Verizon: Galaxy Note 9 Pre-Order Thread

[Mooncatt]

Worth going online and seeing what your device is worth as a trade-in. I have an LG V20 and Verizon is giving me $280 as a trade-in for it. That is a lot more than I could sell it for outright, I owe nothing on it, and I don't have the hassle of "tire kickers" trying to sell it. Worth a shot for any phone you can trade-in.

Caveat to this deal is that I get the trade-in value over the course of the 24 months the Note 9 is being paid off on. So it turns out to be ~$12 a month comes off the bill. If I decide to pay off the phone, I "lose" the "credit". Not a concern, since I plan to keep the phone long term.

And finally, when getting your phone, tell them to waive the activation fee. When I was online, the chat tech offered to waive it through using the code WAIVE30. it did not register online so when I went to the store to see the phone and pre-order, I asked about it and the sales associate took that off.

I was thinking about that too, but I can't get the trade in amount for the S7E it's replacing because that phone isn't paid off yet. I'm willing to pay it off early depending on the offers available, but I want to know what that would be first. Then I'll decide to pay off or wait.

So... Anyone else with an S7E that they were able to trade in that can let me know Verizon's valuation on it?

They told me $124 dollars for my S7E in good condition. Not worth it to me.

Looks like Verizon is gonna be fashionably late to the party - all other pre order threads have a lot of "I got charged!!!!" activity going on.

Ouch.

I'm thinking I'm going to hold off pre-ordering. The BOGO offer just doesn't make much sense in my case, so going to see if a trade in offer comes up next. The extra phone would be nice, but with not being able to sell it and make some of the money back, it'll just sit in a drawer for a couple years.

Do you not know anyone who can use that line/phone??

I pointed that out to them too. I wonder why they all shipped the Note 8 so soon then. I hate the waiting process for new toys..

I could make it work by adding the new line, then deactivating one of my others that's an emergency line. Unfortunately that's one my young kids also use, so I'd be swapping the current emergency phone to it. I really have no desire for anything Samsung, so would only be my wife using it.

I can't believe pre-orders will be up so fast. I didn't even get a chance to peek at it in person. Will probably order blue 128gb version.

I usually go to Best Buy to check them out but haven't had time. They ship next week so I guess I'll end up not going this time.

I want to trade in my 256GB iPhone X to cut down the cost of the 512GB Note9, but it sucks that they won't allow you to apply the trade in value to your new device immediately. Ugh. Looks like I'm going to be wrestling with other people on release day to get one at a brick-and-mortar retail store.

Verizon is ALWAYS late to the party. :-\

To be fair, last year Verizon started the party. Someone probably got fired for flipping the shipping switch to soon.

And by the way, my UAG plasma came in the mail today. I've never seen the USPS go that fast. It was sent first class and got it overnight.

Ordered the sky blue 512gb on the 13th. My first pre-order and first Samsung, been Moto for years. I can not believe how crazy this is making me, I feel like a kid at x-mas. Checking account on the hour every hour, searching the forums, I want my phone, and I want it now, Lol..,. BTW, I'm 47 and usually don't get excited about new things.,.. keeping fingers crossed it comes early..

Best thing to do is keep calling into Verizon and asking. After getting asked several times they usually just send them out.

Believe me, if I thought it would work,...... So I wait and watch.....

Lol. I can see someone reading your post and doing it

 

[Mr-Guy]

sprint started shipping them out today...

Posts like this make me cringe. The Verizon customer service reps don't deal with shipping at all. Every year I always see posts with people nagging/harassing customer service reps asking them when they'll ship.

Edit: maybe your post was made in jest, but it's hard to tell on a message board.

They're probably shipping them to local facilities where they'll be held until the day before release day.

I was waiting for you to see that post, lol. That was a sarcastic post

Ah. Haha. Sometimes it's hard to tell, but I figured you didn't mean it.
