If you pre-order from Best Buy then it is instant, but through any other carrier/retailer you'll wait like 8 weeks.
Here's a thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/200-trade-promotion-t2883637

6-8 weeks once its confirmed. Who knows how long it will take to confirm. I will assume it is probably 3-4 months to get the check.

Still odd why no specifics if this deal covers full price or not. The wording is vague and that is being kind.

The bb deal says trade in value may vary, so you could just get $10 for that $10 phone.
The Samsungish promotion is fishy.
sent using mobile data only. no broadband in Rural America as was promised by both Presidents Bush & Obama.

I called two local Best Buys and was told you simply get whatever the value of your trade in is. I'm trading in an HTC Evo 4G, I get $22.00 off of a Note4.
EDIT: But buying through Sprint, their website says Samsung will "match" your trade in value up to $200.00.

Well I called "two" BBs and neither knew anything about it. One guy even put me on hold for like three minutes come back and said he checked all his resources and couldn't find anything but the trade in for phone value deal. If anyone checks and gets other wise by all means let us know. Facts only though guys, be sure to check deep if you hear that so and so said..

I'd get the Prime if google doesn't sell the IMEI numbers to AT&T. Don't want them forcing data on me.

It wouldn't be bad, but if a company doesn't have the IMEI numbers they can't force you to pay for data. At least I think that's what they are getting at. That and/or they can get dumb phone internet for cheaper since it won't be registered as a smartphone (but as an "other" or unidentified).
I could be way off though.

I really don't have any idea what hes saying ...Illuminati, freemasons, conspiracy! I think he's talking some $hit like that, att gets a hold of your IEMI number they will use you as a sleeper cell lol and make you pay there cell phone bill! Like I said I have no freaking idea
Tmo didn't have our phones imei so when I bought my phone cash I didn't need data.. what don't you get?
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
They don't need your phone's IMEI to tell if its a smart phone or not, as soon as you plug in the sim card they know what phone you have.
That being said, that cad from Samsung is definitely fake. I have gotten more professional looking letters from my cable company.

Not live as of 8:27 am est but should be live in a couple of hours. Part of the Father's Day & Grads Sale.
Edit: In order to get them online you have to order at the $139 then call BB Customer Service and get them to ship them to you at the adjusted price.
Also added the Screeny in case they try to kill it that way you can still try to get it
Just ordered 2 and price will be adjusted in store

You think thats frustrating? Verizon hasnt even acknowledged it exists
U.S. Celluar hasn't given a date other than "by the end of the month". We know the prices but that's all!! Seems like everyone is in this waiting game.
I just called sprint and they said that it will be available for purchase, not pre order on the 25th. I also asked a buddy of mine that is a district manager for t-cellular which is a third party seller for sprint and he said he would actual have the phone for sale. Not sure if that is accurate though, because best buy had no clue.

No, I worked for best buy and Verizon and T-Mobile. Oddly enough, T-Mobile people were the most informed because we had good communication from up top. Verizon was OK, not great, at giving us info. Best Buy is the worst. Not much training, they don't have answers, they pass stuff on that they change hours later. Incredibly disorganized.

T-Mobile store in Kingwood, TX where i live has them, i'm stopping in tonight for a peek and see if they'll sell me one!

They sent me TWO!

lucky me! They sent me TWO phones! They got my order right, and sent me one that belongs to "Brian"
So, if anyone in the Medford OR area ordered an X and is missing one hit me up!
I called motorola and they were like WHA??? I guess their going to send me a shipping label to get it back to them. Part of me wishes I never called them!

I am sure that they would blacklist the imei and then track the sim number to see who is using it.

I think that legally you are under no obligation to return the device. They mailed it to you, it is now yours.
Of course, its absolutely not the right thing to do...especially with a pair of companies you are in an ongoing relationship with (who you have alerted to the problem). Would probably just get the IMEI locked out or something and be left with a useless brick and bad karma.

The rules exist more to stop companies form sending something you didn't order and then billing you for it (or sending a collections agency after you). It is designed to stop scams and fraud, but it still applies to honest mistakes and accidental shipments. Basically if you receive something in the mail that you didn't order, it is considered a gift and is yours to keep.
I'm not saying he should keep it (he absolutely shouldn't), but just pointing out the rules.
Interestingly enough, while this applies to physical goods, it is not really true for money. If your employer accidentally cuts you an extra paycheck, or your bank makes an error that leaves an extra $100 in your account, that money is not yours to keep. Your employer has a number of rights enabling them to recover the money (varying by state) and banks have a very long time to figure out that they made a mistake and take it back from your account (and come after you if there's not enough left in the account).
If you do the right thing in either situation, you can't really be harmed. I saw a story once where some woman ordered an ipad from best buy, accidentally got 5 ipads, reported it, and they opted to let her keep them all in the spirit of the holidays!

Agreed. Not very happy with this at all. Locking us out of our own devices that most of us paid FULL PRICE FOR!!!
Yeah me too... This sucks... I'm seriously thinking about selling mine and buying a international model. Does anyone know which model works good on At&t?
I bought 2 note 3's and and 1 gear. Dropped about a G and I can't use my device the way I would like? Not a happy customer at this point.

I went to an AT&T store a few days ago to get a secure element for free (SIM) and received a text survey the next day. I gave the employee a 10 but said I wouldnt recommend at&t to a friend, and everything else I gave low low reviews. They called me several hours later and I let them know why... I am sure it doesnt mean much... but at least they know I think they suck!
The people on the phone tried to help... but didn't really know how to go about getting someone to talk to me about bootloaders... they even recommended me checking out XDA to unlock it... LOL awesome.
I told them that I am perfectly fine with voiding my warranty... so can I please get this flashed to an international version... no idea how to answer something like that... oh well...

Yeah right. I'm sure this thread will be locked. I knew what I was getting when I bought it. I really didn't care as long as I could root.
If flashing and ROMing is that important, get a different phone. The T-Mobile version of the Note 3 is unlocked and will work on AT&T. I prefer AT&T because I get 4G/LTE where I live and in the building where I work.
Very happy with my Note 3 rooted and using Xposed, Wanam, etc. No need for a custom ROM. At least for me anyways.
AT&T has analytics on social media and Web information they collect on what is being said about them. Most large companies do and thought this might get some attention.
