Is there a gaurantee that I will receive a "Samsung" original only phone and not one that has "Verizon, AT&amp;T, Sprint, T-Mobile stamped on it?

If you order from sellers anywhere other than the Samsung store... there would most likely be a logo either on the phone or when it powers on/off. Call Samsung directly... also, why do you want to order s3, unless they are selling for $100/$200.. even s5 is on its way I think...

Hi Jay and Bernadine. I did purchase this phone from an Amazon supplier (I'm currently with Sprint, but I'm not much of a Techie. So, regretfully, I don't know the answer to your question. I can look on my shipping box, find out specifically who mailed the phone to me, ask them your question and get an answer for you, if you'd like. Please let me know. My email address is fkendrick39@yahoo.com. Sorry I wasn't of much help, but let me know if you'd like for me to investigate further for you.

Sorry for not responding earlier. As far as I know the phone is fully original.

You need to look for it by carrier not model number. AT&T; are different than say version

I didn't get one. We ordered two phones. 1 worked great. 1 was junk. Good luck.

Hey John, I just wanted to let you know: the glass I received did not have "Samsung" up on the top like the original glass did. I'm thinking they might not accept the phone if that's missing. Apparently etradesupply.com carries the real thing. I think you might want to check there for new glass if you want to trade your phone in.

Mine was definitely used. Resealed into a generic Samsung box by the seller; "Zaarn". It was in mint condition though, with only one very tiny scratch on the corner. I would have been perfectly satisfied if it would have worked. It powered on great, but didn't work. Took it to AT&T; and they said it was an internal problem with network recognition. Even a new sim didn't work. Sucks being poor.....

If you order it at T-mobile it comes with one. Be sure to get the pay as you go plan and not standard monthly fee plan. PS if you plan on using this phone just far calling it OK. Do not expect to be able to play games or so.

When I got mine it was brand new, had just been opened so that the seller could "unlock" the phone. It's still branded AT&T;, and shows their startup screen, and has a lot of their "bloatware" installed. However, I got a SIM card from Consumer Cellular and put it in there, and I'm off and running.

Amazon forces sellers to join with other similar models. The page you are looking at is not mine but the one Amazon forces me to join and his/her is a clone and he/she admits it below in the question area, and I reported it to Amazon that it was a clone, but it's still here. Mine are 16gb N9002 and are genuine Samsung brands. Sorry for how I have to sell my phones I don't like it. You can do like I will be doing when the first one arrives. I'll download the Au Tu Tu Benchmark app and run that program. It will run tests on the CPU and such and report it's findings. If it's not a Samsung it will tell you whose it is. Plus not only do I offer a 30-day NO HASSLE return policy Amazon also will protect you against clones. So you can purchase with confidence or you can e go the Bay (if you catch my drift) and look for seller: hlkdestiny8804 where my ad is much clearer and the price is the same (but free shipping). I will get it first and if it's not genuine Ill be sending it back and fully refunding your purchase. I've had clones before and nothing but headaches and won't have anything to do with them as I'd rather be a happy seller than stressed with buyers complaining about those cheap phones. If you read my ad these are special ordered phones. I just can't keep up with the huge volume of sales and it's a unique model so I had to go special order only which takes 2-3 weeks from overseas 2 me 2 you. I will be placing a order tomorrow Saturday 1/25/14 around 3pm so if you make your purchase by then I'll add your purchase to this weeks order. My next order will be next Friday 1/31/14 after 3pm for those that purchase by that time, and so on. Thank you for your interests and it WILL be a genuine Samsung or you get a full refund. Rick

Just look for the product that says "verizon only." There is a difference in the camera or the on/volume buttons in the back of the phone so you wouldnt want to get the wrong one.

Call Samsung, they were very helpful. Unfortunately because the device was not "original" as stated in the description, I ended up returning mine. (Serial number on bottom of unit didn't match any numbers in the Samsung database, I wrote about this in my review). Sorry.

The one that I received did not have the Samsung brand on it, although it looks very similar, so it might be manufactured by the same factory.

The one I got was unlocked AT&T; version, but I'm able to use it with T mobile service.

The one I bought was from 'Tablet Distributors' and fulfilled by Amazon. It was a new phone with the AT&T box, stickers in place and all of it's booklets, etc. May have been over-stock? It was unlocked, and we use RedPocket service with it. It's been a good phone so far and is a great substitute for an iPhone.

This is the original model per say. However, I would not recommend a purchase of this Phone. It looks nice over the internet but when you receive it you will be disappointed.

The phone I've received was unlocked, SM-G900F version, but duo SIM card, which isn't an issue at all.
