Who else pre orderd from sprint? - EVO 4G General

Did anyone pre order from sprint? I did mine this morning and i was wondering how much it cost everyone. I was half asleep when i did mine and i just kept clicking next on every page lol. It came out to i think 235 dollars. So im guessing the extra 30ish bucks was an activation fee or something?

I ordered from Sprint as well. Device cost me $199.00, no tax as I'm in DE. But I did an early up grade that cost me $95, then they gave ma a trade credit for my OG of $100, So now I'm at $195. Now take off for the Sprint BB's I traded as well and I'm at $100 for the New EVO. Have not seen it cheaper yet. Think I did alright on this one.

mine came out to be $ 238.74

mine came out to be 217 after taxes, I had an AP exam right when the pre order went up so I couldn't be first
activation/upgrade fee isn't calculated into the purchasing cost, its added to your next bill after you activate it (it comes unactivated) as does the 14 day grace period if anyone was wondering

Mine was 200 and some change.

I used telesales... $217.77
She tried to charge me shipping of $18 (I think it was)
I told her that I didn't want to pay that because when I do the checkout process online shipping is waived.
She waived it.
My sero plan she said incurres no activation fee.
She said the $17.77 was tax.

Interesting...I called this morning and the telesales person was awful. Ended up not ordering.
I called this afternoon and telesales said they couldn't preorder (I'm on SERO) and to do it online.
Couldn't preorder online this morning, could this afternoon, but it indicated I had a $36 activation. Guess I'll try to waive that when I activate.

Mine was $421 I got 2 of them
Haha I've missed the og evo forum

Got $100 rebate, but I paid full price for my phone $530.

I am pretty sure you dont get the rebate unless you get a 1 or 2 year contract with the phone. I submitted my rebate through the verizon online rebate center and mailed away with my verizon receipt from my online purchase and the rebate form I printed online.
Was this a fluke on verizon's behalf since I paid $530 for mine and not a new contract or extension? I mailed my rebate last week and got it today. $100 rebate card!
thats not sure. u can get the mail in rebate with full price. also i ordered mine from customer service over the phone and i still got a mail in rebate form, im pretty sure I can get that also, which they gave me the instant discount already
Wait I am thinking about getting switching to Incredible from the Eris for a few reason, but is this really true? Because, at 430 plus tax that is cheaper than going the ebay route. What can the rebated card be used for, can it be just used for cash?
if you are anywhere over 12 months into your plan you can upgrade to a new 2 year plan and only pay a $20 early upgrade fee... making the phone $220 .. U upgraded my secondary line for the incredible and they keep sending me emails for an extra 50 off of another incredible to upgrade my main account early... making it $150... if you wait verizon will send you some discount soon... especially if you are a long term customer.... I'm 9 years with VZW and finally I have a phone I'm not ashamed to own
The rebate applies regardless of the price you paid. The only way it doesn't apply is if you received an instant rebate at the time of purchase. I too, paid full retail, and got my debit card yesterday. Bringing the total cost of my Incredible, after I sold my Moto Droid and accessories, to $64.00.
Where would have it the lowest price eligible for the rebate?

I could of sworn the fine print said it was only applicable to people who got a 1 or 2 year contract, not people who paid full price. When I ordered the phone full price it did not show any discount available like it does with the 1 or 2 year contract, it shows price after rebate...

That's right, because when you re-up, or do a new contract, they give you the rebate instantly. When you go the full retail route, you have to mail it in.
I also paid full price for mine 529.00 at Best Buy and they would not give me any rebate, instant or mail in. You would think paying full price they would cut us some slack
Wow thanks for the info. I had no idea I could qualify for any rebates, but mine's on it's way right now. That extra $100 will be useful for a proper battery/charger/AF that this phone shoulda been stock with!
To find out if you are eligible for a rebate, simply go here, https://www.yourwirelessrebatecenter.com/promocenter/verizonwireless/promo_search.html, and fill in the required information.
The rebate only applies to 1/2yr contracts, so if you received a rebate and paid full retail then you lucked out. The *instant* rebate only applies online, telesales (if you tell them your are having errors ordering online), or sometimes indirect stores, other wise if your order at direct store or through customer service by phone, you would recieve a *mail* in rebate. Exceptions can be made depending on the situation.
All I know is, I paid $529 for my Incredible, ordered on the VZW website, did not extend my contract, sent in the rebate, and got my $100. If people aren't interested in $100, then so be it.

