Oh no, I am going to have someone take over my plan while I am gone.

As for prices there. Here are the telecom website mentioned earlier
https://www.optus.com.au/ and Telstra

Thanks!

Not sure which carrier you are with but with Fido and Rogers, I believe you can have them put a hold on your contract for people who know they will be away and will not use the service for an indeffinate period.

I talked to a friend who works at Rogers and they say the max is 4 months.

Is it four months? I told my friend who is an account manager at Rogers that I planned on cancelling my contract because I'm going to Asia for a while, and she said that it would probably be more beneficial to pause my contract, so when I return I can keep my number.

$20 a month to park, or $10 a month if you cancel your data plan. Cancelling your data plan costs $10 per month remaining on your contract up to a max of $100.

In need of some advice. Currently with Fido without contract; looking for Locked Note II, which provider should I best go with when porting my number over?

TIA!

With whoever gives the best deal.. bell and telus gives the highest port-in credits I think. I've been with Telus for 8 years myself but my workplace gets no reception :( I find rogers pretty enticing.. but they weren't offering anything worthwhile for me to jump ship
Maybe it'll be different for you since you're with fido?

Although Rogers has good reception, my friend told me that shit is getting bad over there.. Not sure what he meant.

BaoTurbo 11-12-2012 01:37 AM

Service is getting shittier with Rogers and the willingness to give good deals to customers that will attract them more versus other competitors. I got a year left on my contract. Thinking of jumping ship to another carrier to sign 3 years for so that I dont go with Robbers for another 4 years for the Note II or S3

Yeah I asked a person working at the Rogers store and also my friend, both said only up to 4 months. Even during the 4 months you have to pay, something like $15 for data and $12 for the voice plan.

Razor Ramon HG 11-13-2012 03:07 PM

How much is a N2 worth? Lots of ads on CL for $700 and up. I really want one, but can't justify more than $600.

whoever wants split screen, you should install Saurom-Projekt ROM its stock everything but tweaked mods

ShadowBun 11-14-2012 01:47 AM

anyone know where to get a note 2 for wind/mobilicity for cheap? Under 600

BaoTurbo 11-14-2012 01:50 AM

Just asked Rogers. $229 if I HUP. Not really worth it but I'll see

inv4zn 11-14-2012 11:04 AM

How is everyone enjoying their note 2s?

Battery is a beast. 60% at the end of the day feels awesome :awwyeah:

There are some corners that are a bit rough (coming from an iphone), such as notifications and whatnot, but overall it's all good.

Some of the "features" don't really work as well as they're supposed to; mainly the smart-eye things, where it adjusts rotation to my face and keeps the screen on while i'm looking at it. The pen alarm thing doesn't work so well either.

Is there a way to get fonts without paying $3?

604STIG 11-15-2012 02:40 PM

I picked my Note 2 up from Rogers last friday. Do I just not know how or does this version of the phone not have the split screen function? My buddies phone (international version) starts the process by holding down the "back" button, nothing happens on mine.

c3m 11-15-2012 03:12 PM

^ The current NA version don't have it yet.

International version got an OTA update couple weeks ago for it

SumAznGuy 11-15-2012 05:16 PM

I'll be back from Holidays tomorrow. Does anyone know which Rogers syores have the N2 in stock? Just got another enail that my phone is still on back order and my current SGS is crashing way too often that I almost want to throw the phone against the wall.

Eclypz 11-15-2012 11:31 PM

Not sure if anybody saw this, but Rearth's Ringke Slim hard case is on sale for only $10.99, which is 50% off.

It's sold out on their website, but they have stock on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Feeling-Premium-Verizon-Unlocked/dp/B009POUJ5S/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1351715792&sr=1-1&keywords=note+2+rearth
Here's their product page:
Rearth Samsung Galaxy Note 2 SLIM Case

I actually don't have a Note2, but I have their case for the Galaxy Nexus and I think its pretty good quality.
