Received first Sprint bill since evo. $120!!!!!

I was about to throw up. What happened?
It was supposed to be
$70 <---Monthly fee everything data
$10 <--- Premium for data
$07 <---- Insurance
____
$87
But it seems they charged way too many taxes for NYC, NY State, activation fee which was not waived. Fee for this, fee for that.
The fees were prorated, which means I was charged only 2 weeks of fees. I don't want to know how the bill will be with 30 days worth of fees.
I hope this is a one time only. At that price it's like the iPhone!
I hope this doesn't happen in your states.

Yea that's common for the first bill. I tried to get my activation fee dropped but that wasn't happening. O well - my corporate discount kicks in 2 weeks

we were told that the activation fee would be on the current billing cycle, but would be credited back on the next billing cycle.
taxes/fees are just ridiculous and that doesn't matter where you live.

I went into my local sprint store and had them apply a credit for what my corp discount should be and they were happy to do it.
They also said that my activation fee posts at first but should be credited back after a bill or two and if not to come in and they will credit it themselves.
Find a local Sprint store where the ppl are cool and then go to that store exclusively. You would be amazed the lengths ppl will go for you once you develop a rapport with them.

are you a Sprint Premier customer? If so, then you should have no activation fee.

Yes, I'm a premier member. I will complain then. They didn't game me any discounts for accessories (the skin, and the plastic screen protectors), now they are charging me for the activation fee. I'll send them an email. Thanks for the tips.

You pay 59 and I'm paying 69 which is a waste because I don't call landlines, just the Chinese food.

I don't see the Everything Plus Plan on my account page.
Is it a special plan, like a corporate plan?
the one I have is the Everything Data 450. I even have less minutes than you.

It is what it people called "Sprint referral or Sero account" in the past

Ha you think you were about to throw up. My wife and I have the shared 1500 minute plan when our first bill came it was $260 bucks, WTH. I realized they had charges us the 29.99 fee which I had originally wanted for the hotspot but cancelled it. Then they added (2) $36.00. I hope it will not be like this every bill or I may have to cancel before the month is out.

Mine was $85-86
4 - Days of prorated charges & Premium Data
1 - Full Month of Service, Premium Data and Taxes
1 - 15% Discount

$85-86
The thing that made me was seeing the taxes...about $7-8 LESS than AT&T and T-Mobile (at least where I live!)
Can't wait until my discounts come rolling back in

anybody could get the eprp discounted plan, you just need a sprint employee's email and last 3 of his id #. Russ McGuire (a sprint exec) posted his info on his personal blog so anyone could use it. Basically gets you a cheaper plan with more minutes than the basic.
I got it for my buddy, but I didn't use it cuz I get a corp discount that doesn't stack on top of the EPRP plans.
Edit: You have to do it at account signup, they won't switch an existing account over. (might be able to do it with new line activation).

Do you have them as two separate plans?
Edit: Just reread your post. Are you sure they are both on the same family plan or are they two seperate individual plans on the same account? That sounds way too high.
I have the family 1600 eprp which is the same as the 1500 minute regular plan except it's cheaper with 100 extra minutes and $5 less per additional line
I have 5 lines 2 of them are evo's 3 lines have insurance and I paid $212 for my first month.
My plan is $109 for the first 2 lines $15 each additional line and $10 per evo line with $7 per line that has insurance.
The regular version of this plan is $129 for the first two lines and $20 per additional line.
EPRP also gets hotspot at $20 vs $30.

Pre-order from Radio Shack starts tomorrow $249 no rebate

My RadioShack guy just called me today and they'll be taking pre-orders for Epic 4G. You need to buy $50 gift card to reserve the phone and it could be used towards the Epic on 8/31 when you pick it up.
I hate dealing with rebates, I reserved two Epic's already.

I had that issue with my first phone, it was free via 3rd party but I had to pay ~$45 for activation, still cheaper then phone. I called sprint because for some reason I was charged $.02 for roaming, and I wanted to make sure it was a mistake because I didn't think Sprint charged roaming.
Anyway, Sprint noticed I paid the activation fee and credited it to my account because "Sprint doesn't charge for activation, period."
This was 2 years ago though, still more then worth it with the $50 gift card.

I'll prefer to hear from BestBuy (Mobile) and rather get it from them. Too many horror stories about the Shack and inventory levels when it comes to replacements and such.
I need to handle and play with it first at the store before rushing in anyway...