Yep I just sent mine in too, sold my TP2 for $300, getting this $100 back. Overall price for the Incredible - $164. I can be happy with that lol
i must have way over paid phone after tax was 620 last one they had in stock in Vegas was on vacation and won enough to buy one now need to sell xv6800 maybe get 100 for that then total would be 420 but i won 700 of 50 dollars so win win.
Thank you guys SO MUCH for posting about this! I also paid full retail for my phone, $530 + tax, with NO contract extension, and asked the store reps specifically if I was eligible for the $100 mail in rebate, to which they said NO, and even on my receipt "(Rebate NOT Elligible)". Why I ever listen to those clowns, I do not know... they also said I was not eligible for the free 2gb memory card... eh no big loss there but still I wonder.
Anyways, I followed the link and found that I AM eligible for the $100 rebate, got the form right from that link after filling in some basic info, and will mail it off tomorrow with my UPC and copy of my receipt. I don't forsee any issue with getting my $100 card
You guys made my day, and my wife's day as well . I also was lucky enough to sell my Touch Pro 2 to a coworker for $300, plus this $100, brings my total out of pocket to ~$150... Very nice indeed for a new phone after only 6 mos!
So anyone get their rebates yet since I posted this topic?

Wirefly, no activation fee, 8/23 only.

For the rest of the day you get no activation fee ($36) when you buy the Epic 4G.
They only charge $239 for the phone to begin with. Given that I live in CA my savings were:
Tax: $28
Activation Fee: $36
Discount: $10
Total: $74 saved
Also I am not sure if I will get it but entering code WIREFLYBLUE22 should give you a free Bluetooth headset. People are reporting a 83% success rate on the site I found the code listed.

newegg has had the same deal for awhile. This is not a one day deal.

and if you order online from sprint, they give you free shipping and activation too
I think amazon.com has an activation fee, but they have the epic 4g for $200 now.

the only good thing i see on wirefly is the MIR(or at least they say about it), with sprint you still gotta go thru that annoying process.
anybody know if you can use wirefly to UPGRADE your phone?
Im due for an upgrade with Sprint, but i want to get this price from wirefly.

Yea, from what i can tell its the same price if you are renewing your contract. 239.99.......... I didnt see anything about the activation fee though. Check it out http://www.wirefly.com/eCommerce/ph...lag=&zipcode=&refcode1=&refcode2=&eid=&agent=
what should I expect on the release date if I get my phone from sprint? 349.00 then 100.00 MIR? I'm trying to conclude if the wirefly way is a smarter way to go.

Yup, thats going to be your out the door price. You could always try Best Buy or radio Shack to get the instant rebate at the counter
Tax with sprint or any other store at that will charge tax off of the base price not the discounted price I believe, thats over 40 bucks in CA.
So look for no taxes, if you are worried about that.

I bit the bullet with Wirefly. My advice for anyone else considering this option is make sure you understand exactly what they are doing with your Sprint account. Somehow the call center ppl put the wrong plan after I had told them many many times how I wasn't looking to change the plans on my account at all.
Has anyone else had good experiences with this company? They seem like a lot of frustration
Wirefly is sketch. They have this bull**** 6 month rule when you cancel your new contract within 6 months with any of the carriers, then they bill you $300 for "equipment recovery fee". So, for Verizon, I got hit with $375 from Verizon for ETF and $300 from Wirefly for a ****ing Droid 1 that I bought for $189. Do the math. They ****ing tried to rape me. AND, on top of that, they charged $300 to the same debit card I used to do the original transaction about EIGHT MONTHS after I originally did business with Wirefly. They did that illegally without my permission. They had paper billed me for it and I was telling myself "no way they're getting $300 when the phone was only worth $449".. then a $300 charge from "Simplexity" shows up on my bank statement.
Hate Wirefly. And, their "discounts" aren't even ****ing discounts. $10 off a phone? Give me a break.
I got the phone from Wirefly. I knew going into it the 6 month rule and I do not plan on making any changes or cancelling in that time. Also they have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee, so I can return in 30 days without issue.
I know they have a bad rep, but here is why I got it from them anyway.
No tax in California
Amazon only does new contracts
A free bluetooth headset(see OP)
Ships on the 31st
No rebate to deal with, $239.99 was exactly what they charged.

