Cheapest way for me to get a Nexus?

I really want the Nexus S 4G when it comes out. I don't have any upgrades available.
The full retail price I expect to be $550 through Sprint. My thought is that my best option would be to cancel my current line, pay the ETF ($160 for me right now) and then immediately get a new line and get the Nexus for $200. This would be a total cost of $360.
I guess my other option would be to add a new line to my account, get the Nexus for $200, then cancel my previous line and pay the ETF.
Any other ideas? I just want to get the Nexus for as cheap as possible.

I'll be selling my Evo either way.
My question is what is the cheapest way. Obviously paying full price isn't the cheapest way.

Price is $399.99

EVO 4g at Best Buy $599.99
EVO 4g at Sprint $449.99
Best Buy prices do not mean Sprints price
See image 2 posts above for $199.99 with 2 year upgrade / $399.99 full retail price.
Cheapest way is to sell EVO 4g for $200 by nexus for $399 plus tax.
So around $230 out of pocket.

Did you look at the fine print? Instant meaning new line or eligible for 2 year upgrade. OP wants cheapest way while paying full price which is $399

Guys guys guys......
199 is 550 minus 150 upgrade credit minus 200 instant rebate.
I guess I just want to know if my plan makes sense and will be allowed.
EDIT: You DONT get the instant rebate if you are not signing a two year contract. Does anyone know if you do NOT have an upgrade, can you sign a new two year contract and get the instant rebate?

The nexus will be $549.99 outright and $199.99 w/2yr agreement. Either way you go it can become rather expensive and I think the best way would to be add a line to your account and cancel the other. You will pay $200 for the nexus but you should be able to get about $250 or $300 outta your Evo as long as it's still in good condition. But that all depends apon the ETF!

This is correct.
The $399 refers to new two-year price or price with upgrade.

You can generally get a phone through Wirefly for the contract price without resigning or upgrading. Sell the current phone then put a few bucks more with it and you're all set.

Sprint technically won't let you ETF and sign a new contract and get the 2 year instant discount. Usually they require a 30-day period in order to be considered a "new" customer. Your best bet is to add a new line and then cancel the other line and pay ETF. You'll pay $199.99 for the new phone, $160.00 for ETF, and then sell your EVO for $250-300. Overall, shouldn't cost more than $60-70 to switch phones unless I'm missing something. You WILL be extending your time in shackles with Sprint for another 2 years though.
Myself, I plan on dropping Sprint all together (3 lines on a Family share plan) this summer and going with a local GSM provider. I'll be saving $60 a month and still get unlimited calling, txting, data. Saving $60 a month means I can subsidize myself and buy my own unlocked phones.

Thunderbolt envy

I went to the Verizon store today thinking that I would trade up on my HTC Incredible only to find out that Verizon got rid of the upgrade anytime ability. They said I could get a Thunderbolt, but it would cost me $600.
Oh how nice it would be to have a Thunderbolt. Anyone have any ideas to fight this with Verizon?

Seeing as promotions are not contractual, there's not really anything you can do. All I can suggest is seeing as the T-bolt is SIM based, see if you can get someone to do an insurance claim on theirs saying they lost it and buy it off of them. They might try to blank out the IMEI but the SIM should counteract that.

He would have to activate the "lost" phone to even get a SIM card, which wouldn't happen because the IMEI would already be flagged. Since this is Verizon's only 4G device, how would he go about getting a SIM card? The SIM cards are useless once they've been activated on an account and then replaced with a new one, so using the other person's old one isn't an option.

