Sprint may cancel my service due to too much roaming

yankees45us · #1 (**permalink**) 11-11-2011, 11:03 PM

I just got a letter from Sprint saying I am violating their roaming agreement and they are going to be monitoring my account for possible termination. This is outrageous! I was going to cancel anyway because data speeds are horrible where I live and now because my signal is horrible inside of buildings I'm being penalized. I guess verizon will have a new customer soon. Has anyone else had this issue?

Looks to me like they're doing u a favor,no ETF or runarounds like I'm facing in this thread:

You can log into your sprint account and see exactly how much roaming data your using. I think if you consistently use over 300mb roaming data they can do this (terms of service.)

Sounds like you need to find a nice area where your phone goes into roaming and rack up some serious data usage! No etf, problem solved!

jaja good idea. My HD7 came today and I'm updating it to mango now. I'll consider doing that tonight when I get it activated and try to port over my number

Tomorrow will be yet another checkpoint call and hopefully the last as I didn't pay my bill because of all this and I have a simple mobile SIM card on the way in the mail. Simple mobile is a prepaid company that uses the T-mobile network and offers $40 unlimited everything. Any GSM phone with 1700mhz bands can be used.

Let us know how the service is. My brother is looking into simple mobile, boost, and virgin. I told him simple mobile$40 plan looks the best, considering the speeds.

But yeah, as soon as you port out your sprint number, the account is cancelled, you pay etfs.
