Any other Sprint employees trying to get an Evo 3D? I'm a B2B rep for a preferred dealer and I got the same old story they gave everyone last year with the Evo. EMPLOYEES MUST WAIT!
Anyway around this? buying the phone at full price? Just started at Sprint 2 months ago so I'm not that familiar with how this stuff works yet.

You are an employee? Radio Shack didnt ask to change you plans?
Im on SERO-P and trying to figure out where i can upgrade aside from Sprint.
I am sure if you go into the shack or BB and pay full retail for it they will not question you as to why you want to not have them activateit for you.
It's my understanding that when you call Sprint customer care to activate the phone, they wont put it on your employee plan. I'd consider paying full price but I don't want to get stuck with a $500 phone I can't use.

i'm not 100% positive but I believe they still ask you to change plans online. anyone else have more information on this? this will be my 1st upgrade on an employee plan and i'm just going off the information my co-workers have given me.

I don't know any sprint employee on the SERO plan. Not when you can be on the $20 Free & Clear 3000.
I'm on the $20 plan too.

Thought I saw something on iconnect today to the effect that employees could get the 3d on launch day.

iconnect? not sure what that is lol. like i said, im kinda new and i dont work in a retail location.
from what I remember as a Corp sprint employee, they wouldn't even activate a phone that was on the hold list, even if you bought it outright, pretty much out of luck.

would you mind checking iconnect next time you get a chance? i'd def appreciate it.
I don't think there's anyway around it.. Besides paying full retail..
As of right now, employees can get the Evo 3D on lunch day. Just keep in mind with Sprint, that is subject to change at any moment lol. This is what I got from iConnect and what upper management is saying so far.

I can confirm this, only to the point that the employee that I put my deposit down for the 3d with said he gets his on launch day, just like the rest of us.

hi to all evo 3d xda members i just need i little help with my problem,, this is what happen today,, i buy a htc evo 3d brand new in box but when i tried to activate in sprint store they says is bad esn i buy from craigslist ,, and the same time i call people who flash sprint phones to boost and they say they do for 190$ first month free i see a few evos flashed to boost and works good but i dont know if evo 3d works the same or if this people can really do it ,, thanks for the advices in advance
It is possible to do, but it's also illegal. I suspect you wont be getting much advice from these forums.
Maybe search a little in the Evo forums for a guy who used to do it and PM him.
Get your money back for the phone.

You're a victim of Craigslist. Who ever sold it to you must've stole it or something and sold it to you. Get your cash back. Next time call the seller get the hex number then call sprint and check it b4 you buy

Contrary to popular belief, it isn't illegal. What's illegal is copying somebody else ESN/MEID and stealing their service with it. Copying an ESN/MEID that you already own is not illegal.

Hate to state the obvious, but contact the person you got it from and get your $ back. Tell them that they have 24hrs to contact you before call the local PD. The EVO 3D is well into felony theft levels. Probably not something they'll want to mess with.
Who in their RIGHT mind would buy a phone off of CL w/ out first calling to make sure it can be activated??
Just do what they did put it back on craigslist and sell it to some unsuspecting person. Just kidding don't do that.

I'm damn near ready to flash my evo 3d and my other evo to boost since Sprint still has no useful 4g in the Metro Detroit area.

Hello,
CL really is the Wild West. Every Phone I have sold, including my EVO 4G, I have urged the interested party to meet me at the Sprint Store and Activate it right then and there. For those who choose Metro PCS (who seem as though the will Activate anything) or Boost, at least they know they can go back to Sprint if they choose.
I am really sorry for both 3VO Buyers getting stolen or somehow misappropriated Phones. It makes it that much harder for legitimate Sellers to get their Phones Sold.
Cheers,
JJ
does it have a bad esn cause its been lost or stolen or just shows not clean for activation and attached to someones account? you can check on checkesnfree.com if its been reported lost or stolen PM me i may be albe to help you out.
still noone able to verify it can be flashed to boost yet?

maybe he just could not keep up his sprint bill!!
so either help this guy out with the info he needs or don't post useless information i love xda but there are a bunch a wannabe
lawyers&prosecutors on here always assuming some one
is trying to do something illegal,selling a phone that
sprint has blocked the esn on for not fulfilling
their contract is not illegal,and if the truth be told the OP knew this and does not want to be or can not be with sprint and just wants to flash the phone to a cheaper unlimited plan,so if you are going to post in his thread at least try to
be of some help instead of insisting he return it!!

