Only Sprint plans and Sprint specific addons get grandfathered, outside insurance no, you can't grandfather that, why would you expect that? Asurion is not a Sprint controlled company, Verizon & Sprint are customers of Asurion.

You can't have your grandfathered status taken, unless you agree to another plan that you sign for, no exceptions.
Ask others here, if you've been with sprint for years without a plan change, you'd know that this is fact.
and your the all seeing, all knowing sprint guy huh.... theres no real unlimited data... yes plans/rates... i had an old plan where i got 4 free downloads a month for sprint music.. had it well after the plan was gone...

and since they offically AND legally changed the TOS, which you wouldve agreed to by paying the next bill after july 31st 2008, hence losing your so called "grandfather status" on your "unlimited data"... read the fine print.. "sprint may change plan details without notice, for any reason and at any time"....

without tethering and extreme amounts of streaming, it would be near impossible to go over 5gb on a device.. again, your using "phone as modem" and/or usb modem(ics) even without the plan... so guess what, sprint COULD(being the operative word there) still charge you, notify you that you need a PAM plan, or cancel you altogether...

and Asurion doesnt have to be sprint, its a contract you entered at a previous time, under different terms, and guess what genius, it got changed... "grandfathering" is exactly that when we talk about phone plans... entering into a legally binded contract under one set of terms, the new terms change, and they allow your previous terms to hold true....

same thing with asurion, that contract you entered into legally and willfully, was changed... yet no grandfather status... but why not, its the same principal as sprint cap change....

since were talking about grandfathered contracts.... what about someone who has had the same plan for say 9yrs... VOIP was not even out then for mobile devices.. so does that mean you can use VoIP on that old contract, since the TOS you signed up with wouldnt of listed that as a big no no??? absolutely NOT!!!! and that would be a perfect example of something that Could be grandfathered in, since its a difference in 2 TOS'...

when they update TOS, the next time you pay the bill, you agree to the new TOS, no matter what it said b4, your liable under the new terms.... thats why u can keep an old rate plan for yrs and yrs, it has nothing to do with the TOS
