where is the best place to purchase a g1

I am looking to buy a g1 without a new contract but I don't wanna spend 3-4 hundred dollars. Does anyone know where the best deal for a g1 without a contract is?

Ebay. With a whole lotta luck.
But with a contract through walmart its $99.

Hehe. I sold my beaten up iPhone 2G for the same price as an immaculate 3 month old G1
I'm just waiting for the Magic's to come down in price on eBay, hopefully they will when people start upgrading to the Hero.

get out off att contract

i want to end my contract with att but i dont want to pay 175 dollars is there a fool proof way to get out of my contract?

Actually I have a question here, too.
I'm eligible for upgrade next January. Does that mean I can get out of the contract by that time or do I still need to serve the full 2 years in their prison?

Are you on unlimited data? You could try to use an enormous amout of data... I don't know if this will work though, I have seen people's bill who have used 15-20gb's with no notice...

That's one reason I'm not hesitating on my data usage... I'm probably going to hit 10-12gb's this month and I don't tether at all, I wonder what I would use if I started tethering

i would imagine that the tiered data plan would have been a great loophole

No, having an upgrade doesnt mean you're out of contract. Unless your two years are up, you will still get an ETF. But at least its prorated.

I have heard that if you tell them you are leaving the country they will let you out of your contract without paying the ETF. Maybe tell them you or your family got a job in Europe or something.

you signed a contract, how about you honor it or pay the ETF like you said you would?

Sometimes I have heard that if you are moving to a new cellular company, you can convince them to pay the fee for you if you sign onto one of their contracts. Going from one contract to another, but if you wanted to switch to Verizon you might be able to get them to pay it for you.
(Notice: I have never done this nor know anyone who has tried it. I read it was possible online so results will vary. Also depends on who you are dealing with I assume)

Still showing up on my account maybe next billing cycle. I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. lol

Interesting... i'll have some information for you guys when I go back to work tomorrow.

EDIT; If you hit "Analyze my plan" it shows up in there. It's just not listed on the login page anymore.

Holy crap it's gone from mine too!
/sarcasm
From what I understand it's just a glitch. Why would they remove the 4G phones only and not the 3G phones? If anything it would be the other way around.

If thats the case they shouldn't be able to charge us for the new 3G 10.00 until contract expire or upgrade renew.
If they try it will be breach of contract adding additional cost thus many will be waving bye bye without paying early termination fee.

you're right.

its still on my bill :/
wow, looks like gameloft snuck an another charge on me. for something that shouldbe been free (buy one get one free special)
im done buying games from those clowns.

This would be great as I havent used 4G the entire year i`ve had my phone!

actually they're adding the fee to everyone.
http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/2011/01/18/sprint-add-fee-smartphone-data-plans/

It does indeed show up on analyze my plan. However, it's unclear if that's showing the old information or new. My statement cuts in a few days, and by the 19th of the month, the new bill is usually viewable. I'll report back.

The $10 fee still shows up for me if I analyze my plan. They must have just taken it off the front account page so it doesnt slap us in the face everytime we go to pay our bills lol

I agree with this!
Sent from my Evo while i should be working

Just got the most recent bill. $10 still on there even though it's not in the sprint.com summary page.
Someone probably commented out a line or two of code..

Being a sprint employee, i can assure you guys that the 10.00 "Premium data(this is the real name for it") feature is not going anywhere. 4g or not, it is here to stay. if you upgrade or swap to a phone that requires a data plan, its game over. The only people that it is waived for are large corporate accounts. individual liable customers (that's you guys) will have to pay it. It is either this, or cap your data...

Yup it appears the way but they said that all smarphones were going to lay for it so probably that's y, I ma wait another 10 days to see my new bill and see what's up

How to check Sprint account rating/worthiness?

There was a thread a few months back that had directions to view your Sprint account rating/worthiness. I forgot how to view it and tried googling with no success.
Any help?
Thanks,
Anthony

I'm pretty interested in this too. Anyone have any info?

Log into your account at sprint.com
Then clear the address bar and enter the following url and hit enter:
javascript:function getYesNo(s){if(s=='Y') {return 'Yes';}else{return 'No';}};alert("Your Hidden Stats:\n\nSprint Financial Value: "+loyaltyAccVal+" of 10 (higher is better)\nCredit Class: "+creditClass+"\nAccount Spending Limit: "+getYesNo(aslFlag)+"\nHotlined Account: "+getYesNo(hotlineFlag));

My results -
Your Hidden Stats:
Sprint Financial Value: 008 of 10 (higher is better)
Credit Class: G5
Account Spending Limit: No
Hotlined Account: No
So how good is this? I have no idea how many credit classes there are, or e.g. are most people 8/10? What are the benefits?

Is that because of your employee discount?

No. SERO-P + Smartphone fee + TEP (Soon will be $8) so $57 now and soon to be $58.
Rumor for now "Sprint TEP is going up to $8 starting 7/24/11. This effects New AND existing customers." from here

Something interesting here
For those who work for Sprint, we all know there is different credit classes that sprint assigned each customer.
There is the A class, which is the best credit rating, but then there is G class. From my understanding and talking to my friend, both the A & G class can potentially have up to 10 lines of service.
What is the difference between the A class and the G class?
If you know and you aren't an employee, feel free to share.
you know in the sprint system I've never seen a diffrence I wonder if G is someone that started out on a spending limit and becasue of great sprint history is now someone that is in the same class as A but credit wise isnt? Or maybe someone that is considered great customer but a risk o leaving,

A = Awesome
G = Great
maybe?

You unworthy people!

I am unable to get it to work. Any advice? All it does is stay on the same page.

class y5
i must be the worst customer ever!

I wonder what Class H1 means...

I was a 9/10 and an H1 as well

Sprint Financial Value: 007
Credit Class: S5
Account Spending Limit: Yes
Hotlined Account: No
No idea what it means, but ok.
For the record, I have horrible credit, been with Sprint for a year come July 2nd, and pay the $89.99 plan.

AT&T HTC ONE X $49.99 radioshack upgrade!

this is the lowest I've seen so far for this phone, get it while it last! You need to be eligible for an upgrade and I think you have to upgrade a family primary line, so there are still some limitations.

I bought the phone from by phone to ensure that i will keep my unlimited data plan.
The Salesman (It is a salesman and i believed him !!!) told me that i will keep my plan.
I received the bill from email and i see that my plan was retrograde to 300Mb for $20.
Call them back and they say sorry, we love you, the sky is blue with a lot of sun and birds, it was a miscommunication.
Is there a way to get back after receive the phone the grandfathered unlimited data plan ? or I need to cancel my order
$50 for that phone instead of 200
Thanks Guys

When buying online like amazon or radio shack you have to one call and don't do the computer order method. And 2 call att and get a good rep and let him know your buying online which requires a plan change but want to keep your unlimited data. And a good rep will mark your account so once you get the phone you can call and restore you unlimited data.
I don't screw around with that crap the extra money compared to the headache of dealing with countless idiot reps etc..
