Lol congrats

It was the same in Columbia

They did not have it on display but you could see it in the glass case.

You can definitely tell they are not use to and properly trained to activate phones. The guy had a hard time entering the ESN Number. He actually took the plastic off my phone screen and cut it on to read the ESN that still didn't work.

I was terrified of losing my $59.99 Everything Plus Phone Plan as he said it wasn't listed so he entered it in the system manually and just did whatever to bypass everything else and Sprint actually activated it for him.

I later called back Sprint because I still didn't have service. The did a walk through with me and had me refresh my profile and I also later got an email informing of my plan change that never actually changed smh

After all that frustration, reading the other threads where people still haven't got their Pre Ordered EVO's yet = it was well worth the headache

Call Sprint and have them on the phone and just hand it to them.

Walmart's System has an issue with your account number and not accepting the ESN.

Walmart's system is weird. They asked for my Drivers License#

I use to live out in Damascus so I know all too well about Walmart out there.

It is a absolute nightmare lol

Oh yeh my other gripe about buying the phone from Walmart is their 14 Day Policy.

I bought my OG EVO & 3D from Bestbuy - 30 day return policy
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Harfainx:
You guys are the best!

I'm currently living in Alaska, which means no Sprint service here, which also means no Sprint phones up here. I managed to call a Walmart out where I used to live in New York, and they had one single one in stock.

I'm having a friend of mine from back that way pick the phone up for me. He's going to send it to me tomorrow, so hopefully I should have my phone in-hand on Thursday or Friday!

Best of all, they are only charging $400 + tax for the phone off-contract! That is a better price than any online stores (Wirefly or Amazon). I was waiting for Amazon to send me my phone, and I would have paid $549 from them.

:D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
Interesting, in the case there was a sticker that said the price was $588 off contract. Sounds like you got a great deal.

This will probably be the first and only time I say this. But thank you Walmart. I hate your stores. I hate your service. But you were there for me when I really needed you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tkemack:
Just got mine from another walmart, $549+ tax.

I'd like to see that receipt for $400
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SuperSonicEJ8:
I got mine at walmart a little bit ago! this phone is tits

I first called in and asked if they had the new evo in stock and much to my surprise they said they did! I figured they were talking about the evo 3d but despite my doubts I decided to go take a look anyway. I walked up to the mobile center and asked if they had the evo 4g lte in stock and got a quick response of no. I then pointed to the box that from about 10 feet away looked like the evo 4g lte box. sure enough it was! The activation process went anything but smooth and lasted about 45 minutes but I could care less. I have the phone in my hands. So glad I saw this thread I never would have thought to go to walmart.

forgot to mention I paid $158.00 for the phone with upgrade
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dsEVOlve:
Just walked out with the last one they had. :D This may be the only time I have walked out of a Walmart happy.

And like others, the system gave the guy trouble upgrading. He had to call in the activation because it wouldn't accept any of the $10 add on charge options he tried.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MonnieRock:
Wooo Hooo

Hello Everyone,

I went by a Walmart today that sells Sprint phones. They were super busy. I asked if they had the new EVO LTE. Guy looked at me and said " No, we have not got them yet". He did not even want to give me the time of day they were so busy. I asked to please look in the locked cabinet and he looked back at me as if I asked him to date his daughter. :confused:

Called another Walmart later in the evening about 22:00, and spoke with the electronics department,asked if they had any of the new EVO LTE phones. Puts me on hold and comes back " Yes we do" I said " I am on the way." He advises me that no phone sales can be done while the mobile sales is closed by electronics department staff. (09:00 to 21:00) :confused:

So I went back to the first store AFTER the mobile sales had colsed (21:00) and got one of the more laid back looking guys working in electronics and asked him " Hey buddy, lets take a look in your Sprint cabinet that is locked" He said " Sure, let me get the key" And there She was :cool: just waiting on me to take her home. :D

Bought outright as I was planning to do at the Sprint store for the same price the Sprint store has them listed for, $549.00

Looking back on the whole picture, the first guy probably did not want the problematic task of trying to activate the phone that some of you have run into at Walmarts. He had no idea I was buying outright.

+1 for the night shift, laid back, hippy dude. :cool:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamerican413:
Just in case this helps: the problem some of the Wal-Marts (and BB) are having with the account is that Sprint has to change it. The phone is not compatible with Wimax (as we know) and our accounts are set to Wimax (if we have a last generation 4G phone). They have to call Sprint and stay on the line with them while Sprint updates our accounts to handle the LTE signal (which takes less than 5 mins if they get the right person). That's the problem I had with BB and I made both them and Sprint explain it to me fully, as I was pissed at the lack of communication. I am finally getting my phone tomorrow - hardly worth preordering...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arozer:
Thanks brah, I'm gonna have this done tomorrow and get my ass a new phone lol.

