No way!? Really?
I wish I had mod privileges
R.I.P hd2 hello Evo 3d
There is already a thread stating this crap, and yes it was common knowledge. The only reason I made the one for Radioshack was to inform people of the price change from the original flyer. Stop being a moron OP
OP...yeah that info's out....and yeah, ya gotta put up with ass****s like these guys...
retail overpriced. Amazon has it for 469 retail and no tax.
I pre-ordered the EVO 3D a couple of weeks ago at Best Buy. I will be buying it with a 2yr contract. I'm going from pre-pay t-mobile to Sprint. I was wondering, how can I get the Everything Plus plan? Can I get it at Best Buy or do I need to do something else.
Thank you in advance.

The plan they give you when you sign up at best buy is the plan you need for the evo 3d. It'll probably come out to about $70/month unless you have corporate discounts.
anyone notice it saying.....
4GB internal memory
Allows you to store media. Memory card slot supports microSD cards up to 32GB (card not included).

If everything plus is referring to the SERO-Premium plans, then no you cannot get these at Best Buy. You would have to buy it online, since once you are a customer you cannot change your plan to the SERO-P plan.
Also, if you have an affiliation with most universities or companies, chances are you can get a corporate discount that would make the plan just as, if not more, cost effective than SERO-P

everything plus?
according to their site they have the "Simply Everything" plan for 99.99 or the "Everything Data" which runs 69.99 for 450 land line minutes and 89.99 for 900 land line minutes. Add $10.00 data for the e3d plus if you are on a spending limit program its like another $5 (total guess, not sure but in that ballpark) and another $7 for phone insurance
in short, cheapest plan will total run you roughly $90 without any corporate, employee, student, or extraterrestrial discounts

Everything Plus is a 'friends of employees' plan that $59.99, but to get a smartphone you have to add $10, then im not sure if you still need to add another $10 for 4g or not but it doesnt end up saving you that much money.

My T-bolt was pre-ordered with wirefly shortly after midnight pst.
Anyone else go this route? I should have it Friday, fingers crossed!
Mine is as well, gotta love not having to pay state tax at best buy!
Funny thing, I didn't even know wirefly was preordering tonite. I just happened to return my giftcard from the preorder at bestbuy.
I hope you all used fatwallet to get an additional $25 cashback. There is a coupon for a Transcend 4GB MicroSD Card & Mini & Standard Adapters.
So instead of Besbuy and its $300, it is 175 from wirefly thanks to fatwallet. I actually didn't remember at first, so I had to cancel my first order and redo it with fatwallet.
I ordered as well, i hope the standard fedex shipping gets here before monday
I don't even see it on the site? Did they pull it off?
EDIT: NM, it suddenly appeared. If I do this pre order, it's not going to mess w/my plan, right? I've got that 69.99/month for 450 minutes, unlimited data and 5 friends/family.
We don't know VZW pricing yet, do we?
Hmmm.

By any chance is that $199 price to extend your contract for upgrades only or are they doing special promotional pricing for anyone who extends their contract?

What I'm afraid of is losing the $20 credit I get every month for the "special" plan that I'm on (that's the one that expired on 1/31 and was "only" available to special people). It's $59.99 (+) 29.99 (-) $20 = 69.98 for unlimited data, text, 450 minutes PLUS 5 friends and family (usually you only get that on 900+ minute plans). It wants me to add a plan to my cart and of course THAT plan isn't available. ~sigh~
I think I'm going to HAVE to get it from VZW so I can save the $30 w/my final NE2 discount. I wonder if VZW will have a $50 "visa" rebate to get the price down. I did the pre-order w/BB and have that $50 GC but they won't do the NE2 credit, I've asked several times. Coulda returned the BB card I guess, but I'll end up using it, I do shop there upon occasion :-D
Don't know if Wirefly has improved their activation process but I remember when the Incredible first came out, a bunch of people purchased from them because it was cheaper and they had issues with shipment, activation, and customer service. If I recall correctly there were people unable to activate their phones for almost a week. Just an fyi.......

