Upgrade using Airave line? - EVO 4G General

Iv been told that i could use my airave line for a phone upgrade then switch the line back to my airave is this true? Im thinking of getting the 3d using the airave line and saving my upgrade for this winter but dont want to do it if im gonna have trouble getting my airave back cause its completly needed at my house. So anyone that has done this please tell me what you did and if there was any problems doing it.

I have an Airave and I was going to use the upgrade to get an EVO 4G.
I went to Best Buy and they had an issue with it. They had to call Sprint to see why they couldn't perform the upgrade swap. They told the person at Best Buy that once you use the upgrade eligibility from your Airave it will assign a plan with minutes to it and then you will not be able to switch the number back to the Airave.
Depending on our last upgrade you may be able to contact Sprint and persuade them somehow to change the upgrade eligibility so you can upgrade your device.
I was able to get my upgrade eligibility changed to a date 4 months early and now am an owner of the EVO4G. But now it just figured that 2 months after I got it they drop the EVO's price to $149 and sell the EVO 3D for $199.
OH Well, the EVO is still the best phone I have ever owned.

thanks for the reply looks like il just wait.

nope...
No you can't, I tried about a month ago to upgrade my airave line to get a new phone. I think you upgrade it for air cards though.

How do I get this deal on the Evo?

Like most everyone else here, I want this phone. Currently using a Helio Fin and can't stand it.
On the positive, Sprint is ending all Helio contracts, and is offering a sweet deal.
1. $50 towards any device (on top of all other discounts)
2. No credit check or deposit (because I had monthy service 1+ years)
3. Helio service and this deal ends on May 25.
My question is: Assuming the Evo is released on June 6, how do I get the Evo with this deal?
Notes:
1. I already called once, and I can't use this deal to pre-order the Evo because "the phone hasn't been released yet."
2. The letter with the deal has a phone number on it. It's Sprint sales.
A few ideas I had, with questions:
1. Get a CDMA(sprint) blackberry from eBay (to use until the Evo is released) and pre-order the phone from BB/RS/etc.
Will those stores honor this deal?
Can their systems do that?
2. Call the number and get the deal, then return the phone within the 30 day limit because of their 30 day "satisfaction guarantee".
Will I get the "new customer" price for the Evo after I return whatever phone I pick first?
Will Sprint even allow this?
3. Use a prepaid phone until the Evo comes out.
Thanks for any insight anyone may have about how to get this deal and still get the Evo.

Not positive this still works but if you buy a phone, and in 30 days decide you don't like it you can swap it out with a diff phone and pay the difference, again not sure if this still works
dare i say stop using a cell phone for 2 weeks?? i know crazy...
i actually just sold my nexus and had to wait 3 days to get this lg phone thing from ebay to hold me over til EVO time.
being 'off the grid' for three days was glorious!!

I didn't have a phone for 6 months, it sucks but you deal with it.
I currently have an iPhone and I fully intend on selling it to get the Evo.. iPhone's are not all their talked up to be..
Side note.. Been awhile since I've been on these forums..
Edit: And no, Radioshack will not honor these deals.. Radio Shack is a 3rd party dealer for Sprint.. Only a Sprint Corporate store would be able to(if they even can)honor that deal.. I work at The Shack.. And I can't wait to preorder this phone!

can i use airave upgrade for evo???

ok i have 3 lines i just renewed on march but just received an airrave a month ago becvause of my bad signal at home.i was thinking of adding another line just to get the evo so went ahead and preordered today at bestbuy am number 25 on the list..the poinjt is that the rep told me i can use the airave but am not paying for airave service sprint wave the charge,so if i upgrade if i can with airave number would i loose the waived charge and can i just easily change esns like evo back to my number ?????????????please help
dont want to add another line...
im going to guess no but call and ask them
I'm in this exact situaiton and did call Sprint about it. They said that yes upgrade could be used but that no mail in rebate would be honored.
I agree with them in theory but my bigger worry would be that since the EVO would be activated on the airave's line it ouwld compltely screw up the biling and trying to fix it would be a nightmare if not impossible since at that point Sprint would figure out what you were rying to pull.
This is a lesson to Sprint that these "complmentary" airave lines should be somehow notated to NEVER have an upgrade. That would solve any potential loophole.
well i havent called sprint but checked online it say upgrade eligible 5\01\10 but when i try to upgrade online it says that i need to set this line to 39.99 a month for me to get the $150 discount..ita quite confusing though i wish somebody from sprint would look at this and give us an answer ..bfre we commit suicide and end up screwing ip our accounts,,,,,

