Anyone know if this will be wavied. I talked to my local shack (love saying that) and they said it is $35 and comes down from sprint so they can't waive it. I know wirefly will only charge 19. So its 20 more plus tax and twice the activation fee I'm beginning to regret that shack preorder

Sprint charges the activation/upgrade fee, not radioshack. It should just be billed to your account. For upgrades, I think it's $18 and new activations are $35.
I know if you are a AAA member at the Sprint store they'll wave the activation fees.
i get a corporate discount so you think i can get it waived at the shack
I just called because my 125 port in credit never got confirmed... And they also waived the activation fee for me

I have just told them I don't want to pay an activation fee. Am re-upping that enough of an activation. So they always waive it.

Yeah, it all depend on who you talk to at Sprint. I tried *2 and a chat to get the fee's removed since my corporate discount is supposed to have free activations, and all I got was "it's a valid fee". I called the number listed in the thread here with people getting their upgrades reset, and the lady did it with no problems for both of my lines.
How much is activation anyways? Can we do it at best buy or does it have to be done over the phone?
its is done at the store they wont let you leave with out activating and it is 18

Well i left verison invjune to give sprints service a try and i can say....BAD FRICKIN MOVE. I was with Big Red 10yrs prior to my leave. Now im lookin to come back. What is the cheapest you guys have scene the t bolt for on a 1 yr plan....and are they still offering it? I did see a few posts for $250 with an employer discount. When i was with verizon i did recieve that on my monthly bill. Now is this deal still available to new verizon members and does it count towards a discount on the purchase of the phone?
I found a link where Verizon was selling it to select people for 150.00. Call and see if they are still offering it...

i got mine for $229 for a one year contract through my employee discount. the verizon rep i was working with was pretty surprised that i was offered such a good deal, she thought by default that employee discount prices offered online were not available in store. so my answer will have to be....it depends. if you have a good employee discount you may be able to get the phone for cheap like me but if not you may have to pay full price.
one piece of advice i can give is push on the verizon rep and ask them to ring the tbolt up to check for a discount, even if they think that they cannot offer it to you. my rep was surprised to see the discount price offered in store, so maybe you can surprise your verizon reps too.
Got mine online for $229/1yr with corporate discount
Thank you gentlemen.
$175 at Amazon.com, but i think that's with 2 year.
bought mine from amazon for 179. heck of a deal!

I don't know but if they tell you there's a $50 rebate, don't buy it. I ordered it though VZW customer service on the phone, and the guy said "Oh yeah, it's $250 and there's a $50 mail in rebate!"
I got the phone, there's no rebate form or anything. So I called in, spoke to the rebate department... no one knows anything about this mysterious $50 rebate.
seems like the cheapest i can find it on a 1yr agreement is $320 . My company does offer discounts on accessories and monthly bill but calling verizon and visiting stores they won't give me a discount on the phone itself.
anyone else no where to get it cheaper on a 1 yr plan for new customers?
Corporate/employee pricing is the best I've seen so far (outside of a few select regional specials). Here are the corporate prices if you have a corporate login to VZW's website...
$199 :: 2-year contract
$229 :: 1-year contract
word.
corporate as in working there? I don't work there but wonder if i know someone that does if they could get me that.
Did u try hard? I went to 4 different stores and the 4th one gives me 179 for 2 years or 250 for 1. No rebate or any of that crap. Like I said, shop around

Thanks i will try 2 others that i know off.
I've seen a couple on Craigslist for 325$ Not to shabby.
So the Service Credit for switching to Sprint says it ends on 6/23. AND the Evo 3D of course comes out on the 24th. I will be coming from TMO and wanted to get this credit.
Could/Should I just get switched on the 23rd or sooner and just get like an Evo or similar phone and also buy the $50 dollar reserve for the Evo 3d. Then on the 24th switch my phone to the Evo 3D and return the other phone?
Yea as long as you keep the number your porting active for 61 days...
I'm also doing this with two port in numbers from tmobile. So make sure if you start the contract or service at a sprint store you preorder it there....
Or go to radio shack start service and pre order there
Same with best buy....
DO NOT go to sprint to set up service and then pre order from a radio shack or best buy... Pick one of the three and do all of it their or you will lose the port in credit

So you won't have to pay the restocking fee if you are a new customer. Are you sure about that? And I also have another question, if you do this will you lose yourpreoder spot because I saw someone post that you would lose your preorder sport?

Not sure about losing your preorder spot but for new customers, there are no restocking fees. Otherwise it's $35/phone.

