[Q] Best price for an Infuse

OK, I'm ready to give up my Backflip, and move up to a Infuse. I saw that Best Buy has them for around $100, any better deals out there? I am elgible for upgrade, with ATT, and saw that Amazon has it for $150, and Walmart for $130.

Damn 100$ isn't bad at all,doubt you will find better.

I just upgraded to the Samsung Infuse 4G through AT&T website and got a refurbished one for $19.99.
Just today 8/27/2011 so dont know how long its been at this price. I had been checking in on it for some time but the owest they had dropped the refurbished one
to was $149.99 so I was surprised it was $19.99 so I had to get it.

I picked mine up for $97 at Sam's Club.

Wal-Mart Special!
Just seen today with a qualifying 2 year contract they are going to for $98.99..I paid $160.00 for mine at our local Costco.

If you're a costco member, it might be worth the extra money to buy it there. They give you 90 days to decide if you like the phone, with unlimited exchanges and model swaps.

I believe, if you wait a week, you can get the sgs2. Fyi

$19 at Costco ... special sale. There was a big sign last Thursday on the mobile booth. Think it lasts a few weeks. This was in Union NJ but I assume it is national (I think it is in their latest coupon book).

More like "at least" 3 weeks.

bleh...at this point I say wait for the Holiday

Thats for the info! I'm not a costco member, but will look into that this morning. My thought on the sg2 is that it will be $200 when it is released (next week, next month, whenever), and will not come into the $50 range anytime soon.

I believe you can tell them you want to "check it out" and they will give you a 1 day shopping pass but you pay 10% more. It's also possible you can buy at the mobile kiosk without being a member (just like the pharmacy). Besides, you must have at least 1 friend who is a member.

Just looked online, Costco on line is $119. I did notice that several of the phone prices are cheaper instore, vs online. Walmart online was $129, but $98 in the store. Might be time for a road trip, nearest Costco is 50 miles away.

or, as my wife is advising me, I could just wait........

I doubt you'd be able to buy it without a membership. I don't know about the one-day pass, but when I purchased mine at costco, the mobile kiosk sent me to the regular checkout with a voucher to pay (where they checked my costco card as usual), and they had me wait there while someone ran back to pick up my phone/accessories.
One additional point is that you do get a free car charger and some other useless crap along with your purchase, so if the prices are similar, you save the $5-10 if you actually want one.

What just happened here? Free data??

Not sure where to post it - I'm quite dumb founded...I have no clue what happened here or why it this way. Anybody ever seen this? I'm obviously not going to call or say anything about it but I'm praying it continues for a few more months before they fix it
Update: I complained about a data outage in my area and they gave me a $5 credit. Then I was on Twitter with an ATT customer care rep for a bit but nothing came out of it and I didn't really have an issue. I don't get how this happened unless they were being super generous. In that case, I'm complaining every month!

No the $5 credit was on my account before the bill hit. I had a $-5 balance and then this was $34 so my current balance is $29. I don't get where the $50 National Credit came from. I want to know only to keep it coming

dont worry, att will catch it and reverse it

Reps can be very generous sometimes. I doubt this will happen each month though.

I was credited $100 one month and got a free micro cell. I had no service what so ever in my house. Just out of the blue mine and my wife's phones quit working. Would have to go outside to get service. All is back working normal.
Fyi: micro cell is junk. Call quality was non existent. I would have 5 bars but it sounded like I was talking to aliens.

I wonder if they're giving out credits to HOX owners like they did with people who bought the Lumia. Might be compensation for the "Customs issue". I'm curious, where did you buy the HOX? At a corporate store or a reseller?

Holiday Specials for GSIII on Verizon

Anyone know of upcoming specials I might wait for?
I'm looking at pulling the trigger on one of these in the next 3-10 days.
Looks like right now if I want a Black one I can get it for $199 on contract.. but if I want white or another color, I'm paying at least $244-249.. which I don't understand, but whatever.
Thanks for your input!

i doubt they will be black friday prices but they should be cheaper. Just gloating, I snagged on from Sam's Club for $.98.:silly:

Thanks, definitely gna get my brother one he's jealous of mine. Lol

Too late now but sams club had a free with two year contract. I'm sure something like that will come around again.

I had purchased mine at a 3rd party verizon dealer that offered price matching and took in a screen shot of Amazon's price and got the phone for 60$ (though the week before i had paid 80 for my girlfriend's the same way, the price went down after a week, i was quite surprised)

lol already too late for that :/. rooted 20 minutes after buying.

What do you suggest then is the cutoff point for what makes sense and what doesn't? I'm dealing with a thunderbolt with poor battery life and slow response time, but I like having no contract. Any tips on how to analyze this?

I got mine at staples on saturday and made $30 on the deal. They took my old Dinc2 and gave me $50 for it. I got another $5 in store coupon which brought it down to $45r for the phone. They also were doing a $50 mail in rebate on all phones $99 and up which puts $5 in my pocket. They also gave me a $25 Google play gift card. Needless to say, I upgraded both my phone and my wife's phone too. With both phones they paid me $60 to take them.

Check the Samsung Pay Support page for a compatibility list. Subject to verification, receive a Samsung.com coupon code for a black Samsung Wireless Charging Pad (valued at $49.99) within apprx. 6 weeks of the code redemption. No more than 26,000 Offer Items are available. Code expires 3/31/16

I've already added both cards are supported. Guess I'll try to delete one and re-register.
Edit: never mind. You have to be a first time registrant. If you've ever added any other card to Samsung Pay, your out. Might want to update OP with this info.

That's a bummer. I have had 2 cards registered and used on samsung pay all of last year. Well....

So for me to use this I'd need my S7 Edge, which I won't have until at least 3/11. Brilliant plan, wait until a phone that will allow a bunch of people to use Samsung Pay for the first time to come out and make the deal expire a day before.

Thanks, Scott. Just order it

When you register your phone you'll get 30% off on purchases $60 or less. So that's something if you don't get this.

cracked Screen/samsung premium care

Cracked screen almost not usable. I went with the fee premium care. its been approved but i called to see why it hasnt shipped and was told they are trying to get the device, if they dont have refurbished they will try and buy one...So, they have no idea when i will get an device. I was also told that its on back order.. My question is could it be a week or two weeks before i get a device....

I respectfully have to disagree with you. I've experienced Apple's customer service firsthand and it's been nothing but great for me. The fact that I can just walk into an Apple store greatly helped but that doesn't change the fact that after a wait, they always resolved any issues I had. (Even some caused by me.) The worst part is that wait though.

Apple has got to be the best customer service that I have ever dealt with. Even getting them to repair a phone was like getting a brand new item in the box. Really quick calls as well.
Samsung on the other hand is a complete disaster. Be prepared to be on the phone a good 2 hours anytime you have to give them a call. Also, their repair service is unbelievably terrible as well. I had to send a Note 4 in like 5 times because the screen was separated completely from the frame after they replaced it. It blew my mind how they couldn't get the screen to stay on the frame being that they made the device. They even acted like it was my fault even though I sent pics the same day I would receive the "fixed" phone.

Didn't take to long. Didn't get original color silver but grey it's not really grey to me though. Looks nice. I had to email Samsung they said they would look into it.