I'm not sure how long it will take, they had a overnight, 2 day, and free shipping options. I went with free. I did notice Amazon says "Ships in 7-8 days" so they are not even shipping on the 31st.
Good luck everyone who went this route. I chickened out and decided to not go with wirefly. I'm glad I didn't, they are sketch and I don't like dealing with online chats and outsourced call centers for "customer support"
Pretty nice feature.

The Shack has the Epic for $219.99

Went to Radio Shack yesterday to swap out my phone and they had it reduced to $219.99 . I had bought two of them at the Irvine,ca location and received $60 dollars back!!!
Edit :
Radio Shack will price match the phone if it goes on sale within 30days of the purchase date. For those like myself who bought on release day the 9/30 would be the last day for price match!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Wirefly has it for $199 with Free activation. ;o
damn I just got mine last weekend and paid 250 for it, I'm going back this weekend to get the price difference back.
I love Radio Shacks policies on this sort of stuff, by far the best to deal with when it comes to these things.
Thanks for posting, you just saved me some cash!
You are saying if we purchased the phone full the $250 ANYTIME, we can go and get money back for the reduced CURRENT price? Or only recently?
From what I can find, if the price drops within 30days of the CONTRACT opening date, then you can get the price difference? I opened the contract/purchased the phone on the 31st, today 30th is the final day of my 30 days.
I'm going to go to them and ask if I can get my $30 bucks back in the morning.
IMO even if the shack offers the lower price for the phone, it comes at a cost; the cost of only dealing with radio shack when it comes to any cell phone issues. I was debating this issue when i was switching to sprint.
I talked to a rep over the phone and she said that if i switched to sprint through a third party, everything has to be dealt with that third party. that also means radio shack does not have the authority to waive activation fees , waive restocking fee for phones if you decide to siwtch phones during the 30 day trial period. I decided to go with an official sprint store and got a heck of a deal. You just gotta let them know that youre serious and you want the best deal.
The sprint store rep hooked me up with waived activation fees for two lines, an extra battery for my epic, the offer to waive the restocking fee if i wanted to swtich phones to somehting else, completed my rebate for me, hooked me up with cool apps etc.
I dont mean to make your thread look bad , but i just wanna inform ya, and plus i cant sleep right now. for the 20$ difference i would still go to a official sprint store. just my two cents

Theres a flaw in your logic.
Radioshack THEMSELVES is not able to waive the activation fee. BUT as a Sprint Premiere customer, you can call up sprint and have THEM waive the activation. Which I did, and had 2 activation fees removed (from my Epic, and an upgrade on another line on my family plan)
$250 withOUT a mail-in rebate, + addition $30 difference refund is the cheapest you will be able to get the phone offline. In my experience Radioshack was pretty easy to deal with when getting a exchange (which I did for my 1st Epic with faulty battery).
So really, all you got was a free battery out of it. Which is a good deal in any case, but really the freebie is just to get your commission. When my friend got her Evo from Radioshack, they hooked her up with a free battery, case, and car charger! Anything for your business right?
got my $30 back! radioshack's fine..they swapped my phone out twice and after 30 days im a free man
if we bought on launch day, can we still go back today for the difference, I bought 2, so 60 bucks off would be nice.
I bought mine on launch and the other a week after. You have 30 day price guarantee

