How to get premier gold I currently have 1500 family plan with two lines I'll be adding two more lines august 1st would I have to change my plan or will the extra $40 for the two lines and don't forget the +$20 for smartphones therefore $60+ my current $120 after discount monthly bill would be $180 is that enough for gold status ? I also get a 25% discount if that matters.

In order to get premier gold you have to upgrade ur service to the everything data 3000 for 169.99..premier gold is base only on ur primary line.. Or get get simply everything and that will also get you premeir gold
u know this information could be easily found on their website or just googling some FAQ's.. not necessarily pertaining to the evo 3d...
anyway.. here

I actually did check their website but I wasn't clear on if I actually had to change my plan or not I thought my bill just had to total $169 or more but I appreciate the link and I posted here because this is the only section that I use being that I only have 3d's on my plan and I'm pretty sure its someone in the 3d section that wasnt 100% sure about the topic which is why I posted in the q&a section.

It's based on the price plan or the length of service.....
Ten years + or a 169.99 family plan
You don't have to upgrade to the 3000 minute plan, it's just over 170 over all. . .

Ok so I have the everything data 1500 $129 +$10(smartphone) x2=$20 +$7(TEP)x2=14 +$4(familylocator) I also have spending limit which cost like $3(i think) everything =$170 without tax should the qualify to gold status or does my 25% discount effect that if so I'm adding two more lines august 1st which is $20 per line and the $10 smartphone fee both of those times two would be $60 on top of my $170 bill and would total out to $230 without tax and without my 25% discount. Would that qualify me?

You will have to be on the $169.99 plan or be a sprint customer for 10 years. It doesn't matter how many add ons you have (premium data and extra lines). Your discount doesn't effect your premier status.

well part of that is an activation fee, part of that is because you didn't start on day on of their billing cycle, so you pay for part of one cycle and then all of the next one. First bills with any carrier are always huge.
Check your bill online and it will break down the charges. As previously stated your activation fee + data charges(prorated for month until next cycle) + 1 month in advance should all be on there, your next bill will be normal. Just fyi, if you ordered your phone from Verizon Friday-Monday they do have a free activation if you ordered on those days. Just something to look into and might save you $35.
Thanks for the quick replies.
When I got my Droid X it was on backorder for 10 days and they tried charging me for those 10 days. Verizon tries to pull some shady stuff so definitely check your bill.
Did any see there bill this month? My insurance went up from $7 to $8........

Only if you use more than 2gb a month and need the speed. Otherwise T-Mo has a deal right now. Two lines of service, unlimited text/talk/data for $49.99 per line. However, after 2gb data it throttles the speed to 2G speeds...
But hey, for a casual couple/family, that is an amazing deal. If not for getting the Evo3D we would probably switch and save $50 a month and get more minutes. So far, the most data I've used in a month has been 3gb, but I average only about 1.2-1.5gb a month.
I avg 8gb on my phone and 4gb on my wifes. But we do not have home internet we tether for free.

The $1 increase is still worth it to me. You never know what will happen and with TEP you are covered for anything pretty much. My sister just messed up her brand new Iphone and didn't have insurance. Now she's pretty much screwed. I told her dumbass husband to get the insurance, but just like most people, he didn't.
Your complaining about a dollar increase ? Why was this topic started. Bro how you get the 3d can't even pay 1$ more a month.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Screw their insurance, I canceled mine when it went from $5 to $7. I have saved more than enough since I cancelled TEP to outright buy new phones, without accounting for the ridiculous $100.00 deductible.
My 370ZX cost less to insure per dollar, with no deductible.
So Ive had my Evo for almost two years and my update is not due till August 1st. Is there a way to get my upgrade moved up? What would be the most money efficient way for me to upgrade?
Also what did you do to upgrade and how much did you end up paying?
Thanks in advance!

my upgrade was supposed to be in December. I called sprint and paid $45 to have it moved up until now.

You still have to pay for the phone (upgrade price). The $45 he paid was a fee to buyout the rest of the contract. The fee varies based on the remaining length of contract and can only be done after you're already 12 months into your contract, which you are. Call sprint, ask them to let you buy out, then you'll be free to get the phone wherever you'd like

Yes unless you get it from wirefly or amazon. Best Buy was running a good deal just not sure for how long. My upgrade wasn't due until Sept called and got it bumped for $45 preordered through BB traded in my 3d and got my phone for $40.

Depending on what they make you pay to get your upgrade. The EVO trade in was I believe $50 for the phone and $50 for getting another sprint phone. I'm not sure how long that deal is good for though. So if you pay $45 to get your upgrade and get the og EVO deal you would end up paying $145 plus $36 for activation.

If your buy out is $45, then you would spend about $145 for the buy out and the phone as long as you do it before June 2 (I believe the Evo trade in promotion expires on this day).
Phone $199-$50 Evo trade in - $50 credit for Evo trade in = $100 + $45 buyout = $145+tax. That is your out of pocket and then you will get a $50 best buy gift card (which you may or may now be able to use on the phone...depends on your Best Buy mobile employee).
I can't check via their website since I don't have my number yet.
Thanks
it costs $580, for new and existing customers.
with well qualified credit or over 2 year tenure you can put $100 down and pay the rest over $20 installments for $24 months.
If you're on an older plan and think that sounds crazy visit your local T-Mobile store so they can explain it fully because it's alot better than an upgrade used to be.
Its not crazy considering a famil plan is $110 for for 5 lines now. Tmo rocks
Sent from my LS670 using Tapatalk 2
If you have good credit it will be 99 down and 20 a month to pay it off. If your credit isn't as good it will be 280 down but only 12.50 a month to pay it off. If you are on a grandfathered plan, at most you might be paying the same thing monthly that you are now, but usually it ends up being cheaper than you are paying now and you get a lot more for your money.

If you stay on classic, which we did because we have killer data deals for being customers forever, you can do upgrade pricing at Wal-Mart or Costco. It's not at Costco yet, but it's $150 for new contracts or upgrades.
The value plan seems to usually be cheaper, but if we can get the one for $50 (it's $150+tax and then the $100 rebate from htc) on a couple of our lines it's worth it to us to pay an extra $10/month.

If you are talking about the HTC phone trade in program, be wary. That program is extremely strict and if they deny your phone for any reason, you get an adjusted rebate or 0 - either way, you just gave up your phone by sending it in. In most cases, a CL, Swappa, or eBay sale would be much better.

Was looking foward to getting it at Costco until the rep informed me today that they won't be selling the T-Mo One. At least for now.
I just got my sprint bill and found out that the one up deal that was explained to me in the store was wrong and I am now paying about $51 per month more than I should or was told I would.
Background info....I had 4 lines on the family program and decided to use the one up, or whatever that program is called, to get the Note 3. I was prepared to pay cash for it but the store told me how good a deal it was to use the rental monthly fee upgrade programs since I get new phones all the time. They said that the cost of the new program was like $29 per month extra but I had to trade a phone to get into the program. I thought this was a reasonable deal.
After reviewing my bill in detail today I see they took one line out of my family plan which I was paying $19 for and $10 per month for data and now charged me $50 plus $30 for the data as well as the $29 per month rental.
So in the end I lost my $19 family plan line, traded in a phone that was working well, and now pay $51 per month for the new plan plus the rental on a phone.
Called Sprint today and they said they can't help via customer support that only the store can fix this.
I know this is going to be a nightmare.
Has anyone of you experienced this or know how to escalate a store issue?

What you just described is why I bought my phone. No one-up unless you're in one of their everything plans, which if you have multiple lines with a shared minutes + unlimited data plans adds about $100 per month to your bill. Your better off buying the dang phone.

My sprint store here advised me against doing the one up because I do have the family data plan, she said I'd be an idiot to switch to the one up, plus they wanted my EVO LTE, wasn't going to happen. Hopefully you can get it fixed.

I strongly suggest that you call customer service or corporate (if you get flak from customer support), and reverse your choice if you don't like the deal they gave you. Even if you up your contract on your old plan, breaking later (say in one year, which happens to be the one-up timeline) is cheaper than the increased monthly fee you're facing. Over two years you'd have added $2,400 to your bill (that's three new phones).

Everyone has a different measure of price/value. I'm on a shared minute with unlimited data plan.
For me, a full 2 year contract discounted price is a huge waste of money ($150 phone + 100 per month = $2550 = No thank you).
One-up plan for one year forcing me to move at least my master line to one of the two unlimited everything plans is also a waste of money (35 per month for 20 months + 60 extra per month for 20 months = $1200 additional expense).
I buy the phone, don't change plans, stay off contact, one-time hit of $700.
I buy my own insurance policy, get my phone serviced same-day locally for any needed repair = total control.
