Article:

Direct Link:

Once you enter your info, you will find out that they will charge you $18.99 for the activation fee (per line). So in reality this is not that good of a deal after all.

**ATC Buckeye** · 06-06-2011, 09:34 PM

But if you get it from the Shack or BB, doesn't Sprint hit you with some sort of activation fee? I was thinking it was like $36 or something?

Are other places offering free activation?

**ATC Buckeye** · 06-06-2011, 09:41 PM

Only place I know that does free activation is Sprint.com. They even whack you with that BS charge if you go to a Sprint store, IIRC.

**enthuz** · 06-09-2011, 12:22 PM

I'm not being charged with an activation fee. I'm not sure if that is because I'm a Premiere customer or not.

**flipdippy** · 06-09-2011, 12:57 PM

Wow...this makes things interesting. I had been looking at waiting until the fall for a new device, but I can easily sell my EVO on ebay/CL for $200, making this free.

Hard to say what the price of a used EVO will be after 3D, and with annual upgrades, this is damn tempting.

I wish we knew how easy it will be to root this thing.

**enthuz** · 06-09-2011, 01:05 PM

Sprint is offering $150 for EVOs in their buy back program.

**Djblue** · 06-09-2011, 01:23 PM

Don't expect to get it on launch date if you pre order form Amazon or Wirefly

Wirefly stated from an online chat that they will get them and start shipping on the 26th....so the earliest you could get the phone is the 27th if you pay for 1 day shipping.

Amazon states that the estimated delivery time is July 1st with the free 2 day shipping

So don't be upset if you are expecting to get it on the 24th and order from Amazon or wirefly. If you must have it on launch go pre order at a local store like most people have already done.

EDIT- Also if anyone is interested here is the friends/family link for the Evo 3d preorder from wirefly. It only charges you 149.99, but only with this link

Bump --- For the New $149 Price :

**everyday17** · 06-09-2011, 02:04 PM

Wow thanks for that link, the $180 price wasn't enough to push me over to Wirefly as opposed to doing the Sprint Premier order (~$30 after tax difference in NY), but that $150 price did it! Ground shipping from Wirefly only takes a day, so I should have it a week later at worst and save ~$65-70 after tax. Sprint charges tax for me based on full retail price, Wirefly based on subsidized price.

**jrojas12** · 06-09-2011, 02:10 PM

No activation fee with Amazon

**VickMackey#AC** · 06-09-2011, 02:49 PM

Wirefly all the way, I don't care if it takes a week!!!!!

**everyday17** · 06-09-2011, 02:51 PM

Even if Sprint doesn't waive it, $150+$18 < $180. I did that in my head though, if you want to check my math with a calculator feel free.

**sprinttouch** · 06-09-2011, 03:11 PM

wtf, my contract ended in January of this year. How am i not eligible??!!?

**solo1** · 06-09-2011, 03:31 PM

Text Upgrade to 1311 and see what eligibility info they send you back.

**sambao21** · 06-09-2011, 03:34 PM

im just concerned that it'll be backordered at this price and i won't have a new phone for who knows how long, but for 2 phones, this would save me $100

**nebke** · 06-09-2011, 03:44 PM

I've never bought from Amazon, how does it manage the free activation? Does it come activated or something?

**linh.nguyen** · 06-09-2011, 07:15 PM

well, that pushed me.. pre-ordered from wirefly.

I know your question is about ordering through Amazon, but this thread is about Wirefly ... Did you mean Wirefly.com or Amazon.com?

When you pre-ordered, did you pay the full price at checkout?

**rowan555** · 06-09-2011, 08:54 PM

I bought an HTC Arrive from Amazon last week, and I HATE it. I just learned about the EVO 3D, and since I ordered the Arrive from Amazon, I just called to make an exchange. The rep was unable to give me any details about when it will ship, on the site it simply says "backordered." It wasn't even listed on the site at all two days ago when I looked for it. Hoping I don't have to wait too long, but it will be worth it regardless. I may wait a few days before returning the Arrive, b/c then I'll have to settle for my 4 year old Blackberry til the EVo comes in.

I paid $160. That's what the receipt says ($9 tax... I live in MD, wirefly is in VA... guess they have offices here or something). Though, maybe I should have paid for 2 day shipping, ha.

They did list the $18 activation fee prior to checkout =/
