T-Mobile: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

[Jewels81]

When I did it about 2 years ago went into a TMobile store, signed up for service, picked new phones, they ported the numbers over. Once the final Sprint bill posted to the account, I submitted that bill to TMobile and about 4 weeks later they sent a prepaid card for 2 ETF fees and 1 phone. They did require phones associated with those lines that were paid off be traded in but that wasn't a big deal.

It was a pretty killer deal when I switched because they were offering $200/line of you were coming from Sprint and I brought 5 lines. Didn't pay a phone bill to TMobile until the 5th month.

Thanks. Wow. 5 months without paying a bill. That's awesome. I have 4 lines. I'm not ready to leave verizon yet. But I'm just exploring my options if you know what I mean.

For sure. I was with Sprint 15+ years before making the switch. A couple months before I did it I did their 7 day service trial and it was on par with Sprint in my area so I just waited for a deal to pop up and that one came along.

I was on 8gb family share with Sprint at the time. All I asked from Sprint was to match the data allowance from Tmobile, which was 6gb per line at the time, and I would stay with Sprint. They said no way and offered a $5/month discount lol. TMobile paid out over $2100 in credits and ETF reimbursement to acquire my business and Sprint offered me $5/month.

I forgot to mention.
The rep at T-Mobile was looking at new pricing plans for me. He said there's one for those 55 years and older. I don't qualify, but it was one he found. He did find another one for me, I'll save a couple bucks a month.

My wife and myself got the 55 and older plan. $60 a month for both is incredible. Our coverage outside of Tampa is great. My home wifi is out for a few days, and with unlimited data, I don't have to worry about it. I have the S8+, and will wait for a price drop until purchasing the Note 8.

Wow that was a good deal. 15+ years? That's a long time. I've been with verizon since 2012.

We just switched to T-mobile after ten years with AT&T. Was paying $130/month on the unlimited plan with AT&T. We now pay $70/month ($10 extra for one line with mobile hotspot). That's $60/month savings by going to the T-mobile senior plan.
So far, coverage and speeds have been great.

Do you own your devices and accessories outright? I have three tmobile lines and my watch. I believe that portion is about $130 unlimited. But I have some devises on payments too. I've been pretty happy with Tmobile service

There's no way in he$% I will allow this thing to sit on my porch lol. I have Myups and can control it there, have it held for my pick-up

I forgot about MYUps. Usually If I have something coming UPS or FedEx I make sure I am always home.

At least mine doesn't say Partial-PreOrder anymore, it just says preorder.

I checked mine and it's also preorder now, no partial

We own our own devices. The Senior deal with T-Mobile was just too good to pass up. Ordered a Note 8 through T-Mobile, which is a carrier device. Not sure if I should have went unlocked, but I pay my phones off within a few months and get an unlock code. But with T-Mobile's international plan for only $25, I won't need to get a sim card anymore when I travel to Europe. Fantastic deal.

I had jumped to the Note 7 last year, and absolutely loved the device the short time I had it. I kept telling myself after I jumped to the S8 earlier this year it would suffice, but that pull for the Note was already eating at me. Just went up and pre-ordered. Really hard to beat $0 down, though my lease payment did go up $9/mo, but I know this is likely going to be my main phone for a long time to come now, barring any issues with it. Guy at T-Mo said the estimated ship date is 9/13-9/15. Pretty excited to get back on the Note.

Same here. I had the S8+ since launch. Preordered the morning after Unpack event. I paid a grand total $24 for next day shipping that's it. I have handled the Note 8 in store several times and absolutely love it. I've alwayd been a very avid Note person, since Note 3. I've used them all though since Note 1 ☺

 

[gpatrick15]

I got the S8 instead of the S8+ specifically because I didn't want to pay money down for the S8+, in hopes that the Note 8 would also be $0 down like the 7.

I still think we will get them before the 13th.......*keeping my fingers crossed and wishful thinking*.... And praying

 

[jb4kats]

They always ship from Louisville

Yep they do. It only takes 1 day when they ship from there for me, I wish it I could go pick it up, if what I've been told they are probably already here in the US waiting to be released from customs...... At UPS .....

I noticed they're not even mentioning the other gift option of the SD card and wireless charger. I wonder why?

I thought that's only if you order from Samsung, not T-Mobile.

 

[amyf27]

Did any one get their hands on the device? How's it?

Phenomenal. I've messed with one four times already, between a few different stores.

Tmobile Facebook chat is how I preordered. They mentioned the 360 or the sd card and wireless charger. I'm gping for the card and charger. I submit for those after I receive the device
