TP Replacements
 

Ok my TP recently broke and im in the process of trying to get a new one. I was told by a sprint employee that they cannot give me another Tp for "blah blah blah" reason and they are trying to offer me a variety of smart phones that are in no way comparable to the TP. So my question is how do i convince sprint to give me another TP or a different phone other then the crappy smartphones they are trying to throw at me?

Warranty or Insurance repair is required to provide you with a comparable phone.

At a minimum I'd get a full keyboard, touch screen, VGA resolution, microSD slot, and windows or android OS.

No Sprint phones other than a TP, TP2, Hero, or Moment have VGA screens. Of those, the hero doesn't have a keyboard. I'd be persistent about the last three and expect that your TP is replaced with a TP.

Advanced exchange is your friend: https://indirect3.sprint.com/apps/ad...&FROM_SPRINT=Y

It'll default to a TP.

Called Asurion last week and was offered a blackblackberry as they "were out of all other choices at the time, refurbed or used."

Hung up, went to my repair center, recieved another TP this morning.

I've never gotten a great person on my first attempt. It always takes a couple tries just to get what you deserve.

Got sprint to give me another TP but they told me that I couldn't go back to them if the phone have any issues because that the phone has problems but I still wanted it. Basically they said when the phone breaks or screws up, don't come b***in to us.

Im like wtf they offer me these crappy smart phones that are not a compatible exchange for the TP and then when I say screw that just give me another TP they tell me don't come back if the phone has issues, seriously now?

If you have TEP and it breaks, they must provide you with a model with equal features. If you have it under warranty and it breaks, the manufactuer is under the same obligation.

Keep notes and a paper trail and be ready to press, not freak out, if they balk on future replacement devices.
