I see so many people still saying they are unable to get the evo's they want so I am posting this thread to try to help. I work for a sprint store and I have plenty of EVO's on hand. If you need one or more I am able to ship them to you usually within 2 days. If you'd like more information let me know.
Will xda get a share of the commissions?
Give the guy a break, he's trying to help out people on here. Let him make his commissions...xda is doing just find I'm sure.
Seems kinda fishy... 1st post... and what Sprint store employee is going to post on a forum soliciting buyers for a phone that's proven very difficult to keep in stock?
Not saying it isn't true, just saying... beware.

Yep, he's doing members here a favor by giving them the heads up. That's helpful enough to the XDA community.

Thank you. I've already found Evo's for me and one brother, but my other brother is trying to find one and I would love a BB, or Sprint employee to tell me they just got some in locally so I can tell him to run over there.
The real help would be to post the store location and phone number so members could call and speak to him legitimately or go there if local.
Here ya go if you need to see that this isnt something fishy. Here is my number 928-458-5286 store number is 928-771-0662 also if you go to ppc geeks and look in the threads my store has already helped people pick up the phone. Of course they have to be able to upgrade or something unless they would like to pick it up for retail price and being able to bill to your acct is the prefered method. We pay shipping also so you dont have to pay shipping prices.

Will you sell the phone for $200 shipped? I don't want to deal with the MIR. You could credit our sprint account $100 and send in the MIR as a batch from the store.

Any store that told you thought is simply holding the phone for an upgrade or new activation since they make a commission on it. It's not a Sprint policy.

For sure?!? What a scam!
Let me know if I can do this
Unfortunatly we are unable in the store to waive the MIR so we would have to charge it. Sorry , and to your bright eyed question we can always sell a phone upgrade no upgrade no matter what just remember though the retail price of an evo with no discounts is $450 before tax. Just to warn you.

I'm fully aware of the $450. I am not eligible for my full upgrade for quite some time and I am trading web design work to a friend, in exchange part of his payment will be an Evo out of contract and then I will still get my upgrade later. This will work right?
Is there any other way of payment since he is going to purchase it for me?
any luck with him?
I'd be very interested in setting up a new Sprint account and acquiring the Evo from you for the usual $199 with 2-yr contract. Do you ship to Hawaii? And is there the usual 30-day trial period, in which I could return it to a local store if need be?
How's about telling us when the Samsung Epic4G will drop?

will they still update the phone even if you do not add the phone to an account. buying it outright.
I'm planning to buy a phone on second shipment. Will these be updated already before the box is even opened.
I'm asking for rooting purposes.
I've heard Sprint is not selling any "cold" phones, which is essentially the phone with no phone or contract attached to it, so unless you are getting it from somewhere else, or the rep was incorrect, what you are trying to buy does not exist as they have to send it with phone/contract information attached

To answer the first question I don't think it will come with the update on it yet. I have heard best buy has done the update when activating though so make sure they don't.

I don't think that is what he meant he was just stating that he is paying full price and not renewing his contract. Sprint is selling a lot of EVO's that way as many have come from the Hero, TP2, or Moment. If that is what you meant than the rep lied to you.
sorry, should have been more clear. I want to buy the phone without putting it on an account. I can't do this from the sprint store even if I pay full price?
my rep installed the ota update after i said not to do anything other then activate it, or sell it to me, in fear of not being able to root afterwards...
so, when he handed it to me and it was updated, i gave it back to him and told him, "i hope you enjoy your new evo, now lets try this again"
started over with new evo and they sold mine to the next guy
turns out you can still root after the ota update, but didnt know that untill after the fact
so for root purposes, it wont matter for now, but if theres another update...
who knows, personally i believe the devs here enjoy the challenge as every update that was put out for the phones so far, it seems 1 dev or another has taken it on and rooted it
just saw our reply... i wouldnt see why they wouldnt, just tell them you want to buy it and you'll set it up yourself, call up a store and ask.
edit... or, shoot i just may sell you mine at cost lol.... JK im keeping this 1
i bought mine outright at best buy.
expensive as hell but i must have epic phone for epic phone is epic.

