Guess they are finally valuing their service quality at zero dollars!! Having unfortunate experience of being a sprint customer, I wholeheartedly concur with the valuation of their service.

Hi! I have ten specific questions that only pertain to my individual circumstances. I epitomize laziness and my sense of entitlement is impervious to reason. Therefore it is the responsibility of anyone and everyone who reads this to find the answers to my questions.

Quote from luckygecko :
I'm enjoying it. I have an Amazon Echo in my car for streaming music. My car has OnStar hotspot that is serviced via ATT. They charge $25 unlimited, $10 for 1gb. ATT service either has data or is turned off. Sprint unlimited low speed. I'm yet to hit low speed to see if audio streaming still works.

So the price is good. Although the car has a built in cell service that has better antenna , etc. the Sprint Drive offers car tracking included which is a different add on service with OnStar. Sprint Drive seems to use from iits data pool for this tracking reporting though.

Of note, with the Sprint dongle I stalled, OnStar remote diagnostic reporting reports an error because another dionostic device is installed.
Many thanks for the insight. Anyway, I did cancel it already, though I want to give it a try...for $10/mon.

I added "via port out port in of course" to my post in case that was not obvious..
"Or you can just move your phone onto your wife's plan for the 45 days, via port out port in of course".

I thought he understood it well enough already but maybe not......he is not explaining why he is rejecting that solution so I cannot tell what he understands and does not understand.
it is becoming obvious that whats is obvious to u and me and a handful of others is obviously not obvious to most

off topic but I finally sold some of those old R+ phones. Got $30 for Boost Tribute II and $40 for Virgin Mobile LG Volt. Both passed BYOSD device at qlink, a new EBT foodstamp phone carrier. Free data like Safelink but easier to BYOSD.

You get what you pay for. I just got this deal. Switched from Verizon. Since, I'd say 70% of my calls have dropped in the middle of a conversation. I live in Dallas, so no excuse for that. When the free period is over I'm switching back.

Once you open it there would be a substantial restocking fee, even if you return it within 14 days.

Not until then?
It is usable for you even if it drops 70% of your calls?

I do not recall that I have ever had a dropped call.

Are you using some obsolete phone?

Hi Desi,

I posted this incident yesterday on this thread, but didn't get much response. I was recently charged $83 ( $63 overcharge, I have been paying $20 for 5 lines since last Feb.) First I thought it was device protection I failed to cancel, but it wasn't. The charge was due to my porting out lines to Metro for the 6s deal, though the lines were ported back to sprint within a day or two, the system somehow treated as if I added extra lines, and this caused the charges. Here is the bill breakdown:

PLANS
Added: Dec 18 - Jan 06
Unlimited - Bring Your Phone - Unlimited Talk, Text & Data
$22.17
Added: Dec 18 - Jan 06
$5 AutoPay Plan Discount - Unlimited - Bring Your Phone
-$3.17
Next Month: Jan 07 - Feb 06
Unlimited - Bring Your Phone - Unlimited Talk, Text & Data
$5.00
Next Month: Jan 07 - Feb 06
$5 AutoPay Plan Discount - Unlimited - Bring Your Phone
-$5.00
Unlimited-Bring Your Phone Unlimited Talk, Text & Data
$0.00
Total for CLAUDIA ZAG, (732) 221-9309
$19.00

I called yesterday regarding this issue and was told that they would credit $60 back, but I didn't see the credit on my account and wondering if I should wait or bug them again. Hope someone could guide me. Thanks.

my guess is that it is most certainly user error.
this is the case most of the time.
but when folks start with nonsense like "u get what u pay for" etc...i am much less inclined to help out with suggestions like:
1. make sure the phone has appropriate bands
2. make sure it is factory restored remove any old inf from previous carrier
3. carrier update, prl update, profile update

but instead.
better to respond
"adios"

Hey Ho, yup, came up short with the Seahawks this year. I never give up on them. I haven't looked into the Qlink needy phone, maybe NW region only. Friend did Tracfone on Safelink with the new Samsung J3 Pro, Verizon I think.

What has it been, like 2-3yrs since R+ demise? Those phones still held their value for the right person. I refused to take a loss on those $20 phones so held onto them until more catch on and the right MVNOs come along. Good to see TELLO still going, I'm still using their paygo on some backup phones, never expires.

Quote :
This year, get Double Data for the next 6 Months if you sign up to Tello between 10-16 January. Double the data in any plan you choose, at the same price. This offer is for newcomers only. Keep the same phone plan for the 6 month period in order to keep the double offer.
Haven't heard back from the CL buyers so assume they worked out well. Meet nice people that way, working poor like me. Off season so need to watch the budget, just did some pruning today for the exercise and some fun money. Sunshine is just too rare now to sit around.

Generally speaking, way too much.

https://support.sprint.com/suppor...al/calling

There is a 6 month free offer but it does not apply to this plan.

However, they might give it to you for $5 a month.

Or free if you get lucky according to some people.

Try asking. There are some unpublished offers.

Okay so why is it different signing of that day and it's not okay siding the day before. Look you agree to some terms when you signed up you need to stick to them. If you want another two months pour it out and put it back in really that simple

Edit,

You talk about being rude. Let me remind you that the first post of yours that I responded to you started out with the word "shit" . need I say more

Hey man, I called and asked and they gave me the extra two months no question.

You should call Jobo and Jane doe and let them know. LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

How dare you gave up hope on R+. I heard that Karl will be back once he finish burning $$$ on his yacht. The Russian tracker that we put on him is still beeping. He is somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle Big Grin
