    Sprint Black Friday Sales Nov.29th 2013

    in General Topics

    Posted · Edited by Ordell

    Any chance there will be deals on the regular S4?  I'm still hanging on with my $30 SERO plan and am about ready to take the plunge, but it sure seems like Sprint isn't very friendly to SERO anymore... :(

     

    There's a very good chance.  Remember, these aren't, "Black Friday" deals per se - they were announced in a press release a week in advance and extend well past Friday.  These are the usual, "Why wait until Black Friday when you can save NOW" junk deals may retailers are running ("Black Friday Presale", "Mid-Black November Clearance", etc.).  The Black Friday deals will appear on the Sprint website on Black Friday. 

     

    Last year Radio Shack had the Galaxy S 3 for $49.99 w/2-yr contract which is the same deal Sprint had.  Expect similar deals this year across the board to clear out the phones that aren't Spark capable.  If Sprint follows Radio Shack's lead, keeps their $50 price tiers and prices phones to maintain their relative positions (ie.  an S4 will have to sell for more than an S3 but less than a Note 2) BF on Sprint.com should look something like this: 

     

    Galaxy S 3 $0 w/2-yr contract (Sprint's current deal for new customers)

    Galaxy S 4 $49 w/2-yr contract (Radio Shack's BF deal)

    Galaxy Note 2 $99 w/2-yr contract (Radio Shack's BF deal)

    Galaxy Note 3 $149 w/2-yr contract

    HTC One $99 w/2-yr contract (Sprint's current deal for new customers)

    Moto X $0 w/2-yr contract (Sprint's current deal for new customers)

     

    All carriers tolerate their legacy plan customers with various levels of disdain.  Be thankful we haven't reached Verizon's, "You can keep unlimited data until you upgrade your phone" level.  Sprint has recently (last week or so) fixed their web store so that SERO customers can order phones without having change their plans so that's something.

    Officially, the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini is FREE 11/28 thru 12/1.  Sadly, Sprint has moved their Black Friday sale online this year (with in-store pickup) so there haven't been any leaks yet.  I strongly suspect they'll use this opportunity to blow out their not Spark, not iPhone, high-end phone inventory (S4, HTC One, Note 3) kind of like what they did with their Wi-Max phones in 2011.