I really want this but that $10 add on for the so called "premium data" will probably keep me away from it. Even though it's only $10 if I end up having 5 devices that would raise my bill $50. I use 5 times the data on my palm pre than my wifes EVO so I don't know where they get this premium data charge from.

Yes it does but I'm just looking down the road. Are they going to start this with every new smartphone by using the premium data excuse to get an extra 10 out of you? 4 out of my 5 lines are smartphones so when I want to upgrade I'm thinking they will require premium data plans for all new smartphones. It does suck because I really want the Epic but that would be $20 more a month if you count the EVO I already have.

So, I'm debating which route to go for the Epic. Sprint Store vs RadioShack vs Best Buy.
I know that the MSRP is $499.99, -$150 upgrade discount, -$100 MIR, making it $249.99.
I've already reserved one at the local Sprint store. What I'm wondering is which option would I benefit from an instant rebate vs having to deal with the mail in rebate, and also, which option would allow me to split the cost over several billing cycles as opposed to it all up front. I've done that with prior upgrades, but always by ordering over the phone from Sprint directly.
If I walk in to the Sprint store on 8/31, I'd think they'd be able to bill my account, but will I have to deal with the mail in rebate hassle?
If I pre-order from RadioShack or Best Buy, it's $249.99 out the door, but would they be able to do the just bill my account part?
Thanks in advance for any advice, thoughts, information, or personal experiences in similar upgrade situations.

Nope, just called sprint and they told me it's per line not per account.

I called my local Radio Shack and they put on this waiting list tonight (Thursday night). They just took my name and phone number and said I was #1 on the list. I don't trust not having to put down a deposit, so I'll stop by there tomorrow and put down the deposit if necessary. I want to make sure that I'm really on the preorder list.

How much will it be if your not due for an upgrade?

It's 10 dollars per line for every 4G phone, the 10 bucks goes towards the cost of the 4G build out so I really don't mind, I have (not my friend or my cousin, me) I have 2 4G phones on my account and 2 non 4G lines I pay 10 dollars extra per 4G phone the non-4G phones have no extra cost associated with them.

Radio Shack has a preorder available online

Go to Sprint.com and start the order process for a 4G phone. When they give the price break down they add $10 for every line/phone that is 4G. Your friend misinformed you.

Sprint 23% recurring monthly credit for students

I you're a student and on Sprint, this might interest you.
http://www.studentrate.com/STUDENTRATE/all/get-all-student-deals/Sprint-Student-Rate-Member-Discount--/0

Is this one of the discounts they're discontinuing next month?

Read the fine text: Has to be used online, and from what I gather, you'll basically be renewing your contract for another two years, signing a new contract, or adding a line (see first consequence).
While 23% is nicer than the 20% I get through working for a municipality, I'll stick with my 20% for now. Thanks though!

They originally offered 15%, which I signed up for at first, then about a month ago they upped the discount to 23%. Think they also have a T-Mobile 25% discount. All you need to sign up is a .edu email addrress. Doesn't even have to be yours, just get someone to let you use it.
Now I get 25% off recurring fees per month and 50% accessories through work :O

I wanted this deal but the EVO's been sold out online since the release.

Fortunately I ordered online at midnight from the studentrate site on release day and had an EVO 3 days later. I feel bad for people who have been waiting 3 months. With the 23% discount my bill is $70/month after taxes and everything. It kind of takes the sting out of the $10 charge, but the thought of paying $10 less with another smartphone just brings the pain right back.

Any other discounts that I dont have to resign 2 years for? I just got the Evo and im paying 100+ a month on this 79.99 play ugh, help!

Any way to get the student discount by calling?

If you just bought your phone and service with Sprint, I suggest hopping on a discount soon because it will only extend your contract for a month or however long you've had your phone. It doesn't add 2 years to the end of your contract, it just starts a new 2 year agreement. Unless you already had service with Sprint, you won't be adding much to the length of your contract if you do it soon.

I bought my Evo through Studentrate when it was first released and have the 15% discount. Are you saying that I can somehow switch that to a 23% discount without buying anything? Anyone actually done that and if so, how?

I don't remember exactly how I did it, you just click the link for the discount at the studentrate site. I think down at the bottom of the RI Sprint page it will say something about adding a discount to a line. Then you enter your info and Sprint will notify you if you qualify. YMMV.

