I currently have a TP2 on the SERO $30 plan. My phone is starting to die...is there something like a TP3 I should get, or is this the end of the line? Should I just wait for the iphone...how much would that add to my plan(10+10?)

If they grandfather you into the discount then it's not a change...if they don't then it absolutly is. I'm always surprised that they don't just make a change going forward. To retroactivly change your contract like that seems like it shouldn't even be possible without redress, otherwise what's to stop them from just saying that your plan now has a $25 gently caress you fee, the monthly rate is doubled, and the ETF is now $1,000.

Does the upgrade only give you $150 off, or is there a way to get more? I remember that you used to be able to call and get additional credits for reupping making a phone cost the same as if you were a new customer.

Q_res posted:I've had mine for over 6 months, never used a screen protector, and I'm fairly careless as far as what I put it in my pocket with. Not a single scratch so far, I even accidentally dropped it once or twice. The screen is sturdy as hell, I can't imagine what you'd have to do to it to scratch it. Well there are scrathces like huge cracks, and then there are scratches that can only be seen with a pen light at an angle. I'm guessing people are using different definitions depending on the level of analness.

If they are willing to eat the ETFs, I can see them doing this. VVVV If you are worried about cancelling the SERO before they change your account to avoid the ETF, there is NO way you would be hit with an ETF for cancelling if they move you in middle of an existing contract.

Robo Kitty posted:I think I missed something here. Does the new wording in the contract indicate they are canceling SERO and will be moving everyone to higher rate plans? Or just that they now reserve the right to do so such that they no longer give us a way to cancel without getting billed for ETF? quote:If you lose your eligibility for a particular rate plan or if a particular rate plan is no longer supported or available, we may change your rate plan to one for which you qualify. I personally think they are adding this in as a CYA. There is no way they would get away with changing your plan mid-contract and expect the contract to still be valid.

Yeah, if they push too far, the whole contract become unenforceable and they get into a world of poo poo. Also, there is no way they would win in either a civil lawsuit or in arbitration. In fact, they would never let it get that far, and have caved for much less. I am almost 100% sure this is to limit their liability so you can't sue when they don't allow you to continue your plan after the end of the contract (loss productivity, poo poo like that). Hell, this change might not even be enough to stop a class action anyway, but I can see the reasoning.

The Entire Universe posted:It wasn't an edit, they put in an entire new section effectively asserting the right to trample all over the FDCPA on the basis that you "consented" in the contract to being contacted at Sprint's convenience using any contact method they have on hand and deem fit. Funny, Chrysler Financial thought the same thing up until the $4000 judgment I won against them.

td4guy posted:EbolaIvory is right. Yeah, I just grabbed an Iphone 5s off of the Sprint site, and it kept telling me that I wouldn't be able to acitvate unless I changed my plan, but when I grabed the Iphone 4S 2 years ago, it said the exact same thing and all it took was a phone call to get it up and running. I'm assuming this will be the same. If not, I'll just flip the 5S and keept the 4S because I really dont give a poo poo.

CrashCat posted:Surprise surprise, I got a postcard that my rebate on the Nexus 5 preorder was denied. In-loving-credible. Both of the invalid conditions on here are valid, and both should be handled by their stupid loving web page in the first place. I had to get the 2 year contract to get the upgrade discount, and their webpage still says today that there's a $50 rebate for the Nexus 5, so I know the device is correct. If you paid with a credit card, I would escalate with them ASAP before it becomes too late. I've gotten rebates refunded directly to a credit card before when I was hosed in a similar manner.

Blakkout posted:I'm on SERO premium and am eligible for an upgrade. When I browse through Sprint's phones online though, I can only see discounted priced when I have an option selected to renew under a new 2-year deal. I was under the impression that they wouldn't renew any SERO contracts, so am I only able to get the upgrade discount if I give up on my current SERO plan? I'm pretty sure I've successfully upgraded in the past without doing so, but I can't seem to figure this out. Where did you hear that? SERO upgrades like every other plan.

Vykk.Draygo posted:He just told you why. If you switch plans, you will pay $480 for your iPhone instead of $199 (assuming that you are currently eligible for an upgrade). However, you won't be on a contract so if you plan to leave Sprint in the next several months, it would probably cost about the same. Is that 480 confirmed? I'm seeing much higher numbers for Iphone 6.

I'm tired of my phone not working right. Do I have any recourse other than buying a new phone? Any way I could get Sprint to replace my phone even though I've had it this long? Or maybe you guys know a way to fix the problems I'm having? Make sure to get the maple syrup plan, I hear it's the sweetest deal.

FlyingCheese posted:There was a sprint rep that posted his ID number on his blog a couple years ago, you could use it to get on the EPRP plan. I'm still on that plan (until my T-Mobile nexus 6 arrives anyway). There was even a goon in this very thread that did the same thing. I believe they got something for having as many people join under their name, it was encouraged by sprint at one time. My wife has this plan and they call it SERO. I have the old SERO plan from when it was first introduced, so it becomes a bit confusing.

Yeah, I pay $58 after fees and taxes for unlimited data and 500 minutes with an IPhone...I haven't found anything touching that and I've looked. For the last couple of years, service was absolutly terrible as they were upgrading, but I'm getting pretty good now, so I feel like I earned this., Looking through my speedtest results, two years ago 21K/49K which was average (20-40) and terrible. One year ago 515K/100K, which is better, but still slow. Today 2679K/759K. It's like night and day. If it didn't improve, I would have left.

bigpolar posted:Aren't the base plans $30 and $50, then the data add ons are on top of that? I think it is a $10 premium phone charge and a $10 4g charge, but I don't remember exactly how they break it down. No, the old plan was $30. Then the new phones at the time required an upgrade to the 40$ plan. Then almost immediately, the new new phones required a $10 data plan, so your options were $30 poo poo tier phone, like one phone that was $40 that didn't include the data plan, and then everything else that was $40 + 10.

Early update for Sprint likely means they put you on a lease plan. They have been kinda sketchy about it lately, so be careful.

Dr. Fishopolis posted:Unless you're on SERO, why on earth would you want to keep upgrade pricing? It is and always has been a ripoff. Is this because of the plan pricing, or the upgrades? I ask because I've upgraded every two years and haven't had to pay more than $50 dollars for a phone since the Iphone 4. In fact, the 5s to 6s is going to cost me $30. The leasing seems like a huge loving ripoff.