So tell your wife that would be a worst case scenario just like my att ends the 27th of June and well If I have to cancel early that costs $60 (Im still working on it being free) but I still save money.
I read a rumor that the $36 activation fee can be waved if you provide Sprint with your AAA card. Anyone done this?
does anyone know of any other way to avoid this "tax"?
I just pre-ordered the EVO LTE and will supposedly be charged the fee upon activation. Do I need to go into a Sprint store and show them my AAA card? Can I do this over the phone? Does it even work?
Thanks.
Idk about AAA. But I am going to try to get the fee waived upon activation by saying I stuck with my sprint order even though I could have got it cheaper through wirefly.
We will see.

Maybe another representative will yield better results.

I'll have to try this when my phone comes in and I activate it.

Just and FYI since I said I would report back. I called Sprint and I asked about my activation fee and he initially said that I would have to pay it. I explained that I ordered through sprint even though I could have gotten the phone much cheaper through a 3rd party and I would appreciate it if they would wave the fee to help offset the cost difference. He put me on hold for 1 minute came back and said the activation fee has been waved.
Maybe this route can help some who ordered through Sprint.
To clarify about the AAA activation fee waiving:
You MUST have the AAA discount as your account's discount in order to use this. In other words, if you have an employer discount you use to get 15% off your bill every month, then THAT discount plan must include the fee waiver to get the waiver. You couldn't just flash your AAA card and get it.
So, if you have the AAA as your discount, you will receive 10% monthly off your bill, and waived activation fees. But you cannot mix and match, sadly. I talked to Sprint about this yesterday. Kind of disappointed... I don't want to pay $36 for no reason.

Guess I need to try this route as well. Knowing my luck, I'll get a 'no' person.
It wont hurt to ask when you call to activate it. The worst that could happen is they tell you no and charge you. The best is they wave the fee. I went with 119.00 on wirefly so I can't use the " went with Sprint" argument. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

we shall see if my txt chat skills are up to this challenge once this "ESN storage fee" hits my bill.
If I lose I may ask them to explain how activating my phone costs them money, seems like they ESN goes into the system then blam that is all, once the ESN is in the system I can deactvate and active a month later without a fee, just curious if they have a legitimate reason for the fee,

What if a person with a sero plan (gets free activation) activates your phone on their line, then takes it off.
Now that you're phone's ESN is in their system, you'd be able to switch back to your own phone at no charge (avoiding the activation fee)
You could also call top tier CS. I called the regular CS line earlier today and was denied even after telling them I would just cancel and go to Best Buy he brought a manager on the manager said "we can't waive it so I suggest purchasing it at Best Buy"(Wow really). Called Top Tier CS and with no hassle the lady said she will waive the activation fee and follow up next week to make sure it wasn't added and if I have issues to call back and reference call today.

Thanks for the posting. I too called customer service and got the nope-nope-nope line. I don't understand how Amazon can get the activation waived, yet the person at Sprint today told me it is impossible. Every upgrade requries the $36 fee. I got a tough cookie on my first try.
I never have good luck. Should have waited for Amazon to list the phone. What happened to the days where everybody had the same price on launch day (maybe a $10 difference).

Amazon looks like the same link to "free activation" as Wirefly and others...it appears to only be good on NEW LINE activations. Anybody confirm this is not the case?

To answer your question the AAA membership will NOT waive upgrade fees, but It will waive the Activation fees. Meaning, if you are signing up with Sprint AAA will waive the fee but if you are a current Sprint customer, upgrading to a new device, unfortunately it will not waive the fee. That said, the AAA discount must be active on the account prior to you coming into the store for an upgrade or AT the time of purchase when signing up with Sprint. It will also save you 10% a month and like someone else has previously stated, you cannot mix discount so if you already have a discount the AAA will not apply.
For some slightly better news, if you go with the Credit Union membership discount, that WILL waive ALL fees, activation AND upgrade fees. It will also save you 10% a month. You just need to be a part of ANY credit union, BECU, Alaksa ect...