I just called SPrint and the lady said that could it technically be done... yes but would most likely take someone who knows what their doing.
the reason we all have an upgrade on the AIRAVE lline for 5/1/2010 is because a) we technically never bought the equipment so just like if a friend gave you a phone and you activated it you never used the initial upgrade credit and b) their new system requires all devices ot have a phone number attached to them.
my biggest concern in working the system is that the EVO gets activated on the AIRAVE line even if just for a few minutes and that would basically render the whole free AIRAVE deal null and voice. Unfortunately because of the poor signal in my new place and my phone being for business I don't know if I want to risk it.
Maybe if it gets blogged about and we complain enough Sprint will realize its just easier to realize there's a loophole in their systems and give those of us who complain about it enough the break

Early upgrade for the EVO

I wasn't due for an upgrade for another month but the local Best Buy had some white and black ones in stock, so I called Sprint and they moved my date up a month so I could go ahead and upgrade. This was 21 months in on one line and 11 on the primary line for the upgrades. Just thought if you are due for an upgrade then it might be worth your time to call Sprint and see if they will move your upgrade date so you can get the EVO if you can find it.
You just got lucky that you had a cool rep to do do that for you. I tried and they wouldn't go for it when they first came out. I had to pay an early termination fee for my Touch Pro in order to get my EVO.
When in doubt Sprint will always let you upgrade at least one month early. One thing you can do is call, talk to a manager and tell them how badly your current handset blows and you wanna upgrade. Normally you'll get some grief at first but if you threaten to cancel service and tell them you'll get an iPhone than they submit to your wants.

I was behind for an upgrade when I got mine. I just told sprint my problems with the pre and was really liking the evo, and would be willing to sign another 2 years I'd they could renew my upgrade date. I got my pre like 14 months ago. It helps to tell them that you're trying to decide on the evo and a phone on another network, for me it was the droid.

If you are with Sprint enough time, you can upgrade every 11 months. not even 12.
And I don't think any other company does that.

I've been with Sprint since before it all became digital and the days of the brick phones so if that's not long enough, I don't know what is.
I wasn't due for an upgrade until Sept 1, went to best buy on June 20th and they said I was eligible.......
If you pay over like 120 or 130 a month for Sprint service than you are a premier member. One of the perks of this is upgrades every year vice 2 years. You're also supposed to get priority in store service and you get accessories for like 25% off. There's more, just go check it out on Sprint's site.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
you're lucky. i was 3 weeks early to renew my contract as a premier member, but they would not renew it since i was getting an evo. they wouldn't even sell it to me straight up. i even got into an argument with the manager because i was getting different stories about me upgrading and/or purchasing the phone for full price. they only wanted new lines for the evo.
I had a week to go for my upgrade, but Sprint would not budge. I contacted the retentions department and the rep said the only way they would move my upgrade date up is if I had the BB representative call customer service and tell them that my phone was broke and that I was looking into the evo. Essentially they could replace my current phone and I was only going to keep it for a week and get the evo or they could save some money and move my upgrade date up. The customer service rep didn't resist the move.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. I had to go through BB and open a new line on my account as a family plan. This is where Sprint falls short. Evidently in my area they don't practice what they preach. My Touch Pro broke a week before the launch of the EVO and I was even charged an early termination fee on a broken phone. This alone almost swayed me to go with Verizon but decided to give Sprint one more chance.
I was planning on adding a new line anyway when i was gonna get the evo. So when i went in telling the rep at the store i wanted just a case he asked why i wasnt getting the phone through them, to which i replied. i pre-ordered from best buy . 2 of them (one for me and one for my buddy). The rep asked how much i had put down i told him 50 bucks. he told me he would match that if i bought through them. I kinda hesitated, and told them i had pre ordered 2, to which he answered, we'll match that also. I went ahead and got them from the sprint store. thats not the best part, they gave me all sorts of discount (23% off my phone bill) and when i went to look at my phone bill the new line is already ELIGIBLE for an UPGRADE. and the old line i had (the Hero)is eligible in october, and they told me that i couldnt change main number or id lose the upgrade on the hero, but my evo is now my main line.. LOL i guess i win LOL. when the new phones come i dont have to wait or Early Terminate. HAHAHA

How does remorse work in this case?

