I just went about the order process like normal. The site said my 8+ was eligible for an upgrade so I went ahead and did it.
Got a tip for us?

You have to be on the Sprint flex or iPhone forever plan for 12 months in order to switch from the 8 to the X. So if you weren’t on that program before you got the 8 you won’t be able to upgrade.
Just picked it up. Good luck everyone!!
I was! I'm on iPhone forever. I bit the bullet and bought it from Apple.com It will come activated on my number then ill just give my GF my 8+.
I have been with Sprint for nearly 18 years and can't complain too much about because I live in/near a metro area. That said, is T Mobile really that much better than Sprint? I literally have zero experience with another service to compare it to.
Also, good luck to everyone who is expecting the X today!
It' here yay! Tried to upload pic - file too large... have to go to a meeting now when I just want to play with it!!
Well not sure why your getting the sh*t end of the stick smh, posted pics and all showing I could upgrade at 12 months, and I got the deal without paying it off..... but like I stated before, on iPhone forever? (From years ago) and higher payments by like 5$? Who knows, I tried.
Nowhere on the deal details does it say you need to be on iPhone Forever lease program to qualify.
They are bringing all the “forever” (iPhone/Galaxy) lease programs, as well as the 2 year options under one unifying title called FlexPay. Which is an 18 month program with option to upgrade after one year.
Admittedly, all the documentation I’ve seen this cycle does not all jive with same verbiage, but with recent conversations I’ve had with executive team and the fact there are only the FkexPay options avaialble to lease the X kind of bears this info out.
Just got home. Gonna eat breakfast first and then play with it.
They are literally not budging. I'm not so sure how you got so lucky but they are saying we have to OWN the phone to get the $350 off. I have called twice same response.
Has to be the 64GB version as well. The 256GB version is not applicable for discount.
Mine was delivered about an hour ago! Too bad I’m at work but I might run home at lunch to grab it.
Folks most have thier phones this thread is Quiet now lol
Nope, comes up as avaialble for the deal on the main sprint landing page link to upgrade and order the X
Mine as well
Our driver usually gets here later in the afternoon....
Got my storage minimized to comfortably downgrade to 64GB, gives me time to keep working on the mrs out of control app/file/photo management
Yea see I don't/didn't see that promo when I preordered. Tell me your secrets!!! LOL
Just wondering if anyone who has been trying the last few days (outside the posters on here who gave us the heads up on the deal) have been recently successful in getting sprint to confirm the $350 deal works for phones that are not owned by current customers of sprint. I still have had no luck and everywhere I look and everyone I talk to says the device must be paid off. I am thinking maybe this was a loophole that sprint caught onto and no longer will accommodate for people who are trying to do so now.
Same here and it’s only 9am. I’ve got 8 hours to wait, could be worse and I’m sure I won’t be alone in here.
