24 month lease especially if you are only getting the 32GB version since they are paying your lease payment with a $20 credit each month

Like I said, they are deducting $20 off your bill each month during the lease ($20-20=$0 lease payment) for both the 32GB S6 and S6 Edge, If you get a 64GB model then its $30-20= $10 lease payment

I understand that I want to get one but do you see this printed any place so I can show sprint if I have any problems?
yes, it on the sprint website when you pre-order the phone.

I'm on the 1500 everything data its a older plan and they will give you a 15 dollar credit . I got my wife the s6 32gb for 5 bucks a month lease . 120 bucks for two years is pretty good IMO.

My view on this Sprint deal and it's only for new customers or new line. $80 + tax a month for the line and phone. They say the phone will be free because they are crediting the $20 a month.. Easy pay is $60 + tax a month and with my phone payment (M8) I pay $80 a month.
So in a way they are charging you the phone payment but making it look like for free to attract customers.

I really like to get my hands on the edge but my upgrade is not till January 2016. I forgot to mention that Easy pay you upgrade every 2 years or when you pay the phone in full. But with $5 more a month you can upgrade in a year and not 2 years.
Does anyone know why Sprint does not offer the 128GB memory option on the Edge like on the regular S6? Thats the phone I want - but I don't know what the price would be. No 128GB memory option for Edge on Sprint website. It looks like you can only get 32GB for the Edge. I guess I could call Sprint but I hate calling them.

When I called them they gave me the option, so you may want to do that. I got the white 64gb over the phone on my pre order.
I personally am not into leasing stuff. I bought the 64gb Edge for $800 straight on eBay. I know it's a lot but it's still like $200 cheaper than current full retail with tax.
I just upgraded my 32gb note 5 to a 64gb note 5 for essentially the same price (actually a little less as the payments are based on the amount of $579 as opposed to the $599 that I paid for the 32gb). Since t-mobile is discounting the note 5 by $100 dollars I used on of my jumps from jump on demand. While I had to pay the $100 up front for the 64gb version I will essentially recoup that money as my monthly payment will be $5 less. So over the life of the lease I would have paid $90 less (18x5) and if you're like me who generally keeps a phone over 24 months I will have paid $120 less.
In addition to this I am going to apply for the $50 rebate for activating samsung pay as well as the $100 in samsung accessories for activating samsung pay (I'll probably just get the vr gear as I have more than enough cases and chargers of all kinds). I'll also apply for the $299 samsung gift bundles but doubt that I will get it as the fine print says that you would have had to pay full retail price. If anyone is interested I think the t-mobile sale is until November 30th
Actually samsung paid me $31. I say this because I purchased the 32gb note 5 when samsung had the promotion of paying the first three months of the EIP (for which I have already received the check). Since I have paid only 2 months into the 18 month lease the third month is profit. Finally I'm on the winning end of something
I wonder if I can do that if I already paid off my phone? I have the note 5 in white and I wouldn't mind the blue lol might try it
yeah im thinking about calling them and complaining to them about the new promo and then complain about how my fast charging in faulty and have them upgrade me LOL lets see what happens, might try it tomorrow. i wish they had email communication
When did you buy the first Note5?

I don't think you had to pay full price for the note 5 to get the $299 bundle I submitted my form and 2 days later i received an email that i got approved
Now I'm just waiting for shipping
i bought mine through costco (32GB) but with the new GearVR taking up lots of memory, I want to upgrade to 64GB. Any chance this will work?
What's the $299 gift bundle? can anyone provide a link please? Thanks!

Never mind found the thread ?
I bought the first note 5 the beginning of October when Samsung had the promotion of paying the first three months of your EIP (btw I received the check for that about a month ago)

I think that Costco only does the regular jump and not jump on demand. With the regular jump I believe that you have to have paid off half of the device (unless you have the very first version of jump) - which isn't the case with jump on demand

I think if the EIP isn't based on the full retail price (according to the fine print) then it may not qualify. Keep in mind that a rebate is different than a sale. A rebate would be considered as paying full retail price whereas a sale wouldn't (please correct me if I'm wrong). I'm going to give it a shot anyway.
Also, how many stores actually carry the 64GB version? I know a lot of stores in SoCal only carry the base models.