if you bought the phone out of pocket with no upgrade, it shout be 450 out the door plus taxes, where did you buy this phone, they ripped you off!
bestbuy should pricematch sprint store. even after you bought. bring in an ad. google evo bestbuy pricematch for more info. they sometimes they give you some hassle but according to their policy they should do it. ( It's not a bundle offer, you are buying the phone alone at full retail.)
Lets just say I have to return this thing to the Sprint store, specifically because BestBuy is offering it for free now. If I follow this guide here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ2g6J1JgjU will they be able to tell that it was previously rooted?
If that guide won't do, then do you have a better one? I'd prefer visual tutorials

Just tell them best buy has it for a better price. Sprint will credit it back to you. The 800 number may take a few tries, but id just call the store you bought it from and explain that its cheaper at best buy and I almost garauntee they would rather give you a credit than take it back.
I did this when I bought mine at a sprint corp. Store. Amazon had it for 100 dollars less a few days later. They just gave me a 100 dollar credit.

I tried calling *2 on my phone and talking with them, they even sent me to their manager and she talked with some supervisor or something. The final answer was still no. Now you say I should contact the Sprint store itself?
What exactly did you say to them?
Also just in case, will the video I linked to work correctly?
This is kinda urgent so I need an answer ASAP. Help please!!!
They don't know their ass from a hole in the ground at those stores so you should be fine. Especially if you bought it at a store that does not service them. That is a 3rd party sprint store and they for sure would have no way of knowing. Regardless, as long as rooting it did not damage it how could they do anything to you anyway.

that vid you linked should do the trick.
If you unroot they have no way of knowing.

Hey gang, long story short;
I lost my phone on Halloween, got my Asurion replacement but now I'm considering switching to AT&T to get back on my family plan with my wife.
I'm within my 30 days to cancel my contract. I don't have my original hardware but I do have a new Asurion one. I'm willing to eat the deductible to get out. Is this going to be a problem. any advice will be appreciated.
It probably depends on who you talk to but they might stick you with the etf because its not the original equipment you opened the line with

California is 30 days cancel and return.
I talked to tech support to reactivate my account to see if I really want to switch back or not and they said that it shouldn't be a problem to return this handset versus the one I got in store. It is the same phone and now it is 2 weeks newer than the one I got. I guess we'll see how it goes.
I love this phone, though and really hope I can convince my wife to join me on Tmo so I can keep it.

it should be fine, my store said that they'll charge a $50 restocking fee if I return the phone within 30 days (then again I bought my phone outright without a contract, so maybe no restocking fee for you).
I know I can return and pay a restock fee with "original" hardware but does my insurance replaced phone count as "original" hardware?
Thanks again for the input and sorry I didn't think to stick this in Q&A in the first place.

Why dont you take the phone with you? Not 100% sure the tmobile will take it back. You have a receipt for a particular imei not just a certain phone. I wouldnt be surprised if they flat out refuse.

Not looking good according to the feedback here
So what would they expect me to do, pay for the phone outright even though it was lost and I paid for insurance? Then after I cancel, what do i do with the replacement. This isn't a very good system if this is the case.
I've returned 2 new phones in the past 6 months on Verizon. The first time was with a GS3, the rep just looked at the outside to make sure there was nothing obviously damaged, never turned it on or checked the IMEI. The second return was a MAXX HD, where the rep didn't even open the box, he just processed my return and I went on my way.
I would say go to the store, attempt to return it but don't mention that you got it replaced with insurance unless they ask.

Heres the thing. Your local t-mobile store is a franchise and owned by someone who sets the rules for that store, following guidelines from t-mobile. None of us are going to accurately be able to give you any insight into how the store will handle your transaction.
That being said, are you having buyers remorse? Is the t-mobile coverage bad? You mentioned your wifes family plan, t-mobile offers better plans vs at&t...cost wise. Whats the reason you are returning the phone?
For those who returned phones and are saying they dont check, they do and will. Your imei is in a lot of other places than just in jellybean. Again, its different by store. Just go in and be honest with the salesman and manager and let us know how they handled it.
What I missed in all of this is your reasoning behind getting rid of the phone.

