This thread is for all of us Verizon guys who are looking to buy the SGS3. So far the info that is out is that the Pre-order is starting on the 6th of June at 7am EDT, source can be found HERE. It will be $199 for the 16gb and $249 for the 32gb version. There should be the white verzion and the pebble blue version of it as well. So far these are the specs look to be the same as the international version of the SGS3 except that it has the S4 processor and 2gb of ram instead of 1gb. Here is a LINK to some leaked pic's of the Verizon SGS3.
This thread is for just us Verizon guys to chat about who's buying one, comparing them to other Verizon or competitors phones, new's updates on the phone and much more. Also, this thread should help cut down on the random Verizon wireless threads in hopes that all info can be in this thread and not into many posts in the SGS3 section. That will help out other users when they are trying to find out info about this phone. They will not have to go to many different threads to find info about the phone. Hopefully soon we will have a dedicated section just for our version of this phone! Please keep this thread on topic
OK, so if you have a unlimited data plan you MUST pre-order prior to the 28th of June to keep it. Any pre-order or phone purchased after the 28th will be put on a shared family plan if you have multiple lines. There is about 500+ posts within this thread about it. So please read this and let's move on from this topic please. It's been beaten to death already. Also, enough with the "I talked to a rep here" or "I chatted with a rep" about the same issue. Customer reps in general are clueless to many things
- It will ship between the 9th-11th probably depending on when you preordered.
- If you preorder it prior to the 28th you will keep your unlimited data plan. Anything after that, you will have to pay full price for your phone if you want to retain your unlimited plan.
- If you are an existing customer, you can choose to keep your current plan or upgrade to the family shared plans. Depending on your needs.
- July 10th, the SGS3 will be available in store. 16gb only: Droid-life.com
- New customers and anyone adding a line only plan option will be the Shared plan if you have a family account.
- Here is a copy of VZW Shared plans that were leaked: Box.com
- If it ship's early, that would be great.
- Here is an great article explaining the benefits of why having the S4 and 2gb of ram is better in some ways than a quad-core and 1gb of ram: Tmonews.com
- Pre-Order your SGS3 from VZW's website now!!!: VZW Pre-Order Page
- Best Buy is already taking Pre-orders. Just walk in and preorder it and you should be set. They have a 14 day return, 30 day exchange policy on the phone: Phandroid.com
- Rumor has it that it will ship on the 6th or the 9th of July. Here is an article about it: Smartkeitai.com

- Here is a video review of the SGS3 LTE Version:
All signs are pointing to a June 21 release. Has anyone pre-ordered a phone from verizon? this is the first phone that Ive pre-ordered. How does it work? Do they ship the phone the day of release or can you pick it up in store? thanks
I'm hoping Best Buy gets this right out of the gate. I've got a 50 dollar credit with them. The guy at the store told me today that they hadn't heard anything yet. So stoked for this. Now lets just hope I can keep unlimited data!
So glad its coming out soon, and not in October.
Gonna pre order as soon as I can. Praying I can keep my unlimited data because 4G coverage is faster than my wifi. My Inc2 has been a good phone but it's time for a change!

i called today because I just came eligible for an upgrade, he said you simply call and request one but they don't actually process and bill your account until they ship them out. I didn't ask about picking up in store, he said they ship them out as if that's the only way it works.

and yes, anyone with 3G or 4G unlimited grandfathered data can keep it still
however with one caveat...he said if you preorder it 6-6-12 and by some rare chance they update their upgrade/data policy as has been rumored to be happening this summer, and it happens before the phones ship on 6-21 (my words not his, he didn't confirm ship date), then you are subject to the new terms.....at the time they bill and ship it.....not at the time you pre-ordered it
talk about the most diabolical thing they could do, get all the left over unlimited 4G data users in the queue and then flip the switch on the shared data a few days before the 21st......oh boy would that not go well....
Called target today to ask if they get phones same day as retail stores . Guy said it depends, so I asked about gs3, waiting for him to skate around it but he said let me check the sheet and said they will have it ...took my name and # and said he'd have the manager call me Wednesday to pre order.
This is T-Mobile BTW....Anyone seen anything about T-Mobile price? I hope its 199...I have a $100 gift card there at target.
Different target stores do different providers..but looks like they'll have stock and usually have better prices.

please link because that is exactly the opposite of what I was told. and from my experience, you agree to the terms on the day you make the transaction, which is essentially your acceptance of the new contract terms.....you aren't bound by any terms on a simple request for a pre-order. I'm not claiming to know, but I can tell you from experience, they are very very adamant about that. The moment you sign a receipt or accept a device, etc...is the very mechanism they use to document your new contract terms. I know from experience. It doesn't matter what they said, all that matters is what it was the moment you hit the button to accept.

