teamdest posted:Not to intrude on your PRL-hacking discussion and whatnot, but I'm kind of wondering about the data cap on Sprint. after 5GB on 3G is additional data throttled, or charged extra, or shut off, or something else entirely? If you repeatedly use a large amount of data they send you a letter asking you to use less otherwise they will terminate your contact. This is fairly rare.

StickFigs posted:I'm trying to sell this Sprint phone I got on eBay and everyone keeps asking me if it has a clean ESN. How do I find out? Do I send them some sort of code off my phone so they can check for themselves? Is it safe to send them this information? Just see if sprint can swap it onto your line. Then swap it back off. No need to turn it on or activate it during the process.

Lblitzer posted:No, I had made one payment to the debt collector back in September for much less than what I owe. OK so that settles the collections dispute but does not make your sprint account paid in full. They just won't come after you for the remaining balance. To use sprint again you would have to pay off the remainder of what is still owed to them.

Valithan posted:gently caress. I just dropped my evo and it blew apart; after 13 months of ownership the first time I drop the phone it blows apart. I put it back together and it's working fine, however the case in the upper corner near the headphone jacked is hosed and the case won't close completely. I can't really afford to buy a new phone: has anyone had any success wheeling deals out of sprint customer service as far as waving the contract cancellation fee if you're going to sign for a new contract anyway? I'm on the EPRP plan so I'm paying ~$70 a month for unlimited data, I think I may downgrade to a regular old phone that I'm not afraid of dropping. Anyone have any experience? Not really sure on the answer your specific question, but you can buy a replacement housing for around 40 bucks.

It must have been some 3rd party store doing something. I've never in my time as a customer and as an employee seen a sprint promotion for upgrading early (other than primier). I've seen forced upgrades because someone's device was so old it no longer functioned with the current network technology.

Duckman2008 posted:Its a glitch, it will always error out in the end. Sero is completely removed from sprints systems far as I know, so like other grandfathered plans there is no way to create the account, even if its someone who accidentally lost the plan. There is only one way to get onto sero and that is to be on an account for employees and their family (SWAC) and then move off it. Sero is technically the "Severing Employee Retention Offer" https://www.sprint.com/webconversionform/index.html

The Entire Universe posted:Wow, more like the worst salesguy in existence. "You're looking for that? gently caress that, it's poo poo. What you want is this other thing that isn't anything like what you're looking for and has nothing special above the basics you want in a phone. You should get it for that reason." Some sales people only know how to sell one thing moderately well. It's one thing to make a recommendation based on qualitative questions but you should never talk down about a product.

Sprint has always just ate the cost when they did work under the manufacturers warranty. They have decided to no longer to eat that full cost and you can now either contact the manufacturer or pay sprint.

That means that every major new phone on Sprint for 3 years run has been called EVO and has had a lower number than the previous year. The galaxy S and SII were major new phones.

Ptrexitus is correct with the normal process of a cancellation. It pretty much always goes through the end of the billing cycle. The rep may have been smart enough to utilize the dummy esn tool to swap an esn with no phone attached onto the account.

Vykk.Draygo posted:The international S3 hasn't even been revealed yet. It would be months before the Sprint version would be released, if there even is a Sprint version. The assumed justification for pushing back the announcement date was to shorten the time between announcement and release. It's also been assumed that due to the overall international success of the galaxy line that Samsung would be launching the phone simultaneously in multiple markets. With the announcement set to be made on May 3rd its quite conceivable that the GS3 will be for sale in the US before Sprint even launches the Galaxy Nexus. I worry that Sprint may skip the initial offering to let the Nexus hold the spotlight for a little longer.

I'm kind of confused over the number of people jumping on the galaxy nexus bandwagon with the S3 announcement so close. I'm not saying it will hands down be a better phone, but it is probably worth seeing before making a decision.

Mr Pepper posted:The wife and I have a family plan and we are going to finally upgrade to smartphones. My upgrade comes in 2 days and the wife's comes in 32 days. If I upgrade in 2 days and sign a new 2 year contract to get the discount on the new evo phone, will it screw her out of her upgrade or will she also get a discount at the same time or am I better off waiting the 32 days for both of us? Contracts are by line not by account. When you upgrade your line never has any impact on when she can upgrade hers. The only time someone getting a new phone screws someone else out of an upgrade is if you intentionally use theirs when you aren't eligible.

There is support specifically for these special plans.

blargle posted:I noticed the Sprint Galaxy S3 has LTE 1900, while the Verizon version has the better LTE 750. I had thought Sprint was getting a chunk of the low frequency spectrum? Or is it just the S3 that won't be able to use it? This seems to imply you won't be able to roam on LTE. Sprint has had a chunk of low frequency for a long time. It's currently in use by iden (nextel) devices and I believe some new cdma devices. I wouldn't expect to see any lte device on those bands until late next year.
