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.

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

What does credit class G1 mean?

Yea whats G1 , Thats what I am too. Financial Value of only 006 of 10 that dosen't sound good does it?

Hmmm...mine was 6 of 10 with g8 credit class. I spend about 200 a month on 4 lines. Why only 6? I'm hurt.

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.

7/10
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.

End to unlimited data with Verizon.

This is bad news for everyone as this will likely be the case with T-Mobile when AT&T completes the aquisition. I'm afraid Sprint will be next. No more Pandora Radio, navigation or other worry free data consumption. I hope there will be a strong consumer backlash. Almost no competition in the market now.

This really does suck!

What's the point of 4g. Everyone will be looking for Starbucks with WiFi. Now I have no choice but to stay with Sprint and lately I have not been happy with the slower data.

Whats going to happen is they are going to start charging people like $1000, these people will not pay and swap carriers. I've seen people blindsided with crazy high fees on limited data plans before.
BTW I refuse to put a plan on my tablet. Prices are crazy. I just do everything off wifi including caching GPS infomation.

Despite what they tell you and the corporate lingo in their statements (ie "We are committed to providing world class service to our customers, blah blah blah") the shareholders are all they care about. Consumers have no power in a market with no competition.

Not buying has a lot of power. Unfortunately majority of business users will not care. Although SB may fight if they get a crazy high bill. We did it once when someone racked up a huge bill surfing on his phone.

This will force everyone to use WiFi rather than their wireless carrier...

Glad I'm on sprint! But come on now, how greedy can you get?!?!?!? Companies find a way to make money and just run with it huh? This is definatly a bad idea!

I guess they want to protect their bandwidth without having to build out their network. Money invested in the network = smaller executive bonuses.

All I can say is "Highway Robbery" with those prices. I'm glad I'm in a contract, and switched when I did.

Why are they even enabling Netflix/Skype then when GB is actually released... This is a total Sham-wow

Sprint Marketing says otherwise......They arent going tier'd anytime soon...They may make you pay for it though (10 dollar premium data charge!)

How nice of them to include personal email at no extra charge. Oh thank you Verizon overlords! I will sing your praises!

i feel sorry for new subscribers. All this new media and cloud services and now capped data. terrible

Yeah our family will be forced to stay with Sprint now and continue renewing for unlimited data. The choices that a competitive market should provide are gone. Please FCC, do not approve the AT&T / T-Mobile merger.

If people already didn't try to use mainly wifi, they are now.

I feel for you guys. I lucked out with my unlimited data with alltel grandfathered to at&t.

I can't believe they would do that!

Behold the power of greed... though just to buck the system I may try to hook up an old 56k modem to my Eris (what CAN'T this little phone do!) and use that for my data needs... bulky, excessive, and completely insane... but if I can give the finger to the man I'll gladly go to radio shack for some parts!

Well don't know the American system but here in BE we always have been capped.
And the prices as it stands here are more insane.
We are free to use our provider and can switch anytime we wan't with any phone since we use SIM cards but for example a normal phone user can easily spend 30€or 42$ for a contract with allot of calling included but with only 250mb - 500mb traffic allowed.
You really need to do heavy research for Smartphone users as to who is the cheapest and gives the most.

10 dollar premium data fee IS for 4g???

i just got 2 new phones on amazon wireless. i thought yall would find this humorous...

As long as it is from reputable store (ie Best Buy, Walmart, Radioshack, Amazon, ect) you've not nothing to worry about regarding the ESN. Its only when you buy it from some guy on Craigslist or Ebay or something.

Yeah i know. But those reputable stores sell only new phones. Im okay buying used phone thats affordable. Its just that I have to risk when dealing in ebay/craiglists. If it was gsm, i wouldnt have to risk on getting a phone that wont activate. I think gsm phones worth more than cdma phones in ebay too.

Oh, I thought you meant "Sprint store" by official store.
You can check http://www.checkesnfree.com/ if you want. Or if you find somebody on craigslist you can have them meet you at a Sprint store and have them activate it before you give him your money.

CAUTION: The guy who wanted to buy my previous Epic used that website and it kept saying my ESN wasn't clean/clear. I offered to activate it at a Sprint store with him but he refused to travel half a mile (he's a Cricket ESN "repairman"). It was sold next day to a lady who activate it just fine.
Moral of the story is to always call Sprint or meet in store. The only concern after that is getting robbed and/or shanked D:
