If you like the idea of a Galaxy Note without breaking the bank or paying contracts but also having minimal cellular service, Groupon Goods has a limited time offer on Freedompop 4G LTE smartphones. Use the Options below the big green BUY button on the right side of the page to locate the Galaxy Note II LTE Gray. It is offered in certified pre-owned condition for $170 with free shipping and free returns. Freedom Pop offers a 90 day warranty (not Samsung). This is model SAM-L900SLRB.

You can use it as a Wifi-only device, or activate it with FreedomPop with either the free tier plan or the for-pay plans. It is up to you. If you’ve never used Freedom Pop before, do note that upon activation they sign you up for free trials of various services and if you don’t want them, you have to cancel them manually or contact their customer service and ask them to cancel/refund if it sneaks through. Regardless, no contract! You own the phone right away.

TIP: when buying FreedomPop devices that you plan to use with cellular service, make sure they are “4G LTE”. FP runs on Sprint, and their WiMax, which sometimes is called “4G” or “4G WIMAX” but not “4G LTE” will be toast by the end of the year.
