Add to cart, the Galaxy buds + add to the cart with the phone.

I traded in a generic android phone and received another $75 back.

FYI, this is not able to be purchased without signing up for a Verizon account
MAKE SURE TO CHOOSE PAY IN FULL BETWEEN STEPS 4 AND 5


DO NOT add to cart unless you have or plan to open a Verizon account. You will not be able to access your cart to remove the phone without logging in to Verizon or signing up for Verizon.

Edit: If you do get stuck on the Verizon log in page without access to your cart, go back and add an unlocked version to your cart. That will move you past the Verizon log in screen

Question which everyone would like to see answered:

Will the following steps work? Never had experience with VZN, so need some inputs here:

Step1: Buy phone, create a new VZN account
Step2: Activate line once the phone arrives
Step3: Cancel line and close account within 3 days to get refunded
Step4: Phone gets unlocked 60 days after activation, automatically.

If this works, this is a wonderful deal, else YMMV.


Answer - The above won't work, as the phone would only be unlocked if you stay in-service for 60 days. But you'd still be able to use the phone on a Verizon-MVNO such as Visible.

Per #678:
Service is not required to be maintained for 60 days. The moment you place an active verizon sim inside and place a single call, the 60 day countdown is started, regardless if service is maintained after that one call is placed. In addition, the phone is NOT unlocked for use on an MVNO until *AFTER* the 60 days. It's not like AT&T where you can use a locked device on an MVNO. The phone is completely and utterly tied to VERIZON POSTPAY (not even prepay will work) until unlocked.

Your comment cannot be blank.

IMO, I would say on par with a s9 plus. Add 5g, lose out on a snapdragon 8xx series processor. Camera is about the same.
Need to be a Verizon customer or register to Verizon
says verizon in the title and my post. If not a customer or a fan....Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Has anyone been able to use the $20 credit? I can't figure out what it works on... there was nothing in the email but whenever I add it during checkout, it gives me an error.

$75 was adjusted to the price.

If trade in is successful, nothing happens.

If trade in is not successful, Samsung does a chargeback of the $75 discount originally applied to the adjusted price.

I have no idea then. I don't have the coupon so I can't test it myself.

Try contacting Samsung and asking them why it's not working. You can ask them through the chat.

I was not able to get it to work on anything. There were no conditions specified in the mail that it should be used only on accessories. So, I called the Samsung CSR and specified that there are no terms in the email about the coupon. They then mailed another coupon for same amount which can be used to buy anything on Samsung. I bought a 128GB Memory Card.

Dude, you got lucky! I am usually great with CS people but I have been on a call for 45 minutes now... and all I am getting is "place an order, email us and we will refund $20". I am totally unwilling to do that given the shit show their sales support has been so far.

Keep trying since they don't have a valid reason to deny. You can try chatting with order support people and they will raise a ticket and send it to relevant team to get a new coupon without any restrictions.

Anyone have this issue??

I bought 4 of these phones on 4 different accounts in Dec.
All phones arrived (2 trade-in's were accepted) (2 more are in pnrocess).
Never activated any of these phones on any of these lines. I sold one, pulled the sim card out... never booted up the phone with that card in it... (nor did I use that sim on any other phone).

Now I want to upgrade to the S21 ultra on my account, but it keeps saying "pending order" on all 4 lines I want to upgrade and won't let me. The rep I'm talking to doesn't know how to resolve this. She is calling tech... I told her it is probably the sim card is expecting to auto-activate the new device on the number and since I have never powered on the phones that is probably what is holding things up...

Any ideas? Anyone dealt with this?

Thanks.

I am assuming you bought the A71s as upgrades on Verizon? There may be some discount or benefit that locks your account from upgrades unless the previous phones are activated and past their 60 day lock period. Technically, both this deal and the current S21 offerings include a Verizon discount. Try ordering the "unlocked" S21s, they are only $25 more on Samsung.com and you can activate them however you want.

FWIW, I got charged the $40 upgrade fee. I called Verizon and they tried to act like they were doing me a favor by cutting it in half to $20. I chewed them out until they waived the entire fee, but it took a while.
