I was looking at my account today, and realizing that between my wife and I we use VERY FEW minutes altogether.
The overwhelming majority, and I am talking about 90-95% of our calls are either off-peak or mobile to mobile.
What I am wondering is what is the best way for me to go about lowering this bill. We have 1500 minutes, plus all the unlimited stuff Sprint offers.
I want to keep the unlimited Data, but am not terribly concerned about anything else.
Ideas? Anything at all would be greatly appreciated aside from calling me names and questioning my humanity
I'm not a Sprint employee (soon to be one), but I have found that the 1500 minute plan is the cheapest plan that includes the mobile to mobile talk (I looked into this a few weeks back for myself) and found that there's not really any other options. There is no plan less than 1500 minutes that includes data and text.

If you want to keep data, text messages then you are on the best plan for you two. Trust me.
Yup, I'm with the other guys as well. I'm on the exact same plan for that reason, and we don't come close to using 1500 minutes, even though we don't have a landline.

I work for Sprint corporate and I hate to say it, but the $129.99 Shared Everything Data Plan 1500 Minute one is the lowest plan you may have if you have one or more smartphones or one of the 3 Samsung Instinct Series devices on your wireless account with us. If you don't already have an NVP discount on it, you may wish to stop by one of our retail stores to inquire on how you may qualify for one of these discounts.

Yeah, you can get any corporate discount without having to sign a new contract. You should be able to do it through your employer (or where ever you get your discount from) and it will take effect without a new contract.
All else fails...call Sprint and have them work it out.
I've got a Citibank discount of 27% off, but it's only on the main line and my bill is still $178/month on 1500 minute shared. (I have 4 lines total.)

I'm sure most people know about corporate discounts but for those that don't, check with your employer and your college (if you went) to see if they have an agreement for corporate discounts. My company gets 10% off and through my college I get 15% off. Even alumni are eligible for the discount. I obviously use the discount from my school. (just got laid off so couldn't use the one from work anyways)
That could save you a lot of money on some plans. However, the discounts only apply to contracted plans. The non-contract plans are not eligible for corporate discounts.

If you sign up for AMWAY global you get 12% discount on t mobile. Its only 50 dollars a year but you need referral which is very easy. If anything I can refer you. I save about $20 a month. I only spend 50 a year. Multiply 20 x 12(months) that's 240 - 50, that's $190 a year I save!! And if you have higher rates like family plans you can save even more!!!

It was a super-cheap plan that was, if I'm correct, supposed to be for people who were referred by sprint employees. But at one point in time, Sprint allowed almost anyone on. I have it - $30 for 450 minutes, unlimited data and text but no free Sprint navigation or TV - I kept one line for my daughter.
Then, Sprint decided no smartphones on SERO so a lot of people griped and complained. Now, it looks like they are allowing smartphones on SERO after all.
Now I have to see if I can switch back as well. I also want to see if I can still add a line.
SERO Premium just started today for current SERO plan holders
$40 now
500 anytime
Unl. N/W @7
Unl. Mobile to Any Mobile
Unl. Data/MMS/SMS/
*Includes Blackberry now
+$10 fee if you want a 4G phone (EVO/EPIC)
**Previous SERO Plan was dumb phone and WinMo friendly
All android plans are required to be on the new plans. the "everything" plans.
This must be a hoax... I wouldn't bother trying to waste time arguing with Sprint...

I'm considering just to keep calling and have them all put notes on my account. Figured I'll wear 'em down eventually.

Quote from sprints website: "SERO Premium rate plans will not be discountable – customers on current SERO plans receiving discounts above and beyond the already discounted SERO rate will lose those discounts when moving to a SERO premium plan. "
You might be able to keep the $20? but the 19% is probably not likely. Unless the rep screws up! Which happened for me when I had my SERO
so, if i was never on a sero account but want it now how do i get it? or am i screwed?

You can't. The only way (if possible) is to buy the plan from someone who is giving it up and they do a TOL (transfer of liability). but I'm not sure Sprint is allowing those anymore.
Even when SERO existed, you couldn't switch from a regular account to a SERO account. You had to be a new customer.
ok so i never had a Sero plan, is there some way that I can switch to a Sero???? I would be happy with the extra saved $$, specially for college!!!

