I see so many people still saying they are unable to get the evo's they want so I am posting this thread to try to help. I work for a sprint store and I have plenty of EVO's on hand. If you need one or more I am able to ship them to you usually within 2 days. If you'd like more information let me know.
Will xda get a share of the commissions?
Give the guy a break, he's trying to help out people on here. Let him make his commissions...xda is doing just find I'm sure.
Seems kinda fishy... 1st post... and what Sprint store employee is going to post on a forum soliciting buyers for a phone that's proven very difficult to keep in stock?
Not saying it isn't true, just saying... beware.

Yep, he's doing members here a favor by giving them the heads up. That's helpful enough to the XDA community.

Thank you. I've already found Evo's for me and one brother, but my other brother is trying to find one and I would love a BB, or Sprint employee to tell me they just got some in locally so I can tell him to run over there.
The real help would be to post the store location and phone number so members could call and speak to him legitimately or go there if local.
Here ya go if you need to see that this isnt something fishy. Here is my number 928-458-5286 store number is 928-771-0662 also if you go to ppc geeks and look in the threads my store has already helped people pick up the phone. Of course they have to be able to upgrade or something unless they would like to pick it up for retail price and being able to bill to your acct is the prefered method. We pay shipping also so you dont have to pay shipping prices.

Will you sell the phone for $200 shipped? I don't want to deal with the MIR. You could credit our sprint account $100 and send in the MIR as a batch from the store.

I was told I couldn't buy from sprint without using my upgrade, can you sell me one at retail and get it activated without me using my upgrade?

Any store that told you thought is simply holding the phone for an upgrade or new activation since they make a commission on it. It's not a Sprint policy.

For sure?!? What a scam!
Let me know if I can do this
Unfortunatly we are unable in the store to waive the MIR so we would have to charge it. Sorry , and to your bright eyed question we can always sell a phone upgrade no upgrade no matter what just remember though the retail price of an evo with no discounts is $450 before tax. Just to warn you.

I'm fully aware of the $450. I am not eligible for my full upgrade for quite some time and I am trading web design work to a friend, in exchange part of his payment will be an Evo out of contract and then I will still get my upgrade later. This will work right?
Is there any other way of payment since he is going to purchase it for me?
any luck with him?
I'd be very interested in setting up a new Sprint account and acquiring the Evo from you for the usual $199 with 2-yr contract. Do you ship to Hawaii? And is there the usual 30-day trial period, in which I could return it to a local store if need be?
How's about telling us when the Samsung Epic4G will drop?

Odds are your problem is caused by you downloading those apps, since that's the number one way people get trojans on their phones.
Look, you paid at least $250 for your phone, and at least $70/month for service. I think you can afford a $0.99 app.

It was stated a few posts up that the person doesn't have a credit card. I agree that it would be nice for Google to enable buying apps by having them charged to your phone bill. Not everyone has access to a credit/debit card.
Just a note: you can use visa gift cards on the market with Google Checkout - I have. You have to register the card with the website so the name & address will be registered to the card, just like a debit card. The website is in the info that comes with the card. If you really wanted to buy an app, you could.
Every paid app should have a license check, in my opinion.
Open a free checking account and get a debit card? Pay for your apps please, it keeps android moving forward. I used to do the same thing as the OP, until I felt convicted by God not to so I deleted everything I had acquired and bought it all.
my dad paid for the phone and the bill
its not that i cant afford the 99 cent app
he just wont let me buy it with his credit card

As others mentioned, go to walmart and buy a prepaid credit card. Load it with like $25, and attach it to your google account. You can use it to buy apps. Alot of apps are going to be installable as they start using googles market verification to make sure you purchased it.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
no, apps won't void your warranty, there is no way for sprint to check quickly and they wouldn't take the time to either, if the apps are to blame then sprint well say it was an app after they reset your phone to stock. then start over installing them and do it slowly so you can catch the one that gave you problems.
if your just worried that they are checking over the wireless and not in store then have no fear, they don't check for that

Yes, again, that doesnt matter. Get a prepaid credit card from walmart, or grow some balls and get your own bank account. STOP stealing apps for free, the dev's work very hard on these apps, and deserve to get paid for their work. Your excuse is just that, an excuse, because you are too lazy to tell your dad to screw off and get your own credit card, or pay for your OWN bill for pete's sake...

