Re: my sprint contract is up, what can i bargain?

They dont do reoccurring discounts anymore much...and to get new device you'll either have to have everything plan, sero premium, EREP(the new sero)...

But they will charge ya $10 extra every month for smartphone fee extra too..

--

Right now you can get some deals off 3rd party like wirefly and amazon on the phone costs even withot bargaining too..

And lastly.. Epic > Evo shift > Evo

Oh and moved

Yes, i am off contract because despite >6 years with Sprint they just want me to pay more. I do not need 4G but they want to make me pay a "smartphone" fee for a new phone whatever type.

Currently I am playing with the Android builds, but not really sure what I will do post-TP2. It looks like I could get a better deal from ATT right now.

Yeah..they are making it a $10 fee for all smart phones..I mean lets look at it this way..sprint said "its not a 4g fee your paying for the processor"..but this year I expect even medium tiered phones will have 1ghz processors..so their argument is moot..so they decided to $10 fee all smartphones claiming they use more "bandwidth"..overall though I see Sprint is going to loose a lot of customers this year :/..
