HTC EVO on Sprint Employee Account ? - Page 5

Iceman1199 · #41 (**permalink**) 06-04-2010, 08:56 AM

Just tried to get the phone through BB with my employee plan and Sprint wouldn't do it without me changing my plan. Oh well....I tried....Guess I'll have to wait til July or earlier. And when you think about it, I've waited this long for the phone, I can wait a little bit longer. Its def not worth it in the long run to pay way more for it to the phone today.

Okay folks, I just read all 5 pages of this thread. Still confused. Here's my question. I previously had 4 separate sero F&F 500 plans for $30/mo which totaled $120 a month. Now because of this phone, (The evo), I changed that plan to the newer SERO family plan which is no longer called SERO. It's now called the Everything Plus Family 1600. Will they let me get this phone at best buy???? It would suck if they didn't because I specifically dropped SERO for this phone.

Activated mine with no issues... I didnt even have to call I just did it from the advantage site and I was up and going in about 2 minutes.

Good to hear. One question, did you buy the phone at full price since it is still not available for the advantage club yet to buy?

**brownhornet** · #45 (**permalink**) 06-04-2010, 09:35 AM

Yep... $449 from best buy

Ok, thanks. Sounds good. At least we know it can be activated with no problem without having to wait until July for that. Now, let me find a way to get it soon, but not at full price though...LOL.

M,

Thank you for contacting the employee phone programs group. Yes, if you
would like purchase the EVO at the employee discounted pricing you will
need to wait until the device is available for employees. However, if
you are willing to pay full retail price you may purchase this device at
any retail location. The store will not be able to activate the device
you, but we can do that here if you would like. I apologize for any
confusion this question may have caused. If you have any other questions
or concerns please let us know.

Sincerely,
Steven T.
Sprint

---------------------------------

Trust, I checked pretty much every avenue before I pre-ordered mine. If you talked to a regular rep they have no clue.. I actually spoke with two reps in the advantage club and this is what they told me first hand. No, you wont be able to use an upgrade but you CAN buy it outright. They wont be able to activate it in the store but calling the advantage club they can do it for you.

Please let me know if you succeed in getting it activated by the means you posted above, and do include a number to call please.
I ask because I am on a 3rd party employee plan.
Free and Clear 3000 minutes, unlimited text and data - $20/month.
I have skipped all the best phones because as you can rightly see, no one would want to give this up even for a phone made with the blood of unicorns.

I don't mind buying the phone right out , just activating it would be a big big headache, I have been turned down several times before when I tried any android device. Am guessing I was going through the wrong channels.

Yes I did. But is my plan considered an Advantage plan? If so, please what is the advantage plan link and /or phone number to call. You have made me a happy man. Thanks a Million
