I finally got into this deal. But when I check my first bill, it shows that the plan is "Unlimited Basic", and is charging me $60 for that. (It says "$64.82 will be charged to your card on Aug 23")

I wonder if they sign me up for the wrong plan? Or the promotion is applied later?

Here's the plan info:

Unlimited Plan

Unlimited Talk, Text and Data.
Line 1: $65; Line 2: $45; Lines 3-10: $25.
Eligible for $5 AutoPay discount on lines 1-10.
DVD-quality Streaming.
500MB Mobile Hotspot.
International Text from US.
Sprint Global Roaming with 5GB LTE Canada/Mexico data roaming.
Available with $10/line Monthly Unlimited Plus Package: HD Streaming.
15GB Mobile Hotspot.
Sprint Global Roaming with 10GB LTE Canada/Mexico data roaming.
$5 AutoPay Plan Discount
$60.00/mo. for 1 devices

That is not the free plan.

Read back through all your emails from Sprint and see if there is anything that indicates what plan you ordered.

It's quite easy for things to go wrong because the TeleSales number handles orders for many different plans.

In any case you will need to straighten it out. I suggest calling Account Services at 1-888-211-4727 to start with. They can adjust accounts in certain cases. This is not the same as Customer Service or TeleSales or Chat. They may refer you elsewhere but I think they are more responsive than other departments if they will take the issue.

If you are within two weeks you should be able to cancel the paid plan from the start retroactively with no cost and that would definitely be an Account Services responsibility.

But regardless do not it it linger. If you are getting nowhere in a day or two at most port out and fight over it later. Lou suggests contacting Executive VP Marci Carris [email protected] right away.

If another SSN is used, all of that person's information has to line up and match the SSN. They are applying, not you.

You have not given enough info on the circumstances to comment.
