Sprint HTC Evo 4G

[Insatiable]

I've never had to change my plan even when I went from a non-winmo phone to a winmo phone and vice versa. I know TMO makes you have blackberry plans and stuff like that.

If that's what has happened to you, I'm sorry. It is your fact cause apparently its happened to you.

I think the other poster was just stating that maybe you haven't had to change in a ahwile and things are clearly different now. I have the Everything Data plan for family, 4 phones. Only two are winmo phones. The other two are an LG Rumor and a Samsung Rant. Phones are upgrading and changing on my plans like every 6 months!

I've never been asked to change my plan based on the kind of phone that I use.

With that, I just hope (even tho I don't THINK they will) Sprint doesn't have an extra charge for 4G.

Cause this phone is a BEAST!!!

I had a powerpack family with (3) lines and unlimted data that was over $100. I now have an Everything Data Family 1500 3 lines - with Any Mobile, Anytime and (3) $5 unlimited incoming add-ons. It's exactly the same price, maybe $1 more and I can change to any phone I want. Glad I changed. I had the same attitude you have but I decided the best thing to do was make a deal. In pouting about it your dealtime is getting slimmer. You really will be paying a whole lot more if you don't act soon. The pickings on deals are getting slimmer and slimmer. This is just my experience.

You can defend Sprint all you want, but don't Direct certain Innuendos towards me. I don't do that with anyone here, so I'd appreciate if you didn't do it to me.
And there is No other Plan that would give me what I have now for the price I am paying, or even come close, so you may want to give more consideration regarding your quick answers to issues that I am bringing up. So as not to clutter the thread, I'd be happy to discuss these issues further via pm if you so desire.

There is nothing to discuss, your issue or "fault" lies with the North American cellular industry. That being said, I'll be happy to try and work out something that will work for you, including discounts that would give you more device freedom.

But with all of the other 3G devices that came out, I should not have to be required to switch plans if my Diamond works fine on it, the other devices should also. Sugar Coating the reasons that Sprint does things does not change the fact that there are most likely work arounds that Sprint does not choose to incorporate.

You were misled and it COULD have been done. I have tons of customers on Free & Clear plans with android/blackberry. Hell, my employee plan is a variation of a Free & Clear Plan and I can use whatever phone I want.

I won't pay 100's or 1000's of dollars more over a 2 year contract period in order to purchase a New Device.

Again, you primarily have a complaint about the industry, this isn't a Sprint-only thing...that being said I'll be happy to discuss this further with you via pm to at least SEE if theres anything that works better for you.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no....it depends on the technology type.

Sometimes we can adjust the codes but sometimes the plans didn't allow for the adjustments. Also realize that it IS a business and of course they want to make more money where they can. That being said, there is NO better value to be had in the North American wireless industry(currently) outside of Sprint ESPECIALLY when your talking about data devices.

I really don't see how you'd be getting less on any of our new plans, in general, however if your a 10 year customer you may already get the early upgrades.

With our new family plans you woulld get:

- Any Mobile Any Time(which basically means unlimited minutes for most people)
- Full 2 year upgrades every 12 months
- Unlimited Data regardless of the phone you choose and data type it supports.
- Sprint Nav, Sprint TV, Any promo data apps that come out, BB Service, etc.
- 7pm N&W

You just owned this dude like 6 times in one post. Hillarious. I love it when somebody with a couple hundred posts knows more about something than somebody with a couple THOUSAND. I mean jesus I've never heard such un-informed ranting. Guy has no clue how the technology actually works, just wants something because he feels like he's entitled to it. Typical red state moron.

SO many people feel that "entitlement" these days, it makes me sick

If your the same JQuill, we had enough of your Sprint Fanboy/girl ****over at SU. That's why most members left years ago.
If you have something to say about me personally, pm me. Better yet, keep it to yourself as I would appreciate not having to listen to your stuff like what you were dishing out at SU.

You may want to read my "couple 1000 posts, as you may see that I have been very helpful to others, and you may learn a thing or two.
Same old JQuill from SU.................Hopefully won't have to read the same old here as we were all were subjugated to over there. Don't you gotta go Mod or something

@ PhantomApolyon

What is this, an SU Reunion or something?
Looks like I' may have to take a haitus, and return when the SU Fanboy/girl Steamship sails out to sea.

I'm cool with that too.

[mike99]

Not to steal the topic (which is what I am doing anyway), but a question, since we have here Sprint member.

Can Verizon phones be used on Sprint? (Even theoretically??). Say I buy Moto Droid, but would like to stay with Sprint. Are there any technical reasons it cannot be done??? Just legal issues?? (T-Mo openly encourages iphone use on thei network). Can Sprint CS activate Verizon phone if they would want??

Thanks

Mike
