I just noticed this... has anyone else noticed this? I personally don't work there but a friend does but if sprint will remove it. Their 3G isn't worth it and ill move over to t-mobile prepaid ;D

Really? still getting your discount? I hope sprint isn't trying to find an excuse to get shafted by costumers that are post paid.. they aren't exactly the greatest in my area ;p
btw found this on another forum by corys00
"Since the end of July any time a line is upgraded on an account with a discount the account must be re verified for the discount. They are cracking down on former employees still taking advantage of discounts they are no longer entitled to. "

Thats only to prevent former employees and their friends from remaining on employee discounts. As long as the main account holder is still an employee you still get your discount. If they have left or been terminated, well they and their friends don't deserve the discount, so the plan will be switched to an appropriate regular customer account. As long as you aren't trying to get an employee family and friends discount and there's no employee on the account you have nothing to worry about.
We are legion, for we are many.

Makes sense! I got my discount from my buddy in Indiana but I've sinced then moved away and I'm sure he still works at his work place but if I have to verify it... it will be awkward talking to him just to keep my 19% discount lol..

They will either contact him directly or check employment records to verify current employment I doubt they will contact you directly, just the employee whose account/employee discount its under

Oh sweet, that works out much better. It just would be awkward calling someone you haven't talked to in years, just to ask them to verify a discount for you haha.

I'm on my own plan but under my dad's business discount and they always just call him to verify my eligibility so with and employee I'm sure they'd either call the employee or just check the records to verify they are still employed with them, they are just trying to prevent former employees and their friends and family from using the employee discount when they no longer work there and aren't eligible any more, which technically constitutes fraud anyways since they are obtaining discounted services by fraudulent means

I saw that notice as well and I am on of the people who will be affected by this. This is BS, if you signed up for a friends a family discount many many years ago and no verification was required then, and who knows where that friend is now, why should I lose it? I don't even remember the persons last name it was so long ago.
They have taken away every single benefit that I have had for ten years or more, if I have to pay more for Sprint I am gone. Unlimited is great, no doubt, but I doubt they will stay unlimited once LTE is rolled out.

If you do not work for a company that is eligible for the discount and you are using someone else's discount you do not deserve it. If you want employee prices, then have your friend or family that does have a discount add a line for you.
Just because you know someone who is eligible does not mean you can use their discount on your account.

Well when I signed up my friend provided me with the info/link to sign up and it was no problem then, and it CLEARLY said friends and family on the sign up page. It was so long ago I don't even remember the name of the company.

I know people who work for Sprint, did I use their discount? No. I paid full price just like the majority of Sprint customers.
Yeah it sucks that you're losing the discount that you were never entitled to but quit crying. If it's really so bad go pay full price with another provider. Either way you will be paying full price.

$48.88 in Sam's Club

Sam's Club in store price of $48.88 for new contracts or renewals. Got one yesterday. Sam's Club does require a membership, they start at $40.
not a bad price for someone set on getting a new e4gt on contract. good share!
The only Samsung phone i see is the galaxy 2. The only phone i know that is called that is the t-mobile phone. It says club price of 580. Am i missing something? Aren't they supposed to be cheaper? Sprint wants 500 full price. Best buy is the same way, more expensive full price than Sprint.
Why would anyone shop at Sams Club? Do you hate the working class or just mom and pop stores? XDA should ban all references to Walmart and Sam Club. I can see why their phones are cheap when they pay their workers peanuts and give the literature on how to get food stamps and welfare.

That's an odd statement, considering the maker of our phones....Samsung- isn't an American owned company and Walmart & Sams club locations are independently owned and operated in large part by Americans...But hey, go ahead and pay retail price if it makes you feel "patriotic".
Personally, I will thank the OP for a helpful hint.
I got this phone last sunday..they also waived activation fee..$36.00, pretty much covers the price of sams club membership
good stuff my friend was looking for an inexpensive galaxy 2 since i recently got mine

So even though they list the phone online ad a galaxy s 2, but in the store, it's a epic 4g touch for sprint? Just wanting to make sure since their web site is vague.
Was is new activation or upgrade/renewal of contract? I've seen cheaper if new to sprint. Amazon wireless

I got mine when it was listed for exactly one day on letstalk for 49.99. Lucked out.
I guess you did. $11 cheaper than Amazon wireless before tax. That 11 is including the 40 for a membership to sams. I suppose if you want to be a **** about it, you could get the membership, buy the phone, leave for a while then come back and say you don't want the membership any more and want a refund. At least their website says you can get a membership refund. I didn't look into the details and conditions for the refund yet.
I'm guessing Amazon wont have tax and get free shipping. If you don't get the refund then its almost the same price after taxes if you get it at sams.

As far as I know you're correct but, that's no reason to hate them. They bring jobs to places that need them. Yeah they don't pay the best but, it's either no job or have a job. In this economy a job is a job.

