So... I ordered the unlocked version because I was offered a $600 trade in value as opposed to the $300 value on Verizon. My question, what advantages or disadvantages does the unlocked have versus the Verizon?
You still get all the Verizon features like WiFi calling, Volte etc. Only thing won't work is Verizon video calling or something like that (who uses that ). And unlocked version is cleaner bloat free compared to Verizon version.
Only difference is Verizon version will get updates faster than the US unlocked model because that's how crazy Samsung rolls.
So, thanks to this chat, I cancelled my Verizon carrier preorder, and bought the unlocked model (for that $600 trade-in). First time ever using an unlocked model. Hopefully I won't notice any difference in use.
Question: Is the unlocked blue version only compatible with AT&T and Verizon? I am trying pre-order the blue thru Samsung and on check out it only gives AT&T and Verizon as activation options.
Thanks bud!No that's just what Samsung has integrated on their website. It works works with all carriers just like previous versions. All the carrier and unlocked model is essentially the same in terms of radios and chipset inside them.
Also there is no reason or advantage in selecting activate on the Samsung. Just put your sim from the previous phone and good to go. Unless you have a very old phone and want the new sim.
Got $200 for registering for pre-order prior to pre-orders going live.I too pre-ordered the unlocked N10+ 256GB from Samsung, paying $500 after the $600 N9 trade-in. But I'm getting a Samsung Credit of $150 rather than $200. How did others get $200?
Yes, I get those with the unlocked N9 on T-Mobile.can I still use TMobile Tuesdays on the unlocked model?
