If you accept the credit it will extend your contract for another year. reps at the store wont tell you though upgrade date will remain the same though but if u thinking bout leaving don't take the credit
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
how do i get this 100 credit havent heard anything about it. I dont plan on leaving sprint anytime soon so why not if it dosnt effect my upgrade date.
most credits or discounts do this, that's why you do them at the start of a contract not in the middle or towards the end
Uh, the whole point of the credit is to get you to resign your contract, do you seriously expect $100 credit for nothing?
It might be that your rep is shady and was misguiding you about this, but it's always how it's been.
I just want to find out about this credit. I havent heard anything about it. And i am more then willing to add a year to my contract if it dose not effect my upgrade. I mean i love the photon but in 20 months i am sure i will want something new to play with.
give them $636.00 for Photon and divorce them! PERIOD! I don't owe them s**t!

+1 when they killed premier that was all I needed to realize I'll be paying full price for phones and not signing any more contracts. The benefit of the contract is 100% one sided for the carrier. Where's my benefit? Them subsidizing $200 but charging me $350 if I wanted to leave?
Im curious what the OP believed the reason for the $100 was. I can't imagine someone would think a cell company, or any company for that matter, is giving away $100 no strings or expectations.
If it sounds to good to be true ......

$79.00 (+ tax) = $1896.00! Sprint is getting their share!!! I like the "you piss me off I'm outta here for free!" feeling! Not to mention, do you know how many free phones they have offered me? (usually an iPhone I dont want!) They look at my file and know I can leave anytime so they are nice to me!
Yeah that's how all the credits always work. Duh.

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.

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.

I believe you just go online and submit for that credit. Shouldn't matter where you buy the phone.
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.

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.

Still Waiting........
....I'm still waiting also. Talked with AT&T and they said they were swamped with orders and quickly ran out of stock from the weekend order. They don't know when they are getting there next shipments in....Nice!
What also sucks is AT&T gave their own customers preference over non-AT&T customers when filling the orders with the stock they had. Nice! I say that because there are members on here who ordered after I did and got their lapdock already. I ordered with my debit card so their should have been no hold up except I'm not an AT&T subscriber. It would be nice if they would post that info on their site so consumers can make an informed purchase!
AT&T Customer Service...Sucks!
So, after talking with a rep on the phone, I then requested to talk with a Supervisor. I told the Supervisor that it's ridiculous that they can't tell me when they will be getting the Lapdocks in stock again. I then asked if they would give me a refurb model since they have those in stock and they told me they would have to charge me $25 dollars more for the refurb. I said are you kidding me! No wonder you are losing to your competition! I didn't take them up on their offer and will wait for my $50 NEW Lapdock. AT&T SUCKS!
Alright...... i will say this again. I work tech support.... for at&t not in mobility although. For some odd reason this is a company wide issue home dept, mobility, techs in the field are backordered. I am believing due to the increased amount of shipping this year and manufacturers themselves, im here to help... and by helping i mean tell you not to waste your time calling into at&t. ****s backordered. Everywhere.... what you see on your screen is what that agent sees. Simple as that and that supervisor saw att has referbs to pass out on ATT.COM thats why she quoted $75

If you had a termination fee that means you left sprint, therefore you'll have a higher monthly bill no matter where you go. Also, you'll have a metered internet cap with your spanky new 4G LTE phone, and therefore you've also opened yourself up to an overage bill on the internet if you are a moderate to heavy user.
Enjoy your new phone.

Hello,
Thanks to being able to bill to my account, I ordered a 64gb iPhone 5 today. I am honestly not sure if I am going to end up keeping it as I have been using Androids since 2.1 (Eclair) and I really like the platform. However, I am frustrated that Sprint frakked the Photon 4G replacement and I am not fond of Samsung (too plasticky) and to a lesser extent HTC.
I was honestly praying that Sprint would get some sort of version of the RAZR. The Intel Atom powered RAZR looks amazing, but has only been announced for Europe and I think Asia.
Being with Sprint since 1999, I really am conflicted about the iPhone in general. Thanks to Sprint having to pony up Billions of Dollars just to offer the bloody thing. they have done away with the Premier Gold Program replete with 12 Month Upgrades, the ability to bill equipment to your account at any corporate owned Sprint Store, and far less understanding Account Services actions.
That being said., it will be nice to have tons of options for Accessories where with the Photon there are hardly any. Still, I am hoping a flagship Android Phone is announced by Sprint in the next month.
Cheers,
JJ

My wife just got the iphone 5 and it's pretty impressive. I don't understand why people here sound so indignant that a photon user would be jumping ship. There is a market for the iphone obviously. I find it a foolish exercise to try and compare phones and platforms. At the end of the day they do the same most of functions. At the end of the day
Choice of device is a personal one. If on the day I told myself I now longer care to think about my tech I might move to a different platform as well. People have reasons for moving to ios, and are better for it in many cases.

Wouldn't you jump ship if you could get a Cryphone at a cheap price?
I'm sure there's plenty of people in 3rd world countries that would love to have this phone rather than something like food or shelter. How else
are they going to shoo the flys away?

Exactly, not worth it unless they offered a discount in service.
No amazing value there. No incentives for me to port out my 2 AT&T HTC ONEs from Straight Talk. Which is too bad because I'm willing to pay a bit extra for LTE service, but with AT&T's current rate plans I'm better off just keeping my phone with Straight Talk.

This would be OK for someone who wants a new device and do not have current eligibility for an upgrade. Of course you probably can only do this at the time of the contract renewal.
I mean this, if you are willing to pay full price anyway, why not pay interest free payments? But, if you are eligible for an upgrade then this makes no sense. And I don't mean HTC Sense.

I'm sorry but this is so foolish. We have four phones on our plan, two of them are the $10 options and they never upgrade their phones that basically gives me the option to buy a new phone every 8 months.
The only people I see buying into this are wealthy people, with bad math skills, that have teenaged children complaining for the newest phone.

No, it's not an amazing value. It would be an amazing value ONLY IF the phone service prices dropped. The phone services have a $20 subsidy built in already, so essentially you're paying twice for the subsidy. What a joke AT&T. Only stupid customers will fall for this.
