puch96 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hello. I'm searching for a Galaxy Note 2 on Sprint, and I came accross the ebay best buy mobile solusions website.... Has anyone had any experience with this before? The reason I ask is because they have the phone for eligible upgrade line for only $149.99.... way cheap. According to best buy customer service, they are new phones unless otherwise specified. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like amazon wireless, only caveat is that if you have an older service plan/contract, you have to move to a new plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decke003 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 That looks like a great deal... and it appears that if you have any problems, you can just take it back to a Best Buy store to return or exchange. On the phone itself, get it... best phone I have owned (iphone 3g, iphone 4, EVO, Nexus 4g, EVO LTE, Galaxy S3), and the first that I didn't want to immediately exchange for the next best thing. DO IT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_rail34 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) I go through best Buy with sprint. Best deals in town. Agreed...but unfortunately Best Buy's price on the Note II is $299 right now. Amazon has it for $149. (upgrade prices) As of today I am eligible for my upgrade, but I'm gonna have to hold off until Best Buy's price drops again so that I can get their protection plan. Nevermind about BB protection plan. After some research it looks like they're also just gonna give you a refurb as a replacement, and from what some people were saying about it sounds like a total nightmare process. Hmmmm...??...I don't think so scooter...I believe I'll take my chances. Edited May 2, 2013 by d_rail34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_rail34 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 They match prices. I saw that as well. I'll definitely be taking advantage of that. But I was extremely disappointed about the replacement policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puch96 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Thanks everyone for the comments. I ended up getting the Note 2 for my wife yesterday from Sprint, and it is a great device!!!... Makes me feel bad when she gets 4G inside the house, and my EVO LTE doesn't..... oh well... She's loving it!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiblur Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Thanks everyone for the comments. I ended up getting the Note 2 for my wife yesterday from Sprint, and it is a great device!!!... Makes me feel bad when she gets 4G inside the house, and my EVO LTE doesn't..... oh well... She's loving it!. The RF characteristics of the Note2 especially on LTE amazes me day and day out... I have the EVO LTE and S3 to compare it to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was extremely disappointed about the replacement policy. what? they have geek squad, they used to send it off. My screen has a crack, they let me keep it because it's usable still and they used to send it off. I should have my replacement phone 2morrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_rail34 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Right...but as far as their replacement policy is concerned they're not gonna give you a new phone. At least that's what a lot of people were complaining about on their forums. I also read an article in regards to a class action suit against them discussing matters about store reps telling consumers that they'll get a new phone as a replacement, and that wasn't the case when it was all said and done. You'll have to go and read for yourself...I actually encourage it after what I read on there. There were just too many red flags for me to consider getting it, and I would really hate to see anyone else get duped into throwing their hard eaned money away on a farse. If you do find something to counter what I found, or if you could let me know how your experience went i would appreciated it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They send you a refurbished phone( the exact name of your phone) The galaxy S3. It's fine, this one I'm about to get replaced is refurbished, I had no problems.

d_rail34 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Well that's cool if the phone you're getting replaced was already a refurb (correct me if I misunderstood). But if you have a phone that you bought new and had issues with it and received a refurb after being told you'd get a new replacement...then I'd have a problem with that. Just sayin... ...and sorry to get so far off topic. Just wanted to share what I read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luuminator Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 With the sprint plan I always got refurb phones. The plus with the best buy one in the paperwork I got says I just pay 9.99 a month and have no deductible. So I find it cheaper since I go through phones usually quickly due to my job...knocking on wood I haven't had a single problem with mh gs3 since I got it in November.
