I got my s5s unlocked but it was after the 6 months. These Note 8s are under a 12 month contract tho. Not sure if you can get it unlocked b4 that contract is up or if AT&T only checks the device as under contract with them or lost /stolen device.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Took Samsung 10 days after the S8 survey closeout to start notifying people. Good luck to all and enjoy the long.... long... wait :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
I got a survey for the note 8!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bestlands:
Im not using user agent string. I used a link where it tells me my version number on my phone which i modified to the note 4. So when they see what device i took it from, it will tell them SM-N910

---------- Post added at 06:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 AM ----------

First, its a contract with samsung not att. So when you go to the unlock page at least when i did for my s8+. I said i was a pevious att customer who wanted to get it unlocked. So in three days they send me the unlock code. put in my t mobile sim and it was ready to go. So know that loophole was blocked for prepaid customers, but im not sure if postpaid customers it still works for. So i took the safe route and said I was with t mobile. Off course i could have also said i was with verizon (there phones are unlocked) but I didn't want to deal this time with the changed roms of carrier thing that i had to deal with.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Best of luck! The Note 8 looks awesome!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
Wondering if we can still get picked for the Note 8 if we did the survey on an S8. Prolly not
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Oooooo.... Ya know I've seen it happen a couple years ago. Depends on what samsung is looking for in the surveys returned. I have the S8 not even half way through the 12 month trial and they sent me a survey for the Note 8. So I am fairly sure they will pass me over, one more Note 8 for somebody else!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Having an s8 or s8 us has nothing to do with getting selected as long as you dont have it through insights program. For all they know you lost your phone and did the survey on your wifes s8 or s8 plus. It doesnt matter
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] michaelgcarro:
I received a survey for the S8 back in April but didn't get in, this time I didn't receive a survey. I guess my chances of getting into the program are gone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SkyZero101:
Never thought I'd be back here! Completed my s7 edge program and it was complete silence from Samsung for a year. All of a sudden I check my email to a Note 8 survey! It's going to be at least one month of anxious email refreshing for me...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Nah not that long. They are supposed to be speedinf up the process
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Hey Joehen. Does your insider have any idea what the criteria is? My last participation was the S6, which IIRC ended like March or so last year. Haven't gotten any response to writing them. Received the email to refer 3 people, never heard from them again. People I referred have not gotten anything either. Just wondering what the chances of being picked again are after completing 2 studys with them?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Hi [MENTION=4997760]Joehen873[/MENTION]! Any idea of how fast a turnaround they are aiming for? Completed a survey and so anxious now!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Awww yeah guys guess what!!?!?!?!?

It's Monday! I bet we will hear something on the 25th... Happy waiting Y'all!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Hope so! The anticipation is killing me

-pation that is tough... Don’t remember how long it took for my S7 from survey to “welcome”..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
I'm not sure for the S7. Deleted the survey email but kept tracking/welcome. Took 4 days from the welcome email to the tracking email.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
You might be right , but i was told it would be a faster process. But was also told they wanted to keep an eye on the note jist to make sure we didn't have another bomb. As soon as i hear more ill let you guys know
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
Thanks man :good:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
Just sitting over here, hoping for another round of surveys....oh, and to be included in them!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Just got my welcome to the note8 study check your emails guys
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
Congratulations.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Thank you , did you get a survey
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Yep, me too! I got a welcome email as well. Very excited! Thanks for everybody's help!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
Nope. Not yet. :(

Scratch that.....just came in. YAY!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] power_book:
Just got acceptance email. WoW it's fast.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
I got it! picked the Gear 360 as the free accessory as well!!! So exciting!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sleepwlk78:
Did the survey and awaiting a response. Fingers crossed. Haven't a note since the note 2 and really want to try it out.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Congrats! How long do you guys think it is going to take to get the phones delivered? Mine is a TMobile Note 8 and it shows as in stock...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
It says shipping soon and the gear 360 is October 1st.

congrats as well
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
my wife just got her email . she got the att note 8 b
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Where does it say 'Shipping Soon'--in the space that the Gear 360 says October 1st? Are you seeing that in the order email or in the order status online? I see 'In Stock' for the Note 8 and Oct 2 and 7-10 Business Days for the 128gb card and the wireless charging thing respectively. When I look online at the order status, I see that the card and the charger are listed as 'Backordered', but the Note 8 is listed as 'Confirmed'. I'm wondering which is faster: 'shipping soon' or 'in stock'?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
congrats !

