Best Buy has 50% off all cell phones with the purchase of two accessories. Just I bought two 3d Holograms for 10 bucks. There is a $70 rebate from Sprint for new activation

EVEN HOTTER: Get someone to refer you and save an extra $10 Bucks while saving your friend $20. It's Sprints referral program.

Sanyo 5150 with the color Screen is 299.99 - 50% + $10(Accessories) - $70 Mail in Rebate - $10 Referral = $80 + Tax...SUPER HOT
Samsung A460 = $199.99 - 50% + $10 - $70 Rebate- $10 Referral = $30 + Tax
LG 4NE1HK = 149.99 - %50 +$10 - $70- $10 Referral = $5 +tax
Samsung A400 = 99.99 - %50 + $10 - $70 - $10 Referral= -$20 Make 20 Bucks..oh yeah

Here are the plans for those of us too lazy to look it up
34.99 = 200 Anytime 3300 Nights and Weekends
39.99 = 350 Anytime 3650 NightS and Weekends
49.99 = 500 Anytime 4500 Nights and Weekends

For a limited time, Best Buy is also waving the activation fee. One Year Contract Applies though. NOTE: YMMV with the free activation. My best buy had a sales rep on staff and he got me free activation. I've been told that other people haven't had the same luck.

Note: If you signed up for sprint last week anytime, go back and have them adjust it for you. They will do it.

There are other deals for other companies but I don't know it off hand. GO CRAZY !!

Updated 6/17:
There are a few threads floating around that Sprint will offer even better deals if you call and cancel their service after you've signed up. Here's the deal:

1) Sign up for Sprint Service and activate for one year contract
2) Wait a day or so and call *2 on you phone. When Claire answers, tell her disconnect service, and you will be connected to the retention department.
3) Talk to the CSR NICELY. Tell him/her that you were thinking of cancelling your service cause you found a better one (Voicestream, Verizon) you pick.
4) They will tell you about the early cancellation fee of $150. Remind them that you are still in the 14 Day period and that doesn't apply to you.
5) Now they will do one of two things, offer you the better deals, or cancel you service. If they offer you the better deals, you're gold. If not, do this.
6) Ask them whether they have something comparable because if they do you might consider staying with them. You're looking for a good deal in the $30 - $40 dollar range.
They will offer you $29.99 600 Anytime minutes 3000 Nights and Weekends (8:00PM) Wireless Web and Voice Command. If they don't. Tell them you still want to think about it, call back and get another CSR.

Things not to do:
1) Don't tell them that you read about this deal in a forum. Pretend you don't know and let them give you the offer.
2) Don't be mean to the CSR.
3) Don't try to tell them "my friend got x deal", it won't work.
4) Don't push for too many services cause they might get suspicious.

Things to do:
1) Be nice to the CSR VERY IMPORTANT
2) Call either early in the morning of late at night when shift changes and you get fresh CSRS.
3) Don't panic if you don't get the good deals the first time. They want your business. Unless your credit sucks, they will probably let you in.

Good Luck!

after you sign up, you just dial #733 (i believe that's the right number, haven't done it in a while) from your new cell phone and then enter your friends' sprint phone number. then you get the $10 and they get the $20.

i may be wrong on the #733 but i think its right... i'm sure you can also do the referral thing by calling *2 and speaking with customer service...

I might take one of you guys up for that $10 off referral. Do you have to have a contract when you sign up for sprint pcs service? Do you get the rebate when you call for activation? Best buy pays for the activation? I really hope there's no contract involved.

Hey all, I'm struggling over if I should return my A400 for A460. Is it worth it? I would have to pay for the minutes (about $31) I've used so far in addition to to the net $30 cost of the phone. Besides, the front LCD, is the reception better on the A460? So, my net cost for A460 would actually hover around $60+.

how do you get the free activation? how do they know where you bought the phone?
I just got my sister a Sprint phone at Circuit city and got $70 rebate and $100 C. C. rebate. I got her the same plan that I have $30 - 450/2000 by telling them I wanted to add a phone to my plan but only with the same plan as my current phone. Please PM me for $10 referral bonuses.

Isn't there a $50 service credit that also applies towards new contracts? So would it be like getting the phone for $30?

YMMV on this deal. I went to the Bestbuy over at Milpitas, CA and was told you had to buy at least $40 worth of accessories! So, you have to buy some overprices accessories for the 50% off the phones. For me, I rather my the accessories on the net which cost less than $5 in most cases. A typically car charger costs 24.99 at bestbuy! Then again as with everything, it all depends on the CSR you get.

Also, the A460 is slightly longer and thicker than the A400 probably due to the external LCD display and stuff.

Tacking on the additional 40 bucks killed the deal for me. Good luck.
