Re: How much will the Pre cost me?

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.

Re: How much will the Pre cost me?

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.

Re: How much will the Pre cost me?

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.

Re: How much will the Pre cost me?

heh i was told over the phone thru the 800 number i would get the pre for $199 if i renewed to a new 2 yr contract, but if i kept my original contact date which expires on 6/17/2010 that i would only get $75 discount, when i went to get the pre the guy at the store had me sign the page which said no deposit, no charges today page and i signed and dated it, but when he left he brought back my page and had stapled on my receipt w hen i got back home i saw that it didnt look right so i lifted the receipts and there it said that i had signed a new 2 yrs contact but i had only gotten a $75 discount when i had been told if i signed a new contact i would get the phone for $199, so i called sprint on the 800 and talked to a supervisior and he said there was nothing he could do that i had my account original account expiring on 6/17/2010 that i could take the phone and wait until then but that as a premier member the dicount for 1 yr was only $75 off , thats ridiculous and he said anytime you get an upgrade to a new phone you automatically have to sign a new 2 yrs contract i am pissed that i was scammed you know that the guy at the store understood i was planning on keeping my original contract as i wanted it to expire that way i could get the new HTC touch pro 2 when it came out and i had sat there talking about what i was doing and that the 800 number knew my plans, but he still put me on a new 2 yr plan i am so pissed off.

You can return the phone within 30 days and go back to your original contract end date. 1 year discuont is only $75 off 22 month discount is the same discount as a new customer. To qualify for either of these you have to sign a new 2 year agreement. Anyone else telling you differently is misinformed.
