If there had been any doubt... - Hero CDMA General

....in my mind about which phone I was going with next, sprint just made my decision a WHOLE lot easier. They just put up a brand-spankin' new 4G tower a block from my house. I think that should be close enough to get a clear signal, right?

Nice if you don't mind be asking where are you.

No towers near me (oakland county mi) and won't be buying a 4g phone until there is

Just so you know there is an extra $10 a month charge.

How can we find out where towers are?

-I'm in Round Rock, just north of Austin, Tx
-I might complain about paying sprint $80 per month IF I hadn't seen what Verizon gives you for $90. And on top of that, I'll be getting 4G, so I won't be complaining about any of it.
-in my case, I saw a dude in a truck, stopped to ask him what he was doing, and that is how i found out.

Friend, if $10 dollars is getting you 3 bottles of vodka, you need to upgrade your swill of choice

The stuff I drink will put hair on your chest, and then burn it off.

Lol, that's not a good quality in a vodka. Vodka is only 80 proof....at the most 100 proof. If you want real hair-raising spirits, come out to the Dewberry jam next spring, and I'll let you my friends 'shine. REAL moonshine, not the crap they sell in the stores. It tastes like 80 proof till it hits your stomach, and you better believe that a big mouth full of 180 proof HITS the stomach!

lol, $10 for 3 bottles of vodka? lol youre right, put hair in your chest from drinking it and your slobber will burn it off when you pass out. haha that thing has to be rough.

i dont really care too much about the 4g, i know its supposed to come to tampa soon in the next month or so (hopefully) but im getting the evo because of the phone that it is. I have wifi service wherever I go, whether at home or at school. I would rather not pay the extra 10 dollars and leave out the 4g seeing as how it also wastes more battery but not having a cap on usage is going to be nice as well. I intend on using the wifi tether on the road a lot...all in all i would still get the evo even if 4g wasnt coming to tampa. its a nasty phone and I cant wait to hold it in my hands come friday you should at least play with one after they come out...might change your mind

I didn't realize you had such a good sense of humor...
dont ask for much do you? With verizon comes the cellphone gestapo with charges for every service imaginable. and IMO ive had MUCH better signal with my sprint than my verizon phone.... BUT if you get 10 free EVOs then your the man! Goodluck.
good luck dude...
I'm doubting you'll get 10 free Evo's, so you'll probably go to Verizon and lose your 4G...
Good luck on Verizon.....
Sprint's first offer was free Samsung Moments or Heros. I told them that wasnt apples to apples so I figured i would through it out here... My bill is 1100 dollars a month so the way I figure asking for free EVOs is not out of the question when i am signing a guaranteed 2 year contract that is worth 26,400 dollars over the life of that 2 years.

I think that's reasonable as long as you've been with them for a significant amount of times. They throw a lot of free stuff out like that for loyal customers.

In our logic that might seem reasonable but from a company stand point taking a hit upfront like that isn't something they tend to lean towards. Maybe buy 5 get 5 would be something to shoot for? Not to mention where are these Evo's coming from? It's hard enough to find one or two....

Not at all... I feel this is a Very Valid request that Sprint should Honor, If I was renewing one phone on a cheap shared plan Maybe I understand if they dont want to wheel and deal... When Ive got 10 lines to renew 9 of those on everything plans and an unlimited data card, they would be foolish not to make this deal....
If there is a retentions Rep. out there looking to score a few points PM me, I know the coding to make this work in your system.
Edit: BTW this is an original Nextel account that is well over 12 years old.... I go through this every 2 years so I know they will give in, Just takes the right person behind the computer......

Obviously there is more to this story if you're saying that you even [just so happen to] know Sprints system and their key codes for discounts. With all of your inside knowledge, maybe I should message you about some codes to get my bill lower
EDIT: I am all for getting the best deal and I hope this works out for you. It just seems that you're playing a game of smoke and mirrors by (a) posting on a public forum for business needs and (b) noting that you know the codes to make it all work in the Sprint system. It almost seems like you're looking for a gullible employee to get it into the system for you meaning that Sprint will have to honor it for you at the possible cost of some form of discipline to the employee that puts it in.

Do you have 4G in your area? You might want to wait till later this year when VZ rolls out LTE, if they do in your area anyway. I don't think they will have LTE compatible phones anytime soon however, but since you want an overdrive you should take it into consideration. You could also wait for the Epic4g, and get a mix of evos and epics in case any of your employees like keyboards. They both have FFC so you can easily do video chats. By that time the evos will be older and they might be more willing to give you free ones, especially if they actually have them in stock, lol. Its hard to find one of them, let alone 10.

Cell companies bend over backwards for company accounts. You may not get them for free but you may get deep discounts. Let them know you are considering other companies and what they have to offer.
Considering how much they'd make in the 2 years plus those $10 evo charges I think they can work with you.

Where is everyone?

