Free TP2
Hey guys. I've seen many threads on here about you guys getting the latest and greatest phones for free by complaining about your current ones. Well here's my story, let me know what you think:
I had a Mogul and the keyboard messed up, and since they weren't carrying them anymore they forced me to take a TP, which I didn't want. I don't like this phone at all and I was planning on keeping my Mogul until the next HTC phone (after TP) was released. Well the TP arrived and the keyboard stopped working altogether. They sent another and it did the same. They sent another and it did the same. And again. Im on my 4th TP. And not too long ago the keyboard stopped working on it, but worked again after a reset, but that was a symptom on the last ones before they gave out permanently. Do you guys think I have a case here to demand a new TP2 for free, or maybe at a drastically reduced price? (I know I'm eligible for upgrade but I don't wanna restart a contract and STILL have to pay $350, I've been out of contract for over 2 yrs.) Also, since I'm on an old employee plan I pay less than $45/month for 3000 anytime minutes, unlimited everything else, and $50 worth of free DLs/subcription each month. So i'm thinkin threatening to terminate wouldn't be too strong a threat. What do you guys think? |
Re: Free TP2
as soon as you renew your off employee plan. tehy will catch it. as for 2yr and pay 350...fight...I got mine for 150.

Re: Free TP2
i dont think they will do it, but who knows.... i wish my keyboard would stop working lol im on my 6th tp but this refurb they sent me is all jacked up and they wont send anymore. lol
i took it in to the sprint store and they said they cant replace it because of the screen so im just gonna wait till the keyboard stops working again.... i know it will lol |
Re: Free TP2
I would keep calling customer service and complain. I had the instinct phone and it kept freezing up on me. I had to take it to the Sprint store 5 times in one week. I was so sick of them I kept calling and complaining about it. I told them that I wanted to drop my plan from the unlimited everything to the cheapest plan that they had or cancel my contract, they got a supervisor from tier 3 (I think) on the phone and she talked to me for an hour and got me the phone I wanted. It took me a month to get them right and to get what I wanted. They don't like happy customer's so you are going to have to fight for it cause that is what I had to do. GL!

Re: Free TP2
just call and explain the troubles to them and than see what they can do for you.... if you dont get the answer that you are looking for than hang up and try someone else.

Re: Free TP2
I called and made a fuss. I told them I'm on my 4th TP cuz the keyboards keep goin out and I dont want a TP anymore and the dumb girl keeps recommending to connect me to tech support to troubleshoot. What part of "dont want a TP anymore" suggests let's try to get it working again. She basically hung up on me (transferred call while I was still talking). Escalations called and left a message still suggesting I contact tech support. These ppl just don't get it. So I emailed eCare. No response yet. We'll see where this goes.

"Let me take this opportunity to assist you. Your phone has qualified for all the rebates including the $150.00 instant rebate. You can buy any phone at the online price which is equivalent to the cost of activating a new line. For example, the regular price of HTC Touch Pro2 phone is $599.99; after instant saving of $180.00 and mail-in rebate of $100.00 this phone will cost you $349.99." This is what I replied... "No, this is not an acceptable solution. As I noted in my email I WILL NOT ENTER BACK INTO CONTRACT so I will not use my eligibility for upgrade. Also I will not PAY more money to receive a working device when I have already paid for a device I should be able to expect to work properly. If I wanted to do that I could purchase the device from and move my service to T-Mobile or Verizon Wireless and purchase the for that amount or less, and also not deal with a company that expects its customers to pay more to get a reliable device when they are sold bad ones. Once again, I am requesting that you swap my Touch Pro for a Touch Pro 2. If I have to enter into a CONTRACT and PAY for the device, IT WILL NOT BE WITH SPRINT." I'm waiting for their reply to that. But like I said in the first post, I pay less than 45/month for unlimited everything so I'm not sure how afraid they are of losing me. |

Re: Free TP2
Man, this is going nowhere. I just spoke to a retentions person who actually told me that Sprint DOES NOT replace phones for different devices without extending contracts, tho i personally have seen it happen many times. They even did it for me before! Then I spoke with her supervisor, who was more cordial, who actually told me Sprint would rather lose a customer than swap a device! REDICULOUS!
Do you think Assurion might be willing to do something about it since they're the ones who keep sending me the Touch Pros? |

Re Re Free TP2
Already posted this on another thread, but since this is my own thread guess I should provide some closure. Sprint has ordered my TP2, should be here in a few days.

Re: Free TP2
call and ask for the retention department. once you get them on the line state your complaint.....they are there to help and regardless of being on an employee plan they dont want to loose a customer.... a good friend of mine just got the blackberry tour inplace of the pro because the pro 2 is on back order.....

Re Free TP2
I just got a free upgrade to the TP2 today...I was having some problems with my TP for the last few months...finally went into the verizon store yesterday last thursday(I have an alltel phone/contract) and they didn't even argue with me about sending me a new TP. Actually he brought me over to the counter looked up my information and said well your new TP should be arriving monday. I was amazed lol. Well I got the new one in and it worked great for 2.5 days and I went back today and they said to call the 1800 number so I did and they couldn't find the alltel TP anywhere and the system showed the phone I should get instead as the verizon TP2 so she set it all up and my new TP2 should be here monday xD. I tried to get her to send me the droid...she laughed and said I was cute but said she knows they're not released yet lol. I'm pretty excited.

Re: Free TP2
Hi, i just experienced a similar situation with Sprint, i had the Mogul...and took it into the Sprint store...they gave me 3 back to back to back dudd/defective refurbished moguls. i finally got tired of the BS, ( i was actually happy w/my mogul and just wanted a working one)....anyways...i was connected to a department called PREMIERE CARE---after telling the rep my story she stated that by signing a new 2 yr agreement i can get any phone of my choice FREE. Needless to say i picked the TP2.
so, i think if you get poor service and repeated defective phones from Sprint you can finagle the same deal i did. |
Re: Free TP2
I took my Touch pro in last week friday for repair and was told they would be replacing my phone. To my surprise, when i picked up my phone last night it was a TP2.

Re: Free TP2
My phone is starting to act up. I have not taken it to a Sprint store yet but was wondering if I could bypass that and just talk to CS about my phone resetting at night while charging and today it was froze and I had to hard reset to get it back functioning. Worth a shot??
