Sprint sent me another phone, now what?

when sprint finds out you will be billed full retail and last I checked that's in the 700 range so I would probably do the right thing. you would be shooting yourself in the foot if they find out.

Didnt your parents teach you anything about honesty? What about Karma? From your comment, it appears you are trying to STEAL. I hate dishonest people. Do you really think just because a company accidentally sent you something extra, and since you only paid for ONE phone, that its owed you and you have the right to keep it?

The retail for this phone is $579.99 from Sprint... The $700.00 you are thinking of is the retail price that Best Buy is selling it for...

Damn, people are messed up nowadays. Just the other day, I bought $6 in lottery, paid with a $10, and they gave me $6 in change back. I realized this when I walked out of the store, and I walked back in and said they gave me too much change back, and returned $2 to them.

Honesty will make you feel like a better person. Report it to Sprint, and return it rightfully back to them.

i say he sell it, and then laugh when he gets 2 sets of bills and can't cancel without an ETF and gets charged full price for the phone.

When I got my phone a few days later, I went to check on my ordering status, and it still said it's in BACKORDER. Also, when I got the 1st phone, I couldn't activate it, and there isn't a temp number on it, I's out of phone service for a few days.

So, is it possible to sell the 2nd phone on eBay w/o Sprint knowing about it and charge me for it? This is the first time I use a CDMA serivce, I know for GSM all I need is to unlock the phone and ditch the sim card. But the HTC touch Pro doesn't even come with a sim. Help please?

Thanks

you will be charged for 2 phones.sometimes sprint doubles up on orders but rest assured,they keep track of their equipment.they sent me 2 touches and i was charged for both within 3 months.plus,they have both esn numbers on file.so you can say "i only got 1",which ever phone you activate they will report the other as lost or stolen thus making it have a bad esn.

i find it interesting how people have such double standards. When sprint screws up and sends two, the customer should be responsible and return it. But people think its "more ethical" to take advantage of loopholes that they pull on Sprint around here (like unjust discounts, free phones, etc).

Just because you can do it easier to a big company doesnt make it right either, so practice what you preach. I still think he should return it, but there are a LOT of hypocrites in here quick to ridicule another

Return it, or I'm pretty sure it will come back to you to haunt you.

It's not worth it IMO.

You really should say "some people" instead. I for one, was just happy to keep SERO, and was perfectly fine w/ paying full upgrade price.

There are many people who paid full upgrade price of the phone than who got sweet deals from retentions. The one who paid the full price just don't post it as much.


Anywho, sorry for going off topic.
