Went to upgrade my kids Samsung. Walked out with a brand new g6 for 125 bucks. They have a killer deal this weekend on the g6. At least here in Arizona.
You have to pay for the phone over 24 months. There is no contract but you don't have the option to pay it off early. It's the same thing as a contract because they offer you credits each month. Here's the deal that expires today.
1. New Unlimited plan - $65 a month
2. Enter coupon code ACTWEB at Sprint.com and get an additional $30 off; so the total is $90 - Link
3. The $30 discount for using the above coupon code is applied after the second billing cycle
4. Pay $5 a month over the course of 24 months. There is no paying early or paying it off because you receive a credit each month. This is how they make sure you stay for 2 years. It is a contract because if you leave, your savings goes out the window and you have to pay the full amount of the phone $708 because you don't get those credits.
The problem is that I don't want a new line for $65 a month cause I don't need unlimited as I am fine with paying $32.50 a month for only 6GB which is more than I need.
Plus, let's say you want to sell this phone after a year. You can't because you still haven't paid off the phone yet and you can't pay off early which is why they do this deal to begin with. They want to make sure you stay with them.

In that case, it's great news except I don' t want to add a new unlimited line.This is not correct, at least for adding a line. I can pay it off anytime. In fact I just did. You can see the slickdeals thread on this offer for more accurate info.

A consistent verbiage I hear from former Sprint customers is how glad they are to "be out from their clutches"...or as I would put it "Sprint away from them." Even when T-Mobile does amazing phone deals, you always have the option for early pay off. Something not right about this deal.
I wouldn't want to add a new unlimited line either. I just added the new line to my current plan.