I'm with you. Sprint's "Just Because" fee for fake 4G is crazy already but now for 3G?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
the thing that upsets me is they aren't changing the prices of plans, so they can still advertise the 69.99 rate for "unlimited" data. they need to just call it a 4g fee or raise the overall price of plans. I don't like the idea of charging an additional fee for a feature that's supposed to be "unlimited" in their plan rate.
That's so messed up that's what turned me away from the evo and epic was the extra fee when I wouldn't have 4g in my area anyway thank God I'm locked in for two years now I'm really going to tether as much as possible just to piss them off lmao
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Sprint actually improved their company image over the past year thanks to Android, but I think this will destroy most of, if not everything, they worked for. What a shame. In the future I will definitely consider T-Mobile as they are almost the same price and I think their HSPA+ is a much better concept than 4G.
I look at this as another excuse to get that HTC Evo upgrade
glad i went to virgin mobile. lol JK.. even with the new fee its still cheaper.. I just wish sprint would have just came out and said.. hey listen we gotta raise X fee to help improve our network or this or that. etc.. with that said I would be mad if I was still on sprint.lol
but 25 bucks a month is too hard to pass up. sure i have a crappy phone ( intercept ) but im sure virgin will get something better down the road.. etc..
But this will impact sprint in a negative light again. unless they do something. lol oh well enjoy your 80 dollar plan without 4g. lol ( for those who dont get it that is )

Extra $240, since it's a monthly fee over a 2 year contract. People never think of total cost of ownership when it comes to cell phones.
Yes, still cheaper than Verizon and AT&T.
This is the aftermath from the lawsuit in which the people filed against the fake 4g charge. Sprint said the $10 wasn't for the 4g, but for the more capable phones. Now to retaliate they are charging the fee across the board...

This.
Basically, the way I look at it, their requiring an "Everything data" plan for a smartphone should have covered this, and they should have increased the base price of the plan (for new customers only) instead of instituting this bull**** addon fee.
Second, I have no desire to move to a 4G phone - my Hero does everything I need it to. If I lose or otherwise need to replace my phone, now my bill goes up $10, even though I will be using the EXACT same phone in the EXACT same config? Since I have a family plan with 5 lines, that's a potential for $50/month.
Lastly, doing away with the 1 year upgrades for Premium members is the final straw. In the last two days, without me gaining a single iota of value, I am looking at an additional $50/month for the next 17 months (contract is up in May 2012) in addition to missing out on the $150 upgrade credit for 5 phones. This is on top of the changes they made for corporate discounts in August (which is costing me $15 more a month).
I'll be shopping for a new carrier in short order, even if it does cost me more. I'm tired of Sprint changing the rules and making up bull**** explanations, just so Hesse can have a bigger yacht.
Man sprint is on a roll this week..lol
oh well come 2012 its not gonna matter, lol
is it just me or are people missing the point?
"Sprint will increase its postpaid rates by applying a $10 per month Premium Data add-on charge to activations of smartphones beginning Jan. 30....."
For example my Hero is already activated
i also posted this in the epic forum, but since im sure a lot of you dont frequent it, i thought id post it here too. flame on!
title says it all. the admin fee is going from .99 cents per line to 1.50 per line.
all you have to do is call and (2 options) 1.) cancel and move on to a different company with no early termination fee, or 2.) try getting out of the contract and go month to month so you have more leverage to bargain for a better phone in a few months as you are now out of contract.
this is the notice that should be included in your next bill

YOU CAN FIND AN OLDER COPY OF THE CONTRACT BY COPY AND PASTING THE ADDRESS ON ARCHIVE.ORG
if you do want to cancel but want to save your phone number, try going about getting month to month, then porting out your number to a prepaid or gv, then wait 30 days, and port your number back to sprint getting new customer pricing on phones. (perhaps 3vo, sgs2 or photon for 99 bucks.)
For those of you who are considering doing the port out/ port in method you can port your number to Google Voice for free since Sprint and GV are partnered up (Thanks nkdumb24 from slickdeals.net )
personally, i wont be jacking with this. i already have upgrades available on 3 of my 4 lines and i like the prices. just sharing with the community.
Has anyone done/tried this and been successful? I know talk like this went around with some change Verizon did a.couple of months ago and they lowered another charge to keep the bill the same so people couldn't do this. I guess if someone has done this what did you say and what did you get?