I'm getting conflicting answers!
I called one Radioshack, and they straight up said NO THE 29TH WAS THE LAST DAY TO DO IF YOU BOUGHT IT ON LAUNCH DAY.
Then another straight up said NO WE DON'T DO PRICE MATCH PERIOD.
Then another said, Yeah sure we can do the price match, today is the LAST day of the 30 days.
***EDIT***
I'm about to go to my Radioshack and ask them about the 'Price Protection'. I just spoke with another Radioshack store manager, and he said that TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF THE 30 DAYS FROM LAUNCH DAY, but that we are STILL eligible for the price protection. He said that if MY radioshack refuses to refund my money, that if I contacted him, he would call up the Sprint district manager to *personally* contact my store for the refund.
People, if your Radioshack tries to say YESTERDAY was the last day, don't be scared to put your foot down.

Thats if you look at the day of purchase as being a day.
I bought my Epic on the launch day (31st), and opened my contract on the 31st. They stated that you have 30 days from opening the contract which doesn't count the 31st as a "day".
I called Sprint to ask about adding insurance to my line which HAS to be done within 30 days of opening the contract TODAY, and the Sprint rep said TODAY is the last day of the 30 days to add insurance.
I know 'technically' that today is the 31st day. But contract wise, today is the 30th day.
I was told that my 2 year contract expired on the 30th of 2012, was also told I could add insurance up till the 30th. so radio shack should honor this, my store is kind of difficult so I'll make sure they notate that i was in there and they said no if they give me issues then insist on speaking to a district manager or call radioshack on the phone,
So I successfully got my 30 refunded.
It wasn't easy and my RS said that today was my 31st day. I went off on them in the store because they don't state that the 30 days starts on the day of purchase.
They ended up having to call sprint to over ride the system to allow my refund. I'm glad they went through the trouble to get my refund back but they shouldn't advertise a price protection policy if they don't wanna follow through with it.
My 30 days end today so I won't be dealing with radioshack anymore either way.

Thanks O.P. !
Thanks OP i went and got 90 bucks back
yea, I got my 63 dollars back, 2 phones, 30 dollars each plus tax, although at my radioshack, trying to do anything with wireless phones requires 15 trys and an hour of my time. I was a little annoyed by the end.

[Q] What price did you pay and/or best price available!?

When i got the G2 last month with a partial upgrade i had to pay $350, then found out costco had them for 99$ and that people were calling 611 and making tmobile price match that and getting theirs for around $150 in the end...
I ended up returning the HTC G2 after finding out i had paid almost 3 times too much.
I just ended up calling 611 for my Mytouch HD upgrade and she marked my account at $260 for an upgrade.
Is that worth it? is costco selling it for less again? I want to snag this phone up today so ill wait a few hours and read any posts i may get.

EDIT: After a huge debate with a customer service rep, i was able to get the phone for $149.99 + TAX, but it was harder then pulling teeth!!!!
I got mine for $150 and adde the $20 data plan. I also signed a two year contract. No upgrade fee and free shipping.
I got the family more plus plan so I wanted to put down $300 for the phone. At the end I paid $347 with 2 silicon case (20% off the cases if I got 2. So I bought one for my cousin.) and change, but I have about $182 and change left to pay.
myTouch4G (Glacier)
Hubby called retention and got it for $149.99 (matching wirefly's price) and free shipping. With the EIP, paid $30 up front, and 3x $40 for the next three months bill. This is the upgrade price (+ 2 more years of contract) which I don't mind since we like T-mo and we're on a grandfathered plan.
Should be here on Wednesday.
I got mine at Costco. $200 - $50 MIR = $149.
i got mine from tmo for 99 then a 2nd one for 149 .... which i havent opened if anyone interested lol
Got mine for 150 on a new contract... - my 30% discount (radioshack) and - the 45$ I got from tmo in commission for selling the contract... breaks down to 75+sales tax
Then in 3 months the contract gets shredded when I convert it to dealer line

I showed this to my tmobile store and they wanted my activations so they sold it to my for 79.99 and gave me a $50 T-Mobile rebate, so I never had to use my BoA card and I walked out of the store with 2 MT4G's. My gf wanted the purple one (I got the black) so I made them take the class 4 sd cards out of another black one and replace the purple's class 2.
Yes you read that right. Black ones get class 4 sandisk sd cards and the purple ones all had class 2 samsung sd cards. Not sure about the other colors.
Got mine for $149.99 thru retentions
But I wish I would have been one of the lucky to get it for $99 lol but $50 isn't something for me to get up in arms about because either way I got a deal I believe.

