Long story short, I’ve finally gotten a Power Vision capable phone and would love to use it, for Sprint Radio/Music mainly, though I’m sure WAP browsing would be handy. I’ve already emailed E-care through 3 exchanges already but I’m wondering if what they said is really the end-all be-all. PV Access was offered for $10 (off of $15), but that was after I first asked about getting PV Ultimate at a discount. I then mentioned that it would be nice to get the PV Music pack instead, but they have only quoted the regular price for Ultimate ($25) and Music ($20).

If possible, I would like to get the Music pack knocked down to $10. Is this remotely possible, through credits or something? For some extra info, the account I’m on is on Ensemble, and both phones there have been out of contract for a few years (and I would like to keep it that way). The last time I contacted E-care was about two years ago to ask about free text messages, and they did that fine (500 free). Also, the account has been active and in good-standing for nearly a decade (I think) and the monthly bill already is approaching $100, which is why I don’t want to pay even more unless necessary.

Has anyone gotten TEP for free (or discounted) or a charge and then a credit?

Is it possible, or is it two different companies?

I wanted to add TEP but was wondering if its worth trying to get it for less (been w/ sprint for 10yrs).

Thank u

Just got a large black 2-page postcard from Sprint on Tuesday, Feb 26, 2008. It states that I’m eligible for a $300 credit towards the purchase of a new phone on each line or get two free months of credit for each line. I choose the $300 credit phone upgrade option. The card had 2 types of phones to choose from: a cheap Free Samsung flip-phone or a $99 Palm Centro PDA phone. I forgot to ask if I could get a different phone that was not shown on the card, but I’m pretty sure I could of. I was just excited to see if I could still get this offer and sell some of the Rumors that I just got in December and also sell some of the new Centros that I will be receiving. I plan to keep the 2 HTC Touch phones for sure.

My question is: Under the small fine prints, it states that to qualify for this offer, no plan changes were made, no contracts were just renewed(forgot the rest since I left the Spring Postcard at work) since Nov 2007 and I renewed my contract in Dec 2007. When I called in, number on the card, the sprint rep didn’t check or notice that I just renewed recently and told me that I can get 6 new Centros with no problems except that I just need to agree to a new 2-year contract. I have no problems with that since I’m only 2 months into my new contract. He went ahead and put the order in and said that we were done. Later, he called me back stating that he couldn’t get the computer to take the order and stated that he would have to get Telesales to order them for me and then he will personally apply the credits onto the account. I did get his Name, ID, Phone #, and Dept in case my phone bill doesn’t look right. I called back and talked to a different Sprint Rep in the same Dept and he verified that the order was placed.

You think that Sprint will pick up on this and force me to send the phones back? Since I agreed to a New 2-Year Contract, the phones are mine to do whatever I want with them, correct??? Do I have to activate them or can I just activate some and sell the rest? I know that it’s probably best to wait until I get my bill, but I would like to get some money out of the Centros to pay for my upcoming bill, $600(6 centros) + regular monthly bill(100). Should I call back and verify again??? I’m afraid that if I call back too many times, someone will figure out what happened and either charge me full price on these phones($400 each) or asked me to send all 6 phones back.

Any suggestions or input would be appreciated. Sorry if I sound greedy, but I only did this thinking it was a Slick Deal. :tu:

After porting that number out (automatically cancelling my old account) I’d port it back into my NEW account.

*This is what I’ve read and is also what my brother did when he opened up his SERO account.

So… Good NEWS to those who are still unaware of this next portion:

- it IS possible to port your number to your new phone WITHOUT transferring out to a go phone.

- I talked with an account manager (not a regular rep) about doing so and she said it was possible. While talking to her I tried to turn on my headset (because i was at work) and got disconnected.

- I called back in trying to find someone to do it for me and literally ended up talking to at least 8 different representatives that said it IMPOSSIBLE.

- I finally got a representative who would do it for me and when I asked him afterwards why everyone said it was not possible, he said that its probably because this particular procedure is rather complicated.

SO! You just have to find a rep that is capable of doing it.

*note, talk to an actual account manager and not just a regular rep

HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL

Because of my job, I go to Europe fairly often. I know, and have tried many times, the process of getting an unlocked phone and using a prepaid provider and SIM while overseas. But I have decided it would be less trouble and more convenient, even if more expensive, to use my own phone number while overseas. My problem is, although I have been an over 3 year Sprint customer with good payment history, Sprint will not activate my SIM card for use overseas. I am not in the correct credit class. My question is: if I called Retentions saying I will cancel with Sprint and go with another provider unless they let me activate my SIM, will they do it? I’d appreciate it if a Sprint REP would chime in and let me know, if there is one reading this.

And before you waste your time, I KNOW that I can use a prepaid SIM; I have done it before. I KNOW its cheaper but I’d rather have my own number. I hate to be rude, but I already know about the prepaid route.

Thanks!!

4 of the lines are out of contract, 1 of the lines has a contract for one more year.

The one with one more year, I don’t need that number anymore. Is it possible to flip numbers around (i.e. put number of line w/ one more year left on it on a line out of contract so I can cancel it)

thanks
