How to get Airave2 now with 3g

I don't know who has heard but on 8/20, the airave access point was officially announced by Sprint. This new unit is now made by airvana and finally supports voice and data.

So of course I checked the site and nothing. Then I called sprint asking on how to get on. And of course no one knew what I was talking about. After 3 phone calls talking to 7 ppl, finally found someone that didn't think I was crazy. They kindly transferred me to account services (for the third time) and they said they will do a swap.
The new unit actually isn't available until 2011 and will only be offered to current users that inquire about it and to people that threaten to terminate. So if you don't have one, threaten to cancel I suppose. And the new unit has no fees at all attached to it like the original piece. Where there is a will there is a way and I will be enjoying mine when I get it on Friday.
Good luck!

Re: How to get Airave2 now with 3g

Tis is true about the new Airvana...it's around but not yet out. Anyone (like me) that already has a Airave is eligible to get the new one. Your account currently reflects a Upgrade for that line...so when it comes out they will offer the new one to you. I also heard you have to send back the old one...but I am going to look into that before I send it back.

Re: How to get Airave2 now with 3g

there have been several people on other forums (and this one also) who have received the new version without having the original. just call into retentions and explain to them your situation. they will also sneak in a 18 dollar activation fee so make sure you inquire about any fees before you end the call.

Re: How to get Airave2 now with 3g

Just called up and they will be sending me a new Airave2 and a return kit for the old. No hassle at all.

I've called 4 times and still can't get them to send me one, even though I have the samsung airave. I will wait. I'm tired of messing with idiots who have no idea what they are talking about. I'm happy with using my wifi when I'm at home.
