It doesn’t matter how quickly or slowly I punch in the digits.

It doesn’t matter if I manually punch in the digits or they are stored (with the appropriate pauses) in the phone entry. It always fails….

… until I reach over and turn off my Airave. Then I re-dial, and it works perfectly. Every time, replicated 8 times today so far, with both stored-in-the-number-with-pauses attempts and manually entering the code.

It is driving me crazy.

Using a BB curve, if that makes a difference.

the old phone can no longer dial out when i try it says that the account cant be verified or something like that. when i try the internet it still works. it has been over 24 hours since the esn swap. i dont really want to call and tell sprint about this. has anyone heard of such a thing before? they cant really hold me responsible for a phone i took off their service right? (im sure they would try)

OK…so 2 years ago I had been out of contract FOREVER and researched here and slickdeals and then I tried and tried to get the SERO plan. I am NOT a good negotiator for myself. Couldn’t do it BUT I ended up pretty happy with my plan overall[listed below].

So now I didn’t realize my contract was up until my bill suddenly shows a $10 increase…I call and find out that the credits that were waived every month was now being charged back.

So I tried to call once. Had to end call and said I’d call back. Then I tried to chat. That was a JOKE. So now I’m going to call retention which I KNEW I should have done in the first place. But really I’m a WIMP.

So I know I’m up for $150 credit for a phone [that’s what my chat guy told me].

I want a free phone…nothing too fancy just maybe a rant or something mid-line [like to text].

And I want to pay what I was paying or something even better.

Here’s what my plan is:
750 Anytime Minutes
Unlimited Night & Weekend Minutes
Nights: M-Th 8PM-7AM Wknd: F 8PM-M 7AM
All Minutes Include Long Distance
Caller ID, Call WaitingThree-way Calling
Voicemail
Additional Anytime Minutes $.40 Per Min.
Monthly charge for service plan $40.0

Plan add-ons
International Calls Enabled Included
UNL Nights & Weekends at 7PM 5.00 [this was credited back]
Sprint Casual Data Included
Picture Mail Included
Sprint Data Plus Pack 10.00 [CREDITED BACK]
500 SMS MESSAGES Included
Long Distance Special Rate Included
F&F America Roaming Plan $5.00 [CREDITED BACK]
Unlimited Mobile To Mobile Min Included
Cellular Call Detail Included

I only paid about $46 per month after tax, etc. I don’t typically come close to using the minutes but I like knowing I can. I do enjoy texting but can’t imagine I do 500. I didn’t even realize I had internet free until several months ago but the screen is so small. But great for sending an email. LOL.

What is the data pack plus? By the way.

I guess I want to know how likely will I be to call retention and get what I want? The person I chatted with basically told me tough luck those add-ons expired.

Oh and I received a postcard saying if I renew by May 30 I can get a free month + before April 30 I get $15 additional credit.

The phone number for that was 1-866-363-9646

I should call retention directly correct? Anyone want to coach me? Thanks so much.

I hope to get this done. By the way my LG Fusic hasn’t had a ringer in a year. LOL. So I was really looking forward to getting a new phone. Just thought I’d be able to keep paying indefinitely like last time.

Been with sprint since mid 2005, on sero 500 plan with 15% Government discount. Account in good standing, payments always made early.

I switched to Verizon about a year ago from Sprint. Dont get me wrong, I LOVE verizon. But half of my friends just switched back to Sprint to get the new Nextel Curve or other sprint phones and ditched verizon. None of them can afford it anymore. All of my family has switched to Sprint. I figured I might as well. I was getting 30% with my employer which was saving me a ton of money. Well now my currently employer has discounts with sprint and not with verizon.

Ok enough of the rambling.

My ETF with verizon will be about $140. I found a blackberry curve new with contract on ebay from a respectable seller. I want to port over but I dont want to be without my phone for a few days (mom is recovering from Cancer surgery and I have to be reachable AT ALL TIMES). Am I able to sign up for a new line with sprint and after i receive the phone and activate it, port my number over from verizon.

I did calculations and will be saving a lot of money by doing the switch, even with ETF. I dont regret leaving sprint when I did, and I dont need a lecture from you guys and a "we were right." It was a better deal at the time, but the economy changed and now I gotta do what i gotta do to survive.

Is this possible?

When I had nextel I ordered a new phone from sprint and activated it and a week later ported my nextel number over. They allowed me to do this. Granted same comapny. Does sprint do this for others porting in? I have ported numbers before and as soon as they place the order it has started the port. Does it do this with the seller I order from online? Or will my phone with verizon be active until I receive the other phone?

Any help is much appreciated. I look forward to being part of the Sprint family again.
