$149 + $36 Activation as good as it gets?

We are going to get at least one EVO Shift 4G today and I'm looking for the best price (at a local store, not online). Is $149 + $36 activation pretty standard or are there better deals to be had?
We're in San Antonio, TX if it helps. Thanks!

I believe in store that's about it. The $149 is pretty well set from what I can tell. What sucks is the activation fee, if you order online you don't get it, but if you buy from a store you do. Technically I can't speak of BB and others, all I know is that at the Sprint Store, this is the going rate. I bought my wife's online and only had to pay the 149 (after rebate) then bought mine online and had to pay full price since I was less than a year into my plan, no activation fee for either. If you buy online today you'll more than likely get it at your house on Tuesday, they're pretty quick, but if you want it now then that won't work of course.

Bought mine and my wifes online to get free activation as well and the phones were shipped using overnight shipping free. I ordered them at 11:00pm when they showed up on Sprint's site on a Saturday night which means they shipped Monday and I got them by Tuesday.
Although I have gotten activation waved at a Radio Shack before just by asking.

as far as activation goes, just call Sprint and tell them you think the activation fee is ridiculous and you aren't happy about adding another almost $40 to your cost of the phone.
Mine was credited for my last 3 phones.

Amazon has it for $89.00 if you can get Best Buy to price match. YMMV.

Both of those are for new service lines only, I think it was implied that the OP was upgrading.
I know you said YMMV for the price match, but I've never found a Best buy that would price match online prices, but can't hurt to try.

Best Buy in Indianapolis price matched our Heros at the end of 2009. Can't hurt to try. I've heard Radio Shack might as well.

I actually got my shift from Best Buy for 124.99 + $36. I started off printing off an advertised price from wal-mart that had it for $99.99. Took it into Best Buy and asked if they would match, they called the local wal-mart and they were told they didn't carry them in store. So they would not price match them. I told her, if she would sell it to me for 124.99 I would buy it from them, otherwise I was going to radio shack (Which just happens to be next door to my Best Buy) and ask them to honor the price or give me a discount. She went and asked a manager and he approved it.
I use to have a friend who was a car salesman, he always told me, "If there is one in stock there too much supply and to ask for a discounted amount". He would get discounts everywhere, even his apartment rent he negotiated a lower price.
Remember it doesn't cost you a penny to ask for a discount. Don't be rude or mean or seem uptight, lay out the facts. If you do A I will do B, if I'm not asking for a crazy discount 9 times out of 10 I will get it. Now if I could only talk Sprint to lower my bill....

Yes, call and politely ask for the activation fee to be waived or credited. I've only been told NO once, and called back right away and suddenly it was 'YES!'.

Now that's not a very constructive or generous addition to our discussion. I was simply making everyone aware that Sprint does credit for the activation fee.
No crying involved, simply stating that I don't appreciate this charge and each time ask what the cost is supposed to cover, and not one person can give me a decent answer. They just say they will credit the activation fee.
Please only post if you have something that will add to the conversation. Thanks!

Over the phone today, I got it for $229 (before $100 rebate) plus tax. Everything else was waived.
I did have the complaint of a blown lcd to help me out as well, though.

Is Sprint still charging $249.99 and giving you a $100 rebate? Just curious. Got mine at best buy since I didnt' have to go through the rebate hassle.

I got my Shift last night. BB wouldn't price match the $89 from Amazon, but they did match the $119 from Target AND threw in free activation.

Awesome, good for you!!! $119 is better than full price, not as good as $89, but a little is better than none.

Damn us on SERO Premium. We have to go through the Sprint store.

You can get the activation waved if you call them and say they said they would wave it. I was told being an AOL member that they would wave it when I called customer service. I called and they said there was no such deal but did it for me anyway.

I told Sprint my place of employment, and got 20% off my monthly bill + free activation. Didn't even check my pay stub or identity.
You could check to see if your place of employment has a deal on something like that.

RadioShack.com
RadioShack.com has the Shift for $119.99 upgrade price.
That's the cheapest I've seen. Hope someone benefits!