After my switch to Sprint went very well this week, I wanted to share some advice with those who plan to switch. For those switching to Sprint for the EVO 3D, here's advice on how to get an excellent deal.
On June 23, the day before the EVO 3D releases, they have two deals expiring. The first offers a $125 credit to anyone who ports from another carrier to Sprint. The second gives an extra 300 minutes to anyone who gets the individual Everything Data 450 plan. That's 300 extra minutes every month for the lifetime of the plan, by the way. All this expires the day before the EVO 3D comes out because they don't want people using these deals on it.
Two solutions.
a) Go to a Sprint store, and tell them you want to preorder the EVO 3D but want to port your number over today and use a temporary phone until you can get an EVO 3D. Try to convince them, it's usually not hard with a good manager.
b) If you can't convince them, get a plan with an EVO 4G today, then return it on June 24 for the EVO 3D. There may be a $35 restocking fee, but you still get $90 off (and, if you got the Everything Data 450 plan, you get an extra 300 minutes every month for your plan's lifetime).
I went with A, and now I get unlimited data/texting/mobile-to-mobile with 750 mobile-to-landline minutes, all for $70 + tax per month. I'm on a Sanyo flip phone for two weeks, after which I get my EVO 3D.
Anyone else switching to Sprint?
I'm currently on tmobile thinking about doing this same thing. Only thing is my preorder is with Best Buy. I wonder and hoping, are they offer these discounts as well?
R.I.P hd2 hello Evo 3d
yeah thats what i did got unlimited data/texting and the 125 dollar credit and no fees to pay. just using my old phone till the new one comes in, cant wait
I have a pre-pay plan at T-mobile. Does that count?
was planning on doing the same thing. I was going to wait until a few days before the 24th release to do the switch like on the 21st-22nd. Just get the Nexus 4G which is $199 and then go back on the 24th and do the switch with your evo 3d preorder.
Have you heard anything else about a restocking fee? I thought there wasn't any fee at all?
Was hoping someone else did this first, they didn't say anything about switching the phones and messing up the $125 dollar credit? Also did you do it at a Sprint store, BB, RS?

I picked up an EVO 4G at best buy to tide me over until I get the 3D. I got the port credit and the 300 bonus minutes. Also, since I am a silver premier member at best buy I don't have to pay the re-stocking fee when I switch phones. I also got a mailer saying that Sprint is offering a $50 visa gift card for new acts. AAAND when I went to best buy they were doing some promo on double points for new smartphone acts.

I'm pretty sure that BestBuy can't give you the $125 credit. I went into the Sprint store last week and they said that the $125 credit is to combat with the deals that Bestbuy and other stores put out there.
Sounded like you could only get the credit directly from Sprint. I could be wrong though.

Corrections and things to consider:
-the Everything Data 450 plan + 300 bonus minute plan expires 7/23, not 6/23.
-Smartphone credit is $125, dumbphone credit is only $50. So if you activate a dumbphone on or before 6/23 and then switch to a smartphone after 6/23, you may only get $50.
-I called Sprint last week and was told that a new phone activation is required to get either credit, meaning I couldn't activate my extra previously activated Hero on or before 6/23, then buy the Evo 3d and still get the credit.
-For new customers and customers adding new lines of service, the $35 restocking fee is waived. All others may get charged the fee.
-I haven't explored this further since I don't plan on doing it but existing Premier customers adding new lines may be able to order the Evo 3d on 6/21, and with overnight shipping, be able to activate it on or before 6/23 to get the $125.
I'm porting a line to my account so I've tried researching every scenario to the best of my ability, or lack thereof
I can't believe someone is actually selling the INFO to open a new Sprint SERO account for $190? Really, its easy to get a SERO account for FREE! just google it and your done... jeez and this guy has sold numerous "plans" stealing someones hard earned cash. He seems to want to lure you in thinking that the evo 3d in included but there is a catch.
He then goes on to say that you are just buying access to the site to create your account and you still have to buy your phone plus pay any other fees associated with it.
check out the listing here BUT DONT BUY THIS IM NOT PROMOTING IT
his listing says:
Up for sale is Brand New Sprint Sero Premium Plan with 2-year agreement with sprint. This plan is $40 a month.
You can buy any new phone you'd like from Sprint's website. Even the new HTC EVO 3D!
Remember you pay for the phone separately. This price is just for the plan.
If you select a SMARTPHONE then its $10 a month extra.

I emailed him asking if he was a sprint authorized dealer, and I also mentioned that I called sprint to ask if the $190 fee was a one time fee or if I had to re-pay it every 2 years. and they didnt have an answer, so I would like to know if he knew? haha LOL. just hope nobody here fall prey to this guy.
If this has been posted b4 sorry, just dont want any of us e3d'ers to fall prey to this asshat.

Sprint Employee Referral Offer or something like that. I use to have it a few years back when I had my Touch Pro. It's pretty much just a discounted plan. Kind of hard to keep when you get newer phones because they try to make you switch plans.

