX. I got it from AT&T. I have not seen the 3G versions at Best Buy.
Wow! I was thinking of getting the 3G version but if I lose my unlimited plan, then maybe I'll have to rethink. Anybody here got it from AT&T and retain their unlimited plan?

Yeah exactly, why I was thinking for now as a Bluetooth watch, and then later if I want to add the plan, but to lose my unlimited would stick. I think it has to be a share plan, as the watch is an extension of your phone, so they share the data. Not sure though

Hello, I also want to buy a gear s2 3g but no contract and no plans.
You can keep the gear s2 3g without any charges just paying full price (299)
What do I need to then cancel the plan?
Because they do not live in the USA, I will make the purchase over the internet (and a person will bring mo for my country) and then wanted to know how I cancel the plan, it is possible by phone? what documents i need?
Some one kent help?

One is not required to purchase a data plan in order to buy the watch. Just have to pay full price, which is $299. I just walked in an corporate AT&T store & bought it outright.

Just wanted to share my experience with trying to get the 3g version without contract...
It has been a nightmare trying to purchase it in a store- att or bestbuy.
Att wanted to charge me $10 /month for just getting the watch while paying the full price for it...
Then I checked on bestbuy's web site, and saw $349 inactivated device (available for pickup same day), so I went to my local store. Needless to say, I was not allowed to purchase it. Wtf... I knew what the att reps are going to say, so I went straight to the Samsung booth, but the poor sales person still had to ask the att reps for permission to sell the watch.. First they said that fir the watch to work, they have to activate it ... Then I pulled the offer on bestbuy's website for the unactivated device... So, they came back telling me that they are out of stock ... LMAO...IDIOTS..
So, I came home and ordered it online from bestbuy.com, mind that it was telling me that I can pick it up the same day from the same local store that "ran out" of it...
I know that att are hungry for every penny they can get their hands on but thought that bestbuy would be smarter...
Regardless, I hate giving them business after all, but my only reasoning is that I want a watch with mic and speaker function, and if something doesn't work right, I can always go back and return it easily rather than dealing with ebay seller's customer service.
I just hope all works well through BT, cause otherwise I have to get the huawei watch and wait for google to allow the use of the speaker. I have nothing against huawei, just that their watch is not my style and I really like the rotating bezel.

It has been a nightmare trying to purchase it in a store- att or bestbuy.

That's horrible. That's what happens, unfortunately, when dealing with people who are commission-based.