Anyone work for sprint?

I am trying to get on a SERO plan.
Would somone be so gracious to pm me their email and 3 digit code?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yeaaa, I don't think SERO is around any more.
Ya, SERO is long gone. There is another plan for friends and family members. But, it is in your sponsers name. So, if you don't pay your bill they would know and they would be responsible for it. I wouldn't think anyone would chance it for someone online. Plus, from time to time they change requirements. A few years ago there was a limit of the number of family members. If they reincorporate a limit that would really suck if it was used by people you didn't even know.
And, if anyone on the plan is behind on their bill no one can upgrade their phone until the bill is caught up.
Like the previous poster said. No one would chance it.
The Advantage Plan(s) details and fine print have changed quite a bit, and even a little more since I was hired last year.
We can have up to 30 lines, which is pretty wonderful! But only 1 personal line is FREE (other lines we could open cost $40 a month for unlimited everything) and 1 tablet (accessory) line, with an optional hotspot, etc.
More-or-less, that is some risky business for anyone who would be willing to provide that information via the internet.

Thanks for this information. However, the "Everything Plus Referral Program Shoppers Private Store" for the Philadelphia location prices are exactly the same as the standard store...
I still have SERO which needs to be changed to "SERO Premium" to activate a decent phone. They've nerfed SERO a lot in the past few years, it's still slightly better than a 25% corporate discount but not by much. Hardly worth the hassle to get it now IMO. Find a 25% corporate discount which is almost as good. You'll pay a few bucks more but suffer less inconvenience doing things like upgrading phones.

ok....did you log into the referral site 1st and then tried to compare the Philadelphia prices. If so clear your browser cache because it saves the referral info. The last time i checked, it was at least a $10 discount $69.99 for everything data 500 and $59.99 thru the referral site. I know if you go to certain schools or work for certain companies you would be eligible for a % of your bill.

All corporate discounts actually require you to have an email registered with our system for verification (aka @ibm.com email for me) Or if your email isnt recognized you have to fax/email in a form with proof of employment with that company, IE badge, Paystub and so on. Its a hassle but really cracks down on stores just throwing discounts on customers account for waste management (used to be sprints highest at 30%) And giving their customer discounts they really aren't eligible for.
Also on a side note a 70 year old man called me a tool in the corporate machine today because I wouldn't adjust his valid voice overages, then called in later and tried to tell an agent he was terminally ill and we should cancel his account...

You can get EPRP which is 59.99 a month for 500 minutes and unlimited everything else.
I've never had a problem with sending in proof for my corporate discount. However, I do actually work for the company I say I do and my discount is pretty nice. It is offset a little by the 10 dollar premium data bull because it doesn't work half of the time. Eh, you win some, you lose some.

Switching carriers, need suggestions.

I was one of the people who switched to sprint during the scare of a buyout of tmobile from the evil empire. Well I used this phone a whole great deal while working as a person tech to download drivers and such. Now sprint is terminating my contract and I have to move elsewhere. I am wondering who is the best alternative to sprint, and wondering what phone to get. I also want to know about where I can sell this phone.

Well I think it all depends on how much your looking to spend and how much talk/text/data you need a month.

Did T-Mobile cover your needs? If so, just go back to them. I know they're on par with Sprint as far as pricing goes.

I would go RAZR MAXX if you dont mind the locked bootloader, just on size and battery life. But being the tinkerer I am I would end up on the GNEX in the current selection sadly.
If I were you I would port my et4g over to page plus or something and wait a few months for the gs3 to drop and go back to T-Mobile at that point

That explains AT&T's higher priced plans. IS that why the OP already called them evil empire.
Definitely find the coverage and plan that fits you but I always tell people to pick the phone that you know you will like. Settling for a device that we use for so many things even before rooting is not going to end well.
Good luck.
At least any of the other major networks will be a huge upgrade over sprint in data speeds. I came to sprint from T mobile and I really regret it. Though I think my sprint phones are awesome, they are crippled by an awful network.

Actually, here's the reason for AT&T's high priced plans. Randall Stephenson compensation Now for a point of reference here is the compensation for the POTUS
Randy had AT&T buy his house when Corporate HQ was moved from San Antonio to Dallas. He and his family enjoy free health care for life.

Actually, as a member (unemployed) of local 613, I do understand labor union priorities and politics. I don't have a problem with unions in general but do not for one second proclaim their method of operation as a universal fit for everyone. It isn't.
As someone who is working (cue scary voice) non-union, I shouldn't be criticized for doing what is necessary to provide for my family in both where I work or whose phone service I select. (getting back to the topic of phones)
That attitude is a large part of how Apple operates (trying to stay on topic) and since we are h4x0rs, we must recognize that sometimes the universal fit, is not for us.
To the OP -I apologize for my contribution to the thread jack.

