Sprint Called to Warn of $200 Overage

Got a call from Sprint today informing me that my bill that'll be sent out in 4 days has 375 minutes over my limit for an overage charge of about $175.

I was NOT expecting to have gone over my minutes this month so I listened... The lady said that as a courtesy, she can add 300 extra minutes EVERY MONTH, FOR FREE as long as I'm a Sprint customer, and backdate that to take care of most of the overage. Then she said she could apply an additional 100 minutes for $5 to take care of the rest of the overage. I obviously agreed, and she said my next bill will just have an additional one-time $5 charge with no overage charges.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that is impressive. Sprint called ME before I get my bill to take care of MY irresponsibility.

Guess who just scored some major points with me?

What self respecting Sprint customer doesn't have an unlimited plan? LOL
That was nice... The same thing happened to me a long time ago when I had a flip phone and no data plan.

Re: Sprint Called to Warn of $200 Overage

So uhh dumb question real quick... are you sure it was Sprint who called you and not one of those third party scammer types?

I would call in and verify that the representative did in fact do what she promised.

Re: Sprint Called to Warn of $200 Overage

Sounds like you need to get a Google voice # and a free "Sprint to Home" # added to your account. Then you'll have unlimited anytime to any number.

Call retentions and ask for the Pick 3, they'll tell you it's $5, tell them your friend had it added for free, they'll refuse, ask about a Sprint to Home #, hopefully they'll offer it for free!

Edit: Looked it up and Sprint to Home is also listed as $5/month http://shop2.sprint.com/en/services/..._to_home.shtml

Never hurts to try for perks though!
