[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alprazolam:
In most instances when I place an order, my card is charged at about the same time that the product goes into shipping status. I believe that the process is likely that the device is scanned to be sent to you and your card is charged simultaneously. It takes less than a second for your card to be approved.

I just tried to place an online order for a GN2 with in store pickup (for my girlfriend) and there were no stores with the phone in stock. I live in Atlanta.

As for the "glitch". Maybe it is a glitch but there is plenty of reason to believe that Verizon has in fact purposely set up this deal. They have tried in many ways to get everyone switched over, and I wouldn't be surprised if the number of holdouts was more than they expected. I know several folks who refuse to give up unlimited and they don't even know why they are holding out and probably barely use a gig per month. These are non-enthusiasts! Verizon wants to make as much as it can off of you, but they also don't want to lose you, because they were making plenty of money back when everyone was on unlimited. Many are starting to defect to other carriers because why buy at full price and pay the high cost of unlimited when you can do the same for much less elsewhere. In the end, contracts matter and getting you to sign up for another is better than losing you. Even with unlimited.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] WLPDroid:
Don't forget that there was a rumor about a month ago that Verizon would possibly run a promotion for unlimited data for the Note 3. Maybe when it is available for sale in the stores, we may see the promotion officially rolled out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jetguat:
I have already pre-ordered online using the verizon iconic site. How do I go about trying to get the $299.99 subsidized price? what about using the VERIZON30 or FIFTYRMN codes. I cannot find where/how to cancel my existing preorder. and if i go to the iconic site.. its not letting picking anything else but month to month.

can someone that preordered post how they did this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Han Solo 1:
I'm having a sinking feeling.

I think I'm going to cancel my glitch order and go with first pre order.

just got off support with verizon and they said coupon expired
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:
Holy shi* I got in just in time :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mi7chy:
Coupon doesn't work online as it doesn't even give you the option to input it for the Note 3 (other phones work like LG G2) but smart for you if you managed to call in order. On top of that, there's also a free activation deal that expires 9/30 but chat support claims it's good on the Note 3 even though it doesn't ship until 10/10. I saved the chat history for proof.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] kenkimg:
couldnt resist...

Have been reading hour by hour with baited breath just about, all your great postings and updates about the verizon N3 preorder and availability rumors on here. Came across the infamous unlimited data "glitch" late last night. Since i'm on the unlimited plan, just got done chatting with some rep online, who stated:

"I can not guarantee that you can keep unlimited data if you select it during the order. I can not confirm if we will allow you to keep it, or change it. I do not have access to this information, since this error is getting fixed." [$35 cancellation/restocking fee applies after phone delivered and activated]

After all being said and since it sounds like they may have an army of programmers trying to change the system as we speak, figured what the heck and put in my order for a Note 3 upgrade from my current S3 with continuation of unlimited plan, with still a 10/10 ship date. If verizon tries to reneg on this, they could easily face a class action lawsuit because it's pretty cut and dry during the order process that the unlimited data plan is available for those who currently carry it and elect to keep it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] nateholton:
to make sure about coupon tried on htc one and says invalid still
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] leyvatron:
You don't have an unlimited plan.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:
Nope but I got 30% off. Thats a win in my book (I originally paid $709. Glad I canceled then re-ordered)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] nateholton:
i must not qualify
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] leyvatron:
Very true. That's a good price.

Where is op [MENTION=541652]????[/MENTION]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Han Solo 1:
lol. I'd be surprised if he shows.

And if he does, I'm sure he will blame it on his bad sources that he will surely be strangling on Monday for "making me look like a fool."

Whatever. Maybe next time he shouldn't say "It will be shipping 9/29".
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
He still has a few hours and I hope he is right still but now I'd be putting money on we are still a week away. His sources aren't trust worthy and yeah he won't show up
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alprazolam:
Working?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
On Sunday??

Doesn't he work for fedex?? Don't think he is delivering packages today
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:
Hiding in fear of my pitchfork
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
That's it. I have more then that prepared lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Han Solo 1:
If you think about it, it's our fault for being gullible.

