The option to bill to account is there after 90 days depending on credit now. It won't be after Oct 5th. I can't site source, sorry but I already posted in another thread which indirect retailer I work for and citing my source can cost me my job.

Or they are doing everything they can to be the only cell provider to have unlimited data and hopefully fix network. its all about them saving money.

I can confirm this info. you will still be able to bill accessories to the account but no longer handsets, tablets, and air cards. sprint states that no other wireless provider still allows you to bill handsets to you're account.

Yeah just read that as well... kinda sucks because I use bill to Account to test the phones without having to wait a month and a half to receive a refund. Sprint current policy is refund process within 10 days of receiving phone 21 business days to cut check and 14 business days for check to arrive. Had this happen to me with the nexus s... so I will not buy a phone without recommendations from you guys for now on...lol...

I can understand for new accounts but if you have been with Sprint for years this should still be an option.

It is until Oct 5th then no more at all.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

I actually am surprised they went this long and still allowed billing to the account.
I'll bet they get stiffed quite a bit by people ordering phones, then never paying the invoice.

If it helps Sprint keep money in their pocket, and in turn helps to keep unlimited data indefinitely, go right ahead and take that away to. Better that, then to have to pay extra for what we already have.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I again don't understand why long time customers can't still do this.
Obviously if you'be been with Sprint for 5 years or more you're extremely unlikely to do something like that.

So...if the other networks jumped off a bridge, Sprint would too?
Sprint is slowly turning into Verizon....except with slower data and ****tier CS.

There's been alot of fraud going around lately on our end, especially with world phones like the photon. Changes to bill to account should come as no surprise ...

Awesome! Although EVO is tempting as well.

The development is going to be so cluttered, having different variants of CDMA even. lol I'll try to get ahold of the gNex, but we'll see how it pans out.

Finally GN in Sprint. The only problem I am on contract still with the NS4G. I guess I will just wait for the Nexus number 4.

Congrats to Sprint. Im still wondering when TMO will get a US copy. Weird that N1 and NS were first on TMO and now theyve been dropped completely for GNex

Just ordered mine, love the Nexus S but hated the small screen. Went from an EVO 4G to it. I missed that large screen.

Going to pre order mine in a bit... can't wait to have a bigger screen again(went from evo 3d to ns4g)
Quick question for those that pre ordered...
Was it online only?
Did the charge you upgrade fee?
What was the total?(with shipping)
Thanks

To answer your questions in order:
Preorder is online only
Yup. $36 activation fee will be added to next bill
For me out the (web)door = $214.99

Welcome potential Sprint Galaxy Nexus owners!
Please, if you don't like the phone keep it to yourselves! We don't need more threads on it!

Edit: I called back and the s3 is not only available, this girl allowed me to apply it to the order I made last Saturday. This girl was amazing.

The s3 is allowed as the first phone but not as the free phone.... At least at a store level. If they are doing a mail in rebate for you good luck, but if they let you do it instantly you lucked out!

Would sprint buy the epic 4g?

I just realized I qualified for an upgrade since april. I was thinking it was in augest.
Anyway, I wanna buy a new phone. I really don't want to sell my epic because I love it and I just want a new phone to keep on the side and not to actually use. So my number would stay on the epic and I would get a newer phone for my music and games and stuff. I don't think anyone would do this but I am lol I need my keyboard.
So I was thinking gs3 or epic touch.
But just incase I have to pay an amount of money that I don't have and I would have to give up my epic to get a newer phone would sprint buy this phone from me for a reasonable price? Like let's say $100?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA

I think Sprint will give your around $30-35 dollars.
You will get much more if you sell it online or some such.
You can use your upgrade to get a new Phone, probably around $200, and just not activate it, and then you can keep using your Epic.
Thanks said, if your Epic is in working order, and has a clean ESN, I would give you $100 for it.

I'm going to go to the sprint store sometime soon and see what phones they have there and what they offer.
if I have to sell my phone to get a new one I may sell it for about $100. Ill let you know if you want it. And yes its in perfect condition I don't remember dropping it not even once and everything works.

After you activate a new/upgrade account, that phone must remain active on that line for 6 months. (might be 3) This is why I use GVoice. I have 4 lines and me and wifey trade up renewals with 2 of the lines.

Sprint doesn't allow buy backs of any of their devices which have dirty ESNS. Corporate retail employees who do this sort of thing can and will be subjected to disciplinary action of up to and including termination of employment. I know this personally from seeing about half a dozen of employees in our DM's market promoted to customer. You have to remember people that Sprint has a report on just about anything you do in RMS and are able to drill down to employee ID level.

They wanted to give me $60 for mine when I upgraded, but I decided to keep it and try selling it for a little more private.

I was really wanting to buy the g23. But I think the epic touch wouldn't be bad either. And its 100 dollars cheaper. But its a shame that both the epic and the epic touch cost 100 with a new contract lol.

That's how I got my Galaxy Note 2 today. I only had my Galaxy S3 for 13 months but I still got the Note 2 for free. The catch was I had to increase my plan by $26 for 24 months.

wait i thought with the JUMP! program, you had to trade in your old device?

Honestly, T-Mobile always sells phones a bit more expensive then they actually retail for.
If I had seriously wanted the S4 I'd root my S3 that's in flawless condition with a Balistick SG Maxx case, have it prerooted stock 4.1.2 and sell it for 350$. Then go on eBay turn around and buy the international unlocked version of the S4 for like 250$ more. It's more expensive out right, but much cheaper in the long run.
Been on my mother's T-Mobile phone line since I was a kid and had a Motorola RAZR v3. So more than 12 years for sure when she started using T-Mobile. Somewhere in 1999 I fink.