That is incorrect. Even if you own the ESN that you want to change it to, it is illegal. That doesn't mean people don't do it, but it's still illegal. Modifying that part of the phone is a federal offense.
ok I know changing/mimic'ing an esn is illegal as per the fcc regulations but do you actually "change" the esn when flashing to another carrier that doesn't use contracts and whatnot? cricket, boost, etc.
hey guys i recently bought an evo 3d and i want to know hot to flash to boost and transfer info from my evo 4g.... can anyone help, is it possible???
I have an Evo 3D on my plan right now and i bought the evo 4g lte full price.
Has anyone with an indirect sales maker plan , employee plan or third party employee plan been able to get this phone activated ?
If so i would be interested to find out how. Going through my companies rep is not possible for me at this time.
I tried online and it ask me to change my plan
i tried calling in but could not get to anyone who could do a simple ESN swap.
any suggestions.
Thank you.
Don't you have to call corporate for that?
via HTC EVO 4G LTE.
I did it call *2 from Ur current line it will take u to employee services which they must change the 10 dollar plan which is 4g to the ten dollar one for lte

Were you able to get it on your Sero/Emp Plan? Kinda curious. It was communicated that they wouldnt allow it on 3rd party/retailer plans for the first couple weeks, I lucked out since i have a regular consumer plan so i threw that bad boy right on my account at work
A rep offered to use the air rave line for an upgrade, so I bought and paid for a new evo lte.. when I got it I called sprint to activate and they told me no and that I have to send it back because the rep wasn't allowed to do that... any suggestions? I already have the phone...

Call them back and tell them to activate. If they say the rep shouldn't have done that, tell them that is not your problem. You were told you could, you bought the phone, you received the phone, and now Sprint needs to stand behind what the rep said.
They give you more run around, tell them to transfer you to a manager. If that doesn't help, get on phone with retentions.
Replace the old phone with the lte on the main line.

Are you unable to activate it from your account on the website?
Ya I agree with these guys. Wether they should have done this or not means nothing. Don't even bother talking to them. Activate it online yourself. It is very easy just sign in to sprint and it walks u through it. Doesn't take any time at all. If u don't have a login just sign up for one. I never talk to sprint when activating a new phone.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Tell Sprint word for word this:
Please just go ahead and activate the phone on my line, like I was originally told.
Otherwise, just go ahead and cancel my account right now. I've had WAY too many issues with Sprint as is. I don't even mind paying the early termination fees.
They'll jump on your dink(lol) and do anything you want. Maybe even offer you a few food coupons and a trip to Vegas.
Also.. why not just go back to that same Rep who sold it to you and say "here. Do it now."

I don't think you can activate this phone online, the old data feature code has to be removed and the lte code has to be added. Then after that is done swapping/activating should work.

The fourth rep finally activated it for me without any questions.. you can try... But its taken me more time then its worth to do.
Can't do it online it won't work. Hands free didn't work because of sero.

That is insane. I do that ALL the time!!
I manage the Sprint account at our company of 100+ Sprint devices, we just borrow upgrades from what ever device has one available and activate it on which ever line we want.
Also to sweeten the deal. one of the guys here has an airave on his personal account. He was not available for an upgrade yet but he went to Best Buy to pre-order the EVO LTE and the guy told him his phone is not yet available but his Airave is and they could use that line to activate it.. and now he has a EVO LTE with no problems from Sprint.
Honestly, just call Sprint. Tell them you want to activate a new phone on your line. ALL you need to tell them is the MEID HEC and nothing else. You don't need to tell them where you got the phone. If they give you trouble ask politely to speak to their manager and if the manager doesn't help say this "can I please talk to the retention department" the retention department is the people who are paid to keep you as a customer.
Just got back from Verizon in Rochester NY. A representative from Samsung was there showing off the s4. I had about 5 min hands on time with it. Absolutely amazing. Official launch date for Verizon is may 23rd. They will be doing preorders a couple weeks in advance. Price will be 199.99 with 2 year activation. You better believe ill be preordering it.

I asked the Verizon dude about that. He said he cant speak for staples, but he, the gm of that particular Verizon, and that Samsung rep guaranteed me that verizons official launch date is may 23rd, accepting preorders a few weeks in advance. Just watch, and remember my post.

I actually went there to buy an sgs3 because I've been eligible for an upgrade since November. The guys said that if i came there earlier in the morning wanting to buy the sgs3, they would have told me to buy it because before the rep from Samsung showed up, they didn't know exactly when they were gonna get it. So I'm lucky i went when i did, because if i bought the s3 just to find out i could get the s4 on the 23rd, i would have been kicking myself in the ass.

Samsungs PR released today states it will be on Verizon by the end of April. Looks like they are keeping their reps out of the loop!
The Galaxy S 4 is optimized for powerful performance on the nation’s fastest networks and will be available on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless as well as U.S. Cellular, Cricket and C Spire starting during April. Additionally, consumers can find the Galaxy S 4 at Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile, Costco, Radio Shack, Sam’s Club, Staples, Target and Wal-Mart. Exact pricing and retail availability will be announced by each of the carriers and retailers in the coming weeks.

It's a poorly worded press release. My guess is that the release meant that it will be available on those 7 carriers, some of which will start in April.
@VZWnews @VerizonWireless @Verizon I still have unlimited internet after 4/21 can I buy new galaxy s4 cell using the new 12 month payment plan that's effective on 4/21 without upgrading to the 200sub?

Should be the same as buying for full price. They just allow you to put the rest of the cost into your monthly payments. Would be extremely low of them to force you off unlimited since you're not extending your contract that way. I don't even know if they're allowed to do that. But yes I highly recommend calling a Verizon Wireless rep and confirming on this before doing that. Verizon is so sensitive about unlimited data plans now that even the smallest change could give them a reason to force you off. If you do get confirmation be sure to let us know.
I tweeted them asking them the same question in 6 different ways so if I don't hear anything soon its cause there avoiding the question..
