Lower price points on service plans would help
Sun, 20 Jul 2008 12:27:31 GMT
Looking back - http://www.mobilewhack.com/sprint-launches-the-simply-everything-plan-for-us9999/ Ok $ 60 for SEP unlimited is too low but $99 is to high even though it may offer more features than the other providers\' unlimited plans . Because of Sprints less than equal RF infrastructure and CS problems (Both improving), Sprint should lower the price points on their serice plans . A $10-20 or difference in \"sticker price\" on monthly plans (vs AT&T,VZ) would bring in large # of customers . If were paying less , I would be more likely to put up with these \"growing pains \" .

Let\'s not forget...SPRint is dieing on the telcom vine...you can\'t count on SPRint long-term...SPRint\'s main objective now is to find an unsuspecting buyer for the company so they can unload this sorry piece-of-crap on someone else.
Re: S withdraws from LTE
Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:38:54 GMT
WiMax is and will always be the loser technology of choice because of incompetent management...I plan to promote LTE in every future business deal and to everyone I come in contact with...I will always underscore the failings of Sprint and the importance of choosing Verizon or AT&T for all business applications.

Ridiculous problem with Sprint, involves porting number out and back in
Sun, 20 Jul 2008 23:10:33 GMT
My dad has been with Nextel for a number of years, and has two lines, a work and personal line. When he first moved to Seattle, he established his own personal number, then had it linked to his government (work) account. Apparently in the process, his personal number was placed as a secondary line, where his work number became the primary line. Anyways, all has been fine for nearly six years, until I convinced him to just switch to Sprint (he wanted a reason to separate his government and personal lines anyway). It was a difficult process, because the government basically claimed his personal number belonged to them, thus he wouldn\'t be able to separate it, which wasn\'t true. After many calls to account services, his line was finally released, and he ordered an Instinct for himself, being told that everything would be sorted out by the time it arrived. The phone came in, and I called in to try and activate it. And of course, there were problems. First, we were told it was still on a government account, and they couldn\'t touch it. After more calls to account services over the course of another week, that was finally taken care of. I was told that as of this past Friday, everything would be good to go (where have I heard that before?). Tried again, and now what they\'re telling me is that since his personal number was on a secondary line, it can\'t be made a primary line, and thus, they would never be able to activate the Instinct on his personal number. They said there were only three solutions: 1) Start all over with a brand new account and new number (not an option, due to the nature of my dad\'s work, it\'s important for him to have a stable number); 2)Send the phone back, or 3) port his number out to another carrier, cancel his service with the new carrier within 30 days, and then port the number back into Sprint. ...you\'ve got to be kidding me. :frustrate I\'ve talked to at least 10 different representatives and supervisors with both Sprint and Nextel over the past two days, all of which have basically said the same thing. It upsets me because they basically lied to my dad saying he\'d be able to keep his number and activate the Instinct with that number. So that whole long-winded story brings about this question: What\'s going to be the easiest way for me to port his number out to another carrier, cancel service with new carrier, and port it back in? What carriers have the 30 day \'grace\' period? I\'m mainly trying to avoid having to pay any fees by doing this, I\'ve wasted enough hours on the phone with Sprint, and paying more money out of pocket to get this dumb problem resolved is simply not something I want to do.
how long is it too late to resart a cancelled account?
Sun, 20 Jul 2008 19:28:28 GMT
im trying to advise a friend, she canceled her OOC nextel account about jun 7, and then two days ago went to a kiosk and bought a upstage (yuk), they put her on a new plan and I have no way of knowing if the rate is better or worse, (slight language barrier) anyway I told her my opinions a) the upstage sucks, b)if you really want one you should have paid less than $100, like $100 less.. and that they have several phones on sprint.com for $50 after rebate... anyway she asked my opinion on this after buying the phone so she already doesn\'t like it either. I don\'t think her abandoned plan was anything great either since it was nextel with DC, no text (she sez) and no data. but she wouldn\'t mind gettin her # back. she is going to go back to the kiosk to tell them to stuff the $100 upstage and I told her if she can stomach the rate plan and if she likes the instinct she could ask them to price match best buy or just cancel the deal and she can go over there. opinions? if you are a sprint retailer in the Plant city or Brandon, FL area and would like to make a sale you could PM me and I could send her your way. oh, BTW, my opinion is she should get a $100 pink centro on the $70 EP.:tu:
Sprint\'s new billing idea
Sun, 20 Jul 2008 17:20:32 GMT
When you first subscribe, they won\'t show you the first bill until your upcoming bill date. You won\'t have a chance to catch billing screw up during your 30 day trial period. Is this a ploy to make sure to lock you into 2 year contract before you can find out about any billing error? :frustrate
Ongoing PictureMail error.
Sun, 20 Jul 2008 10:58:50 GMT
Hello all. I\'ve had Sprint for several years. I\'m on my 3rd Treo (700p). I\'ve had Power Vision w/ Picture Mail for some time now. I\'ve read several threads on this forum regarding my problem but I still can\'t find a solution. I have no problems sending picture mail. BUT, when people send pix to me, I get an SMS w/ a link. When I go to that link it shows a website w/ the message the sender wrote me and the "red X" in place of the pic. HOWEVER, when I log into sprint.com and access my PictureMail online, I can see the pic they sent me no problem. How come I cannot see pix on my phone? I know I\'m not going to see it in the SMS/MMS window and that I HAVE to go to the link in the SMS but there is ALWAYS a red X instead of a pic. This has ALWAYS been like that for me - ever since I got Power Vision / PictureMail, but b/c I\'m just now starting to get pix more and more, it\'s becoming quite annoying haveing to go to a PC everytime to view the pic that someone is sending to me. It\'s been like this always - BEFORE AND AFTER soft AND hard resets, I\'ve "registered/activated" my Pic.Mail when I signed up for it... Online, at sprint.com = no problem viewing... Thank you, Adam
Upgrading phone - have 30 days to return?
Sun, 20 Jul 2008 10:20:45 GMT
If one signs a new 2-year contract by upgrading their phone - then decides they don\'t like the new phone - do they have 30 days to switch it for another phone free of charge? Or, could they just return the phone/cancel the contract extension, and wait for a different phone to come out?
New Number Already In Use?
Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:28:16 GMT
Has any one ever had they\'re number change and Sprint gave you a number thats already in use by some one? What a head ache. :icon_smil I had my number changed tonight was told to wait 4 hours before I could use it. I wait those 4 hours and get ready to use it I can\'t dial out I call the number from my other phone and some one by the name of Rebbecca picks up. Call Sprint back and they\'re like your confused it\'s probably a network error. :haha:

