I just talked to a sprint rep about trying to push my upgrade because of the changeover of the premier status from 1yr to 2yrs. I got denied, but I did find out about this buy back (or buy up, I can't remember for sure) program.
If you are within 10 months of your two year upgrade you can pay 75$ and they will reset your eligibility. So granted I can't get a phone now as i'm still 12 months out from 2 yrs, in Oct I can call back and tell them I would like to do this and they charge 75$ to your account and reset your eligibility so you get a full upgrade. It's better than nothing. I hope this helps some people that are looking for a new phone.
I called this number I think it's been posted in other threads to go right to a rep.
877-775-4886
From the sounds of it you should be able to call just normal customer care as well though.
Easy math for the upgrade:
The math is you have to be 10 months from your actual two year upgrade. So if you hit one year aug 1st you can't use this until oct 1.
or
after 14 months this will work.
so how does the math work.. if you were to get a say the nexus s? would it be that much cheaper?

if u get it at best buy today
it would cost 75 bucks
Hold up so on Aug 1st I hit a yr so am eligible for the partial upgrade.. meaning I can call and have them reset the upgrade for 75 and get the 2yr price ..

That nexus deal was why I tried to get them to push the upgrade , oh well. someday I'll get a good deal like that, just not today.

I thought you could just get your eligibility reset when you are at least one year into your contract.
Ya shoulda kept pushing to get your 1 year upgrade back so you could get a free (45$ activation) nexus s at best buy today. That's how I got my gf a free epic during their gaga for phones promotion. You can still try just keep saying the contract I signed included yearly upgrades and I want to use it at best buy cause at first they want youto buy it from them at normal price 199.99.

What is the point of buying up? A full 2 year upgrade discount is only $150. So you would still technically pay the same amount for a phone(that isnt free). I was told I could buy up for $45. subtract that from the full discount and my current $75 discount and they are only saving me an extra $30 bucks on a $500+ phone. it would be cheaper to pay an etf then sign a new contract or wait two months after a full upgrade and sign a new contract. This is just my understanding.

It's good to get the reset to take advantage of deal prices for upgrading to a new phone. For instance if you had an upgrade best buy was giving away nexus s for free today. think about it when the epic came out with an upgrade it was only 150 or something without it was like 5 hundo +, so I'd pay the 75 to save that much.

i just called the sprint store & my friend that owns the store... said its an extra $75 on top of what the phone costs... so unless the brand newest nexus 4g is free which its not... so its price will be the new contract price + $75 for the early upgrade
if you really really want a discount... did you guys know that the 2yr 1yr contract renewal price for phones is the same... & also the same if you were a random person who never had sprint... sprints "discounts" are a scam... everyone in the world gets the same discount no matter how long youve been or not been with sprint, so that being said call sprint & ***** to em about how youve been a loyal customer for however long & why does some random person get the same discount as me & your going to drop sprint when your contract ends & goto verizion or att or whatever... this is what i do every time i want a new phone & they will gladly give you at least an extra $75 credit toward a new phone or on your bill

so i lost my phone the other night and long story short sprint has awesome customer service, and they pushed me forward to allow me to purchase an "upgrade". kind sucks though right now as i had the evo and currently there's not many more options. what should i do? another evo? i was thinking about the shift and it seems pretty promising hardware and overclocking capabilities?
So, if I were you, I would buy a used phone, and Hold On to that upgrade credit. Even used Evos are kinda cheap right now, and if you "upgrade" to that, well then you are Stuck with that on contract. And thats bad because ...
Currently, there is no "upgrade" from the Evo from Sprint (yes yes, debatable. Some say the Epic is awesome, I don't think so.)
Sprint is about to announce new phones on Tues, and if they let you keep your credit for a few months, you should be able to grab an Evo3D.
wait for the EVO 3D

Its sort of like an in between fee. He paid a small to get his upgrade now, instead of the 3 months when he may have gotten it. The ETF would be as in ending your contract, cutting the sprint service.

Well I said 3 months as an example, it could have been at the end of the year. And as far as I know, the fee is variable, based upon when you ask for it.
So like march > june = smaller fee

Even if the price is virtually the same, an ETF and an early upgrade to your line are still different. You keep you current plan and you current account, as well as the time you've been there (aren't there benefits for 10 year customers or something?)
I guess there are reasons to want an entirely new account, I just don't know them.

That makes sense. I didn't realize ETF would cost you your account history. I wonder is the dollar amount is the same though.
I know people who have paid ETFs before because it was only like 50 bucks and they turned right around and signed a new contract and got a 500 dollar phone for 200 dollars. 300 dollar savings makes the ETF worth it in such a case, if its far enough into the contract. (If you don't mind losing account history. Are you certain you lose it?)

Yup, account history is definitely lost.

Yea sprint is doing away with the yearly upgrades unless you are a premium member or whatever it's call. Basically if your not spending a certain amount you lost it
Well that sucks...Will they let me use my fiances upgrade thats due in about 60 days(her actual 2 year upgrade,hasnt gotten a new phone in 2 years) for my number?...And I will just go ahead and use my current upgrade to get her a new phone.Does Sprint let you do that?

