Nice deal. I'd love to jump on this but I'd lose my unlimited data with Verizon.
Anyone know of a way around that?

Prices not as good as they were on Black Friday, but cheapest I have seen in a while.

If you have a family plan, you can upgrade any other eligible line and move the phone to the main line as long as Best Buy doesn't prohibit equipment changes off the upgraded line.
Sam's Club had it for around free on Black Friday (maybe 48 cents or something). Best Buy was around $50.
(My son tried to get one at our local Sam's but they just ran out before his turn, so he went to BB and got one there. I got mine a week or two at BB when they were on sale for $100 but I had signed up for their freedom plan and got $50 off. Their system was down so they manually subtracted $50 and later they sent me a gift card for $50. So I essentially got my S3 for free.)
Amazon has the S3 for AT&T new customers for $79.99. It's $139.99 for upgrades.

How much is the cancellation fee at ATT and TMo? I'm planning to get for a month and cancel.

I just went that route with Tmobile because they had free activation so I picked up the phone for 99 and I'll pay the 200 tmobile cancellation charge and get the SII for $300.. I wonder if BB will wave the activation charge on a new line.

I'm waiting for the price drop when the S4 comes out, maybe in May.

I do have a family plan but the other phones do not qualify for the upgrade for another year.

I am so confused by all of this...I feel like such an idiot. We have T-Mobile family plan. My husband wants this phone, his phone is not due for an upgrade yet but one of our other lines is. We have been to T-Mobile twice and I swear they just seem to be talking gibberish to us...a foreign language. I don't want to lose our unlimited text plan for $9.99. We gave up and left w/o the new phone.

It was free on Black Friday
No it was $49..I bought one. It could have been free if like me you had signed up for the $50 gift card earlier in the year for upgrading. I also received the $100 gift card that was erroneously listed on the website.

Oh man! You dont want to wait for months to save $50. Will make little sense to buy S3 when S4 is out.

I have T mobile service and I called to cancel my service after my contract expired( 2 weeks ago). Sales rep. offered me Galaxy S3 for $70 if I sign for another 2 year contract. Also, there is going to be promotion for Valentine's day: T mobile will offer free phones and its possible that Galaxy S3 will be one of them

Make sure you read the contract before buying it. These phones are heavily subsidized so some contracts state that if you cancel within a certain number of months, you are then responsible for the full price of the phone. You may end up paying the $200 termination fee and full price for the phone. They aren't going to give you a $600 or $700 phone for $300.
Depending on the minutes you use and amount of texting, you may be cheaper off buying it for full retail and going on a pre-paid plan.

If we have an iPhone unlimited plan now with AT&T, will we lose that when switch to an S3?