Question about Transfer Liability (phone)
Sat, 19 Jul 2008 23:46:51 GMT
I am in talks with someone that is wanting to transfer 2 sprint accounts to my name from theirs. They just signed up with Sprint on the 10th with Sero. Now if we got transfered and everything went smoothly would I be able to honor the 30 day exchange for another phone since I dont like the ones he has or would I be stuck with the ones he gives me? Thanks
Best Buy deals: Will I have to change my plan?
Sat, 19 Jul 2008 23:23:42 GMT
So my GF is wanting to get the Centro. Neither of us are marked as "available for rebate" because of a HUGE screw up to our account in October, all of which was a CS rep\'s fault. I called to add her to my account (she had her own, we just wanted to switch liability or whatever it is called), but the guy ended up giving both her and I new numbers, which took forever to correct. When I recently called to inquire about my GF\'s rebate status, they told me we were both not eligible until Oct 2008 (for 1 year), Oct 2010 (for 2 year). Obviously this means we lost our rebates (I\'ve had my phone 2 years now) when they effed up our account. So the rep added a code to our "notes" that we were both eligible for the full rebate, but he said it would only be good for 30 days. So we go into Best Buy today, and the rep tells us that they now acknowledge Sprint\'s rebates. With a 2 year (full) rebate, the centro would be $119. This is more than $100 off of Sprint\'s rebate price (399 - 150 = 249). So this made her really want to get the phone from Best Buy. Now my question: We both have SERO $30/mo plans. I know with Sprint to get the rebate you need to have at least $34.99 (or 39.99?). Will we have to change her plan if we get the phone through Best Buy? The rep told us no, but I don\'t want to do it and then find out otherwise. Also, since our rebate status is really a code on our account, will the Best Buy rep be able to acknowledge our rebate? Anyone with a SERO plan ever get a phone through Best Buy using your Sprint rebate? Thanks to anyone who has some input.
*4 \"push\" utility or plugin
Sat, 19 Jul 2008 18:49:28 GMT
I\'ve looked high and low looking for some utility/bot/gadget/widget/plugin/RSS feed that can collect your current usage totals and push it to an email or a text message. The closest I found was Sprint Minutes Ticker extension for Firefox. It automatically logs into your sprint account and parses some info and displays it in the browser. http://sprint-minutes-ticker.blogspot.com/ Does anyone know of others that does something similar? It would be super to have something that you could set thresholds to monitor, then have a message pushed to you if usage exceeds those parameters.
Why did Sprint send me to AT&T?
Sat, 19 Jul 2008 17:40:16 GMT
I\'m exactly the kind of customer Sprint wants. I\'m a heavy user. I pay my bill before it\'s due every month. I have three lines -- mine, and then my two parents, who have a family plan. I wanted to get a Sprint data card. Sprint rejected me and told me I had "the maximum number of lines" on the account and that I couldn\'t get another line until January of next year. So they sent me off to AT&T, who was more than willing to sell me a data card and a two year plan. Dumb, dumb move, Sprint. I love my Instinct and I love your network, but now that I\'m across two networks, AT&T will have an incentive to offer me special deals to grow my business. And they don\'t impose ridiculous limitations on "number of lines" like you do. You effectively sent me to one of your competitors -- for no reason at all!
Direct Connect for one line only on a shared plan?
Sat, 19 Jul 2008 15:35:42 GMT
I need to replace my aging A900 on my shared plan and have been looking at the Samsung Z400. We really enjoy the calling plan we have now, 1400 minute plan for the 2 lines and don\'t want to change it. Questions that I have. If I buy this phone do I have to use the direct connect or can I have the service disabled and use the phone only? If I decide to keep the DC portion active, can I add it to the plan we have for this line only or will I be required to change the whole calling plan to accomodate this? If I can use it for one line only, how much extra is it a month? Will this require a contract extension?

My Sprint Dilemma
Sat, 19 Jul 2008 03:05:49 GMT
I recently took a new job that gives me unlimited use of a company cell phone. Their wireless carrier is Verizon. I have been a very happy Sprint Customer since 1995 and currently have a 2-line family plan for $70/month; no extras just 550 shared minutes. My wife uses about 400 of those minutes with another 300 free minutes just talking to me. My latest contract is up at the end of the month and I have to make a decision. Do I get my wife, dare I say, a Verizon plan to have the "in network" plus a 10% employee discount, or is there a way I can get a high or unlimited minute low cost single plan by dealing with eCare? Has anyone had any success with the later? If yes with what kind of results did you get?

No I don't think it needs sprint because, Resistance's pace and speed of it's gameplay is already pretty fast and sprint would ruin it. So it's fine the way it is.