So I got a mt4g my remorse ends the 19th...I got the mt4g thru t-mobile loyalty for 150 if I wanted the nexus s would they give me the same deal?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Nope. I'm in the same boat as you. talked to retentions about that issue myself. The prob is that they put a change in the system for the transaction of the phone they are giving you to upgrade so you don't pay full price for the phone.
Since nexus is only available through best buy (third party) they can't help you. That's what retentions told me anyway. I like the mt4g but miss the extra screen real estate, and all of the ones they sent me have the washed out screen.

Were you off contract when you purchased this upgrade? If so once you return your phone your account should reflect that your contract period is expired, if that is the case you should then be able to go into best buy resign for two years and get the phone for $200. I talked to best buy about this yesterday.
what they did was wave my old contract and started it new when i phone ordered the mt4g 2 weeks ago
jayrod yeah im missing the screen space too!

If thats the case then when you return the mt4g your contract should revert to the old contract. If you were past your two years you should qualify for the $200 price.
Do you have to get a data plan with the Nexus S if you purchase it with a contract?
And if so, can that data plan ever be canceled later on by calling Tmobile? For example, if I wanted to get the Nexus S as a gift, but wanted to save some money. I have a line on my family plan eligible for upgrade, say I upgrade it with that line, am then forced to get a data plan, but I give the Nexus S as a gift to someone who will use their own data plan... can I cancel the data plan that I had to purchase on my line which I upgraded with?
Just return the phone to T-mobile. They'll reinstate your upgrade, cancel your contract, put you on your old terms. Then simply go to best buy and reup through them.
It doesn't work like that, I called tmobile today, they told me to make sure with best buy because 3rd party suppliers can't see phone has been returned, I work @ bb and after shift talked to the bb mobile manager n he said the same that tmobile just puts a note on you # saying avalable for upgrade n they can't see it because tmobile doesn't update the computer...thus it can't be done so a lot of people who took advantage from remorse might not get this

Why are you telling t-mobile anything about best buy?
All you have to do is tell tmobile your dissatisfied with the phone upgrade you used. Tell then you're going to wait until a better phone comes out a few months from now, and you want to go back to your old rate.
(that's what the remorse period is for).
Then simple stroll into best buy and use the upgrade your entitled to.
That's the point, returning the phone won't AUTOMATICALLY cancel your new contract and revert back, so BB wont see the upgrade available!
Last year I upgraded to mytouch3g, returned it 20 days later then a week later closed my account. This was done at a tmobile corporate store. Tmobile charged me etf. When I called to dispute, they had to call the tmobile store and they had to look up my account at the store and confirm that I returned the phone.
If they had this much prob at a corp store, you're going to have probs returning and next day going to BB to try and upgrade to Nexus S, cuz systems aren't connected and etc.

i told them and asked best buy to make sure i send the phone back or not, best buy said they can't do that, the upgrade will not show up for bestbuy it will only show up for tmobile...i dont want to pay 200 to cancel and 200 for the phone either
My problem is that I got the mt4g when I wasn't eligible, I complained about my vibrant never getting accurate gps, even after exchanges, and they gave me the mt4g for a little lower than upgrade pricing. Ifi go back and return the phone I go back to my non upgrade status anyway. Retentions just gave me a sweetheart deal for the new phone.
I guess with my 100 buck best buy card, and selling my mt4g and vibrant I could get the nexus for a couple hundred. Just not sure I should go that route. The mt4g has some awesome hardware, but having the washed out screen that's too small and a tiny rom selection is driving me crazy. If my vibrant didn't have gps issues I would just keep it and never gone this route anyway.

thats my same issue, i complained about freezing hd2 and they gave me the mt4g for 149.99
when i asked her she said i would eligible for upgrade still if i decided to wait
Sell the mytouch and pay the difference when you buy it outright. Should come out the same.

ps...make sure you are counting your 14 or (30 days in california) correctly. For example, the 19th of this month to the 19 of next month may be over 30 days! Got to count the actual days!