When I applied for the promotions I kept getting a message saying that the IMEI and/or the wifi mac address is invalid. I then noticed that on my receipt it says "discount ineligible". Oh well I guess I won't be getting anything additional but at least I still came out ahead while upgrading from 32gb to 64gb
I ordered yesterday
Me, too Finally all I love and need on my phone without need of an external SD
mee too!
Go big or go home!
I absolutely would have but I don't work full time currently and I have a ton of necessary expenses that come before absolutely needing a new phone so I had to get the cheapest one I could stand. 128GB should be perfectly fine for me but I would have preferred 256 for "just in case" situations.
The 256GB version is Out of stock in Europe !!!
me
Ordered 8/256 version on 22 with priority shipping (free) and delivered to Italy on 24!
Luckyman !!!
Since yesterday 256GB version is Out of stock !!
256gb is the best of oneplus's versions available. It's barely enough for my needs but I can live with that.
I would like to take 1TB version but unfortunately they do not offer it yet (((
I did too. Will arrive on monday! So we can record 4k, and we'll need some space
I did. Got mine yesterday. Totally awesome!!!???
I did... I don’t change phones often so need that storage to last 2 years
Without sdcard slot It's the Best solution for me 256GB capacity !
Any idea when the 256GB will be back in stock?
Max or nothing! #256gbTeam
I got it despite not being sure I'll need that much storage. The price difference was a bit factor.
I did. Got the mirror back 128 version. I also remembered I still had a student ID from a college I attended 10 years ago. Used that and got 5% off the device and 10% off accessories. My total bill including rush shipping was 589.00. Not bad considering I paid 940 for my S9+. The S9+ is a great phone. I just always need a phone that I can test new ROM's on. I sold all my other phones and now down to just the S9+ and the OnePlus6.

For the student discount do you just need a .edu email address?

Yes. It will send a code to that address for you to use to purchase.
Just saw Greggles talking about this yesterday. You get a S9 Plus and you get a free Chromebook and a 64gb micro SD card as well.
If you don't use the spen a lot is that deal with it since it's $100 cheaper than the Note 9 and getting the Chrome Book and SD card as well? Also I got an s8 Plus sitting in the drawer as well for trade in.

I got their other deal last week. They were giving $400 for trade in of the S8+ with a 256GB SD card on the unlocked models. [emoji846]

I got the deal last week too, $200 trade in for any working phone and 256GB card. I sent a working junk phone that some one gave me back.
I would never use a chrome book the 256GB SD card is more beneficial to me.
The note 9 is nice, but I would also never use a s-pen for anything.

Pretty good deal, the total for my 128GB S9+ and 128GB redEvoSD is $840 including state tax and after subtracting additional $140 I have gotten for the Chromebook. Total price. Just opened email from Paypal that someone paid me $160, the asking price for the 32GB Chromebook. Not bad, it's been 'back to school' season, it took only 2 days to sell it. I don't have a need for that chromebook, glad that someone have it, brand new, for $60 below orig. price. They paid extra $10 fee to swappa, I'm shipping it out tomorrow, label printed, paid $23 to USPS for that.
I got the deal too.

I did not think about the back to school angle. Nice!
I buy brand new, never been used, phones only once every 5 - 6 years. I usually buy off swap or local. So I always go big when I do.
Got the 256B unlocked version and the 256 GB card for $818 and some change. Of course that is pending they accept my 200 trade in. The phone had no cracks, held a charge, and was no other issues besides cheap.
I was slow on the draw and missed the sale they had a couple of weeks ago when they were giving out free bluetooth headsets. was kicking myself, but realized I have a really good pair so. Storage is what I need most.
i'm not sure the deal is working correctly...
the final payment is over $1000 when the phone is only $839, and the fine print says excludes taxes... seems like they're charging for the "free" chromebook?

Well, nothing is free. I'm happy to have this phone, though with sagging sales on S9/+ we should see much better deals soon.
I have a question to ask, if you guys don't mind, what is the current SV number on your phones, you've probably bought your phones around the same time as I did and I'm baffled by having SV07, is that the # tells how many times the software was cycled on the phone? I only got one OTA installed so far. Did I pay for a 2nd hand phone?
Are we going to see some type of pre order promo?
I ordered 2 phones..... but havent seen any mention of a pre order promo.

