HTC EVO on Sprint Employee Account ?

monsoon411 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-20-2010, 12:23 PM

I pre-ordered my EVO at the Shack today, very excited. UNTIL my friend tells me I won't be able to get it till later July because I'm on a SWAC or w/e Sprint Wireless Advantage Fair and Flexible plan.

Basically I have an account with my friend who works at sprint

Does anyone have any input on this?

Thanks in advance!

I pay $20/month for 500 mins
free Nights and Wknds
UNL DATA + TEXT

Sprint Employee customer service also confirmed this. They said if you are on an employee plan you can't get the phone till July.

LMAO, guess thats what you get for not reading around or asking your friends(the sprint employee) first... plenty of threads about this already...

now you just have a $50 gift card for The Shack... enjoy

Lies... I have an advantage account and talked to two reps and got the same response.

To:

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.
