Best price for a ET4G on Sprint upgrade? Anything lower than $150?
My sister is eligible for an upgrade, she loves my ET4G so I was looking to get her one. Wirefly/Amazon both show $79 for new contract or $150 for upgrades. Anyone know anything better than $150? Damn I paid $100 when it first came out! Thanks.
Sorry for double post, I got to buy her the phone in less than 48 hours! Thanks!
Amazon Wireless has it for 79.99, I tried to post the link but I'm too much of a noob to be allowed yet.
Go to target.com and find it on there website. Its 99 bucks go to best buy they are price matching till January 20 th. Boom epic 4g for 99. Its 79 on amazon but you have to wait bestbuy you get it that day. I got two epic last week from best buy for 99 each

Here is the link you couldnt post. Ill be taking this deal to get my mom this phone
You guys know that at target its $99.99 with new line but $150 with an upgrade right? And amazon is $79.99 with a new line, but $150 with an upgrade. Its pretty much $150 everywhere for upgrades.

Look for Wirefly 10% online coupon code just used it 5 days ago.
If you trade in ANY working phone (not just smart phones) to radio shack you can get it for 100 bucks.
WAAAH! How long have these prices been going on for? I paid $199.99 about a month or so ago for an upgrade
Thanks for all the replies, but I already know abt the $79 amazon deal. I need to UPGRADE an existing sprint line that is eligible for discounted upgrade - i dont need to sign up a new phone number or line. So the amazon price/wirefly price is $150 for upgrades. Regarding radio shack, do you know if that $100 price is for upgrades as well?
I believe the $79.99 deal at Amazon is only for new customers, not upgrading. If you are upgrading then it is $149.99
Ill be getting it for $79.99 next week
I got mine on the 26th from Sprint.
They were having a deal (25th-31st) if your upgrade was near that they would upgrade you sooner and I got my et4g for $126.00 with the trade in of my evo.
By far this phone is immaculate but I think I just got my first problem with it.
The vibrate is making a super weird noise that it really shouldn't be making.
Hope you find a good deal for it!
Sprint will give you $90 (as a credit to your bill) for your old HTC EVO, even if you don;t buy a phone through them.

You'd do better to sell it on fleabay.
I sold mine for $200.

Unfortunately I already traded it in and got my ET4G. :/
My Target has the upgrade for $99 as well (I'm near Seattle). Don't know if it's like that everywhere, but it is here. They've also been out of stock since Christmas so I went to Best Buy and although they're supposed to call and verify availability, they didn't! Also, Best Buy has better insurance than Sprint, 10 bucks a month and no deductible! Also, if you can get it at Target, they have a better trade in program. Best Buy was only going to give me $30 for a brand new Vibrant, Radio Shack was $65, but Target was $90! Still going to sell it elsewhere, but it's good info to have!
Just ordered my Note 2 from LetsTalk.com for 206.99
They have a sale on it for 229.99 until 12/31
Plus I added a coupon code at checkout for 10% off which was another -23.00
For a total of 206.99
The coupon code is: TALK4TEN
Also my upgrade isn't available until 1/1/13, but I was able to have my order placed on hold until then for the same price, just had to chat with a rep.
Amazon Wireless $149.99 with a new 2 year contract. They did had it for $99 last week.
Currently it's on backorder 1-2 weeks with amazon. That price is only for new lines, not upgrades, upgrades is still 199.99. LetsTalk has it in stock. Either way, still a much better price than through sprint.
Also no tax for a lot of states, which is a savings of another $60~ish for most states, as new lines and upgrades tend to charge the tax on the retail price of the device.

It may say backorder but amazon usually ships within 3 to 4 days, on top of that bb will price match online retailers and to me getting it locally is always better. Also I've had good experience with geek squad warranty.

best buy will price match amazon wireless. I got my phone from best buy last week. I had a $100 gift card i wanted to use. They priced matched the upgrade price of 199.99. after the gift card it was about 112 out the door. Cant beat that price for a new note 2.

