Sprint Promotion

So I just got a call from Sprint saying that I was eligible to receive a free Palm Pixi with a small account upgrade. Is this something they do often, and has anyone else gotten a call? Is it just for Evo owners? Should I replace my Evo with the Palm Pixi?(LOL jk)

they seem to be getting more involved with their customers, im getting the same promos for various phones, they offered me a 199 evo just yesterday and a free blackberry like 2 months ago, i also got some kind of loyalty offer today, havent bothered to read it yet

Just so you know, the pixi is free for all new lines right now...
and going from an EVO to the pixi is a pretty major step down. I wonder if anyone ever actually takes them up on that offer.

Got the same call today, but don't know what phone he was offering because told him I was leaving Sprint anyway on Nov. 8 (at least for 30 days) to try a win phone 7 device.

That's like trading in your Yukon for a Corolla. Or trading your dignity for a Pixi.

I called for a little assistance with my account about 2 months ago and out of nowhere the fit offers me a $70 credit to renew the 2 year contract on my line and assured me it wouldn't effect my upgrade in Dec. Now that I think of it I wonder if my next upgrade after that will be Dec of '11 or a year from my recent renewal.. I've been had! lol

Your contract date and your upgrade date are independent of each other. Renewing your contract doesn't change your upgrade date, so you will still get your upgrade a year from your last upgrade.

[Q] Upgrade/April 1st

Im sorry to start another thread on this subject but i've never seen the message that tells you when you are available for an upgrade and was curious to know if this is the message you get for a yearly upgrade(pic posted)
I bought my Evo Outright last year...But January 8th 2010 i used an upgrade to the HTC Hero..Im going to lose it April 1st arent I?

I wouldn't think so if you are already eligible BUT why not just call Sprint instead of posting here? Seriously.

because i have called Sprint and I told them about this message(picture posted) and they didn't know what the hell I was talking about and said I will lose my upgrade April 1st..I also went to my local sprint store and the manager there said I would be eligable for my upgrade when the Evo3D comes out this summer..So that is why I am here because i've gotten 2 different answers from Sprint Reps.

I would edit that photo to get rid of your phone number. There are alot of pranksters here on XDA.

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

Man,right when I was coming to terms with the fact I was going to lose my upgrade you throw another sway in the other direction...Arrrrg,i dont know whats going to happen.

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.

you could raise your plan, but that will most likely cost more then the $75 you'd be saving.

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.

July 24th for Sprint Within

My source just emailed me with a date of the 24th of July. This is by no means official, yet my source is right everytime. Many of you know this.

What does that mean for At&t, would they be sometime before, or after?

Looks like I will wait a week after the evo 3d is released to buy it so I can get the sgs2 within the 30 day window

Not sure if this is the same guy, but another insider says late July so it sounds right. Will they mutilate the front of the phone at all or will it have the same 3 button setup as the international version?
http://androidspin.com/2011/06/02/a...ly-release-for-the-samsung-within-galaxy-s-2/

$350 w/contract with a mail in rebate. So Samsung's not only raised the retail prices they've raised the wholesale prices too. The battery should last about an hour and a half with Wi-Max.

Isn't it pretty typical for most carrier's new high end phones to say something around $350 or $300 and have an instant (supposed MIR) rebates bringing them to $200 or $250?
However I would think the AT&T version would show up first, as it went through FCC already. They probably held on to releasing it because of the Infuse, and didn't want the two devices to compete.

I guess it depends on the rebate. The yet-to-be launched EVO 3D on Sprint is $199 without the need for a rebate. So it seems the SGS2 will be Sprint's new flagship.

The 3vo is actually $350 and you get a $150 instant rebate if you are a new customer or renewing contract.

Is the Photon being delayed? How does that affect the SGS2?

A dev just found all the AT&T LTE settings in KG1. Their LTE network will be up in few weeks and they have no phone for it. I'm guessing because of AT&T's financial value to Samsung (vs. Sprint) no one will launch the SGS2 before AT&T. Sprint's got plenty of 4G phones and AT&T's got none (not counting fake-4G). There's typically a period of exclusivity ranging from 30-90 days which means other carriers would follow in the Fall. But someone else posted Samsung's going for a simultaneous launch on all three carriers (T-Mobile's screwed). Just some stuff to think about...

But does that mean the SGS2 will be out in July or in August for AT&T? I am so sick and tired of this lame iPhone.

AT&T announced they're launching their LTE network in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Atlanta and Chicago, this Summer. The phone's already passed through the FCC and now there's LTE code in the latest firmware. Knowing Samsung wants the phone deployed fast in the U.S. I'd be surprised if it was longer than 60 days from now. I'd bet we'll start hearing rumors and seeing sightings soon as AT&T is already testing their LTE network in Texas. All of this is still just a guess.

WDM I wonder if your source confused the Samsung Conquer 4G, that is being released on 7/24 with the Within. FWIW the Photon 4G isn't being delayed, it just passed through the FCC and will be out in a few weeks.

