Hi,
I want to buy the Samsung galaxy 4G. I pretty much fell in love with it <3. Anyway. I do not live in the US, I live on a Caribbean island and the phone is not available here. I want to buy this phone from the US with subscription, meaning I will pay ~$150 instead of $450 (unlocked). On arrival here I will unlock the phone with the IMEI code. I will ship the phone to a company (US located) who will send it over here (to me). And I will not pay T-mobile :P.

I want to know, what do you guys think of this? Is it safe? I will fill in both the billing and shipping address with that company's address, and my (real) name. This data will go to T-Mobile for the subscription etc. I will buy the phone from WireFly. I will pay by Visa/Debit Card.

Let me know, thanks :)

You aren't going to be getting a subsidized phone without being approved for a contract which requires you to be a US citizen (on US phones). They check your credit prior and then decide based on that. You'll need an SSN.
 
So if I buy online, they will notice that I have a non-US credit card, so they will decline my "contract"?

And what if I buy it in-store, I heard there's no paperwork in Bestbuy?

:S
