Most people know about this, but I want to remind anyone who is preordering. Walked into bestbuy this afternoon, was told by the cell phone tech that if you preorder the phone, you get $50 off the price, then when you buy it, you get a $50 gift card. I also am gonna trade my beat up OG EVO for $50. You can use the gift card towards the purchase of the phone, so that makes the phone cost $50!!!, then whatever activation and sales tax. Looking forward to getting my phone next week, and now even happier that I'm not breaking the bank.
Also, if you preordered from sprint, it takes about 10 minutes of being nice on the phone, and they will cancel your other preorder no problem. Just told them about the great deal, and they were like, hell, I would take that deal too!!!

I mentioned this in another post. I'm either getting the phone for free if we can use gift card for pre ordering the phone or I'm paying $50 if I can't. Either way its a heck of a deal

Yeah, it's all kind of weird because a lot of us (myself included) preordered at best buy, and were told that best buy isn't doing the 50 gift card ting this time around. We didn't exchange any cash with best buy and were just given a reservation sheet of paper.

That was my understanding, and that makes the phone $50, right?
Yup, $50 after all is said and done. I don't know what that other guy was saying about it being $0. I got RZ certs to, so i can finally use those too.

What do you get if you trade in your evo 3d?
Edit: Wrong thread! Sorry.
unfortunately every best buy isn't doing that, all the ones I went to, the price is 199 and 50 bucks down... guess u all are lucky!!!!
Awesome deal. One of my line is illegible for upgrade but its on old plan. If i go to best buy can they use that lines upgrade and port over the phone to my premium line?

You might be able to answer this. I did a preorder at best buy put down 50$ in the form of a GC. Since you mention it isn't required, any chance I could return the GC ( i buy mostly from amazon).
Also I did the preorder with wirefly, hence the reason for wanting to return GC.

I would've felt the same way. No way I would've been able to turn in my OG Evo. Could have kept it around as a backup phone, etc. Too much of a friend to just turn it in for a measly $50.
But Lucky for me (or Unlucky) I ended up dropping my OG Evo into a lake on Sunday, where it promptly sunk to the dark deep bottom.

i work for bestbuy. you will get a gift card at the time of purchase, the system will prompt for it. and you can use it to buy the phone. the reservation does not cost anything, they are suppose to override the 50$ cost.
I am due for an upgrade. I pre-ordered my Evo through the Wirefly Friends and Family website for 119.99 no tax and free shipping. I have 5 lines, all out of contract, I called Sprint and told them I did not want to pay an activation fees they gave me a 100 credit for exteding the primary line contract for 1 year with out losing the 150 upgrade credit and they also gave me 25 credits on the remaining 4 lines without extending those contracts. I also plan to trade in my current EVO thru the Sprint buy back for 70. I also plan to call Wirefly about getting the 36 activation fee waived on their end. I think i made out pretty good on this deal.

Problem with this that it takes 3 billing cycle if you send your phone in. If you take to store, it's immediate. I'd rather get the trade in immediately and just buy from any of the stores that gives $150.
Will try ebay or craigslist first so I won't have to pay at all.
Will Target do MIR or instan discounts on contract extensions?
My phone is pretty beat up and but works. I dont have the original charger or battery but i have a charger/batt. how picky are they?

After my switch to Sprint went very well this week, I wanted to share some advice with those who plan to switch. For those switching to Sprint for the EVO 3D, here's advice on how to get an excellent deal.
On June 23, the day before the EVO 3D releases, they have two deals expiring. The first offers a $125 credit to anyone who ports from another carrier to Sprint. The second gives an extra 300 minutes to anyone who gets the individual Everything Data 450 plan. That's 300 extra minutes every month for the lifetime of the plan, by the way. All this expires the day before the EVO 3D comes out because they don't want people using these deals on it.
Two solutions.
a) Go to a Sprint store, and tell them you want to preorder the EVO 3D but want to port your number over today and use a temporary phone until you can get an EVO 3D. Try to convince them, it's usually not hard with a good manager.
b) If you can't convince them, get a plan with an EVO 4G today, then return it on June 24 for the EVO 3D. There may be a $35 restocking fee, but you still get $90 off (and, if you got the Everything Data 450 plan, you get an extra 300 minutes every month for your plan's lifetime).
I went with A, and now I get unlimited data/texting/mobile-to-mobile with 750 mobile-to-landline minutes, all for $70 + tax per month. I'm on a Sanyo flip phone for two weeks, after which I get my EVO 3D.
Anyone else switching to Sprint?
I'm currently on tmobile thinking about doing this same thing. Only thing is my preorder is with Best Buy. I wonder and hoping, are they offer these discounts as well?
R.I.P hd2 hello Evo 3d
yeah thats what i did got unlimited data/texting and the 125 dollar credit and no fees to pay. just using my old phone till the new one comes in, cant wait
I have a pre-pay plan at T-mobile. Does that count?
was planning on doing the same thing. I was going to wait until a few days before the 24th release to do the switch like on the 21st-22nd. Just get the Nexus 4G which is $199 and then go back on the 24th and do the switch with your evo 3d preorder.
Have you heard anything else about a restocking fee? I thought there wasn't any fee at all?
Was hoping someone else did this first, they didn't say anything about switching the phones and messing up the $125 dollar credit? Also did you do it at a Sprint store, BB, RS?