Here's some more confirmation on the July 24th release date.
http://samsunggalaxys2review.org/samsung-galaxy-s2-sprint-release-as-early-as-july-24
Makes perfect "sense" because it allows Evo 3D owners, like myself to trade in. Although this date is cutting it VERY CLOSE for those who got the Evo 3D on launch.
I'm in the same boat as you. I'm loving my Evo 3D, I got 2.5 days of battery before having to recharge and I'm loving Sense 3.0.
So, my question is, anyone on here tried Sense 3.0 and also the new Touch Wiz and can give us a good comparison?

Sprint launches early upgrade promo

In an industry where customer churn can be likened to the fearsome troll under the bridge, Sprint has launched a program designed to keep its favored subscribers around for another two years. While not everyone is eligible -- those who've upgraded less than eight months ago, corporate outfits and those in collections need not inquire -- the program lets customers buy their way out of their current commitment and become eligible for a new, subsidized handset. The promotion begins February 12th and is set to run through the 14th of April, where the amount you pay correlates to the time since your last upgrade. So if you're currently pining for the Epic 4G Touch or the iPhone 4S, just give your local Sprint store a call this Sunday. They just may be able to hook you up.

And you know why sprint is offering this? Because they have no plans on releasing any new devices any time soon. So appease their customers, they're giving option to cheaply upgrade...... My theory Anyway

Sprint might be switching over to GSM, or at least dual-radioing their phones, what with Google taking down all CDMA support from the Android developers' page. (a guy can hope)

Probably because people like me, who have a family plan and are getting a discount through work, are able to cancel this month with no ETF fee.
They are probably launching this to lure those people who might leave to stay with Sprint.
I'll soon be saying goodbye to my trusty EVO 4G and picking up a free Galaxy S II on T-Mobile tomorrow.

Unfortunately there isn't really anything worthwhile to chose from. I'd rather wait until after some LTE phones are out.

Too little too late IMO. Sprint is losing tons of money. The only reason I stay with them is unlimited data, and when my contract is up in 2 months they better have the Sprint Nexus out and give it to me for a very good deal.
Verizon has better coverage, fast LTE and the Nexus - Sprint need to compete with that for the tons of people who were original Evo4G customers.

But the Verizon Nexus will not be capable of roms compiled from source due to CDMA support from Google being pulled (same as sprint), as per my understanding.

My kingdom for a Sprint Nexus.

This article seems to have went away..Anyone know where some info is on this? the link in the OP doesnt go anywhere but to the main site page now.

While the Nexus seems great, you have to be anxious for possible lte phones from sprint like the HTC Zeta (drool), HTC Edge, and the Sammy Galaxy SIII.
It is possible that Sprint will pick up at least one of these Q2 in 2012. After MWC we should know more.
I have been with sprint almost 20 years now, and 2 years ago they hooked me good with the Evo. Man I hope they get an equal replacement for everyone who purchased one 2 years ago and is ready for an upgrade.
It would be cool to have a phone as powerful as my Transformer Prime, and with better wifi....lol

Personally I think it has to do with Sprint's network. My tinfoil hat theory is that they don't have the cash to upgrade their network to keep pace with the other carriers so they're trying to lock people into contracts . From my perspective first and foremost is their lack of tower back haul and having the proper bandwidth available in many areas Secondarily, LTE won't be fully rolled out for quite a while.
I live in a small to medium sized city which has Div 1 university. I average 10-75 kbps each night when I get home from work and not much better when I leave in the mornings. Watching the network.spring.com website, there was to be a capacity upgrade to the tower closest to me. Now its not listed on the website anymore. Thanks Sprint.

Well I've looked all over the sprint website and still don't see the promo anywhere.

Besides the current top shelf smartphones, Evo 3d, Nexus, and epic....what does sprint have to offer right now that is truly an upgrade. The Evo has the most development I have ever seen on these forums. With all the current development for our Evo these phones just seem like a lateral movement. Especially with the upcoming line up from Samsung and HTC.
Not trying to argue. Maybe I'm not seeing all that's out there.
Thanks

I got my Sprint contract end-date moved, now I can LTEVO Monday!

I am very happy! I went into my local Sprint store, had googley eyes at the attractive Sprint guy, but he told me he couldn't move my contract end date so I could get the EVO LTE when it comes out. (My contract isn't up until Sept. 1 2012)
I called *2, explained to the rep that I wanted to stay with sprint another two years if I could upgrade to the EVO 4G LTE that is to be released for pre-order day after tomorrow. She said no.
She was eager to try options though and put me on hold. Her supervisor came back (without me asking for her). I said, "I will gladly pay any pro-rated fees to move my contract up to an early date. She told me there was nothing she could do to move my contract dates.
THEN
I said, "Why can't I pay the pro-rated penalty for canceling my contract at this point into it (20 months in) and.."
"Sir before we consider cancelling your service, let me transfer you to the department that can move your date up for you!"
And had no problems after that.
I would suspect Sprint would be willing to do anything to keep customers, as they have spent so much money on building a fallen 4G network and building a new 4G network, and after buying all them iPhones. lol
So, I will be a happy EVO 4G LTE pre-order customer come Monday!

Good for you.

I don't get it, if you're going to stay on the same carrier anyways, why not upgrade? If you end up wanting to terminate your contract you'd still end up paying less in total through an upgrade than without one anyways.

Sprint will let anyone buy out there contract if the area you live in is approved for buy out. It sounds weird but they actually have maps of areas where customers can and can't buy out by region.
