Early Sprint termination?

From my knowledge, constant roaming can reault in Sprint terminating your contract. Is it possible to use roam control to get out of a contract? Lmao. I was just curious as this thought occured recently. I like sprint and wont do this!

perhaps. although you'll get at least one letter asking you to knock it off first

From what I hear, you not only get out of your contract, but you are awarded a nice 5 year ban as well.
Not willing to test that theory since I prefer sprint.

I roamed for 2 months straight while I was in upstate NY with my hero. They never said anything. The online statement had my data usage in red tho lol

i dont know about the 5 year ban..but yes they kick you out if you use a looooot of roaming for 2-3 months
I remember seeing somewhere that if you use more than 50% of your data in roaming for 2 months they cancel your contract..no ETF
some get a letter, some dont.

Is this due to the fact that sprint doesnt charge for roaming? I am always being forced into roaming around my area and i live in a "huge" sprint area.

Not sure, but you can easily leverage them into a free Airave CDMA hotspot. They overnighted me the hardware for free and it costs me no money per month. I have two Epics in the household and only had to speak to a couple of representatives to make it happen.
As a result my battery life at home is much better, and no more roaming.

I have received said letter recently because my sister in law is at college in a non-sprint area. That was about four months ago and they still haven't terminated her line. So I have no idea if they actually go through with it or not.

Use the Verizon PRL. Roam Control will give you slow, 1x data. If you use the Verizon PRL hack, you'll get full 3G, which means you'll use data a LOT faster. The ban makes sense, but if you're leaving Sprint, why does it matter?
Also, they might take your phone number, but I'm sure they give you a warning beforehand to find another carrier, so you might be able to port it over, or at least to Google Voice first.

pics or it didnt happen

My buddy came from the middle of Minnesota and moved to Wisconsin in some area with no coverage andwas always roaming. They called him telling him that he was usng to much roaming, so he let them cancel it and went with a different carrier. He was happy though because he could not stand the battery on the epic, which I have haha. O well hope this helps!

It said exactly what a poster earlier said. If you use more than 50% of your data while roaming they reserve the right to terminate service on that line free of any ETF's. My wife called and said she was in college and we were helping her out by paying for her phone. Maybe that worked, I have no idea. Maybe they'll cut off her service today...honestly I hope they just leave it alone.

So you can sign up for a new account, roam like nuts, have the account canceled and sell the phone to make profit.
I'm going to test this ' if you roam too much, you're canceled'.
I'm going to use roam control and only roam next service period.
Anybody know of an app I can download to keep a constant data transfer going to rack up some gigs?

Verizon PRL Hack - Just Don't

I don't know how many of you have been kicked off for this (doubt anybody has as not one of you that do use the hack have ever potsed about it finally working) but please stop doing it, all youre doing is upping the costs for everyone. To get kicked off the network we all know you have to constantly roam (excessive roaming) however Sprint will still check and require proof of address to have your ETF waived, once they see you're constantly roaming in a coverage area you will still get stuck with the ETF. Just a heads up, we all complain about prices going up but there's also tons of people that participate in making costs go up.

Sprint's data service is so bad that many find it as essential. If I pay $10 for a PREMIUM data add on, I expect premium data not 200-500 kbps. I've yet to do the PRL hack but everything is so damn slow. Downloading apps used to take a couple of seconds now it takes a couple of minutes.

He's talking about people that use it to get out of paying the etf...for instance they download torrents 247 just to get excessive roam instead of just using it for Verizon coverage...I read it pretty clear, don't know what's wrong with everyone

i totally 100% agree with the op

i kinda agree but then again i understand why they are doing it been fighting with data speeds to the point i thought about doing the prl hack to get released from my 5 phone contract

I just hate to see good things come to an end because of a select few. Prices are going to go up, no doubt, but there's no sense in having them go up faster. It's a lose-lose situation. Customers get less for their money and employee's get less (benefits).

so, what you're bringing to my attention is that there is a way to get out of my contract without an etf?
this is news to me and probably several others. I had no idea there was a vzw prl hack. can you explain in great detail how this is done and what I should search Google for?
oh wait I guess you just did in the OP.
thanks.

Or you can educate them that by doing this hack you won't be let go ETF free as proof of address is still required to have ETF waived.

Although I see where you're going with this, we are a very small percentage of the Evo owners. And a smaller amount of rooted Evo owners that actually user this hack. I know quite a few Evo owners that don't even want to root their phone, one of them being my wife. If Sprint set their plans up like TMO, where I could bring a paid off phone to their network and pay less monthly since I wasn't on a subsidized phone then it would different. Rates are determined partially about how providers will recover phone costs, and that is the ETF (obviously), but what about all the people that have paid there phone off by contract and continue to pay the same rates. This came to my attention, or rather opened my eyes when I wanted to add my daughter on our family plan with a blackberry that I had laying around. And even though it was paid off, it still required a 2 year activation..WTF...i didn't understand when I wasn't buying a subsidized phone, since I wanted the ability to shut the phone off for grades, behavior, etc. I mean why would I be responsible for etf for a phone that wasn't subsidized. I wish a plan similar to TMO would come to other providers.

