Re: sprint sucks

I am in exactly the same boat (6 years, contract up, 3 lines and a Mogul). What rates are you guys getting for plans? Verizon offered me the phone for $199, 2 lines and 700 minutes for $70 and $10 for a third line and $30 for data on one line.l This totals $110/month and they will take off 15% for my University connection (or AAA). So this is about $95. I was grandfathered in at $5 for the data in the past with Sprint. They now want to charge me $30. They never get back to me. T-Mobile is even cheaper as is ATT, iPhone included. What is wrong with Sprint? They cannot say their network is better than Verizon!

I went threw 4 TP1's and when i just took it back a week or 2 ago i got a new one sold it for 200$ on ebay and then put that 200$ towards the tp2 from sprint so i pay 150$ the same price as Verizon.

All these people crying for them to match Verizon is STUPID.I wish Sprint would tell you this.OK WE WILL MATCH THERE PRICE ON THE PHONE AND NOW HOW ABOUT LETS MATCH THERE PLAN AND YOURS!

Re: sprint sucks

Couldn't agree more. Why is it when a new phone comes out, people think they should get that phone because their old phone isn't working. Well why did you keep it so long if it has never worked correctly for you?

Come on people, Sprint is a business which is trying to make a profit just like every other business. If you owned Sprint, you would not be giving out free phones everytime a new model gets released. If you didn't like your current phone, you've had plenty of time to complain and try another model. Now that there is a new phone, its kind of obvious your intentions.

derrickmd18: the price is what it is. sorry, but it is nothing different than any other computer product, luxury car, or high end electronics. the price of the phone will eventually drop, but it costs more $$ for the latest n' greatest.

i can remember when the first HD TV's were $10,000.00!!

Better than Verizon? I don't pay any extra $$$ for roaming, I have UNLIMITED data and UNLIMITED text. Total: $49.99Month. My first contract had already been fulfilled so I had no problem simply renewing my original plan.

It doesnt matter what tower my phone connects to and I know Verizon can't come close to that price.

Re: sprint sucks

I'm not sure where Sprint gets off charging so much for the TP2, how on earth can they justify that??

As far as comparing Sprint & VZ monthly fees, that is like apples & oranges.

I have had both over the years, you go with Sprint to save money or you go with Verizon for the best network coverage (& there is a difference). Sure, a Sprint phone can roam off a VZ tower but it's not even close to the "same thing".

Re: sprint sucks

You could always do what I did....EBAY

$505 and no contract extension. Got it today, now need to activate it.

Only option I had, while keeping my plan. I had a Treo 700p and the wouldn't budge and didn't care.
