So wait let me get this straight, you are mad at Sprint for not paying a bill? Pay the damn bill and move on with your life. You are bringing this on yourself. Put yourself in their position, if someone not a family or friend that owed you $30+ dollars, you wouldn't care? HA!!! you would be b1tching and moaning too. Grow a pair and pay up.
I see a GO phone in your future.......just sayin'
I'm not on pre-paid services. Im on a 2 yr. Contract.My credit is on the line.
So why am I being treated
Like I'm on pre paid services.?
*edit* and im sure a "GO" phone gets better internet speeds. So it doesn't seem like a bad idea.

ive never had a lick of problems with my photon, speeds occasionally suck but thats gonna be with any phone. so what do you want?

its not over 30 bucks, i assure you i have had buddies who have missed entire months of payments and paid the next month double and been fine, what it sounds like to me is you are 30 dollars over your spending limit program and they are going to shut off your stuff.
the point of teh two year contract is to subsidize the cost of a phone by ensuring you will play along for 2 years.

No,idk about...i tried asking about that...my spending limit is 150.... My regular bill is usually around $90 but I had got the photon beginning of april, so they added $36 for activation fee.
Which brings me close to my spending limit but not over. I paid $100 the other day. Not the full amount.yes I know that but why try to shut off my services over $30.
But I'm glad so many people love sprint and their services. I for one am not happy with it but I still pay them.

I have not missed a payment. just didnt pay the full amount, which was $30 from may 2nd. New bill cycle is on the 8th. But isn't due till june 2nd. So that makes jun2nd bill like $120. Spending limit not reached.

Spending limit? What is that? I have had $1,000+ monthly bills (always paid on time) and never had my service threatened.
If you didn't pay the full amount I can see why they would shut off your service. Not everything is free buddy. Grow up and be responsible for your actions. Stop *****ing like a little kid.

So I am about to be 14 days in my Verizon contract and they are charging me these hidden fees called Verizon fees and its like $13 a line so in total my bill come to like 180 something with my 19% discount without it was supposed to be 220
But when I did the quote online it was 137 without taxes and my discount included
180 without taxes and no discount
So do the math and this is not including the activation.

Agreed, I've only ever run into issues when changing plans and then they prorate the service. Haven't had that issue in years though I'm sure it's still a problem.

I just checked my first bill and besides hitting me with all possible kinds of fees (chicago 911 fee wtf?) my monthly access charges are almost $20 more than what verizon web site shows when shopping for a new plan!
I'm having 2 browsers open side by side as we speak and my bill shows $239.94 monthly access charge while verizon store shows 223.95!
for this very reason I switched from sprint years ago! I'll call customer service and try to work something out, but if they think we're all saps they're sooo wrong! I'll be back with T-mobile in no time and I'll make sure all of my friends know who's the best wireless provider! I've never had issues like this with T-mobile!

Your first bill is always WAY higher than it will normally be. Not only do you have those government taxes that EVERY cell network has to charge in your area, but you have your 35.00 activation fees, as well as most peoples first bill has a full month and a partial month of access fess. Then you have your taxes on top of that which are also higher than normal since they are the taxes on the entire bill. If you went to a store you should have gotten a first bill estimation page with all your paper work. I know the in store reps are required to print one and go over it with every customer so they know what to expect on the first bill and dont act exactly like this.

He is part of the solution as far as I am concerned. The ETF fees are filled with greed and are only a tool to hold people hostage. If there are ways to use their contracts against them, I am all for it. What he is doing is NOT illegal. I would argue that the steady stream of contract changes that we get sucked into by default are deceptive and low on the part of sprint.
PLUS... if he gets out, that is one less customer we have to worry about on our data stream... (assuming he would have been using it if there wasn't this other out option).

Let's take this one at a time:
1) ETF's are not a way for companies to use contracts against the customer. You sign a contract because you don't want to pay $600 for a new phone. You're more than welcome to buy the phone at full price and only use month to month if you want, thereby negating the need for any contract to get involved. Don't feel like paying full price for the phone, either? Well, then you're **** out of luck.
2)No, he is not part of the solution. By him skirting his ETF, he basically paid $200 for a phone, and then is getting out of his contract ETF-free, basically making Sprint lose money on their sale of that device.
3) While it does mean one less person on the data stream, freeing up precious bandwidth for the rest of us, it is also one less customer for Sprint. One less paying customer mind you. If too many people do this, Sprint is going to have to make changes to make money, and you know what will be the next thing to go? Say goodbye to your unlimited data.
So, it's one of two ways. Either buy your phones at full price without contract, or pony up the ETF if you want to leave. Don't **** it up for the rest of us, asshole.

they won't boot you right away. It usually takes a few Billing cycles. I can see sprint eventually just charging the balls out of people you use that prl somehow.
I tried that prl a couple months ago when I needed to stream some video one evening. I must not have hit "commit changes" when changing back to 21081, and I stayed on it for over a month, using 6ish gigs of data. I have not yet heard anything from them about it luckily.

