Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
Wow. That sucks. Good news is, you can see *exactly* what they are proposing to ship. Keep checking back, apparently (when I was skimming this topic yesterday) it happened before as well that they "offered" a mogul. Then, later, it was back to the TP. Just try again later, and when it does say
Replacement Phone Information:
Model Name: UTStarcom Touch Pro Handset Kit
Hit it.

Edit: - UPS says mine is out for delivery TODAY, a day early. Will let y'all know if it comes, and if its a TP or a mogul. I'm feeling like forrest gump... you don't know what you've got until you open it up :p

I am very glad that I put in the request to get this TP, it is miles ahead of the titan.

I took mine in to a sprint store today and showed them the issue with the USB port and after some wheeling and dealing I got them to upgrade me to a brand new Touch Pro (the retail box) for free I should have it Monday or Tuesday

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
anyone here got a touch pro from the link when it said the ppc 6800 rplacement?

weedahoe 01-22-2009 02:38 PM

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
Will all of you please take a moment and go to your profile and add what carrier and device you have. I wanna know who you are with but dont wanna have to ask the same Q to several different people. That way I can know who has Sprint and who has VZW and he is getting offered a TP v/s 6800.

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
Just tried the claim from the Nextel link and got offered another Mogul.

I guess I'll try again another time or try to find time and make it up to the store to see what they can offer me.

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
Used the sprint link tuesday night and was offered a touch pro. Checked the UPS tracking today and it says out for delivery, 3.4 lbs. Working is going to be tough this afternoon.

Touch Pro was waiting for me when I got home NIB with extra battery in the shipping box!

coolwhip1220 01-22-2009 03:05 PM

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
So after first recieving a refurb mogul from Asurion, I just recieved the TP they promised me. And sprint credited me the $50, but I don't think Asurion is even charging me because they sent me the wrong phone in the first place. So now I'm off to a store to see if I can get an extra battery and screen protectors.

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
Used this trick and now 3 people I know have swapped for the touch pro. Thank the lord for this easy replacement process.

UPS dropped it on me - it's good to be a telecommuter.

New in box TP. Extra battery in bottom of external shipping box + return mailer.

Wow. Kiss productivity goodbye for today.

I had in the last 4 months been in contact with Sprint no less that 15 times all due to problems with my phone. Problems where the norm it seems lock ups, keyboard problems, large white spots on screen, and bad usb port. I have TEP but sprint was reluctent to do anything as far as upgrade which I understand. Its not meant to be a free upgrade service.

So I figured if I would wait long anough that the 6800 would be EOL'ed and go through asurion. Well, I didnt even have to do that. So I followed the links and placed my order on friday and recieved my Touch Pro on monday. Thanks orionsbuckle :)

np man...glad i could help...any info i get i try to post on here. managing a sprint store there are a few times i get info early on

glittler 01-22-2009 03:41 PM

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
I'm with sprint. I don't think I've heard of anyone from verizon getting a TP

DiamynzNPearlz 01-22-2009 03:53 PM

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
Everyone that was upgraded may want to check their plan because I noticed my Unlimited Txt Messaging add-on for $5 was deleted from my account because the add-on can not be used with the phone (so this customer care rep says). I am on the line right now with Sprint to sort this mess out...if its not one thing its another...

ccannon27 01-22-2009 03:57 PM

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
:headbang:anyone know someone who is trying to sell a mogul? I want one and haven't been able to get my hands on one!!!! BLAH! Let me know!

ccannon27 01-22-2009 04:00 PM

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
And just so everyone knows... I work for sprint and if you come to the store, we will backorder a mogul for you... call asurion and tell them you need it now, and they will send out a new tp... hope this helps!

mikey0422 01-22-2009 04:05 PM

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
VICTORY!!!!

Ok, this morning it was still telling me my replacement would be a REC Mogul, but now is showing the Touch Pro kit....but the next screen says:

Your Sprint account will be billed $119.00 plus applicable taxes for this Phone Replacement request.

Our records indicate your phone is enrolled in our Total Equipment Protection or Equipment Replacement Program, which covers physical and/or liquid damage. If you prefer to process an insurance claim, which requires a non-refundable deductible, please contact Asurion directly at 1-800-584-3666 or Click Here to submit your claim request for a replacement phone.

What's up with that??? Anyone else see that?

3.4lbs is the package everyone has been reporting as the TP. Call or e-mail Sprint to get a confirmation on exactly what that is.

I am curious to know what issues you reported with the phone.

blockburner28 01-22-2009 04:31 PM

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
rushing though the whole thing I order it when it was the mogul. What would happen if I order another now on the same esn?

I put the Case/Plastic thing, and in the Additional problems box I indicated that it's the USB/charging port inside tab thing that's broken, and also that it occasionally spontaneously reboots.... Does that make a difference?

I just want to say this isn't a trick, this is meant for the people who have real issues with their phone. Now that everyone who has a mogul and wants a "free" upgrade are doing it, people with real issues are getting stuck with another mogul.

If you don't have a true problem with the phone, don't use this. It hurts everyone else.

Just went back in, and instead of the above, just chose the Phone Powers Off and On, and now it says I can get the TP and "You have saved $55.00 plus applicable taxes under enrollment in the Equipment Service & Repair Program. "

Hmmmmm..

By the end of the day when you get the first email, you can track it here

http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/reference?loc=en_US

Put in the ESXXXX number and it should show up.

I'm pretty impressed with the TP. Yeah. Wow. Nice hand warmer ;)

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
i just called asurion and they said that i would be receiving a new mogul, not the TP, so CA people make sure you double check. I actually do have issues, phone turns off/on it's own and my voice record button is broken. Just a heads up

blockburner28 01-22-2009 06:17 PM

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
This is the email I got back from ecare.

Thank you for your reply.

As per the notes on the account, handset of different model has been
sent to you. I am sorry that we are not able to track the handset model
from here.

You can email at "AEescalations@sprint.com" for questions about the
order number(,,,,,,,,).

Thank you again for writing to us.

Sincerely,
Katy S.
Customer Service Specialist
Sprint



I emailed the other people also an when I called sprint trying to get my tracking info on the phone. She said she couldn't find the info on the shipping so I ask if I should order it again and she said yes I got them to put a note on my account that if I order again I won't get charged

I had issues as well, and was living with them. Doing the swap request via the website, not asurion, is a no-human way to check for a TP exchange. If its offered, take it, If not it will say so so just don't accept it and return to living with your mogul issues and try again later.

It's always a crapshoot - if you are doing an exchange, you get the same thing, or if they are out of them, you get what they have that meets the specs.

I have no concerns that the issues I reported will be reproducible on my return, as they happen for me right after a hard reset.
