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.

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.
Wow!!! That really sucks big time :S BIG TIME....I really hate this.

I'm more pissed because I go 10 years gold in November which would have set my upgrade to January 1. Woosah!

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."

That is totally GACHO ! This was one of the major benefits of staying with Sprint all these past 7 years ..... they better NOT change the unlimited data or they will lose customers because that is another main reason for choosing Sprint !
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.

Seriously Texas? u just had to bring in the inside joke?lol
Ok so I had an Evo I was excited with the 4G I liked it for a while, but then after a 1 1/2 years the thing started to flake out. Well with my phone flaking out, and very limited 4G coverage I made the switch to Verizon. With one problem, what about unlimited data? I had to have unlimited data. So this is how I got unlimited data! Which wasn't being offered anymore.
Well thanks to XDA I found a super sweet hook up. This guy named VIP Nick got me Unlimited Data on my Verizon account for $30 a month, even though it's not offered anymore! He's one of very few in the country that can hookup accounts with unlimited data. Because he mainly works with Business accounts, and VIP accounts. Though he'll work with individual and family plan accounts too. Which I like because Verizon has a lot better 4G Coverage!
So I thought I'd spread the word to the XDA community if your looking to make the switch and want a new phone and get Unlimited Data email him at
Verizon.Unlimited.data @ g m a i l . c o m
subject - Unlimited Data XDA
I am Very Happy Now!
ThankYOU XDA! I love this site.

Beware unintended consequences...
I told My Coworker about this, as he recently switched to VZW when amazon was giving phones away for a penny, He got a phone call like 10 minutes after sending him an Email and will have unlimited data on his and his wifes phone in the next day or two.

No this guy is legit. His company has an exclusive contract with Verizon. I've talked with Verizon's business department and confirmed it. Everything is good with this hook up! He's hooked up several of my friends too, very professional!

P.S Verizon doesn't throttle speeds it's rumor... Very rarely only in extremely high trafficked area's like the super bowl etc.. I've used 60 gig this past month ran a bit torrent non stop and no throttling, sure a few fluctuations but still very fast.
I cannot beleive this without proof or evidence. Your just trying to lure people in to make commusion.

Well after probably 3 years of getting a 23% discount from my previous employer sprint is now asking for employment verification. So the one thing that was keeping on sprint will now be lost on Sept 26th. Looks like it's time to make the switch to Verizon. Anyone else get the message asking for verification or is it just something they do after x amount of time?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Not yet. Been on employment discount for about 1.5 years...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I have been getting it for about 3 years and no questions yet
I got a message on the website that I assume is about that but it was very cryptic.
Your Sprint service discount requires proof of eligibility, which you may be asked to provide to continue participation in the program.

I assume it is talking about the employee discount. Where did you see a date mentioned?

This is something that they do randomly. They have always done it in one fashion or other. I had to do it a couple years ago, and they just called me.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I got the text yesterday, and gave them my e-mail, but I still have yet to receive that e-mail on my work address.
Yeah, for the first 10yrs i had sprint, I was on a retail employee plan ($15 a month) even though i hadn't always worked in retail. they called me twice in that 10yrs asking about if i was still working for xxxx and that there were "better" plan options now etc. With t-mobile going back to truly unlimited data, i may be switching....
I got it too yesterday and have had the discount 2 years (didn't know about it earlier as I had a military discount until then).
On another forum, a Sprint CSR is advising you only need to re-verify when you *upgrade your phone.*
Sprint inadvertently sent out the text to everyone. I just got another text today:
"We unintentionally sent you an SMS message yesterday regarding your Sprint discount. Please disregard. No action is needed."
Got another text today indicating yesterday's text was an error and no further action was needed.

I got one as well. A message when I login to Sprint and then I got a text a few days ago. However I am legit so I can verify my discount :laugh:
So like... you're complaining and want to switch carriers because for three years you've been getting a discount for a company you haven't even still been employed with, and Sprint wants verification rather than just letting you continue to get a discount that hasn't applied in years for you?
Go to Verizon. You deserve to pay more.

That's the thing if I wasn't getting this discount by the time I applied my current employers discount for Verizon I'd be paying less just not unlimited data, which is fine for me because I'm on wifi 70% of the time anyway.

Regardless, you are essentially stealing from Sprint... and whether they know that or not, their profits are hurt by it. I can guarantee that you're not the only one, so while your impact alone may not be much, every thief adds up. Losses like that are always passed on to the customer, so you are slowly but surely hurting the rest of us. Thanks, buddy

Hey there,
I just thought I would share this with you people. I work for a carrier (don't even bother asking which one ) and we received our test unit today!!! It's the grey version and it looks totally awesome. The screen real-estate is just outta this world. I put it side to side with my S3 and looking at them, I became a bit pissed at my purchase as when the Note 2 was announced, I had thought that we would never carry it (ok, I've already said enough)!
I'm sorry I can' really say much but I had it in my hands for about 5 mins...! It was a 16gb model. I witnessed popup s note, popup browser (NICE), the new menu when you pull the pen out...oh yeah and this thing is FAST!
I have no idea about the release date (they wouldn't tell us), although I find it a bit strange that we are receiving a unit so soon. I've read on several sites that it would be next November...!

Just to way in, if memory serves the 3 support chat lied to me several times saying the note 2 they sold was lte compatible when only Orange sold the n7105.
Be it miss information to them, or a fraudulent sale, I don't intend to ask them anything speculative anytime soon.