It's always been like that, the price just went up on qualifications. They're not "doing away" with anything.
My line qualified for an upgrade on 10/10, and I just asked tonight, and they said since I have already earned it, it will remain until I choose to use it. Sounds ideal to me, those that earned the privilege during the terms of the offer should be entitled to keep it, and for everyone else the terms just got stretched out longer.
If you already have the upgrade sitting there it will stay

Look like you WILL lose your upgrade.
I just found this page on Sprint's website.
http://premier.sprint.com/premierupdate/faq.html
Here's the part that confirms you will lose your upgrade.
If the line qualifying for an annual upgrade is 12-21 months from the last upgrade, the upgrade must be used by March, 31, 2011. Otherwise, effective April 1, 2011, the upgrade eligibility on that line will be changed to 22 months.

This is a bit misleading. Yes, you get the $75 upgrade after 12 months, but this is simply $75 off the full retail price of the phone. When you get the "$150" upgrade, you actually get the same pricing that a new customer does, including rebates. So, this ends up being more like a $300 discount.

I ordered mine through Amazon for 1 cent with free 2 day shipping with a new contract. No taxes on the value of the phone and its 1 cent out the door. It may be free at Best Buy but be prepared to pay sales tax on 699.99 (their regular price wtf?). Thats $57.74 where I live (OC at 8.25% sales tax). Best Buy is not good for new contracts but good if you are renewing your contract because Amazon charges 99.99 for renewals. It is still free for renewing your contract at Best Buy.

No you can get one under your name. You keep the iPhone you have. I got the Nexsus S on Saturday and will be going tomorrow to get my $99 back. It is actually cheaper to get on contract and cancel later as you will only have paid around $340 vs $529 buy out right without contract at Best Buy.

Unfortunately not since it is still a week away from being released. You might have to wait until Thanksgiving/Valentine's Day for the SGS3 to be free since they usually offer these specials around holidays.
I went into a Tmobile store for a new sim card and while I was there inquired about the terms. If I were eligible, I would have to change my plan and my per month cost would end up being much higher than it is now. So if you take them up on this, make sure you understand the terms and conditions as it is not as easy as walking in and getting a new phone for free. You have to pay the 300 (for the OneS) plus taxes and upgrade fees, keep the line open until you get your rebate back, and change your plan to one that may not be better for you.
If I had an upgrade available, I would buy it from Bestbuy as it is only 100 and you dont have to change your plan, just extend it. Plus no waiting for a rebate.

With the Value and Classic plans there were a lot of requirements.
They run this sale quite often.
I can explain it if you'd like.

can you answer this?
About a year ago, I moved to the area whre TMO have horrible reception.
All I get is Voice Mails.
If I keep complaining about it, will they let me get out of contract w/o ETF ???
Does t-mobile have a back to school offer?
Yes they have 2 back to school offers. BOGO free Samsung Galaxy II or Galaxy S Blaze & add a line for $5/month till 2014 which works with any phone. You can combine the discount/waived activation fees with these BTS promos - just say the promo code 13997 TMOFAV on the phone
My cousin has a pretty beat up S2 i777. He is ready for n upgrade. His upgrade is June 1st. Is there a way AT&T can push his upgrade up for a slight cost? I'm on Sprint and they'll let me push my upgrade up for a fee. Just curious.
EDIT: Whoops, meant to post this in Q&A. Mods move please.

probably move it up and let him buy it on the phone. Call in nice and let them know his phone is not working so well. They'll help usually.
Mine wasn't until June. 10th but they let me move up because I was a long valued customer

I've tried this is three different corporate stores, and they've all told me the same thing. You can upgrade early if you're in the same calendar month as your stated date. So, since his is the 1st of the month, he's screwed. Otherwise, you can pay a $250 early upgrade fee. Ridiculous, I know, but that's the way it is.

isnt it a $250 early termination fee MINUS $10 for every month he was on contract...so really it would be closer to $50 plus the upgrade pruce and $36 upgrade fee and than taxes...

Moved for you Stew
My upgrade was in September but they let me upgrade.
I have three lines and one was eligible in June. So I asked and a manager OK'ed it. But the guy doing the upgrade upgrade my September line. Lol so I have another upgrade next month.
AND since I had an S3 they didnt charge me the $36 upgrade because I told them I have the sim and they don't have to worry about it.

That's not what they told me in store. BUT, there's always the possibility that they had no idea what they were talking about, so you may be right.
It's infuriating that people are actually having success with this, when they refuse to let me upgrade only 5 days early...

Any store will let you upgrade as long as it's in within the same calendar month. Depends on the store you go to if you want to upgrade earlier than that. I went to 4 stores, and only one let me upgrade early because "the manager was feeling good". And according to the AT&T phone support, each store has an allowed quota that they can let upgrade early each month. You might just be out of that quota, or have a crappy AT&T store or both.
Anything is possible. I upgraded in April when my upgrade was in September. So obviously it's possible. Your other option is to call AT&T and they will surely let you upgrade as long as your account is in good standing, but then you'd have to wait for shipping. I would personally do that, as currently all the stores in my area are completely out of stock.
I'll give my cousin this info and see what happens. lol
Thanks all.
Well I called over the phone to upgrade and I was due in may 1, 2014 they let me upgrade to a s4 .the bad is that u pay extra 50$ and the phone is ion back order.so give it a try and good luck.
