Hey everyone, so i'm currently on the sprint sero plan with the HTC TP2. I'm switcing over to the sero premium to get the HTC EVO 3d. I went into the sprint store to pre-order a phone and the rep told me i had to call a certain number to get my phone since i'm sero, however when i called the number they said i'll have to wait till release date, can't pre-order.
Was the sprint rep wrong, or is there something i can do to remedy this??
Also, there's no way me getting around the paying the full 500$, is there?
gah ....
you can pre order in store no problem. not sure why they would say otherwise.
you cannot pre order through telesales unfortunately. i wish they would change that.
as far as pricing goes it depends on your upgrade status.
amazon has them for $469 contract free.
I need to know if I can upgrade my sero premium with best buy... I'm the first pre-order on the list... I get mixed answers... any ideas? Questions? Concerns? Comments?

You have to find someone willing to do it for you.
Sero is supposed to be done @ sprint.
WireFly will pre-order it for you while you're on SERO. Just ordered mine. $179.99

Have you done this before?
Wirefly has posted that they do not do sero.
I've never ordered from WireFly, but I sat on the phone with them and placed the order. I got an order confirmation and everything...
Hmmmm... let's hope you get it with no complications.. usually when I tried upgrading online or phone order I would get a "problem with your order" email... let us know the outcome please..

I'll definitely keep ya'll posted... Did you do yours from the website, or call?
Did mine through the website a year ago before they had the mandatory plan change, I checked earlier yesterday. I also tried radioshack as well and had the same results.. seems you have to pick a plan after picking your phone when upgrading now... here is some of the mixed reviews from sero plan upgrade attempts... that is if you guys have time to read it. http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=213519

just buy from sprint, you can still preorder it from there. They have to switch you from sero to sero P

but the OP was asking about how to go from sero to sero P; you can get your upgrade discount by switching from sero to seroP at sprint stores. Couple that with your 150 discount if you are up for it and it wont be too bad to get your 3vo3d
Or you can call 8886037981 to switch to and from any sero plan... my fault... should I create another thread to touch up on my question? I'm not tryin to troll or steal your thread... just trying to see if my pre order was placed for nothing.

thanks for that number... I have to upgrade my fiance's line from Sero to Sero premium so she can take my Evo. Ill try calling it this afternoon/evening and will post results.
So I have a friend who is in the employee referral program. So just to be clear, she can add a line to her account at a Sprint store if she has this plan?
I thought it could only be by phone but if not, I will tell her to pre-order at the store.
Thanks!

I don't see why not... take the number I posted with you in case they give you a hard time... its a direct number to the virginia sprint employee accounts call center. I know it's with the sero plan for sure.

This is what I plan on doing, hope it works...
Call the number posted above to switch from Sero to Sero P. Then go to wirefly to buy the phone and select the "no plan change" option.
Just as an FYI, it didn't work. I am already on SERO P because I have a HeroC. I pre-ordered my EVO3D last night with WireFly, and they said everything went through, but I got an email this morning saying the order was canceled. It also said to call 800-SPRINT1 to "complete" the order. I called and got telesales, and they told me they can't pre-order the phone there, I would have to go into a Sprint Store and pre-order it. They also said that it probably canceled because I didn't have the additional $10 Premium Data add-on for 4G (although the person I spoke to at WireFly told me they were adding it to my plan for me).
So, looks like I'll be heading up to the Sprint Store in front of the Mall at Millenia after work to pre-order my phone there at full price. If you pre-order in store, you HAVE to buy a $50 Sprint GC, then use it towards the purchase of the $200 for the phone. Weird...
Couldn't you just call Sprint and have them add the $10 fee and then order from wirefly?

I just wanted to find out what do you guys think about it. Since the verizon is the most expensive carrier out here and they sell most expensive phone. Since they have all the cards in their hand. Most reliable 3G and biggest 4G, best phones and good customer service. Do you think it can impact people on how they upgrade or they will switch companies because of this fee?

Who would they switch to? Doesn't AT&T and Sprint have a slightly higher upgrade fee?
Either way, I think it's crap. Like the others I'll probably tweet and email them angrily about it, but I like their service too much to jump ship. Still, with how expensive the phones are already, it's crap.

That makes sense but no company is selling their phones for $300.
I guess we have to start a petition. If that does not work we just have to deal with that.

So out of interest, in the US on Verizon you have to pay $300 for a phone, plus a monthly fee of what $30 for your minutes, texts and data for two years? Is that right?

The monthly fee starts at $40 for 450 minutes + $30 for data (4GB for LTE).
Then you can add text messages or more data.
Blimey! I hope the UK operators don't start charging that much when we get 4g.
I got a free unlocked razr, 300 minutes, unlimited messages and data and it just costs equivalent to $45 per month on a 2 year contact.
No extra charges, connection fees. It seems like you guys really get screwed, I feel sorry for you.

