So I have Verizon Wireless and I am eligible for an upgrade now.
I want to pick up this phone and I am looking to spend about 199.99 with a new 2yr activation with the renewal of my contract.
I am trading in my old HTC Rezound at best buy which is ROOTED and FLASHED for $50 plus best buy is offering a $50 gift card towards the purchase of any Samsung Mobile phone I am told.
Does anyone recommend any other tips or suggestions possibly before purchasing and renewing my contract with Verizon and/or purchasing the phone at best buy?
I would greatly appreciate it thanks!
I look forward to possibly start making this THREAD my new home.

You know you could get more if you sold the rezound. Also in the next week you could get the s4 in 32GB version you may want to think about that. Buying from best buy is better then at VZW they price match Amazon and wirefly sometimes. I know because they have done it for me. And you get 30 days return and exchange. I also don't think they charge an upgrade fee which is $35 at VZW.

There is still an upgrade fee that gets tacked on to the first months bill. You also only now get 15 days to exchange or return (unless you're platinum) but still have to do so within Verizon's 14 day grace period to get the upgrade back. Their protection plan is good though despite what some people say... Quick unlimited replacements with no deductible and the majority of employees couldn't tell the phone was rooted even if the damn thing was stuck in the cm boot loop so no worries there

Yeah my phone is rooted and I can't sell it because some of the hardware has gone bogus and malfunctions. So HOPEFULLY when I trade it in at best buy they don't give me grief for it being rooted and flashed.

I'm glad it's coming soon. I'm wondering what benefits would buying from best buy vs verizon.
I am actually looking to buy two.
One as an upgrade for myself. The other for my girlfriend, porting her number over from sprint.
Upgrade for me I know either will be fine. But I am unsure how well BBY can port numbers and if it would be better dealing with verizon directly.
Best Buy no MIR (I guess none at Verizon too), larger selection of cases and accesories. Best Buy still has a machine that can transfer contacts and photos (e.g. if you're not coming from a prior google phone w/ backed up contacts). If you want protection best buy has a 9.99 a month option, covers accidental damage, battery replacement, hardware issues (but not theft) no deductible while verizon's insurance is cheaper, has a deductible. Free enrollment right now with the buy back program.
Cons: limited stock, generally not sent as many units as verizon (highly suggest you pre-order), some people just hate best buy and refuse to shop there. some accessories might be more expensive
As far as porting goes, just bring in your girlfriends bill or account number and best buy will have no problems porting over her sprint number. just make sure she is fully out of contract vs eligible for an upgrade. Otherwise she will pay an etf with sprint.
Thanks for the info!
I don't care much for best buy either but will shop there when deals are good.
She will have a etf regardless but with her contant dropped calls it is worth it.
Anyway, I don't usually load up on accessories. When I do it is usually an extended battery and holdster from seidio. I love seido.
One question.... can best buy bill equipment to my account if I pre-order?
I'd like to have one billed on my account for my upgrade... I asked a best buy rep.... said not possible. So VZW for at least one of them
Yea they cannot bill through Verizon. As far as extended batteries go, the one that is currently sold for the evo probably wont work

just activate it on that line then call vzw and have them move the phones to the correct lines... I had to do this for my incredible... you just have to call and then hit *228 and reprogram both phones after they correct the esn numbers...
If i have an early upgrade (upgrade after 13 months on a 2-year contract) can i buy the phone at a 2-year contract price from best buy?

Well no. Sometimes ebay sellers have a "surplus" of new phones and try to clear them out at a high-midrange price before the demand goes down. If it were me, I'd go the ebay route. If there's a problem with it, ebay guarantees returns and all that. I never buy directly from a person without a middleman.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I bought my Rezound new, sealed in the box from a Verizon employee who won it at work in a contest. They already had one and needed some cash.
I paid $200.00 cash for it (after ESN was verified, etc.)
Might be the BEST 200 bucks I have ever spent.
So back to the question, watch Craigslist and have the seller meet you at at VZW store to verify the ESN. You might not find NIB, but you should be able to get a good used one for a very reasonable price.
What he said. ^^^^

I have to agree with chef Thomas I've bought a whole lot of phones on eBay brand new, around a lil over 400 sounds right for that market.
I'd go that route or craigslist local. Sometimes there's similar deals in your local area and you can do the deal in person just get the ESN ahead of time, and check it then and also check it at time of purchase.
There's a tool for that by the way I don't have a link handy but can send you one.
If you buy a phone from.an individual make sure when you send them the money it clearly states it's a purchase of a phone, because you can dispute the payment and get your money back but if its marked as a gift your stuck like chuck, it used to be that way at least.

