Will Sprint match Amazon's price for SIII?

**jmk32** · 09-12-2012, 07:11 AM

Saw yesterday that Amazon has a new deal on the SIII for $99 for new acct, $50 more for an upgrade. Does anyone know if I go to a Sprint store today if they price match Amazon?

99.9% Certain they will not. They do not have control to lower prices or match. But at the store you will get a instant buy back of your old phone. Ready now service and if you need to you can exchange your phone at a store. If the new one is defective.

That's too bad as Sprint told me I have to pay a $110 early upgrade fee, so I was hoping to get the cost of the SIII down a little more, and Amazon's $149 is better than Sprint.com's current $199...

So I suppose there's no way out of this early upgrade fee? (this is for my wife's phone, with a current upgrade date of June of next year)

110 for early upgrade fee we only had to pay 50 when I got my s3.

Depends on how many months you have remaining on your existing contract.

Nope when I was looking to upgrade, I saw it for $150.00 at CompUsa and went to Sprint and they said no way will they match it. Went to BB and they price matched it no problem.

Sprint does not and has never matched other places prices. They are the kings of mail in rebates. Most people do not fill out the rebate. Even ones that are worth 50 to 100 dollars or more. Somewhere around 35% of people actually do it. So it is just extra money in sprints pocket

What does the NFL and Brokeback Mountain have in common? The Cowboys suck...

I got Best Buy Mobile to match it. I didn't know it was only for new activations since I was upgrading my son's phone, and BBM didn't notice either. The only catch was they had to mail it to me, but I could live with that. I get the phone tomorrow.

Best Buy is the best. They priced matched Amazon's 149.99 for upgrade. Then they gave me the 50.00 mobile freedom. They also took my what was left of my crappy original HTC Evo and gave me 48.00 for it. Then I had 20.00 premier reward voucher. So I ended up paying only 32.00 for a brand new Galaxy S3. Gotta love Best Buy.