When you get home from work and your stupid dog has destroyed the furniture and took dumps all over your bed, who is to blame? The stupid dog, or you, for trusting him that he wouldn't sh*t all over your house?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:
Well I would beat the dog. So it's his fault.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keymaster911:
Guys.. Dont blame me.. If this sh*t dont go down tonight.. All I did is give you leak info that I received.. Trust me when I say this. If I wake up tomorrow and dont have a tracking number. I am canceling my order also.. And my deepest apologies goes to you guys..

Save yourself the problem.. Don't ask.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Skeeter35:
I've been following this thread since the beginning. It's funny how everyone is blaming the OP for passing on info he got. Everyone wants to flame the OP. First off he doesn't control Fedex or Vzw, so why blame him. If you expected his word to be solid it's you own fault. So stop whining and wanting to torch the OP for something thats not in his control. You are the one that built your hopes up. Take it for what it's worth, You will get it when you get. Stop threatening the OP.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] YankInDaSouth:
No worries man! You did what every self respecting Android enthusiast would do with what they thought was good intel, you shared it with the community! Don't think anyone can fault you for that!!

Good looking out, I say!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jboogie1289:
Yeah, I'll still check my status casually as I have been doing with no expectations and when I do see something different I'll let you guys know (if you don't beat me to it). And with that, I'm off to check.............:silly:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] msnikke:
Can you please explain where I would enter the promo code
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:
Haha to be honest man, Im not even mad. I just thought it'd be fun to poke atchya :highfive:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Han Solo 1:
Wait a minute, the OP might actually be right!!!

I just got a call from Verizon fraud dept, asking me to confirm shipping address (I put down my work address because I don't trust my apartment complex office to actually hold the package for me or sign for it when it gets there).

I asked him when this was shipping out to me, and he said that it was shipping out momentarily and that I should be getting an email tomorrow!!

WTF!!??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keymaster911:
Cool

Save yourself the problem.. Don't ask.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
credit card charged?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] flascrnwrtr:
Has your status page at Verizon Wireless changed?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tuxdreamerx:
Now no one is going to sleep because they will be up all night checking the status.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mrlaigle:
Where did you put the code in? I don't see it when processing the order?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] flascrnwrtr:
They (VZW) said that the code is now expired.

Also, just saw on DroidLife's Twitter that VZW has closed the glitch. So, I guess it will be a waiting game to see if they honor the unlimited or stick them all with 2GB data.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] KruseLudsMobile:
Same 10/10 for shipping to NJ on the VZ website. No notifications received...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
Same for me in Ohio
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mi7chy:
Coupon doesn't work for high demand phones like the Note 3 so it won't even prompt you for a promo code. For example, when I tried earlier it worked on the LG G2 but not Note 3. LG G2 was super tempting for the price but ended up ordering the Note 3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] kenkimg:
Only somebody with device upgrades available and currently has an unlimited plan can confirm whether they closed the unlimited hole--my gut sez may still be open
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:
Worked for me. I posted a screen shot a few post back. :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mrlaigle:
Yeah where did you put the code?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mi7chy:
But you don't have unlimited data, right?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:
I called before the code went bad

Negative, just 10GB.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmc98droid1:
Is this for real or are you joking ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] emsrider:
I have a shipping number for my wife's phone. Nothing saying I lost the unlimited. When I called 611 I talked to 2 people who each said I have unlimited data plans on my 2 upgrade orders. They told me that the glitch is closed, but they will honor the contracts.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
Order number or tracking number and for what phone?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tuxdreamerx:
Doubt its a N3...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] randpost:
If you call in and order from a VZW Rep, and mention the 30% code, they will either manually enter a discount for you or offer you free accessories. Perhaps they might do other stuff too like just tell you no, but that's what I was offered. I pre-ordered the Note 3 and since they had no cases in stock for the Note 3 I order a battery pack and a 2 LG G2 Incipio Feather cases and wasn't charged for them. Retail value was 99.99 for the pack and 24.99 for each of the cases. I left the conversation happy.

Not sure if this matters, but; My account has 7 smartphone lines on a data share plan. I seem to get treated well every time I call.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] emsrider:
Sorry for not specifying. Tracking number for my wife's Motorola Droid Maxx. They then confirmed my address for another order because my wife's is headed to my house and my GN3 is headed to my work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] marcusdeshaun:
Out of curiosity can someone try the status page using the regular order number, not the pre-order number and see if you get a different status? I didnt get a standard order number because i ordered through the comcast site to get a gift card since I'm new to Verizon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] flybass:
I get that the order isn't found when I use order number instead of preorder. My preorder still says 10/10..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmc98droid1:
Doesn't reconize the order number yet
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Chris95GT:
When I use my preorder number I got as a regular online order I get "Your order was received and is being processed". when I use my ORDER number as a verizonwireless.com order I get my order number and an empty tracking number with a note saying it's expected ship date is 10/10.

