[Q] Sprint contracts - HTC EVO 3D

The Evo was my first smartphone, prior to owning it I had 'dumbphones' on Sprint and upgraded every 2 years.
I got it 6 months ago.
If I wanted to get the 3D, do I simply buy it full price and extend my contract a further 2 years? Or do I have to terminate my Evo's contract and start a new one for the 3D?

no you just buy @ full price and keep your current contract.

If you buy the phone out right you just ride out your current contract

evo 3d non-upgrade!

Anyone here gonna get the E3D without the upgrade plan besides me? I used my upgrade in order to get my evo last year and i think imma just buy the E3D full price and sell my old evo. So that next year when the new awesome phone comes out i can upgrade for that!
Yes, yes I am - without hesitation.
So am I. I last used an upgrade for a palm pre in jan 2010. I went full price on my evo in June and I'm going full price again because my contact expires in november.
I think I am going to wait on this one. No doubt the EVO 3D will be an awesome phone, but I don't feel the need to go out and get one on launch day like I did with the EVO and the Palm Pre before that. I am still very happy with my original EVO even though the next generation of phones is starting to come out.

I'm pretty sure we can still upgrade after 1 year, the only difference being you get a $100 subsidy instead of $200.

x2, Evo is still running strong and it does everything I need it to. Plus I'm not about to pay 400-500 dollars for a new phone since I'm still under contract.
I used my upgrade last June when EVO came out, and I will become a silver premier effective 4/1, which is not eligible for a new line discount upgrade after 12-month service anymore (only premier gold can upgrade at a discounted price).
Just spoke with a Sprint rep, he said that I can change my plan to $89.99 before 6/1, which is my 12-month upgrade eligibility point, then I will become a gold premier automatically and get a discounted upgrade. Changing plan will not reset the 2-year agreement, so I can upgrade my EVO on 6/1 after changing the plan in May. Of course if EVO 3D comes out before 6/1, I'll be sad...
Edit: Correction - it looks like I need to stay with $89.99+ plan with at least 3 months, which means I need to change my plan now...
I thought u had to be on that for three months?

Yeah, I just saw that... that rep must have forgotten to mention that. darn it.
Well, the only way is to change the plan now, so that it becomes ~3 months by the time my 12-month point comes...
I'll just use my upgrade every year as I will have premier gold for being a 10yr sprint customer
My yearly upgrade (Premier Gold) is in Feb, and last year I used it (without thinking) on the Hero, then three months later the Evo comes out, and the Hero is old news.
I specifically bought my Evo used knowing that the new phones would be released this spring/summer.
So yeah, certainly going to use my upgrade this June.
Guys, here's a great hint: Use wirefly.com to buy it. You can get a full discount even when you're not eligible for an upgrade
The catch? They charge you a $200 ETF on top of Sprint's ETF. BUT, even with wirefly's own ETF, the phone would still cost less than full price.
Not worth it to have a second contract with wirefly.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yeah, looks like I'm either going to have to buy it outright, or use the $75 discount for one-year upgrades.
I just labeled an envelope titled Evo 3d. Assuming it drops in roughly 12 weeks, and that it will be about 500 bucks. That's 41 bucks a week in the envelope, and by june, ill be buying an Evo 3d.

sweet!! ......
If we change now to $89.99 plan to get the Premier Gold to get the 12 mo. upgrade, is there something stopping us from dropping the plan back down to $69.99 after the upgrade? I def don't need a bigger plan, I probably use less than 50 min a month with the free mobile to mobile.
I'm going to have to wait until it's released to employees.... If Sprint follows the same guidelines that they did for the original EVO, probably not until November or so.

Best method of upgrade for Current Evo Owners?

I need to start hearing some possible options since it looks like next month will be the release date.
I joined Sprint last year when the Evo released.
What would you guys do if you wanted the EVO 3D?
Thanks
Did you check your upgrade eligibility on https://manage.sprintpcs.com/specialoffers/RebateWelcome.do
Like you, I joined sprint last year on the launch day of the EVO4G at the $69.99 plan. This site says I am eligible for a full upgrade for the phone on my account. Interestingly enough it says at the bottom this program ends June 4th.

