Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!

If you put in a zip code that's far from any Sprint stores, it'll offer to ship you a replacement phone like before. However, at least as of Sunday afternoon it was still just offering a refurbished 6800.

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!

Sprint has refurbished from time to time. The bigger cities have the refurbished and other cities have the option to receive the new TP. Is all about where Sprint sees the most claims.

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!

So what are the chances of me getting a TP if I take my mogule to a local sprint store with the following symptoms: Screen burn-in, unable to hot sync, wifi connection drops every few minutes (in my house) and I hate the fact that I have to press the end call button like 4 times to end a call.

In my recent experience, Sprint will tell you that they can replace the handset with another mogul (through their warehouse or Asurion insurance company) or they can repair it. Though it doesn't make sense, they may try to get you to buy a completely new phone for $300. For another option, they will tell you that you can call Account Services and see what they suggest.

If you have the same problems with the new handset, they may hard reset it for you and tell you that it's running quicker now. In my experience, they won't even address the unresponsiveness (after they hard reset your phone), though they will parrot back that you let them know about it.

To read about my experience: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=56867

Good luck and maybe let the forum know what they say.

one other option is to call it in to the Insurance and whne they send you another phone, tell them that the phone you just recived is bad allso and they are forced to send you a new phone ...since there is no new moguls anymore then they will need to send you one that is compared ..they will send you a TP....atleast that is the rules of the insurance ..
