Sprint Plans for the Diamond

[houston713]

I know everyone is wondering about the SE plans and if the phone (or any future PDAs) will require one. The way it is set up is if you're eligible for the full upgrade discount(150) you have to EITHER have a $25 or more data add on plan or and Everything plan to RECIEVE your mail in rebate. If you dont care bout the 100 MIR then you fine but if so you would need one or the other. If you elect to add the 25 or 30 data add on you can change it after you recieve the 100 (fyi, if you have a out dated vision add on you cannot reactivate it). If you are starting new service it would require an Everything plan to recieve the MIR (we no longer offer the older plans and PDAs require Everything Plans) you can elect a basic plan (minuste only) but you couldnt add text or data (as it would require you to change to an Everything plan). Hope this helps

so us on the SERO plans would have to switch to a simply everything plan in order to get the mail in rebate? i mean i wouldnt do that just to get a 100 dollar rebate or anything, but thats pretty lame lol.

We are getting conflicting stories on that.... it may be that is the way it works through one purchasing avenue and not others (Best Buy versus Sprint perhaps) Best to wait and see without getting too alarmed yet.

well the the sero thats still up in the air, from my understanding NO you dont have to change, only if you getting the Instinct would you need to change to one of the new SERO plans but im not 100% sure on that. And with best buy i dont know for sure either with their MIR requirements but if you dont believe me with the sprint avenue, just go to sprint.com, go to upgrades and then download MIR form and it says plan as day PDA's require $25 or more for MIR. They had the touch labled as a regular phone which didnt require that data pack but they do have the touch diamond labled as a PDA

I have unlimited texts for $8 and unlimited data for $10...in addition to a killer retention plan (1,000 anytime plus nights @ 8pm, weekends and Sprint to Sprint for $50). No way I'm giving that up. Sprint WILL give me all of the discounts for the phone...that's all there is to it.

I got my mogul last year for $200 from the retention dept with no mail-in nonsense or anything. 5 days later it was at my door. Of course having 6 lines of service since '00 helps out a ton.

I expect to do the same for the Diamond.

Well you have a SPECIAL situation. I was posting that informations for the average joe cust. IDK if they will or will not let you do the same with the Diamond (hopefully they will). I DO know what the MIR and plans associated with them, require for the 100 for regular cust.

I strongly urge those with high customer values to exploit Sprint. If you have had service for several years and pay on time then there is no reason why they shouldn't go out of their way to make you happy.

They will only do so much. For instance, someone might try to run that same plan with the instinct and demand a regular plan, doesn't mean they are going to bend over backwards. Sprint will do what is in their power to make the customer happy but will not always take everyones crap. kind of depends who you get on the phone also. People forget when sprint was firing customers about 3 years ago. Customers would call in and complain about the same thing 10 different times and sprint was letting those customers go without making them pay their cancellation fees. So just to think sprint will bend over every single time is a stretch. But on the realisitic side of business it does make sense and it does happen that when you call in they are more likely to bend futher with you because like you said mulitple lines and you've been a customer for awhile. My point is that if they make a rule like you have to have sep or something like that, and then they let you slide only cause you have 3 lines, they can get in trouble for that, which is why every 2 years sprint is getting sued by an employee and they end up paying millions to every employee, which is what happened last year and 2 years before, or they get sued by a customer and end up paying millions again. I've worked for sprint for the last 4 years they've been sued every year that i've worked there, for one thing or another, and they always break because they would just rather pay the money.