It's been a long grueling last year with my OG Evo and it's time to part ways. I've always been and HTC supporter and I will continue to support their product. I will be getting an EVO LTE but paying the full $199 just seems outlandish especially now that ATT and T-Mobile dropped the One X to $99.99. I have some other options rather than buying directly from Sprint but I wanted to know other people's experience. Radioshack and Wirefly will ship one to my house, FedEx next day (which means I wouldn't get it till Tuesday), for $149.99 even. I was wanting to know any drawbacks to purchasing from these two providers rather than going through Sprint. I do have full insurance through Asurion so accidental damage isn't my concern but more of what happens if there is a manufactures defect? Also, anybody heard any news of Sprint reducing the price so they can compete? I would hate to pay $199 and then have Sprint drop it to $99 in the next month or so.
I could also go to Best Buy and get it for $149.99. I think this is going to be my first option considering my patience with my OG is running really thin. I am also selling my great condition OG with a ton of stuff so if anyone want to shoot me an offer, I would definitely think about it before posting on eBay.
It's too bad you didn't get it last week bestbuy had it for $99 for a week. I just got mine this pay Friday paid $104 out the door

Ya I just checked and it is only for brand new lines. I need to upgrade so it would be $99 which isn't bad. I may just have to do that. I may walk in to best buy and see if they will honor last weeks price because I'm technically not eligible until Sept 1st and I've tried everything to get my date pushed up. Once again I am upgrading and not starting a new line or contract. The prices vary drastically.

I think that the most important part for you is to get evo with 1.12 hboot. If you go to the big stores or sprint corporate store you may not find it. You need to go to small stores that sell sprint phones, that way you may get lucky.

Yah absolutely. The problem is small stores that sell Sprint have to abide by Sprint's pricing. I fell like if I order one online, it will come boxed and I can do whatever from there. I'm sure there will be a LazyPanda updated for 1.15 but who knows when. Having radio S-OFF isn't the biggest deal to me as long as I can get root. It sucks not being able to sideload firmware but what are you going to do about HTC and their bootloaders. I think I'm going to go through Amazon. It seems to be the only place to get the upgrade price of $99.99.

I think your logic is flawed here. You get the upgrade by signing a contract. So let's say you do this and get the iPhone 5 and sell it for 500 bux. You get you supposed cash for ****s and giggles or to get a new device, that's cool too. Now what happens when a surprise must have device drops in four months. You've spent your money and now are also still locked into contract. Person who bought you iPhone 5 made out like a bandit while your stuck with **** all.
My advice, upgrade to the phone you want or buy your phone outright and get off contracts. Don't let some shmuck on CL make out with deal cuz you want a little party cash.

Im interested in the answer here as well. The only way I can find to make it cheaper is to go T-Mobile on their $30 monthly plan - http://goo.gl/dNLll
It gets pretty cheap compared to your base sprint plan pretty quick going that route.

Not true, they may tell you this at sprint but as long as you activate a new or upgraded phone on the line its supposed to go on you can immediately call back n switch it to another line or off lines. I've done it dozens of times. As long as a phone stays on the line your good, only has to be new phone for a sec to trip the account.

Just my personal belief in not signing a 2 year contract to use a service. I can walk away at any time in those 2 years and not be stuck with an ETA and can also come back as I please. Also you pay a high premium for that phone when it's subsidized.
I just feel it's better to have the option to leave when/if you want.. Guess I shouldn't have said "Never" as I was pushing my thoughts on people. I should have worded it a little different. If you can avoid to purchase the phone full price that's the way to go so you're not locked in and locked down for 2 years.

it costs $580, for new and existing customers.
with well qualified credit or over 2 year tenure you can put $100 down and pay the rest over $20 installments for $24 months.
If you're on an older plan and think that sounds crazy visit your local T-Mobile store so they can explain it fully because it's alot better than an upgrade used to be.
Its not crazy considering a famil plan is $110 for for 5 lines now. Tmo rocks

If you have good credit it will be 99 down and 20 a month to pay it off. If your credit isn't as good it will be 280 down but only 12.50 a month to pay it off. If you are on a grandfathered plan, at most you might be paying the same thing monthly that you are now, but usually it ends up being cheaper than you are paying now and you get a lot more for your money.

If you stay on classic, which we did because we have killer data deals for being customers forever, you can do upgrade pricing at Wal-Mart or Costco. It's not at Costco yet, but it's $150 for new contracts or upgrades.
The value plan seems to usually be cheaper, but if we can get the one for $50 (it's $150+tax and then the $100 rebate from htc) on a couple of our lines it's worth it to us to pay an extra $10/month.

If you are talking about the HTC phone trade in program, be wary. That program is extremely strict and if they deny your phone for any reason, you get an adjusted rebate or 0 - either way, you just gave up your phone by sending it in. In most cases, a CL, Swappa, or eBay sale would be much better.

Thanks, I tried to read all the fine print and we're sending in an old, rooted G1 for my wife so I'm not too worried, but now I'm rethinking my S3. I prob could sell it myself for more than the $210 they're offering.

S3s in great condition sell very well - usell quoted me 198 for my 16GB and you can usually bump that up 15-25% on a CL sale.

They go for much higher than that on eBay. It's the best place to sell it, all the other guys are middle men who take a cut and just list it in eBay

If you stay on classic, which we did because we have killer data deals for being customers forever, you can do upgrade pricing at Wal-Mart or Costco. It's not at Costco yet, but it's $150 for new contracts or upgrades.
The value plan seems to usually be cheaper, but if we can get the one for $50 (it's $150+tax and then the $100 rebate from htc) on a couple of our lines it's worth it to us to pay an extra $10/month.

Was looking foward to getting it at Costco until the rep informed me today that they won't be selling the T-Mo One. At least for now.
