Have stores like Wal Mart and Best Buy run deals on smart phones on Black Friday in the past?

What kind of deals have they offered?

I'm particularly interested in buying a higher end Galaxy (SII or SIII) with prepaid minutes to limit my monthly cost.

[tinkrbel]

I remember smart phones in the Walmart saturday sales but not sure if they had prepaid options or BF sales as such.

I get deals texted to me. Last year that is how I found out about a 10inch tablet that was for sale cheaper than the 7inch version at BB where I was camping out to shop. I really don't remember phone deals sorry...

Sams not sans!

Yes all companies have sales and often special pricing for their service on Black Friday. In the past, one of the things they did was Verizon had double your data, etc. on BF.

This is the only thing I am looking for. I would love to get the Galaxy s3. My iphone 4 hasn't worked right for 6 months

[Jen8112]

Sprint will have the GS3 for $50 on BF. I plan on getting two.

[Jenn_A]

i am on att...i hope they have a special too.

I think I just saw a commercial that the GS3 was buy one get one free on AT&T. Doesn't help you if you only want one though. Lol

I've been buying phones on black Friday for a few years. Best Buy, Target, Radio Shack and Walmart all have deals which range from about 10-50 percent off.

One word of advice, if it's a prepaid phone, order over the internet when the BF deals become available and then activate at home. In stores, people are trying to ACTIVATE along with buy cell phones, so the wait is horrible.

If you can deal with the phones you have for another 2 years then its defiantly worth it cuz you can sell your iPhone 5s for like $500-600 each on eBay. That could fund most of our BFs. Lol

We bought the upgrade before this past one at Radio Shack on Black Friday. They had special pricing, whooped the pants off of AT&T corporate store pricing. We actually bought later in the day, they weren't the hot ticket on BF.

[thaslick1]

That's what I though. I have an iPhone 4S but for $50 why not right?! Lol. I just saw the Radio Shack BF ad and they have the GSIII for $50 but its for new activations only. Does anyone know if its in Sprint stores only or can I order online?

Looks like SAMs has the GSIII for $.97 on BF. Can't make out in the ad what carrier it's for or if its new activations or not. Looks like the blue or white one and I know Sprint has those colors. Does say in store only. Sent from my iPhone using GottaDeal

It says for qualifying 2-year service agreement so I guess that upgrades too? I was happy with $50 but really happy with $.96! If its for Sprint I will be getting a blue one and a white one.

I think Sams has the Galaxy S III for .49 cents...or did I not read the ad correctly?