yeah I found it and I don't believe it. I think the rep spoke out of turn. I think the truth of it is whatever it is on the day you agree to the terms is what they will hold you to. (which would happen on the day they bill and ship it, not the day you verbally ask to get in line)
Damn this whole ordeal is stressing me out. Maybe I can sign on early if I go preorder in store... Seemingly not though because Verizon seems to tell their reps to pretend to know nothing of what is going on. Whether that is true or not, I am not sure..
So, if there is actually a risk of losing unlimited data going the preorder route, here is a thought: Get an iPhone 4S on contract ASAP; keep your $30 unlimited plan; promptly sell the unused iPhone; bank the $350 profit from the sale of the iPhone; use the $350 to offset the cost of a GS3 off contract - maybe even get the RAZR HD later on if that's your preference. It's basically a wash - maybe a little extra work, but worth it if it means another 2 or 3 years of unlimited data. That's all we really need - hopefully by then, the other carriers will have respectable LTE networks.
Being on Sprint, I can say that the hope for lte is rather small...they're looking at probably mid-2013 at the earliest for the majority of the country. Granted that's mostly speculation, but pretty dismal none the less. My contract is up in August but I'm hoping to jump ship to VZW in July...just really bummed the unlimited data isn't offered anymore.
EDIT: just noticed the 2-3 year time frame you stated. If Sprint can keep the unlimited data after the upgrade, they stand to be the top provider with lte speeds and unlimited data. I guess time will only tell huh?

True - but it sure would suck to loose the subsidy because I waited too long. I've been sitting on an upgrade since November. Hopefully, VZW will provide some warning. As I recall, they gave a pretty reasonable warning period last summer when they started the tiered plans.
No use speculating. Whatever happens, happens. Truthfully, I have grown so dependent on my phone over the last few years, I'm at a point where shelling out $550 for a new device just doesn't seem nearly as crazy as it used to.

My wife and I ditched Sprint when the GNex came out. I looked back at what I paid to "upgrade" after to years to the Instinct and then to the EVO 4G after another 2 years, and it was cheaper to get two new phones from Verizon and pay ETF to Sprint than to "upgrade" with them. All that and our town of 150,000 didn't get 3G with them until 2010, and it would slow down to unusable at all times other than the middle of the night. Verizon just rolled out LTE here over the weekend. I miss unlimited data, and Sprint is cheaper than the other contract carriers, but since data never really worked here, it was worth it for us to jump ship.
Here's what I have decided. I am going to preorder one on each of my lines. Verizon said they would give plenty of warning for when they will change the tiers. Make the preorder and I have it. If they do it I am out. I don't think they will if they are really shooting for the same June release as everyone else. It just is not that much time. If everything goes well and I get the devices, I will sell one on ebay the day I get it, give my wife one of my backup phones to get her on 4g and wait for the next iPhone to give her later this year.

Yeah, I figure Sprint can do unlimited data cause their speeds are so slow and Wimax is so spotty that they're not really providing that much data to users...a VZW rep told me about their buy back program and I plan on switching lines with my wife and using her evo design to cover what's left of my etf so I can actually have good data speed, even if I'm limited to 4GB usage. I figure that's better than having a 4G device that can't be fully used y'know?

I will probably be getting an Nexus 4 come January. I hate not having LTE, but I don't think I can pass up the deal. And I have been wanting to get off of Verizon. They are so awesome yet so infuriating. The delay of the ics release for the thunderbolt is kind of the final straw. On November 13 we will be like four major releases behind. Already two generations behind. Enough is enough...going to take my dollars elsewhere.

I concur. That's my thinking, as well. I will probably eat six months of ETF and flip the Bolt on fleaBay.
Verizon, you're such short-sighted [email protected] You could keep my money and loyalty if you just loosened up and gave us the ability to support ourselves, you amateur f%^C&sticks.
I do admit, the Nexus 4 for $349 on StraightTalk using AT&T's 3G/4G HSPA+ network for $45/mo. is a really tempting deal.
Not in tending to spam, just on teh subject of replacing the Tbolt with the Galaxy Note 2, Newegg came out with a strong price cut:
Newegg has the recently released Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 Smart Phone (Unlocked, Quad-Band GSM) in WHITE for a low $589.00 Free Shipping after Coupon Code: "BLKNVMW57" (Exp 11/5). Tax in CA, NJ, TN. This is about $86 less than the next reputable vendor. [Compare Prices]

