Cell phones: How to get a Pre or Hero w/o losing my Sprint corp. plan?
How to get a Pre or Hero w/o losing my Sprint corp. plan?
by Jivedaddy - 10/4/09 9:18 PMI'm in a quandry. I have a corporate plan from Sprint and am currently using a Palm Centro (2 yrs. now). I want to switch to a Pre or maybe a Hero, but Sprint wants me to drop my corporate plan (about $30 per month) and go with a Everything plan (about $100 per month). My corporate plan includes unlimited data and 3000 min. per month, that's hard to give up. Any suggestions from someone that's dealt w/ this same issue? I know I could buy a Pre outright and it would run (full functionality) on my current plan, but that's like $500.
So your payback time is ...

500 / (100 - 30) = 7 months. That's a good investment, I'd say.

There's no way around this

Call the RETENTION DEPARTMENT

This will get their attention. Tell them that if you can't get the newer phone for the same plan, you WILL LEAVE SPRINT FOREVER!!! They will pretty much do whatever it takes to keep you from leaving! Good luck!
really??
