Yeah, been that way for a couple months now

I had it, now I dont see it on mine when I sign on... I called Tmo the other day for my G1 acting up and it asked if I wanted to do it and I said later. Is it still in affect?

Ended up not being cheaper for me.
Seems like every time T-mobile offers an upgrade, it cost me an extra 10 bucks. I guess if I didn't have myfaves for both phones, then it would prolly be in my best interest to have it.

not true...i've been in good standing with t-mo for 7 years+. when i called last month to inquire, they said it was only open to "select" customers...even today, when i log onto the website, the unlimited plan still shows $99.99. wtf?? i have been with these fools since 2001!
i've sent an email to t-mo just now. i'll advise as soon as i hear back.

I work in a store and have run into this issue. I thought it was people who have been with us for 22 months or more but I guess there are some hidden factors there. The only thing I can think of is if you had your service suspended. Other than that I can't think of anything else that would effect it.

i don't think my service has been suspended any time in the past 4+ years...i'm wondering if it's because i don't ever use anywhere near my current plan's 1500 minutes.
here's the log of my chat session with T-Mo CS:
me: can you tell me why i don't qualify for the "unlimited loyalty" plan? i have been with t-mobile for nearly 8 years.
CSR: Today, this offer is available only to selected customers.
CSR: T-Mobile runs promotional offers and test offers that are available to different groups of customers, and at this time, your account does not qualify.
CSR: In the future, your account may be eligible for similar type offers. For some of our test offers, whether or not we extend these offers beyond the initial qualified group depends on response from our customers.
CSR: The exact criteria used for the promotion is not available as many different pieces of criteria were considered when selecting the specific audience available for this promotion.
me: so there are no specifics as to why i don't qualify after more than 7 years as a t-mobile customer?
CSR: This is a promotional offer only available for a short time
CSR: Based on the response to this offer, we hope to extend it to a wider audience in the future.
me: thank you for your help.

Its probably nothing you've done or your usage just a stupid system. The only other thing I can think of is if you changed your number anytime in the last 2 years. If not keep bugging customer care till they give it to you.

i did change my number, but it was 5 years ago when i moved to california. i just edited my previous message to add the chat session i had with a csr. it seems qualification is random...like i said, i go nowhere near my plan minutes now (1500 for $49.99) so i'm not really missing out on anything...it's just...if they're gonna reward people for their "loyalty", i certainly want to be recognized for my 80 months of loyalty!!

My understanding is that this is the unlimited Loyalty plan is not available to business/corporate lines (which is what your account is if you are getting a discount through your employer.) It is somewhat hard to get positive confirmation of this though. The eligibility requirements on the web are vague. I have been w/ T-Mobile since 2001 and I was offered the option.

ahh...that makes sense...in january my company sent an email to all associates telling us we can receive a 10% discount on our t-mo bill. i called and gave the CSR the code. i bet they then switched me to a corporate account.
things are getting clearer...but why couldn't the CSR tell me that today?

sounds like they were just giving you a standard response without even really looking at your account.

I feel the same way. I like the idea of having unlimited minutes but I have more than enough with myfaves and my 600 minutes right now. I almost never touch the 600 in a month with Nights and weekends on there.
I think, if you believe i'm so "loyal" and you want to offer me a "deal" make it something cheaper than what I already use.

finally, a "non standard" response. i received an email today telling me that i do, in fact, qualify for the unlimited loyalty plan, but i would lose my corporate discount. then the CSR said she reviewed my usage and recommended that i stay at my current plan. she told me that i'd save $10.70/mo if i do NOT switch.

