How to buy the Diamond

Exil3d · #1 (**permalink**) 08-26-2008, 02:09 PM

Hey.. this thread will prepare some of us who are getting ready to buy this beauty. I have 14 months with Sprint and Sprint already told me I have 75 dollars towards a new handset. They also said I have 100 dollars in kind regards for being a Sprint customer but I need to get a new agreement. Which means most likely they will take away my SERO 30 dollar deal. So I will pass on the 100 dollar offer but will take the 75 dollar credit. So now how would I go about buying this. If I walk in a Sprint store and pick up the Diamond myself can the Sprint store give me the 75 dollar credit on the spot? Or is it a credit Sprint will put on my account later? How does it work? I woiuld rather get the credit on the spot but if the store is unable to do it them I guess ordering the phone thru Sprint is better since they will give me the credit on the spot right? But doing this method would make me wait 2 days for the shipment.. And I cant wait 2 days for the phone to arrive.. I would love to have it now.... :P

I have always picked up my new phones in the store and have always gotten my credit at that time.

Sorry for the typo. I will double check next. So it looks like it shouldn't be a problem if I walk in the store and request my $75 credit. It would be silly to take their $100 free credit to sign a new agreement and end up loosing my $30 month sero plan.

more than likely the credit will be applied at point of sale. if you have the discount it is because you had your existing contract for more than 12 months.

the 75 comes off the retail price. at least thats how it works in our store. if the credit is something other than the 1 year upgrade, then its probably going to go on the bill.

Did they say that you would be losing your SERO if you signed a new agreement? Could you clarify with them if your current service would remain unchanged and all you would be agreeing to is to keep the service for two more years?

If they said that you would have to change plans, then sorry I didn't catch that.

So if your an existing customer and your up for your 2 year 150 upgrade rebate, do you get the instant rebate as well as the 150 off, or do you just get the 150 off and thats it?
