[Q] Sprint Line Upgrade Question - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Wondering if anyone has had this happen to them:
I have a family plan with 5 lines. All the lines are do up for 2 year upgrades. I went into BestBuy yesterday and upgraded my brothers line to the LTE for 60 with trade in. I checked sprint online and his contract was already showing updated with the contract detail locked in for 2 years.
I upgraded my line thru Walmart to the LTE about 2 weeks ago and my line is still showing with a $150 upgrade available. I checked through the Sprint online and through the automated line. Both say the same.
I am wondering if I can just go into BB and upgrade my line again and get another LTE...

Probably so. Same thing happened to me at best buy last year. I waited three months and it never showed the new contract locked in. I went to the sprint store a few months later and upgraded again with no issues.

Same thing happened to my wife at Wal-mart. The upgrade is still showing as available for her. I'll think she'll hold onto it for next year though, she likes being able to get a new phone every year HAHA

Thanks for the reply. Here is my situation. I bought through Walmart and paid 170 and we went to Best Buy for my brothers and got his for 60 with OG Evo trade in. I was going to return my LTE to Walmart and go to best buy to get the 60 dollar deal becuase I have an extra EVO with a broken charging port that has been laying there for a while with no use.
But when I saw the my upgrade is still available I think im just going into Best Buy to try to upgrade another on my line and just sell my EVO LTE on Craigslist or something. I dont want to risk returning and losing out on the upgrade...

Whatever your prerogative is man, go for it. I was tempted to do another upgrade on my wifes line and just sell the phone for cash, but alas, she wants to keep her upgrade for next year lol
It's gotta have something to do with the cahsiers doing the upgrades wrong. My wife and I both got our phones at Wal-mart, but mine shows the upgrade as used. Oh well

same thing happened to me through wal-mart. upgrade eligibility retained after buying at wal-mart. woot.

If I am not mistaken the etf for your existing line gets pro rated down as the contract term ends. I dumped my wife's EVO for an iPhone after 8 months ant the ETF was 150.00
If you were close to upgrade time you might only have a 50.00 ETF.

Best method of upgrade for Current Evo Owners?

I need to start hearing some possible options since it looks like next month will be the release date.
I joined Sprint last year when the Evo released.
What would you guys do if you wanted the EVO 3D?
Thanks
Did you check your upgrade eligibility on https://manage.sprintpcs.com/specialoffers/RebateWelcome.do
Like you, I joined sprint last year on the launch day of the EVO4G at the $69.99 plan. This site says I am eligible for a full upgrade for the phone on my account. Interestingly enough it says at the bottom this program ends June 4th.

i have the same thing. I got the evo 4g at launch. up until april 1st the system said that I had a $150 credit avalible june 1st 2011. now it says I have a $75 credit june 1st and a full credit 4-1-12! All I did was call sprint telesales (they are the only ones that can do this) I very polity asked if I could have my upgrade back because I would like to get the evo 3D. they put me on hold, when they came back they said that I could get my upgrade back and that I needed to call on june first because that is when my account resets. She also said that she was making notes in my account to make this easy when I called back. i asked her to send me an email confirming this conversation. I got a email that had her specialist id# team name and date (dont think i need it but
I have had problem with sprint in the past)
So basically if you have a $75 credit right now you can call sprint telesales (888-253-1315) and ask for your $150 credit back. Mentioning the evo 3d may or may not help, but the rep did talk about the evo 3d for a second with me when I noted I wanted to get one.
Just got my upgrade back to $150..telesales didn't help me they routed my call to account services...all I did was act dumb about not knowing about the premier changes. I told him I had a full upgrade in March and all of a sudden my full upgrade was gone...so he went through all the details about the changes...and then reset my account thus giving me back my full upgrade oh yeah and made sure I got a email of the conversation

