Contract Renewal Question

Ok so Im eligible for a two year contract renewal offer but not until December 16! However, I really want the Touch Pro now but dont want to have to pay full price. Is there anything I could do so that they would allow me to renew my contract early and be able to get the touch pro at 299??

Any help is appreciated.

Re: Contract Renewal Question

Possibly call sprints retention line and request to get the touch pro with an early contract renewal sounds in order

do a search for sprint direct numbers here and you will find the number.... and yes even through telesales if you want to extend your contract you will be able to and pay the 375.99 minus the $100-150 dollar rebate as well as the renewal istant rebate...... if that doesnt work than try retentions and be stern with them and you will get anything that you want..... be sure to show off with the lingo and show them that you do know what you are talking about.

all you have to do is do the research on what features that you were supposed to have on your phone that arent working correctly and just complain about those.... bluetooth, internet troubles and needing it to work since you use gps everyday for your job, etc....

Re: Contract Renewal Question

I'm wondering if this would work at alltel. Unfortunately I just signed with them in June.

Re: Contract Renewal Question

Yeah, Sprint will do almost anything to keep customers because of how bad their churn rate is. Oh and by the way I got it through the store. Turns out that after placing my order when they send the tracking email I checked and the TP was on backorder. So I called to cancell my order, the lady said if I could find it in a store to buy it there and they would honor the price that the Telesales dept game me. So I did and they did!

Re: Contract Renewal Question

Well I knew it would be to good to be true! and sure enough Sprint ****ed me over! Turns out that intead of refunding my check card for the one I had order through telesales and cancelled, they are just trying to give me a credit to my sprint account! Thats total BS! I have called and complained and they told me they will see what they can do but it will take 3-5 days. In the meanwhile I dont have any money cuz I had paid with my visa check card and they pretty much charged me for the phone twice and didnt give me my money back! Im so pissed off at sprint it makes me want to cancell my contract! Now I see why they are loosing customers up the ass!

I renewed my contract back in June, and got a mogul....for free ;-). If I'd have known the TP was coming out only 4 months later I would have waited. Now I have an obsolete phone with a sloppy slide keyboard and a loose/flaky usb port. Think that would get me a trade up for a TP?

call back and tell them that you want a check sent to you for the balance on your account.... they have to do it.

Re: Contract Renewal Question

I called them back and they said they would send a check but it will take up to 10 days to receive! Not only that they will only refund the credit after taking out the amount for this months bill -which is not even due-. Sprint really ****ed me over this time. I cancelled the order Thursday, I expected to have a refund within 2-3 days (what it should take) because I need to pay bill this Friday! Now I dont have money to pay my bills.

Dude, sorry to hear you're going through so much trouble. But this is probably the best opportunity to call retentions believe it or not. Before you didn't know what to say, now you have more than a valid reason to demand whatever you want. I'd call them right now tell them to "put Barak Obama on the phone because I'm so pissed at how you (sprint) mislead and inconvenienced me, and all I wanted was a good qaulity phone at a reasonable price.... but YOU can't even get that right, now what are YOU going to do to fix it...." follow that up with..."you know what, let me speak to your supervisor- right NOW...." And really let them have it. If you really want to get into the reps' head, have your wife or girlfriend there, and say "honey take the phone because this person is pissing me off, and let her scream on them for awhile". You know, take turns like a tag team match, you hold them while she comes off the top turn buckle. Make a ridiculous demand like I want 6 months free and a free phone and a trip to mars with amenities and see where it goes. The barter system still exists.


All jokes aside, I hope things work out for you.
