I haven't payed my first bill yet and I'm thinking of getting the iPhone because of all the issues this phone is having, I know this would be better in the Sprint forums but for some reason my Evo won't let me post there so what will I have to pay if I take it in?

At a Sprint store there should be no cost.
There is no cost if you were a new Sprint customer. If you were already a Sprint customer there is a $35 restocking fee for the phone.

yup no cost whatsoever, unless you use send international text messages or anything not covered by your plan, then you would pay usage.
if you bought it through other retailers like best buy you wont be getting those 50 dollars you used to preorder it back...
Ok that's where I bought, will they refund me for the phone?

You would get the $50 pre-order money back. The phone was still $199. The $50 pre-order money plus the $149 paid when the phone was picked up.
Ok thanks everybody, this community is so helpful.

You will get the preorder money back on a gift card. Not cash/credit like you paid for the rest of the phone with. It was very clearly stated by BB and RS that those were non-refundable.
wait what? you dont even have to pay for the month of service?

im pretty sure you dont get the money back... for the preorder card....
i mean that preorder was basically a 50$ best buy gift card you bought that you used for your phone... that money is gone you arent getting another 50 bucks when you return your device....im pretty sure same goes for radioshack
As someone has mentioned, you don't get the pre-order $50 card money back in cash. You just get one more $50 card that you have to use with the retailer.
I did not know this. When I returned my EVO 4G to RS, I got another $50 gift card. I did not want to buy anything at RS so finally I decided to Order my iPhone there. I don't want to waste my $50 on RS crap and/or expensive items.
If you were lucky enough to get one without pre ordering, you'll get a full refund. My sister is the one that put me up to getting this phone, she works for sprint. I happen to love it so I'm keeping it.

Are there advantages to getting the HTC LTE at Best Buy instead of Sprint?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I prefer Best Buy. The biggest reason for me is because with sprint you have to send in for the mail in rebate's while with Best Buy they are instant so you don't have to wait 6-8 weeks to get your money back. Also sometimes the prices are actually cheaper at Best Buy.
Also, the sales people at Sprint stores work on comission while those at BestBuy do not.....the sales people at Sprint are like used car salesmen. They will promise/say anythnig to get you to buy something so thety make money while those at Best Buy do not since tehy get paid the same regardless and thus are usually more honest.

Doesn't matter. The first 30 days are covered from both places, if you have a problem in the first 30 days just bring it back and they should give you a new device. After the 30 days, you have the warranty good through one year, and you have to take it to a sprint repair center.

Very good question, and glad you asked actually.
Would probably respectfully say, Best Buy would be your best bet. You get the phone the same day as you do with Sprint, but the mail in rebate is already subtracted from the original retail price which is a +.
Hope we helped you come to a conclusion

Best buy also offers the buy back program. I got it for free but I think it now runs like 30-40 bucks. Basically they take the full price of the phone before discounts and offer you a percentage back which varies depending on when u bring it back. I know after a year they give u 40%. So the evo was what 650-700 when I bought it I think. Well after a year they pay u 40% of that. It goes down a little after that but slowly. Just makes u be able to update every year still without the upgrade.
Much appreciated to all. Sounds like I'm going to best buy.

Mail in rebate??
So wait, the $199 pricetag is after a mail-in rebate through Sprint?? I was unaware of this. So you pay like $299 up front?
Does Best Buy have the May 7th pre-order also?
Oh... I think I have a $50 BB gift card! That may have made this decision easier. Haha.

Correct. Some stores/managers MAY wave the mail-in and give it to you instantly, but I doubt it.
And yes, BB will get the release the exact same day as sprint.
I choose best buy. They hook you up. I got my og EVO from there, and they threw in a case for 5.00$

Believe it or not Radio shack is amazing to buy phones. they are so desperate on phone selling. a few of my friends work there and they always have amazing deals for phones either with discounted price or with free goodies.
so how much is that new evo LTE gonna cost retail? I'll have a crappy $150 rebate, but i'm not paying $650 for that phone. Is there around this at all? threaten to cancel?
which would be better then?

I believe I heard $550 MSRP, but that seems pretty low actually.
You can do the buyout program. It's like $20 per month early; something like that.

theres pros and cons to both. Sprint has more freedom to do things but Best buy can many times give you more out the door but yeah Radio shack is stepping up.
Hey all,
Where can i find the lowest upgrade price for this phone? it is way to high everywhere i have looked. I have a classic plan, not the value plan, so from T-mobile, i would be paying $229 + $50 (rebate). Basically $279 without tax.
Any lower prices out there? if not, i will go with the One S
Hate to say it cause I work for tmo as a sales rep. Lowest upgrade price is at walmart and they usually don't add the req(contracted)/correct data plan especially if you rush them

When you get a discount with your upgrade you have to have a contracted data plan. I.e. a required data plan. At walmart I've seen like 90% of our customers who bought their phone at Walmart come to the store because they didn't get the data plan that's required with the upgrade... so we add a non-contracted data plan on (one you can take off the account if you want)
Required data plan (contracted) = a data plan you can not take off for the length of the contract... you can increase or decrease the amount of data you want to purchase (200mb, 2gb, 5gb, 10gb) but you can't remove it completely without breaking contract

don't go to t-mobile stores. Talk to the loyalty/retention department, they usually hook it up when you upgrade/extend your contract. you should not be paying $230+ for this phone with an upgrade because you can find it off CL for about $300-375 (ymmv, friend got one for $310 2 days ago)

Man you guys are crazy, I work for Costco. I sell it for $179 + tax. No MIR, nothin. You also get a free accessory bundle which includes an extra car/wall charger, leather pouch, screen protectors and data cable. Not to mention a 90 day exchange period with NO restocking fee. If something better drops 2 months from now, you just bring it back and pay the difference. Buying a phone anywhere else is just nuts.