If I wanted it? I do. It will release next month. I will be absolutely flabbergasted if it doesn't come out on June 3rd (also my birthday). That would be a deviation from their tradition of releasing phones on fridays, big-deal phones on the first friday of june and also neglect to honor the Evo4G's anniversary(ish)...
The Evo really was a big deal for Sprint, just as the Evo3D is....does anyone remember Sprint's phone selection prior to the Evo4G? Quirky at best for dumbphones, random (crap) at best for smartphones....the hero or the moment or a BB....ick....and the hero--while a great phone--was a fluke.
So what am I doing? I will be trading in my Evo4G for $180 at Radioshack, I called Sprint and got my upgrade turned back into full (from $75) and I reserved a phone at Radioshack...so I will most likely be walking into Radioshack at 5am on June 3rd and likely walking out at 5:30am on with $25 in my left hand and the best smartphone to date in my right hand--as I was told (when I posed this exact question) by the RS sales rep who agreed, whose manager agreed and whose district manager agreed that they would all be shocked if it didn't come out on June 3rd....none of us know better, it just fits a pattern...and for the Evo a new tradition.
That's what I'd do.
if ur like me, i need an upgrade every yr
all u have to do is stick with a plan tht is $89.99 and up to become a gold member and receive a yrly upgrade. Next yr the Evo 3D will be a dinosaur and so I rather be a gold member than have to upgrade evey 2 yrs. I lost my upgrade in feb with the new changes but got it back cuz they made a mistake and put me as a silver member. I've been on the everything plan for months and tht qualifies me to be a gold member. i since changed my plan to the everything data 900 $89.99...if i go any less than tht then i'll be a silver member again! no waaaay!
before the evo phone came out, The touch pro 2 was a great phone but wasnt an android phone but the screen was big.

If you plan on upgrading every year then it should pay to go with the higher plan as it should run less then purchasing a new phone at full retail once a year.
Luckily I have been with Sprint over 10 years so I qualify for gold otherwise I would never be able to convince my wife to spend more money on our cell phone bill.
Being able to deal with Sprint for over 10 years, I totally feel like I deserve the yearly upgrade! I have been on the phone for countless number of hours over the years with some of the worst customer service on the planet and had some of the most stressful phone calls with them.
As a long time customer, I must say they customer service has improved more then words can describe from where it was back in the day......
I'm new to Sprint.. Got the original EVO on launch and was wondering, what if I canceled my account, pay the ETF, and open another account?
You guys are having a lot of luck resetting your credit to $150. I spoke to supervisors and a whole slew of reps without any luck.
I'm am going to do this:

Etf is only $120, I'll open a new acct, switch numbers, then cancel the old one and sell my evo 4g. In the end, it might turn out to be a free phone.

A simpler thing to do would just add a new line then cancel the old one. Why go through to trouble of opening a whole new account.
Wouldn't it be much easier/cheaper to sell our Evos on Ebay for around $250 then buy the Evo 3D from Sprint for $425 (Assuming the Evo 3D is $500 minus the $75 rebate)? This all varies depending on the price of the Evo 3D and how much you can sell your Evo in Ebay.

I totally agree.
I've been with them for 9 1/2 years, Oct 15 is my 10yr anniversary. I contacted [email protected] and they're supposed to be calling me back Monday. I'm going to see if they can change my upgrade back to 6/1 which is what it was before the premier policy change.

Just checked that page and same thing.
It says June 1st $75 and 4/1/12 $150.
I am a little confused though. I am one year into my 2 year commitment. If i were to use this "upgrade" from Sprint, Would I be adding 2 years making it a 3 year commitment.
Not sure I want to to commit that long. Any idea what the outright price of the phone will be? Noticed you could also trade in my Evo for $150 account credit.

The upgrade pricing is for signing a new 2yr contract which takes the place of your current contract so you would be on a new 2yr contract, not 3yr.
They have a bunch of different options when signing a new contract like if are premier silver and only a year into your contract you can sign a new 1yr and get $25 off a new phone, or a new 2 yr and get $75 off a new phone (which you will be eligible for on 6/1). After your contract expires (4/1/2012) and you are eligible for a full upgrade you can get $75 off with a new 1yr and $150 off with a new 2yr contract.
The problem is that new phones have discounts and rebates which you're only eligible for with a full upgrade. As with the EVO the phone was $550 I believe w/ $100 mail-in-rebate, $150 upgrade, and it's $200 purchase price that comes to $450. The other $100 was an instant rebate that sprint gives you and I'm almost positive that you only get that rebate with the full upgrade price. I'm even pretty sure you're not eligible for the mail-in-rebate so the difference between the 1yr and 2yr upgrades is really about $275 rather than just the difference between $75 and $150. Someone correct me if I am wrong but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