I just preordered 2 through AT&T and I am wondering the same thing. The only thing AT&T told me was they were waiving the activation, which I alreadyget through their signature program discount through my employer. So not much of a promo there for me.
I ordered direct from Sammy and received at $150 freebie accessory purchase and then another email with an additional $50 deduct for the pre-registration. Sammy also throws in 6 mos of Spotify and 4 months of YouTube premium.
Same here Gargamel. Ordered At&t at midnight. I saw something about HBO...lol what! Who cares give us something useful

Got this same promo when they opened up ordering.
I ordered from Samsung. Got 550 of my Note 9, 200 dollar credit to be used on the site, 6 months of spotify and 4 months of youtube premium. I find it interesting when I preordered I got 200 dollars, yet they are now giving a 150 dollar credit.
if you use Rakuten app or the plug in for chrome.
you can get 10% cashback but you cant use that extra 50$ credit.
but you still getting 100$ credit for note20 and 150$ ultra note20.
i ordered ultra note20, i'm supposed to get back 67$, that' more than that 50$ credit.
After you pre-ordered, did you get the extra $50 or a little while after? I just pre-ordered 2 phones and got 150 for ultra and 100 for 5g, att USA.

No, it never show there's a 50$ credit.
I read somewhere that you can get the 150 off accessories even if you preorder from a carrier. Not 100% if that's true or not.
Vodafone gives galaxy buds live.
ATT is running a hell of a deal, i have an S9+ and they offered me $1000 for an upgrade on an unlimited plan. I was already signed onto the Unlimited Elite, so upgrading to the Note 20 Ultra for $10 a month for 30 months on the promo pricing was worth it.
Dont know if its for everyone or just those with the old corporate FANs, i still have my old Sears Holdings fan attached to my account. Its like a collector's item these days.

When I pre-registered to pre-order, I got a $50 credit. Then when I pre-ordered I got an additional $150 credit, and I now have $200 credit. Both of those were described in emails from Samsung.
I just saw the AT&T deal. I immediately canceled my Samsung preorder and got it from AT&T. Thats a hell of a trade in deal for my note 9.
Just ordered the big dog 512 gb using the trade in program, getting $550 for my note 9 and also got $200 credit. Total came to less than $1k so I'm pretty happy
Here in the UK, a pre-order will get you a choice of either the new Xbox Game Pass Bundle (3-month membership, MOGA XP5 -X+ controller & wireless charger) with the Galaxy Note20 or Galaxy Note20 Ultra
or
A pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds+ in white (Galaxy Note 20) or the new Galaxy Buds Live (Galaxy Note 20 Ultra)
That's a pretty good offer!
.
Heads up
For those of you taking advantage of the 1,000 off from ATT, there are some things to think about..
You have to pay the device off or use the Next Up plan to be able to upgrade before the 30 month period. If you upgrade without NextUp, you will owe the payments in full, because the credits are only applied on a monthly basis.
If you use Next Up, you cannot use the Note 20 Ultra in another trade in deal. So if they do another 1,000 off next year for the new note, you wont be able to get that, you'll have to use the Next Up and pay the full payment plan of the new phone going forward (somewhere between 40 and 50 bucks per month).
The workaround to this is to buy a different phone second hand that hits the minimum trade in value for ATT. So you would trade in the Note 20 Ultra for the Next Up (this would satisfy the payment plan you are currently on without canceling all the credits, then you would trade in the second hand phone you purchased to get the 1,000 off or whatever the deal ends up being next time around.
Sorry if this seemed obvious to some, but this is kind of where they get you in the long run. If you plan on having the phone for 30 months, no big deal at all, but I tend to get a new one each year.

That makes sense, thanks. I tend to keep my phone for 2+ years (I have the Note 9 now) and I usually may them off way before. I would just use another trade in offer in 2 years and that may be with another carrier or Samsung.
Last time I used Samsung to get the Note 9 because they had the best trade in deal.
