#1. Deals are usually provided to larger companies because they have corporate accounts & spend a considerable amount on services. Deals for the employees are a benefit of being partnered with that company. I'm sure if you spent a few million a year you would expect a discount as well.


#2. No one is "screwing you" by offering a discounted plan or phone pricing to a select group of people that spend more in 1 week with Sprint than you will spend in a lifetime. the "they owe me" mentality is tiresome at best. No one owes you anything. If you don't like the product offers or services of a particular carrier you are more than welcome to switch. I hear Verizon, AT&T, as well as T-Mobile are offering phones at a discounted rate. Perhaps that is the better soluion if your concern lies there


Exploiting a programming flaw to get something you "feel" you deserve is morally wrong. Perhaps that does not concern you. It does concern me. I purchased my phone for $199 through legitimate means, without the need to exploit the system online. I don't plan to change my stance because I am morally grounded & will continue to report any exploit I see to Sprint. At that point it is up to Sprint if they want to correct the problem


I am not going to address the morality of the companies that are accepting bailouts. This thread has nothing to do with that. It's a completely separate subject. Not to mention the business dynamics that would be affected if every company that recieved a bilout stopped recieving discounts... Do we want to go into how many companies both on the giving & receiving end would be negatively affected if such a thing happened?

Bottom line- If you feel what you are doing is morally acceptable, that is fine. I feel what I am doing is the morally correct action to take.