[Guide] Buying your Nexus One ~Family plan too!~

So... Everyone is still getting screwed by Google 'eh? How about that $279 that basically no one can get because we are all on family plans... Well THERE IS A WAY AROUND THIS! >.> <.< Quick before Google catches on, buy yours.
Now that the fun is out of the way =) I don't know if this has been posted anywhere else, I looked but... We all know how that goes. Disclaimer: This is based 100% off personal experience, I tried everywhere to find a better way to buy it, and trial and error got ME here. So don't steal my stuff eh? ~Note: If you can link me to somewhere that already has this I'll give them credit, but I really figured this out myself.~
Tested on 2 upgrades on my personal family plans.
So we know that you have to be on the "Even more" type plans to get a discount, or even be eligible for one right? (Well now you do) So what to do for those of us who have been with T-mobile for years, and are eligible for an upgrade, but we have a different type of plan (this workaround is ONLY tested with family plan).
So Here is what you do:
~Give T-Mobile a call and ask them to change your plan to an Even more (any one of the eligible ones) at the END of your billing period.
-Basically what this does is put an "activator" (their word not mine) on your plan which will switch your plan to the even more when your account month is up, this doesn't change any info yet!
~Log onto Google, and buy your phone! As soon as they put the activator on in their system Google's system registers it and you become eligible for the upgrade discount. ($279)
~Give T-Mobile another call before the end of your billing period, so basically before the activator changes your plan, and cancel that activator. Everything on your current plan will remain intact, and Google doesn't charge a cancellation fee. (Havent yet =>) I recommend doing this after you've received your phone or when you can see it is shipping. Just in case.
If you have any questions feel free to ask, but this worked for me! 2x! Woot loop hole! Besides it was time I gave back to XDA. If you wanna donate.. I haven't figured out how that works so what ever...
1/26:Still no fee so... Yep!

Just to be safe I want to make it clear this is a short term result so far and you should always talk to T-Mobile before changing anything!

Google hasn't charged the ERF yet... How can you be sure that they won't? They have 120 days to do it...

This would have been good info to have prior to my struggles with the process. In the end, though, I am glad to have bought it unsubsidized. Good catch though.

I think it's still too early to speculate that you won't get charged an ETF. There is still plenty of time for google/tmobile to charge you the fee and/or locate and charge people using this loophole. All they would have to do is check the # that was upgraded and check with tmobile at the end of a billing cycle and see if it is still on the supported plan.

So you're making what appear to be definitive claims, without actually knowing if you're right in the long term. You're only right "so far"? Isn't it irresponsible of you, considering that people may rely on your conjecture and end up being charged $350 as a result?

2 Reps said it shouldn't void the terms of sale... so if I get screwed ill let you guys know but if it doesn't work I would have at least liked to know about it... call them yourself to verify!

I'd probably suggest putting a disclaimer on your first post saying that only so far you haven't been charged, and it is possible you may be in the future. To prevent other people from just blindly following your suggestions.

Haha its in 2nd post

I don't want to start a new thread for something this remedial, and the answer might be good to add to the guide...
The FedEx overnight shipping is awesome! Do you have to be home for delivery though? ie, do you have to sign for it, or is it such that you can leave a note asking that they leave it in your mailbox type thing? My purchase date will be affected by this, and I am sure others will be as well.

I honestly don't know might ask I know mine had to be signed for

Someone has to sign for the phone. No way around it.

I had a feeling it would be that way... wonder if I should set the shipping address as my work then? That would guarantee it would get signed for, they also get delivered to around 11AM instead of 4PM(FedEx always comes around 4PM to my place)... and seeing that I work 5 days a week, and live 2 blocks away, doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Yeah, you can do that... just make sure you call your credit card company and let them know what you're doing and to expect a charge for the amount you get quoted by Google as soon as you place your order. The credit card company can hold up the transaction for an extra day or two to investigate since the shipping address and billing address will be different. It happened to me (had the phone shipped to my sister's place in Chicago where I was visiting when the N1 was released).

Small Sprint Discount

If any of you fellas wanna get on the employee referral program shoot me a message with your email, ill send you the link later today. I can only go up to 30people so first come first serve. Doesnt work for the simply everything plan. Just my token of appreciation to the hard workers around here. Ill reserve a few spots for the makers of fresh as that is the rom I use.
*EDIT* CLOSED!! Limit has been reached. Sorry guys no more can be accepted!
I think i've answered everyone's questions, if I didn't, shoot me another PM. Again you can expect your e-mails sometime today hopefully if it's not extremely busy you should receive them by 6-7pm est time - if it's busy just wait a little longer, but they will come today.
The discounts include more minutes and it's roughly $10.00 off additional more individual plans and $20.00 for family plans.
*EDIT* http://a676.g.akamaitech.net/f/676/773/12h/images.delivery.net/cm50content/sprint/eprp/EPRP.html <--- That's the link to what the program includes. Please read the bottom as there are qualifications that must be met

Guys, you've just netted him a bunch of cash. He gets money for every referral.

yea but if it saves someone money on their bill than what gives lol the people wouldnt of gotten the discount without him so even if he is making money so are the people that get the discount...how is that a **** move?

thousands of people use and abuse the Employee Referral program this is nothing new "feld" -- just do a quick google search, enjoy reporting all those people.
I for one am already on the employee referral program, and no i dont know anyone that works for sprint. i previously heard about it (years ago) and simply walked into a sprint store, talked to a nice dude and asked him his email/pin and signed up as soon as i got home. he had no issues with it. he didnt even really know what it was. but props to him if he got a bonus for it.

