How much are you paying for the Epic 4G Touch?

My friend needs a new phone with new number and he is gonna go to Sprint. I am making him hold for the epic 4g touch. If he gets a prepaid number now from some mobile provider and then port the number to sprint after epic touch releases, would sprint give him $125 credit? If it could happen, he will save around $100. Any ideas??
Oh, nevermind i forgot they wont tell you in the stores, but you can do it online!
If someone can clarify:
If im under a family plan, not the main line, can i transfer over to sprint with the 125 promo ?
Thanks!

If you get 125 for your EVO then yes .. you also maybe paying 36 bucks for connection but not sure you will have to ask that at the store. But remember 3rd parties charge more from what i can tell so if Sprint has them for 500 the BB,RS and others might charge more then that. And Sprint allows you to bill the price rather than paying for it at the store.

The 125.00 is for accessories only, so I was told by a csr at my local corporate store. Sucks!
call Customer service. see if you extend your plan for another to years would they allow you to use to use the EVO to get the phone. if they do make sure they put it in the notes to your account. then call the b4 going down to get one to make sure you won't have any problems...Good LuckThe 125.00 is for accessories only, so I was told by a csr at my local corporate store.

wait till your next billing cycle & then take a look @ you bill & cross check your sprint ADMINISTRATION FEE & see if it's changed from your last bill. if it has call sprint & choose the Cancel or Close your account option to be routed to a customer retention agent & verify with them that by that fee changing did it null/void you existing contract. If there was a change made on their part to your contract via changing the ADMIN fee, then you should be able to walk away without a ETF..i was able walk away from my contract the last time they raised that fee. I was persuaded with a few perks to remain a customer.. I remember the agent asking me i was seriously going to another carrier because of the 5 cent increase & i told here if that fee change voided my contract then i sure was...
Why don't you just sell your photon on e bay or clist? You'll easily get more than $150 for it.
Wow... I feel a little upset with Sprint. I tried to get them to reset my eligibility a few weeks ago for the Photon and they wouldn't do it. The rep I talked to said call back near the end of September because Sprint does their end of quarter stuff then and they can be more lenient on resetting one's eligibility.
Now I am going to have to call them again. I am totally going to get a Epic Touch. My Epic is wonderful but the greater battery life is just too much for me to resist (all the other cool things are just a bonus, or so thats what the wife will hear
).Until this morning, I would have paid ya $200-250 for your photon! Now, I'm going to get the Epic Touch, sorry
I went to best buy thinking about getting the photon but I wasn't eligible for an upgrade. They called sprint for me and had them approve me for an early upgrade so you might have bb call for you
It is only $499 to buy it outright with no contract extension. Next summer sell it for $200 with a net cost of $300 and no contract extension.
I just called telesales. The phone outright is $549. 99. The rep sounded like she was reading right from the screen so I believe thats the price in their system.

I've tried this several times and was basically told by Sprint that this was a promotion that ended Aug.1st. So I called a Sprint store explained that I wanted the phone by missed the promotion. The salesman told me to come in ask for him personally and he'd see what he could do.
So I went in and he's asked me if I wouldn't mind cancelling my line on my family plan, if so I'd have a $140 ETF but he would give me a $125 credit bringing the ETF to $15 then he could change my number and give me the phone for $199 and my plan and contract wouldn't change and my second line wouldn't be affected or my Premiere status.
So I put a deposit of $50+ tax and when the phone comes out I will have a new GSII for $180 and if I trade in my EVO it'll be roughly $55 no activation fee
