Anyway, when he got laid off we had to switch to SERO 500 (account says SERO 500 F&F) but no contract.

When I upgraded (I was eligible) I got the TP2 for the crappy $349 after MIR and had to agree to a 2 yr contract but kept the $30 SERO plan.

I've read the yes, no, forget it threads of whether I can call Sprint and try to get any further discount especially since a) I am on a $30 sero plan and b) the sale is complete (but I'm obviously in my 30-day period)

Am I really wasting my time if I try to call them to get any kind of additional credit given the inconsistency of the phone's pricing between Sprint's offerings and even Verizon?

If I were to actually return the phone in the 30 day period and go back to my old phone (Moto Q9c) would that undo the 2 yr contract and "reset" everything to how it was before I called to order the TP2?

I will post the results of my calls to them but if anyone has any pointers/advice, etc that would be great. In reading these posts it seems to just be a hit-or-miss and being persistent can sometimes win in the end.

Thanks
No, returning it will NOT undo everything. I tried to do the same thing after buying an LG Lotus last April, and was told by the rep that I will only get my money back on the phone itself, the contract will still be valid & unless I exchanged it for another new phone, I would also lose my upgrade discount. This is actually how I ended up with a TP1, lol...