guess i am left out again :(

but my wife got one :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
Welcome email here as well.. So happy. Yay us!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SkyZero101:
looks like no phone for me... congrats to everyone who got in!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
Congratulations to those getting a phone. Looks like it's better luck next time for myself. Can't wait to read about y'all getting them in hand and your thoughts on it!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] davidw8818:
My girl just got the invitation! Good luck guys!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Gannon247:
Got my promo code and ordered. Got extra's too.. This is my SECOND note study in a row!! I guess my S8 will go back into its box for a year and come out for brief periods for updates along with my note 5 (from the previous study).

Yay me!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
What carrier are you, if you don't mind my asking?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
ATT

oh, and 10 minutes later, I got an email from another tester network I am in and I am getting a 65" 4K TV for free! Today is a good day!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
So I'd guess that either the TMobile versions are shipping faster or the ATT, depending on whether 'in stock' or 'shipping soon' means a shorter time until warehouse departure. If you try to place dummy orders on Samsung.com, you get an estimated ship time of 3-5 business days for all carriers, except for Sprint, who get 7-10 days, I believe, but perhaps some are closer to 3 and some are closer to 5? Just speculating!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
the way I read it is the have the Black ones in stock waiting for us. It is also giving us free 2 day shipping. Who knows, all I know is I am getting a Note 8, right on time since my Pixel XL I got for free last year is getting boring as hell. I miss the Note series so much.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Wow, go you!! Impressive!! Hey, if you are looking at your order on Samsung's website, do you still have the option to 'cancel order', next to the Note 8? I still do, so clearly my order is not very long into the process, but if yours says 'shipping soon', do you still have the 'cancel order' option (not that you would want to, of course) or has that gone away?

---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

That's a good point! I forgot about the part where they specified the black ones being in the inventory, like, as you said, they were set aside for us. Smart guy! And guy with many toys to play with as well!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
yeah, mine says confirmed and the cancel order is still there. So I'm in the same boat as you.

Yeah, I already have a 65" 4ktv but my bedroom doesn't.

I just got in a accident last weekend so this is a big pick me up.

have fun guys, I'm out for the night.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
For those who didn't get picked up "even my wife" they will do another round of surveys tomorrow around the same time or a tad earlier. Still a chance to get picked up!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
sorry

but is this confirmed ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] FiendFyre:
I really hope so! I didn't picked yet :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Good Question,

All of the 5 surveys that I have received the Insights team sent out acceptance emails to people at least 2 days in a row. You can go back in this thread to confirm.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Chipper2028:
Has anyone with Verizon gotten an acceptance email yet?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
Just ordered the Note from Samsung. Can't wait for it! :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sleepwlk78:
I have Verizon and did not get an acceptance email. Two of my referrals are Verizon also and they got nothing. I'm hoping something will come tomorrow.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
They will but i dont see it being tomorrow. Its supposed to be 2 rounds with the second 1 being bigger
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] michaelgcarro:
Congratulations to all that got in. It's great to see familiar names on this forum finally getting accepted after waiting for so long. To the rest of us that didn't get it, better luck next time! :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] wawaweewa:
Hi all is the program still on going so i can sign up?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Febby:
I haven’t been emailed anymore since my old s6 study... oh well ahhh :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
Yes. I'm with Verizon and I got the welcome email Thursday evening. I'm at work and will order as soon as I get home.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Congrats everyone who got picked! I got my acceptance email as well. Hopefully those that didn't will get picked up in the second round!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] wawaweewa:
[emoji17]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
ATT. Ordered mine 30 mins within the email yesterday with the Gear 360. Might just sell the 360 lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
I wasn't expecting the freebies also, but they made it that much sweeter! Samsung for Life[emoji847][emoji106]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Usually about a week after you get thw phone they send out emails for referrals
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Beninrich:
Anyone got accepted today?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
maybe they will have send out the rest next week