No change or charges here yet. I've only been pre-ordered for 2 weeks though.

I'm having second thoughts and considering canceling the pre-order though, I'm scared I won't be able to root it and install custom roms. :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
Interesting
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] CodyOdi:
Why wouldn't you be able to install any custom roms?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:
Damn dude your Hella late to the party. KNOX son. Search it for a ton of threads.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
I think it will get root for sure. As for the rest idk
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:
Root without tripping KNOX (aka the e-fuse)?

I'm hopeful.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TechBSwift:
What the F are you apologizing for? You tried to look out and give us some inside trading tips :cyclops:, it's not your fault that didn't come true.. Now I'm more worried about you not obtaining that piece of information regarding bootloader and root.... Ya I didn't forget what you said :p
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] flascrnwrtr:
If there's one thing I've learned over the years... there are people in the community that are (at a minimum) as smart as the people making things like KNOX. I've heard "can't be unlocked" and "can't be rooted" too many times. Are they making it more difficult... absolutely. Do I think there are any impossibilities... nope.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] CodyOdi:
Well that's kind of disappointing. But I thought this sort of thing has been going on for a while now... To be honest I wasn't planning on putting a custom ROM on the Note 3; but I better still be able to get root without voiding my warranty, ain't nobody got time for all that Verizon bloatware.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] deathshead:
I'll save you all the trouble...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Han Solo 1:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] js0uth:
im expecting 10/10 shipment. anything earlier will be a pleasant surprise :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] CodyOdi:
I'm hoping it's not the 10th... If it's the 10th then I probably won't get the phone until the 14th... The 9th would be fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:
Dito, I'll pick it up in stores if it doesn't ship by the before the 10th.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] js0uth:
Can you do that?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Impuls3101:
yes .. cancel the order on the 9th if it hasn't shipped and buy it in store on the 10th
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] js0uth:
oh no.... i placed the order today with the unlimited glitch thing. so i dont think thatll be an option for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
well no card charged and 10/10 on verizon website. looks like next week. expect them on the 9th guys! :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmc98droid1:
Look like it getting closer to time to move on to a different carrier
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] zepfloyd:
Definitely time to unsubscribe from this thread. While it would have been nice to see it ship early, the amount of self-entitlement running through this thread is pretty absurd; it's a phone, not an organ transplant.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keymaster911:
Well. No tracking number. . No update on order status.. just canceled my order... Thinking about ordering a Iphone now.. Got lied to about everything.. and I am sorry guys.. My happy asz is rolling on. Wish you all luck with Verizon over priced bull****.

Save yourself the problem.. Don't ask.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jamdiggity:
Well can't blame ya for passing along info that seemed legit at the time. These things will happen.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keymaster911:
I will say one thing to you guys. If your going to trade your note 2 in with Verizon. . You might want to get the appraisal now for it.. because when that note 3 does shipped. Your going to lose 50 bucks on trade in..

Here is the link for Verizon trade-in

Save yourself the problem.. Don't ask.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] CodyOdi:
Whoa... Just because you passed along incorrect information doesn't mean you have to do that to yourself. You passed along what you thought was true information at the time and most of us are thankful for that. I'm keeping my preorder because I am excited for the device and it's not as if Verizon is overpriced, every carrier that has a contract is overpriced; I'd rather pay for the one that still has service in the middle of nowhere.

I just wanted to tell you thank you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keymaster911:
Thanks for the write up. I have been thinking of switching to a iphone for a while now. . Before this came around. .

Let's keep it respectful in here please. There's no sense in getting worked up over something so silly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jsoren:
Give us a report after you deliver there. I am wildly entertained by this thread. Makes time pass by. Still intrigued by Han Solo's sitch. Waiting for him to get the vzw email he alluded to...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Hendrick2488:
Please let us know. I've been following this thread from day one. I won't cancel a pre-order because I believe I have a bit more patience, after all, its only over a week wait. I've waited longer for the HD MAXX.