Best Price For Atrix

So I have a Captivate now, and I was wondering where I can get the best price?
I'd be using my girlfriends upgrade and she would get my Captivate, so I'd be upgrading and not a new purchase.
Should I just try to talk Amazon/AT&T into giving me a larger discount or price matching with something such as Costco's 119.00 dollar deal?

I got my atrix from costco yesterday for 119. I love it. So fast and flash plays SUPeR smooth and crystal clear. Att wontacknowledge the costco price unless you get real lucky and are getting a whole new line as opposed to upgrAding (since it gives more commision).
I went to a bunch of atts first and gave up since 149 was the lowest I was able to get them to lower it. At the moment, costco will have the best price and I doubtany store would match them.

The CostCo price looks great, but don't you need a membership at CostCo to buy the phone from it?

I got mine last week at the At&T website for $100+tax, next day delivery. I posted the link in some other thread...

If you arent eligible for upgrade att is the best price 500
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App

I was in an AT&T store trying to get a better price on a dock and the salesman told me that with this being a high profile release and only the first week management has been given instruction not to give away discounts so easily. They have an approved reseller list that they can match price from, otherwise good luck. I know Amazon had the phone for $129 if you were a new contract, otherwise $149 for an upgrade. Unless Costco is on their list and you have proof of the price and the contract terms being an upgrade, I'm doubting your luck with AT&T or Amazon to get lower than $149.

you would need a costco membership. i think its like 40 bucks.....so if you dont already have one, i suggest going to Target. i got mine in the mobile kiosk in target for 149.99
also i believe radioshack sells them at that price......i think the dude at tartget old me they were part of radioshack but maybe im imagining things

Costco isn't actually the company that sells the phone, it is membership wireless in conjunction with costco. I ordered 2 today through them and do not have a costco membership. Order processed successfully. $127.91 after taxes, etc.

So you ordered them via phone or website?

Look in the local classifieds.
I was able to get an unopened one for $420.
Retail store employee won it in a sales competition and didn't want to part with his iPhone.

For those who are already with AT&T I've had quite a bit of luck calling in to them. Talk to the Customer Relations Dept. (this is the dept. for cancellations). Told'em I was going to leave if they couldn't do better on the price of the phone. They ended up selling it to me for $125, free shipping, free activation, and $180 credit on my cell bill.

When was your contract up?

I talked them down to $299 online, and not eligible for new contract upgrade until 2/12.
I then had another opportunity arise with adding a line to my account. it is strictly a dummy line for business calls, and they switched me to a family plan with combined minutes, etc. They allowed me to use new line phone upgrade on MY number, even though it was only a dummy line being added. I brought in a print-out from amazon for $149, she said they only price match best buy, but gave me $25 off. so basically cheated the system and they were ok with it and walked away with the phone for $175

It was set to end in October of 2011. Typically through AT&T your eligible for an upgrade after 1 year. I have gone the rounds multiple times on multiple phones and have found that calling in to them always produces the best results.

Best Buy and Pricematching

I had to upgrade to my Evo before the April 1 deadline because of the Premier Program changes and I was able to jump in the best buy buyback program for free. And since I don't think I am the only one around here I was wondering.
When I look at what the retail price for phones on bb.com compared to sprint's retail prices, bestbuy is almost $100-200 more. (e.g. sprint Evo $450/ BB Evo $600) Has anyone tried to get them to pricematch sprint when buying a phone at retail price? If you go to bestbuy's pricematch policy the first FAQ is
"What is considered a local retail competitor? "
and the answer is ....
"A retail store located in the same market area as your local Best Buy store."
The reason I ask is this. On the same web page there is a link for a New York Price Match Class Action lawsuit about a similar situation where an individual bought a camera from Best Buy then found the same camera at a "local" camera retail shop for less, and BB wouldn't price match it. And this individual won. (Reference the Decision and Order Document. The conclusion is on the bottom of page 31)
Note : There is more to the story, but this is what started the wheel turning in the lawsuit. I recommend reading that specific document thoroughly so you can see how scandalous retail can be.
I can understand not matching contract prices, although in the past they have for me. But in this case we are talking "retail" price. I have up til August to get 50% for my Evo ($300) and I was thinking for future sake how i would attack the upgrade. I could either do an ETF (about $180) and lose my mobile #, but pay contract price ,or I could just cash in the Evo for the program and buy phone at retail.
Has anyone had any experience with this situation with BB?

