Will the AT&T red GS3 be sold on Amazon Wireless?

[saintforlife]

Or is it AT&T exclusive only? If it does come to Amazon wireless, when do you guys think that will happen?

Umm.. it's available right now

AmazonWireless: Samsung Galaxy S III 4G Android Phone, Red (AT&T)

I'm getting mine direct from ATT since they're cutting me an amazing deal though. And just remember that if you're a new ATT customer, Amazon has their own Early Term Fee on top of ATT's in case you cancel your contract.

@Jontalk - Thanks! I don't know how I missed it.

Also, I know you've mentioned abt the lack of pinch to zoom in the stock email app on the GS3. Where exactly did you hear this? I haven't read abt this limitation anywhere else other than your posts on the AC forums. Do you have a link to a review or a video that tells you that you can't infact pinch and zoom in the stock email app on the GS3?

You should go to best buy mobile and get it. They'll price match Amazon wireless if the price is lower and they also have an awesome geek squad protection and you could also trade in your old phone if you don't have any other use for it. Love that place

Yes, from what I can tell the stock email app on the GS3 does not do pinch zooming, which sucks. However, I believe that K9 mail from the app store or maybe even the Gmail app may allow pinch zoom. One of the ATT reps I spoke with last week logged into one of his email accounts and it was pinch zooming, so I have a suspicion it has to do with the type of account.

Amazon as you know, is not discounting the garnet red GS3 which is odd. If you're a long time ATT customer with a good track record, I'd call customer service and see what you can negotiate. I LOVE the deal they're giving me on the red GS3 and it's FAR better than Amazon too! Also you should know that there's no guarantee that your current plan (if you have unltd data and 200 txt msgs like me) will be authorized to grandfather when you buy a device from a third party. At least that's what ATT told me. You have to request it, and they submit to mgmt for approval.

You have mentioned the great deal you are getting, may I inquire why they are doing this for you? You mentioned 50 percent? I know Amazon screwed up your last order so I am curious why AT&T is being so nice... I am jealous I must say.

Gmail stock app doesn't allow pinch to zoom... ridiculous!!

Just ordered a garnet red GS3 today and paid $144 ($100 phone, $44 tax). no activation fee, and immediate credit of $44 to my service account for the tax. Net cost for phone: $100. No restocking fee if I decide not to keep the phone during the first 30 days either.

I am a LONG time ATT customer with few if any credits over all the years. If you call to get the same deal tell them Amazon sells their phones for less, no sales tax, etc.

What was also great was that I received an IMMEDIATE terms and conditions email where my current plan has already been grandfathered over to the new 2 year contract, rather than having to request it like you do when buying from a third party. I hear that sometimes Best Buy or others screw this up, and with Amazon, you have to request it when you call to activate. It also appears Amazon is selling the red phone but with NO DISCOUNT.

I dont event want to tell you all how I got mine...lets just say AT&T had to be nuts that day because I got a once in a lifetime deal

 

[jontalk]

COOL! I figured what I got is a MAJOR score given that normally it's $200 for the phone, $44 tax, and $38 for activation which is over $280. I have NO problem saving almost $200 And I couldn't even get the red one for $100 from Amazon even with all the credits they gave me.