I want to start out with "I hope this is the right forum" as I have been searching literally for 2 hours.
I just now got off the phone with Tmo ordering the new (thought was new) GT 10.1 Tmo said they just released today. Rep placing order didn't even have model number. Also Tmo said as of now the only US carrier to offer the SGH-T779
I bought the tab tonight for $237.00 and its shipping with a $50.00 rebate. Yes i did agree on another 2 year contract, I will have unlimited data, talk, and text.
Again sorry if I'm not in the right area, but the threads I have found was a few months old or GT 7.0
Hi guys, I have a pay monthly sim which is from T-mobile and it will end in 4 Months and i am waiting for Samsung s4 release. Basically which network provider is better? I want to swap to Three because they have cheap and good plan for the S4.. What is your experience with this network provider? Do they have fast internet? are they better than T-mobile?
Hello
I am in the same situation. My contract runs out in 6 months, but i want the S4 as i do not like my One X. However to upgrade to EE will cost me £220 when you take into account the discounted termination fee and £100 for the phone. If i cancel and go to three i will only pay the early termination fee of £180.
I can sell my current phone for £140 and get £58 cash back. What is appealing about Three is that they offer unlimited internet for £1 less per month than EE.

I have sim only deal from T-mobile and it's pretty good deal but i want to jump to Three because they offer cheap Samsung S4 Deals. Also on their website it says they're the best network for internetting,
Was in the same situation here, opted to stay with T-Mobile.
Three are getting 4G at the end of the year which will be FREE so that's why I was looking at them, they have good 24-month deals also!
However, decided to stay with T-Mobile (3G only) as I usually always have a WiFi connection and 3G speeds for me are not too bad. The deal I got with T-Mobile was great too, found it on www.chitterchatter.co.uk and it totals to just £658 over the 18 month period! (300 mins, unlimited texts, 1GB internet - £31p/m. £149 phone but £50 cashback)
Check out that site if you're interested in T-Mobile contracts, the S4 deals are only staying like that during the pre-order period then they will up the prices once the phone is actually out. Sadly the £50 cashback has expired but I believe the £40 cashback for ordering off ChitterChatter is still valid - check QuidCo!
I have gone for Three. £35 a month with a free phone, unlimited data. I am not fussed about having 4g now, end of year will be fine.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
In terms of pricing, Three are probably better value though their service isn't bad by any means at all. Their internet speeds are pretty good and with free 4G in the works they'll probably keep improving and growing.
I've also gotten to know a few contacts from there so if anyone is looking for a deal just give me a message and I'll get them to contact you! :good:
The popular one people have been going for is the £35 a month plan with no upfront cost but my contact can give £30 credit and 2000 3-to-3 minutes in addition to this. Other phones available too...
I was going for the Xperia Z but I think I'll get the S4 now...
Three have been a very good network for me.
I have a one x currently
I have been with 02 orange and Vodafone before settling with 3.
I live in Kingston upon hull and with the other 3 providers i have never had download speeds over 0.5mbps
With three I generally always get >7mbps which was comparable to my home broadband speed until recently getting 200mb fibre.
I can't fault three at all
And with the upcoming free 4g it just keeps getting better
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
3UK The ONE Plan FTW! Very fast and truly unlimited internet (including tethering), plenty of minutes and texts, upcoming LTE in same price..... can't go wrong with it....
I'm moving my second contract from Orange to Three in June, getting S4 but keeping my S3 LTE as well
It depends on your location, signal is never great everywhere on any network so I'd suggest asking around or going into shops and testing.
Here in Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes the signal is better than any other network and my Download speeds are better than EE's that my friend has at work.

What is the current stance on Tmobile/Orange/EE in terms of getting deals from other sellers. Last time I checked (this was around 2011) T mobile capped people's internet bandwidth if they had gotten their contracts from places other than directly from T-mobile. It was this that pushed me to Three (Got a Galaxy S2 with the One Plan for £27 a month ) thanks to buymobilephones.net.
Hi Guys,
No matter which network you decide to go to, just haggle on the price with them.
I got 2 contracts in February from vodafone, i got a lumia 920 free on £27 and the iphone 5 32gb on a £27pm contract. The iphone did cost 150£.
The price of the phone will not change but you can really haggle the price of the contract down.
Three are quite good a dropping their prices, and if you cannot get a deal over the phone try call again another time.
Also orange/tmobile will be merging their masts in the near future, and they are the most complained about networks.
was due for an upgrade got s4 for 34pound a month
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Took an early upgrade to a HTC One with 3 two weeks ago in store, but it doesn't like to work for more than 10 minutes at a time with my Parrot kit so had a word with the manager and explained about myself working away. He had a look at mine and my partners accounts and has offered us an S4 in which ever colour I want to pick up two weeks on Saturday. Mint.
Oh and at the moment in sunny Middlesbrough I get on average 13-18meg download and 3meg upload when I do tests.
I went for this and will upgrade present contract to a sim only deal. Overall it's a similar price to a 24/12 contract but I get the option to upgrade after a year. What do others think?
Did same in UK Samsung online, pretty happy overall . .getting the option to upgrade to the S8 when it arrives next March is a winner in my book
Oh and a free gear vr means i can sell my S6 with my innovator edition gear vr i had for my s6

