Sprint Seasonal Standby Plan

[d1hamby]

I just found out about a plan that doesn't seem to be on any of their web pages. It is for planned non use of your cell phone for more than a month at a time. This is how it was supposed to work, you pay $8.99 when you activate or deactivate your plan. You pay a prorated portion of the month that you have used when you activate your plan. You pay a prorated amount again for the month when you deactivate your plan, so you're paying for the portion of the month that you're using. Since you are paying $8.99 each time it is better not to use it for less than 2 months. You are also extending your contract for the months that you use it, or have your plan on standby. The standby plan does not help if your ending your service since the contract is automatically extended.