You would get the EVO 3d for the discounted price on the new line.
Now what can I do I have had the Evo since October and my upgrade was supposed to be this year but got it anyways the whole first month I exchanged it, all different problems. 3 times and now I have a white Evo with the same dust problems and light leak and a few dings on the top right any suggestions?
Sprint is starting to piss me off, they're trying to screw me out of my yearly upgrade and talking to customer service is a complete waste of time. Now I'm trying to post a question to sprints message board and this is the second night in a row it has gone down for maintenance at the very moment I try to post my question.... and now it's back up five minutes later.
Google 'customer service hall of shame' and you'll see Sprint's been number one for three or four years now.

just had to get that off my chest

$75 Upgrade hope

Like a few others here, I am only eligible for the $75 upgrade (got a moment back in april last year, bought evo outright when it launched), which at best, would land me the 3D for $395 (if amazon honors it). I decided to snoop around the internet some more and came across this:http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3011929
I haven't tried it yet, but I will tomorrow. I'm on a secondary line on our family plan, so if it works for me, it should work for anyone else.
I will post my success or failure (knock on wood) story below. If anyone else has luck, please post!
How is this any different than the "absolute CS" thread?

I hate to bump this thread but gotta tell you something. The fact that you are the secondary line and not the primary on your family plan isn't good for you. If your primary line is eligible for the 12 month premier gold upgrade then they're not going to do it on another line. Sprint has been doing this for people who were on Premier before the Gold/Silver thing and lost their 12 month upgrade. Your secondary line would have never had the 12 month upgrade. Your best bet is to get them to reset the date on the main line unless you are already sprint premier gold then use that line to buy the phone and after they activate it go back online and switch that lines old phone back to it and switch your evo 3d to your line.
I can't speak for anyone else, but it worked for me. I was able to get two lines (neither were the primary) upgraded, and both lines got the evo with in 2 weeks of the initial release.
I called and asked if there was a way I could get the 3d at the 199 price, the lady put me on hold, then came back and said I could buy my upgrade for $75 for each line. I said no thank you, then I politely asked if there was anyway I could do it without paying. She put me on hold again, and came back and told me I would be pushed through in a few hours. She even called me a few hours later to let me know I was ready to preorder.
Yes it also worked for me. My primary line was already elgible, but they still upgraded my number which was a secondary, I had no luck with the 3rd line though.
Did it earlier today after talking to the 2nd CSR. The main line on my account WAS premier gold (we got it upgraded back in april this year). My secondary line which would've been eligible come this december got it's eligibility reset, so it's now eligible. Just like with shadowhawk2020, they called me about 2 hours later telling me that I was eligible for the fully discounted upgrade.

damn I had tried a few times with no luck then got the purchase option.. I took it, worried that i had no other choice. whatever it's still way cheaper this way
ive been with sprint forever and i've learned from experience just keep repeating a problem you have had with there service or something you don't agree about while your trying to get what you want and even if it takes you all the way to the cancellation department they are the ones that can do the most for you anyway. i've had them send me new phones. i had an upgrade from touch pro to touch pro 2 for free. i got them to give my secondary line an upgrade a year early. and now just recently got them to push my upgrade a year early for my evo to evo3d not to mention having money knocked off my bill. just gotta play your cards man. goodluck

Please help!!!!

I really want to get this phone. My situation is that my contract doesn't end until next year but my yearly upgrade is 7/1 when and how will i be able to get the phone for $199?
Keep Waiting... LOL

You can get it in the 1st of July If you have an upgrade then.

lol just wait a few weeks.
i'd reccomend just waiting a couple of weeks, however....
If you really want to try and push it call: (877) 775 4886
It's the sprint customer service line that i've had the best luck with, they seem really nice.
Say you really want to get the EVO 3d, and want to get your upgrade moved up. Sometimes they say yes, sometimes they say no. They moved mine up from september to june.
Just hang up and call back if they say no, try a couple of times and you'll eventually get a rep that will move it for you.
Be persistent it took me 3 calls but they did it at no cost. At first they wanted me to buy out of my contract but I kept calling. My upgrade was january. Good luck
I would just wait 7 days.... I only pushed for two of my upgrades because they were August and next year.
wow we have the same upgrade day! lol i was wondering about this also. so is it 199.99 even though it's only a 1 year upgrade?

