  • If i buy the note 20 ultra from US will it work with Indian sim cards?

    It's supposed to work with any sim card as long as you buy an unlocked version

  • If I buy unlocked Samsung Galaxy 20 Ultra and activate with upgrade on att , do I have to pay activation fee and I have to change my current plan with them ?

    No, you don’t have to pay an activation fee. You can just transfer your old sim card to your new unlocked phone, that way you can save more than a $100 activation fee. You also don’t need to change your current plan to upgrade. Hope this help.

  • If i order the phone from bestbuy before 9/20 do i get the $150 Samsung credit? or is this over? And will the Unlocked Note 20 ultra work with U.S Cellular?

    Yes, Unlocked Note 20 Ultra will work with US Cellular as long as its this model #: SM-N986UZNAXAA.... you should really get it from US Cellular or maybe Samsung.com I bought two of these phone unlocked mystic bronze from Best Buy on 08/21/20 and it has been dud for me and Best Buy is not honoring the returns for me and I am Best Buy Elite Plus member and Best Buy will charge restocking fee as well. I will explain below why I want to return these phones.. Well, $150 Samsung Credit is over with but if you buy this phone from Samsung.com, they are giving away free Wireless Duo Charger with it. I would recommend buy it from Samsung.com because they will take return and replace if anything happens to the phone with no restocking fees.. I am avid Note series users ever since (2011) they been in the market. But this new NOTE 20 Ultra is a dud for me. It's been 3 days I got this phone and let me tell you it has been draining battery in like 5-6 hours and its getting super hot.. so hot that it making me uncomfortable while holding.. and I am only using at 60hz with all the bloatware disable/uninstall.. Best Buy won't take a return because apparently their employee said that it will be another Note 7 fire disaster back in 2016.. it will be another Note 7 nightmare.. this new phone of mine is getting ridiculously hot and battery just keep dying and Samsung won't help unless i bought it from them... I humbly apologize for a very long message but you can see my frustration with Best Buy and Samsung about these phones i bought only 3 days ago..

Are you able to see the rest of the messages between Angela and I? 9:42 AM Yes, are you referring to the dual sim tray? 9:42 AM That is correct 9:42 AM Thanks for the confirmation. 9:42 AM Jeff , the US version phone comes with only one sim option. 9:43 AM The dual sim facility is not available for the US version phones. 9:43 AM Really? Thats not what I was told upon purchase. 9:44 AM Or else I would have bought and Korean version online and waited a week before deactivating my other. 9:44 AM Jeff, We'd like to see you happy and always willing to share the best option with you. 9:45 AM The US version phones are single sim phones. 9:46 AM I just paid $1300 for the phone. I would like to think that what I paid for is going to serve one of the major functioning factors for that purchase. 9:46 AM What are my options? 9:47 AM You can check for the return option with the place of purchase if you want to use the dual sim phone. 9:49 AM Its now a 2 day old open box item. It will also cost me a $restocking fee. Was told that at purchase. I do not want to pay more money for something that I just dropped $1300 on. 9:50 AM It's never our intention to provide the inconvenience to the customers. We always strive to create a positive customer experience. However, the dual sim phones are not available on the Samsung US website. 9:52 AM Everywhere that I read about the phone, nowhere did it state US versions would not be dual sim. I was instructed by an approved dealer that the phone was dual sim. Now you are informing me it is not. Both my carriers are capable and the phone doesn't support as advertised? Again, I would have gladly ordered a phone online that wasnt US if that were the case. 9:52 AM Is there another solution? 9:52 AM Is there a firmware flash? 9:52 AM A simple bios update and a new tray. 9:53 AM You can check on the official Samsung website. The dual sim phones are not available. You can check for the eSim facility by contacting the carrier. 9:55 AM So the answer you are giving me is all the advertisement on the phone for dual sim functionality is currently false as the website itself says that it isn't available? 9:56 AM Yes, the dual sim phones are not available on the official Samsung US website. 9:57 AM The advertisements you have seen might be for the Non-US version phones. 9:58 AM So there is no solution to my problem? You were saying to take it back as a brandade to the fact you cant help my issue. 9:58 AM So are non US versions dual sim? 9:59 AM I would have been happy to help you but the option for the dual sim is not available. However, you can check for the non-US version phones for the dual Sim compatibility. 10:01 AM Is it possible to swap Samsung directly to replace for a correct version of the phone? 10:01 AM It is literally 2 days old. 10:01 AM You need to check the available options with the place of purchase. 10:03 AM Thank you for trying to assist me. 10:03 AM You're welcome. 10:04 AM One last question, Do you have a customer review section you can link up? 10:05 AM You can provide us with the feedback when the chat ends. 10:07 AM Thank you. I would like to feedback everywhere possible. I will also be seeking out every form of social media as well as reaching out to friends to help me spread the word about the support I have received. 10:09 AM I really apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. I would have been happy to help if there was any option available. 10:11 AM I get it. You have a dealer supply chain for a reason. Its unfortunate they do not have to know the product they sell. Its more unfortunate that the end user consumer gets stuck with a $1300 dollar piece of (equipment) that does not even serve one of the single functions for buying the phone. That isnt your fault.
