Sprint to end 2 Year Contracts


JimBob

Recommended Posts

Im about ready to upgrade, and for the 5th time it looks like Amazon is still offering the best contract prices. Generally $50-$100 less than straight from Sprint.

 

I'm not having any luck finding any new phones on Amazon for Sprint 2 year contracts.  (S6, G4, iPhone 6S all missing..).  Where are you going to see the deals?

I clicked on the link but it doesn't really take you anywhere. At least it didn't with me.

My apologies, I'm using a desktop right now.

 

Basically Best Buy offering a minimum of $200 trade-in value for any turned in smartphone towards the purchase of Sprint iPhone 6s/6s Plus on contract.

Ah okay, that explains it.

 

The same promo was done with the Note5 & Galaxy S6 Plus

 

I jumped on it and grabbed the Note 5. $249 + tax - $200 trade in BB gift card and paid $70 or so out of pocket. 2 year contract but the promo is offered on ALL finance programs on Sprint. Subsidy, Easy Pay & Lease.

Hm, they seem to have moved things around since I last checked.

 

But theyre still there, sort of

I wish I could upgrade through Best Buy.

Amazon and BB has always worked for me with promos on subsidy. Sprint as of late no bueno on subsidy sales but Lease & Easy Pay are good. For example leasing a G4 is $0 down and no taxes upfront and $18 monthly then loyalty credit of $15 monthly i can lease the G4 for only $3 a month.

 

Best Sprint can do for Legacy Customers.

SERO :( which means SERO chance that it will work at Best Buy since they can't access those accounts.

I knew you were going to say that.

 

I know someone on the same plan and it only allows upgrades through the carrier.

 

I understand the discounts and pricing are better vs a regular plan.

I am not complaining though.  I would definitely trade a cheaper plan than a discount on a phone in the long run unless they are on an ED plan with a corporate discount of 25% on 5 lines which at at that point is cheaper per line than SERO.

That is my exact plan. 25% discount and all. Total with taxes is just under $45 per line.

That's great!

 

Btw how does one go by in getting a corporate discount 25%

Usually through your employer. I think the % discount depends on the volume of employees using Sprint on the discount.

I see. Currently my employer gives a discount of 15% and the Federal Credit Union I use gives a 10% but the offset on that is the activation fee or upgrade fee is waived with the Federal Credit Union.

 

I was simply curious on who gives the 25% discount. That's really good!

State Farm Insurance agents get 25%. Still have activation fees though.

If only that will trickle down to the state farm insurance customers.

 

That would be great because I'm covered by State Farm.

Yup my bro told me he pays about $45/mo for his line in a 5 line plan.  Its funny how some folks harp down on SERO customers when in fact they are not the lowest ARPU customers.

Yeah, I had a SERO for awhile but when they were done tacking on data and premium device fees it wasn't the $30 plan it started out as.

I know but even a few years ago before this whole "Simple Choice" plan stuff, when people had to pay $70-100 for minutes, data and text messages a la carte separately, you couldn't find anything for $50 postpaid.  So yeah it sucked it bumped from $30 to $50 but I still think its worth it and be able to get the high end smartphones.

 

Imagine if you were still stuck on the HTC Touch Pro 2 on faux Android still just to stay at $30.  UGH....nothing would get me to go back to those crappy phones.

My wife works for a hospital system that currently gives a 25% discount (up from 23% a year or two ago) so our lines are under her name.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
