Unfortunately I can't login to order or check it out, that portion of their site has been down all day! Is this a repeat of the nexus 4 debacle? Are all of ya'll crashing their servers?

Anyway, late last night/early this AM, I was logged in, and my upgrades available weren't showing the cheap/free prices. I was still showing the GSIII for $150. I wonder if this is due to my account, it's a loyalty unlimited family plan they offered us a few years ago. Note that all lines on the account are eligible for upgrades (I'm actually still using my G1 as my daily driver!), so what gives? Is this for new accounts only? Lame. Guess I better call support and find out, but I'm kinda pissed if it's for new accounts only. I was going to add a line, and get 3 free GSIII's, presently a $450 option for me, even with plan renewal. So much for free, unless anybody knows something I'm missing? It says it's a web only deal, so I should be able to upgrade online, right?

I tried online and couldn't got through so visited store, they do have the phone but it costs changing the unlimited plan which for individual is ~$95/pm in classic plan and ~$85/pm in the value plan. Untill you receive the rebate, you pay the offered price and then you can change the plan.

I'm paying $65 with unlimited web (Even More) on myTouch 4g, and $20-30 a month seems too much to me.
I'll wait on Black Friday to see if I get something chipper somewhere ...

 

[billwinkle]

Be forewarned. I just got back from my local T-Mobile store. Yesterday and all month I was told I was eligible for early upgrade. And today I am not. I was told yesterday to wait until today to upgrade because the phone would be free. This sucks. They are trying to get it corrected. Maybe it has to do with thier site being down. I hope so. Otherwise I am going to take my 10 years of loyalty and go elsewhere when my contract is done.

Off topic,

But anyone know of a major retail store having the nexus 7 for dirt cheap on black Friday (he reminded me of black Friday lol ) pm me if you know anything to keep the thread clean.

I went to the Tmo store today and walked out with my new S III. I have a family plan with 5 lines. My line was up for renewal. I had to switch to the value plans (I was still using a My Faves plan) but ended up saving quite a bit on my monthly bill.

This deal is not Web only - the deal wouldn't show up for me, either when I tried to upgrade on the 'net.

If you have a line up for renewal, you can get one of the free phones (you do have to pay full price up front and rebate comes in the mail)

Well, just as a warning for everyone, it is most certainly not free, even with the rebate. It will still cost at least $200 in the end. Basically, you pay $200, and you'll eventually get the rebate back for it. However, they're adding an extra $20 per month for the first 20 months to cover the discount... which will end up costing $200.

So, yeah... I'm not sure if anyone else had that same issue, but that's what the salespeople at my local T-Mobile store did to me. I needed the upgrade anyways, as my old HTC G2 is starting to show its age, but this is silly, just charge me $200 and be done with it, calling it free and still shelling out $200 in the end is not what was advertised.

Costco also has a promotion today and tomorrow with $150 MIR (required Unlimited Talk/Text Classic plan + Unlimited 4G data plan)
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/11/costco-gets-in-on-the-two-day-samsung-sale-fun/

I'm eligible for upgrade and having Unlimited Talk/Text Classic plan + Unlimited 4G data plan. I walked into a T-mobile store today and they gave me the price $299.99 for the phone (with $300 MIR) + $37.50 tax + $18 Activation fee = $355.49

Compare to what Costco offers:
$179.99 (with $150 MIR) + 11.25 tax + $0.00 activation free + free shipping + free GS3 accessory = $191.24

I think i'll go with Costco. lower upfront + cheaper after the rebate

 

[rapatelrocky]

If you have corporate or student discount options - check on the advantage pricing - I got $175 + $50 MIR for each of my GS3s (ordered three - signed up for new plan).
At the time costco had it for $149.99 each online. Note I ordered mine 2 weeks ago.

It's free after mail in rebate.

@swan3983 What is up with your math. $20 x 20 months is 400. And where are they adding this $20 a month. Now where in my paperwork says anything about an additional $20 a month for 20 months.

Pretty sure the $20 a month is a value plan thing, doesn't apply to you if you're on a classic plan.. I'm almost positive..

Yes, you'll end up paying addistional $20 for 20x - thats $400!!! And they said its a value plan they gave me the 69.99 unlimited everything which is the cheapest plan! Im returning this tomorrow, its not worth it. I hope I can get all my money back, coz accdg to the gs3 box, if returned they charge you 50 $ re stocking fee!

Heres my receipt: (remove *)

Why are they charging you so much for the phone? Are you not not eligible for a upgrade at this time?

The GS3 is suppose to be $299.99 minus $300 rebate with a classic plan or
$199 minus $200 rebate with a unlimited value plan.

the Value plan isn't subsidized and has 20 payments of $20 (or $15 on some cheaper phones) applied to your bill to pay for the device.

the Classic plan is subsidized, but costs around $20 more... so at > 20 months, the Value Plan is cheaper by $20/mo.
