So my $75 upgrade (used to be 150, which is bs) just opened up. I need some clarity on how the pricing works. Is this $75 off a new 2-year contract price? Or $75 off a full retail price and I still have to sign a 2-year contract? If the last one is the case, do I even get a 2-year contract price when my current contract expires?
I believe its $75 off retail price and to sign a 2 year contract as well.
75 off retail.

You may be able to get them to make a one time exception and qualify you for a full $150 upgrade if you are the main/primary line. That's what retention is doing for me but I'm waiting for the gs2.

Wow. That sucks then, I have to sign another contract to pay $500? No thanks... Might as well wait until my contract expires to get a new contract price...or will they even do that?

Yes if your contract expires you can get the new contract price.

Your contract and your upgrade eligibility don't necessarily match. You can be out of contract and still not be eligible for an upgrade. However, there will probably be more flexibility if you're out of contract as Sprint would want to find a way to keep you as a customer.
The $75 upgrade isn't much of a deal, in my opinion. If you use it, you're signing a new 2 year contract, and you're pushing your $150+rebate upgrade out another year.
If you're not Premier Gold and you want to upgrade more often than every two years, I think it makes more sense to pay full price for the phone (or find a deal from ebay/craig) every other year.
Sprint is not flexible at all on upgrades right now. Don't waste your time it will only make you mad.

Sprint is very flexible actually .. Just call 877 775 4886 that's the retention direct line and tell them how your upgrade was suppose to be full and now its not since they changed the premier things... I got mine moved up 10 months if the first person you talk to doesn't help out ask to speak to their supervisor or call back QUOTE=DirtyShroomz;16441394]Sprint is not flexible at all on upgrades right now.

I called and tried the to get the full $150 and they basically blew me off..Something about my phone is not THE main line. The contract is in my name and I added my mother and daughter but for some reason apparently my mosm phone is the main line..How the hell does this happen?
A supervisor told me that there isn't anything that can be done and some other stupid crap and if I wanted to upgrade now it would have to be on my mothers line..Well I don't want to start a 2yr contract over on her line cause she will be going to prepaid next year when the contract is up.
So my only choice is to cancel my contract and pay $100 then sell my EVO and move to another carrier..
Screw Sprint..
I was able to get a supervisor to approve an upgrade overide. My $150 was supposed to be 8/01/11 before they changed they downgraded me to silver. I haven't used the upgrade yet because I haven't decided on a phone but I did get it approved. The thing that sucks is that it can only be with Sprint directly. Can't use your supervisor approved upgrade at another store such as Best Buy or Walmart where the prices are better.

Do you know how much money is lost on every subsidized phone? Early upgrades kill profit and sometimes programs are stopped. What good is a provider if it's not making any profit and can't buy new phones or expand its network?

There's no way. She's basically saying that the 1 year price is less than the 2 year price. I think we all know that's not true.

Might want to double check that... my understanding of their new plans is they got rid of New Every 2 back in January, and in April-ish got rid of 1 year contracts. It's either 2 year subsidized price, or full retail.

I bought the phone the day after it came out but the total out the door was just short of $400. Then I would have gotten the $50 rebate.
I have a tmobile my touch 4g slide and it is a pretty good phone. I just couldn't justify $350 net so I returned it and paid the $50 restocking fee.
I got really ticked off when a co worker told me he got his from Sprint for $200. Then, a couple of days later, he told me that the cost was $100.
Why does Tmobile charge so much?

Probably the chip to support hspa+ 72 made it cost more than the lte models.
I think it's just T-Mobile's pricing structure. With my now-gone New Every Two discount on Verizon, I paid $130 with a new two-year contract for my white 16GB Galaxy S3.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I believe it's a mix of T-Mobile having cheaper plans for voice/text/data and also it could be the fact that the phone uses HSPA+.
I got mine on June 21st so I can't complain. Plus I have nothing but excellent contact with T-Mobile and excellent cell/data service.

Careful though. You may get customer loyalty first and they will try to 'solve' your issue without retentions. Loyalty will give outstanding deals but retentions can go even further.
If you are not out if contract or close to it though you may not get much.

I've been with them for 6 years but when I called them last week and said I am mad that Verizon is selling it for 199 and my upgrade cost is 329. I said I want to cancel (which I wasn't) to move to Verizon and bam. Got two S3 for 179 each and also got a mail in rebate for 50 bucks per phone. Grand total for two S3 after rebate 258.
I just feel these are reasons T-Mobile isn't fairing well. Yes we all want deals but come on. This is just whining and I feel it is ripping T-Mobile off and not making them the money they deserve to make. The S3 is $330 on T-Mobile with a mail in rebate of $50. Making it $280. Yes the other carriers have it for $199, but with their plan prices compared to T-Mobile, you are paying less with T-mobile. Saving you money over the course of your contract. I've been with T-Mobile for 7 years and have not once felt the need to call retention and lie to them about wanting to cancel and switch carriers just to save a few bucks.

Retention is there to do this. Every carrier has retention that does this. If it was that detrimental to them they wouldn't do it. The whole reason they do it is to keep you with their service so obviously it's not doing much harm.
Also some people are dishonest. That's how the world is. It's great you've never had to do this, I haven't either but some people aren't honest and some people need to save as much as they can. It happens.

