Hey so I was thinking about preordering from bestbuy but i noticed on their website, they have the unlocked s6 for 750, while verizon has it for 600. What prices have people around here been getting the verizon one for from bestbuy?

They usually can price match Verizon corporate price.
Best Buy on Elston in Chicago was selling pre-orders with included charging dock, but unfortunately, had no 128GB SKUS whatsoever. By the way, does anyone know where we can pre-order off-contract S6 Edge's?

You should be able to pre-order off-contract S6's and S6 Edge's anywhere (carrier stores, carrier website, best buy website, best buy stores)

People are saying that the off-contract prices at Best Buy are $150 more than at VZW, but that certainly wasn't the case for me. See http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/31391i/free_wireless_charger_at_best_buy_for_pre_order/

Yes Best Buy's prices are $150 more than Verizon, however I've heard they're price matching. Seems silly to me, plus you're more likely to get it in your hand sooner if you pre order from verizon

Right. But, if they are price matching (which they were at my location), then I'd rather go with Best Buy and get the free wireless charger, which is $60.
So i did my research and talked to a few bb employee friends and they do not price match off contract pricing. Anyone that says they will is probably just saying that, and they'll most likely give you a hard time when you go on the 10th to pay full price. Of course, you can be an exception though.
Anyways, submit my preorder with vzw and ordered a 20$ wireless charger from amazon.
I questioned a Best Buy employee yesterday to verify my full retail price and questioned the price being $150 more. He assured me they would price match the Verizon "Edge" price which in my case was $699 for the 64GB. He offered to give me a written price quote to avoid any confusion on release day and I took him up on it.
Now obviously there is no guarantee that any of that will prevent them from trying to over charge me when it's released but I feel okay about it.
I also questioned him about the Verizon release date and if they'd have it ON that date. He told me they were planning on an April 10th release date unless they get a "push back" date from a Verizon. He said if that's the case it'll be the same for everyone including Verizon. He said the only thing that would prevent someone from getting a pre-order ON that release date would be a lack of supply. He said this was an issue with the Note 4 but he wasn't sure if it was something they'd have an issue with for the S6.
Again none of this really means anything and it's no guarantee but hopefully it'll provide some comfort for those of us who have already preordered from Best Buy.
Hi Verizon users, does the S6 work for T-Mobile's LTE frequencies? I really want to ditch my Note 4, but I honestly cannot tell because I feel like the bands are lower, but I hear the S6 is unlocked though Verizon. Is this true?
Just letting everyone know that if your getting the 2051 error code that they "VZW/bb" know about lol but don't about"know anything " about. At the last step your billing pass is not you acct login pass. It's the last 4 of you ss. Even though you put your ssss above.
Also beware, do not pay off your edge plan over the phone in order to edge up. You will be in limbo for a month. I was in best buy last Wednesday night to pre order and what I wanted to do was keep my Droid Turbo so I was paying it off completely. At the advice of the person at best buy he told me to call 611 and do the transaction, so I did. The Customer service rep took my payment knowing what I was trying to do and he told me I was good to start a new edge plan. Well no the only way you can pay off your edge plan is to go to a Corp store but no one told me this and now I can't get any phone unless I buy it out right for 30 days.
They could price match verizon corporate price.
This morning I got an email saying my order was delayed until May 7th, then 4 hours later got an email saying my order had shipped. Glad I didn't cancel.
they shippped the wireless charger not the phone......atleast for me.

I went in to pay full price and they told me they could not match Verizon's price. I was told that it was less than their cost. I call B.S. on that but either way, I had then refund my gift card and went and bought it at Verizon.

Said it shipped phone just now, 6 hours after the charger shipped. Looks like Monday or Tuesday for delivery.

