There is so much wrong here. I don't know what to say.
I had to read it 3 times to get it.
But yeah, the spending limit might auto trigger that shut off. Once that's gone, you'll be better off.
And your "pop" & his end of that deal ...well... I'd chime in but I'm no Dr. Phil.

According to DSLReports http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/...Unlimited-Data-Loophole-Exposed-Closed-117668
Those of us who acquired unlimited data though the MHS loophole might be reverted to tiered plans.
Let's not debate who did this and right versus wrong, I would like to know who has been reverted back to tiered. Please let us know here...

But if you see all the people who still have it versus those who lost it...then it can put the internet masses into perspective.
Like I mentioned elsewhere, I see a lack of evidence of people actually being reverted back other than that one article. Maybe he did something stupid like try to switch from a 4G to a 3G device and then lost his unlimited.
My rezound is coming Monday-- my buddy ordered it for me since I'm on his fam plan. He did it all online and claimed there was no choice to keep my unlimited plan from my Droid Incredible. He signed me up the for the 4 gb plan.. Any chance of me getting back my unlimited by going into a store and chatting w/ a sales rep once I have the phone in my hands? Or any other workarounds??

if you search, not only on this site but others then you will see the ratio of people still having it and those that got changed back are slim. There are threads that detail how to get it and if they still have it Here and here So if you want people to look through post after post of people saying they still have it, when he asked if people have actually got it reverted then ok, make people do more work. btw i love the forum ignore list

Arent you on grounds to terminate your contract if they do indeed change you ba k ? At end of the day, the csr did notify you about making the change and put unlimited in there knowingly. Its not like you hacked the system and did it. You asked for it, they said sure and you had it.

I pay my bill at a corporate sprint store I went in to pay my bill to have my phone turned back on and they had me do it at the kiosk because if they would have done it with there system it would take 2 to 3 days before it was posted but using the kiosk it takes 30 minutes to post. So if its not posted by the end of the third day I would call sprint and raise hell!
Do you have a debit/credit card?
Pay it online. I would never pay my bill in the store.
My opinion, people that pay their bill in the store are people that don't know how to manage their money well. Not saying that's you, but open a bank account and get a check card, pay it online. Easier to do, and it reflects on your account immediately.
yea buddy! i have a 2 year contract and i have 1 year left on it and sprint just sent me a letter saying i can early upgrade.. hells yea!! sweet! i think maybe its cause i have payed my bill 2 weeks early for the last year.. makes it look good u kno?? maybe not.. plus when i started my 2 years i started it with the evo 4g but i lost it and they sent me athe evo 3d cause they didt have any evo 4g's.. all i have to say is im super happy with sprint and im deff staying with them for a while good sh*t!!!! OK i just got off the phone with sprint to see how much it gona cost me to get the new lte.. they said i have to pay 165 to buy out my upgrade?? and i have 150 discount?? she coulnt tell me how much it was gona cost for me to get the lte?? so now i dont kno what to do.. i just need i number on how much i will have to puy out my pocket!!!! cant i sell my 3d back for some $$$ off the price also??

One yearly upgrade has been extended to all those affected by change, but only on main line. They have a 20 month cycle for upgrades now. My theory os ir has something to do with iPhone being more available to customers because this change went into effect shortly before launch un September.

I have an evo lte running cm 10 and am very happy with it. I am also eligible for an upgrade and was wondering what should I do with it. I was thinking get an iPhone 5 and Craigslist it to some poor isheep for a cool $450ish profit. Or wait for the Galaxy Note II, and sell that one? I think the iPhone would bring better profit. You guys have any ideas?

Yup. If you're getting a device just to sell...go this route.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I think your logic is flawed here. You get the upgrade by signing a contract. So let's say you do this and get the iPhone 5 and sell it for 500 bux. You get you supposed cash for ****s and giggles or to get a new device, that's cool too. Now what happens when a surprise must have device drops in four months. You've spent your money and now are also still locked into contract. Person who bought you iPhone 5 made out like a bandit while your stuck with **** all.
My advice, upgrade to the phone you want or buy your phone outright and get off contracts. Don't let some shmuck on CL make out with deal cuz you want a little party cash.
My $0.02 anyways.

Never buy a phone subsidized unless you totally have to.. Screw 2 year contracts, I'll pay full price please.

I would also get the Note 2, but I thought that you had to keep the phone activated on the line you are upgrading for at least 90 days... might want to check on that... I have two lines and they have different upgrade times, so I thought I could basically have an upgrade each year by alternating but they told me that the phone has to be activated on the line for 90 days... maybe it was just a rep having a bad day...

Im interested in the answer here as well. The only way I can find to make it cheaper is to go T-Mobile on their $30 monthly plan - http://goo.gl/dNLll
It gets pretty cheap compared to your base sprint plan pretty quick going that route.
Are there other options there I am missing?

Nope it's at least this long. Bill paid on time etc... Our they can go after you for the full price of the phone.. best thing to do is call and ask or actually read the policy on a subsidized phone..

Not true, they may tell you this at sprint but as long as you activate a new or upgraded phone on the line its supposed to go on you can immediately call back n switch it to another line or off lines. I've done it dozens of times. As long as a phone stays on the line your good, only has to be new phone for a sec to trip the account.
Wait for the new Nexus.