Spent 2 hrs at the Walmart today and got nothing because if that error.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] O.LPZ81:
I wish I had read this thread earlier. I called all the Walmart's here in Houston and found 3 stores that had 1 EVO LTE in stock. I went to one of them with the intention of upgrading and canceling my Wirefly preorder because they are taking forever to release any updated info on the phone. So I drive 15mi to the store ask if they still had it in stock and they did. I go through the whole process and I was happy because I thought I was going to walk out with a new shinny EVO. But..... We ran into that same problem about one item not being compatible error message. The guy at the register seems clueless and called Sprint and did not know what to tell them and when the representative on the line said they could activated on their end he got all uptight and started saying something along the line that the Walmart manager strictly forbade them doing upgrades or activation on with Sprint Rep on the phone because their store won't get credit or something.... Ultimately they told me they could not sell it to me and that I had to go into a Sprint Store..... I was pissed. So now I am debating on just waiting for new from WF to see when they will ship I have waited this long, and it is 50 difference. I don't know it sucks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mech8:
none this way :-(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arozer:
Ask those lazy ****s to check the locked cabinets. I did that and they had them. Lol.

Besides for the one store which doesn't sell sprint phones??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wa0qbu:
Just got mine

I called the local store Wal Mart after reading here. They had one and held it for me I was there only fifteen minutes. Smooth activation of my up grade. Small town in Southwest Missouri.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] midmofan:
What was the price? If we can get them in our market (Jefferson City, MO) before the 30 days is up my BB will price match which will get me back about $40 i estimate.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
Walmart is selling them for $158.99.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stang04:
i pre-ordered mine at bestbuy, got it last friday, glad you got your. i went to waltmart today and saw some ad of the lte...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kanyewest:
this is what they had at all three walmarts i wento... which btw had about 3 phones each in stock.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Just walked out of Wal-Mart leaving behind the only Evo LTE they had in stock (for $158) because I'm not an authorized user on my in-law's family plan.

Edit: Got added to the account, went back, got my new phone. $158 out the door! :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tkemack:
Easy fix... Send them your phone and start your own account. Crisis averted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Yeah, I lied. It is worth it. My wife and I pay under $60 combined monthly for our two smartphones. No way I could touch that with an individual plan of my own. And I got the phone tonight anyway, so I'm happy and feeling silly about being so ticked earlier. As usual, emotions make me sound silly. :rolleyes:

Actually, I will let my happy emotions talk for a minute. The lady that helped me at Wal-Mart was awesome. She was patient, called Sprint twice (once to check on my authorized status, once to get them to force my upgrade through) and she totally knew that their system was different from Sprint's and might have issues. She asked several times to confirm with Sprint that my bill would stay the same, that all the info was correct, and everything, without my even asking. I was stunned at how well she handled it.

So, don't judge a person's abilities or personality just because they work at WM. I'd take this person over anybody I've ever dealt with at Sprint or Best Buy!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tkemack:
Glad you got it! Your monthly is quite cheap, have you activated it yet? Curious if you were able to get the same monthly price because this phone requires that you pick a new plan with the lte provision.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Yep, test calls went through, texts have been going through. They ended up at Sprint having to switch my account on the phone to an individual account, then we pushed the upgrade through, then they switched it back all in the same call. My rep was very good about making sure that my bill wasn't going to change, and both of them sounded like they weren't just making stuff up as they went along. There were no "let's try this" or "hmm, maybe this. . . " things, it was all "yes, our system has been doing this and this is how we fix it and now it's fixed." :)

I guess I could find something different on the next bill, or I could log in and check it out in a couple of days, but it sounds like everybody knew the score.

Yeah, we only pay our add-on line prices ($20 for my wife, $20+$10 for me with the premium data) plus our share of taxes, so really we've got a sweet deal.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AZBoomer:
Just picked up mine from Walmart a few hours ago! :D They only had ONE in stock lol

It's amazing so far!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
One note: My phone wouldn't turn on at first, turns out the battery was completely dead (red light started blinking when we plugged it in). We just let it sit for 5 minutes while I signed the contracts, and then it started up. I started thinking, wow, I wonder if it's been sitting around for a while? Then I thought, this thing was probably sitting here all week or maybe longer, why didn't I go check before?! While I was getting set up, another employee asked if I had called earlier about the phone. I said no, he said somebody had called in to ask if they had any.

"Too bad for him, I guess," he said.

"Yeah, well, he got on the phone, I got in the car." :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AZBoomer:

Yep, woke up, got that damn email from wf, thinking, damn, omfg, its finally here and suddenly I was pissed!!! Lmao, just another bs email with my name on it... So I google a Walmart in des Moines, ia, about a mile away, called and sure enough I got my clothes on and had the key in the lock by the time the guy came back to tell me, we have ONE... I'm like hold that damn thing, I'll be right there... I wasn't gonna take no for an answer anymore, lol... No problems with the system though, the guy had it almost done about the same time I had my pre order cancelled... Makes me wonder how many more are out there? In my area... Now I just gotta figure out this crazy root process... It's a ***** without internet at my house, I have to download then try and figure it all out... Lol, thanks for reading my story and if anyone has an easier way to unlock, root, and s-off I'd love to hear it;-)

P.S. our new EVO's are badass...