Yes it can be done. S.W.I.M. signed up with the 15 percent discount and as soon as the 23 percent discount became available...he migrated to it.
Actually what you should have done, since you are a member over there, is read the 30+ page thread about this.

you dont need to purchase your phone through them or extend your contract. I got this discount directly through sprint, it was 15% when i first signed up back in october. I had to be very persistent, it took me more than one call. You also have to have the primary account holder be the owner of the .edu email address. I will try to get them to increase my discount to 23% now that it is a higher discount, maybe they did it automatically I didnt check my last bill yet.

The normal student discount is 15%, but there is a discount only for members of a certain Rhode Island education association that is 23%. Not every student is eligible for the 23% so I doubt Sprint increased your discount. When you sign up for the 23% discount online it clearly states that your contract will be renewed, but maybe by calling a Sprint rep like you did, one might be able to keep the same contract termination date with some haggling.

I get 23% off for being a Chrysler employee. Also can upgrade every year.

Go back to your SR account, go through the same steps as when you were ordering, get the new code, then go to the website that's given, apply the code and you'll receive an email within a day stating that you've been approved for the 23% discount. I've been rocking it for 2 months and I'm kind of pissed that I'll be loosing it on the 3rd line.
Oh, BTW, did you ever get your $50/per line invoice credits for each evo - should have been on split over the first and second bill. We never got ours, so I called, chatted and finally got the $150 (3 evos) today. Now I'd like to know where that damn rebate is...

I forgot all about that invoice credit. I'm checking my last two bills and I'm not seeing any credits. Luckily I keep all paperwork and I have the original order invoice that lists the credit that I should receive. Who did you call? Studentrate or Sprint?
edit: My rebate shows that it has mailed so I'm not too worried about that. Already got and cashed the 25 bucks from studentrate.

T-Mobile discount

Found this on slickdeals. Anyone heard of this before?
All new activations and add a line with 2 year contract on T-Mobile.
• 10% on qualifying monthly recurring charges
• Waived Activation Fees ($35 savings per line)
• Free 2 Day Shipping
• FREE and/or Discount Devices with new activation
Call 866-464-8662 option 3 and give promo code 13997 TMOFAV. Say you are a member of student rate if they ask

Can you apply this deal to a family plan or only one line?

is there a promo code I can use instead of calling?

your best bet is to call. you MUST state that you are a member of Student Rate in order to get these discounts.
---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------
also!! here is the phone number: 866.464.8662
and hit option 3 - - use promo code 13997TMOFAV
my stepfather just used the code, so I know it works.

ugh ok i guess i will have to call.
thanks though!!

They asked which school i go to. I blanked lol
sent from my Sensation on CM7 Alpha#10

lol you don't have to mention a school.
instead of a school you need to mention that you're getting a promo via student rate.

i decided to call and it was just above all easier to activate and receive my discounts over the phone.
i was also able to confirm that i was getting a discounted phone as well as a discounted monthly bill.
your best bet is to just call instead of trying to obtain the discounts online.

this is an awesome promo for the fact that you can apply the discount over the phone.
more deals should be put out this way so people feel more comfortable.

there might be a limitation on the number of lines you can apply the discount to, but i know you can.

Please don't use T-Mobile. 5 months of living hell with T-Mo for me. they broke my contract many times

I don't know if that's the discount I got but I combined two accounts into a family plan and got a free GS2 for the line I merged into my account. It wasn't due for an upgrade for 6 months. I also got a discounted family rate. I pay $120 for my account. 1000 anytime shared + $20 Android 5gb per line and unlimited texting = $120
Great deal. Gave my Sensation to my wife and got the GS2. Took a few phone calls and I was ready to move to Sprint but I finally got a Loyalty supervisor who earned my business. My bill still says I owe $600+ since they haven't removed the phone charge yet. If you can handle the bull**** TMo is the best.

Thats about what i pay. $125. That includes $15 per line for a g2x and sensation. $30 of which is phone payments

Are you on that new unsubsidized phone - lower monthly rate plan? $95 a month is pretty nice. After insurance and tax I'm up at $130 and change. Better than the appx $160 I was paying separately.

Well i have a sensation mine, g2x is the girls. We both financed the phones so thats $15 a month per phone. She gets 2gb of data for $10. I get 5gb for $25. 1000 whenever shared and unlimited txting. Its $125 and some change but after the phones are paid off our bill will be really cheap. Its a good plan in my opinion. Service is great ect ect

I was with them for 7 years. Added a line, they took away my Fave5s, gave me Truly Unlim on all 3 lines, but on the one that talked the most on the phone... they only had 500 mins and we were still charged the quoted $170 + fees for the overage on minutes. Then we called, complained, they said it was fixed and apologized. Okay, next bill, it's even MORE expensive! We call, complain, rinse, repeat, and since they had broken our contract, we called, asked for waived etfs... 2 months later, a letter came in the mail and basically said "We don't feel we did any wrong, so you have to pay the $600 in ETFs." I was really furious at this point. Basically I lost over $1000 to this company.

Wow. Thats ridic. Ive never ever been overcharged with tmobile. They have been nothing but perfect.
Sent From deep space using My htc Sensation

I wouldn't settle for that $1k. Take them to small claims court.
I've had tons of bs with T-Mo in regard to billing. Take this month. My bill is $675. They still charged me for the free phone. Supposedly that was to be taken off on Feb 6th. Nobody told me that until I called wondering why my bill was wrong again. In the past year my bill has been wrong 9 months. When I bought my Sensation they screwed up the payments every month for 6 months in a row. Every month my bill was $400 and change and I had to call up and go through bs for 30 minutes to an hour.

And see this is why I probably will just move to Sprint. Tmobile is totally inept. It's now the 8th and nobody has fixed my bill. I call up and the moron on the phone can't even read the notes. I tell her the relevant dates. She puts me on hold and comes back and says it doesn't say anywhere that the phone was free and that they can't remove the charge. These ****ing idiots make me sick. I'm right to the point where I would pay more to get better service. I won't pay a cent to cancel this contract either. I will gladly sue them in small claims court for fraud. smh
Of course all departments shut down their lines before she transferred me to cancellations.
I hate these people. Now for 30 more stories from 30 different morons at Tmo. I will record my calls and just sue them. It will probably be less time suing them in small claims court than trying to find a person with a living brain cell in their call center. Pathetic.

Interesting!
I guess I have to call Customer Loyalty to get an Early Upgrade!

Is there any way to get this deal (other than a new line) if I've been a T-mobile customer since January 2012?

Hey, is there a direct line for this?
I was literally JUST talking to my wife about this (calling and asking for an early upgrade) because my Galaxy Nexus was stolen last Thursday. My upgrade is due August ~13, so its only a little over a month early.
PM me if you could please

What would the phone cost you if took the promotion, canceled after a month and paid the early termination fee?

I think you would have to pay the 200$ fee then give the phone back.

Does this work for the SGS3?

Unfortunately not since it is still a week away from being released. You might have to wait until Thanksgiving/Valentine's Day for the SGS3 to be free since they usually offer these specials around holidays.
I went into a Tmobile store for a new sim card and while I was there inquired about the terms. If I were eligible, I would have to change my plan and my per month cost would end up being much higher than it is now. So if you take them up on this, make sure you understand the terms and conditions as it is not as easy as walking in and getting a new phone for free. You have to pay the 300 (for the OneS) plus taxes and upgrade fees, keep the line open until you get your rebate back, and change your plan to one that may not be better for you.
If I had an upgrade available, I would buy it from Bestbuy as it is only 100 and you dont have to change your plan, just extend it. Plus no waiting for a rebate.

If you are due for an upgrade then it will work no problem but i guess not for ealrly upgrades...

So I missed the sale... typical. but I am still interested in that student offer. Thsi would still work right?

But the rep said,
"I am putting a Note here on you account, That you can get Full Discount. And Sir if you wait one more week, you can get the SGS II with full discount. I am unsure of what will be the price, but it might be 199.99 with 2 yr agreement."

They run this sale quite often.

can you answer this?
About a year ago, I moved to the area whre TMO have horrible reception.
All I get is Voice Mails.
If I keep complaining about it, will they let me get out of contract w/o ETF ???

Does t-mobile have a back to school offer?

Yes they have 2 back to school offers. BOGO free Samsung Galaxy II or Galaxy S Blaze & add a line for $5/month till 2014 which works with any phone. You can combine the discount/waived activation fees with these BTS promos - just say the promo code 13997 TMOFAV on the phone
