If you're in the States, jump on this! Grabbed a neo + 2 filler accessories and paid 170 after tax. Ship free 2-4 days. I think the Gear 2 comes out to 230ish before tax.

I take it you have to order three accessories to get the discount, but where are you seeing the discount, or is there a code to enter?
I don't see anything about this on their web page: https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/appcessories.html

It was automatic for me after adding 3 accessories, no code needed. I added 2 5 dollar accessories to the order.
thank you so much! I got it to go through and saved $100 with the accessories i selected. I wonder how long before ATT catches on!
I am interested in the black Gear 2 but it and the orange one are out of stock. Only the gold one shows to be available.
Works good I have the black already but the gold one was only thing available so bought one also. Might just sell it or return it. But I do not see the bands no where must be waiting on to see how many they sell to promote the color bands
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Confirmed working, now tempted to get this watch for the same price as a used Gear 1...
But will there be any development?
I don't just want a watch, I WANT A TOY, lol.
And XDA is my hobby
It works ! Got my Gear 2 Neo yesterday and ordered Gear 2 for extra 25 bucks than the Neo.
They appear to have to in black, too

It did work for me to when I checked the cart. Gear 2 at $75 off would have been great, but I already ordered mine at $50 off when we ordered a S5 for my son. He is getting Galaxy Gear 1 that i have had since October. Love the original and have high hopes for development of new Gear 2.
SWEET!
just ordered mine, gold was the only one available, plus two 5 dollar wall chargers for a whopping 150.
Nice find and thanks for sharing!:laugh:
Anyone got canceled ? They canceled my Gear 2 Gold Brown because they are unable to verify my information ????? I don't get it. Reordered and waiting
To kcttocs: did you mean $250? The savings on the Gear 2 at 25% is $75, so the lowest price of the watch itself would be $225. They seem to be honoring this; I never got an order confirmation but I did get a note saying the order is processing, and the online status shows the same. It looks like the gold brown watches are starting to become available; T-Mobile's site shows them available, though Samsung, AT&T, and Best Buy still show "coming soon" or a shipment date of a couple weeks out.

Thank you so much for this info! I went to bestbuy which is where I got my gear 2, and showed them a screenshot of a possible order from at&t showing the 25% off. They didn't even notice about the filler accessories and refunded me $77.65! Then when I left the store someone offered me $145.00 for my Galaxy Gear 1! That brings the cost of my new watch down to $92 which includes tax. Not bad for something released just this week! I am too happy! Thanks again!

Mine hasn't been cancelled (yet?). I ordered last night around midnight and got a message at 9:30am today saying my order had been processed. Ironically it says "your order cannot be changed or canceled at this time" - so we'll see what happens. If you're placing a lot of orders they may suspect fraud; if you search online there are a number of people complaining about AT&T order cancellations with no resolution. I suspect it's a security issue - possible reasons could include mistyping your credit card/billing details, having an IP address generated from a datacenter (if you're using a proxy), or credit card declined.
Thanks for the tip, might have to check it out!
Any idea when this deal will expire? Online chat says they should have more black Gear 2s in 5-7 days.

Same thing here, I called 611, they said something was input incorrectly and I needed to go to an AT&T store to validate who I am. What a croc! so I drive to the store, they don't have a clue and suggested I call in and then they will validate I am me, then they tell the store clerk to order it for me, the store clerk says they don't know anything about the discount and can't help me and advise me to go back online and do it again. Seriously why even drive to the store, total run around. The catch I think is because I am an employee, when I log into my account it takes me to the premier website and the discount is not there, but if I don't log in and order from AT&T the discount is there. Maybe I need to not give my phone# and e-mail that's on my account. If I get cancelled a second time that's going to be my method. I even used a different credit card just incase my card denied for some reason or another fraud alert or something.
And I originally said I ordered for 150, my mistake, it was about 250...

Did they charge your card? Mine has been cancelled 2 times. But first time I was logged in and I show balance due (its with collection dept) and second time i think they used my shipping address as my billing. Trying again.

