Went to At&t retail store on the way home to pick up my Note 3....went thought the check out process with the Att rep and came to pay and she said "Well I guess its free". She had the manager come over and check and he said the same thing. Oh well good for me I guess...LOL :good:. And I high fived the rep as I left.

Yes I used my 2 year upgrade to get it. Also it was also a business account and it was not charged to the account (I checked)

Oh well just thought I would share....

Oh ya and I had to do some extra work to keep my unlimited data since they try to remove it no matter what now....I had to call 611 and have them reapply during the switch over to the new phone.

The bad part is I just sold my Note 2 for $300 just before I went to the store to get the note 3.....I guess I have $300 in my pocket now but I would have like to keep the Note 2 instead!

Tell you what, buy back your Note 2 and I'll take the free Note 3. You just got a more advanced phone for free and cash for your old one, how can you seriously be complaining? You're probably the only one who has gotten an absolute free N3 and aren't happy. That's like saying..oh no...I won the lottery but now I have to pay taxes on it, darn. -_-

Are you sure it was free? There is a program called next where the sales tax is charged at point of sale and then an installment plan is added for 20 months...

There is also a bug right now at Corp stores where sometimes sales tax is not charged on a transaction...

I'm a great salesman and part of being one is knowing every deal and offer... that's the only way I know where the note would be free.

Don't get me wrong I love the next program but this sounds like possible bait and switch...

If this happened to you, you will notice a 35 dollar increase in you bill and a lack of the standard upgrade fee.

Trust me, I am a retail sales person at a Corp store. It sounds like they signed you up for next which is an installment plan that raises bill. It gives a one year upgrade option but it should only be sold to someone that wants it.

I called AT&T, instead of the insurance company. First time (headphone jack), the rep said it was still under AT&T's warranty. Second time (water damage), the rep said it would be a pain to go through the insurance company & they could replace it , but would have to charge the deductible. I asked could he waive it. He checked with the manager & he ok'd it, even sent the replacement overnight.

That makes more sense. I've never had an issue getting a phone replaced within a year from AT&T, some had physical damage to the housing. Water damage would be pretty iffy, but as long as you have documentation, I don't see how they can charge you. I've never paid for insurance, so I don't have experience with that process.