Please explain how people said to go to Walmart and Costco to get the phone are crazy when you said to go to Costco lol -_-.
In my opinion, it is crazy to spend $200 on a phone with an upgrade that is 7 months old. The price has been free-100 the past couple months with upgrade.
Instead of using your upgrade i would just pay $100 more to have it off contract.

I obviously wasn't talking to the ones who suggested Costco or Walmart.... I'm taking about the ones who go through tmo direct. Even at $199, that costs more, you have no free accessories and only a 14 day exchange period (which also requires that you ship it back to them if you got it from the loyalty dept at that price, plus a restocking fee). I agree with you on the off contract price though. If you get lucky you can get one on CL in the $300-$350 range. If you can swing that, I'd go that route and save your upgrade for a newer phone. We do have the One S at Costco for $189. But I presume a lot of folks would rather wait to see if the SIII makes an appearance on tmo anytime soon.

I got mine for $137 with upgrade through the retention department and they gave me a buy one get one free deal, so the wife is rocking a GS2 as well. No MIR required.
Had a problem with them sending out the wrong color phone so I had to do a mail in return. But, in the process of talking with them and crediting my account for the wrong phone, they accidentally changed my upgrade status and 4 months later I am still showing eligible for a full upgrade.
wow....this is crazy, defiantly checking out Costco....or hassling them on the phone till i get a good price.

You can get the verizon nexus free under contract right now at amazon. The ETF is 350 so it costs the same as the gsm nexus without a contract.

What?? Yeah, if you don't figure in the $1,700 you'll lose from a 2 year contract while spending around $70 a month. That's around $1900-$2000 if you wanted to pay the ETF to cancel early. The most you'd spend with a Gnex and (for example) the T-Mo $30/month plan? $1100. My advice? Get the Gnex. I am receiving mine Monday, switching over to it from an iPhone and I couldn't be more happy to not only go back to Android but also go back to an unlocked phone. Being contract free is exhilarating. It'll be worth it, then whenever the new Nexus comes out, you don't have to wait for any contracts to expire or anything like that you just have to wait for the $349 price tag again

My only doubt was that the phone is already over 6 months old and specs are decent but nothing compared to the One x or S3. I wonder how many more full versions of android it will see after jellybean. I thought about waiting for the next Nexus but I highly doubt it will carry the same price tag.

I dunno why I'm going to be the one pointing this out, but that poster mentioned the ETF because there is a practice of buying phones on contract and then paying the ETF which is usually half of the price of an off-contract version. You don't pay anything monthly for the Verizon because you cancel.

Huh never thought of doing that. However my ETF is still $150 and there is only 2months left on my ATT contract. My wife has a year left and her ETF is $275. I know over the course of 2 years you'd make it up by going prepaid either way though.
I guess if for some reason I don't like my Nexus I can use my upgrade to get the SGS3 and just ETF right away.

The thing is that I'm buying this phone, either the S4 or the One, off contract full price so best buy always charges like $150 more for off contract phones. Its not worth it.

With my selling experience on eBay like 85% of the bids come within a couple hours of the end time. Trust me you'll get $300+. PM me and let me know what you get! I'm thinking of doing the same and paying the difference to get the S4 with no upgrade. I have a ton of accessories too.

Will do, and thats what i was thinking about a bunch of bids coming in the end. Also I figure tomorrow is payday for some people. I better get $300 lol AT LEAST! I have 3 cases 3 oem batteries and one extended battery and two chargers and a S3 with the box in perfect condition. Thats why when I went into Sprint and the guy was saying" Just pay the early upgrade for $100 and give us your old S3 we will knock $106 off the upgrade price which is $450. lol I asked if he was smoking crack and then said he77 no. Lol. It was funny and sad to listen to them try and "convince" me to do a early upgrade.

Could that $106 go towards and upgrade ?
Either way I would be better off selling my gs3 for $250 minimum and that would cover the upgrade fee.

So this is how it works. If you are eligible for a upgrade or buy the phone off contract, you get to keep your device. If you want to upgrade early it is whatever price they say depending on where you are in your contract and they take the device you are using and give you some ungodly amount for it, whatever they give you for the phone goes toward the upgrade. Which is a ripoff.

You can get like $280-$350 (maybe more if you include accessories) with a good ESN. Of course, eBay charges a little fee though -__-

If you would have checked Thursday 4/25/13 best buy was giving $350 for the phone as trade in value. I had buy back on my phone which guarantees me $280 right now. But because the trade in value was higher than buy back, I would have received $376.50 if I traded my phone in. I was stupid not to do it. I still get $280 but that's almost $100 difference lol

Re:
If you want to do the early upgrade what you need to do is find an old phone from
Sprint with a clean esn and trade it in. Then you can pay the early upgrade fee and get phone with subsidize price. Then sell the phone that your S3 on ebay or craiglist foe 300+ and that way you'll save some money. For the early upgrade fee they just need a phone to be trade in but it doesn't has to be your current phone it just need be a clean esn phone. You trade in like an old blackberry or the first Evo or it could even be feature phone like Moto Rzor but with clean esn.

Yes this is what I was going to do but it's not worth it to buy the early upgrade. I'm just going to buy the phone off contract.

All together how much would doing the early upgrade cost? Cause buying off contract is like $750+, obviously if it's cheaper than that, then doing the early upgrade would be wroth it!

From browsing the HTC One forum you can ask bestbuy to price match the retail price for the carrier. Some say it worked, others said it didn't. Can't hurt to try.

I already asked they said they price match everything but phones. I'm just selling mine and buying new off amazon, they have the same prices as Sprint.