Curious, I was forced to use my billing address for my shipping address when ordering and there was no other option because the online store said it was a security issue. Maybe this is what happened with the verification issues?
Set to receive mines today, it'll be here whenever the mail carrier drops it off. Will come back to update once officially received.

You have to login and click UPGRADE now instead of this link now! Then choose the thunderbolt! I use firefox and it still shows these prices, but it might be because I didn't clear my cookies. I cleared my cookies in IE and it didn't show the prices I mentioned before unless you go to My Verizon home and click Upgrade phone under my Device.
I ordered it 1 year for $229
They have 2 year for $200
They were showing the full price as $449 earlier, but now it shows $600 for me
But at this time the 1 year and 2 year prices are as I stated above in firefox and IE
YOU MUST LOGIN TO SEE PRICE!

I did. Chose to upgrade my phone, $249.99 2yr. Think I'll just hit up the local store instead.
I got the same deal, I was on the phone with a VZW rep and she said she didn't know why I got the price I did.... She couldn't match it from her side, so I went ahead and ordered the phone online.
I was able to order through my company web portal this morning. Got it on a 1 year for $229.99. Showed up as $319 on the general public VZW page though.
The difference would probably be if your due for your NE2. purchased mine for $229 / 1 yr contract. This line WAS due for it
Btw: my price came up at $149 for a 2 yr contract. Guessing this is my last $50 from them though

Awesome!
It still shows in both places for me with firefox when I login, I had to do the login stuff and upgrade phone with IE
it only shows this if you get a discount through a job
im getting my for 50 dollars but i just looked anywayz , says 249 for 2 yrs & 319 for 1 one for me
I got in for the $199 for 2 years
Do you guys think value wise its more worth it to go with the 1yr at 229 since you'd be up for another subsidized phone price in a year? My employer's vzw site has the 229 1yr active.. should I do it? Currently my order is placed with amazon for $180 shipped (no sales tax which is another 40 dollars in savings), but I have to wait till Monday to get it
Thoughts? Thanks!
The other thing is that after a year, I seriously doubt ulimited LTE will still be 30/month so I feel like the 1 year kinda could screw you?
Says my order shipped, but shows no tracking yet!
i tried going through my verizon account online and selecting the upgrade option, still showed the $249 for the 2 year contract.
but then i tried my employer's portal to the verizon store online and got the $229/1 year and $199/2 year contract prices. guess for whatever reason my account isn't fully synced to show my employer's affiliation. hmmm this could be a good way to get the tbolt for cheap.....i think i'll go check one out in person at verizon and then decide.
Do you guys think that after 1 year when you have to sign a new contract... will you still be able to pay the $30 unlimited lte? hmmm crapshoot

Hi guys, how are you doing?
Excuse me for my English
I've HTC Incredible S, I bought it from UK before a year ago.
I'm in US right now and get a simcard from At&T and paid for the Data plan but unfortunately it doesn't work!
the seller told me it should be American phone or from At&T :/
So, If I bought the Samsung Galaxy S II SkyRocket from eBay or Amazon, will it work perfectly and the data plan will work or not?!
(because I've found it from ebay $205)
I hope I can an answer for this question
Amjad
The HTC Incredible S should work with the AT&T sim. Did you take it to a AT&T store? They probably have to adjust your settings for you to use it.
If you get the Skyrocket, make sure its an AT&T version.
my Incredible S work perfect with AT&T but the data plan doesn't work because the seller told me (the phone must be from America or from AT&T) :/
So, because of that I'm asking, If I bought the Galaxy S II Skyrocket AT&T (at&t logo on the phone) from eBay, will the data plan will work or not?!
I want to change my phone because of the Data plan. I need Internet in my phone everywhere I go.
Yes the skyrocket will work on at&t its an at&t phone
I'm sorry I didn't reply to you silver03wrx
So, did you recommend me to buy it from ebay? (Here is the link)
because it's cheaper than the store + in the store I must bay $500 deposit :/
Q: If I bay the phone from the link, How much will I bay monthly?
I hope you understand me
and I hope you can help me
Depends on what phone plan you go with. Most plans for just 1 smart phone will cost around $80 to $100.
It all depends on how many minutes you want and how much internet you want (200mb or 2gb).
Just to let you know, that link you posted requires a contract. So you would likely still need a deposit to get it.
Sent from my páhhōniē
Yeah, if I bought it I'll bay monthly around $85.

