Samsung: Galaxy Note 9 Pre-Order Thread

[amyf27]

I happen to have Sprint service please don't ask me why LOL. I am very unhappy with it. What I would like to do for right now is maybe just get it switched over to another carrier cuz there's no reasoning hell this shouldn't activate on their Network

Why are you even going through Sprint? Just switch sim cards. If Sprint is an anything like Verizon then they suck. Carriers hate unlocked phones!

My experience in the past with unlocked phones is that I've just been able to put in my Verizon SIM card and it just works. Could I expect this not to be the case with this device? Do I need to do a particular activation method? My unlocked version should be arriving tonight

Honestly I'd run up to TMobile or really any other carrier. Sprint was atrocious when I had it. I have Verizon now and they're okay but expensive. TMobile seems to be the hip carrier now.

You'll be fine. My S9 was unlocked. Worked right away. Actually HD Voice worked too.

Same boat here... ordered blue 512gb T-mo and was told it would ship the 26th, which is Sunday. Looks like next Tues/Wed for me.

BTW... the reps excuse when I asked about their commitment to deliver pre-orders by the 24th was higher than expected demand. Kind of annoying. What was the expected demand on a $1200 phone?

Good to hear, thanks!

Guys!! I didn’t know this but as I posted Samsung gave me $500 off the 128gb note 9 without trade in and I tried canceling to put I found cheaper somewhere else and it said select retailer afterwards it said If I kepted my order I could save another 10% so I just got the Note 9 for $449.99 with taxes included

 

[franciscomata]

Proof.

I just switched out my sim and it is working great. It had to reboot to activate Verizon sim.

Dang, they must really want to sell you a phone. Lol. Not me apparently. I cancelled a few other orders (various reasons, mainly because Samsung started some new stupid policy with only one trade-in device at a time per household and then placing the other orders on hold until that trade-in device is received by them and cleared) and got no offers.

 

[franciscomata]

Omg I just received an email saying that. But I’m on the phone with customer support because my other orders have been canceled so this is the only one I’m expecting so hopefully it gets fixed because I wanna see my phone by Friday or Monday at least.

 

[franciscomata]

I’m going to sell the headphones so it’s like I bought the note 9 for only $100 or so lol and to think I was going to do $999 on att next + taxes of $90 + $30 upgrade fee psh

 

[fishmd]

Yeah apparently this is a new policy that they just started with the note 9

The headphones are selling for $120-150 FYI

 

[TallyHo]

Note 9 and headphones delivered today.

Which is a crazy good deal by the way for these headphones. I would just keep them for sure, which is what I’m going to do actually. I don’t really need them because I have the Bose QC 35, but these are a nice alternative. And they’re a little more compact too.

 

[Shawn0813]

Mine has been delivered but I'm stuck at work for another 2 hours.

 

[franciscomata]

Pshh it’s still a bargin.

 

[TallyHo]

Hahaha....same here bud. At least it's only a few more hours until I can dump this G6 with a shattered screen. Been waiting for this thing for a few months now. A couple hours won't hurt.
