The 22 month discount gets you the same pricing as a new line. $150 is the general amount off per regular phone, Smart phones are usually $250 to $350 off.

I emailed them about the price on purchase speciffically to my 1 year upgrade. This is what I was told and I quote. " The regular price for Pre is $549.99. However, after the instant saving of $250.00 and mail in rebate of $100.00 this phone will cost you for $199.99. Therefore, on the purchase of Pre, you will get an instant discount of $250.00 and then you need to fill the mail in rebate. Sincerely, Sam S. Sprint" So I am assuming it will cost 299 on hand before you do the mail in rebate.

One of the lines I upgraded to the pre was eligible for the 22 month upgrade. That line paid $299 in store for the pre with a mail in rebate of $100. So he got the same price as the second line I opened.

thanks people. i need to call and get the same thing. i have 4 lines with them and have been with them for almost 10 years. i hope they can do something.

edit: ok. i called and get what u all said. only if i can find the phone now.

lol so I just talked to customer service. Was told I should physically print out the emails I received to help me actually get the price I was told on the email. What a pain.

Sprint stores have been giving 22 month renewal customers the same price as new customers on phones for a while now. Actually the 22 month customer saves $25 because they wont' try to charge you an activation fee. They charged me $25 on the line that I opened up brand new. At that point I didn't care because I had a pre on launch day and didn't want to argue.

Yeah... you don't want to argue it at the point they are holding your hard to find device... but you can always call later and they will remove superfluous fees usually.

Oh yeah anything the store messes up I get fixed later with customer care. The store messed up my EPRP plan and gave me a regular everything family plan. I called later and got that put back to my EPRP family plan.
