Samsung Galaxy S3

The Samsung Galaxy SIII was promoted as having Sprint plans available.  Is this different from the plans I see on the page now? 

Galaxy 3 has issues with the chareing USB port. HSN insurance plan will not honor my purchase of 7 months gao, referred me to Samsung. This means lose of phone for 11 days and lose of all info stored on the phone including music purchased through Google play store. I will never do business with HSN or Samsung again….Lousy service on both ends.

Galaxy 3 on Ebay for,$169.00 since the 5 is out now 3 is even cheaper,I own the. 3 and 4 no diff the 5 is just clearer

I’ve done quite a bit of searching and could not yet find anyone who had issues updating to KitKat on the S3. So far this is all I’ve found; "…from what I’ve seen these updates are limited to the hardware of the Note 3 as those with S4 and older Note devices don’t have them."

So I don’t know. I’m going to try the phone.

If my phone is working I see no reason to update to KitKat. By the time they come out with the Cheesecake update I’ll probably have a new phone.

…and when that KitKat update hits that 2 year old hardware…

you’ll understand why I started this thread.

But, hey, don’t listen to me.

I don’t know what I’m talking about.

And weren’t they pushing that it is Jelly Bean…when KitKat is the newest version (as of 10/31/13). I don’t know Android but I knew that.

Oh, I understand that. If it was for my son, no way. But no more than I use a phone I just don’t want to invest in a contract phone at this time. If I get the 4G LTE coverage on this phone, I will be thrilled.

I was just stating a fact. I hope everyone who buys this phone really loves it.

Two years old in the tech world is a long time…that’s all I’m saying.

I’m showing 4G LTE coverage so I’m getting this phone. I’d love a Galaxy S5 but this will do everything I need, at a much better price.

They really havent come out with much since only the nots which are huge for a phone. This is a really great phone also the Galaxy s2.

I purched a TracPhone and the date on the phone was 2010. If it was so hard to text, I would go back to the flip phone

I have a Galaxy S3 and I love it. My husband and sons have newer models but I am not as tech savy as they are. I have a different provider and when we purchased our phones last fall I practically got the S3 for free!

I have this phone, and despite the date it was first released, it’s still an excellent phone. I can’t think of any negatives. I highly recommend the TS, it’s a great value, and no one will laugh at you if they see you using it.  I’ve also been with Virgin Mobile for about 7 years without any issues. Just make sure to check the coverage map to make sure you can use VM’s service before purchasing.