You are correct. If you are upgrading an existing line on Amazon you will still be charged the $36.00.
I know this because I called Sprint today. Tried to get them to waive activation fee, they would not again, but I was able to get them to cancel my preorder. So I ordered from Amazon instead (always been a fan w/ no hassle). Still saving $64.00 ($50 on phone & $16 on tax).
I just saw the $30 upgrade fee on my bill for upgrading to the Inc4G. Since it's a BS charge, I figured I'd try to get it credited back. I upgraded at Best Buy, so I told the VZ rep that BB never mentioned an upgrade fee and that they just charged me for the phone. VZ said it didn't matter, and while BB should have told me, it's not a BB charge, so no matter how I upgraded, I would've been charged the $30 fee anyway.
I told the VZ rep that that was not acceptable. When I asked what the upgrade fee was for, as in "where does that $30 go? What do I get for that $30?", he couldn't give me an answer. "It's just a new policy", he said. So I asked, "So it sounds like I'm paying $30 for the privilege to remain a VZ customer, is that right?" Again, I got the "policy" line. He insisted that he could not refund the fee. So I asked him what he could do... he put me on hold for about 2 minutes and said that he could credit me 1 month of my unlimited data, which equals the $30 of the upgrade fee. So he did.
Success.
tldr:
Don't let VZ get away with that BS upgrade fee. Complain and get something credited. It's a garbage fee.
Nicely done sir!

I "exchanged" a Nexus for the Inc4, within the 14 day window, and they charged me an upgrade fee as well (I couldn't really understand their logic the way they explained it). They said there was no way that they couldn't charge it -- the system wouldn't let them take it off. I *****ed to the manager at the store (threatened to take the Nexus back...after they did all the paperwork... )and he credited me the $30 as well. I think you just have to be persistent, and not loose your temper. Good job! Let's all get some recovery!
yay!! you gotta use unlimited data more than $30 worth!!!! :good:
But for me, I don't know if I wanna argue them and get the unlimited data because I already have one.. :/ I wish they could just refund!

you're lucky you didn't get hit with the $35 restocking fee.
I had to pay the $30 upgrade fee AND the $35 restocking fee.
Maybe I'll try to argue one of those but I think it will be tough to get both.
I think the $35 has some justification I guess because they had to pay for fedex to pickup my GS3 and for fedex to delivery me a inc4g. Lets say verizon gets 50% off fedex retail rates, thats about $10 each way ($20 total) plus they need a guy to open the box and look at it.

Nobody knows dude. It isn't coming out until a week after BF. Doubtful there will be any deals on this initially, maybe towards Xmas time or some promo at a few stores for gift cards. It isn't going to be released and then have an instant $100 off. You are pretty much stuck paying the cost as is.

You can weasel out of the activation fee if you go to the store. Just tell the rep you will buy from him/her if you waive the activation fee. (The reps make commission off of sells.) He/she will ask the manager for the ok and you should be good to go then. Feel free to mention that you are coming from Sprint and signing a new contract. If they give you crap, just pretend like you changed your mind and want to stick with sprint. If you handle it right, you will never have to pay for an activation fee.
I honestly doubt Verizon or Best Buy will go any cheaper on the device itself.

It has been really hard for me to get them to waive the activation fee. Tried to do it with iP4 and my sister's iP4S. Didn't work, went to 2 different stores/called in and tried to order it. Maybe it was just my luck..
I think you can get the activation waived if you go to a third party reseller, though.
I think if you get the phone at Best Buy where they don't charge an activation fee it'll show up on your first bill.

Yessir.
I didn't threaten my business. Maybe I will try that. Iheard the best way is to walk out saying you'll go to another sales rep, though since they aer commissioned based. Although it seems this may not matter as much, as they have lowered their commission by quite a lot for their employees to they might just be like F it, let him go to a dif store. I don't think there is any way in hell this will happen online or via phone though. I tried it before with absolutely no luck. They do not seem to budge at all.

I asked if there was an offer next week for the note ii could I come in and preorder it and get the deal they are offering that day. They said no, the sale counts as the preorder date. I used to work in a retail store that had this exact policy as well, so it is doubtful you can get any deals anywhere at this point.
Yeah it sucks. Best Buy had a %20 off black friday coupon that we couldn't use on pre orders. Would have gotten it at $263
If anyone's interested, I think Wirefly is selling it for $280....at least for my zip code.

Not sure if they can waive activation, but if they can and do, I'll go with them.

Looking to buy this phone ASAP. My sprint contract is not up, but I will be cancelling and gladly paying them to get to a real LTE network. Anyone know of the best deal now or around Black Friday? I don't want to pay $299, and then activation fee, and then ETF fee, but i guess if i absolutely have to, I will.

I found the best way to do it via Best Buy via their $50 gift card offer they had months ago. You just had to register with it letting them know that if you upgraded you could use the $50 gift card towards it. Also a rep MIGHT be willing to wave their crappy fees in the promise you will buy accessories from them as I believe that still helps credit their sales scores for the month.
