Sprint requires your phone to be sent back in

So today, I was getting everything straight so we could transfer our number to AT&T. The reason we are switching is bcause Sprint has NO service at my house. I had talked to several reps from Sprint, all of which said that the Early Termination Fee would be waived since we did not have coverage. Well, today I found out that even having been told the ETF would be waived, me and my mother would be required to send our phones into Sprint or we would be charged. WTF?! They are going to charge us if we don't send back phones that WE payed for? One of them over a year ago! I think this is BS. I will fight it as long as I can. What do I need to tell them? I wasn't told this the first times I was told the ETF would be waived.. so I may go on that. Way to go Sprint though, piss u off even as were leaving.

Part of the contract deal is they "absorb" the difference of retail vs. the 2 or 1 year contract phone price. They should technically offer you a proration of that difference for each phone based on the remaining contract time.

Just call & ***** for one week. Hears how I got out of cantract last march (becuz of bs gps on froyo & 2.1) I called & *****ed *****ed some more an other day. Then one day I woke up with a hang over in a bad ass mood. I called them & told them I had nothing to do that day & it was raining out. And proceeded to tell them that if they did NOT resolve my problem on this call I would continue to waste there time & call them all day therefore over hours of them paying customer service to listen to my *****ing insted of them helping other customers which would equal more than my early termination fee. Rofl & it works on there 3rd call. Now I did not leave sprint I only wanted off contract cuz the way I see it sprint had there dam name printed on a phone that said it had gps & it did not work & the only reason I was on contract was because they subsidized the price of the phones. A phone with a defective piece of **** gps until gingerbread and custom rom over a year later.
So you could find some thing you don't like about the phone (a software bug) and focus on that. Maybe the sound on the camera in gb there no mute?
If you know how to ***** then you WILL get your way.

My phone cost over $600 to buy outright when I got it but I only paid $199 and signed a two year contract. So I'm sure someone feels that if I don't complete the contract they ought to get something back. Just sayin...

ETF is one thing to get out of, but part of the contract was that they would give you an expensive phone for cheap if you stay with them. You are leaving so they want their phone back. I say THEIR phone because the you are actually paying for the phone over the time of the contract's length.
Also, why did you wait so long to cancel when you had no coverage at your house? Didnt you check coverage BEFORE signing up with them? After all, it IS a lot of phone and you are getting into a legal contract.

Or... You could work them for a free Airave. Same thing here our house is a deadzone. The thing works great and I npw have full signal at home.

I'm also with sprint on this one. The entire point of the ETF is is to absorb the cost you caused them to incur when giving you the subsidy. Returning the phone seems like the right and reasonable thing to do if you they are going to waive the fee. Our phones are basically minicomputers now and are not cheap to us or the carriers.
OP, were you aware you had no service within the trial period? How about the airave?

Alright sorry I just got back to service. Where we live, there is no high speed internet, so the Airave is out, we actually have one, but no internet. Second, we just moved. We have been wth sprint for 8 1/2 years. Where we moved to doesn't have service. And for the last poster, I bought my Epic off of Craigslist, part of what upsets me about hving to send it in.

If you bought it off of Craigslist they have absolutely no right to it politely tell them to die in a fire. As for the Airave you will probably have to send it back unless you were crazy enough to pay them for it (got mine for free) find a sprint retail store or ups it (ground is 5-7bucks most anywhere in the states).
I didn't see all that much about what other phones you have, but the ones bought from sprint at a reduced cost are subject to the etf.. Now if its been bought from eBay/Craigslist/ect. ect. I can only suggest you tell them to die in a fire, if that don't work give the folks at the executive customer service dept. a call 703-433-4401 (Consumerist)

Yeah ill send the Airave in, they are sending a return kit for it. The other Epic was bought less than 6 months ago with the upgrade so ill probably just send it in. At&t would give us $85 for it which would cover the cost of the Captivate Glide which is what she got, but oh well I guess.

I was gonna say you could always sell it and you might make a buck or two off it after the ETF, but then I remembered that they increased the ETF's not too long ago.
If you were lucky enough to get it before the increase you could pay the ETF and sell it on eBay/Craigslist or here on xda & still come out ahead .

this whole debacle sounds like a mix up and either the op or sprint is very confused. sprint DOES NOT require you to send in the hard ware if they cancel the etf. who even told you this op? they cant even do anything with the phone besides use it for parts or refurb it. 1 or 2 hundred dollars is less than a drop in the bucket when your last earnings report said you were down 5 bil. (im looking at you sprint)
i think they just want you to send back the airave.

