So they gave you an early upgrade? Why? Is it your birthday?

How long you been with Sprint? Im gonna call them see if i can get the Evo LTE or SGIII Mine is up in 1 yr
I have another friend that has been less time than me with Sprint.. her contract is over in October but Sprint sent her a letter saying she was eligible for upgrade/discount or whatever.

What the... :O Only a year?!
1. Did a full year pass?
2. A year & some months?
3. or within the date/week of the letter, with that day/bill period, marked your service year?
EDIT: This is the $75 upgrade right? I mean no way...

So essentially they are telling you this... You can buy out your contract for $165 and then get to pay $199 for the LTE. Congrats, you're a winner.

It's there buy out program, because they got rid of there premier customer rewards my early upgrade is $115.00 plus phone is $199.00 so far so worse case I'm paying $314.00 already preordered 2 from Best Buy
Just seems like a crafty way of recouping there losses....I use to get yearly upgrades. I called and complained, but to no avail.

One yearly upgrade has been extended to all those affected by change, but only on main line. They have a 20 month cycle for upgrades now. My theory os ir has something to do with iPhone being more available to customers because this change went into effect shortly before launch un September.

EVO 3d how to get a upgrade in contract

Ok, so I have been on Sprint now for about 3 months now, I want a EVO 3d bad since sense 3.0 isn't very smooth on my EVO 4G. How would I go about with talking Sprint to let me upgrade for $200? Since I have not been with them for that long.

well since u have been with them for more than 30 days you have nothing to leverage with. u have to wait or open a new line

To even attempt to get an early upgrade, you need to be at least 6 months into your contract.

If your wife has been with sprint for 10 years then she might be able to get the EVO 3d for you haha.

EVO 3D trade in value?!

Wow, Sprint really nuked their trade-in program. I was considering buying an EVO 4G LTE at full price (I am not up for an upgrade yet) in exchange for trading in my EVO 3D. But they are only giving $90 for the 3D! Wow. I traded in my EVO for $200 when I got the 3D. Did they gut the program?
I also considered Radio Shack. I know that last year they were also taking $200 for the EVO. But they are only offering $13! Insane.
It's valued for $120 at radioshack
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Should've bought your phone from bestbuy. They have the best buyback.
Up to 1 year you can get 40% back from price before carrier discounts (that's $280) and 30% back after one year.
So I'm planning on using my wife's upgrade on the Evo LTE which will be -$200 but then selling the phone back so I get +$280, ending up with $80 of money I can spend on whatever I want.
I basically got $80 for buying the Evo 3D...

When I traded in my OG Evo for the 3D on 7/23/2011, they were giving $150.00 since they were still selling them at the time and were going to sell for the immediate future. Since the Evo 3D is already EOL for Sprint, they really don't need them so they are priced low.
The 3Ds are still selling on Ebay for $150.00+.

$150 is probably what I got, not $200. I am just misremembering.
i can't post links yet, but check the best buy mobile phone page & look up their buy-back program. It looks like you could get around $100 from Best Buy even if you didn't buy it from them originally...

Its better to sell this phone solo than Sprint buyback.
$150 is a decent rate for a stock, great condition 3D,
+$$ with any extra hardware (SD/Cases/MHL).

Just sold my 3D for 150 and that was mint condition. Tried getting 185. People were offering like 100. Had it on craigslist and a few other places for weeks. Had one offer for 150 initially but turned down cause figured I would get more. Should have taken it and saved time. Oh well. 150 was best I could get.

best buy
2nd for buying it from Best Buy. Buyback program is quite handy for those who would upgrade often. I can get at least 150 for mine and I've had it since launch.
Feh, I don't get an upgrade until November. Might as well wait for ICS.
I think it's just this phone. It wasn't that big of a hit and the value on it isn't really good. There are Evo 4G's selling on CL around here for just as much as the 3D's are. When I sold mine I wasn't getting any offers more than like $140 or so because that's what everyone else around here was selling em for.

My contract was up April 2013, but like others I called sprint and paid $115(Which will be on next months bill) to move my upgrade date to May so I can get the phone...I didnt think it would work but it did!

Ealry upgrade?

Last year when the 3vo was announced there was a big hype about calling a certain sprint number to get an early upgrade by just asking. I did this and it worked perfectly. Has anyone done that this year for the 4G LTE? I know they were going to introduce a "buy your upgrade" program but I haven't heard if it's in place or not. Any info would be great.
I have the same question. Basically it says I'm available for an upgrade after April 1st 2013. What are my best options for getting out of the contract so I can upgrade to another phone the cheapest way possible?

The Buy Your Upgrade program is how I am getting my EVO LTE. I'm not due for an upgrade until October, but after complaining about a few things (that I made up lol) they told me about the program. It cost me $45 bucks to make my line eligible. I figured it was worth the $45 bucks not to have to wait until October

Well, I am upgrading my daughters line that has an EVO Shift on it. She has had 3 of them, all had problems. I told them this one was having problems too and I was tired of dealing with it. Needless to say she won't be getting the new EVO I was planning on giving her my 3D, but I'm one of those who flashed the VM firmware, so I don't know now.
By the way, they will be released soon. This was on my order status page today:
Status: Thanks for pre-ordering. You are one step closer to getting your phone. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information. We will do our best to get it to you before others get a glimpse on Friday, May 18. For questions, visit sprint.com/preorder.

There is so much wrong here. I don't know what to say.
I had to read it 3 times to get it.
But yeah, the spending limit might auto trigger that shut off. Once that's gone, you'll be better off.

I just did an early (3-1-2013) for one of my lines. Had to pay $50 bucks, plus give them my Google Nexus Phone (which they gave me $28 for it) and I bought the S3, out the door $264. I was going to buy a new/used one on CL for $400, so that was a killer deal to me....btw I just did it yesterday adn I do have a biz account
The giving them your phone part is the real kick in the nuts. To Hell with that.
You pay the early upgrade fee to make up for the remainder of the subsidy and still have to give the phone up, they are smoking some good crack.
