Phone for free?

[monil]

I see the phone price dropped to $0 on sprint.com today. Not sure when they changed it.

If we bought the phone a few days ago (15-20 days) for $$, will Sprint refund me some money back?

How soon do the prices change for other phones in general?

I called to return my new one, and they did offer to match the $0 price.

$50 rebate card still applies, of course.
Can't say I'm really impressed with Telesales and Order Support at the moment, though.

They are determined to try to charge a $35 restocking fee because "you activated the phone, so it isn't new anymore".
How the **** do they expect you to determine if you are like it during the 30-day satisfaction guarantee period if you can't turn it on?

thats the way any wireless company works. Charge fees and customer shall pay.

Sprint initially declined to price match, I told them I will cancel the service. Got transferred to telesales and they were more than happy to pricematch.

I got mine for free on Wirefly, I never buy from sprint, they never have good deal till they plan on EOL a device. Also this makes me think they might be considering EOLing our device rather soon, which makes me wonder if they'll have a new model by Christmas

Same here I got mines at wirefly. Iv shoped there for many years now and always got my phones for free. Wirefly and letstalk are the best for phone purchases they have fast delivery and no activation fee.

How doe sit work with Sprint Sero, does Wirefly honor that grandfather plan? I have been to Sprint corporate, Radioshack, all of them told me flatly to upgrade my plan by as much as twice before I could think about getting a smart phone.

To be honest im not sure about that but u can deff call them so theycan assist you. But now im hearing that even sprint made it for free.

the only downside with Wirefly/Lets talk is the fact if you change your plan
they charge extra.

I will say this clearly: almost all Android devices require "Everything Data" or higher plan, with extra $10 charge because they expect you to consume a lot of data with your premium handset. The "Replenish" runs Android but does not require the $10 riser. It's kinda like a fake Blackberry with a smug eco-top-hat and fascinating solar charger option.

If you mostly make calls, stick with a basic phone and cheap plan. If you get a smartphone or superphone then PAY the premium and use it constantly.

actually, when I got my first phone with wirefly I had a regular plan for my grl, then I added an addon line and switched to fam plan for echo and they didnt charge anything.

And I still got the echo for free with an addon line and that was about a month ago.

Maybe they changed
