if you are signing a new contract, amazon is by far the cheapest. they give you $180 out of the $200 dealer rebate in an Amazon rebate...

Sprint retailer will give $100-$150 off when you sign a 2 year, and the salesperson gets $200 from Sprint.

Amazon - gives you back $180 out of that $200 from Sprint, on top of the Sprint customer rebate.


if you already have a contract, eBay

No the store may get $200 but the salesperson only gets $20. I used to sell sprint phones and if they gave me $200 for every phone I sold I would have never quit

If you are an independent sales rep you get the whole $200.

I used to sell phones too.

its tough to get a new phone for cheap without renewing a contract. I have sprint too and I've been trying to do it for a while.

haven't found any really good deals. you gotta pay for it. eBay might save you a few bucks but I think pretty much its all the same.

doesn't mikeymobiles sell phones? maybe he can get you a deal.

Why would you not sign a contract for at least one year? You can only use that phone on Sprint anyway. Otherwise ebay.

the best I could get sprint to do was $100 off a phone if I resigned for 2 years to a pcs vision contract that cost twice what I was paying.

and that was after about half an hour on the phone with customer retention or whatever they call it.

of course you can always switch your plan back to something cheap 5 minutes after you get your $$ if you want.