I was waiting for the email too :(

started since the note 3 but for some reason i have been ignored for the last two and all my referrals have been accepted .
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Streiw:
I got the acceptance email at 5pm EST. I was part of last year's Note 5 recipients also. Sprint back then, AT&T this time. Opted for the 360 camera since the convertible wireless charger can be bought on eBay for $20.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
When I got my galaxy s7 edge study one of the freebies was a gear VR.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
Same here, I was part of the Note 5 last year and got my acceptance email for T-Mobile note 8 Friday Morning. I opted for the 360 camera as well :)

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------

Anyone receiving the shipping details? I ordered mine on Friday evening around 6:30 EST
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
I haven't gotten any shipping details. I ordered Thursday around 5:00 pm, TMobile version. It said 'in stock' in the shipping confirmation email for the device, and then listed various shipping dates for the freebie accessories. When I went online to check the order status, the Note 8 lists as 'Confirmed' and the freebies list as 'Backordered'. No dates anywhere. If you try to order the Note 8 TMobile version on Samsung's site, it says it ships in 3 to 5 business days...but does that mean it arrives at your home in 3 to 5 days, or it leaves the warehouse in 3 - 5 days and then arrives two days later at your home?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
I told them T-mobile :( I guess I picked the wrong team lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] B|acknd:
Did you guys randomly get an email from Samsung to join the insights program? I emailed them and received an email back stating to make sure my device is registered, which it is. At the end of the email it states

" You can also participate by providing the name of your program referral."

Does this mean I just need a referal from a person? If so, can someone hook me up? :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] malickie:
Yup, I just got the reply from them saying I been accepted after of course we send the confirmation e-mail once we get it.

Getting S5 in Black
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
My jealousy has just increased 100x fold, congrats on getting picked. I selected AT&T, let's just hope they are generous enough to let me participate.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
This will be my first brand spanking new phone I've gotten since my Atrix 4G which was I think 5 years ago. I always buy my phones off eBay or Amazon at least a year after their release. But it outright since I don't want a contract. I can't believe they accepted me. I don't have that kind of luck. Lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
Wah I'm sad right now :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Don't be sad. If you haven't gotten an email saying denied, you're still in the running. I'm am really suprised I even for the email today since it's MLK day. No USPS service, but electronic is different.

So many people say Samsung sucks, they luck down their devices with KNOX, their devices are crap etc etc. After this, I am a Samsung lifer. Just like when my Packers totally screwed that game yesterday, I'm still a cheesehead for life. Doesn't matter to me. [emoji3]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
do you think they will send me an email either way?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Oh yeah, you'll hear either way. I was reading this thread and someone actually got a denial. Don't know the circumstances surrounding the denial, however
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
sweetness, I'm using AT&T right now but I'm transitioning to T-mobile, so I put T-mobile, hopefully that doesn't mess up anything. Thank you once again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
I'd be interested to know the ratio of carriers in the program. Does Samsung equally distribute or are they biased towards certain carriers. I wonder. Do the carriers pay for the program? Never thought of that.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] malickie:
I am willing to bet samsung does their choosing based more or metrics than anything. As in t-mobile has x amount of clients AT&T had x more clients.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
same here, I'm thinking this is how they get some of there customer feedback and usage knowledge

not feedback necessarily, but to get an average on what to base future updates on I think

---------- Post added at 03:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 AM ----------

