Best Buy Mobile Phones At T

Back in Dec 2019 Best Buy was offering Motorola e5 play phones at an insanely low price ($40) BUT they were listed as " AT&T Prepaid - Motorola MOTO E5 Play " (with 16GB Memory Prepaid Cell Phone - Black, Model:XT1921-2SKU:6300370 ) ... the thing is, I already have two motorola phones for my kids (motorola Moto g4 play model) that are already on an AT&T prepaid plan.

I called AT&T's customer service department at the time and they seemed to think that they would be able to make the phones work with our current prepaid AT&T plan since we're already fulfilling the requirements (an AT&T prepaid plan). I certainly hope I don't have to do anything silly like sign up for a brand new AT&T prepaid plan despite already having one (although my online research seems to indicate in theory I could do this for 6 months with a prepaid plan then the phone would become unlocked).

Just as Liz predicted no problems whatsoever getting the new phone up and running.. rather than just swapping the sim card out (sim cards were different sizes on the old and new phones) I ended up calling AT&T prepaid customer service and they had no problem transferring the phone number to the new phone's sim card and getting the new phone up and running.

Speaking of that activation fee however, in some cases it might make the discount you get for "activate now" phones a bit redundant depending on how much of a discount it is ... for cheaper phones (like the moto g fast or moto e year 2020 model) I notice you can get a $50 discount if you select "activate now" on the best buy website.. BUT that immediately forces you into a situation on BB's website where they add a $30 activation fee (if you're using AT&T anyways) so... $50 discount, $30 activation fee, doesn't really save you that much versus say just giving up the $50 discount, buying the phone unlocked, swapping the sim cards out yourself and hoping this bypasses AT&T's activation fee. On the other hand for the more expensive phones I've seen discounts of hundreds of dollars that might make soaking that $30 activation fee worth it.

UNLOCKING this phone however was a different story.. AT&T got it unlocked eventually but it was a total nightmare to the point where I begin to question if it's better to just pay the additional money to only buy unlocked phones and be done with it... technically the unlocked AT&T phone is working now with my t-mobile service but there's AT&T bloatware (pretty sure it's bloatware) on the phone that doesn't give an option to uninstall which really slows the phone down - my old phone was actually faster and that was the older model of the phone ! ... but given the grief and pain unlocking the phone and transferring t mobile service to it (easily 5 to 6 hours minimum of pain and grief talking to various AT&T and T Mobile reps) , for all that grief and pain I'm going to just stick with the slower yet somehow newer model phone

Worth pointing out that t mobile customers get mcafee security for tmobile for free from the google play store... if you're engaging in any financial transactions on your phone (buying stuff with paypal or credit card or whatever) I think it's a really good idea to get some sort of security software installled on there ...

Best Buy Mobile and AT&T corporate stores use two different systems to do activations. Being as Best Buy Mobile is a authorized reseller of AT&T phones, we do not have all the access that AT&T would have (we can not change upgrade dates outselfs, can not pay bills, can not add discounts). AT&T is able to do all of these things, because they are accountable for all their actions and AT&T gives them that authority. While this may be a nuicense every once and a while, Best Buy offers instant rebates and usually lower prices on phones than AT&T. We also do not work on commision, while AT&T associates do.

Whether they're foldable, curved, big, or small, our phones are devices we rely on probably more than any other gadget in our life. Naturally, we're always looking for the best deal we can find for a better phone, with new processing power, storage upgrades, camera improvements, and connectivity to entice us into upgrading our devices.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is easily one of the most powerful phones the market has seen. Holstering a 200MP wide camera, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, and a 6.8-inch dynamic AMOLED screen, the S23 Ultra provides a little more competition to the iPhone.

Just yesterday Samsung announced its Samsung Galaxy S23 line of phones featuring the S23, S23+, and the flagship S23 Ultra. While the newest wave of Samsung smartphones haven't hit the market yet, AT&T is offering pre-order deals that allow new and existing to get the S23 and S23+ for up to $1,000 off with an eligible trade-in.

The biggest difference between the S23 and its predecessor is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor which provides faster speeds, battery life, and GPU performance. In addition, changes to the cameras on the S23 line of phones have improved low-light photography to reduce glare and blur in nighttime photos.

New and existing AT&T customers can get up to $800 off Samsung's top-of-the-line handset when trading in an eligible Samsung device. The list of acceptable trade-ins includes A-series, S-series, and Z-series phones. As long as the device is normally valued at more than $35, which is everything that falls under the three product lines, AT&T will offer the $800 evaluation.

Sound of Music operated nine stores throughout Minnesota by 1978.[25] In 1981, the Roseville, Minnesota, Sound of Music location, at the time the largest and most profitable Sound of Music store, was hit by a tornado.[22] The store's roof was sheared off and showroom destroyed, but the storeroom was left intact.[22][26] In response, Schulze decided to have a "Tornado Sale" of damaged and excess stock in the damaged store's parking lot.[22] He poured the remainder of his marketing budget into advertising the sale, promising "best buys" on everything.[26] Sound of Music made more money during the four-day sale than it did in a typical month.[23]

In February 2008, Best Buy opened its first store in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[56] Best Buy's Geek Squad market tests in Office Depot and FedEx Kinkos stores ended by March.[57] Also in March, the company began promoting the Blu-ray optical-disc format over the HD DVD format, a move which ultimately contributed to Toshiba's decision to drop HD DVD.[58] In May, the company agreed to buy 50% of the retail division of The Carphone Warehouse, a London, England-based mobile phone retailer.[59][60] The deal was worth $2.1 billion.[60]

In February 2009, Best Buy leveraged its partnership with The Carphone Warehouse to launch Best Buy Mobile, a Best Buy-branded mobile retailer. Best Buy Mobile standalone stores were opened in shopping malls and urban downtowns. These Best Buy Mobile outlets were also added in all Best Buy-branded stores.[65]

In April 2010, Best Buy opened its first United Kingdom-based Best Buy-branded store in Thurrock.[69] The company eventually opened 11 Best Buy stores in the United Kingdom, all of which were closed in early 2012. In November 2011, Best Buy purchased The Carphone Warehouse's share of Best Buy Mobile for $1.3 billion. Best Buy and The Carphone Warehouse maintained their Best Buy Europe joint venture, which at the time operated 2,500 mobile phone stores throughout Europe.[70] 041b061a72
