Thanks.

Not sure I would say it's a trade up. I played with one a couple of days ago and wasn't very impressed. You should be able to get $100-$150. Sprint sells refurbished Epics for $120.

No contract. Only $60 with employee discount. Same for the EVO, and the Nexus S. Might not be a corporate thing though. All my local Sprint stores are franchise.

So where can I find the epics for 120 refurbished...I wouldn't mind having a spare..or a nexus s

In order to take advantage of this, you must go to a Sprint store that is part of the Shentel(Shenandoah Communications) franchise. They are mostly in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Other franchise stores may have the same or similar offer, but I don't know. Corporate stores do not have this offer as far as I know. I also neglected to mention that you must exchange your current Sprint phone (functioning or non-functioning) to get the refurb at discount. They do this primarily for customers that don't have TEP, but they will do it for anyone.

So in other worlds, one have to go through a bunch of **** just to get the $120 price.

I called yesterday my local Sprint store and asked about refurbished phones and their answer was "refur- huh?". I heard her ask someone else and the dude said "we dont have refurbs, only pre-owned" and I was like "that works too". Apparently, when people return their phones withing the 30 day window, they cant sell the phones as new so they cut the price and sell them pre-owned, its just that it depends on people returning, so call the store and ask about them.

I suppose if you don't live close to one of these stores, then yes. Not much of a hassle if one of their stores is local to you.

Anyone else gettin crazy offers for there phone?

Ok i havent even had the phone a whole day and have already been asked to sell. I had one guy in books a million offer 700 but what tripped me out was a dude and dave and busters saw me on it and knew what phone it was right away.....asked if it was for sprint then pulled out some cash out his pocket and was like ill give you 800 for that phone right now we can walk down to sprint and get it activated lol.

For 800$ you could make a profit...even if you bought another one right out, off contract. But I've had some offers...a sprint rep offered my 600$ for it, cuz I walked in to get my number changed, and like that guy, they all KNEW, and they hadn't even seen one.

You paid 600$ for the device. The how in the hell is it not worth it to sell at 800? When you wanted to return it anyway.. Sounds like you are just holding onto it for your amusement from the offers

Friday while I was looking for a case I had a Bestbuy employee snatch it out my hands and go crazy for it. Also had a guy at a cell hone store go crazy for it too. Gotta love the fact that only select people have this phone.

Sell my Nexus S?

I really want a Galaxy Nexus for AT&T but I'm currently in a hard financial state. If I was to sell my device which is in good condition aside from a small scuff on the corner, how much should I sell it for?
I'm still not sure if I sell right away because I might wait for the new nexus so the price drops. I'm just looking for a good reference on price so I can ponder it over. Thanks in advance to anyone who offers help.

When I was looking for a sprint one (which i since decided to cancel my contract shortly and go prepaid but thats another story lol) I was able to find a few for ~400 or so. I've seen a couple online retailers selling for ~450.

I haven't even seen any used ones though. Which kind of irritates me as that would probably be the only way I could get one. Seeing as I prefer to buy locally and not have to be without a phone for any major period of time.

Yes and no. Sprint sells them for $550 new. So online retails selling @ 450 are actually selling lower then sprint. Believe me I think its stupid too. This is one of the many reasons I'm ditching sprint in September/October and going gsm/prepaid

350 on the play store new when I'm only selling my phone for 130-150. Lol. I don't have that kind of cash to front at the moment.

Sprint makes my head hurt

Went in to get my S3. After 45 minutes that can't figure out how to put it on my SERO account. They told me to comback tomorrow when they can call for help. wasted time and gas to the only corporate store in san diego, and the chick that wanted to buy epic has to wait now cause I need this for work. What the hell.

They should have been able to call into their own service department to figure it out right then or there. Seems like bad CS to do that to you. Though I'm not entirely surprised.

I also am on SERO Premium. IMHO, you should ask to speak to Account Services, they are usually the ones who had been most helpful when I had to deal with messes involving SERO.

well I'm going back tonight we'll see what happens
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Upgrading to the E4G on SERO was a nightmare, which took me to 3 different stores and none of them could do it. You might have an easier time just finding out what the employee services phone number is and ordering through telesales. Let us know what happens, please.

I also have a SERO account and I have problems going to a Sprint store to buy/activate new phones as well. Go to Best Buy. For some reason they can do it with no problem... Radio Shack can't do it either.

How long ago was this and where? Best Buy was the first place I tried for the E4G and they were totally unable to do the upgrade. That was several years ago, I'd be surprised if anything's changed.

Go here: http://community.sprint.com/baw/community/buzzaboutwireless/plans
Or email [email protected]
Those have been set up by sprint to handle SERO account service questions, and handle upgrades, etc. I wouldn't bother with a store unless you are willing to take the time to educate the salesperson yourself. I've done that once or twice, but it's never been worth it.

I have been doing this for years. Just as recent as last year when I upgraded to my epic touch and in Aug when I added another line. I live in Southern California so I don't know if that matters.

HTC Trade-Up Program

I just got the email to register my information and to see if I'm qualified for the $100 gift card or if the phone is greater. As long as your phone is still usable with no damage you will something. I'm pretty happy because I'm going to get $100 gift card for this crappy Samsung Intercept that I have been patient with for so long lol.
Now all I need is the 'One' and life will be good :laugh:

just sold my One X for $360 on eBay..
might give up my old blackberry if they willing to give $100 for just any phone long as it in good condition

I'm currently on a Motorola Photon, but I also still have my previous phone, an HTC Touch Pro2... I'm thinking about turning in the TP2 for the $100 gift card, and turning the MoPho over to Sprint for the $40 statement credit... Double dipping.
Only reason I've been keeping the TP2 around was for occasional international travel, as the MoPho is a little hit and miss when it comes to recognizing data capabilities on foreign SIM cards (has something to do with being unable to read the APN on the SIM). I've actually used the TP2 as a wireless hot spot for my MoPho when traveling internationally, which is goofy. Hopefully the One won't have this problem, never was able to figure out if the problem was caused by Motorola, Sprint, or some combination... Each kept pointing at the other.

My sister lives in Chicago. If I were to purchase a Canadian HTC One and got her to send in my phone would I qualify?
If so... might be a great offer And I would actually purchase the HTC One on release.

I wonder how this works? I'm on vzw with a thunderbolt, and will probably break my contract in march when the one comes out. When it says carrier, does it mean the one your trade in is on, or the one you'll get your One on?

I believe it's the carrier the one is going to be registered on. I plugged in an old treo i had laying around and it accepted it on the site so it doesn't look like it's limited in any way other than the pre-registration and the purchase date on the one.
