Sprint will buy back any old phone for free…even if you are not a Sprint customer. No contract needed. I purchased this contract and am now quite disappointed because I DOUBT they will refund me my money after having found this, however, Best Buy is the devil, so steer clear!

Why not just go do it at Target, they don’t charge anything for the service. There are many Target locations that take phones, iPhones, iPods and video games and give you a gift card on the spot.

Considering I’m already in a contract, Could someone please explain how I would get out of the contract i would need to sign to get the subsidized phone(incredible). This whole plan seems good but it seems we would be locking ourself into a second contract. If I try to cancel the plan within 30 days, they will want the phone back, and I won’t have it because I will have already sold it to the them.

Minus the 60 you paid, so its basically saying their giving you $60 bucks toward the purchase of a new phone? Sounds better than verizons new every two $30 credit I was getting. 120-60 (that you paid for the program..leaves you with +60 ???

Complete scam you could easily sell it on your own for more money. I work for best buy and I would never recomend it or sell it

The only reason Droid Life put this up is to advertise for best buy… if you are smart and can see it clearly this is a scam. And why would best buy want to save me money when they are all about making money

Brah, I’m not an impatient imbecile who would even bother to upgrade 3 – 4 months prior to a new killer phone launch. This program is for idiots and people who “need” the latest and greatest. Best Buy is making money and you’re losing it. And like Viper76269 said below, they get to sell your phone again to someone else.

A fool and his money are easily parted.

it’s because they will be able to potentially, sell the product twice

Seriously bro, how are you not seeing that you can wait for your Thunderbolt, get subsidized pricing, and choose to get buyback on that.. in case you want to upgrade early, or in case you want to get $120 for it when you get your next phone. For real man, you love looking gift horses in the mouth.

Okay, forget the incredible for one second, big guy. Wait for your upgrade to get subsidized pricing on the Thunderbolt.. its still a 600 dollar phone. if you GET buy back on THAT phone for $60.. you can trade in your Thunderbolt ANYTIME within 6 months to get $300 back. OR, WAIT your full 20 months and still get $120 for it. Forget even about upgrading now if you want the TB, but it still makes good financial sense now that New Every Two doesnt even exist anymore. We’re not saying upgrade to the Incredible now if you dont want to, we are saying, no matter how you look at it, Buy Back (even if you wait for the TB) is a smart purchase. Full picture bro, see it.

Bro, L2Read. If you were going to wait on contract renewal, this doesnt concern you. If you are under contract, you pay $600-$650 for this phone. This allows you to upgrade early without paying more than half a grand. Also, and hey, this is especially for you seeing as you have a hard time grasping things, if you’re planning on waiting until your contract renewal for your next upgrade. If your device is worth $600 full retail, when you upgrade 20 months later they’ll give you $120 for your old phone.

Math, try it. Its not terrible.

The $1 phone (which is actually now $0) is a subsidized price with a new contract or 2-year extension. They’re not just giving Incredibles away
