[QUOTE=ObsoleteE;1162091]I have 6 months left on my contract. The prorated thing started a few months after I signed that contract so I am SOL. I already spoke to a rep about this. It would be nice if there were a way around the fee QUOTE]

the rep is wrong... it doesnt matter when u signed up... they paid out millions in settlement fees... who did the millions goto??? people who had been charged ETFs with proof in the past....

why were they paying off people who had already paid the ETFs, and b4 the new terms... because they had too... it was deemed all were over charged and they had to toss back money... it was a 20dollar gift card or 5bucks on your account.... not really offsetting the fees somone would of paid b4hand, but ti paved the way for our new TOS agreements...

thats all you have to point out that its in the TOS, anytime sprint changes a policy or TOS, the next time we pay our monthly bill after the change, we are agreeing to it.... much like the asurion rate hike.... its not like everyone who had insurance b4 that hike doesnt have to pay it higher rate now....

so you couldve signed your contract 1yr, yr and a half ago... doesnt matter, sprint cannot charge you the full ETF after a few months because the price comes down every month after that.... if you have 6 months left your ETF shouldnt be more than about 75-100 bucks...

try a different rep...and even retentions... not to argue with, but to get the facts from someone other than a possibly brain dead Sprint CS agent

you can be grandfathered into the Rate of a plan, but they cant try to grandfather you into ETFs... flat out, carriers are not allowed to charge the full ETF amount after a few months of service at a minimum