I also got a mailer saying that Sprint is offering a $50 visa gift card for new acts. AAAND when I went to best buy they were doing some promo on double points for new smartphone acts.

I'm pretty sure that BestBuy can't give you the $125 credit. I went into the Sprint store last week and they said that the $125 credit is to combat with the deals that Bestbuy and other stores put out there.
Sounded like you could only get the credit directly from Sprint. I could be wrong though.

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Corrections and things to consider:
-the Everything Data 450 plan + 300 bonus minute plan expires 7/23, not 6/23.
-Smartphone credit is $125, dumbphone credit is only $50. So if you activate a dumbphone on or before 6/23 and then switch to a smartphone after 6/23, you may only get $50.
-I called Sprint last week and was told that a new phone activation is required to get either credit, meaning I couldn't activate my extra previously activated Hero on or before 6/23, then buy the Evo 3d and still get the credit.
-For new customers and customers adding new lines of service, the $35 restocking fee is waived. All others may get charged the fee.
-I haven't explored this further since I don't plan on doing it but existing Premier customers adding new lines may be able to order the Evo 3d on 6/21, and with overnight shipping, be able to activate it on or before 6/23 to get the $125.
I'm porting a line to my account so I've tried researching every scenario to the best of my ability, or lack thereof
I'm switching from T-Mobile and was originally going to go with Verizon for the iphone but I found this deal for the EVO 3D with Sprint and it sounds more up my alley price wise. I live in downtown Boston so I think both carriers have decent service there. Do you guys think I should go with this Sprint deal? What do you think of the EVO 3D vs iphone?
Here's the deal I got in my email from Studentrate....
We are pleased to offer great discounts on HTC EVO 3D to qualified StudentRate.com members.
For New Customers:
$20.00 off regular price ($199.00 regular price with new contract)
15%-23% Discounts off of Monthly Recurring Service Fees available to qualified members
Click for more info on the Sprint HTC EVO 3D Deal
hell yeah comes to mind
I actually got my 3D this way. They send you through Amazon Wireless and then after confirming your order number, billing address and account number with Studentrate they take care of the rest. I actually spoke to them today and confirmed all the info so they said I should see my discount in 1-2 billing cycles. We will see...
I say yes cuz the $20 will cover part of your tax (if any) and then the discounts on monthly bills, trust me it helps. I have corporate discount of 25% monthly bill and with 2 lines of evo, it saves quite a bit.
Well if you're looking to save money a 15%-23% discount off a monthly bill would definitely help you out. Plus I think Sprint already has a pretty low cost plans compared to Verizon. I think you should go for it, maybe I will too haha.
The 3DVO is a beast, the I(wanna-be-a)Phone is a chump... I have a simple mantra, if it starts with i, do not buy.

It sounds like a good deal and would say go for it, but what is studentrate? You go through them to get the discounts?
I think it's a discount site for college students but they have a bunch of like wireless stuff
Will this discount apply to any Sprint plan?
I think it applys on the Everything Data plans. I saw this posted on their forum
I just ordered the EVO 3D through your deal OP and it was only $144.99 on Amazon Wireless. I'm not sure how long it'll be at that price but if you're still on the fence I'd try to get it now while it's on sale.
Is there any way to just apply for the discount itself? I just bought a Evo 3D but through Sprint.
I went from tmo to sprint and love it! They give you $125 per smart phone line to switch and I got my evo 3d for $149 and an evo 4g for $24.99 with free shipping free activation free everything accept tax! Go for it!

I don't think so. You have to be buying a new phone, upgrading, or adding a line.
EVO 3D looks like an awesome phone, but right now I'm with Verizon. My contract is ending soon so I could switch over. You get a $125 if you come over from another carrier? 15-23% off my bill would be a major help too. I wish there was some way to test out the EVO 3D for like a week to see if I even like it.

I think I'm going to go with the EVO 3D, but now do I want to use that deal I posted to get it through Amazon, paying only $144.99 and getting a 23% discount off my monthly bill, or I guess I can use this Sprint Deal, the phone would be $199.99 but I could get the $125 port credit and still get the 23% discount. I'm torn because do I want to pay less now, or get a refund later? I guess the port credit expires tomorrow too.
oh man, looks like I missed the port credit. Guess my best bet now would be to go through the amazon deal. Do you know if there is an expiration date?

