Do your stores offer the same prices for phones for new service and upgrades?

Mine does, we are a agent store about 5 blocks from a corporate store. We price match them exactly.

New Act Prices are usually lower at Sam's Club and Walmart. Sam's has the cu500 for $29.87 on a new act.

Same here, and I have gotten into the habit of just telling them the upgrade price, and if they are activating, great... I tell them "I'll save you $20 today"

. Oh and my store doesn't put the prices out on the phone.

We tell them that new customers pay a 36 act fee and existing oay 18 so they pay a little more up front but a little less on their bill. Usually works.

The people that come into my store always seem to moan about the whole $18 "upgrade charge" which I think is complete BS. Depending on how much they buy from me, I might throw in a case or CLA or give them a discount just to make them happy. But most of the time I tell them that CS waives that charge depending on how long you hve been a customer which is true BTW.
