Question

Jules · Accepted Answer

I bought it at the store for this price.

JoeW · Answer

I had it shipped to store. Paid tax up front and 36 month payment plan added to my verizon account. Full purchase was an option....ship to store or home.

I went right to Best Buy but I bet you could go to a Samsung or your phone companies own store to maybe even get a better price...

Good question. The $499 price is elusive. In the store, it's listed as $699. The $499 price is only if you are starting a new phone line. So if you're upgrading an old phone, you're out of luck. In my case, Best Buy was offering a $200 trade-in allowance for my S8, which is still being offered. But only if you signed up for a three year contract with Verizon. We decided to go for that, but while checking us out, it turned out Best Buy had an unadvertised $250 discount on the phone. Whether they still are offering that or not is questionable. We still haven't gotten the rebate. I was on the chat line with Verizon for 2 hours, and Best Buy for 30 minutes. they both keep pointing the finger at each other. Best buy told me to go back to the store, which I did, and was told I had to go to a Verizon store. I haven't had the time to do that, and may just write the trade-ins off since I got the phones for $449 each. Supposedly the $250 discount is something they don't advertise, and usually lasts for a week. We were lucky with our timing. I would suggest you go to a store and ask them. Otherwise, we're very happy with the phones.

Hi Maggie, don't quote on this but, I believe that if you pay $499.00 for the S21 FE then you will need to have it activated at the same time you purchase this phone. Hope this helps :-)
