Weird....I bought my 3VO at midnight during the premier pre-order.... I used the same card as I have linked to pay my bill....
Here's what's weird .... They posted the 239ish as an account credit in addition to giving me a credit of $70 for extending my contract....so now, today, instead of owing spring money, I have a credit of around 150.....
Did this happen to anyone else? Seems like I essentially got the 3VO for free, plus the $70 credit.....you'd think they would have,figured that out.....I'm not gonna be the one to tell them!

the phone wont get billed to your account until the next billing cycle
Dont get to excited, I bought the evo3d and had $230 credit, I also thought I got lucky!.. Then 2 days ago they updated it and now I owe. lol
Yet you could still get to keep it, you never know! Good Luck!
Yeah my payment showed on the bill but it adjusted after a week.
That is how Telesales does it
When you order and pay, they apply the payment to your account. When your next billing cycle comes, they then bill your account.
I would advise still paying your account as normal, otherwise, you will owe.
Telesales always does this.
I had a payment due of 18 bux, but I still posted by 235 payment, now shows a credit of 216.. I know it will catch up.. I have been through this before.. that is how it works (I have 5 lines and airave).
To the op what happen is someone renewed the contract on one of you lines to get the $70 credit. They will not fix it. If it was done on the line with you 3d it was in customer service rep error but it will not be charged back to your acct. I work at sprint and have done this a few times and got wrote up for it but it never affected the customer.

For starters, there is a screen app that works without root
And 2nd, why would you need a screen app anyway? If you got credited it for it,all you do is log in to your account from a COMPUTER, and take a small pic of your bill with the EVO 3D price in the credit column,instead of showing that they charged you for it.
I mean its really easy to type hey i ordered 2 evo's and sprint gave them to me for free. #imjustsaying
Now of course mistakes can happend and do happen But what is sounds like REALLY happened is, you ordered the evo and actually paid for the phone. Since you paid with credit card, of course it will come up as a credit because its a payment. Now for you to actually 'get the phone for free',you need to see another item on your bill (or not). The first item of 239 or so should be when you paid credit card, the next item(which might not come for a week or so, or next bill) is an item actually charging an evo 3D to your account.
Now for you to actually 'get the evo for free', you should see NO charge for the price of the evo, OR you should see a charge/price for the evo, but put in the credit column. WHich basically means if you paid 239 by credit card,but the evo item charge came and and it was a credit, you should actually see $578 of credit (since you paid for a phone AND they credited the price of an evo to you).Most people chose to have the phone billed to their account instead of paying so this 'free' evo wouldnt apply to us.
Im pretty sure that didnt happen, and they simply didnt charge the phone to your account yet.

Problem with this that it takes 3 billing cycle if you send your phone in. If you take to store, it's immediate. I'd rather get the trade in immediately and just buy from any of the stores that gives $150.
Will try ebay or craigslist first so I won't have to pay at all.

Maybe he would take your address and email address from your evo 3d and use that information to steal your mail to make sure that you never recieve a bill again.
lol some good responses. I was in a rush to get to work when I got the text messages so when things calmed down it hit me - a contract is a contract you will always have a bill until it ends/cancels.

This reminds me. When I first got Sprint it was with a SERO account. I ordered a phone (Mogul) and they accidently sent me 2 but only charged me for one. I called Sprint and they had no idea what was going on but told me to send one back. So I sent one back. The next month I realized they put a $200 credit on my account. I called them back and told them what happened and even explained my theory about them refunding me for the phone I returned. The CSR assured me they would fix it. They never did. SERO was about $30/month so I ended up with like half a yr of free services. I'm still with Sprint and SERO.

Just a friendly warning, the sale seems to be linked to specific zip codes. The link in the OP is setup for Garfield NJ, 07026 and the one I actually used was for Spring TX. If I updated the zip to my real zip code, the sale price is $149. Their system will also AUTOMATICALLY make your City, State, zip that of which the link takes you to.
Now I placed my order, realized the address issue and will contacted them tomorrow to modify my address. Not sure if that will effect the price I pay BUT one thing is for sure, its not going to cost me $217 either way.
I'll update here after I get the address corrected and confirm my price after. I figure I'll give it a day in their system to get to stick and then update the address.
I ordered yesterday for $149.99
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
It should be noted that there is a $37 activation fee from Sprint.
I changed the zipcode to mine (here in chicago) and it kept the $119.99 price. And yes, there is a $36 activation fee, but this is still cheaper than $150 if you figure in the $10 google wallet credit...
$119.99
$36
-$10
-----------
$145.99
Not bad at all. Not the $10 I paid for my evo a few days before christmas (price match + rebate), but flipping that, I should net under $50 or less for the whole thing.
EVO for $99.99 if you have Bank of America
Log into your bofa account and click on the add it up link. click on cell phone deals and bofa will credit your account $50 if you buy using their link. I tried getting the $119.99-$50 add it up, but it won't work.
One or the other.
By the way, to get the $119.99 deal, do a google search for "wirefly friends and family" and click on the first non-ad link.
So to summarize, $119.99 if you don't have bofa
or
$99.99 if you have bofa using the add it up link.

How will they know? You don't activate through them. You buy from them, tell them it's for the upgradable line, then when you get it, you activate through Sprint and have them so the switch. Wirefly is out of the picture once you have the device.

Why is there an activation charge?
How is this any different than buying a phone off of Craigslist and getting it activated?

Does Sprint charge $37 activation even if you get it from them anyway?
(If so, then this isn't an issue. Gotta pay it either way, right?)

Because you need to "activate" it on the carrier and it's no different, you would be paying the same charge no matter where you get the phone. Now, the activation fee did double but that puts Sprint in line with the other carrier's activation/upgrade fees and adds more cash to the "fix the network" pot.
*Activation is $36

I had this same intention. I called Wirefly and they do NOT let you use another line's upgrade for your own (idk why thats what he said). You would have to swap the upgradeable line with yours like others have said. Part of the reason is because their policy is to activate it themselves (I asked them if they could hold off on the activation, the guy said no) so its running by the time it gets in your hands

This doesn't entirely make sense. If you're upgrading, that would mean your existing device stops functioning when they activate the new one. This is obviously not acceptable. I'm quite confident you actually have to call in and activate it once you receive the device. THEN your old device stops functioning. Now if you're buying a new line of service then it may arrive activated (though past purchases from amazon for tmobile did require activation AFTER receipt of device).
ymmv.
Wirefly has a ad on its front Page saying free activation wheb adding a line or doing a new activation.
Food for thought to make it a even better deal...

Just got my order number to get my new replacement evo. The csr told me that the defective unit has to be received by Sprint within 35 days or a maximum non-return fee of $350 will be charged to my account. Has anyone ever not returned their phone? Any negative side effects of not returning a phone that retails for $550 when it can be sold for more than the non-return fee of $350?

My guess would be that once you activate the replacement the ESN of the other phone would be flagged as bad if not returned. I could be wrong.....but so is this idea.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, this is a bad idea! I was just wondering if anyone had done this before.
Well seeing how you paid 200 the 350 charged to your account would mean you paid 550 for the phone as long as you paid it I would think the esn would be good lol
I think as long as you pay the $350 the ESN should be fine.
When my OG evo broke i got a replacement phone and my phone was due back on a certain date. i forgot the date but lets just say it was due oct 20th. i didnt send my phone back for like 2 months lol. they kept sending me letters and calling me. 3 months in i called them and was like i dont have a shipping label can i get one? they sent me one and extended my return date even more. i sent it in once i got the label.
Maybe I'm missing the point but if its defective why would you want to keep it?!?

This.
If it's defective, what makes you think you're gonna get $550 for it?
You may only get $350 lol.

I won't say it's perfect, but it works as it should. The camera button is very loose.
And also, if I have 2 evo LTE's that I paid $550 for (including $350 non-return fee and $199.99 cost of the phone), that would mean I have one Evo remaining, and therefore would not lose any money.
Just a thought. Thanks for the input guys.
So you did a claim cause of a loose camera button. But you're willing to keep it and sell it as in good working order.
Like I said its a OCD defective.
I tried doing that with my mogul they charged me took me 2 months to get the refund. If they did it back in 2007 chances are they'll do it now. Don't test your luck

I call shenanigans!
I have an Evo with a loose screen in the lower left corner. After about 2 hours of being disconnected, reconnected, and transfered I was told I have 14 days from date of receiving the phone to return it. If I would like to get another Evo sent as a replacement, I need to give them a credit card # for $549 and they'll send me my new phone! Then credit my bill 2-3 cycles from now!
You believe that crap?
So, after we laughed at that ridiculous statement she told me, she made an E-Ticket for me that dates today. So I can wait for the release date and get a NEW replacement from the store. She couldn't believe it either.
So, if anyone needs a replacement phone before the launch date, good luck! It's a complete nightmare.

Escalations or Retention? Just curious because I have been getting the run around here.
Just want to know what to ask for when calling, thanks.

Refuse tech support and refuse taking it into a service center. Find a hardware defect. As the last resort say either send a replacement or you want to return the phone for a full refund and your upgrade reinstated. I did not have to say this last part but it would have been next.

Thats what they offered me also! They said send it back, and they'll refund my money and give me back my upgrade.

I got my replacement ordered through escalations today too. Said I should get it in 2-5 days (we'll see about that) and that I have 35 some odd days to return the defective unit.