I have two grandfathered Unlimited Data lines on my account that are on two Razr's and I pay around $219.00 USD a month But VZW IMHO is the best out there and every one of my family members from where I grew up are on it. Plus VZW has the best coverage for me where I travel/live. But sheesh it's expensive.
Cant tell whats more expensive, my Verizon or Comcast bill.

Sorry was just reading more.
This fee will help us continue to provide customers with the level of service and support they have come to expect which includes Wireless Workshops, online educational tools, and consultations with experts who provide advice and guidance on devices that are more sophisticated than ever.
Oh and they offer a trade in program. Yeah they wanna give you $50 for a phone they still sell retail for $649 or contract of $299.
They dont know their head from their ass most times. I think they have so many call centers so the person that said they were going to help you cant be reached. You know how sometimes they say the call may be recorded, well I sure wish it would be too.

My bill is currently $60 for 700 minutes, $30 for unlimited data (grandfathered), and another $20 or $30 for unlimited texting.
And yeah, $300 for the Razr when I went in to renew my contract a few months ago.

I'm at $40 for 450 voice, $10 for 500 text, $30 for unlimited data. I get 25% discount from combination of business discount and longtime customer, making my bill $68 after tax monthly. Got my Rezound using Amazon Wireless for $150 shortly after it came out because of a special they were running.
Best part - even though I took the 2 year discount to get that price and had to select 4gb data, I'm still showing unlimited data plan. Must've been a glitch in the renewal process but I don't complain.

I have an Evo 3D on my plan right now and i bought the evo 4g lte full price.
Has anyone with an indirect sales maker plan , employee plan or third party employee plan been able to get this phone activated ?
If so i would be interested to find out how. Going through my companies rep is not possible for me at this time.
I tried online and it ask me to change my plan
i tried calling in but could not get to anyone who could do a simple ESN swap.
any suggestions.
Thank you.
Don't you have to call corporate for that?
via HTC EVO 4G LTE.
I did it call *2 from Ur current line it will take u to employee services which they must change the 10 dollar plan which is 4g to the ten dollar one for lte

Were you able to get it on your Sero/Emp Plan? Kinda curious. It was communicated that they wouldnt allow it on 3rd party/retailer plans for the first couple weeks, I lucked out since i have a regular consumer plan so i threw that bad boy right on my account at work
Sadly today I got rid of my beloved Note. before my trial period expired I made the decision to cut ties with it. not because it was a bad phone but because of 2 issues. 1) the high price of AT&T phone service and the lack of unlimited data plan. I came from sprint 13 days ago and could not stand looking at my data usage and my first bill scare me. so I returned back to Sprint with my new S3. Love the service on AT&T. I think is the best so far. but not at a cost AT&T want it. so,,, good bye Note!!! :crying::crying:. one more thing,,,,, THANK YOU ALL AT THE NOTE FORUM FOR YOUR SUPPORT AT ROOTING,UNROOTING AND ROM FLASHING YOU ARE THE BEST AT THIS COMMUNITY XDA-DEVELOPERS ROCK!!!!!!
understandable...hate to see you leave but it is pricey. I, too, pay about 45 dollars more a month for att but I couldnt stand sprints service in my area. the trade off for me is worth it for now. plus, i love my note. it IS the main reason I came to att. be cool man. youll be missed...
Me too men. The Note was the reason I switch to AT&T. But I'll be watching for the Note2!!!!

So far AT&T is the best network. I tryed Cingular,Sprint,AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon. Here the best in order in my opinion are AT&T and Sprint. I tried Verizon but lost Data connection at home!!! So after 2 days I canceled my contact.

I was told in NYC they are turning all the old payphones into wifi hotspots. I was wondering if there is any truth to that or if that already happened? If that is the case you would never need to have a data plan.
Certainly understand. I spent years w/Sprint (not always enjoyable) BUT switched to AT&T when I got the iPhone3g when it came out.
I'd love to try Sprint again...maybe they will get a Note.
HAVE FUN with the S3 (even though it is tiny).

I got a call from AT&T this morning. They offering me free iPhone 4s/32GB for free + 7.95 shipping charge to my bill. No other catches. No charge for activation or new line unless I chose to do so after I receive the phone. I was on the phone for 1/2 hour with the rep to make sure that there was no catches to it. Does any body that currently have the Enterprise account get the same call? If this is true ...sound like AT&T is in a hurry to get rid of IPhone. I am currently owned the Note.
Why would you get an iphone when you have the note? Lol

Lesson learned: never give out personal info unless you are the one calling the company, so you know it's the right number, or you're standing in the store.

You are corrected. The only way to prevent this is tell the person that call you to provide their name and their employee info so you can call back into ATT line and ask them to connect to that person.