And apparently all Walmarts in NYC area do not sell Sprint.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AZBoomer:
Ya, I was really surprised. They lady at the Walmart where I found mine said they just got Sprint back in the store about 2 weeks ago. I guess that's why most don't think to go there.

Thanks to reading this forum, I found my phone early! Thanks everyone :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NissanNick:
Walmart can activate the phone and up grade my contract? I did not know Walmart did cell phones? So it's like a bestbuy? Can I buy the phone out right from them and activate it my self?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Yes, they can activate and upgrade you. I just got mine last night with a two-year upgrade on an add-on line. You can probably get one off-contract for full price, I don't see why not. All their labels have the "non-upgrade" price on them as well.

Just know that activation is a potentially long process because of how their system interfaces (or doesn't) with Sprint's. Put on your patient shoes and clear your afternoon just in case. :)

NJ Walmart

As of yesterday, on a whim from reading this thread, I ran out to Walmart near where I work on my lunch time in Boonton NJ. Ironically, taped to the glass was a sign referring to the EVO about it being stuck in customs, and right around where the sign was taped, I could see that brown cardboard color box staring at me. I went around the other side of the display case and saw through the back it was the EVO! So I quickly grabbed it. Very ironic that the stock was right in back of the sign saying they didn't have any, Lol.

I cancelled both of my amazon and best buy preorders. If I were Amazon, I would be pissed at sprint for sending stock to Walmart and not to them. Oh well amazon. :D

I think the Boonton NJ Walmart is right off of rt287 for anyone that wants to try to see if they have anymore, I think they did but this was yesterday afternoon. Give it a try.....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Meanee:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bathanr:
I bought mine today from a walmart in a small local town...Roanoke, Tx... Boy was it a hassle. I was there over 3 hours because their computer was not activating and upgrading for some reason. The clerk ended up calling customer service and the fun began there. Finally another clerk came to the rescue and called the national sprint number they are supposed to call for issues and I finally left with my new phone. After using it and taking pictures and video, it was worth the hassle.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whaddupdoe:
Here in Indy, I surprisingly found 2 Walmarts that carried them. One had a stock of 1and the other had 2. I went to the Walmart with the stock of 2 and when I got there of course the computers were down. So I drove to the other one and was able to buy the only one that they got. When they went to activate the phone, it wouldn't turn on, turns out the battle was completely dead. After charging for 10 mins I was good to go. Thanks xda for the heads up and a special thanks to Wally world lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] O.LPZ81:
I called all the Walmart's in Houston on Wed. and I found about 4 stores that sold Sprint and had at least one EVO LTE in stock. I just went to the closest one and picked one up.

I also did not have a problem buying/upgrading at Walmart with a pending order through WF. I purchased at Walmart then I called and canceled with WF.

I did have a problem upgrading my line becuase of the $10 Wimax Data fee is not compatible with the $10 LTE Data fee. It kept giving the Walmart Rep an error when trying to activate. I had to call Sprint from my end and let them know what I was trying to do and they were able change the data fee to LTE and to activate it over the phone then the Walmart Rep finished it on her end. Other than that no problem
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] geniustheanimal:
So, after calling every Walmart in the area, finally found ONE in stock. Went thru the process of entering info, confirmed my eligibility, printed contract. They try to activate and run into an error. Apparently, their system won't process the LTE activation until tomorrow, even though Sprint will, and they wouldn't let me do it over the phone because they "wouldn't get credit". It was IN MY HAND, then snatched away. I was so disappointed, and the Sprint rep I called seemed so sympathetic to my plight. I'm just crushed because I was so...close...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] andrusk:
Wow really? Man that sucks. My wife and I got both of our phones at wal-mart, and both times they had to call and have sprint do it over the phone. If they don't get credit for it they should eat the cost due to their broken process, you shouldn't be punished because of their mistakes. Radio shack did this to me when I pre-ordered the Evo 4G. She messed up the activation and didn't want to give me the phone because they weren't going to get credit for the upgrade, i told them i would never shop there again if they didn't give me the phone, so after 20 minutes of back and forth with the manager they gave me the phone. I still haven't shopped there since though lol

[HTC Sensation] ARPotter:
I have started using a BlueANT T1 that I was using with my Nexus One with my HTC Sensation 4g (Evil T-Mobile) since I finally retired my N1. The issue I am having is if I put the Sensation in my phone holder on my belt, the person on the other line can hear me, but I can't hear them. So I figured I would do a small test and I can get 8ft away from the phone if I put it down before I start dropping signal. My Wifi seems fine, and the connections on my phone under the back cover are connecting. I am just wondering if there is a way to increase the range of the bluetooth. I am using the "recommended radio" for the rom "[ROM] Android Revolution HD 6.6.5" but would flashing another radio give me a better range on the bluetooth? I tried posting in the forum, but haven't gotten a response yet.

Thanks in advance!
