Re: So it is basically... No.
I sell phones part time and we can not remove the upgrade fee. People ask all the time.
Rarely the carrier waives the upgrade fee, but that is not often. |

It was always waived for me by Sprint. Of course, I always dealt directly with Sprint and not a 3rd party phone seller.

| Sprint activation is permanently waived where I work for new customers. You don't even have to ask.
Upgrade fees are generally waived one weekend out of every month.
ATT, as far as I know has never done this. |

| I worked at Radioshack for a little while and AT&T had a few "sale events" where they waived the fee. Was usually around holidays. |

DataRiker is correct.
I used to work for Sprint and many of their third party retailers like Radio Shack, Best Buy, and other resellers would almost always offer promotions that waived activation fees (for new customers) or upgrade fees (for those upgrading). That can be quite an incentive especially for a multi-line customer (if you were activating 4 new lines of service, that promotion would save you $144 which is a huge savings over a corporate store NOT offering that promotion). |
