Did anyone else have their card charged today for the pre order? I pre ordered on day 1.

Yep, my card was charged about 2 hours ago for my Pre Order through TMobile. Usually that means they are in the process of pulling and packing the order. Prior years shows should get UPS tracking in a day or two.

I was charged by Xfinity Mobile day 1, but then the pending charge was removed. My guess is I will be charged again once it ships.

My card as charged about 40 mins ago as well through T-Mobile! Still no UPS label created.

Mine was charged Feb 02. The last time I ordered from Samsung they put the transaction through, then reversed it. Then put the charge through again when it shipped. Maybe to verify your card or credit limit?

That's normal for Samsung. First charge is to verify you have the funds. Then with no further activity it drops off. Then you will see it again when the shipping process starts.

5 days and counting and they haven't removed the charge. Maybe it's close to being shipped.

Just got a tracking number from Ups with an estimated delivery date of the 13th of February.

I ordered from Samsung and have a 02/13 FedEx delivery.

 

[TPR300C]

I ordered 2 on first day. One through t-mobile and the other through Samsung. I have tracking numbers for both as of today. The one from Samsung shipping through FedEx says ETA February 15th but no movement. The one from Tmobile shipping via UPS with an ETA of 02/13 with no movement. I've seen this before and until I see it was picked up, I won't expect it on those days. Hopefully we see movement soon.

Look on the FedEx Website. The shipping label was created for mine Friday but it is not shipping till Thursday cause the phone is on hold in Coppell, Texas. They do this every year same way and you get the phone 3-4 days before retail. Most likely you will get your phone delivered on Monday the 13th which is when mine is scheduled to arrive according to Fedex. My card was billed when I ordered it 30 min after the event, it fell off after 2 days then it cleared my card Friday when the shipping label was created.

Why does ATT offer the S3 as a tradin device for 1000, but Samsung website through ATT does not offer the same trade in? Is there a way to get the S3 through by calling Samsung or its not an option?

Only AT&T.

Only AT&T.I

I always buy unlocked from Samsung. Pop my T-Mobile Sim out of old phone and into new phone and my plan stays at $32.95 a month total with 5gb of Data and Unlimited Text with no Carrier bloat. When you get those $1000 Cashback plans you are getting locked in to a contract. With my plan I can quit anytime and go to another carrier simply by swapping Sims.

Because they want to lock you into a contract. I always buy Unlocked and my T-Mobile pre-paid plan always stays at $32.95 a month. Quick and Painless. Swap the Sim card to new phone and no Contracts and No Carrier Bloat and I have the Freedom to switch carriers at anytime.

 

[borijess]

I don't care about being locked in with ATT. I have been with them for over 20 years. Not leaving so a contract means nothing to me.

You missed my point. I wanted to take advantage of the promotion samsung offers. I think you still can just don't apply tradein on Samsung website and go to https://tradein.att.com/ and enter code TRADEOFFER23

You can't have your Cake and Eat it too. You have to choose one or the other. You can't have both.

Anyone else here ordered one of the Samsung special colors unlocked from Samsung? I did, and it still says backordered. Interested to know if it's the same for everyone with the special color order.
