Samsung Galaxy S3 for $50 on Black Friday

Ordered mine last night... I had to use the upgrade on my brothers line (on my account) but imma give him my S2 and put the S3 on my line... has anybody had issues with this type of upgrade/flip flop in the past? I've never done it before. If all else fails i'll just activate the phone on his line and we'll both have to change our numbers and what not...

Im kinda upset because we dont have LTE here in Greensboro as of yet.. and I checked that LTE rollout thread and nothing was said about Greensboro either. I guess i'll be using 3G and WiFi until we get the tower upgrades but since i'm from ATL i'll be visiting frequently and I cant wait to test out LTE! :D

Nope, never had an issue. I did it back when I wanted the Epic 4G Touch. Seems to be the norm these days.

Excellent!!! I remember when the OG Epic came out... I had a Moment at the time and added another line because I wanted that phone just that bad! LOL. Hopefully i'll be able to do all of the activation/flip floppin online to avoid talking to Customer Care >> Tech >> Tech 2...

I normally purchase my phones at stores for that purpose alone but since my brother was at work with his Blackberry I didn't want to cut his phone off early and have him cussin me out when he got home. I really hate waiting on something after I pay for it tho. :mad:

Is there no fee for all this flipping?
That was gonna be my next question but I dont think so... I didnt pay an extra fee when I flip flopped my OG Epic but at the same time it was done at Best Buy...
