A:AnswerHi, This really depends on the promotion that is running.
there are 2 types of promotions that can exist:
1- a promotion from Sprint , most of the time its only for new customers and or adding a new line to an existing plan
2- a promotion from Best Buy ; you will have to read the details or ask at best buy to know if this is for new or for existing
We have sprint service and phones and the offer from best buy was too good to pass; they had 200 dollars discount on the new iphone 8 and 8+ and they also did a trade in for our existing phones. so we got the offer and upgraded 6 phones on our plan and reduced our monthly payment by almost a 100 dollars and we will own our new phones after 2 years of payments!
I hope this helps you out.
A:AnswerNo, you cannot use the $200 e gift card for the phone itself. The e gift card will come in an email to you 24-48 hours after you activate the phone. Hope this helps!
A:AnswerIf you are required to pay a downpayment on the phone, the amount would depend on your carrier's requirement and it's tied to your credit history with your carrier.
A:AnswerI have been told previously that you need to have paid for 12 months minimum to get an upgrade. However if there are payments still pending then you have a choice after the 12th payment to trade in your phone meaning hand over the old phone and then get the newer version and the payments start afresh for the new phone at which point you will not be paying for the older phone anymore. Honestly I find it unnecessary unless you are like one of those guys who just wants a new phone every release at what point its just perfect. On the other hand if you want a phone and would replace or upgrade it at a period of 2 years or more I would say buying at during the black friday deals at a good discount would be the best. End of it its your choice and the kind of buyer you are.