I'm not sure why you'd want to sell your phone to best buy when you can get more for it on here, craigslist, or ebay. There is a reason they want to buy it back from you at that price.

I had to purchase my Evo at full retail price and i looked into this too. I was inclined to purchase it at Best Buy because they actually had it in stock where as the sprint stores near me put me on a waiting list (this was during the 2 week wait list stuff)
I hoped to price match because i knew people there from working there 3 years beforehand
They wouldn't price match for me either
I ended up getting my Evo at Radioshack after walking in randomly to see if they had them in stock. It was like 25 bucks more, but after being on a wait list for over a month i decided 25 bucks more than Sprints retail price was worth it

A little off topic, but on the price match subject at Best Buy. I just bought a new high end refrigerator from best buy, and before she rang it up she went online and checked all the major appliance sellers for the product and Lowes had it for $159 cheaper so they matched that price with out even asking. Of course, I had already shopped around and new of the lower price and was planning on making them price match. I prefer shopping at best buy for big purchases to maximize my reward points.

$300 for an EVO which is nearly 2 generations old hardware is a VERY good amount to receive for it.
They only fetch $200-250 average on craigslist, and that's begging the buyer to pay more.

I have purchased a phone from best buy at retail price and they matched the price to sprint for me. I don't know why they would not. That seems kind of stupid.

A lot of times it depends on the sales person. Same thing when you walk into a Sprint store for an upgrade, exchanges, or just service.

Evo's go for about $200-$250 here in the Phoenix area, you will occasionally see the $300, but I doubt that is where the negotiating settles at.

Obviously you didn't read the Class Action I referenced. In the reading the customer was told he could not price match because the identical camera was sold at a local retailer that specifically sold photography equipment, not an electronics chain store like Ultimate Electronics or Circuit City for example. Also they were practicing within the Best Buy chain that they would not price match it it was not cost effective, like a percentage of profit over cost.
Now I know from being a part time manager in the past at an Autozone store that we were not allowed to price match oil/antifreeze products against Wal-Mart, Target, etc., specifically for the reason they were big box stores. But we "could" pricematch other auto part retailers (Checkers, Napa, etc.) This is why I asked the question, because I was wondering if Best Buy has ever said that when buying a phone retail. Because I could see something said along the lines of, "Well they have lower retail because they receive your monthly payment."
In a "for profit" business, I don't think it would be stupid on their end not to price match as they give back considerably higher buy back on phones over Sprint. Also Best Buy may not buy as many phones as Sprint so their bottom line could be slightly higher.

The best buy buy back program is a scam. I'm glad you got it for free; its like saying hey you pay me $250 upfront to purchase this $1000 laptop, and when you trade it back you only get 500. This is stupid and Best buy wins. I used to shop at best buy all the time until realizing that their markup on everything is like 30% higher than normal retail value. I purchased my heroc on launch day at best buy and paid 100 bucks for it with upgrade. I believe at the time sprint had it for 199 with upgrade. I think their full retail price is much higher on phones because they just cancel out the rebates. I purchased my evo at radio shack for 99.88 but their full retail price was also much higher than sprint's as well. Hmmm
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

Yeah, there is no way I would have purchased it.
However, the situation was at the time was that I had an upgrade that I was going to lose in April whether I used it or not. So now with the EVO3D and the Nexus S coming out, I would like to take advantage of it if necessary.

Atrix no contract cost

I've seen two different no commitment costs at two different ATT stores. One was $499 and the other $549. Did they raise the no commitment cost recently. I'm thinking one store forgot to change the label. Has anyone seen it any cheaper besides eBay?

@ one point it was $99.99 at bestbuy with a 2-yr contract. cheapest i know of right now is radio shack for $149.99 with a 2-yr contract.
Off contract the lowest i've seen is bestbuy for 499.99. everywhere else..$549.99

just checked best buy, looks to be 599 now.