How much did this phone cost you?

I pre-ordered the Atrix using AT&T's web store for $320.99 after tax. I assumed the packaging would include a $100 mail in rebate since I'd see the phone advertised for $199 everywhere else.
When I got the phone, there was no rebate material in the box.
I then called AT&T and asked for the $100 rebate. They said I needed to go to an AT&T store to get the rebate. This afternoon, I went to an AT&T store and they said there is no rebate unless you buy the dock. I called AT&T again to complain and they explained I would have to return my phone and buy a new one to get the $199 price. Unfortunately, my sister threw out my packaging so it seems I now spent $320 on a $200 phone. Major bummer.
Does this seem idiotic to anyone else?
So, were any of you guys screwed in a similar way?
I wasn't upgrade eligible but the AT&T website automatically gave me the early upgrade price of $299 and also an instant online discount of $100 so I paid 217 total with taxes. I was actually ready to buy off contract for $499 but it wouldn't give me the option. I recommend you call back and try another rep. I've heard of others that have received the discount after complaining.
i never buy from att anymore, i buy from best buys. they charge you for the phone at the same price as att but without needing a rebate, plus they tax you only on that amount not on the full retail like att does.
Costco. 119.00 plus tax. They even threw in a cheap wired headset and holster.

$175
originally quoted down to $299 over the phone for a "special" early upgrade price because I am not eligible til 2/12.
I ended up having the opportunity to port a dummy business line and have my boss pay for the pay increase. They allowed me to use the line activation to get the atrix on my line and then buy a go phone for the new line. I brought in an amazon print out for $149 and they said they couldn't match but would give me 25 off. so all in all I made out great. LOVE the phone btw. makes my crappy completely forgettable.
$325 unactivated with my employee discount

FREE!!!!!!!
was due for an upgrade like a year ago, my iphone crapped out on me and I had no money. Went into brandsmart and got an HTC Aria for a penny with my contract renewal, the lady didnt feel like breaking my $20 bill so I got the aria for free this past November. When the atrix came out my next upgrade wasnt till 2012, but when I looked at it on att website it was giving it to me for $200, so I ordered it. I then sold my HTC Aria on ebay and recouped my $200 thus making the Atrix free. this phone is incredible!!!!! couldnt be happier!!!
Always check best buy first no matter who u use. Usually any mail in rebates any carrier gives u will be an instant rebate at best buy.

Free...I kept having a captivate reboot issue (7 phones) and eventually convinced them to send me the atrix.

Wow this has been a pretty enlightening threat. I've learned to never pre-order and just buy from Costco instead.
My debacle was resolved last night. I found my packaging in the trash at home and brought it to a local AT&T corporate store. They said I had to return the phone and buy a new one in order to get my $100+ back. All told it was a pretty ridiculous process but at least I ended up buying it for $199 eventually. Also, now i have another Atrix I need to root and setup to my liking. Oh well.
$99 from Amazon.com
$249 from a local reseller.
Traded a desire hd that I bought off craig list for 400.

$149 from local AT&T store. Wasn't upgrade eligible yet, but they agreed to allow early upgrade and price match local retailers, and Radio Shack was running them at $149. AT&T website had them at $199 at the time.
$106.49, tax included, on launch day (Feb 22) at an AT&T store.
Had a 100 dollar off upgrade on one of the lines of my family plan.
540 USD (include tax) at AT&T-Miami store (No contract).
Costco: $119+tax.
Went back a week later to get a new Atrix (old one was messed up) and saw that they had it for $99. I got $20 back on my CC. In the end:
$99+tax. (Costco price for upgrade or new line).
One billion dollars
