You sure? cause mine told me that the Evo and Shift were $100, and UP TO $75 for any other phone that is on their "list", and the manager was the one doing my pre-order >.>; But if yours is true, I wouldn't say that is being ripped off, cause then as long as you have alot of phones, you can easily get it for almost zero!
I know that if it really is just "any smart phone" then I'll be trading in my Pre Minus, AND my dad's old Palm Centro and getting $150 off right there! meaning i'd just have to pay roughly $60 ta $65 bucks for the phone! (added $20 ta $25 cause of tax that should be there >.< )
The guaranteed $75 is one phone per 3D purchase. So you will get $75 for one, and whatever the regular value of the other is. Not $75 for both.
I called my the RS near my home and I was told depending on condition the max I could get is $127. Maybe it depends on the store?
I called my RS where I pre ordered my 2 evo 3d's last week and where I was told I would get 180.00 for my OG Evo and now he tells me as of today it's worth 127.00 on a trade. Uhh can you say bait and switch much? Completely ****ed up imo. The guy agreed but of course nothing he can do he says that's what corporate does sometimes. I called because of this thread and so now I don't know what I should do. 127.00 a fair price for a out of the box MINT MINT MINT evo that looks the same as the day I got it? I think not....I'm a little peeved not gonna lie.
Trade in values change. Usually at least once a month. It will decrease as time goes on, and with the 3D coming soon, expect a big drop.
Anyone know if the activation fee will be wavied. I talked to my local shack (love saying that) and they said it is $35 and comes down from sprint so they can't waive it. I know wirefly will only charge 19. So its 20 more plus tax and twice the activation fee I'm starting to regret my shack preorder
Whoa, wait, what????! Um..... wait, again WHAT?!?!?!?!
Ok, just from that, I'm marching down to Radio Shack tomorrow and asking ALOT of questions about that.. specifically in which: "can i just HAVE my phone without activation?".... **** paying ANY money for activating it THERE when i can simply walk over to the actual sprint store, and get it activated for FREE....
New Account - $36 Activation fee.
Upgrade - $18 Upgrade fee.
That's a sprint thing, not a RS thing. We can't change it. If you are not buying the phone outright, you will incur one of these two charges. It is not a charge for the actual act of activation. Anyone can activate any sprint phone for free themselves on sprint.com.
Also note, when ordering from Wirefly, they have a whole second mini contract with their own hefty termination fee, which is something you won't run into anywhere else.
Hope that clarifies things.
