Where to upgrade phone and keep your plan?

[nstarz]

Are there any places to upgrade your phone with the $150 off besides the sprint.com, telesales and the sprint store?

Best Buy is the best place to buy a phone or upgrade since they offer instant rebates.

Radioshack offers instant rebates too, and don't require a plan change.

Thanks, sprint4eva and Tomen. I'll go keep an eye on their deals then.

Radioshack associates have about $70 or so they can price match phones with too.

So you could try to casually mention how Sprint offered you the new customer pricing on a phone and if they could give you new pricing too. Typically they will give it to you. Of course, it's YMMV.

I check Radio Shack and they have a the Rant for free special but with a new plan. I'll go try to ask about the $70 off next time I'm near a Radio Shack.

Radio Shack has nothing to do with the $70 service credit for renewing your contract. You need to get the credit 1st THEN upgrade. If you upgrade 1st it may reset your date then they might not be willing to give the credit.

Agreed -- I've used Best Buy for my last several upgrades with no issues.

I called TeleSales - Phones & Accessories and Customer Service for Phone & Online orders @ 888-253-1315 . I found the number at http://forums.mobiledia.com/topic13143.html

Sprint Rant $99 + Tax = $130.44
- $50 Mail in Rebate

Shipping and Activation waived.
30 Day Guarantee.

Credit $70 x 4 = $280

They told me to check my online bill and it shows...

Total Due
-$280.00

I gotten the names and Employee Numbers of two people a Telesales and a Customer Care person to be cautious. The very nice lady confirmed that it wouldn't effect my upgrade on the other 3 phones and she wanted me to call me back to upgrade the other 3 phones.


I initialiy decided to call because RadioShack has the Samsung Rant for Free with renewal. They would charge for Tax and Activation. http://radioshack.shoplocal.com/radioshack/default.aspx?action=entryflash&adref=rs.com
