    So, does anyone know the answer to the original question regarding whether 4G SIM cards will work in the Note 10 5G?

    Note 10 5G - Can I use my grandfather plan SIM card?

    It's not. I was running 4G hotspots at remote events all the time until they nuked FoxFi. Now I can only USB tether, but it's still not throttled.

    Note 10 5G - Can I use my grandfather plan SIM card?

    The ancient grandfather Verizon unlimited plan SIM has already been cut down to fit an S9+, so it should fit size-wise. But I am curious if it will even work with the 5G Note 10? I am pretty sure it wouldn't be able to use the 5G towers that I run across, just 4G, but if that's the case, I am...

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 9 Pre-Order Thread

    OK. Thanks. That makes it clear this isn't an option. I thought the credit would still be applied to the "primary" account, against the phone financing change.

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 9 Pre-Order Thread

    So, are you saying that both phones are required to buy 24-month subscriptions? You can't get one of them sold without a plan? I would like to keep my old plan, just put the SIM in newer hardware. That's what I did when the Note 4 came out. Paid "retail", but then didn't have to sign a new...

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 9 Pre-Order Thread

    So, question to the Verizon BOGO veterans... I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan Note 4. I'd like to find someone to partner with to do the BOGO. What's the best way to go about this, so that I get a phone available to pop my old SIM card into? The agreement says that the deal...

    Now available to "Reserve"

    How lenient is Samsung on giving full value for trade? There's a lot of s8+s out there with small chips in the screen in the $200-$250 range. I might pick one up if it's relatively safe to get a full $400 in trade.

    I wonder if it will also be able to use the adaptive charging for quick charge times.

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on Verizon - Preorders, shipping and arrivals

    Has anyone who ordered Verizon from Costco received theirs? Or had their order status change? Mine still just says "Submitted".

    Costco galaxy note 4 lists the octacore exynos processor

    Yes, I called the Wireless America kiosks. They are the company that runs them (at least in Arizona).

    Costco galaxy note 4 lists the octacore exynos processor

    Called a couple of Costcos. Their employees have no idea what's in the bundle. Only that both of them were sure that it would include a car charger. Hoping they are as generous as last time...

    Costco galaxy note 4 lists the octacore exynos processor

    Does anyone know what the "accessories bundle" is that Costco is typically offering with phones now? I know last time I bought, I got a car dock, extra battery, some cheap plastic screen protectors, and a home dock. Hoping that they are still similarly generous with their upper end devices.

    Note 4 Places to order non-activated phones other than Best Buy Online?

    Re: Places to order non-activated phones other than Best Buy Online? I am talking about getting the subsidized rate. Best Buy seems like they will not be offering the Verizon Note 4 as a pre-order. Can anyone confirm that if I order the "upgrade my current device to this one" option from...
