Have a TP2? Test Drive an EVO

Tech Addiction · #1 (**permalink**) 03-31-2010, 01:14 PM

According to Engadget, Sprint is waiving all fees in connection with a new phone purchase for 30 days if you are not satisfied. Seems to be a long term policy starting tomorrow. Seems like a great way to test drive an EVO if you are with another carrier and curious about how Android or the EVO will perform compared to Winmo.

Great post.....THIS is why I love Sprint and will never leave them. I keep telling people that Sprint is THE BEST!!! And with the new lineup of phones on the way I think sprint will take back a huge market share.

Actually..this has always been the case (it is required by law that they do)..just seems like they are promoting it to get people to try the EVO when it comes out.

this is more encompassing. before, you were subject to a 33 percent restocking fee on the full price of the phone + taxes wernt reimbersable. this seems to be no strings attached.

IF they or any carrier wants new customers, I'd like to see them say they will PAY for your ETF should you have to pay one to come to them.

Of course, they might be limits like if you do this to bounce from carrier to carrier within a 6-month period, they could potentially flag you as being a flight risk and bar you altogether.

Verizon has been doing this for quite some time, as well as US Cellular.
30 days to decide if you wanna stay.
No charges if you don't.

Well according to the Engadget slide, Verizon and AT&T could charge you a restocking fee and they charge you for any plan minutes you use. Sprint seems to wave all charges as in no out of pocket fee if you turn it in within 30 days.

Great. This will make it even harder to get the EVO now. Everyone will use it for 29 days and return it. Guess it won't be hard getting a refurb.

I switched to ATT for a short time a while back, and they charged a pro-rated price for the minutes used. Reading this make it seem like there would be Zero charges at all!

"Full monthly service plan charges"
"Taxes and Fees associated waved"

Maybe I should cancel my service and start a new line every 29 days!

Talk about "Free and Clear" LOL
