Sprint has just announced a “BuyBack” program that allows iPhone owners to trade-in their old devices and get the new iPhone 4S.

According to Sprint, customers can earn up to $275 by trading in their old iPhone and upgrading to iPhone 4S.

However, the program is also available for other old phones and aircards regardless of carrier or manufacturer, which can be traded in for instant credit toward the purchase of a new phone or an account credit toward an existing Sprint account.

Furthermore, the minimum buyback credit that a customer can obtain is $50, while the maximum is $275 depending on the carrier and model.

However, Sprint guarantees $50 for the oldest iPhone models, while newer iPhones can be traded in for up to $275.

Don't be fooled. I am a Sprint customer. After talking with two very different customer service reps who assured me I could participate in the "Buyback" program. Then when I was transferred to a supervisor, in total I spent two hours on the phone, just to be told by Alex (rude, unprofessional and short tempered) to tell me the program no longer exists. When I asked to speak to his supervisor, I was told he wouldn't transfer me. Then Alex told me if I wanted to speak with a supervisor to complain about him, I would have to hang up and call back customer service. Still no upgrade. I tried a second time, going into an authorized Sprint Store. The Store said "Buyback” can only be done over the phone. I called customer service, and was told, "Buyback" can only be done at participating stores. Still no upgrade. DON'T be fooled.

11/3/2012 Sprint Rep suggested Buy Back program so I could upgrade to Samsug Note 2, he even mailed the shipping envelope so I could send in my old phone ( EVO LTE). Super service much better than what Verizon and T-Mobile have done to me before. I had no clue that this program existed.