The sero plans seem ok, but if you really wanna save some money you gotta get on the wireless advantage club. I pay $40 a month for 500 mins, unlimited data 3g/4g, unlimited texts, tv, gps, etc etc. The base is $20 + $10 for "iconic devices" (basically any decent phone) + $10 for any phone with 4g. But you have to know an actually employee willing to put you on their plan

The lowest non sero plan with unlimited data is $80. If you are like most people and only use small minutes every month, you save $40 a month and the taxes are cheaper.
Keep in mind SERO is dead, and the new plans are EPRP and are ~$20 more than SERO and the only way to get an actual SERO plan is from someone who has one adding you a line, then transferring it to it's own contract, people have been doing this, and charging a premium amount of $150-$200 since 2008.

My girlfriend and I are on a plan where we share 1500 minutes. With 12 days left in the billing cycle, we've racked up a whopping 186 minutes between us. If I could have a shared plan with 300 minutes on it for much less, I'd love that -- email, instant messaging, and texts have pretty much eaten into actual phone calls for me. Neither of us has a land line, btw.

Exactly. I have the advantage 500 min plan and I use MAYBE 150 minutes a month outside of mobile to mobile and free nights and weekends. Not to mention we get yearly upgrades.
Advantage Club is awesome. Being an employee was more awesome though.
I have 2 epics on the $129 plan, less 20% though. That's 1500 minutes w/ free cell calls and nights/weekends, and unlimited everything else as well, which makes it $51.x / per line.
Just checked.
edit: scratch that. It's there but when you click to actually order it, it's a blank page. They are probably doing it right now.
Anyway, just thought i'd post it.....
Buy it in-store! It helps build hype and it's fun to sell phones like these. Then laugh at people buying iphones with 3.5" screens haha

Upgrade. When the preorder page went live there was no way to perform an upgrade. After about an hour, they added the Note into the selection phones you can use for an upgrade. I was worried they weren't going to allow upgraders to preorder, but I was wrong.
First time poster.
I just tried upgrading a line that was eligible, but the price is coming out to $399 and I can't seem to get the $100 dollars off to make it $299.

The price of the phone is $399 but there is a "$100 discount". Are you encountering this price at the time you have to pay? I think maybe the discount won't be visible in your cart until you are actually ready to pay. You have to select the Note as your phone, then click "Add a Plan" and select the appropriate data plan.

I upgraded because I wanted to make sure I would get it on the 17th. I will call Premier help tomorrow to see if it was just a computer error.

Well just pre-ordered mine from AT&T online.
I am only 7 months into my current contract (Samsung Infuse 4G) but my Note upgrade cost is $299.00 + $18 onetime fee / 2yr contract extension. Plus I'll ebay my Infuse in a few weeks so that'll help lower the cost.
I tried BestBuy but it wouldn't allow the upgrade pricing. Oh well...no free case.
HOPE I don't regret this...but I don't think I will...the Infuse (4.5") has kinda gotten me used to larger smartphones.

HOW HOW HOW ?????? You shouldnt be able to do that. I cant!!!
Pre-ordered Carbon Blue shortly after midnight using via AT&T Premier with my employers discount for monthly service. Ordered new line with "voice-restricted data-only" at $36/mo after 20% employer discount (currently I'm Sprint w EVO 4G). Was not eligible for $100 discount due to no voice-plan. Price was $375 - $25 employer discount + $21 state sales tax = $371.
And, yeah, this data-only plan (which claims "unlimited data") does not seem to be available to the general public, it's somehow tied tied to my employer-discount negotiated plans. Will be trying to use VOIP to handle the very low number of calls I make each month, but that's the topic for another forum.

it surprised me. I logged into my at&t account and chose upgrade.
Now...it did require me to change my plan to the 3GB $30 (from 2GB $25)...maybe that had something to do with it.

It let you cause you changed your contract. It won't let people like me with grandfathered unlimited data plans do this.

The Premier website is freakin' annoying. They're listing the thing at $399 then forcing you to get a rebate. I thought Premier customers were supposed to get preferential treatment!
EDIT: Oops, looks like the discount is applied automatically when you check out. Still, it's annoying -- like they're trying to make you think you're getting a better deal than you are.
I was so excited when I saw this I ordered 2 right away.