i have the same thing. I got the evo 4g at launch. up until april 1st the system said that I had a $150 credit avalible june 1st 2011. now it says I have a $75 credit june 1st and a full credit 4-1-12! All I did was call sprint telesales (they are the only ones that can do this) I very polity asked if I could have my upgrade back because I would like to get the evo 3D. they put me on hold, when they came back they said that I could get my upgrade back and that I needed to call on june first because that is when my account resets. She also said that she was making notes in my account to make this easy when I called back. i asked her to send me an email confirming this conversation. I got a email that had her specialist id# team name and date (dont think i need it but
I have had problem with sprint in the past)
So basically if you have a $75 credit right now you can call sprint telesales (888-253-1315) and ask for your $150 credit back. Mentioning the evo 3d may or may not help, but the rep did talk about the evo 3d for a second with me when I noted I wanted to get one.
Just got my upgrade back to $150..telesales didn't help me they routed my call to account services...all I did was act dumb about not knowing about the premier changes. I told him I had a full upgrade in March and all of a sudden my full upgrade was gone...so he went through all the details about the changes...and then reset my account thus giving me back my full upgrade oh yeah and made sure I got a email of the conversation

If I wanted it? I do. It will release next month. I will be absolutely flabbergasted if it doesn't come out on June 3rd (also my birthday). That would be a deviation from their tradition of releasing phones on fridays, big-deal phones on the first friday of june and also neglect to honor the Evo4G's anniversary(ish)...
The Evo really was a big deal for Sprint, just as the Evo3D is....does anyone remember Sprint's phone selection prior to the Evo4G? Quirky at best for dumbphones, random (crap) at best for smartphones....the hero or the moment or a BB....ick....and the hero--while a great phone--was a fluke.
So what am I doing? I will be trading in my Evo4G for $180 at Radioshack, I called Sprint and got my upgrade turned back into full (from $75) and I reserved a phone at Radioshack...so I will most likely be walking into Radioshack at 5am on June 3rd and likely walking out at 5:30am on with $25 in my left hand and the best smartphone to date in my right hand--as I was told (when I posed this exact question) by the RS sales rep who agreed, whose manager agreed and whose district manager agreed that they would all be shocked if it didn't come out on June 3rd....none of us know better, it just fits a pattern...and for the Evo a new tradition.
That's what I'd do.
if ur like me, i need an upgrade every yr
all u have to do is stick with a plan tht is $89.99 and up to become a gold member and receive a yrly upgrade. Next yr the Evo 3D will be a dinosaur and so I rather be a gold member than have to upgrade evey 2 yrs. I lost my upgrade in feb with the new changes but got it back cuz they made a mistake and put me as a silver member. I've been on the everything plan for months and tht qualifies me to be a gold member. i since changed my plan to the everything data 900 $89.99...if i go any less than tht then i'll be a silver member again! no waaaay!
before the evo phone came out, The touch pro 2 was a great phone but wasnt an android phone but the screen was big.

If you plan on upgrading every year then it should pay to go with the higher plan as it should run less then purchasing a new phone at full retail once a year.
Luckily I have been with Sprint over 10 years so I qualify for gold otherwise I would never be able to convince my wife to spend more money on our cell phone bill.
Being able to deal with Sprint for over 10 years, I totally feel like I deserve the yearly upgrade! I have been on the phone for countless number of hours over the years with some of the worst customer service on the planet and had some of the most stressful phone calls with them.
As a long time customer, I must say they customer service has improved more then words can describe from where it was back in the day......
I'm new to Sprint.. Got the original EVO on launch and was wondering, what if I canceled my account, pay the ETF, and open another account?
You guys are having a lot of luck resetting your credit to $150. I spoke to supervisors and a whole slew of reps without any luck.
I'm am going to do this:

Etf is only $120, I'll open a new acct, switch numbers, then cancel the old one and sell my evo 4g. In the end, it might turn out to be a free phone.

A simpler thing to do would just add a new line then cancel the old one. Why go through to trouble of opening a whole new account.
Wouldn't it be much easier/cheaper to sell our Evos on Ebay for around $250 then buy the Evo 3D from Sprint for $425 (Assuming the Evo 3D is $500 minus the $75 rebate)? This all varies depending on the price of the Evo 3D and how much you can sell your Evo in Ebay.

I totally agree.
I've been with them for 9 1/2 years, Oct 15 is my 10yr anniversary. I contacted [email protected] and they're supposed to be calling me back Monday. I'm going to see if they can change my upgrade back to 6/1 which is what it was before the premier policy change.

Just checked that page and same thing.
It says June 1st $75 and 4/1/12 $150.
I am a little confused though. I am one year into my 2 year commitment. If i were to use this "upgrade" from Sprint, Would I be adding 2 years making it a 3 year commitment.
Not sure I want to to commit that long. Any idea what the outright price of the phone will be? Noticed you could also trade in my Evo for $150 account credit.

