A few weeks ago I got this little black envelope from sprint welcoming me to there sprint premier blah blah blah... along with other benefits it said that I could get a discount on a new phone ever 12 months instead of ever 24.

So... here is my question: Why when I called sprint today to order the Touch pro 2 they told me I wasn't eligible for a discount until 11/1/09? thats when my contract is over! I have had my current contract for like 22 months why do i have to wait 24 when the letter says I only have to wait 12? Anyone else have this issue?

all you have to do is call sprint. you're premier now, so you can bargain with them because you have tenure. just tell them that tmobile made you a better offer and ......never mind, i'll pm you.

Yeah but the savings on a SERO should make up the difference. I gave up my SERO years ago because I needed more lines on my account.

I dont think it has to do with having a low sprint bill, I am pretty sure it has to do with paying ontime how many yr you have been with sprint...as in being a sprint loyal cust...etc.

I been with them 12yrs, never been late on payments..since it come out of the card...and I just became a "Premier" cust about 1 1/2 yrs ago.

Requirements to be a Sprint Premier Customer is to be a Sprint customer for at least 6 months and have an individual plan of at least $69.99 a month or a Family Plan of at least $99.99 per month for three consecutive months or must be a Sprint customer for at least 10 years. The plans are base plans before any add ons.

Then for me it was being with them for at least 10yrs.

I remember the days when they were a piece of $#$# company down here in S. Tx, Southwestern Bell was the leader in cell...with Sprint heck you just went out of Corpus Christi city limits and you were in roam...it was bad, but I stuck with them and now they can compete with anybody in this area.

I used to drive from San Antonio to Del Rio quite regularly and once I got into Uvalde county I had no service at all. Not even roaming. I think it was an issue with county government. Now it is much better. I get much better coverage now than many of my friends that have AT&T, formerly Cingular, formely Southwestern Bell.