I used the 00001 prl this past week . I was in SC where apparently sprint decided "Eh we dont need any towers out here let Verizon cover it" I got tired of the phone constantly struggling for signal I just downloaded the PRL and flashed it on the phone to stabalize it some what .I mean hell the phone was going to be roaming anyways might as well give it the tower listings to get the best out of the signal I had access to . In my eyes thats Sprints issue not mine . They said they had the coverage well apparently they dont so they can chow down on the roaming charges . Maybe if they pay enough roaming charges they might get a bright idea to put a tower up in the area I was in .
Thanks for the heads up, just flashed mine and works great

Tell me there isnt something wrong with this picture . As much as I hate to say it , all the more reason for my future transition back to Verizon . Yeah they cost alittle more but you get faster access and better coverage .
Flash 00001. Sync dropbox files back and forth from phone to DB then delete all of dropbox then do it again.. you should get your account suspended within about 5 gigs. Go sync the entire repo for ICS and then delete it and do it again. Maybe get a torrent or 9 while its going. WiFi tether everywhere for everyone. Open network with androidAP changed to maybe free internet for all. All on roaming. Sprint will drop u like a tweaker drops his rocks at the smell of bacon.

To be fair, not true.

They really are getting out of hand with this already. Granted they have the best service by far, especially for me coming from Sprint, who had no 4g at all here, but come on already. Opinions seem to indicate that this is a result of people paying late, and Verizon is trying to force them to enroll in autopay, but come on. If someone's more than a day or two late, turn their phone off. Don't punish everyone for the actions of a few.

I have never been late, my first year I didn't want to be late because I didn't want to be screwed and lose my deposit, lol.
I heard this a few days ago. It really seems crazy to me, but this decision was far above my pay grade. I have auto payment set up so it doesn't matter to me, but still seems a bit much. One thing I did see though, and we will see if it is true when this rolls out, but if you have auto payment you can pay early with a different payment method and it will not take out of the account you have set up for automatic payment or charge the fee. Again, we will see if it really is that way once this rolls out.
Makes a lot of sense, the one method that must cost Verizon the most manpower to process, that's the free method. I understand that they have to make money, but it's far less insulting to just jack up the bill by 2 dollars and say "look, we need more revenue". Rather than say "hey, the two ways that we've been trying to encourage you to pay for the last few years is now going to cost you unless you give us unrestricted access to your credit card or bank accounts, but hey that really inconvenient and wasteful method is still free". Right, so when there's a billing error or some other problem with charges, they can take the money regardless and then you can fight with them to get it back if you're lucky. No thanks.

If they force this autodraft restriction it will cause me to overdraft my account as most autopay scenarios take the money out 3-5 days before the bill is due. I've already had Verizon move my billing date up once, I doubt they will do it again. This is just wrong of them.

I called T-Mobile and asked for retentions and told them I needed a good deal on the Amaze without a rebate. They gave it to me for ~ $250 w/ tax, no rebate, waived shipping charges, and gave me a $120 statement credit (about one month of service on my family plan). It pays to ask!
They also told me I could keep my $25/mo 5GB 3G data plan, but I see on the website that I now have the $30 data plan. I'll complain but I doubt I'll get very far on that one...
I'm really excited about replacing my N1!
Wow. That is a good deal.
T-mobile retention, I better write a note about it for my 2013 renewal
I'm a former employee. Here's a trick. If you want to get a new phone and you've had T-Mobile for a long time, then do this. Call them and complain how your phone is a piece of sh*t and how it reboots itself and what not. Threaten to go to another carrier because their flagship phones kicks T-Mobile's phones ass and you don't mind paying the ETF (Early Termination Fee / Cancellation Fee). They'll transfer you to Customer Loyalty. Tell them your phone sucks and you will go to another carrier. They'll give you an awesome discount on the phone.

Smh if you were an employee I'm glad your not anymore. Thats not the right way to go about getting a deal guys, customer loyalty is great if your contract is close to ending because we will do the most we can to help you 6 months or less is best and its more helpful when you have more then one line because we can use more things to give you a better deal. You don't have to be pissed off or have an issue with your phone, you are a benefit to the company and we are there to help you anyway we can, and don't be surprised if we can't beat deals from costco, walmart, wirefly a lot of times on single lines sometimes even just on family plans they have real good deals.