Oh no, Is there anyway can I get the phone without a deposit?!
I have $250 (the phone price) but cannot bay for the deposit
any other websites you suggest for me to buy the phone...
Check out www.ebay.com. To get a brand new smart phone like the skyrocket you'll be likely paying at least $400. You may want to think about getting a less expensive phone for your price range.

On your incredible s all you have to do is input the at&t apn settings manually to pick up data and mms

Q: I've see the new Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket in eBay, this is the link
They wrote "Early Termination Fee $325". What does it mean?
+
I complete every thing, like chosen New Customer and Individual (24-Month) and I've choose the plan (Nation Talk Individual - 450), DataPro 2GB and Messaging Unlimited
before I checkout, in table there are:
1/ One Time Charges* = $36.00
*One time activation fees applied to your first month's bill only.
Q: Does it mean that I'll pay for this just one time?
Q: when I should pay for it?
--
2/Monthly Charges† = $84.99
†These items will be billed by your carrier and do not include all fees, taxes and surcharges.
Q: Does it mean that this is my bill each month?!
When I click Next and wrote my address info, in the last there are:
NOTE: Early Termination Fee of up to $325.00 may apply.
Q: What does it mean?
Q: Will I going to pay or give them the $325.00 or what?
But in the last they ask me for the Social Security and I don't have one! I just have an US ID card.
I hope you can answer the questions, and forgive me if it's long questions
last question: What if someone (American person) give me his/her Social Security number to put it in the website to buy the phone. What will happen?!
Thank you for helping me, and i'm sorry to take your time
1) Early Termination fees apply when you cancel ur plan before it expires. Like if you cancel ur phone line within next 24 months att will charge you fees up to $325.
2) $36 You will pay only one time. You have to pay when you get new plan.
3)$84.99+tax is ur monthly bill.
4)If you use someone's social than you will need to get their info. Their info will be used instead of urs.

If you pre-ordered from T-mobile, have you gotten your gear vr yet? did you get an ETA on your delivery/shipping from samsung? how long if so?
Thanks
I preordered my phone from t mobile and got it this Monday. But to redeem the GR you need to go here and type your email. But since the phone isn't officially out yet I think that you have to wait until the 4th
As far as i know you can register your device to get the preorder reward a free gear VR. On the t-mobile homepage they give the info that you can register from o8.o3.2o16 until 28.o3.2016.
Gonna try to register mine once i've stopped to smile , arrived about 5 hours ago :laugh:
I pre-ordered mine and got it on the 3rd. i immediately went to samsungs promo page and registered there. got an email saying that it'll take 4-6 weeks for review.

Yeah that. Pre-ordered mine on 2/26 and got it 3/3 as well.
Pre-Ordered on 02/23 & got mine on 03/01.. Registration was not open until the 3rd for the Gear VR so I did my redemption on the 3rd & am waiting for my 4-6 weeks to pass.
I've been trying to pre order (and buy the phone out right, full price). Since making this thread. 3 days now
I've had nothing but problems, they will not/can't ****ing sell me/upgrade me the phone at full price? WTF. 2 different stores, i give my info they select the free 2 day shipping, blah blah blah, do you agree to this price, blah blah.. SUBMIT.
it charges me 24.99 for shipping and i'm like you selected free shipping. They call customer care and get transferred literally like 6 times at each store, both reps give up and told me to call. I said forget it, i'll pay the 24.99 idc just submit my order. The order gets submitted, then error shipping delay *continue with order?* yes.... error card declined, 4 different cards later, all declined..bruh my accounts stay full and my cards have a limit higher than the cost of this phone...
the lady behind me pre ordered on their monthly phone payment plan and her card went right through no problem. I even called my bank and had them verify my account could handle a huge charge, even told them where i was, what i was doing..still got declined. The bank rep said they would be able to see any declined transactions in the system no matter what, and nothing has shown up as declined on their end, so it must be a connection issue with t-mobile....so i just left
I call customer care myself, get transferred 4 times, they take my info over the phone.. ^ all that happens again.
why is it so gah damn difficult for me to say HEY TAKE MY MONEY!!!!! and them say HERE'S A NEW PHONE. WTMF?!
any of you work for T-mobile? get at me cuz this is major major bs.

