Defected from Sprint for Touch

[kwolford]

I took advantage of Sprints 'loophole' they created by sending out a postcard stating that they were adding additional charges to accounts as of January 1st and was able to jump ship without early termination. Good thing, because I really wanted the touch and although the data plan pricing isn't as good as Sprint, the phone is amazing. I was an HTC Apache user for the last 3 years and was always so close to having it all in one device after registry tweaks and flashing roms. Now, with my Touch and getting the internal GPS to work with my Garmin Mobile XT as well as the true bluetooth 2.0 and my stereo headset....I am in heaven. I worked for McCaw in the early nineties, then Cellular One and then AT&T and wouldn't have believed that true 'convergence' of technoligies would have ever come this far. My first phone was a Motorola D-series brick phone.

Who else has left Sprint for this amazing phone?

Hi..

I am with Sprint (have the Mogul) right now and would like to leave them for AT&T and the Tilt. I recall getting the little slip of paper in my bill reference the charges / changes. If I recall correctely it was advising that there were charges which we would no longer receive and then a couple of compensatory new charges.

What did you say when you called up Sprint so that they let you out of your contract without an early termination fee? I would like to be armed with a little information so that I dont go into the call blindly and have them trick me into staying by saying it doesn't apply or something like that.

Thanks very much!

I'm deeply confused here, Sprint has the Touch, a more powerful one than anyone else at that.

Did you mean to say you left for the Kaiser/Tilt?

Just say you do not agree to the newly changed terms and conditions and want to end your contract without paying the early termination fee. They might try to call your bluff and say "Come on, what's the real reason?" Just be persistent that you don't agree with the new billing change.

hmm, I didn't have to leave Sprint to get this amazing phone for $99. I think Alltel was the only other carrier that has the touch.

does anyone know what the hell this thread is about? as of 12/17 sprint already had the touch, in-fact i HAD my touch with sprint at that time... so why did he leave sprint to get the half speed half ram version?