I honestly don't feel that it takes any tricks or lying and threats.
I've been with Tmobile for 7 years and I've upgrade plenty of phones either free or at a discount.
The only thing you need to do is be polite and be patient.
I've always found the reps willing to go the distance as long as I'm patient and as long as I have the nerve to ask.
Don't be afraid to ask for an upgrade.
Don't be afraid to ask for a different phone when you do a warranty exchange.
9 out of 10 times they won't make you an offer on their own.
And this leads people to believe that they should threaten to cancel or complain and throw a fit to get these deals the reps don't offer.
First off, that just makes you look childish.
And who knows if they make a note of that on your account or not?
I just ask them when I want something. If that rep can't help me they'll pass me along the CoC or I call back. No biggie.
Try it, give them a call and say
"Hey...so I just saw this new phone that I really want to get but I don't qualify for an upgrade yet...is there anything you guys can do for me?"
I have four voice lines and a MBB line. I've never had an issue getting a (slightly) early upgrade or some kind of deal. I always treat CSRs the same way I like to be treated (kindly, with respect and patience). I've gotten really good deals with T-Mobile.
Wasn't me!! I didn't do it!
Someone on CL texted me recently asking if I wanted to trade my 3VO for an Optimus V that was hacked to never receive a bill. I didn't ask how, simply "No thanks" however this doesn't seem possible or legal. Should I do anything or just ignore this person?

I remember an old, old hack for a Phillips Savvy that with a bit of solder you could hack it to each reboot be reloaded with £10 credit... I wonder if anyone is still using those phones - I think I have one in my loft somewhere with a bunch of other phones.
but no - I agree doesn't sound legal at all.
He's most likely full of it, but it would definitely be illegal lol. I wouldn't do much more than passing any information you have on him to his carrier.

lol, I think you could say a phone with a blacklisted ESN is hacked to never receive a bill.
I used to live at an apartment where for some reason the cable company used to never charge me for paid on demand movies/events.
Suckers.
Maybe he would take your address and email address from your evo 3d and use that information to steal your mail to make sure that you never recieve a bill again.
lol some good responses. I was in a rush to get to work when I got the text messages so when things calmed down it hit me - a contract is a contract you will always have a bill until it ends/cancels.
To me the guy is just a joke but I'm sure to less tech savvy people he's causing problems.
This is the cell phone equivalent of the Hollywood Juice Diet, those SpeedUpMyPC.com ads on TV, and this year's GOP debates. You want to think it'd be a good deal, but you'll end up get taken in the end. ...and hopefully that's the only thing that'll happen to your "end"...

I got away with this for almost 3 years except it was that the complex once supplied cable to the residents but they cancelled doing it. However, Comcast forgot to come out and disconnect it...for three whole years lol. Came home from work one day and there were green letters on every door in the complex and I knew what it was before I even got out of the car.

Don't knock on speedupmypc.com! It only cost me 2 payments and it made my internet go faster! Now I can check my email 'blazing fast'
But seriously, I love how in those commercials, every person is over the age of 45, simply because no one under the age of 30 is stupid enough to buy into it. Appeal to the 50+ demographic, speedupmypc.com, kudos to you.

This reminds me. When I first got Sprint it was with a SERO account. I ordered a phone (Mogul) and they accidently sent me 2 but only charged me for one. I called Sprint and they had no idea what was going on but told me to send one back. So I sent one back. The next month I realized they put a $200 credit on my account. I called them back and told them what happened and even explained my theory about them refunding me for the phone I returned. The CSR assured me they would fix it. They never did. SERO was about $30/month so I ended up with like half a yr of free services. I'm still with Sprint and SERO.

This happened to me.. sort of. I ordered an a900 through the phone. Got desperate, called and canceled it and got it at the store. Then got one in the mail afterwards. Never called or got charged. Activated it after one of them got really damaged. And they said nothing...

Ok here are to more stories...
I before I lived in the apartment where comcast didn't charge me for paid on demand, I lived at another apartment and came home to a letter from comcast explaining up to that day I was receiving service by mistake so they disconnected it. I was living there for like a year and a half. I was the sucker that time.
Another time I got fired from Wells Fargo so the manager made a credit(bank lingo) and paid for the hours of that pay period. About a week later, I get a direct deposit for the same amount from them. Then I closed my account. Suckers.