I got mine from AT&T for $500
BestBuy had it for $600 (on launch day) when I went to go get it.

Was wondering if u were me should i upgrade to a atrix or stick with the arc?

Some stores are offering case, BT headset, and car charger with Atrix for a slightly higher price. Could be why the difference if one store was and not the other.

I saw yesterday one for 470$ on e-bay, brand new and unused, but without original box package. Cheapest i saw with package was 520$ i think. My father want Atrix, so i am thinking either to give him my Atrix and to get SGS2/HTS Sensation for myself, or to tell him to get another Atrix, hard to decide...

I bought it for 599$ on amazon 2 weeks ago.

just went into an att store and they refused to sell me a atrix at the no commitment cost. ATT is ridiculous. They said they rarely ever sell items at the no contract price and they are no longer allowed. I could have stayed and spoken to a manager and probably gotten the phone but it was not worth the hassel.

At one point online (around release) , AT&T had the phone for no contract price of $268.

Check authorized agent stores for the no commitment prise. Saw a store that had it for $459 no commitment. As far as 2yr contract the cheapest I have seen in person is Walmart for $118.

Was probably an AT&T Auth. Retailer. They don't make any money when you buy it full retail and would rather keep it around for a sale they can make money on.

I'm gonna try to get mine from the local Walmart. If you live in CA, then Walmart is the place to get it from. I just found out that Walmart only charges tax on the sales price of the item. By CA tax laws, we are supposed to pay tax on the full retail price. Just scooped up an iPhone 5 for my wife's Bday today for $205 out the door.
From the Sprint Store, BestBuy etc it would have cost $254. They charge the $199.99 and then sales tax on the $649.99 value of the device. So thats a big savings in my book, as I saved just under $50 this way.

I'm hoping it shows up on Amazon soon. I plan to buy it outright since I'm halfway into contract and don't know how this Softbank deal is going to play out. I'll keep my options open for any future shenanigans....

CA sucks with all those taxes. So glad l live on the border of NH. Live free or die, no sales or state taxes!!!

If you want to buy phones tax free and don't mind waiting a day or so for shipping, this is the best place.

I live in Brentwood...Far East Bay. lol
But all Walmarts around do this. I found out a few months ago, when my Mom wanted to get my Pops an upgrade from his iPhone 3Gs. She asked if she had to get it from AT&T and I told her that they can do it at any authorized AT&T reseller. So they were in the local Walmart and my Pops upgraded to an iPhone 4.
My Mom called me later, since she was confused about the price she was charged. She said she was only charged Tax on the SALE price of the phone, not full RETAIL tax. So I googled it and found lots of others said the same thing. So I was pretty stoked to find this out, since that more than wipes out the $36 Activation Charge Fee. You still come out ahead this way, as I would have paid $253, plus $36 activation on my bill. I ended up paying $205, plus $36 activation fee.
I called 5 Walmarts in our county and no one had any iPhone 5's. So I called Tracy Walmart, which is only 30mins from me. He had one iPhone 5 in stock and they charge $189.99 for it, so off we went. The guy was really cool and into Android and we started chatting about the Note 2 during the activation process. He said he was waiting on it (AT&T) and was juiced. He said to give him a call and check back next week, to see if he has em in stock.
PS - They had a Note 1 on display with the other models. So I gotta assume they will also get the Note 2.

I don't like buying at non-Sprint stores because they tend to screw things up. Happened when I got my EVO 4G from radioshack. Never happened to me at Best Buy cause I worked there and made sure it was done right. That's just me though.

I have that rewards program too. But BB charges full retail tax and they
also inflate their retail prices, so taxes are even higher for CA.

As of today (11/2/2012) Wirefly and Marketplus still don't carry the Note 2... I'm also looking to avoid the CA sales tax. I was quoted $87 just in tax from Sprint telesales.
Any Californian have any success getting around the tax?

From what I hear, 3rd party Sprint retailers should have it around the 9th-11th. That's what I'm waiting for, that and the fact I get paid on the 10th. lol
