lmao @ you buddy...

Sprint isnt gonna think your tough, nor is the collection agency after not paying ETFs...

First, you use android... an Ad riddled platform... did you expect something Other than ads when you started using Android???

Second, you used their Service.. meaning you probably ok'd a TOS agreement along the way.. therefore, you already have no claim here..

Third, your daughter shouldnt have any nag screen... since she hasnt opted in to a free trial for the service... As you stated, You never saw this screen before and/or until the trial expired... so, why are you anticipating your daughter will have to see this?

Fourth, in relation to #1.. why arent you worried she'll click on any number of Ads in ALL the apps for Android?? why are you only hell bent on this one..

Fifth, unless you bought your phones contract free - you DONT own it... When you sign an agreement/upgrade/etc to get a new Device, its basically a rental agreement.. Sprint agrees to give you a device at a subsidized price, You agree to pay the bill for atleast 2 years.. you dont, Sprint wants the true cost of the device and an ETF.. they kind of have the right to expect that even.. AFTER you run a full contract period (ie 1yr or 2 yr -depends on terms) then you by all aspects of law and contracts OWN your device.... but not before that time...

Sixth, acosted... your daughter is going to be "approached with hostilty or harmful intent" by an Ad screen???

Last, how about you let the daughter decide what screens bother her... your making your issue, Her issue... and thats just not the case... since she doesnt even own the phone yet Dont you think your over-reacting a bit?

if thats really how you feel about Ads, then my friend, Android is not the platform for you or your children...

EDIT - and there may not be ads on the visual voicemail app on another carrier, but every other Android ad will still be there.. none of your phones will work(unless mEtroPCS), so youll be spending 100s, if not 1000s of dollars getting new phones for everyone... AND your monthly plan will be higher almost guarenteed... I dont really think Sprint is going to feel threaten by your feeble attempts at Alpha Customer.. probably in your bet interest to just swallow your pride here..

However if your hell bent on getting out of contract: USE an excessive amount of roaming voice calls and/or roaming data... and Sprint will cut you lose no problem AND ETF FREE...
