This is probably a stupid question and my current thoughts will likely be confirmed but..I'm an OG Evo owner who got it on launch day, Therefore my contract will not expire until about a year from now, I still have a $75 one-year upgrade and if it weren't for the fact that it was listing under full price on the site for me right now after i enter my number I'd have ordered my E3D already and be waiting for it.
I was hoping that I could simply trade in my OG Evo to sprint for the $150 and perhaps use my $75 upgrade on top of that and sign another contract to pay zero out of pocket, I understand that it may not work that way and I may be paying $50 out of pocket if they don't count both the trade-in and the upgrade.
Looking at this, It appears that it doesn't work that way.
Seems rather cheap of me, I know but in this economy..eugh.
I got mine for $150 thanks to some sweet connections.
They should reset your upgrade so u can get it for 199 - 150 EVO trade .... I was a original EVO owner and they did it no problem

Really? Anything in particular you say and was it in a sprint store?
I had an OG Evo from day one too and went to Radio shack thinking I was only eligible for the partial updgrade but only paid $52 plus taxes after my OG Evo trade in of $148.00, from what she said now until July 3rd Premier customers will get the full upgrade.
Sprint store and actually was just there a couple days ago and they was doing it for some woman too. It's I guess I one time courtesy thing.y

Talked to an online representative. Got told that i would have to pay $475 even with a 2yr agreement, That nothing can be done as I am not eligible for the $150 upgrade yet.

Email this guy [email protected] and tell him you want an early upgrade. I send him an email and he called me the next day. I got the evo 4g last year and was not able to get the upgrade. I talked to this guy and he was able to put in an early upgrade request in and i was able to get my evo 3d for 199.
Step 1: Read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093232
Step 2: Have a beer
Step 3: Call the number in that thread
Step 4: Enjoy your upgrade eligibility reset.
I'm at 11 months into my contract.
Got my upgrade reset last night.
Phone is now listed in my Sprint portal @ $199.
Also got 300 extra minutes a month added to my account as well as a $70 credit.
Keep in mind, you will have to extend your contract 2 years following the method posted above.
Everyone is eligible for the 300 bonus minutes every month is you are on the Everything Data Individual Plan.
Today is the last day to do this. The rules was once you're one year into your contract you may be able to work something out. Today they are closing that loop hole. They may extend it for those who have lost their eligibility.
Shoot me a thread if you have questions in specific cases. I can answer them.
Well...I wouldn't be eligible for 300 extra minutes, Everything data family plan.

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.

Just wanted everyone to know that if you work at a car dealership, chances are you can get a discount.
I had called retentions to see about getting a discount due to the contact changes. I didn't get a discount for that. However, I did get a credit for the towers in my area being up and down due to "network upgrades"... Hopefully this is due to them getting ready for rev b... The rep didn't say what it was for.
Anyway, he asked if I knew of any employee discounts from my work. I told him that I am a salesperson at a Ford dealership and that we have 7 other dealerships with a total of 16 new car franchises. He then checked every one. I ended up taking the Ford discount because it was a whopping 23 percent!!!
Just thought everyone would like to know that. I'm pretty sure everyone that works at a dealership can get this, from general managers to cashiers.
If you do work at one check it out. I told him that I didn't have an email address for it and he didn't really care. Just sent it to my personal email.

Nice man, Last year when I moved from Verizon to sprint I told them I got 20% discount but sprint wouldn't give me the same, employee was really nice and gave me 25% discount and put me as a home depot employee(I don't work at home depot) just to moved over to sprint lol
<~~~ 27% Employee discount beat that lol.
Yeah I called retentions about why was my administration fee $3.00 I guess the airave counts as a line. But then the rep said she can help me save money and brought my discount from 18% to 25%. That will cover any little increase I have coming to my bill. I love rententions CS.

Has anyone here ever successfully received a rebate from Tmobile?
The reason I'm asking is because I did a little google searching earlier
and came across several sites and blogs complaining about how
Tmobile never honored their rebate and that "Young America" which
is the corporation that handles the rebate basically screws everyone
out of the money that is entitled to them.
They either say the rebate form was incorrectly filled out or that
somewhere, somehow you didn't mean the eligibility criteria set forth in the
rebate form.
I'm worried now that I will never see my rebate that was promised me
even thought the Tmobile rep filled out the form himself and highlighted
and made copies of everything for me.
Help me bring my stress level down by reassuring me about how you've
gotten a rebate back before.
I need someone to hold my hand...bad.
(If I don't get mine there's 3 others behind me that might not get theirs either.)
iirc there's a site along the lines of tmobilerebate.com where you can check the status of the rebate

Yes. I've been checking my rebate status on tmobile.com/rebates but my rebate hasn't been processed yet.
I'm just looking for some members that have received a rebate to calm my nerves.
I'm just looking for reassurance.
I'm a former rep. We used to fill out the rebate forms and have you mail it. We guaranteed that you'll receive it. If the customer fills it out and makes a mistake, that will either delay or deny your rebate. As long as you filled it out correctly, then you are fine.

Yea your ok dude I always tell everyone to make copies of everything so you always have proof you filled it out right I gotten my rebates every single time when I was a customer and i got many phones.

Exactly the same here. Website didn't work but calling worked. I received the one for my Sensation but never got the one for my Touch Pro2. I bought the Amaze through WalMart.com (cheaper than TMobile's price) and am supposed to get a $100 gift card after I've had the phone for 6-8 weeks. The gift card will probably take another 6-8 weeks after that! LOL
Got a text saying it's been processed and wait two weeks.

Suckers.
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.
To me the guy is just a joke but I'm sure to less tech savvy people he's causing problems.

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.

I before I lived in the apartment where comcast didn't charge me for paid on demand, I lived at another apartment and came home to a letter from comcast explaining up to that day I was receiving service by mistake so they disconnected it. I was living there for like a year and a half. I was the sucker that time.
Another time I got fired from Wells Fargo so the manager made a credit(bank lingo) and paid for the hours of that pay period. About a week later, I get a direct deposit for the same amount from them. Then I closed my account. Suckers.