I didn't notice until after the fact that it was not available in stock yet but this is the best deal I've seen so I'm willing to wait a little and see how it goes. I was also concerned I would not get the gift card if my purchase was not completed before December 1st but I talked to a customer service rep and they confirmed I would receive the gift card based on the order date not the ship date. They also said they estimated they would receive it in stock today which was a surprise. Sounds too good to be true but fingers crossed. So hopefully this is a good deal and I will get my phones shipped shortly.
Anyone else going to pull the trigger? Post here if you have any thoughts or additional info.
WOW phones over in the US are mega cheap, would be like £500 here.

Keep in mind that price comes with a two year contract @ roughly $80/month and heavy fee, enough to make up the difference, if you cancel before the two years is up.
Just got my shipping notice so they def have phones in stock even though it doesn't show as in stock on the website. Didn't pay for overnight shipping so I'm getting them Friday.

Thanks for this!
Their website ordering is odd though. The pricing is hokey, looks different than Verizon. Did VZ contact you after the order to confirm pricing?
In particular Walmart has 2G data pack for $45 where its $60 on VZ...and Walmart only shows text package of $10 /1000 texts....aren't the new VZ plans including unlimited talk and text?
Sorry, this is a nice deal but I have unlimited Data which I know will change but I don't want them effin up the order
Just curious what your experience with the order was.
Thanks!
Well...that doesn't seem like a good deal after all...the $100 gift card you get is only limited to purchases within Walmart; whereas if you buy the DNA with a $20 coupon from Wirefly, you only pay $129.99 and you have the choice whether to spend that $100 on Walmart or not.

some of us use walmart regardless so spending the $100 there is a given regardless if it's in the form of a gift card or credit card

No, VZ did not contact me after. But it did take about 24 hours through the Walmart website for "Carrier Approval". I did not change the plan. It asked me whether I wanted to switch to a Share Everything Plan and I said no. So I selected a $30 for 2GB plan for each phone. The plan already includes unlimited texting. I also have 1400 minutes but it was strange that it showed 700 minutes for each line. I'll have to check my plan after I activate both of the lines and see what it looks like.
For some reason Wirefly has just made me nervous in the past. A Walmart gift card is a good as cash to me so I'm good with that.

Yep, ordered mine this morning. i stopped by VZ store to check out the DNA first and man what a great looking phone, cant wait to get some more time on it.
The VZ rep explained to me that I would pick the 2GB but that would be my phone and my wifes plan would stay unlimited until she upgraded or I changed to a shared tier. Which I may do at the next billing cycle because it would save me a few bucks each month.
Again thanks man for this link, we shop at Walmart all the time so that $100 will come in handy!

Yep, for $600 or more. Plus I think there is only one carrier that offers a discounted monthly rate if you buy off contract vs subsidized. Our consumers are too dense to realize that they'd be better off paying full price for phones and demanding lesser monthly fees from the carriers. Everyone wants their fancy new device for relative pennies but will pay through the nose in monthly fees without batting an eye.

I noticed when I looked at the iPhone store for the US once that all the prices were under contract, where here in the UK it's buying directly with no contract. Also here you can purchase a month by month sim and you get the same deals as you do with the full on monthly contracts and they're much cheaper.
Why I was interested in the Nexus 4 was because it's £230-280 and I could get a contract of £25quid a month, cancel it any time and it's the same deal of unlimited data as the monthly version.
Sadly no 32GB version killed it for me because there is no Micro SD either.
Walmart will price match Radio Shack, who had it for $149, but only if you have a printed ad. Then you still get the $100 gift card, too.

It drives me crazy that carriers are still allowed to do this bs. All phones should come unlocked at full price from manufacturer or carrier, and carrier should have to compete for customers based on value and price of service. Unfortunately it is @ss backwards and carriers try locking out certain phones so you jump ship to get their overpriced sh1t service for the new shiny phone. They make you pay $599, sign up and cancel an hour later to use on another carrier -- truly sad
Verizon blows

I don't think most Americans would pay unsubsidized price for a smart phone. Sure, some would, but it would only take 1 carrier to offer a discount and people would jump all over it.

He speaks the truth. No one looks at total price anymore, only monthly payments. There's a good portion of the population that can't even get that right.

Has anyone successfully done this? That would be a crazy good price, making it $49. But maybe they would price match somewhere else for $199 making the price $99 instead of the $139 I paid. Either way I'm happy. My screen is dead on my Evo so I was more than ready for a new phone.
Also I looked at my account and everything looks good.
I wasn't able to find a print ad with the Radio Shack price, but they will price match any ad long ad it's not the Verizon ad, is what I was told. They said they just can't price match against VZW corporate.

Huh...is this only available through online? I bought mine from Wirefly for $129.99 and so if that price match does apply then I might as well return mine and get one again from Walmart