Get your upgrade early...

I was able to get my upgrade early by buying out the last 6 months of my contract. it cost me 65 bucks that they bill to the account.
Radio shack has a deal right now on the nexus for 199 but you get 100 off when you trade in a old smartphone.
I ask the guy if there going to do the same with the sg3 and this is what he told me. after the first two weeks of sg3 sales there going to offer the same deal around the first week in july. I'm guessing the sunday ad will have it that 2nd sunday in july.
so I bought the nexus and got my 100 bucks off so it was only 99.99. he then had me come back today and return it but was able to transfer the credit to my pre order of the sg3. bam sg3 99 bucks LOVE IT.... but yeah now I have to wait for it.
Hope it works for anyone who try's.
Badassss info! Do you know the max amount of months they will let u buy out????

Early Buyout has been going on for a while now.
I can confirm that. Sprint told me the same thing when I called to turn on caller ID blocking since they are now wanting to disclose your full name on caller ID instead of just your number.
For those of you who have done this, is it as simple as calling Sprint, buying the rest of your contract time, and then somewhere like a radio shack or best buy having it in their system that you are upgrade eligible?

I bought mine out. It had 13 or so months left on it. $135 that will be billed to my next Sprint bill.
When you call make sure to ask for account services. Otherwise you'll be bounced all over the place.
Hell of a deal considering I just sold my Epic 4G touch for 350 on craigs.
220+135+35 activation fee = 370. I got my phone for 40 bucks outta pocket YaY

I bought out my contract for $45 bucks
I think I'm in the $125 range (eligible for upgrade May 2013), if I buy out the rest of my contract now do I have to upgrade immediately or can I let it ride awhile and see what I want to do?

why not let a few months go buy and drop to a lower tier then?

My original upgrade before the $45 buyout was August 1st. They told me if I don't upgrade early by that date, they would refund the $45. Hope that helps.

T-Mobile is announcing their newest round of back-to-school promotions with, beginning July 11th with a variety of options for new and existing customers to help with back-to-school planning including:
+ Buy-One-Get-One (BOGO) Samsung Galaxy 4G promotion: offers customers who purchase any Samsung Galaxy 4G device a second select Samsung Galaxy 4G smartphone for free.
+ Add a line for $5: When signing up for a new two-year contract on T-Mobile’s Family Classic Unlimited Plan, customers can save by adding additional voice lines for $5/month.
+ $25 in Live Nation Concert Cash: With the purchase of a Samsung 4G smartphone and a no annual contract Monthly4G plan of $50 per month or greater, customers receive $25 in Live Nation Concert Cash which can be applied toward a live concert of their choice.
First up in the back-to-school promo special is the Buy-One-Get-One sale which runs from July 11th, through September 4th offering a special promotion for customers who any buy any Samsung Galaxy 4G device and select a second Samsung Galaxy 4G smartphone free. Unfortunately, it seems that the Samsung Galaxy S III will only qualify as the purchase device, and not the second, free device. That’s not terribly surprising given how new and how in-demand Samsung’s flagship smartphone is now. Instead, with the BOGO, customers will receive a Galaxy S II, Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G or Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G free after a mail-in rebate card. New and existing customers are eligible to take advantage of this promotion and standard upgrade rules apply for existing customers.
The second major back-to-school promotion this summer from T-Mobile is in the form of a promotional add-a-line plan for T-Mobile’s Family Classic Unlimited plan customers. New and existing customers can save by adding additional voice lines for only $5 a month until January 2nd, 2014.

Do you have to add a new line or extend a contract of an existing line to get the free phone?

Yes it's not really free. You need another line with a data plan. You can either upgrade an exiting line that's eligible for an upgrade or you can add a new line that has data.

Exactly, what pisses me off about T-mobile is, once you sign a contract, all the specials for free this and free that are over, they are only out to get NEW CUSTOMERS only. I been with them 8 years now, but I find myself upgrading every 2 years, and almost paying full price every time, and I always ask them, well if I end my contract and re-sign, can I qualify for the special...they reply, Oh no sir, you can't do that. What a crock.
does the deal apply to making a a full price outright purchase of a gs3 and possibly getting a gs2 for free?

you most certainly can cancel and resign. This is what me and my brother have been doing for years due to prices being better for new customers.
Cancel over the phone with customer care. Pay what's left of your bill. Wait for phone to be turned off. Go into T-Mobile pick out new phone and plan. Proceed to jump with joy!

This applies to upgrades too and the only reason you can't get it is if you signed a contract for an upgrade already and your not eligible for upgrade yet meaning waiting 22 months after your upgrade. If this upsets you then you should get real you can't get a phone subsidy then get another right away there is always a time to wait no company hands out discount after discount.