I finally got around to logging into Best Buy, it looks like I'm only getting the wireless charger on Monday too. Unlike your later post, my phone still hasn't shipped.
Anyone know when BB will get the gold in? I picked up on 4/10, but 32 white. Really want the gold. Hoping it comes in within the next two weeks.
Bestbuy Sucks
I pre-ordered from bUstbuy. I got an email stating i can pick up my pre-order on 4/10/15. I went by the store to pick up my phone and they said. Verizon is not selling that phone until 4/17.
i argued with the guy for a few minutes and asked why i got the email from their company saying my order was ready for pickup.
He started getting kinda irate about me questioning him. he about yelled at me that Verizon stores are not selling the phone until 4/17......
So i left bUstbuy and went across the street to verizon and picked up my new 64gb white S6.
F- Bustbuy... they'll never get my business again.

What is the least expensive way to purchase the Thunderbolt? I've heard someone mention "phatwallet"? Is that the least expensive route that anyone has found? If so, I'll be ordering tonight.
Its fatwallet.com which you can use to get $25 off wirefly.com to bring it to $175. I did that
do you think best buy will price match the wirefly price?
currently fatwallet then wirefly is the best way.
another way would be talking to a verizon employee, they can impose almost any amount of discount. I was just at the store and even though they are still oblivious to any information regarding the tbolt and if he does have any info, it is most likely wrong, he gave me this discount because he quote unquote couldn't wave this other fee i had prior. so take it as you will, but imma try to squeeze more out of him since I was unable to get the phone form wirefly since i can't renew my contract until june, and i may lose out on the unlimited 4g.

hell no. they wont even price match their original price they showed on the ad.
I've gotten tv's price matched to online sites for more than a 100$ difference...idk i'll try it out on Thursday cause i pre-ordered it and if it doesnt work i'll end up keeping the gift card to use on something else and get it from wirefly...they are usually pretty good about it tho in my experience
I may end up doing this, but I'm going to add a line, wait 30 days and pay the ETF of $350. Ill pay $600, but not $750
It may also be worth to wait and see what Amazon does. Sometimes their phones are cheaper than wirefly.
looks like i was wrong about best buy. they posted up their price online at 250. looks like they were forced too since verizon themselves are selling at 250. I hate you california tax!!!!
i did the wirefly $200 w/ fatwallet $25 cashback preorder last night
you also get a 4GB micro sd card with fatwallet's cashback link, note thats in addition to the 32gb one thatll come with the phone
Cheapest way to buy the HTC Thunderbolt
Wait 4 days and the buy it for $475 cash without a contact on EBay.
Just found it on AmazonWireless
Phone 1: HTC ThunderBolt 4G Android Phone (Verizon Wireless)$ 749.99List Price: Remove $ 179.99Price:
In Stock. Usually ships in 24 hours
http://wireless.amazon.com/HTC-ThunderBolt-Android-Verizon-Wireless/dp/B004M5HB6U/ref=sh_br_ph_1
wirefly is still cheaper. 199-25 for the fatwallet cashback. 175 total
plus using the coupon code you get a free 4gb card
The amazon link is great as I have gift certificates. However, is anyone else having issues choosing a text plan greater than the 500 message plan?
update: sorry for being quick on the trigger. I overlooked the $59 text and talk plan.
I have the Xoom and for some reason its eligible for an upgrade which I can transfer to another line. I am going to transfer the upgrade to my fascinate and then call to cancel the month to month dataplan on my Xoom. Hopefully then I will be able to upgrade to the Thunderbolt for $250.
amazon?
How does Amazon Wireless work? Do they ship the phone unactivated and then we contact verizon to activate and extend contract?They mention the instant carrier discount or something. Seems like a great deal as we have no sales tax on Amazon in NC.
I looked up the $25 coupon code on fat wallet, and clicked through the link to place my order. I also punched in the coupon code they listed for the 4th card, but nowhere on the order screen did it actually show a $25 cash back. Am I missing something?
Edit: Turns out they don't actually discount the order. You receive a rebate check from fatwallet directly.
Is the damn thing showing up on Verizon's site for anyone on the east coast yet? Or any coast for that matter? They said midnight EST. Argh!

