First time upgrade on Sprint. How does it work?

I have the original Evo4G which I got almost 2 years ago. I haven't upgraded while on Sprint so I am wondering how it works. Last time I upgraded I had Verizon so it was a new every 2 type deal where I was getting a new phone for free. I see sprint gives a $150 credit. Does that mean I have to pay $400 for the new evo lte? Can someone shed some light on this before I go to the Sprint Store as I want to get the best deal I can without them bending me over. Thanks!

Ultimately you get more than 150 off. Basically the Evo lte will cost you 199 at sprint, as will any of their top tier phones. 199 is kind of sprints Max price on upgrade or new phone.
VZW gave em free, huh? Nice.
sent from 2yr old Evo on ICS

the phone will be 199. plus some BS fees. the total comes to about 225 bucks.

thanks guys, been wondering this myself as well

If your off contract eBay it up man, spend the extra as sprint makes you go a full two years without upgrade. plus you can get an international version which I'm pretty sure comes unlocked from HTC. That's how I got my og and it was unlocked in a sealed factory box.

Plus a $30 activation fee.

Or try wirefly for 120 and then if u got AAA call them to get activation waived, if u really want to make the most of ur ur upgrade experience, call Sprint and ask if you have a Contract renewal bonus on ur account, if u do you can extend ur contract and get 50+ bucks, then go and buy a phone and sign a 2 yr contract, then 20 months latter do it again

International version won't work on sprint, and cdma devices can't be unlocked, that only works on GSM carriers I.e. T-Mobile and at&t just so you know before you go buying an unlocked international version of a device and then find out after you have it that it's not gonna work on your carrier in any way, shape or form

Besides not being tied to a contract, what are some of the benefits to buying unlocked phone - freedom to choose from multiple carriers? I live in ATL, and Sprint is about to release their LTE here, so my thought was to wait for the G S III when it's released.

Activation fees are $36. Check out their discount program, credit unions waive it.

About the unlocked question, sprint has to load every esn into a database unlocked Intl or GSM only phones are not and therefore cannot be activated. If you buy a sprint phone on ebay make sure the esn is clear before buying. Sprint will be able to check the status for you.

Having never gotten a "brand new" phone before, I am curious about the timeline... I'm shocked we still don't know when the phone will be released - how hard is it to figure out when you want to release a phone?
So, with my impatience leading the charge here, how long was it between the EVO 4G pre-order and the actual release date? How about with the EVO 3D? Thanks everyone! I wish they would tell you upon pre-ordering.

Sprints upgrade discount is a complete lie!!!! Sprint customers who's contract just ran out will pay the same price as anyone just walking in and buying the phone. Now Verizon actually gives their customers, who's contract just ran out, and a discount. Verizon discount comes off the 2year contract price, and so you pay less than others starting a new contract. Sprint just makes the normal 2year contract discount $150 less than it really is, but then adds in your $150 upgrade discount; so the 2year contract price comes out to be the same. How ridiculous!!
When I left Verizon for Sprint 2 years ago I was excited that their 2year discount was more than Verizon's.. Just recently found out that I was wrong though, and you get NO 2year discount from Sprint in actuality.... If Sprint didn't have unlimited data, cheaper monthly plans, and carry better phones, then I might go back to Verizon. And sadly, as of lately Sprint is the best at getting in phones, AT&T seems to be getting the best devices for the last 6 months or so... AT&T coverage is a joke in my area, and I'd probably pay twice as much as I do with Sprint every month, or they would be my current choice of carrier.....

Cancelling Verizon without etf

I really want to buy a nexus 4 and use T-Mobile prepaid service however i am currently locked into a contract until dec2013. My current options is to pay a $200 etf and sell my current galaxy nexus, however i would prefer to press my luck trying to not pay an etf. Has anyone had any luck doing so lately? I know about 10 years ago i cancelled att because i moved and didn't have any coverage at my new house and my cell phone is my primary phone. Just wanted to get some opinions, thanks!

I don't think you can get out of a etf should you decide to cancel your service. Its just a matter of whether you don't mind owing Verizon and just go ahead and get T-Mobile.

Pretty sure the only ways to not pay an etf on most carriers are:
- moving to an area of no coverage
- death (seriously)
- military deployment
& I am not sure of the others. & all of those, you need to provide paperwork/proof.
Good luck. I am currently wishing I could get out of my T-Mobile contract.

Another option would be to use an "excessive" amount of data in a roaming area. This appears to have worked for a Sprint user.

I did the same thing last month. they hit me with the etf but the way i look at it was that i was spending over $100 a month on my GNex with verizon, so etf was equal to two months of service with verizon. So i just swallowed it and paid the amount. you'll break even in about 3 months instead of waiting for Dec. VZW has you by your b***s.....

The monthly savings will compensate for your etf in 3 months but if you have an Unlimited data contract you can do a transfer of liability on that line. I just did this and sold my Unlimited line for $125( on HowardForums.com) and then there is no ETF, but you will lose your phone number. Is your phone number worth $325(selling of line + etf), to me it was.

