Sprint EVO 4G LTE Pre-Order @ Wirefly 149.99

It also indicates you get the upgrade fee waived if ordered by Thursday. I might have to pull the trigger on this if I can find out how to do it with SERO. I still don't know if I want a screen that big (which is why I didn't like the Galaxy S3) but I can't stand this TP2 any longer!

I have SERO as well don't think you can upgrade via a 3rd party. Pretty good deal though if it works for upgrades. The link isn't working for me. I'm not gonna risk screwing up my SERO just gonna order mine direct. I don't think WireFly has tax either. Not worth $50 when you risk loosing a very hard to get plan.

Direct from Sprint?

Quote from Killerz : Direct from Sprint?

yup direct from Sprint. You are only suppose to do Sero upgrades at Sprint Corporate stores or telesales. Just a little tip, I'm chatting with Sprint right now. Rep just offered me $80 2 year renewal credit which I obviously took. Here is quote from rep "Thank you for your patience in waiting. There is a $80.00 credit we can apply to the account for your renewal." I am finishing it up right now.

If they shut you down, just try back later or try calling it in. I have done this is the past a few times it's just the luck of the draw. Certainly helps offset the new phone/upgrade fee. Just ask them if there are any offers for a bill credit if you resign your contract. Make sure to do this BEFORE placing order for the new phone. Good Luck!

A word of advice, don't mess around with WireFly on your Sero plan it's not worth it. Although I have never personally tried, your gonna have a heck of a time cleaning up the wirefly mess or getting your Sero back. Just not worth it in my opinion over $50. Plus it's fairly easy to get the loyalty credit depending if you get a good rep. I usually ask for credit the day I am plan on ordering since you have to sign a 2 year anyway to get the new phone. No the 2 year contracts don't stack either so you will be golden. Key is getting the credit before ordering. I'm surprised they gave it to me first try especially the evo goes on pre-order in less than an hour.

Thanks.... I tried to get the renewal credit last year and they told me to go screw. I guess I will give it another shot.

Typical Sprint, they have shot me down before in the past. Like I said just luck of the draw, some reps might be on higher guard today since it's pre-order day. I really should have done mine last week but just kinda forgot about it. Just make sure to get it before ordering if you want it. I think last time I did mine by phone and got shot down via chat. This time chat said ok the first time.

so you get your contract renewed via Chat with $80 credit first.. or do you just get the $80 promised via chat and then goto telesales and order..

my fear is I don't want my contract to be shown as renewed when I go order

wondering what is different between this and the original EVO? I don't have 4G speeds in my area. Worth it?

You get a $80 bill credit first, you don't have to order a new phone if you don't want. The loyalty credits DO NOT affect your upgrades what so ever. It simply extends your contract expiration date which is separate from your upgrade date. I always just like to do mine on the same say cause if your planning on ordering a phone it kicks out your contract anyway. I wanna say last time I got a $70 credit? I can't remember but the amounts can vary a little bit. Don't think I have every got an $80 but if they offer you anything $50+ just take it.

Contract being renewed has nothing to do with your upgrade credit if you are concerned about that. You get the renewal credit first, they will sign you up for another 2 years and THEN you order the phone. This is how I did it in the past without issue.

Quote from dizzsunshine : wondering what is different between this and the original EVO? I don't have 4G speeds in my area. Worth it?

It depends. The phone hardware is better as well so you need to decide if that is worth it to you. Compare the specs between the original EVO and the LTE. The LTE kicks the crap out of it.