I am trying to add lines to a family plan and that is something that does not work> I called them this morning and they said no go. Too bad. Next I'll call Verizon and see what they say.
anyone's wirefly order ship yet?
I went to my local best buy and they price matched Amazonwireless.com's $180 price. Which works perfectly cause Amazon is on back order.
So, now that we know the introductory price is going to be $199 w/ a 2 year contract, I'm wondering how often AT&T drops the price after a few weeks? I know they've got the Sony phone coming out and, I think, another flagship phone from Samsung... who thinks somebody could save $50 or more by waiting a few weeks?
Thanks in advance!

It will be more than a few weeks before the device drops in price. 199 is a great price for this beast. Don't wait. You'll end up waiting a while.
Rabble rabble rabble.
If you're trying to buy it on contract, another option for you
would be amazon or walmart. It wouldn't surprise me if amazon
has it for 149.99$ on contract.
a lot of ppl were expecting this phone to be in the 249-299 price range, including myself. 199 is def a low starting pricepoint and I highly doubt its gonna fall with-in the first 4-6 months. there is no competition for it right now...the sony phone is def not competition, and the galaxy s3 is no where to be found as of yet. wait and def. be sorry
I also would say check with amazon, but i wonder if you get a defective unit can you return it to an at&t store or do you have to go thru amazon

You would probably either have to deal with HTC directly (RMA process) or go to an AT&T device center. I have a device center near where I live in the Seattle area, and I got my Captivate swapped out there twice with no delays and no hassle.

Yeah when my cappy crapped on me, I had to send it off to TX somewhere but on a side note they did send me a replacement first.
Personally I would wait. 199$ is cheap. but a few weeks down Costco, Walmart etc. those places dive those prices.. If you shop smart you'll linger around slickdeals or fatwallet and watch these phones drop to 99$ or 150$ quick.
I recall when the skyrocket came out it was what.. 250? My cousin got it for 79$ only 1 month in. It's really up to you
Good info! Thanks guys. I'm totally happy with the $200 price tag, but I won't be as happy if I see it for $150 a few weeks later. Good thinking about trying Costco, Walmart, and Amazon! I doubt I'll be able to wait long to get it - like most I'm pretty excited!
Thanks again!

I work for the "better" wholesale club...the list or place holder price in the system is 249...but I'm sure it'll drop to 149 with instant coupon. Radio shack has it for 149 pre sale starting on the 22nd.

It's actually surprising low considering the GN is still $299 on VZW and T-Mobile's selling the One S for $199 ($249 pre-rebate). The GN will be $199 on Sprint but you'll have to wait a year for a network to use it on.
For reference, in the UK they sell for:
$649 - One X
$585 - GN
$560 - One S
So at $199 either AT&T, HTC, or both really want to move some phones.

You are comparing unsubsidized UK pricing with AT&T's subsidized price. The One X is free on UK's T-Mobile, with a 2-year contract:

Don't have to wait for a price drop
You actually don't have to wait for a price drop, it already has at Target Mobile and Radioshack. They are offering $50 instant rebate off of all preorders.

The point was to show what the phones are worth based on their retail selling price. The most expensive phone (HOX) is being sold at the lowest subsidized price.

Gotcha. I was a bit confused because you stated subsidized and unsubsidized prices, without indicating which was which. But now I see your point, thanks for clarifying.
Hi,
Can people post the best places as far as bonus deals or discounts, where to order the GS6 from?
I'm upgrade eligible on my Verizon More everything plan (I want to lock into a new 2 year contract) is there any site that will offer the phone for less than $199? (or rather less than $299 for the 64gb model?) or at least bundle with it some free accessories?
(a few years ago I bought my GS3 from Amazon wireless for $50 less than VZW.com, but haven't come across any sites offering discounts for the GS6 yet)