Here's an idea...not ideal, but may work. The free shipping may only be with device payments. That being said, there's nothing that says you can't pay off the EIP the first couple days after you get the phone and the EIP shows on your account. I know that doesn't necessarily fix any issues with the CC and their billing, but perhaps in the week or two between now and when the EIP shows, their system will allow the CC to go through?
I don't work at T-Mob, so I can't speak for what is going on. Just figured I'd chuck in my $0.02
I pre-ordered mine 2/23 and got it 2/29.
UPDATE:
I called today and gave it another shot, good ole Kyle at T-mobile helped me out more than anyone else thus far. I'm on that $30 prepaid plan everyone wants on T-mobile. Ultimately Kyle told me to just start a new line of service, pay $50 for a no credit check line, order the phone and cancel service. So that's what we did, I basically just paid $50 more than the total cost of the phones full price, got a brand new line and completed my order and got free overnight shipping (although it's Sunday I'm sure it will still take 2-3 days which I'm cool with). I will probably keep that line active for a month/30 days just to make sure I get my promotional gifts. Then I'll cancel service on that line. As a protection against any future BS, I recorded that phone call and made sure specific questions were answered like no $200 ETF, or any ETF at all, My # won't change and so forth. This guy was much more helpful than previous reps. So, Kyle if you ever read this...thanks man!
TLDR:
If you're prepaid you'll need to go post-paid if you want to pre-order the galaxy S7.
I'll update this again if anything else happens and or when I get my gear vr and free netflix.
Got my phone today!
However, I didn't get a receipt in the package. The only receipt I got was in my email when I purchased the phone. How the hell do I submit that to complete the promotion registration? Screen shot the section that has my name and how much I paid and attach it? Is that what you guys did?
also, will samsung be the ones delivering the netflix code?

Newegg.ca was carrying some stock this morning, but an hour later they were sold out. Any other online retailer carrying this phone? I don't want to get the one from B&H as there will be customs and duties charged on an already pricey phone.
Finally made up my mind after reading some reviews this morning (I was considering the Pixel XL - I have a Nexus 6 currently), however I prefer the slightly bigger screen and replaceable battery on the V20 (I consider the rest of the features equivalent for my purposes). Found a couple on newegg.ca, but got distracted on a conference call, when I got back to the site, they were sold out....
Haven't seen it either. There is a tiny shop in Vancouver that appears to be selling it for $1300 but their website looks like its from 1999.
If we can buy the Tmobile variant with the $200 rebate it will be cheaper than buying it in Canada at any point in history I believe.

B&H you can order, get a tablet, and some headphones. Of course you need a place to ship in the USA to pick up or use something like skypax or w/e.

Just remember that if you buy the T-Mobile phone you have to use it on their network for 40 days before getting it unlocked. Do NOT expect to get it unlocked from a 3rd party site. It won't work. I went down this road with the v10 and it is not a pleasant experience.

Probably a better choice to just buy the B&H variant then, you get free headphones, free tablet, and an unlocked phone. I thought t-mobile was all unlocked phones, the uncarrier.

You won't be disappointed,virtually no 3rd party bloat (facebook can be disabled),as most of the T-Mobile garbage can be disabled as well.
It's a nice phone,root/de-bloat/ROMS will make it even better,my Note 7 is fast becoming a faded memory...................

