You all should be happy too, have you seen what Verizon and the others are charging. Who the hell cares if you don't live in a 4g area. If you travel somewhere that does are you telling me you don't want to rock your phone out. If you can't handle the $10 bucks you shouldn't buy an expensive phone or a smartphone. Why don't you go out and buy one of those giant number cricket phones for the old folks and stop your whining.

We knew about the $10 before we got the phone. I'll gladly pay it considering the power of the phone and how they leave me alone to tether, etc. Especially considering I'm still sitting on an old sero plan.

Meaning it's not like you got the phone and then a month later sprint told you that you have to pay 10 more a month. For all that got the devices you accepted the fee so grow up and get the bottle out your mouth.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You agree to pay the fee.

You believe the fee is for 4g service. After you have already agreed to pay the fee you believe you should not have to pay it since 4g is not offered in your area.

What I don't understand is why you would buy a 4g phone knowing that you will not be able to use the 4g service, and agree to pay a fee that you believe is for a service that you know you will not be able to use? That makes no sense. If you didn't want to pay the fee you should not have purchased the phone.

Let Sprint not charge money they obviously NEED to stay in business and get bought out by Verizon so people can see how inconvenient $10 is compared to $30 or $40 more for the same features.

how big? wanna share?


well. i was going to be an old nasty bastard (like usual) but decided to rethink and try to be a little more tactful. so the following is what i've come up with.

are you guys f-ing kidding me? Sprint lies to us about the damn fee and you "kids" have the grapes to call us whiners? really? seriously? we were told there would be no fee for the 4G. then we were told that there would be a $10 fee for 4G use. then we were told that the $10 fee wasn't for 4G use, it was for "premium data". wtf is "premium data" ? i have an "everything data" plan. i already have "premium data". i've had it for years.

the fact of the matter is, i could care less about the actual $10 fee if i was getting something for it. but other than lies from Sprint, i'm getting nothing. i'm paying an extra $10 per month ($20 actually because i have two EVOs) and i get shit for it.

all that being said. guys. a way around this whole $10 nonsense is to call retentions like i did and talk to them about it. if you're lucky, they will tell you how bad they feel about making you pay for a fee that is stupid and that they discussed the $10 fee with management and urged them not to enforce it. then (again if you're lucky), they will put you on hold, then come back and tell you that they are going to give you $200+ worth of credits to make you like Sprint again.

so tell me, wasn't that rant nicer than my usual ones?? i think i should take a poll.
