Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (Sprint) Amazon Upgrade $169.99

Quote from sonarboy1 : note3 is coming later this month

Quoting this so that someone not reading page 2 can laugh with me

if u can adjust to its size this phone is amazing. Especially if you root it and enable multiwindow on any app.

Quote from iamandrewz : I dont have "bad" service, but if I lived a city away from me, I would have close to the best. I live in Sacramento and I never had dropped calls and 3G everywhere I go. Thats the bad part, 3-F%%KING-G. If i was more towards the bay area, I'd have 4G. Anyways, I get a nice discount with Sprint so I'm sticking with it. About the deal... I might make my way into BB and getta PM later today. Thanks for posting.

Sprint is terrible in Sacramento. My brother was a manager for one of the busiest Sprint stores in Sacramento and quit (for a Verizon call center job) because so many people were returning their phones because of poor data speeds.
4G isn't everywhere, it's still slow when you have 4G, & it kills battery life (compared to faster HSPA+). 3G in Sac is dial-up speed. Sprint does plan to have LTE mid-2013.

I left Sprint for T-Mobile's $30 Monthly 4G (100mins, unlimited text/data) & get around 6-10mbps throughout Sac and the SF Bay Area.

Quote from CaliforniaNavel : It fits fine.

How do you know it fits in his pockets? Quit checking other people's pockets, people will start thinking weird things about you.

Quote from aloharacing : Same here - I'm on the $50 SERO plan, 500 anytime and unlimited everything else... Where are you planning on going after you move away from Sprint? Any particular carrier/plan?

I'm planning to go to AT&T. I wish there was an easy way to do ToL and keep your number

Quote from WiredNix : I second this question. Anyone tried this yet?

I did the price match yesterday from this price...asked the rep if they price match amazon wireless...she asked the manager and was told yes...I then asked if I can apply the $50 best buy gift card deal on the phone...she had to ask the manager again and was told yes...I also had a $50 best buy gift card myself and applied it to the phone. She had to charge me a $30 activation fee...I walked out the best buy store with my new note 2 for roughly $90 after everything=one happy owner of a new phone. (math didn't work out...but I am not complaining) :-)

Quote from WiredNix : I second this question. Anyone tried this yet?

I upgraded one of my lines with Sprint at Best Buy on Sunday....they price matched Amazon (didn't even check the website, just went by what I told them) and used the $50 gift card offer, took it off the price of the phone.

I plan on doing the same today with my other line.

Quote from hoilui : Anyway to take advantage of this if im not eligible to upgrade for two more months?

I was able to get 2 off my lines upgrade eligibility bumped up to now (was supposed to be in May) . I called Retentions and got this.....

Line #1.....$100 early upgrade fee....but with $25 credit on my bill for 4 months

Line #2.....$50 early upgrade fee.....also with $25 credit on my bill for 4 months

Quote from cconklin1 : too bad Sprint service sucks so bad

DITTO!! I'm in North Jersy and it blows@!!! No 4G service anywhere I go. Stuck in contract for one more year. Next Christmas its off to Verizon. Can't beat there service, but you pay for it.

Tried AT&T and that pretty much stunk w/ dropped calls and poor reception as well. Switched all house services to Verizon FIOS couple years back and never had an issue since. Can't beat Verizon quality. They have all my telecom business soon enough. I should buy their stock... I sound like a commercial. Do you hear hear me??

I have a $30 Sero account -- are there any tricks with Amazon to purchase and upgrade to the $50 Sero? If not, does anyone know if Best Buy is able to work with Sero plans for a potential pricematch?

yeah, its pretty slow lol.

I left Tmobile to go to Sprint. Still happy to this day I switched.

Go Kings.

went to best buy this morning. had to do a return/rebuy to price match amazons $169 and use the $50 off best buy gift card for phone purchases. Was unable to use the reward zone points that i used previously, that will get refunded back to my reward zone account (sucks),.. and this is the best bit.. apparently, i will get charged another $36 activation fee from Sprint (really sucks!). Apparently sprint only waives the activation fee for 3 days after the date of purchase. (??)

I will fight it as i did not get a new phone, its still the same phone, i should not be getting another activation fee.

anybody else had to deal with this?

yeah, i had to recently, just call up sprint, and say your just going to return the upgrade and witch carriers or something, getting the fee refunded is rather easy for me (then again, i do have a line thats the contract has been up for a while now...)

either way, just call and try and complain, Sprint is good at keeping their costumers, let alone keeping them happy