Um, maybe Sam's Club?
Go directly through Verizon. They have a $100 trade in credit when you are buying the gs6 when you trade in any good working condition smartphone. $150 for the gs4, & $200 for the GS5. They also have a promo on the Galaxy tab S, and some gear watch, don't recall which one.
Best Buy is giving away a Samsung Qi wireless charger with the phone right now. Plus they have the same trade-in offer as Verizon, but it's in the form of a Best Buy gift card.
I ordered from Costco and they had a $30 gift card but it ended yesterday. That almost covers upgrade charge. I can wait until next week to get the phone.
Here's the amazing deal I just got from Verizon. Try to follow along. Verizon has this "edge" program, where you sign a 2 year contract and can pay for the phone monthly over two years. The gs6 is $600 so it'd be 25 bucks a month. The kicker; they give you 25 bucks off your phone bill each month if you get the 6 gb plan (which is currently the same price for a 4gb plan). So I paid the tax on the phone and walked out of the store basically never paying for it again. On top of that, the rep told me to bring my w2 in and I'll get a 20% monthly discount for working in a hospital. Ask what other discounts they might have!
Verizon GS6
I messed up and didnt order one at release, now im wanting it pretty bad.
Anyone having luck finding it in the US? I have read reports from several people that some 3rd party vendors that are shipping from Korea are shipping out international version ( no samsung pay, right? ) so I'd like to avoid that.
Frys Electronics shows it available for shipping first week of Jan.
Id prefer to go through Best buy or amazon, anyone have some insider info on them? Customer support has zero info.

I was able to find it at Best Buy.
I had the same problem. Couldn't find it anywhere, finally I took a chance, and went to craigslist, saw one going for $200 no box, I asked the guy if the charger came with it, he said yes. I took the chance, went for it, and it's just the watch, with the charger, (no cable or power block) but for $200 it's not bad. I factory reset it before I did anything, so far so good, everything works, Samsung pay works.
Best buy
None of the best buys in my area or anaheim, ca or las vegas have them in stock. The best my local best buy was able to do for me is give me a 10% off coupon ad they couldn't even let me place an order to secure the 299 price.
Been keeping an eye on Craigslist too, thank you guys!

Aww snap! Thanks for that! I was at bestbuy not less then 2 hours ago and they were showing none. Anywhere. Ordering!
I Also got mine from Bestbuy about a week ago, but they were out of all the Bluetooth only editions. I ended up convincing them to sell me an ATT version for the same price and I'm just using it as Bluetooth only. Seems they are out of stock just about everywhere..
I ended up getting two shipped out. One came in today and the bezel clinks quite a bit. Going to see how it compares to the one arriving tomorrow.
Found one under my Christmas Tree. :good:
I just bought one today from my local Best Buy. No Best Buy locally had them until yesterday. Per the manager I bought mine from, they had a shipment of them come in yesterday. They only got 4. There was only 1 not ordered online that was available for anyone to walk in and buy. They didn't have a demo unit on the floor.
AT&T has a special if you upgrade a line, you can get the S3 for 50 bucks...just did it myself. Doesn't have to be the Flagship, either...any Galaxy phone.
Just walked into my local best buy today and they had one left. It was $350 though. They said they will price match until the 15th of January so hoping it goes on sale! Either that or Verizon announces they are getting a LTE model and I'm returning this one asap
Picked one up, the last one, at my local Best Buy. It was $350 but I was able to use a one time 10% discount. Came out to $337. A few bucks more than with tax on the sale price. Ordered from Samsung 3 weeks now and still no updates. Cancelled that order.
whoever is looking, I use this site to stalk the stock of the main website/stores to find most things and the watch was one of them. It even says at this exact moment amazon has them in stock

None of my Best buys stores in the Bay area has it in stock. Starting hitting craigslist and picked one up for $220, like new in box with all accessories and the receipt from Amazon. Can't express how much more comfortable this is compared to my S2.
They have alot in the Fort Worth Texas areas

Man i have had the same luck with Samsung. I ordered during the christmas sale and its been weeks. Aholes haven't shipped my order yet. Best buy has been out of stock since a long time near me, either. So i kept checking almost daily like a routine and finally found in stock, ordered and cancelled my Samsung order. The frustrating part is Samsung website has been showing The Frontier will ship in 1-3 business days since past coupla days. I called their agents and they all be like- "Oh sorry, it just means it will be delivered in 1-3 business days, once it leaves the warehouse. It is not what you think". WT?? Man I got so pissed calling them again and again with no luck, they all repeating the same sht. I have a strong feeling they are not shipping in the order received. I think brand new orders at full price are still being shipped sooner than those back orders sold at sale price.
Who pre-ordered through best buy to get the $100 credit?
What is your order's status? Mine still shows processing.
Has anyone ever gotten a phone later than the release date when the pre ordered through them. I will be ticked if I "Pre-ordered" and don't get it on day 1.