Just my personal belief in not signing a 2 year contract to use a service. I can walk away at any time in those 2 years and not be stuck with an ETA and can also come back as I please. Also you pay a high premium for that phone when it's subsidized.
I just feel it's better to have the option to leave when/if you want.. Guess I shouldn't have said "Never" as I was pushing my thoughts on people. I should have worded it a little different. If you can avoid to purchase the phone full price that's the way to go so you're not locked in and locked down for 2 years.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
You pay for that subsidy every month in your bill. Might as well use it.

Keep your upgrade until the next time you want to upgrade...so maybe this coming summer or even wait 2 years to get something that's way better than the evo 4g lte...I don't think anything that comes out by summer 2013 will be leaps and bounds better than the evo 4g lte
Ok guys i have been off contract with sprint for like 6 months and I've bought every EVO (Flagships) since the OG. What I exactly is the benefit of buying retail? I remember buying the 3d for $200 like 4 months after release and I bought LTEVO release day for $608 with body glove. The HTCO is an inferior device imo because I know s800 EVO or beast is coming but LTEVO land is pretty much dead. I may be forced to get The One because all the devs are migrating there... So I'm stuck.
***I Just Woke Up... Tell Me Where The Drugs At***
Not dead here man. Not everyone is bouncing to the One. HTCO is not inferior cause s800 won't be out until the end of the year, probably the Verizon "One" will get it but not Sprint, ATT and T-Mo. Sprint lets you upgrade every 18 months nowadays, not as good as 1 yr with Premier but still better than 22 months like the competition.

I remember buying the 3d for $200 like 4 months after release and I bought LTEVO release day for $608 with body glove. The HTCO is an inferior device imo because I know s800 EVO or beast is coming but LTEVO land is pretty much dead. I may be forced to get The One because all the devs are migrating there... So I'm stuck.

Dead?.........
Theres like 4 teams working together on sense 5 right now, Jamie just dropped liquid and updated pac, nin still has digital bath and wild for the night with dastin, theres evervolv, cm 10, operation jelly, rootbox, meanbean, thick chad g and flar are all still building kernels, super jelly, viper4g, omj's rom, and others im definitely forgetting and theyre all being actively updated except meanbean.
I hate when people make comments like that when their only contrbutions are discussion and picture posting threads..
+1 for youdug. Development for this device is in high gear. There are a ton of roms in active development, both Sense and AOSP. You want to see a dead phone? Head over to the Optimus G forums. There's nothing going on there despite being a higher-specced phone.

Well maybe dead was too strong, but idk... I just don't have the motivation. Since Virus left and now Mikey I'm just sitting on Viper. The Sense 5 looks nice, but I rarely flash ports. CMX and all the others AOSP roms are nice... PAC has my interest most, but sound quality kept me from CMX.1 again. I can't stand not having the latest and greatest either. I want the One, but S600 just can't compare with the big beasts like T4 and S800 eventho they aren't released.
Could someone tell me the benefit of buying retail tho?
FYI... I may not have contributed much to android, but I'm a recognized Dev/Hacker elsewhere. Lets not forget transcendent mugen GOD

I dont see a benefit. If youre gonna be with sprint for the next two years i say take the subsidized price and sign the contract. You can always cancel later and pay the etf and youll still save $100+.

Yeah youd lose both. But if you sign right back up with them im not sure if you could just get the number back or if it goes into a hold state for an amount of time. Idk. Im sayin if youre gonna be with sprint for the forseeable future why not just get the discounted phone. Do you plan on jumping to att, verizon, or tmobile? You can always buy retail while youre on contract so why not take the contract and get a phone cheaper if youre gonna stay with sprint anyway.

port the number to another carrier before you cancel, that way you don't lose your number

I see no benefit to buying retail. I'm not even gonna comment on "dead" forum.
Maybe T-Mobile might be worth looking at if they have decent coverage in your area. You can get the HTCO for $100 without signing up for 2 years . I know you pay $20 a month but still seems like a good deal .
Regarding S800. I'm sure its a beast but how much more computing power do you need when you look at the ONE's benchmarks. 12k on quadrant or something ridiculous like that

Does it really matter that the s800 or whatever has better specs? Android)/apps won't be optimized to use it for a long time and its not like you're going to be compiling code on your phone.

The reason I don't want to be on contract is just because how this economy is... Yes I work a good job now, but what happens if I fall on hard times and can't afford the bill? I don't want to be in debt because sprint 4g blankets my house.

If your LTE works why not keep it for another year? That would be the least risky thing to do

I just can't be on a device with dated hardware lol. Seeing as how the One is a qual device... Its sure to get s-off, so I may wait a month or two and get it on craigslist

So here's the guy who's been "bragging", ' I buy off contract', going, "wait, maybe that wasn't smart'? ?
Am I missing something?

Just was evaluating plans on T-Mobile etc and thought about my last decisions regarding phones. I don't think I'm really saving anything with Sprint . 4G in my area is good, 3G still blows, but I kinda feel like it'd be a mistake to shell out $700 this time.