YES, its as easy as returning your phone and waiting for your cantract to revert. I suppose it might take a bit longer for best buy to update your contract but using that theory I could go get an MT4G 4g through t-mobile for $200 and then go get a Nexus S at best buy for $200 because that data isn't live based on what your are saying. Hell I might as well hit up 7 best buy stores in an hour and buy all the nexus s's in the area and bootleg them because best buy has no idea about my contract status.
Do then how do we go about returning a phone and getting the nexus s? I was out a contract but then got the mt4g with upgrade. I'm thinking about getting the nexus s. My remorse is up on the 26th. So would I have to return it now in order for bb to see my available upgrade? Does anyone know how long it takes for 3rd party store computers to update a contract status?

This all changed a week ago.

Yes, I did read it and I know it says $69.99. I am saying that the e-mail is wrong and the program changed on April 1.
You can believe that e-mail all you want but it isn't correct.
I think thats his point. Yes the program has changed, but he still got this email.
He wouldn't have made this post otherwise.
I wonder if he could use this to his advantage, probably bit but it would be cool

Can you actually use the airave upgrade though?
They'll just say someone had an incorrect file added to the reply they sent etc. I think you might be able to sweet talk your way into it for this year at least. 2 friends from work went to the local 3rd Party Sprint dealer they like and he was going to reset the upgrade dates for them. I don't know what he does or how he did it, but he did for her cousin/relative earlier that week. I think she said he had a heat ticket created for them both.

You're not supposed to be able to, but people ahve done it. A few peeps on Sprintusers changed that to their primary line once it had a year showing on their account and upgraded phones. Then immediately switched the AirRave back to that line when they got home. I don't know of they have closed this loophole or not, it's not supposed to work that way.

Wirefly shows it as eligible for an upgrade haha.. sort of tempting.
Well it's funny because as soon as they added the Airave line to my account it was eligible.
Hmm, if I can use the $150 upgrade discount on the airave, I'm going too! They won't do crap for me about their 3G speeds. They just say: Okay ...to everything I saw. Mindless robots, I think.
Hmm, Amazon Wireless is saying that the airave line is good for a discount...
Like I said it works and people have done it. But it's not normal protocol, I dunno if they would do anything about it though?
I've successfully used the Airave to grab an Epic last year for my wife. Looked on the web page when it was done and saw that I didn't have an upgrade available for the Airave so I knew it worked.
The funny thing was, in the process of reverting the #s back, Sprint accidentally canceled my Airave rather than switch it. When they put the Airave back onto my account, they reset the upgrade status so it said get $150 off the new phone again.
I'm premier gold now anyways so no problems getting the yearly upgrade but now I have three with me, my wife, and the Airave.
best bet is to keep your evo nice and shiny, sell it on ebay and pay retail for your new phone, im assuming evo 3D. worst case it costs your $100 or so but you dont have to sign a new contract.

How did you go about using the upgrade on your airave line?
My mom recently washed hers and the best option is to just pay retail for one, but if I can use the airave $150, I'll do that for her; our 3 lines still have $150 discounts.
So, if I use the airave line/$150, the contract reups and starts at 2 years again, right? Then...when we use the $150 discounts on the 3 evo lines when the evo 3D comes out, the contract will reup and start at 2 years again, right?

I just walked into Best Buy and told them I wanted to use my Airave number. The reason I did this was when I bought the Evo, I heard the workers saying that yes it was possible to some other customers and that they've done it.
Now, I then headed to a third party Sprint store to had them switch #s back on the same day. The crux of the situation was that you had to wait at least 24 hours to switch back. Well, since my wife had work calls, I tried and do it that same day and it kinda sorta worked out. That was when they cancelled my Airave instead of switching it Weird thing was my Airave still worked for the next few weeks. It was when it stopped working and I saw a $150 extra charge that I called and asked why I had this charge and why the Airave didn't work. They said cause I called and cancelled it and I'm like no, I don't want to cancel I want to switch.
Yes, I think it renews the 2 year agreement of the Airave cause when I did it and went to the website, it didn't have the upgrade a phone for $150.. now it does cause of Sprint's little snafu but I don't need to use it for a while since I have 2 other upgrades
Yes all contracts renew to 2 years if you opt for the full discount.