Good to see you in the neighborhood @markbencze
I've had success with this service,as recent as this year,with unlocking the HTC 10 & M9 before the 40 days is up (still under device contracts as well) :

https://www.unlockbase.com/phone-unlocking-service/tmobile-device-unlock-app-official-unlock/

I just got the order confirmation:
As T-Mobile is different from other carriers,the usual 3rd party unlock codes DO NOT WORK,methods that are specific to T-Mobile's Device Unlock App are the only ones that will work w/current/newer T-Mobile phones.
Basically,if the phone comes with the Device Unlock app,you have to use the method specific for devices with that app:
Here's another example of what I'm talking about,from another supplier:
https://www.masterunlockcode.com/lg-u-s-a-t-mobile-unlock-via-[unlocking-app]-lg-v20-unlock-code-np-2383-21613
Yeah,it's expensive,all unlock services are with brand new devices,the prices do drop relatively soon.
The one I used in my previous post is $15 less expensive than this one,there's probably others out there,just pick one you like.
Again,my order should deliver mid-week,so,I'll post my results,perhaps save you some trouble should the unlock request be unsuccessful.
FWIW,the service I used has a money back guarantee,just follow the links I posted & follow the instructions in the correspondence after the order & you should be good to go.
Another BTW,I am a T-Mobile US customer with the T-Mobile variant of the V20,financed via JOD.
This shouldn't have any bearing on the success/failure on the unlock request,just a BTW. :good:
Well I used 3 different unlock site for my v10 and all 3 refunded me because of changes to the tmo device unlock app they couldn't do it anymore. Feel free to try but what I had to do was buy a prepaid birth American roaming plan for $50 usd a month and use it for over 40 days so it cost me $100 usd and then after 40 days send a ton of unlock requests. Finally after going through a ton of hours of tech support I got ahold of a lady in the vice president office who was able to grant the unlock. I posted the ladies info in the v10 and g5 forums somewhere in one of the several "unlock help" threads. It is a known problem for people who bought tmo devices hoping to use on other networks. So you've all been warned to prepare for a painful ordeal. Who knows maybe you get lucky.
What's B&H ?
Oh and what has my interest is the LG theme system. I've got my hands on the black and gold theme apk and took a peak at it. I'm gonna try and modify it slightly and get someone to test to see if it will install and be accessible like their other themes. If that's the case then I can make themes for it without issue. Unlike samscum who's themes don't install like a normal apk. That's gonna be the deciding factor if I get one of these or not

I've used UNLOCK BASE in the past without issue & they do offer a guarantee,I used PayPal to check out,so,I'm not out any $$ for 14 days.
Should it not work,a call to PayPal will cancel the payment/transaction within minutes,so,virtually risk-free.
I know that's of little consolation for those on another network & paying for a device full price with usability still in question.
That's why I'm giving it a shot with this phone/service,it's the least I could do to help out the community.
I'll keep y'all posted

The B&H phone has the same model number as the t mobile one from what I can tell. And in general, are there android phones that are not carrier locked but have locked boot loaders?

I don't want to deal with the customs/duties etc and would rather wait till I can get it from a Canadian site like newegg.ca. I've been burned too many times with customs/duties and its a hassle driving down to Buffalo to get the phone - working too many hours these days.
Surely there's got to be more than one retailer selling the phone in Canada?

Wow that's awesome. Maybe they figured out a way to bypass the unlock app. That would be excellent if they did. Happy you didn't have to experience what I and other suffered through

I've used this exact same service for at least 3 T-Mobile devices with the Device Unlock app & have never had an issue whatsoever.
One big BTW:
This has to be performed on an unrooted device,however,once unrooted (which I had to do on one of my phones), the service works as intended.
Re-rooting the device has no effect on SIM Unlock status afterwards.(I'm certain most are aware of this, but, just putting it out there, since this T-Mobile Device Unlock app & 3rd party unlock method is new to a lot of users everywhere). :good:

I wonder if Wind would sell me one - I'm with Fido.
Hello all!
Let's chat while we wait!
I ordered mine minutes after pre-orders started. Ordered the blue!
Thanks!
Ordered blk for me and blue for the wife.
Ordered Lilac for the wife.
Not going to pre order just yet. For one I don't think it's right to have to pay a down payment with JOD. I paid 0 down with the IPhone X because I was well qualified and had been with Tmobile for more that 3 years. Now they want a down payment. Uhhhh no. Also last year after the Note 8 preorders were over Samsung/Tmobile ran a promotion where if you bought the Note 8 you received 40000 Samsung rewards points which you could redeem for a $200 Samsung rewards visa.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
Strange they're going back to a down payment up front for JOD upgrades to the + model. I had to do that with the S7 Edge, Note 7, and S8+, but then with the Note 8, V30, iPhone X there was no Down Payment for JOD, just rolled it into a higher monthly payment. LOL i didn't feel like paying the $120 so just went with the smaller s9 and in a month or two if i change my mind i'll upgrade to the s9+ and pay whatever the rate is at that time. I went with the purple since it'll be in a case and nobody will see it anyway. My wife thought it was "Pretty".
Yea I had the rep verify with management about the down payment and yep 120.00. So even if you’re planning on keeping till the note 9 in september that still equates to 20/mo so all in all you’re paying 50/mo. But i’m stupid and paid it anyway.

I just bought 2 from Samsung a purple one for the wifey and black one for myself. Now just waiting for them to start shipping them out
Ordered at 12:02am 1 Black S9+ for 50% off!

Same here, that's why i didn't get the iphone 8/+/X last year ($274 down) but they only wanted $120 down for the 64 gb version of the S9+. Paying $670 for the total.
I actually forgot about preorders and ended up ordering mine over 50 minutes after they went live. Order the black version. I was considering getting something other than black for the first time in a long time but didn't care for the blue or purple. I made the right choice. I went to best buy today to play with the demo units and none of the colors look that good. The blue wasn't as shiny as I thought it'd be and the purple was just...meh. The stereo speakers sounded underwhelming, maybe it was because it was in a giant store. I was hoping they would sound closer to the iPhone stereo speakers but they sounded like a single bottom firing speaker with a stereo speaker mod you'd find on XDA. We'll see when we have our actual phones though.
Preordered a black s9+ while planning on selling my s8+ on Craigslist. Then I saw that even older phones get a $200 trade in credit. I have an old s6 edge laying around doh...
Going to try to cancel my preorder tomorrow and try to reorder with the trade in. I signed an eip so hopefully it's not a pain.

It should not be an issue. I did it before because the rep put in the wrong color. They canceled and reordered even after I signed the dotted line. However, that could just be an exception because it was their error. I doubt it will be an issue though. TMO customer service is spot on. I would recommend doing it over DM with T-Mobile Help on Twitter. That's what I do for EVERYTHING. On second thought, don't. I don't want my wait times to be longer =P
JK, they are AWESOME, FAST and EFFICIENT on Twitter.
Best of Luck,
Tee Jay
Alrighty guys im in a bit of a predicament. I want to pre order the s9+ but I don't know with either Tmobile or Samsung itself. I have an s8+ and if I trade it in with Tmobile, I end up with a $336 down and $6 a month or with Samsung it would be the rest of the full retail price of $480 or the financing of $21 a month. Tmobile is carrier locked and Samsung isn't. Or should I just sell my s8+ somewhere for more? I found a note 4 but it's blacklisted so there goes that one haha
Not sure why everyone is being charged a down payment with the plus model. I pre ordered the blue s9 plus with zero down and 37 a month. With jump on demand.
One person mentioned the blue wasn't that great of a color hope I don't regret not getting black.

Blue looks great, I saw it today at best buy. Black looks kind of plain and it's a fingerprint magnet.
On day one Tmobile was charging a down payment. My guess is sells weren't that great so they came to their senses. O down payment is for well qualified and for those with more then three years with Tmobile. On day one every had to pay the $120. I knew it would change so I waited.

I ordered thru the app with a TMobile rep thru messages. The s9 was 0 down and 30 a month and s9 was 0 down and 37 a month. I chose the plus model for the extra 2 gigs of RAM. I'm trading in my iPhone x which was also 0 down and (I think) 44 a month. All I paid was device taxes of $2.54 and shipping (overnight) with a total of $26.68.
Maybe try thru the app messages next time. Maybe there more up to date with how things work. Dunno,