Did exactly the same thing will switch to sim only on August when contract is up. Will save me about 200 pound over the two years instead off a two year contract and can upgrade to next Samsung next year . 27 is pounds a month and no network bloat . Can't wait till the 8th

Same. If Apple can, why can't Samsung?
I thought this idea came from the states . Mabe they are trialing it here. Will put straight into a case as scratches are counted after the year. I emailed the re getting a gear vr as it was not stated on the email and here is my reply Thank you for contacting Samsung UK Online Shop.
We would like to confirm that all pre-orders placed on Samsung UK
Online Shop are eligible to receive the free Gear VR Lite headset.
The product will be added automatically to all pre-orders in a few days.
We remain at your disposal, might you need any further assistance.
Regards,
Velina
So it's the vr lite which I guess is the latest consumer version.
I'm on Sprint here in the States and they have the Galaxy Forever plan which is like their iPhone Forever deal. You basically do the 24 month phone lease plan and after 12 months you can upgrade to the next Galaxy (S8 I would assume next year) or if you wanted a different brand etc you would need to wait the 24 months OR pay off the remaining year's worth of lease payments to swap early. So yah as long as you want the new Samsung replacing the S7 you would just give them the S7 and they would give you the new Galaxy phone. I guess the only difference would be that your charges may go up or down depending on the new phones monthly lease cost.
I went for this in the UK and I note this adds £84 on top of the sim free price of the Edge. About £3.50 a monthj
I have one year left of a 2 year contract and so I'll see what to do in January. I could end up paying off the Samsung S7 Edge and selling it and then taking out a new contract with whichever network to get the new phone.
One thing I couldn't tell, if I pay it off early do I save some interest?
I worked it out, it's £30 a month plus £15 or so for a sim only deal, so £45 all in - same price as a normal contract
In uk sim only deals usually 1/12 and not 24/12 so worth bering in mind as may be cheaper in a year.

I can't see it mentioned either, but as it seems similar to a lease there must be some early termination charge. Probably better off to speak to them directly as it isn't mentioned at all in their T&C's.
EDIT: Also it seems to be 14.9% APR interest
I'm definitely doing this. The contract on my S6E isn't up till March next year but by doing this I can sell my old Edge as part of payment for the remainder of my contract, then switch to a sim only plan next year. It's the only way I could do it without buying the phone outright. I can't see anyone beating Samsung for the next two years in terms of phones, besides the Nexus line. And besides, you don't have to upgrade to the S8 if you don't want to either. Can just continue your monthly payments as normal, so pretty much a no brainer.
I really wanted to do this. under £30 a month and an upgrade to the latest galaxy device after 12 months (providing you return the existing handset). Unfortunately, due to one late payment recorded on my credit file this year, Samsung have refused me
That's too bad! I think mobile contracts are easier to get than this type of credit, not sure though.
The only problem with upgrading after 12 months is that you sign another 24 months contract.

I generally have good credit but Samsung will not accept if there is even 1 late payment recorded on your credit file.
You do sign another 24 month contract but if you return the handset after 12 months, they wipe the remaining 12 months.

This still works out cheaper than my current contract . If I want to upgrade with Vodafone ots 56 a month for the exact same tariff . By buying the phone on the upgrade program even with the little bit of interest I'm still saving around 200 over the two years going sim only and this offer

I can't see it mentioned either, but as it seems similar to a lease there must be some early termination charge. Probably better off to speak to them directly as it isn't mentioned at all in their T&C's.
EDIT: Also it seems to be 14.9% APR interest

It says you can make payments or pay off whenever if you paid it off in say 6 months you wouldn't then pay interest on the remains 18 months
I was thinking of taking the plunge doing the upgrade programme route, I usually buy the phone outright as I have a business sim card in the phone.
How's everyone finding the programme so far now it's been out for awhile?
