1. If you have TEP you can keep it.
2. Yes you can, as long as both of you are in good standing with your accounts.

Also good advice, trade at a sprint store, make sure you're unrooted.

So... I would walk into a store with said seller. Tell them we traded phones. They verify that both accounts are active and the esns are clean I assume? If everythings good then thy would just switch phones on the account for you? Would I be able to keep equipment protection?

What if the sellers phone was never activated? Post says looking to trade brand new ns4g. Not sure if he means never activated or just activated.

Call sprint from a separate phone and do an esn swap from your phone to nexus then have him activate or whatever he wants to do with the phone you give him. of course you will both have to be together when you do this. Just make sure you can activate the nexus on your account and have sprint clear your old esn before you give him your phone. Sprint customer service can swap phones very easily over the phone, as long as you're not calling from ths phones you are dealing with.
I personally would feel weird going into a sprint store and take up their time when doing a phone trade like that. That's just me though.

It may sound stupid but my buddy got one and bought a case for it. The looks and feel of the nexus s with a case are PERFECT for me. Feels amazing in the hand with a case. Holding it reminds me of when I had my iPhone 3g. As much as I hated it it felt great in the hand. I could type one handed and type with very high accuracy with my eyes closed.

I recently did the same trade, question about insurance. If I have the nexus now, will they give me another nexus under the insurance or an epic? Been wondering this.

From what I've been told by a Sprint employee, it doesn't matter where you bought the phone. TEP covers any phone on your line. I have even told them that I bought the phone from someone on Craigslist.

Traded Vibrant for Galaxy S2

Just traded my vibrant at Target for 90 bucks and they are having a sale on galaxy s2 for 99.99 so with tax I paid 15.99 for the phone. Its for new and upgrade. Thought I would share.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

Sweet deal! I didnt know Target took trade ins on phones. Where was it at?

Sounds SWEET!
Now time to convince T-mobile for an early upgrade. Any ideas? I'm not a very good debater.

Great deal!
Ahh... I envy the US market so much. Here in Brazil a sgs2 costs at least 17 times more than what Target was selling. And nobody does decent tradeins here.

LUCKY GUY!
I went to my Target and bestbuy and they pretty much told me to **** off because a deal like that is impossible haha gotta love the american attitude.

What?! This is amazing. I'm sappy for you, and myself haha.

Yeah thanks guys. The trade in program was through next tag I think. They take all kinds of stuff too.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

In order to "upgrade" you need to essentially extend your contract right?

Edit..
Never mind I just re-read the OP.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

so I guess what it comes down is extend the contract now and get a Galaxy 2 (for almost free) or wait till it expires to resign and get a Galaxy 3? Probably will wait if that's the case.

Yeah that's usually the case.

Trade in old phone from Samsung up to $300!

Was just browsing the samsung site after i got my new S3, and wow I can't believe it! My S2 gets a quote of $135 from Samsung directly! that's right! i can mail in my phone to samsung and they will give me a cheque for it!
anyone tried this service? do they pay you exactly what is quoted?
Seems to work in US and Canada ATM.
also is the S2 worth more than $135 on the used market?
the site is here:
http://www.samsungupgrade.com/

I'll give you $140 NOW.

Your s2 is worth more when you sell it privately. Avoid these type of 'deals' unless you really don't care for the phone and don't wish to make much profit off of it.

140.01 here...

Powered by the SGSIII

www.gazelle.com and www.usell.com I've seen offers for the GS2 as high as $200 recently.

I've found eBay instant sale usually pays the most. looks like up to $220 depending on which S2.

Yeah you should be able to get $300 for it on either craigslist (if you live in a major city) and ebay if you dont

Which one is it? If T mobile, I got 180 for it right now.

Lol,just sold my wife gsII for 300.00 on Ebay.If you get anything under 250.00 you made a bad deal.some are going for 350.00+.She really wanted this phone.I'm holding out for the new nexus in Nov.I will sell my SgII to anyone here in Nov for 200.00
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

T-Mobile is still selling it for $199.00 with a 2 year contract. LOL.

Hmm didn't expect this to turn into an offer thread lol. I have no prior experience with ebay I just wanted convenience. Also I'm from Canada, market is probably slightly different here. Maybe I'll see if my friends can help me sell it on ebay and whatnot. Don't want to be a victim of fraud though, does ebay guarantee you get the money if someone scams you?

Epic 4g for sale

Just found out I'm eligible for my upgrade so I'm thinking its time for the S3.
I was thinking of listing my Epic with what ever rom you want on it
16gb memory card
Sedio case. Zagg shield on the front.
4 batteries. Oem 1500. Oem 1800. Crappy 1500. Brand new as of Friday Anker 1800
I'm thinking 120 would be decent for that and I can cover shipping in the US cause I got a hook up.
The goal here is paypal. That way I can buy the new phone right away and move my account over cause this is my work phone. I can't afford to be with out it for a day.
Any opinions. Under the shell the thing looks brand new.

so i take it shes using your upgrade money to buy the new iphone in a few weeks?
:good:

No but she did drop 270 bucks on new clothes for her with out even flinching.
I think she has about 6 months before she can upgrade. She's on verizon and gets real 4g in san diego, so we'll see, but I garantee that if she wants it, she'll buy it no questions asked. For my upgrade I have to sell blood

I wouldn't personally. An iPhone 5 on Craigslist is selling for around $400. A new S4 on Craigslist will cost around $540. Seems to me that if you want to get another S4 you will lose money on this deal.

Someone else offered me a 32gb iPhone 5 and 150$

you should....totally.....cause who wouldnt want a downgraded worthless paperweight of a phone instead of a new gs4? and then once you do the deal you can take that 150 you got from them and invest in an "im a dumbass" t-shirt.......

Lol, this just cracked me up. Seriously though, you shouldn't. You're asking an Android forum if you should trade your S4 for an iPhone. You know the answer you're going to get. Even if you took the second offer just to resell the iPhone, you're not making any profit unless you buy a cheaper device whatever it may be. Just no.

Never

I say if you want an iPhone, go for it. I did the same trade (minus the money). But I was the one with an iPhone. Loving this s4.

I have both but I still wouldn't do it
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

nope
Not a chance. But i don't like iphone's and the S4 is just plain sexy

I'm going to do the 150$ and iPhone 5 because I'm going to get the S4 back again by trading it for A S4. When you switch to a different phone on sprint does the warranty and insurance switch to the new phone automatically?

Then just keep your current s4 rather than trying to go in a circle to make a quick buck. Because you might just run into a wall instead. It's harder to trade an iPhone 5 for an s4 than you think.

Go with which ever one you like better...

i was thinking about trading my s4 for the sprint htc one.. so i made a post on craigslist and like 5 people hit me up in a day!! now im stuck and dont kno what to do.. i like both phones.. the only reason im thinking of trading is because the one has way more development going for it.. and i love to flash roms/kernels.. i know this phone hasent been out for long but its deff goin rather slow.. all the other s4 carriers have way more roms then we do.. so i guess ill wait a few weeks to see if things pick up at all.. then ill make the trade.. look at verizion s4 thread!! boy i wish i had the verizon s4!

Hi! That's actually a good deal. apple devices do not depreciate right away. If you want you can do that and you can participate to the buyback program of sprint and get more! https://secure.sprintbuyback.com/cns/select regardless what carrier its from they will get it. $220 is the exact qoute.
