Samsung Galaxy Note II - New Customer- $99 Amazon Wireless for Sprint (Price match for ATT upgrade)

I got the Note II for 139 last month (upgrade). I don't think they'll be offering it for $99.

Charles D.: I'm so sorry but AT&T does not match the price of the other retail store.

I don't have the time to keep going back at them, but thanks for the heads up OP.

Quote from notObsessed : How's the service with Sprint? After nine years with T-mobile, I've decided to try something different. I was going to go with Verizon, but I don't know. Is there much difference between AT&T and Sprint? I would appreciate some opinions of those in the Austin area in regards to dropped calls and service quality.

Sprint's 3g in Houston, TX is horribly slow, the slowest I have seen is 100Kb and the fastest is 500Kb. 4g LTE is only at 45% across the city and they launched it during the summer of 2012. They can say they launched LTE in a city as long as they have hit 20% of their customer base in the city. With Houston only at 45% I would be surprised if any other city is around 45% as well. In PC World's review last summer they had the slowest internet speeds across the nation and it is because they have so many MVNO companies using their network. They got hit with the stupid stick when it came to Windows Phone 8 and they are in love with Android. They do have the second cheapest rates compared to everyone else and have truly unlimited data. T-Mobile is the only one cheaper but their plans are only unlimited on the 4g band, HSPA+, which is in the same boat as Sprint's 4g LTE. I have been using AT&T for 4 days and so far I am not impressed. I hope you understand that even though I have all these problems with Sprint I still think AT&T is worse after 4 days of usage. I am most likely going back to Sprint.

Quote from SmurfetteMom : My supervisor tried chatting with AT&T. The first rep, Rebecca Thompson, looked and saw the $249 price, so she wouldn't match the $99. The second rep, Jose, said they do not price match and to call the toll free number. My supervisor then called the toll free number and spoke to Tara, who said AT&T does not price match. My supervisor will print out your receipt, plus the Amazon page and go to Best Buy. I hope it works for him.

they are not in the busyness of giving you a break. but
you would be surprised what they will do to keep a customer. when they say no to a price match, say ok plz send me to customer retention plz. and that you want the deal or your off to a diff service provider. my best negotiation was a new phone and 25% off my bill for 1 year. ymmv. but never hurts to say i been here x years it is time you gave me something back to me.

That doesnt always work. I wanted a $50 phone for free and they told me no. So i told them i was going to verizon and they said "Ok, is there anything else i can do for you." I said "Uh, no". "Thank you for choosing sprint". What a bitch!!

Might as well carry around my notebook...this thing is huge.

Best Buy would price match for Sprint but not for At&t.

No go for me with AT&T and my plan is up this month....

Is that Papa Smurf?

I just got galaxy S3 two weeks ago,I also like note II.

Tried web chat with AT&T twice, I wanted 4 phones and my contract had ended months back but they didn't care one bit.

Roll-out updates [s4gru.com] My 3G speeds were so bad I was at a point where I was going to pay the ETF to leave Sprint, but they have gotten much better here in Houston LTE wise, and they are only half done. I get pretty constant LTE coverage and I average around 3-5mb download speeds and 1mb upload speeds at around 105 dbm (really weak 4g signal). Rocking the EVO LTE doesn't help much in signal problems either but the S3 and note 2 don't suffer from that. 3G speeds are still bad, but they say all that will be upgraded soon.

I would go and try to get this price matched for an upgrade at a best buy, have the amazon page loaded on your phone and if they are careless they might not notice the "new line only" requirement.
Others have succeeded before...

Quote from niagaraloser : help please. I currently have sprint, out of contract. sprint will not match this deal. If i just create new account and get this deal, is there a way i can keep my current #?

You can port your current number to Google Voice (closing your existing account). Then open a new account, and have Google Voice forward incoming calls to your new number. As a bonus you get free unlimited text messages at the Google Voice number (which is the one all your friends already have) and don't need to pay the carrier for a text plan.

Whether I should sign any contact with AT&T...????