I was ready to pay the ETF but when I got off the phone with the woman at Sprint she said I had a hundred and some odd dollars credit..I had know idea what she was talking about but I kept quiet. When I got my final bill it was nine dollars and some change..and thats the last bill I got! I have know idea what the credit was.
Edit..I original had purchased an Evo on the account..dont know if that matters.

Why cancel over fifty cents?

This isnt really cancelling JUST because of the price increase. This is just a way for people who wanted to get out of their contract without paying the etf, since the contract changed.
im really considering doing this , im so tired of horrible internet. I rather pay more to have internet that isnt so damn slow . but i really dont want to leave sprint....

You're ditching over slow but unlimited internet? Let me know how that goes over.

ill have to check when i go outside. I dont really go by speed test i go by real world exp , when im out and i need some info and it takes forever to come up is what bugs me. most my friends have t-mobile and i dont even bother looking up stuff cause they can grab the info seeked tons faster (minutes). I prob wont leave just thinking about it.

ok ill give u this one , i just checked my data usage . i only use like 1 gig so a data cap not a big deal to me, my wife how ever uses like 5 gigs on average with her damn spotify.
1-300 sounds terrible. Have you tried the data fixes on xda? I'd link but on the cell at the moment. I get ~500 KB/s on 1-2 bars of 4G. Anything over that is above 800. Try searching for those fixes, they helped me a lot.

When you have 4g it's a roughly 10x difference if not more. I average 7.5-9.3mb/s :3
Oh, when I first rooted my brothers phone he had bad download speeds compared to me (same ROM and kernel), but after the fixes he is comparable

whos with me ??
Just switched my plan over, 1 2 3
price stayed the same, now I can use 10-15-20 gbs a month! woot
So it stayed at 49.99 a month?
switched over yesterday and i'm spending $30 on the plan in addition to the talk and text i already have. saving $5/month now and i dont even use the wifi tethering
I'm on the value plan so im paying $5 less for going unlimited as opossed to my 5 Gigs of data
When I switched the tmo rep said the offer would only be available for a limited time, even when they discontinue the offer whoever got it will still be truly unlimited. I don't know if he was just trying to get me to upgrade the other lines though. Any who get it why it last!

Guy, you act like this is 1998, and there is no Google.
Anyone know if you can get the unlimited data plan if your getting the android preferred pricing?

Talking advantage now! Thanks! :victory:
I hate Telus. I pay 30 bucks for 6 gigs but they could care less if I tether. They even told me they have no way to check lol...I guess that's a plus. Besides I can't dent 6 gigs if I try...I live in so many wifi hotspots I never use data
I called twice to switch to their new really unlimited plan, and they both said "its the same as 5gb (the one I have), but without tethering. You'll pay $5 less, but you'll still get throttled at 5gb"
Obviously he had no idea what I was talking about. I want to switch and I can't do it from the 'my account' app. Any other way to switch? Will I have to go to the store :banghead: ?
Also, did you notice any changes in speed after switching? (even though I think you have to wait for your current data cycle to end to see the changes)

Try again and if he answers again, hang up and keep trying till you get someone else that knows that they are doing

I had a grandfathered in data plan so all of my lines are 20$ a month for 5g throttle .. But I hit that **** every month :thumbdown:
So I switched my line to the unlimited today and yeah it 10 bones more but damn its going to be nice..!!
And i was tethered to my laptop for a good 30 minutes no problems ..
I was on the 5G and the rep told me that this data plan would cost me $20.. but then again that was the four rep i talked to cause none of them knows a thing

It's $20 bucks for value plans, and $30 for Classic plans. I'm on value plan so I was paying $10 for 2g so now I'm paying $10 more for unlimited. I think its a pretty sweet deal

I'm on value plan so I was paying $25 for 5gb so now I'm paying $5 LESS for unlimited.....Now THAT is a sweet deal!:laugh:
