Sprint insurance - HTC EVO 3D

Did any see there bill this month? My insurance went up from $7 to $8........
Sent from my EVO 3D using Tapatalk

Mine is the same way

Yeah insurance went up this month, sprint gave me the heads up when I got the phone and my brother got it as well, I don't usually check sprint emails so probably that's why you guys didn't know
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d

Lol tmo went from 5 a month to 9 bucks. Lol glad i came to sprint.

$1 is not much but when you add $1 to millions of users thats a lot of money. Then add the $10 data charge it just.keeps going up.

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.

Instant Rebates from Sprint for Evo 3D

Does anyone know when the instant rebate offer will end from Sprint? Will it be renewed again like it has been so far or will it end before the Evo 3D is released?
I'm asking because I want to preorder the Evo 3D from Sprint, but if I have to go through a mail in rebate I might as well go to Radioshack.

Go with Radioshack anyways. They charge tax on the sale price of the phone, not the "without contract" price. I know cause I added on an EVO and Shift onto my account this weekend.

Are you sure? Did this just start recently? They didn't tax me on the full price of the phone when I bought my Evo from BB last year. I still have the receipt. I was charged the two year upgrade rate of 199.00 for the phone and I bought a 35.00 case along with it. The subtotal was 234.98. Tax was 16.45. Total cost was 251.43. Tax rate in Indiana is 7 percent. Had I been charged tax on the full price of the phone which was what? 600.00? I would have paid almost 42.00 on the phone tax alone.
Now what they did do that I didn't like, was charge tax on the 50 dollar gift card which should have been deducted from the final tax cost but it wasn't so I paid 3.50 too much in tax.
Alright I pre-ordered it. The dude that worked there was cool... I almost thought they were closed because there was only 1 car towards the back and looked dark. Anyway the dude that worked there was really cool and we talked about the phone a little. He said he thinks early- mid June and also that he would personally call or email me when the release date is announced.

This is very true........ That price hurts my heart tho....The most I paid for a phone was $650 I think and it was because I wasnt eligible for an upgrade and I believe it was either the Touch Pro 2 or that Blue World Phone that Sprint came out with a long time ago...
I paid $50 for my 3vo on launch day
Wiid is good for you
I would never pay more than 1-200 dollars for a phone. Anyone pays 4-500 dollars for a freakin phone to have for 1-2 years is crazy. **** I bought my sons first car for 600 dollars 2 years ago. If i pay 500$ for a phone I can be positive that within the next year or two there is gonna be a better phone out that I am gonna want. No way I'm paying that much

You should call Sprint. Most likely it was an error on their part or some feature was added to your account. Activation fee? Sprint TV? Insurance? Premium Data?
My bill was thevsame in the past few months...except for the $1 increase in TEP.

An increase of a dollar or two is normal, as Sprint has been adding extra taxes/goverment fees. But 40 is a lot, you should call and ask.

That sucks you dropped your evo. I had mine without a case for a couple days but I went and picked up an otterbox defender today.
Can anyone link to anything that says the deductible is different then $100? I haven't heard this yet. I don't have TEP on my girls Evo LTE bc I don't do a ton of deving/modding on her phone like I do my own, but with my own I carry TEP because I go through two phones a year or so and it's worth it for me... Heard the monthly fee was going up but not the deductible.

Otter Box Defender is the only way to go. I bought one for my last Evo and will not own another phone again without one. Well worth the $50, cheaper than a deductible and it has to sustain one hell of an impact to cause any damage. The built-in screen protector works pretty damn good too.
It makes the phone bigger but I think it sits in my pockets better when I go to sit down. You know, not sliding down and weighing down your pocket when you are driving or sitting down to eat.

If you never used your protection plan once then u can go into the store and have them do a standard return the u get a prorated charge back. If you used it once then u can't get a refund but the protection is good for your phone for 2 years from date of purchase.
I bought it on my phone and I got rid of it in 6 months. I ended up getting $146 back. This was before I started working at best buy.

How did you upgrade?

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

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).
