Amazon Wireless deal for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 $175 (ATT) $199.99 (Verizon)

Nice price!

Ordered the AT&T version for my wife! Thanks! +1

I saw a Galaxy note a couple of days back and it was humongous! Seriously, it reminds of the scene from "Wall St: Money Never Sleeps" when Michael Douglas completes his prison term and is handed over his "cool cellphone" from the bygone era.

Yeah, I knows its a matter of personal choice but I guess at this rate we'd be sticking our ipads to our ears next.

Quote from NaveenG : I bought this one from Amazon for $149.99(upgrade). I price matched it couple of times lowered it from 249.99 to 199.99 and then to 149.99 ( after walmarts $250 + $100 gift card offer ). They have give me estimated date of Jan 4th. But it usually arrives lot quicker. I got this phone 2 weeks back and the features are just mind blowing.

That's awesome! How were you able to do it?

Amazon's policy says "Competitors' special promotions such as rebates, gift certificates, bundled products and "buy one, get one" offers are not eligible for the Guarantee."

Thanks

I just called them and said that walmart is offering for 149.99. I did not even tell about the GC. The rep asked me that what you want to do now? Do you want to cancel. I said, no. I want to stick with amazon if they price match and she put me on hold for a brief 1 min and said she was able to lower the price.

I hope this helps.

Quote from minwoo832 : Anybody know if I switch carriers, then switch back again to Verizon in a couple days, would I be considered a new customer?

If the account holder is the same person, most likely the answer is no. I can't say with 100% certainty that all carriers do this, but in general they will have policies in place preventing people from doing this in the first place as it affects their overall quarterly and yearly numbers when it comes to churn and new subscriber activations.

Back in the days, many dealers thought they were clever by doing exactly what you're trying to do, instead of doing an upgrade for the customer. The reason being that they were paid more in commission for a new customer, than for an upgrade. That is also the reason why Amazon is able to offer a lower price for a new customer than for an upgrade.

TL;DR Just do an upgrade

It's showing 249.99 for me.. am i missing something?

Edit: crap, never mind, new customer only, not for upgraders.

??? walmart never had it for 250 they had it for 299 and the 100 dollar gc with a 40 dollar credit on your next verizon bill....

2 yr. contract requirement kills it, bad deal.