Verizon's ETF is $350 minus $10 for every month you've paid into your contract and they will not let you out of it. If you do port the number early do it at the end of your billing period as Verizon will continue to bill you through the end of the cycle. I had to call them and get them to refund me 3 weeks that I didn't have service with them that they still automatically billed me for. They claimed they don't know when the port actually goes through so they continue to bill you just in case you change your mind.

join solavei! only $49 unlimited a month no contract and from the money you'll be saving monthly you'll break even in a month or two

There isn't a loophole to get out of an etf right now.

Don't have to lose your number, you could have ported the number over to google voice (or any other carrier) and just told verizon to provision you a new number on that line.

If you transfer responsibility of your line to someone else you don't pay an ETF.

You might be better off posting this in the Sprint section or maybe even the Verizon section. I do not know why a Nexus owner would ever want to go to the Verizon if you know what I mean.
I got out ETF free from Verizon a couple of months ago because I got bad service by my house and I am loving that I can now purchase a Nexus from the play store and use it on a pre-paid plan with no contracts or ETF's.

You can get someone to take over your contract. What worked for me was I paid someone $100 to take over my contract with Rogers and i still kept my SGS3(which I sold to buy a N4) which was better than paying $500 to cancel

The easiest way to get out of the contract is to make the carrier cancel it for you. "How do you make the carrier cancel the contract?" you ask...simple...roam.
Even though you probably have unlimited roaming on your plan, the carrier has a threshold that they really don't want you to cross because it costs them money when you use another carrier's towers. If you keep crossing that threshold the carrier will basically kick you off their network, effectively cancelling your contract.

Best Buy Pricematching AT&T $150 For GN3

I actually did this 2 weeks ago in Daly City, CA. All I did was tell them that ATT is current offering 50% off smart phones which is still in their website. If you click on the deal link, you will see the GN3 is there. However, I believe it's only for phones < $200. But the manager knew about the deal and price matched without any resistance.
I did this again in Austin, TX last week for my dad. This time the manager is being more resistant. He said it's $250 on their website not $150. I then told him you have to complete the check out process for the promotion to show up. Luckily, one of his employees confirmed that. You might even be able to get it for $125 since it's $250 with 2 year contract on the ATT website.
Good luck.

If this doesn't work, order the phone through ATT retention Dept. I got mine for $199 plus tax next day and $30 off messaging for 6 months and $100 (credit?) back after 40 days for renewing my contract. YMMV, but just keep on calling until they give you what you want. Took me 3 tries.

How did you get that deal? All they offer me is 100 credit and phone full price. My girlfriend would be upgrading to new iphone and signing a 2 yr contract. We would be on a family plan and she would add me on with the note 3. How do I reach retentions? I called yesterday and said cancel but idk if that was retentions. They made a note on my account about the credits. I want to call back and at least get both phones for 200. Any advice how I go about this? The rep noted my account for the 2 100 credits after 30 and 45 days

Too bad BB doesn't go back 30 days like Sears (or like Sears used to, anyway). It would be nice to walk in with 2 phones and walk out with 2 phones and a check (or even store credit).

What are you guys telling retentions to get this? I've called and never gotten any kind of deal like that...

What are you guys telling retentions to get this? I've called and never gotten any kind of deal like that...
Are you eligible for an upgrade? I got the same offer. $100 credit after 30 days, $25 off any phone and waived activation fees.
I dialed 611 and choosed cancel service. Told the guy I wanted to cancel my line. Of course they always say sorry to hear that and would like to know why. I told him I found a better deal for the phone I wanted from another carrier. At the time Amazon was selling the note 3 for $124.99 with a new activation. What a great price huh but I've no intention of switching to sprint even if the phone was free. Terrible service where I live. I don't know if he bothered to look it up or not but a minute later I got the offer.
So I'm still not sure if I want buy the phone yet. I've been checking this forum to see if it's going to be worth it. As soon as safe strap arrive then I'll probably pull the trigger.
Oh and I've confirmed that you can still get the credit even if you don't order from At&t. I asked him to note that on my account. So basically I can get the note 3 from amazon for $199.99 minus the $100 credit.

i called att on black friday (just like last year when i got my 2 s3 for $.01 each) and requested an upgrade. the rep on the phone told me i was unable to upgrade at the 1 year point and had to wait for another year till my contract expired. i told her i was able to upgrade the year before with no problems and the rep told me their policies had changed and the only way i could upgrade was to switch to the next program (not happening). so i told her if i had to wait till next year that i would cancel my service and go else where. she asked what phones i wanted and i told her i wanted the s4 for the wife and i was on the fence about the lg g2 and the note 3. she put me on hold and came back saying they would allow me to upgrade early and they would give me the s4 for $49 and the note 3 for $99. so after taxes and everything (free overnight shipping, no activation fees) i paid $165 for an s4 and note 3. then my little victory came crashing down after i logged in here to find i was getting a locked bootloader

Holy crap, maybe the deal of the centry possibly? :victory:

^^^awsome deal, wish I got that.
Sorry for the late reply, but for those of you that couldn't get it, just call again, it took me 3 calls. I just told them that I need to lower my monthly bill and I want the phone for $199. Didn't need to beat around the bush for me, straight to the point. And one of my lines was due for an upgrade.
Just got to be persistent. Good luck
FYI, Amazon has the phone for $199 with upgrade. Maybe mention that if you want. But it shouldn't matter

Just letting you all know, Best Buy currently has the Note 3 for $149 for new lines, as well as the S4 for free (the promotion is for $50 off of the current sale price, so the Note 3 is listed at $199 and the S4 is 49.99). No haggling or price matching required. I set up a new Mobile Share plan on AT&T, ported over from Verizon, and got a Note 3 and S4 on contract for $160 out the door.

Just to be clear this is for new customers only?
Never made sense to me why people are promised the Moon until they are loyal customers...
I'd like my wife's note to actually be opened before the price drops from 300.... but if I can return it and rewrap it and pocket 100 more for Christmas that's okay too.

I currently have verizon galaxy nexus with unlimited data hooked up to my friends line for $50/month. contract ends in 2 weeks.
I have 6 lines with ATT for my family 10gb share and they only use like 4gb a month so if I join them for $30/month then I will be good for 5-6gb/month. I never went over 3gb/month with verizon all this time that I had UNLIMITED data. I really wanted to keep unlimited data with verizon and get the Note3 with them and pay $50/month with them but verizon won't let me keep the unlimited. the way around is I open a line with verizon and make a switch of phones and put dumb for the new opend line and pay $10/month then I will be paying $60/month to stay with Verizon to keep the unlimited data vs. $30/month with ATT with about 5-6gb/month.
I am debating but I know that I should go with ATT and save hundreds of $$ for next 2 years.
So Please help me and guide me to get some good deal like you :fingers-crossed:

They will only give you a $120 for your Note 3 from AT&T. Hardly a fair trade if you are only a year into your existing AT&T contract and would owe the reaming EFT. That would cost me $400 out of pocket to switch.

Eligibility requirements from t-mobile site
What are your eligibility requirements?
In order to qualify for this ETF offer, you must be switching from a postpaid plan with AT&T, Sprint or Verizon and port your current numbers to T-Mobile. You would need to trade-in a working mobile phone or tablet and purchase a new device with T-Mobile on a qualifying postpaid Simple Choice plan (you would not be able to sign up for a T-Mobile prepaid or Simple Choice Family Plan with no credit check). All lines must be activated in the same T-Mobile market with the same billing address and area code.

John Legere is brilliant. He offloaded the liability of subsidizing devices and carrying them on the balance sheet to his customers and with great theatrics convinced them his way was "better." This is kind of old but I'm sure the ratios are still valid. Over a two year span T-Mobile's cheaper than AT&T but not by as much as their fan-base wants to believe. And having to pay off a zero interest loan early if you want to leave T-Mobile without a contract is no better financially than AT&T's ETF.
I'm with the others above. I travel across the country and got tired of spinning the wheel every time I got off a plane or drove across a town I was visiting as to what kind of T-Mobile coverage and consistency I'd get for both voice and data. I pay more for AT&T and while I'm not a fan of any wireless carrier AT&T's the best of a bad lot. So T-Mobile fans keep rallying around John Legere and his "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" theatrics. At the end of the day value is determined by what you pay for what you get. With AT&T, especially taking in to account the new Mobile Share Value Plans (thanks John), I'm getting what I deem fair value and as decent a wireless product as is available in the U.S.

T-mobile is $70 unlimited everything ($1,680). $708 for the note 3 ($29.5 for 24 months).
I pay $120 + taxes each month for my wife and I with the 200 mb 700 minute plan plus the $500 dollars for the phone. The coverage map was the same in the Atlanta area so that's not gonna be problem for me.
Also, I can sell both phones for like $1,000 so this is a no-brainer for me.

Oh, if this the Wrong place for this sorry.
The lack of updates to the note 3 and the looking down on the note 3 that prevents me from taking it elsewhere without hassles.
I pay $150/mo for "America's best network" that drops to 3g if I go into any buildings in Las Vegas on the strip.
So is this tracking bull enough to cancel a contract early? Honestly I want to just go to. T-Mobile for their cheaper plans with no contract and just be done with this crazy bill and crap service.
My contract ends in August. I'm. Perpetually under employed and the contract I'm on for share everything started when I had my old. Job paying my bill every month.
Any ideas?

Just go ahead and switch to T-Mobile. They will pay your etf.

If I trade my note 3, for a whopping $175 yes indeed, they'll pay the etf.
At this point without wonderful credit, T-Mobile wants me to pay half of any device up front so the $175 goes towards a T-Mobile device, of which the top end require me to have $300 up front.
So yes. They will pay the $150 etf and $175 device credit but that is a total of $325 and I'd like to imagine my note 3 as worth more on eBay.
Maybe just wait till the note 4. I like the oneplus but like the s-pen more.