I'm 90% sure that the yearly upgrade ($75 off) only takes 75 off the original price the store is selling it for. So if its $599, you get it for $524 if you're at 1 year. The 2 year upgrade people (And 1 year gold) are getting extras off that 1 years can't get, or the 2 years would be paying 449 for the phone.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong... Someone who works with sprint or RS or BB may know better.

No, it will be much more expensive with a 1 year upgrade. However, lots of people (including myself) have had luck calling the number GreenKnight posted to get their full (2 year) upgrade early. Most people are saying to wait because it seems like the key to getting moved up is already having your one year upgrade available. As always Your Milage May Vary.
Call the number. My one year wasn't until August and I got it pushed up for a full upgrade.
i havent tried the number but i did do that thing where you pm'd that dude at the sprint user forums and he forwarded it to someone who would help get you an early upgrade but they said that since my upgrade came in july that it was not eligible for that.... :/
My 75$ upgrade eligability isn't until 7/1 as well but I called last Thursday said no . So i hanged up and tried sprint chat and they upgraded me to full discount....

i was just given the $75 upgrade not long ago and i was suppose to get my full upgrade in march 2012. I called sprint and told them im tired of my pos phone and asked them to move my upgrade or im leaving...the supervisor I spoke to instantly gave me the upgrade. I checked 10 minutes after getting off the phone with him and it was there.
and its not like i did a dishonest thing. Im getting an Evo 3D and they get my money for another 2 years. win win situation.

Well you manipulated your way, unfairly, into an early upgrade, so if that doesn't bother you, then you are good to go. But, they are getting their money so w/e i guess.

I called that number and I got 2 of my lines a full upgrade but I wonder I'm running sprint lovers on my current evo will that be enough or should I unroot?

How to get an EVO 3d?

Not sure how I can get one... I've been with Sprint less than a year, I believe my wife and I got our EVOs in September... I'm Silver Premier automatically through my employer. Is there any way for me to get a discounted EVO 3D or am I looking at $599?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
You can trade your EVO in to Sprint or Target and get $150 off ($449)
Or i have 1 on Marketplace on here for $450 which ill have in hand tomorrow ordered 4 keeping 3 selling 1.
sell ur evos on CL, use that to knock off some of the retail price, may save about 50%+

I've been with Sprint since September and I'm getting mine on Friday for the discounted price. I called the retention line (posted in another thread) and asked them to do a manual override on my upgrade.
I also received a $70 credit on my account for renewing my contract.

20 bucks over 24 months is $480 bucks, plus $199 = 680 Don't be silly. You may not even be able to transfer your phone number.

+1 to this method. I called 877-775-4886 (Account Services I think) and I just asked them to reset my eligibility. There was no hold time, the CSR was very friendly, and the end result is 30 minutes later I was eligible for the 2 year upgrade promo. I was already over the 1 year upgrade eligibility, but I have seen others post that they will reset your upgrade even before the first year, so it's worth a shot. Just call them and politely ask them to reset your upgrade eligibility so you can get the Evo 3D for $199. Also mention that you want to sign a new 2 year contract extension (you are going to have to do it anyways if you buy with an upgrade promo).

Well, I failed... She said if I was at least a year into my contract... I could have maybe gotten something, but because I'm not a year into my contract until August that there wasn't much she could do... Very, very nice though...
Oh well...
We have 2 EVOs since August and wanted to upgrade to 1 EVO 3D...
She spoke to supervisor as well, and at the end even offered to let me speak to the supervisor but I just gave up...
BTW: I am Premier Silver due to the association of Sprint with my work...
I just got my upgrade reset..........I was 9 days away from a year upgrade 75.00.
Sprint gave me the full upgrade. 199.00 evo3d here i come
Congrats... I'm sure if I was 9 days, I would have had a chance, but 2 months was a no-go at least according to the rep I talked to and her supervisor...