BTW feld i remember when i had 10 posts

I wish this covered the Simply Everything

Sent a PM. Whether you have enough invites to cover me or not, thank you.
This is a great gesture and a really awesome way to keep the community happy.

How is that a **** move? First of, I actually DONT get any referral money and secondly we have another program called the ADVANTAGE CLUB for FRIENDS AND FAMILY not the referral program where discounts and plans start Everything Data 550 not 440 for $20.00 a month, no deposits, no credit checks, no contracts. Idiot. What has this world gotten to when a simple nice gesture becomes a friggin competition and open grounds for insults?

As for you, when you work at Sprint and log into your system there is a link this the referral program, then at the bottom it says "Click here to print these as business cards! Hand them out to friends or people you meet!" ... Yeah, abused when Sprint themselves encourages you to give them to strangers...

Is this the Everything Plus Referral Plan? I'm on it now (signed up using Russ McGuire, VP of Strategy's well-known and publicly-disclosed info), but I'm not sure its actually worth it. I'm saving a few bucks a month, but the downside is that I'm now right below the monthly payment amount to qualify for Sprint Premier status. If you factor in regular handset upgrade costs, I think I'm coming out behind.

That's exactly my problem. The EPRP plan is right below where I need to be for Premier. I have TEP, which would put me over the threshold, but only the plan price counts. I have suspicion that they planned it that way.

It depends on the plan you receive. It's $69.99 for individual and $99.99 for family to qualify. So yes, there are some that will put you under the threshold to qualify for premier status, but if you've been with us for 10+ years you're always going to be premier... Yea I know, that's a long time

Cheap sprint plans

Since i havn't seen this anywhere here i figured i would post it to help some people save a little money
http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=173903

Holy crap. Now the real question: Can I switch over my plan to this without paying a ETF?

Would be nice to have this. I would only save 15 or so a month, but right now I can use all the money I can get.

I'm so flipping confused after reading that...
Can someone with some experience working with these accounts chime in? I understand using the guy's email and CID, but how would this play in for those of us who have been with Sprint forever, have family plans, and still have time on their contract?

It's a referral plan, meaning it's for people that are currently NOT a Sprint customer and are being referred to Sprint by an employee. If you are currently a Sprint customer, you would have to cancel your current account and pay an ETF if you are still in contract.

Thanks...I'm "chatting" with spring right now. If you want to consider waiting five minutes between responses chatting. I'll post my results here to confirm.
I won't bore you with the useless information he gave me at the beginning:
Code:
15:37:50 : HIM: Is there anything else I may assist you with?
15:38:18 : ME: So what I'm getting is doing the ESRP creates an entirely different account
15:38:22 : ME: right?
15:39:41 : ME: sorry, EPRP
15:39:56 : HIM: Yes, you are correct.
15:40:13 : ME: so how could I, or would I, be able to get the remaining lines of my account onto it?
15:40:33 : ME: would there be an ETF or would a transfer of liability work?
15:40:53 : ME: this is provided I opened a new line also
15:43:26 : HIM: I am sorry the lines can not be transfer from the existing account to new referral account which you are going to open.
15:45:09 : ME: OK, just one more question then. So say, in the future, my contracts are expired. I have no obligation to Sprint. I open an EPRP providing the program is still around. Would I be able to open a new account with an old phone number?
15:46:31 : HIM: Ok, One moment.
15:50:36 : HIM: I am sorry you can not open the new account with the old phone number, however when you will open the new account the system will automatically generate the new phone number for you.
15:51:18 : ME: Ok, I guess that covers all of my questions. Thanks for dealing with me =).
15:51:36 : HIM: You are welcome.
I'm not completely satisfied with these answers; however, I was reading on the other forum of people getting a Transfer of Liability to work to get their lines over. I may just stop by the Sprint Store on my way home from work tomorrow.

