for those that ordered from wirefly in the past, have you ever changed/cancelled service within the 6 month time period? I bought my evo 3d from them at the release date and was thinking of leaving sprint without paying the ETF(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226343), but not sure if and how Wirefly will charge me.
94 views and not one response?? Am I the only one in this situation?
From what I unferstand you don't need to pat them anything only sprint ETF

I did once about two years ago. In addition to the ETF, wirefly informed me I owed their company money. I dont remember how much, $200 I think. They called me a few times about it and I never paid it. That was the last I heard of it, they never turned it in, so it didnt affect my credit.

yeah,, but with the administrative fee chanage, I wouldnt have to pay SPRINT. Still concerned that Wirefly might report me or worse, have a collection agency call me every 15 minutes. I guess I am the only one in this situation....lol

Unfortunately, I am not eligible for upgrade until Thursday, meaning I am missing out on all of these great deals on the SGS2. I want to get one as soon as I am eligible but I was just wondering if anyone knew of any sales on the phone in early to mid December?
The regular price at my local Walmart (which is where I would probably upgrade if I can't find it cheaper elsewhere) is $150 so any sales that lowers the price below that would be great and I would be willing to wait a bit longer for a better price on the phone.
So...anyone heard of any deals that don't end before the 1st or start soon after?

I did complain when it was a month early and they did allow me to upgrade early. However, they said it was IMPOSSIBLE to change my official upgrade date and all they can do is notate the account that an early upgrade has been approved. Meaning, if I go to Walmart, Radio Shack, etc they will still just see my December 1st upgrade date and won't let me upgrade.
In sum, I CAN upgrade, but only at the AT&T store or over the phone with AT&T. So, if they drop their price I can upgrade early but I would rather pay $150 in a few days than pay $200 now.
Do they still?

Bad news for me
Well I got some bad news today...my actual upgrade date is December 6th, but two AT&T reps told me that upgrades go by month and not by specific day, so they told me I could actually upgrade at any major retailer as early as December 1st.
So, I was counting on that deal at Wal-Mart but when I called them to double check that I could upgrade on the 1st I was told that I could not upgrade any earlier than the 6th and that I was misinformed.
So, if anyone hears of any deals that are still going to be valid on the 6th please post it.

Walmart online is not Walmart. Its another company that works with them called LetsTalk Inc.

I ended up getting one from sams for 96 cents. think today is the last day for it. Also the activation is refunded to you after 30 days.
The Rezound is currently on sale over at Amazon for $150........I'm up for an upgrade. Are there any drawbacks to buying from here? The options can get confusing when trying to order........
Nope, I've done it twice without any issues. Haven't lost my unlimited plan yet.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
You have the standard 14 days to return it for a refund without being locked in for another two years. Even though Amazon will refund your purchase within 30 days, after 14 you will still be locked in a contract with Verizon and ineligible for discounted pricing. The only reason this would be a problem is due to the time lost in shipping.
I had to return two rezounds to them and the third came in only one day before the point of no return contract wise. If the third one had been bad I would have wanted a refund and out of the contract extension.
Other than that, ordering from Amazon was great. They replaced my first rezound over a single dead pixel. They replaced the replacement over a loose piece of plastic around the USB port. The replacements all came with free overnight shipping and according to Amazon they do not carry refurbs so all of their replacement phones are new. This is much better than a Verizon store where you will get a refurb if you have a problem.
At 150 I think you should go for it. I ordered mine at 220 and used the difference to get a multimedia dock, hdmi adaptor, and car dock.
With wirefly you can't switch the phone on the line you are activating for 6 months so for example: if you use your primary line then you can't change the phone on that line for 6 months. I don't know whether amazon does that. This, shouldn't be an issue if you plan on using the phone on that line for longer then 6 months.

I don't think they can tell if you switch lines. As far as I know, as long as the line is open for 6 months, you are good. Now, cancelling data on that line might raise a red flag, because I think that is what they earn the commision on.
I have had no problems with the 4 phones I have ordered from amazon. Great amazon CS, and fast shipping.

I think they might be blowing smoke up your butt. I bought my t mobile phones from wirefly and switched them within 3 months and never got charged or notified.
I added a line to my account from Amazon to get the rezound for a penny, then put the rezound on my line, and a dumb phone on the new line. and I never had any repercussions from it.

I almost forgot to use my 50$ BB card, because they never gave me one...
For pre-ordering the EVO, you're supposed to get 50$ BB card. My EVO was shipped to my residence, not the store. I am not sure if it is the same with others that dealt with Bestbuy, but they haven't contacted me in any way to redeem such a gift card. Maybe it has to do with the fact that it was not shipped to a Bestbuy store for pickup?? I am going to Bestbuy this evening and plan to use the 50$ toward the Otterbox case, they better honor it which they are still offering new EVO LTE purchasers- and I'm taking my receipt with me.
Maybe I missed something?
And... what did you buy with your 50$?
At my store they canceled it cause it was pushed back

I would absolutely be fighting that because

2) its still a valid promotion online
and 3) that crawls all over me
Go back to the store and fight for your 50$.
When I went to pick it up they had a sign saying that it was canceled because of the delay.

When I picked up my phone at Best Buy last Thursday, they applied the $50 Freedom discount, the $50 gift card discount, and the $50 trade-in of my old original EVO to my new EVO 4G LTE upgrade. I walked out of the store with the new phone, case + holster, Rocketfish car charger (needed new one) and Zagg HD shield for $94 and some change.
Make sure you get your $50 gift card. I think I do remember reading something where it said that it would be emailed to you in 2 - 3 days.
I just pre ordered today ti said I should still get the 50 gc as promotion is running to June 3.

I believe I saw the sign you are referring to when I pick up my EVO. I read it and the wording was confusing to me, so I asked about it. What I was told was that it was in reference to the planned launch date of 5/18 that was presented in last weeks flyer and not the $50 gift card offer. The offer was only mentioned as to provide a reference to the specific ad... or so I was told.
I was also told that I would receive my $50 gift card via e-mail in a few days, but I have not seen anything as of today. I will probably call them tomorrow if I don't get anything by then.
Ok this is weird I checked my email to see if anything was sent to me. I remembered getting emails saying I had x number of days left to pick it up. I didn't think much of it since I already picked it up. Then I got an email that said my preorder was canceled. I just read it again and it said
" Your reserved order has been cancelled because it was not picked up at the MANCHESTER MO Best Buy store #1897 within 3 days of confirmation. A refund has been issued for the amount of the cancelled item(s)."

Yeah so I went back to my best buy this morning and got my 50 dollar gift cards they sent them to me in the email got them 30 minutes later. funny thing is if I didn't ask they wouldn't have given them to me and they acted surprised when I told him there was this gift card.
so as the title states best buy price match guarantee worked in my success, that i would very surprised at!! i was shopping online sprint released me from contract using vzw prl's too much roaming they terminated me so i was shopping online at amazonwireless.com found the note 2 grey version only for 149.99 and the dna 49.99 out the door 200 bucks went to best buy asked for a manager showed him the pricing and sure enough they gave me both devices for 225 out the door i purchased the geek squad warranty. 9.99 a month per line i got it cause they give you one free battery for signing up was well worth it just for that!! and if you cancel before 30 days well then you get a battery for free and you help rep make a pinch of commision costing you nothing just thought i would share to all of those thinking that 299 was a hefty price like myself!! hope i have helped, pm me with any questions

Also anytime you are dealing with commission there are also chargebacks. So no you arent making the salesman any commission. But if their chargebacks are abnormally high you could be getting them in trouble.

With some discounts applied, some employers/schools have it waived.
I Did the same thing!
Got my Note 2 about little over 2 weeks ago for 189. PLUS got a $50 gift card that I applied towards the cost and end result was 149 bucks after tax.
What a great way to get a phone now though.. I used to always get my phones from Amazonwireless. But now that Best Buy Price Matches.. Ill be staying local till they quit doing it.