Actually if he found someone to do the lost phone deal. he could then go buy the cheapest sim-based phone outright,have it set to his account then take the sim card and put it in the t.
But the cheapest one i think is about 200.00 plus any changes it does to the contract (if any) and the at least 90.00 cost for the t's replacement. would end up costing over half the cost of the t and that's only if he gets lucky on the cost of the t

How do you then get a 4G SIM? Verizon's only other SIM based devices are all 3G "world phones" that I'm pretty sure only use the SIM cards when not in the US. Verizon's not gonna say "oh, sure, you want a 4G SIM for your Blackberry.. no problem". Unless, of course, he just never wanted to utilize LTE. I don't know enough about Verizon to be certain, but was an AT&T Mobility Resolution Specialist for a while.. and what you're suggesting would definitely not work with AT&T(given the same conditions of them only having 1 device using the new network). However, how much is an outright USB 4G Modem? NVM, that would not include voice plans, and they'd know something was up when he tried to add one to a modem LOL.. seriously, I dunno if this is possible. Even if it was, would possibly just be easier to save for a bit and just buy the phone.

You are confusing gsm and lte. They arebnot the same. DON'T DO IT! won't get you anywhere + it's insurance fraud.
Could maybe add a line to your acct. Essentially paying $240 over the course of your contract plus $250 for the phone... It's a little cheaper.

You can normally talk people down a bit on CL too. So if you sell your phone for almost $200.. you're really only paying $300 for the phone which isn't bad at all with no contract!

I am not an attorney ... but this seems like quite a fraud. You have to ask (and convince) a 'friend' to lie that they lost their phone. Then you have to lie during the activation process. Seems like a heck of a conspiracy for a few hundred dollars. I would NEVER ask a friend to participate in this type of scam.
On the other hand ... I 'lost' my Thunderbolt.

Who else is about to see Verizon end the world?

So I can't be the only one here, who has been in contract with Verizon since day 1 of the Thunderbolt hitting the streets. Since Verizon has removed unlimited data, and moved with alltell customers to loose their plans, I am wondering if come March those of us who will be the first people out of contract with Verizon with LTE will be getting letters telling us they have decided to move us to their wonderful tierd data plans!
I am only saying this because I really want to buy a Note II but I don't want to drop 500-600 dollars on a used one and find out that my service is getting changed, and have to leave Verizon for another carrier with unlimited data anyway.
So, any one worried about march?

Who says they are going to bunp those with unlimited data to a tiered plan when their contract is up?

I didn't say anyone said they would, I am just looking at how verizon does things.
Also, no one on unlimited data with 4G has had their contract expire yet, so no one can say they won't.
They are making the alltell plans go away, so why not the unlimited data ones as the contracts expire?

Sounds exactly like some **** they'd do too.
my tapatalk signature sucks more than yours

my parents just got divorced and myself and my brother have unlimited data plans. We had to alter our plan because of this. one sibling is on my fathers new plan, one is on my mothers new plan. we both retained unlimited data through this situation.

If they gonna force tiered data they are going to start in june 2014 just after everyone who preorder the GS3 to retain unlimited is off contract
iSheep... iSheep... Meowww that's Apple VZW GSIII

Just an fyi... I know many people here try to keep their unlimited data and hold off as long as possible to get their upgrade so they dont lose it. I had a thunderbolt that worked when it pleased for almost 3 months before i finally gave in.
When i went to get my s3 a fee weeks ago i found a pretty cool rep. I was with my sister as she shares an account with me and my mother. Showed the rep my beat up tb and he asked y i took so long to get my upgrade which i have been due for for nearly 7 months. Explained to him i had no intention of giving up my unlimited data because i constantly use 4+gb a month. But my phone completely died so i juat had to do it.
He pulled up the account and saw that my mother already ady had the tiered data on her line. At this point he told me that if i wanted to keep my unlimited data i could apply the upgrade to her line... So activate the s3 with her number, at which point the phone is mine...then he would deactivate it and read activate it with my number and reactivate my mothers line... So now we have 2 s3 will unlimited data and and ipone with 2gb cap on my account.
If you have multiple lines... One of which is either suspended or has tierd data this is an option you can use. If the rep you get your phone from isnt as friendly, apply your upgrade to the other line instead of yours... Call customer service when you get home and have them do it. Reps might be kind of iffy about doing this i was told its supposed to be unmentionable.
i pwn noobz

One of my lines contract's has run out, without any word from Verizon on cutting it's unlimited plan.