I was lucky enough to have my bb price match it at 150 and then at 99 and mine was a renewal. I just got lucky they weren't strict about it.

Like its been said before, even with their expected dates being couple weeks they usually ship within couple days. Plenty of people have reported this on several forums. Plus you can always check if your local bb will price match the new price on a renewal something that a lot of bb stores have been matching.

Here is a Frys deal that I came across 169.00 for new customers or 199.99 for add a line. I will be going to Bestbuy to get the price match tomorrow. I missed the 149.00 amazon and the even better 99.00 dollar price with amazon too. Thought it would be nice to share this with folks.

I just got mine for wirefly.com for $150 on a 2yr contract
I'm looking to get best buy to match the cheapest UPGRADE price I can found. Anyone found anything cheaper than $199.99?
just take your phone in with the newline price already loaded on the page. i doubt they will check in to it too much.
they pricematched me for 149 on an upgrade that clearly said new line on the ad. the guy didnt care. i went back in two weeks later with a new print out showing 99 bucks and they refunded 50 dollars to my credit card.

Austin got lucky. I just left BB about an hour ago activating 2 new Note 2's and they price matched Amazon at the $199.99 but they pulled it up on their own computers. I tried to show them my phone but said they had it. Plus they informed me that this is the last month that they will be price matching cellphones. Don't know how true, but both the girls at the station made sure they let me know.
Re: [Q] Cheapest UPGRADE price
I brought in a print out of the web page with a time stamp on the bottom. They were able to price match my phone. This is a hit or miss thing tho. I knew the supervisor of the mobile department and he explained to me that its at the discretion of the supervisor. He also said the reason why some bestbuys would not price match was because of the extra cancelation fees some sites have. Not sure why it would make a difference but thats what he told me.
Edit: got it for $169

I heard the same thing, but it is actually the 30-day price guarantee that they are doing away with. I paid $199 for mine. Radio shack has the best price for new, $169.00.

Re: [Q] Cheapest UPGRADE price
Best buy by my house is full of **** went in there with the printed ad and they said they couldn't pricematch it cuz amazons price had expired in Nov of 2012 and he showed me on the screen at Nov 2012 date but that was the day the phone came out!! I didn't complain though cuz I was trying to trick them into giving it to me for the new line price on a upgrade lol but you gotta be stern with them cuz they will try to get out of it

This is the link on Slickdeals. Personally, I want to wait for the newer one, which is likely why they're having this on sale in the first place, but this is super tempting. If anyone wants to take advantage of this deal, here you go! It's taking me all of my self-control to not make the purchase.

I bit on the deal. Could never quite stomach the MSRP for these things, but for 179 it was impossible to resist. Don't tell my wife.

I bought one at this price today. I had one I (steel band) I paid $299 for and returned. Couldn't stomach the price for an accessory. But $179 sealed the deal for me.
I checked the date on my receipt, was hoping I could get a price match. Sadly, it's been 35 days
Picked one up today. 179.00 crazy they had open box 360 same style not the steel for 224.00 that makes no sense

Same deal here, metal band, plus student discount, plus, a few giftcards with some lingering balances. Got the metal band for $170, finally pulled the trigger.
So after I just purchased the one with leather band yeaterday. I noticed online that they dropped the price for the one with the steel band to 220. To it back and made the swap.

If you guys checked the slickdeals thread... You can get a ZTE Zinger ($40) + Moto360 and get an additional $100 off. I used that and the $25 student coupon. Came down to $102 ish w/ tax and used a gift card that was laying around. Dropped it to a grand total of $77 out the door.

That's a damn good deal.
I just picked up the last black steel. I'm going to return the zinger in a couple of days.
You think they will let you return the zinger? that would be hilarious if they accepted that return. Let us know how that goes.

