I have 4 different BYOD accounts setup. All except one is being charged only taxes. For the life of me I can't figure out why the 5th BYOD account is being charged a $5 monthly plan charge even though it is on autopay and ebill. Is anyone also paying the $5 per line charge in addition to the taxes?
Someone else said they were having the same problem and sprint keeps giving them the run around.

Interesting- thanks. What a pain in the behind to keep having to contact customer support to get the $5 per line charge manually credited. Funny thing is that this only affects only 1 of my 4 BYOD accounts.

Hi, I have two lines with Sprint currently. Can I transfer my lines to a prepaid phone service, and then transfer back to Sprint to get this one year free service? If yes, how long do I need to stay out of Sprint? Thanks.

There are talks of T mobile and sprint merger..happening in October.. If at all the merger does happen, what happens to this plan? Would they continue to honor this pricing for one year or is there a possibility of canceling this plan? I guess this is why sprint has been giving this offer.. To boost its user numbers to get a better deal for the merger.. I am on a mint plan for year.. Still 4 months left.. Don't want to lose out if i migrate to sprint and after the merger, they don't honor the price.

Based on one unnamed source "familiar with the matter," which describes just about everyone who has ever worked for the company. It's all just talk until one of the companies says something.

After all the airlines merged, they got to beat you up and get away with it. Now you'll go to T-Sprint store to pay your bill, they'll beat you up too.

We used to have MCI, Qwest, Nextel, Cingular and SBC over an above what we have now. Remember limited data?
Mergers are bad for consumers, competition is good for the consumers.

Ok Mr. Common Sense and Mr. Know All, mergers and acquisitions happen in all the domains and fields .. My question was if usually these kind of plans get grand fathered.. And i know the specifics can vary on case by case... And since you talk about common sense, you must be knowing well that if you don't know the answer or don't have something of value to contribute, its better to keep your mouth shut? rather than belittling other forum members?

They should be grandfathered because this is a merger, not an assets-only acquisition or a bankruptcy. In a share-exchange merger, the new company has to honor all prior obligations of either company.

This plan, unlike many others, was explicitly stated to have fixed price for a year (close to free), They could change the price for other plans that do not have an explicit time period. However they could limit this plan to the same access it had when offered, so they could charge for any upgrade needed to access what were T-Mobile towers.

Come on .

Based on your previous post I would think you know better.


All these things have clause, prices /terms are subject to change any time. Especially since there is no contract. Even if there was, u cannot account for a company dissolving.

Just ask all the RP folks. ...lol

My statement stands.

Someone with common sense, would understand what the company going forward will look like will be dictated by the terms of the merger. Which is way above the pay grade of most people here.

I encourage you to Use your brain once in a while....there I hope that was nice enough for you..

Only the iPhone 7 and if it was a Verizon model. The att and T-Mobile are actually gsm only phones. You could resell your phones on eBay or swappa is eBay I do. On eBay they sell rather fast.

As for deals I suggest used phones. You can bring any sprint branded post paid phone. There are a lot of good deals on eBay to be found and sprint phones are the cheapest actually. All my phones I buy online we bought a IPhone 6s Plus 16gb for $250 and a IPhone 6s for $230 that was mint.
