Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!

cellardoor,

Don't listen to them. They're just telling you that to discourage you. Your refurb Mogul will eventually crap out (if it even works when you receive it) and they will eventually have to replace it with a Touch Pro.

You have to play it cool with Sprint. If you even hint at wanting a Touch Pro, they will flag you as an upgrade fisher. It's probably too late for you now. They have probably noted your account that you are trying to get a free upgrade to the TP.

For others' benefit, ABSOLUTELY DO NOT MENTION AN UPGRADE AT ALL!! Just tell them that what is wrong with your phone and that you need it replaced. You may get lucky and get a TP. If not, it won't be long before your replacement Mogul craps out.

Whether you go through Asurion or Sprint, it all comes down to what they have in stock. If they are out of Moguls then they have to send you a Touch Pro.

ALSO I can no longer use the self exchange page to even check if i can get a touch pro because it says the "maximum number of transactions for my phone have been completed" after i enter my serial #. i hate sprint hold music

if i make a phone claim at asurion and pay the 55$ and say i lost it (after i unload a clip into my mogul) are they going to replace it with a TP? i have insurance
Well look at it this way, the Mogul will probably have white spots the second you turn it on. BAM! Give it some time and the keyboard will stick and the sync port will flake out. You'll get a TP soon regardless and once it's done, the ESN of the phone is different so if they are keeping track, their counter should reset. But gbm is right - play it cool. I made a point to reference the fact that I didn't want the Vogue and had to have a Mogul when it was replaced the first time in-store. I saw the guy typing and then he asked me why I needed a Mogul and I said I needed the keyboard, but I had to have Windows Mobile too. He mentioned that the TP was coming out in a month or so, but I specifically said I didn't care about upgrading... more typing and then I had the replacement Mogul and I assume a nice little note in their system that I wasn't fishing for a free upgrade. When I called in a month later to deal with tech support about data provisioning, the guy said they were sending out a brand new phone and he specifically stated that he would make sure that it had the keyboard. I never told him that I HAD to have that, so I think he may have seen it on my account notes.

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!

Can you cancel an online claim through asurion at phoneclaim.com? I know you can cancel an advanced exchange from sprint but i didnt know about asurion. I have seen that if you do you have to continue you it and cant start over

Thumbs up Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!

So I got my touch pro on the mail yesterday with a 2.2 lb and I was surprised they were kind enough to send an extra battery. The phone is new I check the ##778#. Now is time to cook!!! I order on Saturday night and missed the first delivery so technically it was delivered on Tuesday. I will be sending back my mogul ...

my friend , you so far are very lucky ... i have had 6 ( thats right 6 ) moguls swapped and the last time was told by a sprint accoutn manager that they would not swap me to TP and didnt care if they lost my business..One the phoen with them for days and days .. getting hung up on beign told they didnt care for my business .... so wen i saw this i called the insurance company and they swapped me for a Diamond, its not a TP but im out of the Mogul world ....

I hope they get beat fro every mogul out there ..they should recall all of them and replace them with TP ...
oh yeah and im ont he SERO plan and yet still im treaded that way ....
