Personally I would upgrade yes, the S23U has a lot more features and better camera system, its up to you tho, that price seems like a good price too, but this deal for 650 is really the best price possible
did u get the S23 Ultra today from Bestbuy today . Can you help me with the detailed steps of how Bestbuy setup the connection with ATNT. Do they mandate you to insert the AT&T sim and start using the network or they just help you setup the account and dont really care if you use the ATNT sim or not

Not yet I am waiting to hear the all clear signal about the AT&T billing to make sure we can safely cancel that bill is the main thing I'm worried about and then we are good to go and everyone on here can start buying one and canceling that AT&T line.

I picked up one, an s23 Ultra, from Best Buy today. Here are some details about my transaction:

1) The order was placed completely online.
2) I chose to get a new line (new account).
3) I had to enter my SSN and ID numbers and select a monthly plan.
4) NO contracts are signed.
5) The order was placed and ready to pick up in 15 minutes or so.
6) At Best Buy, I just went to the "online pickup" area, and they handed me a sealed, factory-unlocked device with an AT&T SIM card attached to the box together with the pickup label.
7) I walked out of the store in 90 seconds; no time had to be spent setting up anything.
8) I placed the SIM card on a Pixel that I have and the line became active.
9) I can confirm that the device they gave me is fully unlocked (model SM-S918U1).
10) I'm now in the process of porting out the number and closing the AT&T account, will update my post once I've been successful (or unsuccessful...)

Very nice gbegle what model did you get the 512 or the 256? There is a $200 discount on the 512GB if you sign up for bestbuyplus which is a $50 one time fee, and then the phone becomes $200 off so basically you get the 512 upgrade for free. That is another way people are stacking the discounts on this phone is by using the bestbuyplus membership and getting that 200 dollars off coupon from the 512 model, plus the $550 off discount from the AT&T line.

Thank you. I did get the 256gb version...oops. I did not know about the Best Buy Plus option (I do have the "Total" membership, but that may be unrelated). I'm happy with 256, but if I knew...

Add the full priced unlocked S23U 512GB to your cart, and it will show up there as having a $200 plus discount, I just checked to confirm and its real.

Online only seems to allow transfer of a number..i.e they want us to port in ..how did you manage to place the order online


Also is it a hard or soft pull ? Do you see the inquiry on your credit report

Quote from BeigeGazelle7617 :
The $649 price only applies if you are adding a new line of service. You will need to set up an appointment at the Bestbuy store to do so. Can't do this online. And it will involve a credit check from ATT. If you are okay with all these, continue reading. Get the number of phones you need during your appointment and get equal number of ATT lines. One line costs $65/month with auto-pay and $70 without. If you have 3 lines, the price comes down to $45 each or $135 in total. There's also a $35 activation charge on each line. After getting your phones, open and load them with the ATT sims for the first 24 hours. Then call ATT and cancel the lines you don't need. If you cancel within 3 days, you won't be charged anything. Means you have an unlocked S23 Ultra in hand for $649 + taxes. I think this is a GREAT DEAL if you don't have a trade-in device.

Note: This is what the Bestbuy associate told me and I did. Upon calling ATT today, they said I won't be charged for the cancelled line. If I get a bill, I'll update it here.
Can you please confirm if the ATT credit check was soft or hard pull?

did they tell you when will the bill be generated.
Yes AT&T told the bill gets generated on day 3 and that's why cancelling before that will result in no cost.

Keep us posted with the progress as you were probably the first one to latch on to this deal . Would make sense cancelling within 3 days

It definitely is a soft pull and, I did port in a number that I got online (had it already and used it for this transaction).

FYI, the 256GB variance only has 8GB of RAM.