This has been the case for a long time. Many many people have used this well after unlimited data was over. Its kinda been unspoken to only refer to it in passing as an alternate upgrade or stealing an upgrade. The more people that use thus loophole the more likely Verizon will patch it.

How? Were you on a 1 year plan? There is no way that went month to month on a 2 year LTE contract.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Yes, it was a two year plan. It started out as unlimited 3g, and went to unlimited 4g about half way through.

I think everyone should be aware that unlimited data will be ending for ALL carriers sometime in the future, probably not this year or next year but certainly within 5 - 10 years.
The number of smart phone users is growing, bandwidth is not growing and the handwriting is on the wall, like it or not. No carrier has the ability to provide unlimited bandwidth to unlimited subscribers.
Fortunately for me, my 2GB plan is more than adequate, almost all my data use is over WiFi and I seldom hit even 1GB. One thing I've done to limit my data use is to install wireless 'N' routers at my house, my sister's house in California and my girlfriend's house here in Phoenix, those $20 swapmeet/Craig's List/Ebay second hand routers plus free WiFi at most places where I hang out almost eliminate my 3G/4G data use.

I bought a droid x a little after it came out and signed a new 2 year contract..I eventually got a used gs3 from craigslist so I activated it and my contract has been up for months and I still have unlimited..

I think the problem will come up if you try to get a new phone at the 2 year contract price. They will likely try and force you to a tiered data plan when signing the 'new' 2 year agreement. You would likely be able to get around it by paying outright for a new phone (no new contract to sign), but that's if you want to pay the $500-600 to do so.

I understand why Unlimited Data is on its last legs for all carriers, I just wish the tiers were more reasonable. I don't consider myself someone who abuses the network, but I am away from WiFi often and use about 6-12 gigs a month. I'd have to pay an insane premium to have that capability again. It really feels like a huge step backwards and contradicts the cloud movement but I get it. I just don't like it. We need a breakthrough dammit!
I'll be sure to enjoy my next 1.5 years of unlimited service.

Depending on your data usage, it can be far cheaper to buy the phone outright instead of paying for a bigger data package over the 2 year contract. Of course you can always choose to change your data usage behavior and get the 2GB route which will be cheaper. I bet they're banking on people to do that.
But here's to hoping they lit the minority unlimited users remain as long as they're willing to buy phones full price!

I think that this is totally wrong. The teared pricing will go away as pressure mounts and people can move to local Wmax systems. I have unlimited and have had it since WM4 when it was "3g what is that". Many cities are gong Wmax (where I live Grand Rapids many areas are complete) this will totally eliminate need for Cell data. 4G consumes less electrical power, has greater bandwidth for the end user with less tax on there system than 3G. They are simply making money when they can. It is like all technology the General public is finally getting connected so prices are rising once saturation and competition meet prices will fall or stabilize.
I don't have cable internet at home anymore. 4g is faster and way cheaper, I am still at $24 per month unlimited. I simply turn the hot spot on and feed my home network. Granted Verizon hates me using 60+ gig a month so what.

I might have just been lucky. I walked into a Verizon store a couple of weeks after the GS3 came out to upgrade. I got the 2 year contract price and got to keep my unlimited data plan. He didn't even ask if I wanted to change it. I was so happy, I bought a couple of accessories that I could have got online cheaper. As far as I am aware they still get a commission bonus for that.
I have heard some horror stories of existing customers being forces out of their unlimited plans. Cell phones are one of the few things these days that are usually best bought in corporate stores.

well yeah we get commission on accessories sold, and salesmen make more on accessories than phones, which is why we push that whole, "buy 3 accessories!" thing

I was lucky too. I upgraded to my S3 back in August through Verizon and was able to keep my unlimited for some reason.
I prefer 4g, but if I was somehow forced to a tiered plan I could manage. I use 4G at home since it's faster than my WiFi, but I would just switch to WiFi at home.