Likely update tomorrow. Be patient. There is nothing to suggest we won't have our devices day 1.

I preordered on 3/30 and my order is "in progress" with expected delivery by 4/21.
Originally pre-ordered on 3/30. Canceled it to change it to the S8+ on 4/5 and as of my typing this, mine still says, "Order Processing." I'm picking mine up in-store, so not sure how that'll factor in me getting the device.

I pre ordered 2 s8 plus through Best buy online on March 30th. Thought the $100 is supposed to come off the price for each month's payment? Didn't know we would receive a coupon. Sprint is my provider.

I just got that coupon as well. I believe it does come off the monthly payment, but since this discount is exclusive to Best Buy, when you pre-order, it's at full price (when I looked at my original pre-order order, it's at $849.99), but will be adjusted when you get the phone. At least that's how I understand it.
I'm still processing, to be delivered by 4/21. I placed my order on 4/10.
I ordered on 04/03.
Hold for $839 placed on my AMEX instantly.
Went away after a few days as expected.
I'll know when they pull the phone and slap it in a box for shipping instantly because the AMEX app will ping me when the charge goes through.
I specifically ordered this to be shipped and delivered by 04/21 because I don't feel like dealing with the crowds on release day at BB.
AND, I also remember a fiasco where some went to pick up their phones and the delivery did NOT make it so they had to wait until the following Monday.
Imagine that!
Due to lack of Note 7 inventory for my "day 1" preorder I questioned several BB PEEPS. I have been told in store by both Samsung Experience rep and long time BB cellular employee that they have over compensated with their orders this time around. Sunday/weekly flyer guaranteed availability on release date if preordered by 4/20.
Thanks everyone for the updates on their devices. I'm sure BB will come through as they did 2 years ago with my s6 edge plus, but I always get paranoid that mine will be the one that doesn't show up lol.
I will have to see if I can track down this $100 coupon in my email. Maybe they process it as a down payment which knocks $100 off of the phone?
Edit: No coupon for me
The coupon they are talking about is if you Pre-Ordered in store. If you processed online for pickup instore then you do not need the coupon. I placed a pre-order for the S8+ online (3/30) for pickup in store. I am on Verizon and under my documents page on MyVerizon it already shows the new edge agreement with the total amount financed at $716. BestBuy FTW on the initial savings, just have to suffice with potentially waiting until 10am Friday vs early Verizon shipments.

Yeah, I pre-ordered in-store. Didn't know that you don't get a coupon if you pre-ordered online. I just assumed everyone who pre-ordered from Best Buy got one. Funny enough, when I logged into my AT&T account, I see the discounted price for the phone.
For those who got the coupon: I know it says that you need to print it out when you pick it up, but can you get away with them scanning the code from your phone?
Changed to Preparing
Preordered on 4/1. Status online just changed from Processing to Preparing and am no longer able to cancel at all.
Though I'm concerned that the Get it by date has changed from Friday to now 4/25. Going to really be upset if it doesn't show up by launch day :crying:
Mine is still processing. If it's not at my house till Saturday(out of town till then) I'll go and pick up one where available and Ill refuze the package

still in pre-order
Ordered mine on 04/08. Also was "awaiting authorization" next to my credit card number. I hope that is not an issue with the card and that they will charge the sales tax when they ship.
Mine has changed to preparing with "get it by Tuesday 04/25" as well.
I may order again to pick up in store on 04/21 and just cancel the other order.
This is ridiculous but being Best Buy, not surprising.
Just called Best Buy. Your wait time is 2 hrs 54 mins. I'm cancelling and trying somewhere else!

They just need the barcode visible for their scanner. On the phone is ok, I'm sure.
