it tells you when you are eligible for a phone upgrade...
Thanks, responders, for explaining what this actually does.
All it gave me is what I get if I upgrade my phone to a new one. What's the point???
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
on your android phone you can just use the sprint zone app to check your upgrade eligibility.
it tells you when you are eligible for an upgrade on your phone. i.e $75 off w/new 2-yr contract after 1 year, etc. nice little thing to know
How about that! My gold status is shining!
I still can't figure that out. I know my account is new with sprint. See ya big red (had to get that jab in there...lol). Anywho according to it by the plan I have I should b a gold member but there is nothing that says that on my account.

I have no idea what gold member means, but I know for me it says "upgrade eligibility info unavailable for this account type." I am assuming that is because I am part of the employee advantage club though. Gotta love yearly phone upgrades
you get certain discounts and offers after a year.
It says that I save $150 w/ 2 yr contract starting 08/01/11

Just had a message in my notification bar from Sprint.
Had the little yellow Sprint icon in the top left. I pull it down and it says "Sprint Update coming soon."
I'm running EC05 from the update.zip.
I clicked on the message and it brought me to a page that showed the Sprint ID stuff and said an update in addition to Sprint ID will be coming soon.
What could it be?

Sprint just signed a deal with google for google voice. It might have something to do with that.

I received it as well via the sprint notification on the phone. Links to the same thing the text message did 3 days ago. Nothing special, means nothing.

I guess they just figured out nobody uses their voicemail b/c it blows goats. I think sprint may be getting a bit smarter, going with the current rather than paddling upstream and pissing off their loyal base.
This T-Mobile AT&T thing is a bit worrysome... but if Sprint starts partnering with Google. Well...
If they were really smart they'd be hiring dev's from sites like this and then they'd really be hip.
I received EB13 ota on day 1. Hoping to get similar results this time. Just got my phone back today from best buy. Had an incident where I went to take a picture an launched my phone about 10 ft across the bar. Gorilla glass is tough, not invincible. Phone also landed flat on the screen. Works great after the repair, though.

What's the point of staying a loyal customer to sprint?
I saw that on android central, and al I can say is le boo.
Well, at least they are moving the new customer pricing up to 20 months for upgrades, that's cool.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Those one year upgrades have got to cost them a bundle. That's the only perk I'll miss.
Well...at least we get 20 month upgrades. But the rest sucks.
Looks like ill have to go back to getting 1 year upgrades from assurion.
"Excuse me, my epic mysteriously got dropped in the toilet, then broken in half, then microwaved somehow, then I lost it.What's that, your out of epics? Well I'm not getting off the phone till I get an equal or better replacement. Why yes, ill take the epictouch if i have too. Since it doesn't have a keyboard, your going to comp me the deductible, right? Kthanxbai!"

But really, what % of lines qualify for that? Sprint premier is something that helped them keep customers long term. Now people won't have an incentive to stay. Now the only thing Sprint will have to hold it's hat over T-mo is true unlimited data.

How often do they not have replacement phone at assurion?
coming next.... true unlimited data goes away. after that price increases to match the competition. i'm done with sprint. my service has been too shoddy recently in areas that other companies have been good (including ATT) if i'm going to end up paying the same amount as those companies i'm jumping ship.

Ugh, why Sprint? One of the things I liked about you was actually caring about us customers. Now with this, the iPhone, maybe eliminating our unlimited data it just seems they want to be like Verizon and AT&T and be "one of the big boys on the block."

Well I've been a customer for 15 yrs. I still say they are better than the other carriers but i'm tired of getting dicked over. But that is the new company standard?

The first time someone sucsesfully pulls this, I garuantee there will be a massive thread. That's how I got a diamond (they were out of the vogue) and a tp2 (they were out of touch pro 1s)
It happens. Thbey usually will be out of stock for a few days while they are awaiting refurbs and will have to offer something from the authorized exchange list.
Its amazing how many phones take a bath that week.

Hate to say it but grandfathered unlimited plans are going bye bye.
That is if you update your line. You can keep it as long as you don't update you cell line.
But when you upgrade to you next phone you'll lose your unlimited plan and you can either get 2GB for $25 or since we have unlimited data now we can get 4GB for $30....
Damn you AT&T.
Update: You get to keep it. Some AT&T rep didn't know what she was talking about.

pretty sure that's not true, our you would have heard a mass of **** from the online world, especially the new iPhoners. you just got a CSR who didn't know what they were talking about
Called AT&T... was told my grandfathered plan would remain unlimited when/if I choose to upgrade my phone.
If this had become their policy, I think we would have seen this posted & screamed about already... thinking that the person you talked to didn't understand what you were saying, or was just a moron.

Good point. I was so pissed. I'm going to call back tomorrow and talk to a different person. They better be right.
I have a US Naval Federal Account so they can't remove or modify anything without talking to my IT guy.
I'm a sales rep at At&t this is not true...and mostly incorrect word of mouth. Nothing down the pipeline of csr info and simulations of anything close to explaining away a unlimited data not being available to existing customers a BB and iPhone and a messaging phone I did yesterday alone all had the unlimited data two up another equip change so. No when your told something remotely like this situation explained, that is when you hang up and call again. Though any New Lines on existing plans or straight new can not get unlimited data minus other referred methods available via search.

Hi Mikeylee I feel your pain bro. I thought the airrave would be a good solution. Sometimes though I could be the messanging app's fault. Sometimes the app would mess up and I would have to clear the data in the messaging app or worst case reflash the rom again. Before my phone can send text messages again. I believe the APN get messed up sometimes.
Is your roaming set to Sprint Only when you're connected to the AirRave? I made that mistake before....

Some people need to calm down. If you are having texting problems, do a profile update. Try a different messaging app. If that fails, wipe and go back to stock. No reason to get yourself in a tizzy.

Exactly. And as I understand it, the AirRave only compensates for data, not the voice signal, which is what basic texts use to transmit.
You could have your phone glued direcly to the AirRave, which could be connected directly to a T3 trunk line, but if you have no Sprint coverage, you still won't be able to make a phone call or send a basic text. (YouTube streaming would be pretty amazing, though...)

When I had an airrave my only complaint is if you came into the house while on a call th airrave interferred with the signal and made the phone call all choppy and I would have to hang up and call back. Other than that it worked like it was suppose to.