The upgrade pricing is for signing a new 2yr contract which takes the place of your current contract so you would be on a new 2yr contract, not 3yr.
They have a bunch of different options when signing a new contract like if are premier silver and only a year into your contract you can sign a new 1yr and get $25 off a new phone, or a new 2 yr and get $75 off a new phone (which you will be eligible for on 6/1). After your contract expires (4/1/2012) and you are eligible for a full upgrade you can get $75 off with a new 1yr and $150 off with a new 2yr contract.
The problem is that new phones have discounts and rebates which you're only eligible for with a full upgrade. As with the EVO the phone was $550 I believe w/ $100 mail-in-rebate, $150 upgrade, and it's $200 purchase price that comes to $450. The other $100 was an instant rebate that sprint gives you and I'm almost positive that you only get that rebate with the full upgrade price. I'm even pretty sure you're not eligible for the mail-in-rebate so the difference between the 1yr and 2yr upgrades is really about $275 rather than just the difference between $75 and $150. Someone correct me if I am wrong but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

You would get the EVO 3d for the discounted price on the new line.
Now what can I do I have had the Evo since October and my upgrade was supposed to be this year but got it anyways the whole first month I exchanged it, all different problems. 3 times and now I have a white Evo with the same dust problems and light leak and a few dings on the top right any suggestions?
Sprint is starting to piss me off, they're trying to screw me out of my yearly upgrade and talking to customer service is a complete waste of time. Now I'm trying to post a question to sprints message board and this is the second night in a row it has gone down for maintenance at the very moment I try to post my question.... and now it's back up five minutes later.
Google 'customer service hall of shame' and you'll see Sprint's been number one for three or four years now.
/end rant
just had to get that off my chest

How to work over sprint?

Howbdo people do it? Meaning I see people getting new phones all the time and claim they pay for the discounted price (like an upgrade). How is they possible I want to upgrade but i dont have one coming for another year and a half and I don't want to pay full price for a phone. So how do people do it? Any ideas lol?

The only way is you have to buy out your ETF on your line. I payed out mine last week, $160 per line and bought two new EVO 4G LTE's from Sprints EVP program at upgrade price. Even if you don't have EVP it is the same thing, call in *2 and tell them you want to buy out your ETF so you can upgrade your phone.
I have two lines and I keep them on a rotation. My mom uses the other line and every other year her phone upgrades. Like wise on the years hers doesn't mine does.
I use both upgrades and I get a new phone every year handing down my old phone to her. If she doesn't like my phone, I buy her a cheaper one at full price...they cheap ones are only about $150 bux max for a refurbished one.
The first time I tried this, they had the policy that I had to switch numbers with her, but they have since gotten rid of that policy. Shhhh, don't tell anyone.

That's the way to do it. Wish I had people who didn't care about their upgrades. I would do the same thing. I have 3 line family plan. I got away with it on my wife's line with my evo 4g which kept me open for my ego 3d. I'm screwed now though because I got two iPhones last Christmas one for my wife and one for my daughter.

I didn't "Work them over" I took advantage of an offer they have to buy out the remaining 10 months of waiting on my upgrade.
Once you get to 1 year left it costs about $115.
Considering I was going to TRY to find a used EVOLTE for around 350 when it hit that price, I beat that out by a few bucks (115 +200)
I plan on waiting for my 1 year mark. My 3D has been restarting randomly about once or twice a week for some reason. I'm not rooted and I've restored the phone twice already. I plan on getting it replaced and then selling it. Whatever I make will be used to pay for ETF and hopefully some of the new phone. Gonna wait to see the SG3 and then decide what I want.
Worst case scenario: They just fix my 3D and I sell it with only enough to cover ETF.
Best case scenario: They replace my 3D with an Evo LTE muahahahha!

If you got a launch 3D, sprints etf was alot cheaper then, I think it was around 200 for an etf vs the 350 it is now, so in that respect you should consider when you bought it and see what's up
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Or, you can wait until the insurance companies offer the EVO LTE as a replacement device and get it for only $100...or even free. I know for the Evo 3D it happened relatively quick. I think in just 3-4 months after it's release.

That's exactly what I'm saying, if any changes have been made to your plan though they probably tried to tack on the new etf, sprint did that to me when I took my dad off my account. I had to call retention to get it back.
Tl;dr yes you should def get it for the cheaper rate

Save more with pre-order
Back in a bout february, Best Buy mobile held a promotion where you attached your email address to all lines that were available for upgrade in 2012. Later, when you upgrade, you get a $50 gift card which you can use towards the purchase. Additionally, they give another $50 for pre-ordering.
In short, I'm paying $100 for my EVO LTE, and using my sisters upgrade, (She can just wait till October or I'll give her my E3D, Its way better than the Optimus she's running on.

Correct.
Taken from the Sprint ETF Page:
If you've entered into a two-year contract after Sept. 9, 2011 and choose to terminate or cancel your service before your contract ends, you will be charged an early termination fee of up to $350/line for Advanced Devices & up to $200/line for all other devices. No early termination fee applies for cancellations in compliance with Sprint's Return Policy.
The early termination fee is prorated and is calculated by taking the months remaining on your Service Agreement times $20 for Advanced Devices, with a maximum of $350, and minimum of $100. For all other devices, the prorated ETF is calculated by taking the months remaining times $10 with a maximum of $200 and minimum of $50.
Use the charts below to calculate your exact early termination fee. If you are cancelling multiple lines on your account, calculate the remaining number of months on each line, locate the corresponding amounts and add them together to reach your total. If you entered into a contract prior to Sept. 9, 2011, use the other devices chart to calculate your exact early termination fee.
Also keep in mind you can usually sell your 1 year old Smart phone for $200-ish no contract if in mint shape. Mine are always in mint shape
So it generally will never cost more than $200 or so a year to stay current.
I passed my 3D on to my wife (which Sprint just replaced with a brand new one) and used her upgrade for the LTE.
So do you just call Sprint and tell them you wanna pay the ETF and go month to month off contract? I'm assuming that would allow you to upgrade for 2 more years at 199 for the Evo LTE.
I have the Best Buy buyback on my E3D, so I can essentially get the Evo LTE for free since they will give me about $240 in credit for it
good read here on it. I am very tempted, but I feel as if a functional sense 4.0 rom will be enough to hold onto the 3d for another year.

[Q] Asurion max claims

I just filed a claim for a replacement for my 3D. I made a claim somewhere around this time last year on my OG EVO for a broken charging port, and another around July 1st because I jumped in the pool with my new 3D in my pocket. It says you're allowed 2 claims per year and 2 claims per contract year in New York. I'm in New York. Since I have yearly upgrades and sign a new contract when i get my new phone, I was wondering if anyone knew if that was considered the start of the contract year. In other words, I claimed my OG EVO and I'm wondering if when I got the 3D a month or so later it started a new contract year so I was back to being allowed 2 claims.
The reason I ask is I'm getting the 4G LTE when it's released to retail and I've already done 2 claims on my 3D. I was trying to figure out if that would be set back to 0 when I get the new EVO.
The contract year starts on the day you signed your contract. The 2 per year rule starts on the day you made your first claim.

I don't even know why I was questioning it and posted this thread. That's probably the first benefit I've seen of living in NYS. Hopefully the new EVO will be available soon and I'll have 2 claims available again.
Find a store that bypasses assuron. I have had multiple replqcements two being actual upgrades because the replacements I got were bad. And never once paid a deductible. Just have to find the right store

[Q] Sprint Line Upgrade Question

Wondering if anyone has had this happen to them:
I have a family plan with 5 lines. All the lines are do up for 2 year upgrades. I went into BestBuy yesterday and upgraded my brothers line to the LTE for 60 with trade in. I checked sprint online and his contract was already showing updated with the contract detail locked in for 2 years.
I upgraded my line thru Walmart to the LTE about 2 weeks ago and my line is still showing with a $150 upgrade available. I checked through the Sprint online and through the automated line. Both say the same.
I am wondering if I can just go into BB and upgrade my line again and get another LTE...
Probably so. Same thing happened to me at best buy last year. I waited three months and it never showed the new contract locked in. I went to the sprint store a few months later and upgraded again with no issues.

Same thing happened to my wife at Wal-mart. The upgrade is still showing as available for her. I'll think she'll hold onto it for next year though, she likes being able to get a new phone every year HAHA

Thanks for the reply. Here is my situation. I bought through Walmart and paid 170 and we went to Best Buy for my brothers and got his for 60 with OG Evo trade in. I was going to return my LTE to Walmart and go to best buy to get the 60 dollar deal becuase I have an extra EVO with a broken charging port that has been laying there for a while with no use.
But when I saw the my upgrade is still available I think im just going into Best Buy to try to upgrade another on my line and just sell my EVO LTE on Craigslist or something. I dont want to risk returning and losing out on the upgrade...

Whatever your prerogative is man, go for it. I was tempted to do another upgrade on my wifes line and just sell the phone for cash, but alas, she wants to keep her upgrade for next year lol
It's gotta have something to do with the cahsiers doing the upgrades wrong. My wife and I both got our phones at Wal-mart, but mine shows the upgrade as used. Oh well
same thing happened to me through wal-mart. upgrade eligibility retained after buying at wal-mart. woot.
