Further evidence that we are not "nickel and diming" Sprint for demanding a $199.99 price match. If one carrier can give the phone away for free and still profit from the monthly fees then they call can. It goes to show how little the phone is actually costing the carriers to purchase wholesale.

I wounder how much Sprint pays for the phones?

You guys are posting half truth's here.

That is if you are a NEW CUSTOMER TM will do that for you.And it is not TM it is a outside source that gets paid if you sign up as a new customer.

If you look sprint has them also as in the past i seen deals that i said WOW but you had to be a new customer.All of them do it you have to look.AND BE A NEW CUSTOMER.

In my case I had to call a few times too. I called once a few days after purchasing my phone and was denied the $199 price match. This was about a week before Mayonesa's thread came into existence. What retentions DID do was give me a $50 credit and their "pick 3 landlines" offer.

The day this thread was created I called back Sprint and asked for the price match and was denied. I then contacted them through the online chat and was told I WOULD receive it if I called back. Then I called CS again and they denied me. LOL They transferred me to retentions and the guy took about five minutes to review my case notes. Then came back and said I'd have the match in 72 hours - no questions asked.

Well, this was on 9/29. This morning I called back and got retentions on the line to verify it. They told me that the credit had passed through their auditing department and went all the way up to VP level before it was approved - but - it IS approved and will appear on my account on Monday. They are sending me an email to verify it.

Perseverance goes a long way with Sprint. In the end I got $200 knocked off the price.

I don't agree that they make people jump through hoops to get decent offers. The end result is satisfactory though.

who in real life likes giving money away? of course Sprint will give people a hard time. it doesnt matter if the price did drop or not on the 1st but you can still get your credit.

and if enough of us do call them maybe they will " officially" drop the price for everyone.

Actually I think it is on a case by case basis because I got the phone for 199 still get the MIR and didn't sign a new contract. I have been with Sprint for over 10 years though.
