Do I have to pay full retail for a new Sprint PCS phone?

I've had Sprint PCS service for about 5 years and have had the same cell phone for about 4 years. Unsurprisingly, I'd like to get a new phone. I don't want to switch carriers.

Do I have to pay full retail price for a new Sprint PCS phone (Via Amazon or a Sprint store or whatever)? Or is there some way I can get a discount on a new phone like what they give to new customers?

Have you tried asking Sprint? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Sprint will give you a new phone every 18 months, but you have to enter a new 2 year agreement

If your contract has expired just sign up for a new 2 year contract and they should give you a discount. We just got two new phones for $30 each with a 2 year plan. The retail price on the phones was around $180 each.

EBAY...you can always get brand new phones for cheaper...and you dont have to extend your contract.

So I ended up going to the Sprint Store (in the Flatiron building) and waiting for about 40 minutes. I had a few models that I wanted and they had my #1 choice (LG PM-325) in stock. I signed up for a 2-year agreement (let's be honest, I'll be with Sprint at least that long) and got the phone for about $70 after the $150 discount.

I don't, I just haven't really had any problems with Sprint and didn't see much reason to switch. I could be very, very wrong, but ignorance is bliss.

Why is it every time you go to a Sprint store it takes this long to get anything done? It's like the damn post office... [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