Harsh but true
+1
I surprised no one has stated the obvious lol. 99% of these apps have a free or 'light' counterpart; most of which usually are fully functional with ads.
Most kids(dkdude36 excluded for obvious reasons lol) don't NEED and ad free app, you saw free and went for it. Is what it is.
I will +1000 on the Google market needed to up their accessibility with pre-paid cards. I gave my 10yr old my Vibrant when I moved over to sprint and I wouldn't give her my account either. She's pretty smart but she would still buy random stuff not realizing it adds up. She is pretty happy about all her free apps though.
If you're under 18, kinda hard to open a bank account. But immensely simple to get a prepaid Visa or American Express gift card, next time you're at the mall or walmart (and if you're under 18, this will certainly be sooner rather than later ), just get one of those and exercise your freedom from your parents
It's been two years and until yesterday, I was still able to use my Australian credit card to purchase apps in their USD price by setting a US billing address in Google Wallet. But today it failed. This means, I will no longer able to purchase US market-only apps in the future.... sad.
Last year it were all good, I can even buy music in this way (through VPN + Market Enabler). Since this year, I found Google has gradually blocked fake address non-US credit card from buying in US Play Store. And all market enabler apps have been removed from Play Store now.
I'm just wondering, at this stage, is there still any way to purchase in US store, in US dollar, if you don't have a US credit card? Many thanks!
btw, my Galaxy Nexus is rooted, and I still have a copy of market enabler app. Any comments will be appreciated.

update:
in Google Wallet, the error message saying like this. Is that possible this issue caused by other reason?
Google has cancelled your order. You won't be charged.
Reason: Took too long to deliver
Comments from Google: "auto cancelation"

I don't think there's a way. A legal way, at least.
Have you tried using on of those prepaid (online) creditcards?
If you want to buy a tablet from the store, get a US address via a service such as bundlebox.com and have it delivered there before shipping to your country.
I have the same issue, I already have access to the US Play Store using DroidVPN but when I tried to get the free stuff it gives me an error... I tried using the Paypal test cards and did not work for the free stuff.. have you been able to work this out?
Thanks!
Google Wallet support now that our notes have NFC

Well Google Wallet is a US only app, you can only add funds if you have a US registered credit/debit card and US registered home address.
Google have stopped the pre-paid cards (and along with it the free $10).
So basically if your outside the US this app is now pretty much useless to us all.

I ordered 2 of the gunmetal grey, as I opened up a new account through the comcast web site which their deal for new verizon account activation's is you get a $150.00 visa prepaid card which you do not need to have comcast service, nor do you have to buy comcast service, you only have to purchase new verizon service through them.
The offer lists you will receive the $150.00 visa prepaid card with in 6 weeks of activating your new verizon account.
They also have a $50.00 offer if you upgrade your verizon account to a new phone.
This is a great deal and with this my new m9 will only cost me $50.00 after receiving my $150.00 visa prepaid card.
The offer is good through a date in June so everyone has plenty of time if the m9's get on back order.
Just thought maybe this deal might help out a few people like it is helping me.
Here is a link for it.

I hit the buy it now on their site and it takes you to the verizon site to purchase its like the old verizon site but it works even lets you pick the first 3 digits of your new number along with your area code they just pick the last 4 digits, this is nice and the regular verizon site never lets you pick your new number they just give you whatever they want unless you call in or go to a corporate store but those ways the phones usually cost you more than on line and you wont get the $150 rebate visa card by calling in to verizon or going to a verizon store.
You can call the number to order on that site for the special or order by hitting buy now. I think the number only comes up on the site if your viewing it on a phone I think on a pc it does not show the phone number just the buy now part I do believe.
I look forward to getting my $150 prepaid visa rebate card.
what dos this have to do with the HTC M 9???
this fourm sould be moved or closed has it has nothing to do with the HTC M 9
Snow I really do not know why you are making such a big deal like do you not have anything better to do than complain about someone posting something that helps others save on getting a new m9 ? I mean like there are a lot of people that that $150 prepaid card would help.
And if we go by your philosophy your account lists your on a moto g so if your on a moto g why are you complaining about a post on the m9 forum when you dont even have one, on that basis maybe your post should be deleted or moved ????
Some of us are here and like to help others then I guess there are some here just to complain and try to put down others ????

Actually a moderator moved the post to here as I had it in questions and answers section.
I do believe it was Tony Stark, so contrary to your opinion apparently he thought it belonged here.
If you think your opinion is more important than a moderators on what DOES and does NOT belong in this forum then I suggest you take it up with him...

I got the same 2 day fed ex shipping that everyone else got so I received my gunmetal grey m9 on 4-10-15 It sat in Newark NJ for almost a whole day think verizon asked fed ex to not deliver them until the 10th if you got standard 2 day shipping.
I would not put that past verizon they would do that in a heartbeat...

This did not help forum If you have other topics please let me
I got a nice surprise in the mail lol. I had opened my new verizon service through the comcast web site because they had a offer for a $150 prepaid visa rebate card well I thought the $150 rebate prepaid visa card was only good for one line, any way I had opened 2 lines of service, one for myself and one for my girlfriend and they sent me a prepaid visa card for $300 I was only expecting $150 lol that was a welcomed sight lol.
So apparently the offer is not limit one rebate, lol.
Also offer listed you would receive the card with in 6 weeks of activating your device, and I activated mine on 4-10-15 so just over 3 weeks and its here so they are pretty quick getting them out and not waiting until the last minute to send them out.
So its a good deal by far and you can also trade in an old phone with the verizon device recyle program which I did also on both lines so I have a $200 credit coming from verizon sending in an evo 3d and a rezound both I have had laying around in a drawer just wasting away lol.
