i read that whole thing and have no clue what youre ranting about, what did sprint do wrong in that situation? I'm assuming you fully understand what it means when you signed the contract in the first place.

[strra]

as far as i know, sprint has a static $200 early termination fee for any contract signed after mid-2008 because of some lawsuit.
as for a freeze, they have a feature that will let you pay only $9 per line but your contract for that phone will be extended one month for every month it's active on a line.

but your argument about going to verizon because of an ETF is invalid because all carriers charge one if you sign a contract

as for plans, there is a 700 minute share plan for $69 that does not include text or data.... you can add unlimited of both to one line for another $30 ($15 for unlimited data and $15 for unlimited texts (or $5 for 300 texts, $10 for 1000 texts)) and put the freeze on the other line and it still comes up cheaper than the $129 1500 minute everything share plan

The sprint reps always act like they are trying to end the conversation.
Plus, I understand I have signed the contract, but it's not like I wanted to cancel the line at short notice, Im sure they could removed the line for free or cheaper.
Another whats the point of a chat room if they direct you to call the 888 number anyway?

the chat room is for simple questions and answers. for cancelling your line you would have to speak with a representative. that is the best route for you because the rep who will cancel your line will have the best options for you and will try to retain you at all costs, you will probably end up getting way cheaper service.

I wish I had a dollar for everytime I've heard someone complain about Sprint. Big Red costs more, but you get what you pay for. Next to marriage, leaving Sprint was probably the best day of my life... heheh.....not quite that major but you get the point...
