Re: Sprint TP2, 3G new fees, forced new plans, no grandfather, no upgrade path
Ha! you made it over here & through the posts... :>))
Started this thread way back in March... you need to go to retentions & ask
why there is no upgrade for a long time Sprint loyal customer?
What is the next phone I can buy and keep the same plan that is better than my tp2
What do you mean there is none?
Well I certainly expect to be able to put another tp2 on my plan!
Be polite & very wordy with lots of technical detail to retentions... say thank a bunch, be ready to walk, or at least have them convinced. They'll NEVER just say, OK I booting you.. worst case you swallow some pride.. but that just won't happen...
I know I can get this deal from retentions. Add another line & phone for $10 more a month to share your free & clear shared plan. And, not have to pay a premium fee for the TP2 I would add.
Be aware, you should know... there is no data on that extra phone. You can get the cheap data plan for $10, no texting..
The best you'll get, I know I can get:
$10 add a new tp2 phone & line
$10 add a data plan
$5 for 500 text messages/month.
Yea, that's $25 bucks & you'll have to share the voice minutes. But if you can do that, your floating real nice... about the best you'll get..
If voice minutes are tight & you need more you have 2 options.
1. Get a google voice number & use it via the web on the phone or home, OR pay $5 & setup a home # free, OR put XDANdroid on your SD card & run google voice using the droid side of your tp2... see my sig line "Android"
2. Not all reps will tell you this, so try & get the texting & this from retentions at the same time... $5 for 100 extra min.. they have that deal they can offer, also have a $5 for 200 extra, same price, less willing to discuss, it's there.. I know, I have it :>))
I'm not going to detail out everything I've said here... click the links in my sig for reading on most of it, do some searching & googling, report back after some research & i'll help you then..
Good luck
If anyone is adding a TP2 & can do better, please feel free to post what & how.
