i've lost my pre... my sprint 30 day trial is now over?
 

damn!...

i opened an account with sprint few days ago... i wanted to try the pre.

this morning i just lost my phone in a f***** trip and now i don't know what to do. if i report the lost to the insurance: are they going to charge me the $100 deductible?...

what about my 30 day trial with sprint?... is now over?. I don't think they are going to accept a "different" phone if i decide not to stay with the service at the end of the month :(

Yea if you call sprint and say its lost they will charge you and no they won't let ou do anything with the trial unless you have ur pre when you go in

so... after this i will be able to recover my phone by paying the insurance 100 bucks... but my 30 day trial is over?. i mean, sprint won't accept the replacement phone that the insurance will send me, right?

Re: i've lost my pre... my sprint 30 day trial is now over?
 

right. i work for sprint..returns or exchanges must be original items. of course that it the store managers discretion though, but thats normal policy

Re: i've lost my pre... my sprint 30 day trial is now over?
 

yeah... i guess i'll have to stay with sprint for 2 years from now :(

i've requested the replacement to the insurance company :s

you can cancel the account, you just wont get the money back for the Pre. call insurance, pay the deductible and hope someone will pay $400 for a Pre, either here,ebay or craigslist. Since you paid 299.99 for the phone, if you cancel within 30 you wont get the mail in rebate, and you put in $100 for the insurance claim.

If he doesn't return the pre he has to pay the $550 price for the phone not the $299 price.

negative, got my TP this way, didnt have to pay the difference.

Re: i've lost my pre... my sprint 30 day trial is now over?
 

Seriously? So what's the point of the early termination fee? You're saying I can cancel my line I added for the pre keep the pre at $299 and sprint loses out on $250?

Re: i've lost my pre... my sprint 30 day trial is now over?
 

the cancellations department has nothing to do with returns, especially if you bought the phone from a store, one of the policies for returning devices is they must be deactivated before the return is approved. So if you call and cancel, how do they know you didnt bring the phone back to the store????

I added a new line of service to get a TP, did a flip-flop between the numbers on my account. Wasnt happy so i called and cancelled the new line of service within 30 days. i forgot to return the device to the store within 30 days, but was never charged anything extra, i just never got my mail in rebate.

Re: i've lost my pre... my sprint 30 day trial is now over?
 

Wow that is good to know. So you're saying to do the cancellation over the phone, and not stop by the store at all. Definitely seems like a way to abuse the system though, but good to know.

Re: i've lost my pre... my sprint 30 day trial is now over?
 

not something i would suggest to do intentionally...... im sure if it happens multiple times they will catch on, but just so the OP doesnt get stuck with a 2yr contract and having to pay full retail to get another one. I would just pay the deductible to get another Pre and continue the service, but if OP is looking to cancel service, it would be the best way possible given the circumstances.

If you think the Phone might still be on, put Sprint family locator on the account, see if you can't find it

Re: i've lost my pre... my sprint 30 day trial is now over?
 

Out of curiosity, is the Pre still active?

Re: i've lost my pre... my sprint 30 day trial is now over?
 

Yes, because it's a PREtty good phone.
