VZW Raises the Note 2 from $199 to $299?????

[Chuck73080]

I missed the discounted "Add a Line" offer of $149 that ended Sat. and now they have it at $299.... I not only SNOOZED, but woke up in an alternate reality:-[

Was the Note 2 always $299 before the sale or was it $199 as the title says? Why would they raise the price? I don't get why they would do that.....lol

I believe it was $299 when released and recently dropped to $199 (still is at Best Buy). I was going to add the line, but was waiting to get the dumb phone I bought from EBay, before ordering the Note 2. Guess I should have jumped on it Friday, but I had to change my plan from unlimited minutes to Nationwide 2000 so the dumb phone would be $9.99/mo instead of $49.99 when I activated it to replace the new Note 2. I suppose I over thought the situation.

Can't you still do it at Best Buy then?

When I purchased a N2 from VZW it was set at 299. Wonder why they raised the price back to 299.

I need to be able to put a dumb phone on the new line after the Note 2 is activated so I can transfer it to my unlimited data line. That rules out dealing with Amazon, not sure about BB.

Best Buy is OK too

I'm confused! We were looking at the Note 2 also, eligible for upgrade here in a bit. At $199 for all of last month, we were debating between it and the S4. But now today, we see suddenly the Note 2 price is HIGHER than even the S4 32gb! What gives, Verizon?!?!

Because I am more than clever, I'm brilliant!

Big screen.

That, and big greed.

Hey you guys aren't alone. T-Mobile raised the price for the note 2 as well.

Heh, no kidding. I just have no concept of how, from a business standpoint, it makes sense to RAISE the price of a device!

Especially when the device is nearing replacement with the Note 3.

Maybe they want to drive more sales towards the S4?

Could be. My husband and I were considering picking up a Note 2 and an S4, messing with both and exchanging one if we didn't each like one of them. But now that's kind of out of the question, it was different when they were both the same price. Blah, Verizon.

It happens all the time and on all sorts of things. I am a bargain hunter, people are always shocked at the prices I but stuff at