I didn't buy mine through that site but I did chat with Sprint online and they gave me a 23% student discount just by giving them my school name and student ID. I should be seeing that reflected on my next bill.
So I will be buying this phone cash no upgrade. Where should I go? I see it on sprint for 550 but everywhere else has the non upgrade price higher. I would have thought bb would see it cheaper than sprint.
Do you think any of the sprint stores will even have any on the 18th lol.

I believe I saw you could pre-order it from Sprint with out going on contract.
Pretty much the best place to buy it out right would be from the carrier if you want it new. Everywhere else is pretty much $100+ more out right.

but if your trying to stay away from the internet. AAFES aka The Exchange, but you have to be in or know someone who is in the military
If you are buying it out right because you are not due for an upgrade for a while keep this in mind, I was going to cancel my contract early then restart with a new 2 year agreement to get the upgrade price and when I told a Sprint rep that that is what I wanted to do, he said that if I pay $45 that it will give me an early upgrade elegibility and so I did it and I preordered the Evo and now wait for tomorrow for the release might wanna see if you can do that instead of payin all that money to get it off contract. This is legit at least in my case, I don't know if it work for everyone but it did for me. Worth a shot!
But keep in mind it will restart your 2 year agreement....your choice!
I am eligible for a upgrade. I just dont want to be on contract. With all the stuff Sprint has been taking away and them rolling out LTE Alot more could change soon.
I have been with them for 14 years and I have put up with there slow data speeds for the unlimited thing. But My GF has t-mobil and her speeds blow sprint away in my area (3g and 4g). On top of that she pays about 30 less then me a month. She only gets 5gb of data but I use wifi a lot and never really go over 3gb... Sooooo It might be worth it to change...
I'm planning on buying as an upgrade, but I missed pre-ordering so I'm going to buy from a physical store hopefully on release day. Anybody know if all sprint stores are going to have the phone available to buy on shelves? Or would it be better to try buying at Best Buy...?
If you buy the phone full price you'll pay 550. If you do a contract, get the phone for 200, cancel the first month and pay 350 etf, you've basically paid the same amount. Might as well go on contract
That's true .... I have been with them so long I forgot about etf..... so should I get it at sprint or best buy? I have also bought with sprint...

Evo lte will not work on t mobiles network from what I read. They are different frequencies.
**** Apple, I won't buy anymore of their products. They delayed the release of a better phone.
Well if the lte does not roll out like they say it will... Or they dump unlimited data.. I will pay the etf and then sell the phone on eBay... That way I can get on tmobil or ever is cheaper... My bill is like 130 a month on sprint and my gf pays around 100 after everything... Now that only 5gb of data but still more than enough for me...

What do you get with 130? With mobile to mobile minutes being free, I barely get to 100 on my plan and pay about 80 a month
I am impatiently waiting to get my hands on this beast! I have made friends with the store manager at my local Radio Shack. He said that they could match any price,anywhere! At one point, Wirefly had them for $119 but sadly that's gone. Bestbuy has the $199 plus the gift card. I have $200 in hand. Where shall I go?
Went to the Sprint store the other day. Got talking to a rooter sales guy. Sprint has a buy back program. He said $99 for the EVO 3D (I paid ~$55), $55 for my iPhone 3G (not even worth having it's so slow, my 4 year old would rather play with a broken nextel then the working iPhone), plus the $150 for new 2 year upgrade agreement and the $200 istant savings puts me right around $60. Hopefully I can use my preferred members discount to knock off the activation fee.
Walmart for 149.99, that's probably the cheapest place that has the phone in stock right now. If you count the gift card on Best Buy then same deal.
Best buy, $50 gc + 5000($100) rewardzone points with 2yrs agreement of course. Even less if you have a trade in phone.

Thats what I plan to do, but at my BB they told me their running a promo if you trade in an EVO its a $50 card plus value of the phone and I also have the $50 for the phone freedom....So -$50-100, if all goes as they say I'll let you know in the morning
I was considering BB but since the phone is no longer available for pre-order I'd miss out on that $50. I wish I hadn't trusted WireFly so much and just pre-ordered as a backup plan. Now I'm trying to decide if waiting another week is worth paying $100 for it or not.
I haven't seen where you get $50 for activating a new phone and I know the $50 pre-order GC is gone now.. But if that activation one is good I basically pay $150 OOP and get $100 in credit on my RZ account bringing it down to $50 after everything. Not bad..

Isn't that the deal that was available for preorders? I think the OP is referring to what's the best deal now since the phone is technically available in stores as of today. I'm still trying to figure it out myself. And as another thread said you cant combine the best buy reward zone points AND get the $50 gift card. I think walmart $150 sounds like the best no hassle deal as of now.