For what its worth, I believe all you did was pass along some information. Good or bad, you passed it. I have my hopes up too but it is what it is. I believe that you have no control over the quality of the info, you are just the messenger. I don't kill the messenger.

10/10 WILL come and it WILL go. Phone or no phone. Everything else, is just fodder.

I would be interested in knowing what happened though and I do find it interesting that there were some other people who confirmed what you were saying on other levels.

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Han Solo 1:
Me too.

As you all can tell, I'm sure the OP was sold a bill of goods, but I really was told to expect a shipment "momentarily" and that I would get an email.

I'm not holding out too much hope, though, because the guy was from the fraud dept, not sales. He probably makes a thousand calls per day, double checking shipping addresses if they are different from the normal billing address, so he probably didn't even care/see which phone it was.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Dan76:
No update here yet either... but isn't it still a little early to totally give up? Maybe I'm overly optimistic... still hopeful at least.

I'm more worried about the glitch orders and whether or not I'll have to return it to keep ULD.

Keep us updated EZ, I for one appreciate your info even if it wasn't 100% correct... leaks never are.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TechBSwift:
I spoke with Verizon Customer Care manager this morning, I attempted to cancel my pre-order and the manager asked "how can I change your mind" (FYI I opened a new line). I told him I was going to AT&T because their released date was 10/4, he stated he's aware of that but tried to sale me on Verizon having the best coverage. He offer to waive my activation cost and give me a $15 credit. I asked him if he would overnight my phone for free and he said sure, he advised it will not ship until the 8 regardless if you paid for overnight shipping. He advised he's 100% sure about the shipping date as they had a team meetings because they continue to receive calls... Sorry to destroy our dreams of receiving the phone early.....

If the OP wants to redeem himself, get us that root and bootloader treat as you stated :cool:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] docnok63:
The wording on that tweet is grey in and of itself. "Promo pricing" could just mean promo codes like VERIZON30 and FIFTYRMN. It doesn't mention subsidized pricing at all. I've asked in the thread for clarification.

I hear you about the full retail order. I have both of mine still active and waiting for an official word today. Verizon HAS to make an official statement today because they have a TON of charge card authorizations from the weekend and have to update their books.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Han Solo 1:
The 8th is good enough for me, I suppose.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] 92slammer:
so whats the point in preordering if you get it the same day as the stores.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] deathshead:
Some People actually have full time jobs and no time to drive out to stores to pickup phones when they can get have it shipped

on the same day as release, perhaps a day or so earlier while saving the aggravation of dealing with people at the store, traffic and gas.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] YankInDaSouth:
The 8th works for me! I had a ship date of 10/10 getting it in my hands by the 12th ... the way I see it, I get it 2 days earlier then expected!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] seegs11:
The point of preordering is to ensure that you will be actually getting the phone when it's released, instead of the chance of the phone being sold out or put on back order. I don't think it necessarily means you're going to get the phone prior to the actual release date.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] YankInDaSouth:
I agree ... I have never done a preorder before and likely never will again. I'd cancel mine and just grab it in store on the 10th, but I'm still holding out hope Verizon honors the unlimited data upgrade glitch :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] 92slammer:
i work 50 hours a week and i could still make time to go to a store....now dealing with the clowns at the store is another thing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TechBSwift:
The only real benefit is it removes the middle man (Verizon employees) from opening your box and update Firmware.... I will never pre-order again
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
you will get preorder a day early that is all. preorders all usually come 1-2 days early. other then that no gain
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] YankInDaSouth:
Hey, that's good by me! Sat the 12th I'll be out of town, so a day early means I won't be sulking on Saturday knowing my phone is at the house but I ain't LOL

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jetguat:
Early would be cool. But I was prepared for the 10th when I placed the order, and that's still fine with me. What I've come to learn that is more potentially disappointing is that rooting the phone might not be possible. That throws a big wrench in trying to install all my backups from TB. Never been into custom roms, just rooting to be allowed full backups and stuff bloatware I dont want.

if rooting voids the warranty. I wonder what that means if you have the purchased Asurian coverage from VzW. its that now qualified? Maybe just drop it in a bucket (j/k) if you really needed something fixed.