I love the phone but the contract is just more than I want to spend and becuase I can get the same phone at ATT, I just figure I might want to wait until I can just buy the phone outright or wait until my ETF isn't $230. Tmo has been a little spotty during my trial, a lot of data switching to edge or worse. So all in all, I guess I was just hoping Tmovile would wow me enough that I'd go the extra mie to keep it but they did not. So now I'm hoping I'm not stuck over something dumb on my part by losing my original hardware.
Good advice, though.
So in nov I signed up with tmobile and got the note and a gs3 for my wife. I plan on selling the note and getting the s4 in march. I call tmobile to pay it off and they tell me I have to pay both phones off? This isn't what the agent told me when I signed up. He knew I swap phones about every 6 months. So my question is why can't I pay the note off separate? My wife never upgrades her phone plus it would lower my bill per month down. Tmobile is ending the subsidiaries anyways so I don't see what the issue is? The reason I went gsm is to be able to put any phone on the carrier as I like, such as international versions.
Talk to a different rep. Cause that rep is an asshole
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Nope just spoke to customer relations and was told it cannot be done until tmobile ends the subsidiaries in a few months. No way in hell I'm paying $700+ for both phones. Basically the rep I signed up with flat out lied to me. If I would of known this I would of just bought my note full retail. Really ticked off right now.
$720 for both phones + $600 or so for the s4 is just too much for me.
3rd damn carrier that seems to lure their customers in with lies. Who would refuse me paying off a phone today? Basically I was told their systems cannot allow only one device to be payed off until may when they change their policies. This is really going to screw over a lot of people. I just don't get it.
Can anyone explain tmobiles logic in this? I'm baffled.
I've heard that since it was Even More Plus. The credit line is for everything combined, you can't separate them out. No idea if that's the truth, but they have been consistent in telling me that. If you were lied to, that really sucks and, IMO, they should try to do something for you. No idea what, but they could offer something.
Not much help, but at least confirming what they are telling you now anyway.

Yeah I have it in writing too from the original kiosk rep. I'm really ticked as I talk to this guy all the time when I'm at the mall. Tmobile is investigating what he told me and I've notified his manger. This really screws anyone who wants to get another phone anytime before may. I just don't understand the logic. Why would they care if I decide to pay the device off? Now I'm screwed if I wanted to get the s4 in a few weeks unless I add a 3rd line.
Now I can see why so many go prepaid. To avoid all of the carrier BS. This is worse then what I dealt with on both sprint and Verizon.
There has to be a loophole for this. Any ideas guys?
It does make sense that the credit extended is put into one loan. I'm sure it makes it easier on the accounting for them....... BUT...... If that guy told you something different, I would go straight to him and have him help you get this sorted out immediately. He's the one that gave you misinformation, I would make him spend time working to correct it also.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
yeah, this really makes no sense to me why they would require this just because the phone accounts are linked? Just to be sure though, I'm going to make sure I buy my phone and my wife's phone separately.
Im told its becuase both phones were purchased together but that was becuase thats the day i switched from verizon to tmobile. The rep knew i switch devices often and told me it wouldnt be an issue. I got an email from the manager that they are investigating. If any of you bought the phones together id check on this. Im glad they are ending the pay per month on the phones BS. From now on ill pay full price.
This happened to me too. Opened a tmo business account and bought an S3 and a cheap text phone for the wife. Financed $500 between the two, and was told I could pay them off seperately. The note 2 comes out, so I go to pay the balance of the S3. I was told the same, you have to pay both off because they where contracted at ths same time. But I still had enough available credit to finance the note 2, swap the sim from the S3 in to the note 2, put the S3 on Craigslist, it sold the next day for the $400 balance I had on the note 2. Walked in to tmo the very next day and paid the note 2 off.
This is just an idea, I don't know for sure if it will work, but when I bought
my Note and my wife's phone, they told me that is no penalty if I pay
the phone(s) in advance OR if I pay more per month to shorten the pay
period of 20 months.
So, I guess you can go into the store and tell them you want to pay, let's say
$300 in the account for the phones. That will lower your montly payment, just
like you payed yours out and not "mess" with they're account number.
It's worth a try anyway....
Wait. So I have a $2000 credit on my account for devices. There's like $700 available. Your saying they won't let me pay a partial payment towards that?