T-Mobile customer service has been crap lately.
Look at the issue that I was having with them (warning: long read)
http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/29215
To continue from that thread:
I had to sent in all three of my 32GB phones and went to the store and got myself 16GB Galaxy S3s which royally pissed me off because I wanted 32GB.
I'm still waiting for the credits to be posted on my account for the 32GB phones I sent back in.
Jessica on T-Mobile forum has been really helpful with my situation and immediately posted some credits on my account to lower the cost of the 16GB S3s that I had to pay out of pocket again.
I am glad that I posted on that forum because Jessica has been the one constant person that's been helping me through all these issues. She knows the situation from A-Z and I didn't have to explain it over and over again to different CSR's.
However, the fact that T-Mobile kept messing up and not registering the phones being returned to them are problematic and I, as a customer, had to pay for that. I wanted the 32GB phones but now I'm stuck with 16GB. In the future, I don't think I'll renew my contract with them and just go month to month. Or, if I do renew my contract, it will be the value plan and I'll just buy my phones from here or ebay or something. Too much hassle having to deal with T-Mobile.
10 months yo. I have a link I saved somewhere, but Google 'tips from an former t-mobile employee' should give you the link to some great info! I personally just saved close to $400 by calling into complain, with legit complaints, but hey I'm rocking a nice new phone. Plus I was able to get early upgrades on all our lines of service.
Edit: Everybody is entitled to a rebate if one is being offered!

I just added a second line to my account last Wed, and i got the S3. Friday i see the deal online and am pretty pissed that i just paid $348 for the phone and not 2 days later its $99. I call them and get tossed around all weekend and no help on being compensated for the difference. The only thing they said i could do was to send it back wait for the return process to go through, then buy a third line for that price. Complete Bull**** that they cant just credit me the difference(not including the rebate). The return process itself would take a week i was told, so i would be without a phone for 1-2 weeks. I am just shocked at their process for this. I love the S3 that i have, but come on.

The main monitoring occurs on the network not the device level. Essentially they are monitoring the user agent of the outgoing traffic.
One easy way to circumvent their tethering blockage is to use a 3rd party tethering app and change your user agent on your internet browser to android or iPad/iPhone. Both Chrome and Firefox have extensions that easily let you change your user agent.
Confirmed working for me on the unlimited 4G plan using Chrome and WiFi tether.

It's worth noting for those who don't know that Bestbuy sells an upgrade to t-mobile customers for $179.99

Friday? Doesn't T-mobile run the same sales nationwide? I went in Friday and got the 16GB for $149 and got a $149 mail in rebate. Have to pay $40 tax(they tac the full price of the phone) but that's still just $40 for it.
I am pretty sure its only an online deal only... cause when I found out I couldnt get the 99 deal on mytmobile.com i called them and that's when I got the loyalty deal

Saw this phone on best buy for 150 and I'm eligible for a 2 year agreement just wanted to know if any of you guys have bought through best buy before?
If so Does your plan changed in any way whether it would be data?
Reason why I ask is because T-Mobile is always making it impossible for their customers. I see it as a smart investment worse comes to worse down the line I can always opt out and pay that 200 penalty to get out, I would still have my s3.

I hate Best Buy but couldn't resist their low prices so last year I bought 3 phones online. It work out good for me. Not only I end up paying for the phone much less than any other place, but also somehow I didn't have to buy a data plan with those purchases. I have a family plan and that did not change also.
Last week I tried to add fifth line to my plan and I had to add minimum $20 data to new phone so I'm not sure how it is now...

Long time - since there were Voicestream - probably 10 years.
I bought this phone from bestbuy in october since I was eligible for an upgrade and bestbuy had it for way cheaper than tmobile ever did. Only part of my plan that was suppose to change was my data plan but it never did actually change. I still have the same plan I had before purchasing the phone. No complaints
Thanks guys. Yeah its way cheaper than what Tmobile has it right now about 340 with the upgrade. You guys did it through the phone or in person. One rep I was speaking with told me that I can't get the phone in store because T-Mobile doesn't allow it? Is this true or just BS. I was going to get the blaze through T-Mobile but it was going to come out around 184 basically around same price I'm getting the s3 for through best buy.. Not a big Fan of the 4'7 screen but oh well.

Also any idea how much these guys will try to sell me their warranty for? Or do I get at least a 1 year warranty.

I actually did mine online and I had no problems. Bestbuy also gives you the option to add a warranty I think but I'm not to sure since I didn't get one
the issue to consider is that BB will sell you the 2 year plan, which continues the "subsidy" (we all know it's baked into the monthly price, RIGHT?) even after you pay of the phone. Consider a tmobile store - and a value plan, where there is more of an up front cost (possibly), but the value plan is a purchase of the phone as a transparent process, and when it's paid for (20 months?) you keep the phone, and the monthly price drops.
If you can do a "small buisiness" plan - go for that! $40 per month to 1000min and unlimited (5GB at 4G speed). $50 for unlimited/unlimited. Add $20 for phone, and stll cheapest way to go...
Merry Christmas

Yeah I notice customer reps actually are not bots too.. I spoke to a few they seem to be well acknowledge and actually have a soul lol.

Plus you get a free 1 year warranty for the stuff that's suppose to come for free, Like a defective unit .buying with T-Mobile you have to pay a monthly fee for that same coverage