You can start a line without a contract if you bring your own phone, don't let anyone tell you any different.

I encourage you to call Sprint yourself and clarify that. That is not the case when adding a new line. I can activate a phone under my line and not affect my contract, but adding a line is different.

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?

I honestly dont care. I moved to tmobile to get away from the lies, trickery, and robbery. Turns out they are a company just like att with worse service.
I was made many promises before my contract, not one of them were true. Now I'm locked in my contract and they won't even try to make anything right even though all the proof given. They just say, "sorry there is nothing we can do for you, and we are not obligated to fulfill the promises the representatives gave you. We are truly sorry you were lied to."
I've heard that line 8 times from managers! I've given up, I'm finishing up my contract or canceling when the money becomes available and moving to verizon. At least ill have the services I pay for.
So far I've noticed that most companies dont care about right or wrong, only who gets the benefits. Sooner this is learned, the less hard life will be.

AT&T may have bad customer service, but their coverage sure wrecks T-Mobile's.
I borrowed my friend's SIM a few weeks ago when I was going on a trip to Washington DC (from Dallas), and I wanted to have 3G where we went.
My mom's Vibrant, was constantly losing 3G signal.
My Vibrant, running on the 1900 band on AT&T, lost 3G signal ONCE for about 15 seconds, then came back.
Only thing with AT&T is, that their plans are expensive
(funny story, I went to a AT&T store to see how much a plan would be with them, and apparently, their texting plan offers unlimited Mobile to Mobile (who uses land lines except doctors, and offices?), and for 700 minutes, unlimited texting (with basically unlimited minutes), and 2GB data (never go over 1GB anyways, and I save $5!), I would pay $150 for 2 lines. That is $110 off what I pay now with T-Mo, and that's a DAMN good save)
and their customer service is bad.
They aren't that bad, and I am switching to AT&T because of that story.

Hotspot data limited

I see the news that Sprint is doing away with unlimited hotspot. I use the wifi tether app to provide a hotspot for my laptop in the field.
How can i see how much data I'm using while tethering?
I`m getting the itch more and more to go to Verizon. Sprint cell service is very spotty, there becoming more like the rest, and their 4G sucks and it will be another year and a half before we can see any change from them with LTE.
Would this change in the data be grounds for me to cancel due to change in the contract?

If you are rooted and using wifi tether, this "shouldn't" affect that, as that app makes it seems like its the phone using the data. What sprint is after is the people using the Sprint Hotspot app.

While capping data use on its 3G network to 3GB, 5GB, or 10GB per month, Sprint has continued to offer unlimited 4G service. Now, the cap for each of these plans will cover the subscriber's combined monthly data use on both 3G and 4G. All data use above the cap will cost 5 cents per megabyte.
The monthly allowance for data use while roaming on non-Sprint networks will be 100MB for the 3GB plan and 300MB for the other two plans, with each megabyte over those caps charged at 25 cents.
For Mobile Hotspot plans on phones, data usage will be capped at 5GB per month of either 3G or combined 3G/4G service, depending on whether the phone can use 4G. Use above that cap will be charged at 5 cents per megabyte. Those plans will have a 300MB monthly cap for data roaming.

And?
I'm not going to search your previous posts.
All I know is you tried to peddle this bull**** idea that these companies are just swimming in cash.
Its so stupid.
People make comments like "these CEOs make millions a year, they can afford xy abuse/exploit"
Okay...and do you think that CEO is going to lose out on his pay because of that abuse?
NOPE.
Guess who does? The customer and low level employees.
Always always always.
Everything is interconnected.
For all the fools that force a carrier to give em a different model because their OEM phone can't be rooted after an update, or those that abuse prls, or those that demand credits because a device that is known to have an issue and you didn't return it within the 14 days, or people downloading 50GB of month in torrents on their wireless connection...the only one you're hurting is the customer. (Yourself)
Everyone wants to ***** and whine about loss of benefits, limiting of data, the loss of the ability to get a different model when its necessary for valid reasons ....WELL THEN STOP ABUSING the system.
Because abuse is truly what is causing a loss of those benefits.
You can "screw" whatever corporation you want...problem is...the CEOs, the board, the higher ups...they won't even notice the difference.
People gotta start focusing on the bigger picture.
This isn't about being on some "high horse" or being "self righteous" or whatever negative connotation that you can attach to it.
It's about the realization that everything is truly interconnected and that we customers are the ones screwing ourselves.

Umm, do YOU remember the argument? It is WIDELY known the 10 dollar fee is for Premium Data, NOT just for 4g. EVERY smartphone has a 10 dollar fee now, not just 4g phones. So your argument that the 10 dollars is for 4g is stupid.
