Nexus S now a free phone :O

[HuskerD]

Amazon. $49 for new lines & $99 for upgrades.

Sorry for the follow up question here, but I've never ordered a phone from Amazon (or any online place). If I have Sprint acct with family plan, can I order new phone from AW with new line (add-on to family plan) and pay $49? I didn't think that AW could do that with Sprint yet, but I wasn't sure if they have tapped into the Sprint backoffice to allow this. TIA.

$50 makes it so tempting. If only Sprint had 4G in my area, I'd consider dumping AT&T.

dammit, i got excited when I saw the thread title =(

Yes, you are able to upgrade using amazon...even if you are on a family plan

I wonder, how does Sprint handle cancellations?

If I could transfer my number to Google Voice which will cancel my current contract, then do a new contract and retransfer my number, I wonder how Sprint will handle the ETF....I WANT THE NEXUS S.

I can't stop reading stuff about it.

as a former att orange customer, i have +/- 3000 rollover minuets from 'migration' to att blue. hard to give that up.
the $100 amazon savings only makes up for 250 mins.

BUT, the nexus s 4g IS 'pure' google...AND google wallet eligible...

decisions, decisions...

Well considering you don't use any minutes unless you call a landline on sprint it more than makes up for it.

Anyone have any idea if I would still get the 125 for switching from another carrier or is that only if I order through sprint?

I'm returning mine back to sprint with the 30 day return thing and re-ordering from amazon. Even if they charge me $35 restocking fee, I'm still up $65 and might not have to pay $18 upgrade fee if I just activate it myself online (not sure how it works, but this was the first time I've had to spend more money to get a phone I already bought activated on my account..stupid fees).

The phones have to be activated through the phone number that Amazon gives you but the guy said that there was no upgrade fee because I had ordered it on the internet and not used the phone or did the upgrade in store.

I heard about that rumor but sprint's free activation on amazon ends tonight. Save $30 on activation now or wait until tomorrow in hopes that the phone is free? If the rumor is false, I'll have to pay more...

oh damn, didn't know there was a free activation promo ending.. shoot. and it seems it might not be free, but more like $50: Amazon Cuts Android Phone Prices for Memorial Day - Mobile and Wireless - News & Reviews - eWeek.com

 

[theotherlinh]

though, on a random note, does anyone have any experience ordering multiple line upgrades? I might still take all four of our lines to Nexus S's if they're $50

Free activation when you buy a Sprint phone between midnight PDT May 23, 2011, through 11:59 p.m. PDT May 29, 2011. It says it can take up to three billing cycles to appear as credit on your bill.

Here's the details on the free activation: http://wireless.amazon.com/f/sprint...tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU954567

I noticed. I should have got it for $99 with free activation. Oh well... Hopefully it goes on sale again soon. My pre is begging to get upgraded.
