Uh... I never used TEP, and paid my $55 to exchange my mogul for a TP via the website.

The bump in TEP has nothing to do with this little game. The bump in TEP was planned for over a year @ sprint.

The issue with TEP, as I understand it from insiders, is that people who have TEP on average exchange their phones 3-4 times a year. The bump is designed to encourage people to be a bit more careful, or if not to cover some of the costs for folks who exchange phones like underwear.

Now, me personally, I will not likely need a new phone for a couple years and will just buy the next one like I bought the others. Sprint gets nearly a thousand dollars a year off my service, and 3 handsets every couple years. I'm sure they're not losing money on me.

I did some what the same I had 2 moguls, one of them I cracked the screen and told them my screen is cracked, they sent me a TP and I sent them my cracked mogul.

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!

I wonder if people have had different experiences depending on their status with Sprint as far as in contract, out of contract, etc. Because I'm out of contract and I just sent in my Mogul that had like 4 problems I had just been dealing with until it became too bothersome and got a refurbished one. I'm guessing if I have problems they will keep sending me refurbs because i'm out of contract, lol... I would like the Touch Pro but I'm not about to be trying to find any little problem and returning it begging or hoping for the TP. The Mogul is an awesome phone and this refurb works great, can't find anything wrong with it yet.

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!

Just a question, once you guys got ur replacements did sprint charge an activation feed? I'm asking cause when I moved on up from an LG Muziq to a Mogule they tried to hit me up with the activation feed (long story short, it was my phone that I paid in full and not an upgrade or anything) when I swaped phones even after I did it my self online. That pissed me off on how they try to charge me $20 or $25 for something they didn't even lift a fingure for to do.

In the end they said in the future if I switch phones that they will charge me but at that time they were gonna let it slide.

3-4 times a year? I've had sprint for 4 years and have done two swaps...One was my fault when I took my Mogul for a swim. The next time was when the replacement they sent me decided to start acting funny.