Good luck with that! I am sure you could find someone that would do it for you if you talk to the right person. It saved us a lot of money, and made it very worth it to switch to from verizon.

From my experience, I signed up fro SERO about 3 years ago, when the plans were basically unlimited except for the 500 anytime minutes and it was $30 a month. I was already Sprint customer, out of contract. In order to get a SERO account, I had to open up a brand new line, I was not able to transfer my old number over either. So I got a new line, new number, and just closed my old account. Been happy with it ever since. When the EVO came out, I had to upgrade my plan to an EREP plan, which increased it almost double. Thankfully, a couple months ago, they came out with a SERO Premium plan that would work with the Android phones and it was only $40 a month (plus $10 premium data charge). It was only available if you previously had one of the old $30 SERO plans. Well, that's my story.

So I got a new line, new number, and just closed my old account. Been happy with it ever since. When the EVO came out, I had to upgrade my plan to an EREP plan, which increased it almost double. Thankfully, a couple months ago, they came out with a SERO Premium plan that would work with the Android phones and it was only $40 a month (plus $10 premium data charge). It was only available if you previously had one of the old $30 SERO plans. Well, that's my story.

Did you re-convert your eprp back to the sero premium? If so, when and how?

Yes I did. I just called them up and no questions asked, they saw that I previously had SERO and switched it to SERO premium.

Yea I'm also on the sero premium. I will never switch to another carrier as long as I have my sero premium. and i'm surprised people didn't know about the new sero aka eprp. I was expecting the op to get flamed for old news. lol.

I've been on sero for years now, and it's pretty great. The only thing that drives me nuts now is that virgin mobile is an even better deal than sero, without a contact.

Existing customers can't switch. I've put my info all over these boards for new customers to use.

Ahh I was hoping existing customers could switch.

actually there is a way to get around the ETF/etc..
go to the site & apply for a new line undere the everything plus plan (make sure to pick a free phone unless you wanna pay out of the pocket).
after the order is approved/goes through, call customer service & have them pull your existing line(s) under the new everything plus account you just started...
now you have 30 days to decide if you want to keep this extra line you just purchased. if you decide to cancel like i did, your remaining lines will still be on the everything plus plan.
one word of warning, i will be losing my premier gold status as of april 01 due to this move. despite my previous lines being open with sprint for 10+ years, the new everything plus account basically starts new so they will only recognize my time w/sprint as being since i moved my lines over to the new account. (they do acknowledge the fact that they see in their system the same line/number has been open for 10+ years, but i haven't found a rep yet who will mark it on my "new" account)..
i generally prefer to stay out of contract anyway so it's not a huge deal to me.

Another point to note. From my experience, they will not let you apply any kind of company or student discounts on top of EPRP. In my case, it turns out to be cheaper to get the normal plan with the company discount.

Okay.. I was able to reproduce problems. Big bummer! AT&T's probably just got some sort of web error messing things up. I know they'll have pre-orders for current customers.

I just ordered it for 500 off contract. AT/T owes me an override for the problems with my captivate so I plan to call them in the morning and get it at the upgrade price, but wanted to make sure DG didnt order 80 of them and buy em all...

BTW: Mine still says only $399 off-contract with the discount.

Their website is all KINDS of screwed up. The Premier side of things won't let you order a data plan with the Atrix which prevents you from getting any discount...I don't understand how they can so completely screw up pre-orders...It's certainly not very confidence inspiring.
Oh, and FYI, this may be the "official" thread but there've already been several threads about pre-orders.

You're pretty daring hoping they'll be able to fix the order layer seeing as you've committed to the $500 price and offered your payment information already. All I can say is, GOOD LUCK!

I didn't mean it as official thread! I meant to say that's the official pricing... and that it's officially up and live. Not official thread!
Yes, I hope their web dev team straightens this stuff out.

I logged all the way out, and logged back into the premier account as if I wanted to upgrade my existing phone, then it showed it to me for 500 and let me order it.

I'm praying that they don't retract that $399 price.

PS I've found that the site is completely hosed up in Chrome, looks correct and all the data fills in right in IE (8). Weirdness...

Hmmm. I'm on Firefox 4 B11. All is looking good.

Didn't see any options for the laptop and phone combo online, I'll go in and order in the morning