the way tmobile does business is BS. never had this issue on sprint or verizon, i could swap phones when ever i wanted without penalties. knowing me the s4 will be announced and ill get impatient and just pay the $720 off and get the new phone lol. from now on ill always just buy my devices outright.
You could do what I did. Pay the deposit on the new phone and finance the rest, sell the old phone, then pay off the new phone.

that's when tmobile gets the s4, i was planning on buying the international version as it will ship much sooner than the US carriers will get it. plus from now on i won't finance phones from tmobile, ill buy them outright. if that's what you meant buy putting a deposit down.
it's my fault for believing the rep and not reading all of the fine print. the dude must be like a car salesman. says anything for a sale.

Thanks for this!
I've been so pissed at Verizon for taking so long to offer this phone, that I was contemplating waiting and getting from Amazon or, you know, anywhere else.
But, $50 off on Day 1 and getting to [FINALLY] have it in my hot little hands today??? Too alluring.
Thanks for sharing. --xari.

no problem! I still need to wait till tomorrow
I am in disney on vacation, and I was going to go to a vzw store down the road for in store pickup, but because my billing address is in NJ, they wouldnt let me buy it. I said, screw you vzw, I'll wait a day and pay less. Also, amazon is still $200 unless you make a new line, so it's pretty much all the same. Now all I need to get is the squaretrade warranty for $99 on amazon tomorrow and I'm set!
Has anybody gotten the code to work when paying full retail? I just tried and it didn't apply any discount
How long is the code good for?
The end of August I believe
I wonder if this can be used in store?

I'm not 100% sure but I'm going to guess no. :-/
The cool thing though is you can do it online, and select to pickup at a Verizon store.

I did it last night and selected in-store pick up. Then, I learn of this promo code this morning. I called VZW customer service and they told me I'd have to try to apply the coupon in store.
I asked if I can just cancel the order and I'd redo it but apparently I have to cancel in-store too. Makes no sense to me but I'll find out in 40 mins when the store opens.

Could you also ask them if there is any way to get the discount off the retail price of the phone?

Will do! I'll report back from the One hopefully!
For $50, I have no problem cancelling in-store and redoing it online and waiting the extra time for everything to process.
the people I was chatting with said no way to do it in store, which is why I have to wait an extra day until I'm home. But definitely let us know!
My local vzw was beyond rude to me on the phone when i called for info on the stock of the phone, I'm trying to get them to waive the upgrade fee or something.
We'll see

Good luck with that. That fee is a tough one...I've yet to hear of anyone getting it waived.

Cancelling the order over the phone now with the store since they can't add the promo code. They aren't sure if they can cancel it though; as per VZW's site, the order automatically cancels if you don't pick it up within 4 days. Hoping I don't need to go that route.
Also, no-go on that coupon for full retail at the store.
EDIT: Nope, they can't cancel. Have to wait four days. Time is money, and I'll just eat the $50. An hour of overtime will cover that!
I was able to select instore pickup and use the code.
it Works
I went to my Verizon store and was able to talk them into letting me use the code in the store. Your experience may vary

I had used the code successfully online and selected in-store pick-up, but when I got there, the code didn't come up in their system!
Fortunately, I had taken a print-out with me (showing the discounted price) and when they asked where I'd found the code, I pulled up this thread in our forum)) to show them, so they were very nice about it and honored it. [Again, YMMV.]
I was polite throughout (which I'm sure helped) and then thanked them several times.
Good luck everyone. She sure is a beauty!
I selected store pick-up and when I went to checkout the system would not let me complete the order. What am I doing wrong?

Same thing happened to me. I don't think those codes work for in store pickup. Had to do the shipping route. Not sure why.

Hm, I just placed an in store pickup right now and the code worked for me. I live in CA if that has to do with anything?