Terrible experience with Tmobile trying to upgrade to GS2

I've been a loyal Tmobile customer for over 10 years, even before they became Tmobile. However, after the terrible customer service experience I've been having with them the past few days over trying to purchasing a GS2 I have decided to brake my contact and move to a different carrier.
They have been giving me the run around and wrong information. I've had enough of their bs!
This is what they have been telling me each time I have called to purchase one. Keep in mind I haven't purchased a Tmobile phone in over 5 years.
(paraphrasing here)
Call #1 They said yes I "qualify for a full upgrade discount" and they have the white GS2 "in stock".
Call #2 , 4 days later, It's my paydays and ready to purchase..."no sorry we don't have any in stock". I said ok nevermind. I'm now thinking I 'll just buy an iphone 4 from craigslist and jailbrake/unlock it. She then puts me on hold. Different rep answers and says "yes we do have some in stock". I order one and again specifically (because I thought they were just trying to keep me happy) say "I want a white samsung galaxy s2". The guys says "no problem, I have that noted."
Call #3, 4 days later they ship me a black GS2. I called and told them the mistake. The rep said I was given the wrong information and that the white GS2 is on "back order". She was very apologetic and said they would ship out a white one asap. I said fine, i'll ship it back and wait out for the white one since I have already been charged $340 for the white one.
Call #4, 5 days later I called to confirm if they received the phone back. They said yes and when I asked when the white would be shipped she said I "don't qualify for a discounted white gs2" and that I could only purchase the black one for the $340 I was charged. I of course was furious because I had been told that I do since I haven't even purchased a phone from them in years. On top of that I haven't found a different price for a white GS2 either from Tmobile.
That was it for me. I asked for a refund and as soon as I get credited back I'm cancelling my service with Tmobile.
I'm moving on to AT&T and getting that sexy Samsung Note!

Awesome story

Really sucks you went through that man.. I feel your pain..
Just really hope you don't go with an Iphone.. Don't get me wrong, its a decent phone, but a decent phone for a 3-4 year old platform..
There is absolutely no competition anymore, the tiny screens, the none existent 4g, the lack of freedom, the list just goes on.
Good luck with whatever you choose.. If you're really leaving I saw go to Verizon and get the Nexus!

I've been an avid fan of the jailbraking community. It's nice what you can do with a jailbroken iphone. However, since I'm with Tmobile I don't ever get a chance to browse 3g/4g speeds. That's probably the main reason why I'm moving away from the iphone and into android/rooting community.
I was leaning on getting the GS2 but today I went to the AT&T store and was blown away by the Samsung Note. I'm getting one Wednesday.

yup. my wife ordered me one as a surprise/gift and they sent an amaze. two months later i finally got my sgs2, $400 on a 2 year contract... if my wife wasn't making me stay with tmob, i would pay the etf and get a galaxy nexus tomorrow.

Damn y are you guys paying so much with a contact? I was only 14 months into my contract when I called the loyalty department, told em att made me an offer I couldn't refuse which included paying my termination fees and asked what they were willing to do to keep me. I ended up with bogo free gs2's for $249+ tax waived the upgrade fees, shipping cost (express shipped), and activation costs.

there customer service may not be perfect but when calling in if the reg cs agent says thru can't do anything or basically tells you no...tell em you want to speak with loyalty department. I have yet to get off the phone without getting my way. Also when speaking with em don't ask for something, you tell em this is what is going to happen, they say O we can't do that simply ask, well fine what's my termination costs? That will get ball rolling.

If you qualified for an upgrade you could get the phone through Amazon or Best Buy. Guess is too late for that.

loyalty/retention department is your best friend
when you call 611 or whatever to call tmobile and the automated system says "what can i help you with today.. you can say etc etc"
SAY: CANCEL or RETENTION
they will transfer you to that department right away. I always talk to the reps there, because they're basically the reps who has been with the company longer and has more power over everything. They are basically supervisors (not really but could be?) to the regular reps, that means their own supervisors even have more power lol.
But anyways, any problems you guys have.. talk to these guys first because they have more access to "the system" than the regular reps, such as discounts and ****.
like bobby said he got a bogo free for $249 free everything.. this is their regular deal.. in fact it's not a deal at all. usually when you're almost 1.5 years into your contract, you're allowed early upgrade.
why is it not a deal? because... the standard upgrade price ranges from free-250 (depends if there are any promotions) so they could've just beautify and you're actually paying the regular upgrade price of $125 per phone (look into it, a lot of people either get the phone free or around $125 when upgrading). Or the phone is $249 and they credit you the $250 "credit" you get when you sign a extension to your contract and that goes into buying your phone.
Anyways! retention! thats who you have to call, I usually jump in and ask the rep whats the best they can do for me. If they say anything lower than $250 credit. that's BS. I have seen people get free phone + $250 credit. you can tell the rep that's what another rep has offered just "30 mins ago" they will try to match it, if not, hang up and call again, talk to another rep.
You know what I ended up getting $250 credit + $10 off every month of my contract. IT is usually one or the other because $10x24 = $240. And yes I have access to $10 2gb plans and $20 5 gb plans as well.
sorry for the ramble but hope this helps people save money on dealing with tmobile reps

13 months into my contract I called and upgraded 2 lines, both got SGS2 for $279 with a $50 mail in rebate. Of course when you deal with t-mobile it's a flip of a coin on getting someone who actually wants to help you. I have hung up and called back several times until I get someone who is helpful and speaks English that i can understand.

As an employee I'm hella disappointed so many people are abusing the retention department in this fashion. And to the op, why didn't u just upgrade in store??? 340 is way more than it is in store so u didn't get a deal...

My two cents......... I've also been with t mobile for over 12 years. Went thru the same thing as the op, with one exception i was just trying to get a sgs2. Didn't care what color it was. i was told i had to order one and that it wouldn't come till April (this was at the beginning of march) at a price of 340 dollars .
long story short, got mad, cancelled my order with t mobile and told them i was talking my business elsewhere. they told me no one in my market had this phone, and going thru them would be the fastest way to put this phone in my hands----WRONG. an hour later and only 160 dollars spent i had the phone. TARGET had 10 in stock at half the price.

That probably might work. I called Customer Service last week, and they gave me a $150 credit after I complained about the price. I've been with T-Mobile for 10 years, so that could have something to do with it.

You have to have the phone on the account for so many days or prove that you paid outright for it. Then they can go through once you meet all the requirements.

Yes, T-Mo Customer Service is outstanding. You don't need to threaten to leave them for them to take action. Sure there are probably a few bad ones scattered around here and there but you can't blame them for that. After all, we're only human.

My friend called twice yesterday to see if he can extend his contract now 4 months early so that he can buy an S3 and both people said no. I found that quite lame, has anyone been able to extend their contracts early?

It also depends on how you reach out. My experience with AT&T has been that customer service is beyond terrible if you call in, but the employees at the corporate retail stores are extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

Yes but I was only a few weeks early. 4 months is a long time for a full upgrade so you really can't blame them for that. They will give him an early upgrade but that's about it for now.

I wish the VZW was like that here. All the local stores treat me like I'm wasting their time unless I'm buying something. If I have an issue I just call in now. It really pissed them off when I had the guy on the phone FWD my early upgrade to the store so I could pick it up same day( after the store denied my early upgrade and said it wasn't possible). The guy at the counter threw the phone on the counter and walked away.

My personal dealings with Tmobile CSR have been stellar. They work with you like a human instead of a number.
One time I was trying to save dollars on my phone bill so I was looking around their website. I ended up disabling my family plan's text messages. Got a bill a month later for 600+, I freaked out.. and called. The lady explained how it was binding to the contract when making online changes. Long story short she understood, reset my plan like nothing happened and asked me to watch my clicks
Then I moved to an area with less than strong 4G. Reception and data was spotty anywhere in my new home. I was really considering moving to a different company. I called and they sent me a free signal repeater. I've had better service ever since.
Where their service may be rocky they treat us well. In a society where it's all about product we forget that service is part of the product.

Verizon is terrible at CS until you get to the higher ups. I had a EnV Touch before my current X2 andvi went through 8 phones and they refused to offer me something else when 7 of them were software problem's. My X2 is another hyped up ****ty phone unless you run a rom. A mass Exodus happened on this phone starting with release of GNex. Most everyone filed a BBB complaint and after getting good customer support they let me upgrade early in April almost 11 months after phones release. I know now to go to the nice people at their HQ rather then at the store. Complete idiots work their at mine.

My full upgrade isnt due until September, but they just said on the phone, I can get the S3 for 279 with rebate but the phone is back ordered!

Just went to my local store and they said they had 6 but only for upgrading and new customers only... The guy was going to sell it, but the other lady store rep stopped him... =.= same person who probably refused to give me info the past two days...

Congratulate me guys, i just got the Note 2 after using the GS1 for the longest time (over 2 years) What a great phone! I paid 310 up front, and 20/month for 20 months, so phone ends up being.. about 710? not bad.

Just purchased mine for $688.00 OTD w/taxes and the only reason they sold it to me was that I already had a Monthly4G plan with them but they only had 3 and they were for new activations or current customers.... Not liking the missing multitasking though...

Where did you buy if full price? I went to 6 tmobiles in NYC and they were only selling it with new customers or upgradea. Ridiculous I tell you.

just annoyed since sure, it makes business sense to reserve them for new and upgrading customers. Buy if I'm buying a tmobile branded phone I am, with a 99.99% probability, going to be using the phone on their network and I'll still be using their service... Not to say I've been a tmo customer for 7 years but because I'm not a new customer or ready to extend my contract 2 years, I have to wait