I found it appropriate to kindly ask, where is everyone that was hating Sprint 2 weeks ago? Funny how phones change peoples minds, even if service in their area still suck. I can't see myself paying a company that doesn't cover my area just because they have a nice phone, but I guess if you like being tormented enjoy the new phones! I sure will.
And to clear some things up, my area sucks for Sprint service as well, I drop every single call inside of my house if im in my living room and Sprint doesn't give employees free Airaves
Well, my speeds have gotten better in some areas, so that's why I'm not complaining anymore... and I can't really beat $54 a month...though, virgin mobile's new deal looks pretty good.

Sprint loves me as far as coverage goes, and always has (I've lived in Los Angeles since I've had Sprint).
On other carriers? So what, we're all supposed to be happy now even though many of us still have crap data speeds because Sprint came out with a new phone? Dont get the logic..I mean if our data speeds had gone back up hell id be the first one on here rejoicing.
I'm here.
I haven't had anything to ***** about re Sprint in a long time but I'm here now and I'm here to say FVCK YOU SPRINT, bastards..
I am so pissed about this whole losing my upgrade that I've been saving since December knowing more great phones would drop in Q2.
No offense shrooms, but please don't send me another pm about how retentions will reinstate it.
I just got off the phone with retentions (i was very civilized on the phone) not only did they completely stonewall me on the upgrade, they were delighted to terminate one of my lines and bill me an etf.
I will definitely let my contracts run out, shop the competition and if I do stay with sprint I sure-as-**** won't sign another contract.
Sooo pissed off right now..

I've seen that before, but I never tried it because I'm already getting a total 30% off of my bill. Really, I was just messing with Shrooms. I get a 5% "courtesy" discount on my bill because I called them once *****ing about something or other (this was years ago; I don't remember what my complaint was) and they offered this to me as a consolation. I also get a 25% discount because my employer is under Sprint's list eligible companies that they give discounts too. So in total, my $69.99 plan comes to $78.49 including the $10 data fee, the $7 for TEP, and all local taxes.
I have no complaints.
Oh, and I've been with Sprint since 1999, so I get all my Premier benefits. My plan is so old, that I still get the first incoming minute free. lol Anyone remember that?

[Q] Phone upgrade?

Who thinks sprints upgrade isn't as good as it should be. Your with them for awhile and when due for a upgrade after 2 years but is it really a upgrade.
Most of the free phones are older and not new lol there older no one wants them thats why there free.
You get the same thing a discount a new customer gets 150 off with a 2 year new contract WTF.You would think after being with them for awhile you get a better discount that would be nice.
So what do you guys think? Keep it on topic what you feel about the upgrade. Also without getting insane about money there making and losing.
Just a general question no flaming or you will be reported since this isn't a flame war just a general thought on what everyone thinks about it.

So you don't think you're upgrading your phone from an old one to a newer one with more features? The money you pay over the course of 2 years is so Sprint can make their money back on the money they LOST selling you a discounted phone.
I'm sorry but this thread fails. Lol. An upgrade means going from old to new. From good, to better. You're going from an older phone to a newer phone. A good phone to a better phone. An UPGRADE.

Lol not really a fail was a question to see what everyone was thinking that was all.
I see how alot of people see it even tho sprint makes a thousands of dollars every 2 years off you no one seems to care that the upgrade is ****ty lol sometimes it's not worth using the upgrade cause there is nothing worth buying at the moment sometimes the phone your using is better then whats out. So each to the own.
Was a general question doing a study on thoughts of people who like the upgrade and those who don't so no FLAMING IF YOU DO FLAME YOU WILL BE REPORTED AND YOUR COMMENT DELETED. SO KEEP IT NICE AND TO THE POINT. THANKS.
Well....... I mean.... no carrier is just gonna give you a free phone when you upgrade. Unless you pick a basic crappy phone. They're giving you a 300-400 dollar discount on a phone... that's generous if you ask me.
I can see how you might think a customer who's been with sprint for 2 or more years should get a nicer discount, yeah, that would be nice. But that doesn't mean we aren't upgrading our phones.

They don't make their money back in 6 months... it takes a minimum of 12 months to make their money back, after that is when they start making profit, assuming you're not taking advantage of the yearly upgrades in which then, they barely make any money back off of you.

Never tend to upgrade unless there is something new thats been out for awhile so the bugs are all worked out. They do make money off many things there not poor lol.
Well if your bill is 105 dollars every month that adds up quick in my book.

Leta see that's 1260 a year minus the 350 they ate for you getting the evo ($910), plus running the stores, network, payrolls, and what ever other expenses im sure they make a slim profit margin in there somewhere.
I worked at Walmart they said out of all the expenses they only make 2% profit off a sale.

Some of the discount carriers make you pay for the phone in full, but the plans are about half as much and the quality of service is sub par.

True. I weaseled out of my T-Mobile contract with no etf after just getting the mytouch 3g for $99 by moving out of the coverage area by 10 miles. They took a hit there lol. They wanted me to pay for the phone. I refused.
I'm sorry OP, but your logic fails on this one.