Verizon Users: get 2GB for 1 Year // FREE share plans ONLY // UPDATED! Oct-20-15

I am updating this as the go90 I think no longer gives you bonus data!
I just went on chat and spoke with awesome rep she gave me extra 2GB data for 1 year free!
At first I told her I am planning on switching carriers so she offered 50% off line access fee (that would be 20$) but it would extend contract by 1 year, one of my line ends contract in few days so that line will have 25$ off so I said no. Then I asked her what can she offer me to keep me. Then 30 sec later she had 2GB promo data for me! free for 1 year.
as of this moment I have 30GB plan for 130$+2GB data from go90 until January 2016 and then extra 2GB for 1 year starting today!

I think this is a new promo so try to grab it if you can
According to Verizon if you download & signup for go 90 their kind of buzz feed like service on your phone you should receive txt msg that they added extra 2GB promo data to your account. I just did it still waiting for a txt msg.
PS. I am seeing there might be delays with getting email confirmation to confirm your account.

Did this on my Moto X Pure. Got it right away. Checked bill and it is already there. At least there is one useful aspect of their junk software.

confirmed. It was activated immediately and I have it until 1/22. I did it from my vzw moto x2 on wifi. Thanks for the tip!

Having Verizon. Or rather paying for Verizon.

There is no catch, though there is also barely any value, as it is a ONE time, ONE gig offer...
Oh a side note I switch 3 lines from Verizon grandfathered unlimited to 5 lines of Unlimited LTE data on TMobile and save about $100 a month! So far my TMO experience has been flawless and LTE speed are significantly faster than Verizon.

I tried TMO for about a year, but I spend too much time in the mountains where TMO gets little to no coverage. I've had to switch to Verizon for the coverage (seems to be the only reason anyone switches). TMO's voice quality was head and shoulders above both AT&T and VZW for me... I just wish they had the coverage out here.

Agreed, TMO is great in urban area, but do suck in rural area.

3 unlimited lines would be more or less $240/m. So you now have 5 lines on tmobile for under $40/m?
This whole "tmobile is cheaper" narrative needs to die. In some cases tmo is cheaper, in some verizon is cheaper. But mostly it's just people repeating a marketing campaign that they bought hook line and sinker for crappy coverage.
With my work discount 12gb shareable between 2 lines is $84/m on verizon. Even without the discount it's $100/m. That's the current rate verizon charges, no some old grandfathered thing. Tmobile also charges $100/m for 2 lines with 6gb data each (no sharing). How is tmobile so much cheaper?

No, it's $100/m total, plus taxes.
$60+20+20, no phone payment needed.

Right you are on the Verizon plan so if you are not financing devices then its OK deal. If you are then you pay a lot more.

You can finance a phone on the Verizon plan it just adds the device payment... Just... Like... T.. Mobile. Unless tmobile started handing out free phones?

My bad, price difference is $110 after Verizon price hike
Each line on TMO is $44 (2 lines for $100 + 3 lines for $40/each) =total $220 (5 lines all unlimited)
VZN I had the Family Share Unlimited for $150 + 3 lines for ($10+$30)/each =total $270
After the Unlimited data price hike it will be $150 + 3 lines for ($10+$30+$20)/each =total $330 (3 lines all unlimited)

So you have some old grandfathered deal on tmobile? If I did 5 unlimited lines on tmobile it would cost me $335

For $325/m you can get 30gb and 5 lines on verizon.

So financing isn't device payment? you do finance the device with Verizon. So if you are financing aka device payment then you are paying extra 25-35max or more for device depending what device you are financing (if)
So far I have 6 lines 4 month2month (-25$) x4 // 2x 25$ device payment discounts and bill is around 272$ for all 6 lines (30GB) plan. Once the other 2 pay off their phones that will be -50 and less taxes.
I expect it to be around 200-205$ ish for 6 lines.

The financing is the same for either company. Add it if you want, just add it to BOTH calculations if you're comparing costs between two carriers.

How much taxes exactly do you have on this plan? I will be buying preloaded tmobile sim maybe today and wait for 6.0 OTA and test band12. My friend has this 100$/2 line plan I know it's +40 per line extra but how much with taxes? thanks
