did i get this, just to get this??? or is this an indication my contract is expiring?? is this a standard email Sprint sends when a contract is up??? ive been with Sprint 9yrs and never seen an email like this for contract extensions... whats a CL customer???

it says though web only too... i dont really want a TP2 but since i have 3 active TPs, i might as well try to barter this offer along with one of my available upgrades and get some more loot off a TP2, just to have one on my roster of phones... dunno if itll work, but if the TP2 drops when rumored, then ill still have about a week or so to swing this offer to my favor

Gotta wonder if they mean an exsisting 2 year agreement or if accepting this, renews it.

I had something similar last year but instead of an email it was a phone call. The person on the other end said they were with Sprint, the calling number did not come back as Sprint when I did a search, and said they could credit my account $70 if I renewed. She also started asking my for my number, name, and PIN. My response was you called me why do you need my number. Long story short I started questioning her and asked for a call back number. As soon as I hung up I called Sprint and they told me the number that called me was not in their directory. The rep also said that they do not offer a $70 credit to renew accounts but they do offer $50 off per line credit on the account if I renewed. That was $200 I wasn't going to pass up so I did so. The Sprint CS rep then sent me to the fraud line so I could report the person that called me.

Moral of the story: Call Sprint and ask them about this email. You may get a better deal unless you are planning on switching carriers.

CL is corporate liable, like if your work is picking up the tab on your phone.

basically if you say yes to a 2 year service agreement you get a month of service free, just make sure it doesn't effect your device upgrade time frame.

tp2 should be out September 3-8, cant waite to get one in store and play with it.

Your contract and handset upgrade timelines are not connected. So it wont be affected if you renew your contract.