so if ATT had 10 customers they'd get say 4 phones, and if tmobile had 12 customers, they would get 6?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] malickie:
Yea pretty much that, I mean if your in the business of making money are you going to ship more items to a business with less clients or would you be more apt to ship them to the business that has more clients who in turn generate more business. Simple math kind of if you think about it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
so if I'm a t-mobile customer I would be 3rd on there list,Verizon, AT&T, then T-mobile? Makes sense
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] malickie:
Yea I think t-mobile would rank 3rd in that lineup. Although it's not quite that simple. They probably take into account the amount of people per carrier but I am sure they also probably look at how many people buy their products at each carrier and how much revenue they get per carrier. Among other things such as cost to make cdma vs gsm and such.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
that's true, I did some googling, couldn't find any other manufacturers that offer this type of chance
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
With a program such as this, where you are gathering info on how the end user uses their phone, wouldn't you want an equal amount of feedback from all the big 4? You'd think the little guys would be more likely to get in the program than the Giants. Interesting.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
agreed, but then again they probably rely on reps etc instead of thinking about what other competitors are doing, which I'm sure other manufacturers do know, I mean how can they not?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] B|acknd:
Do any of you guys that just got picked have any referals left? If I get a referal, I'll give mine back to people in this thread.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
Exactly bro! It's the same for me, my freebie 360 cam is backordered and It just says confirmed on the web page. I wonder when they ship.... one of my friend had ordered an unlocked S8+ and it took 2 days for it to ship and 4 days to reach (it's expedited 2 day but it's only on weekdays -_-) he had to wait Friday and Monday (*2 days*) for it to reach. Lol Rip 2 day logic :/
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
I read online that the unlocked versions were shipping very slowly--hopefully the carrier versions are faster. I want my beautiful free Note 8 now!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
I wonder if they ship on weekends.... We can expect it to be in our hands by Thursday or Friday next week if they ship on Monday. :good:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
It may change to shipped status over the weekend, but FedEx/UPS aren't going to get a hold of it until Monday at the earliest. If it gets to the shipping company on Monday, we'll get it on Wednesday--two day shipping is pretty reliable...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
That's what it says as of now for the curious, and I guess the next round of invites will start rolling out from Monday :) Good luck for those waiting [emoji106]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
I think the 'confirmed' is referring to the payment status. I wish it said something about it being in stock, or ready to ship, or something!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
I guess it means that the particular item is in stock and assigned, but yet to be shipped..... :confused:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
That sounds about right...although I'm not sure about the 'assigned' part. I'd love to think that the system, somewhere, has set aside a beautiful Note 8 with my name on it, and is just waiting to ship it out, but I am dubious!

I heard that one of the things delaying Note 8 orders was payment--people have trade ins, and credits for being former Note 7 owners, etc and those were complicated to process. Hopefully our 'free' status should help in that regard.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Cobdust:
Will there be another her round of emails?

Hey, I was wondering if there will be another round of emails for the Note 8?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
People in the know (Joehen873, etc) seem to think so...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Cobdust:
Oh okay, thank you when willl it be? Next week?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
No idea...I am not in the know :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Keep us updated on the shipping details! I ordered mine Friday morning around 8am est. I also ordered the gear 360 which is listed as "ships October 1st" in my confirmation email. The note says its in stock so hopefully they'll be sent out Monday!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
What does your order status on Samsung's website say? Is it 'Confirmed', like the rest of us? And what carrier are you?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
Will do :)

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

Yes, it says confirmed and I ordered the T-Mobile note 8.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
My Note 8 status says "confirmed" and the gear 360 is "backordered". My carrier is AT&T.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Well, fingers crossed everybody, that our lovely free Note 8's ship soon! Looking on the online comments, it looks like a lot of orders are finally shipping out. I think they had a big backlog at the beginning, but hopefully it is clearing out...

Best of luck to those still waiting from the last round of surveys!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
It will probably be between Wednesday and Friday. Because last time when I got accepted for Note 5, I received the acceptance on Thursday afternoon, same with others who got accepted. It was between Wednesday and Friday just like note 8. Good luck! :good::fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Cobdust:
People got the phones, so next week there will be another emails sent?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
just ordered my case and screen protector. I want them here before the phone. I don't want my pixel XL debacle to happen again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Yes there will be and guys what im hearing is most likely they will ship monday or tuesday we should definitely have the note 8 in hand by Friday. Now remember guys these are a package that have to be signed for so you must be home or do what i did and drive aroundfor hours looking for FEDEX truck.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Hey, fantastic news on the shipping, Joehen! I can't wait to have my Note 8 in hand :) I've been working myself into a tizzy waiting for the status to change to 'shipped'...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MCarbo:
It's a phone, not a woman. . .sheesh:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
I'm easily excitable. :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] QuickStriker:
Hi everyone, I know I'm a little late to the party but is there still a chance for anyone who wasn't into this program yet to still get in somehow?

Possibly not for this current round for future rounds? I've been seeking a way in for ages and someone I met online directed me here so I'm giving my hopeless shot in. I'll forever be in that person's debt including shoutouts on my Twitch streams and YouTube haha.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
The only way to get in is through referrals. So stay up to date on this thread and hopefully some one can give you a referral
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SkyZero101:
[MENTION=4997760]Joehen873[/MENTION] any idea on future study invitations? my fingers remain crossed
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Cloud9000:
Ditto for me as well. I will watch this thread like a hawk for updates.