I did the exact same thing today, but my total was $143 because I got the black stainless steel version. I'm going to take the phone back tomorrow and get my $40 back... That means I got a Black Stainless Still Moto 360 for $94.99 + taxes I super pumped.
Black 360 $220
Zte Zinger $40
Total $260 - $100rebate & $25 student discount = $135
Returning the phone tomorrow, final price $95.

The fine print on the sale says "Both items must be returned and package savings adjusted if either product is returned, additional savings will be nullified." So good luck.

Several people over on Slick Deals have confirmed they have returned their cheap android phones for a refund without a problem. They've also posted receipts, I think the only reason it works is because you don't get a discount on the phone all the discounts are listed under the watch. So unless you returned the watch there's nothing to charge...
Oh nice!

Exactly what I did. Around $102 out the door. Also, doing the Verizon Trade-In deal on the ZTE Zinger that will give me a $100 VZW credit that I can swap for cash with my parents. So in the end, the Moto 360 only cost me like $2!!! :good:
I had actually ordered yesterday direct from Samsung which was giving $350 trade in for the same phone plus $70 for accessories. I just checked my Tmo app and saw this new Promo so I cancelled the Samsung order and put the order in with TMO which is giving the trade in values for purchase of a variety of the new Samsung phones. They charged $88 for taxes and upgrade fee, then give me a $125 credit when the old phone is returned and $375 in monthly bill credits. The bottom line is that I make $37 up from TMO and then have to pay $15 a month for 24 months.
You may or may not be able to use Insider code type 3 from TMO. $200 rebate.

UPDATE: I MAY be getting the price match after all, but its not worth the drama.
A second person on chat told me they were 110% sure they were doing price matching, but you have to order first, then get the match. I went ahead and ordered and called yesterday to get the match, but they said they couldn't see it in their system yet, try later.
Called again today and was told I had to wait until the order was shipped to get the match. Spent about 20 min on the phone with them with nonsense.
After the call I decided to just cancel and buy from Amazon. Samsung's website then offered me 10% off to keep the order, so I said ok (credit applied after shipping). Theoretically I can still call when it ships and get the full price match.
Suggestions to avoid the drama:
1) buy from Samsung for $700, get 3% back from Rakuten, plus $70 instant credit on samsung.com, then cancel the order and accept the 10% rebate, OR
2) buy from Amazon for $600.

I'd rather buy from Samsung that's just me... I did the cancel thing after order on my fold 2 and got $100 back credited when they charged me for order once it shipped...if going that way you would usually get email telling you of the credit you will get at shipping... I would still chat them for the full $100 match... Don't know why they giving you such hard time... Ughhh sorry to hear it..
When I cancelled my order with Samsung it just cancelled and I was not offered any discount to continue with the purchase. Samsung was offering $350 trade in for the S9 plus $70 for accessories, which I generally find to be quite expensive at Samsung. So the $500 trade in from TMO gave me $80 more than I would have received from Samsung. Although I also like to buy direct from Samsung, I felt a little burned by them when they dropped the price of the Note 20 Ultra by $200 just three weeks after it was delivered.
When I ordered mine, Samsung told me I had to wait until it shipped. I traded in an iPhone 11 Pro, which took the phone down to $55.00 US. After it shipped I messaged them back, and they told me they couldn't refund more than I paid, so they gave me a $110.00 Samsung Credit code within about 2 hours.

SECOND UPDATE: I ended up getting both the 10% ($70) rebate for not cancelling AND the $100 price match, so yay me, I guess. So my final out the door price from Samsung was $530 USD (plus tax). That included the $70 credit at the Samsung store, which I used to buy a case and their little discount fitbit. I also got a 2% rebate from Rakuten and 1.5% from my credit card (Capitol One).
Traded in my OnePlus 6t for $500 trade in discount at T-mobile. Will pay about $9/mth for 2yrs
Once you realize that this device gets left out of their beta program, and their monthly updates. It doesn't looks as nice as it seems. October security patch was launched for all S20 devices, except the S20 FE. Beta program is the same, all S20 family devices except S20 FE. Not so appealing now.
