How much did you pay for your Sprint Zio?

http://www.mywirelessrevolution.com/wireless/lightyear-wireless-prepaid-cell-phones/kyocera-zioI'm just curious how much you all paid for your Zio's?

I have a cell phone business and am selling them no-contract for $199.99 (here: http://www.mywirelessrevolution.com/wireless/lightyear-wireless-prepaid-cell-phones/kyocera-zio), but I'm not sure how competitive my company's pricing is?

I can't actually change the pricing of the phones I sell, but I'm curious what other deals are out there!

I got mine free from Sprint for signing a new smartphone contract

Cricket is selling them for $129 to $159, depending on region. I paid $129 for mine, used it for 4 months and sold it on eBay with buy-it-now for $120.. it sold in a matter of hours so the demand for them is still out there and I suppose mine was a bargain price.

Most of the Cricket versions (running 2.2) are selling under $150 in after-market retailers, but I've seen most of the Sprint versions (running 2.1) are anywhere from $99 to $259, depending on where you are located. The local Sprint store has them for sale, without upgrade or new contract for $259 (plus activation fee to activate your number on it), which I feel is a major rip-off.

Since the phone is now over a year old (original release date for Sprint was March 2010), I would feel $120-150 would be the reasonable range for "new", and $50 less for anything refurbished.

Thanks for the info.

Do you mind if I ask what you paid on Cricket's network? Just curious..
