I found on this site that when you pre-order the HTC Evo 3D you get 15%-23% off your monthly Sprint bill, $50 service credit and a $35 rebate. Here's the link to the site if you're interested. I know I've been looking forward to the Evo 3D!
Sprint Evo 3D Pre-Order Discount
I'm buying mine full price, wish I could go ahead and give them the cash and let them ship it to me when its ready lol

You should clarify that this is for: "New Sprint customers, new lines and add a line"
If you are an already existing Sprint Customer and are qualified for an upgrade:
Waived upgrade fee
Discounts off of Monthly Recurring Fees available to qualified members
Free Overnight Shipping, and
$35.00 StudentRate rebate

Porting number
I want to port tmobile number nad get $125. How the pre order thing will work with me?
Are you able to add a line to your account and put the EVO3D on that new line, then do a swap of numbers b/w your original EVO4G and new EVO3D so you then have the new phone # on your EVO4G and the original phone number on your EVO3D? Then once done you can cancel the line you just added?
Back with nextel this was common practice by those that upgraded often and was easily done b/c all you had to do was swap the SIM cards back then.
Yep everything but the cancel part

i second that i wanna know before i get spammed up the ass
IDK if OP is from androidforums or not, but we had a discussion about this:
HTC EVO 3D Discounts
And pretty much all of us decided against inputting our SSN into a studentrate.com site. IDK how this site can offer this deal when no one else can.
Here is what I am planning on doing to get the EVO 3D. First off, I will pay the ETF (which should be about $100, then I will sign a new contract with Sprint and get the EVO 3D at the discount price. Then I will sell my HTC EVO 4G and offset the price. I spoke with Sprint and the rep said that this is just about the only way to get the phone at the discount price without upgrading my contract.
This site seems a bit sketch...
I got this same deal in the past when I got my HTC Evo. The form didn't ask for any social or credit card info. When I filled it out someone called me so I could place the order with them over the phone

If you do that, Sprint might not take you back immediately. I've heard that if you cancel with them they might make you wait a few months before you're approved for a new account. The other thing is that you could end up hurting your credit. I'm not exactly sure. If you were a sprint Premier member, you might be able to get grandfathered in for your 1 premier upgrade this year, because that's what they did for me.

How??? I called in twice and was told no both times...
If you pre-order one of these phones you're guaranteed the discounts mentioned? Anyone know when the nexus s is suppose to be released?
I have the kinda the same question. Do you only get the discounts if you pre-order? What if I want to just wait till the Evo 3D comes out?
I think the Nexus S is suppose to come out early spring, so maybe this month?
I think you might still be able to get that discount even if you wait until the device comes out... However, considering the shortage of EVOs online due to some of the components being manufactured in Japan, there is a risk that the EVO 3 D will run out and be back-ordered at least that's what I think
Do you think the Evo 3D release date will be pushed back because of this?

It can't be pushed back if it was never announced
for what it's worth. Student Rate is legit. Basically, there's a guy that works there who holds all your info till launch day, and then bulk processes all the pre-orders witha dedicated sprint rep over night.
When I switched to sprint from ATT, my wife and I preordered our Epic4G's that way. I didnt put my CC info or SSN on the student rate form, but I was in constant contact with the guys there over email, and the night before launch day, I gave them the info over the phone.
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?

Yes it is. Does it mean that I could move it over and get that deal with 300 extra minutes and $125?
Also I pre-ordered it at Best Buy. Will I be able to get it through BB?
Thank you for helping me.

That's what I want to know. If BB can do this? Cause thats where I got my preorder from too. Or do I have to go to a sprint store to get the discount?

I just did this yesterday. Bought the Nexus S and I'll swap it for the 3D on the 24th. I didn't preorder it yet. But I did tell the guy helping me exactly what I was gonna do. I did option A. Swapped from Verizon and the original Droid. The $125 is gonna pay for the majority of my ETF!
Where did you do it at? Sprint or Best Buy?
R.I.P hd2 hello Evo 3d
If I do this number porting, will I have to pay the tmobile early termination fee? I have a year left.

yes, why wouldn't you?
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 think I did pretty well

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.

I did it at Sprint. I doubt Bestbuy will match all these deals.
Also yea, you'll have to pay the ETF.
I have an evo4g on a 129.00 plan the Rep at sprint told me since i have the evo i couldn't get the 69.00 plan i thought it was BS anyone hear of this

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 $125.
I'm porting a line to my account so I've tried researching every scenario to the best of my ability, or lack thereof
OK anyone know if radio Shack will stack discounts.
They give 100 for the evo (my buyer backed out )
And I see they will give 75$ for other smartphones
Would it be possible to trade in both evo and my old moment?
To get 175 off?

CheesyNutz, I asked the same question of 2 local Radio Shack Managers and both said only 1 phone. 1 of the Managers said that question had been asked numerous times and he wished that he could accomodate but the Regional Manager told him "No way".
Great minds think alike....
I don't know if this still works, but last year when I bought my Evo 4g, the guys from the Sprint store took both my Nexus One and Mytouch 3g for credit towards my Evo when I first switched over from T-mob to Sprint. My personal experience with Radioshack has always been pretty crappy anyways, plus you get $150 for your Evo 4g @ the Sprint store vs. the $100 from Radioshack.

Oh rly did not know this about the sprint store

Poor Cheesy
You can always pre-order at target as well. They are giving $150 to trade in for your EVO4G.
Yea me too with last year, they took my G1 and bricked moto clique and put the money towards my EVO.
My radio shack said the same thing. Normally they can stack but with the 3d its a strict 1 for 1. I have an appt with radio shack for Friday at 9. I preordered before the $100 trade in was announced and at the time I was told $150 - $175 for the trade in. So, I'm hitting the Sprint store at 8 when they open. If they have stock and will do $150 for the trade in I'll get it there and use my RS gift card for accessories. If they trade in value goes down by Friday I'll keep my appointment.
For those of you with a Moment, you may want to check on that $75 offer, when I pre-orderd, there was a list of the specific phones that the $75 is valid for and the Moment was not listed.
According to the RS website they give $158.13 for an Evo4g in Excellent condition.....and 3 weeks ago they gave $175 for it!!
http://radioshack.cexchange.com/onl...tBDmYmQgv+G1hsJdKb5c/KOlpLGqZRlMaOCAOqKlzyQ==
Also.....you can stack trade-ins if you sell them to RS and get a gift card....then use the gift card towards the E3D phone purchase!
i called sprint to get another plan for a new line, since i have 5 lines already i cant add more lines to my family plan. i told the rep that i'm getting marry in a month and i need to port my girl's number, she tells me that it will be easier if i just get a new number, and since i'm a premier customer she will add it to family plan. she puts on hold for 5 minutes to ask account services and boom tells me that is done, transfer me to telesales and got a new EVO 3D. Im so happy i only have to pay 30 dollars a month instead of 80+ taxes
So now you have 6 lines on your plan?
Swyped from my Atari 2600 3D
Yes i tried to add a line like last year, no luck my brother got his own plan. this time i didn't even ask for she offer me the deal.
"Sprint made my day also" 3 months ago, my EVO started acting up and green colors showed as red. Best Buy did not put my insurance back on and I did not know it. So I called sprint and there was nothing they could do at the time. I decided I would buy a new line when the EVO 3d came out, and cancel the EVO and eat the 1 yr early termination fee of 100 bucks. Yesterday after getting the new line at best buy, called sprint to cancel the EVO line and the rep said "Go back to best buy and return the phone and even though you have 1yr left on your contract i will bump you to upgrade status and you can just rebuy the EVO3d, keep your same number, and save the 110 bucks. I was in shock. So I checked the site, and what do you know, my EVO is at 2yr upgrade status all of a sudden. Thanks Sprint!!!
Yeah, they did this for me too. Best way to get results is go to the cancel account department.

First call Sprint Costumer Service extend your plan out for two years they will give you $70 off current bill this does not affect your upgrade then head on over to the sprint store trade in your EVO 4G for the $150 BAM you just got the EVO

Or you can sell your EVO on Craigslist for 250-325. That would also work and save you a credit
Can s-off come out and play? You run but you can't hide
Or you can try to win one
http://now.sprint.com/bea3dstar/?ECID=vanity:bea3Dstar
And while you're there, tell them if you are a AAA member or you are a member of a credit union. If so, that's 10% off your monthly bill.
Have a friend still using an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4? Tell them to dump it and go with Sprint. They'll get about $135 for their old iPhone 3GS (more for the iPhone 4) and $125 for porting their old AT&T number over to Sprint so Sprint will actually pay THEM to own an Evo 3D.
They've also been giving Sprint Premier Silver members the full upgrade price even though you've only had your Evo 4G for a year. Sprint is running so many great deals right now, most people should be able to get an Evo 3D for just about free if not better.

You have to be AT LEAST 16 months into your contract to get the $70.00 dollar credit when you extend your contract, or you wont get it..

This. I think I got like $240 shipped for mine on Craigslist.
Selling off my 3 Epics, so I got mine for free. BAHAHA. Trading in a phone is just a rip off program. You think it's a good deal, but you just don't know any better.
I don't know why Sprint is giving me such a hard time. I'm one year into my contract and have tried and tried. They want me to pay the full retail price. IMO it's not worth the retail price esp when I have an EVO. It's not worth all the hassle. I don't know what else to do. Hell I will sign a 3 year contract if they would cut me a little slack. I hope someone from Sprint sees this and contacts me.
