I have been constantly having problems with sprint. I love the S2, but I never get reception, always losing signal. Slow to no data. (yes I called them to have the fix the problem but no help. Last week I was on hold for 6 hours, not exaggerating at all).
I called sprint again today, and they would not upgrade my phone. They said I bought it in Feb, and they would charge me $280 to break out of contract and $200 for the new note 2 phone. ($580, they are nutz...).
they wouldn't pass me onto retentions either. They hung up on me 4 times during my phone call. Stupid russion speaking dwarfs from yugoslavia or something...
So I canceled finally, and they didn't even do ANYTHING to try and keep me as a customer. I have been with them since 1999.
So... I will pay the break out fee of $280. But I feel it is a relief to get away from them. Sprint has gone down the toilet, and I am not going to be held hostage by them anymore.
So... Anyone have any suggestions on what to do now? Legal suggestions only please. I still have my S2, so if there was a way I can prepay activate it somewhere .....
OR what is the best bang for the buck wireless company now? I kind of wanted the new note 2 or I can wait for the nexus 4.
Thanks for letting me waste your time.....
I'd probably swallow any loss that you paid to Sprint and move onto T-Mobile if their coverage is nice in your area. $200 for a 2-year contract or buy outright from Google for $300-350, not bad. Just gotta wait since they're on back ordered.
Unfortunate that you experienced that type of customer service from Sprint. I've had nothing but great deals with them every time.
I was looking at Ting... I guess they have a beta program where you can bring your device from sprint. Pay as you go no contract. You get credited the following month for stuff you didn't use.
The epic touch 4g is one of the 5 devices currently supported by ting.

Should someone report you for quoting the post? Since it now contains an original copy of said profanity and if missed by the moderator handling said report will become the only post containing the reported profanity.
I never understood why people quote things they want removed. People quoting links saying don't link are the funniest offenders of all.

Hope you find one OP, I personally won't give mine up though.
Yeah the people putting this phone down just are trolling i love it.As for the photon you can get $350 if you hype it good on ebay minus fee's about $300 then you can pick a sgs2 up off ebay for about $100 more.
But you will never find a sucker i mean a person to trade you a sgs2 for a photon.
Good Luck finding one Bro.. It's going to be tough. This phone lives up to all the Hype and then some, based of the euro model..
Suck it up like I did and throw that cash down.. Its well worth it...

Just pick up a cheap, old Sprint phone off eBay, switch service to it, sell the photon, then pick up the S2. This is an easy one, c'mon *lol*

Go to Sprint site pic up their referb sanyo flip for 50.00.
Activate it sell Photon take Sanyo to store trade up within 15 days pay the difference.
Or be a bulldog about things...
Take your oldest Sprint phone that isn't worth selling and swap phones on your line and sell the Photon *OR* trade it in at Sprint,....E3D got $135, Photon should get at least as much. That leaves only $65 left to pay for an ET4G. Then after activation call Sprint and get your contract rescinded (due to the admin fee change). Sure, they want to refuse it...but they will do it. They have to. Sure, t hey will assure you that the contract allows them to go up to $1.99, but, the contract also assures you that any material change to the contract lets you out for free...I'm pretty sure that trumps their card. Sure, you aren't a lawyer but neither are they...and you should make sure they know that you have more time to spend on the issue than they have to defend it. You will get out for free, I did.
Then you get yourself into a new line, port your old number to GoogleVoice and in 3 days you have a $65 ET4G, a new number *and* your old number on your new phone and a new contract with an even more insane ETF.
I did it today, you can too.
Hey bro I seen your post in that thread, I "canceled" my contract because of the administrative charge .. but they still won't met me buy a new phone with the two year price. Seems like you were in the same situation can you please explain how you did it

Very misleading title and article. For those that like to skim and call that reading, it would be hard to not come away thinking that sprint is now no different than any other wireless company.
Article author has spite for Sprint, for whatever reason, otherwise he wouldn't write in such a negative tone. That or author is just trying to be sensationalistic in order to grab more attention.

"Oh, I'm leaving sprint, I'm going to Verizon"?
You have unlimited data plan with sprint now and you want to switch to teered plan with Verizon?
All I have to say is this:
Sprint is the last carrier with true unlimited data, get on a plan NOW before they get rid of it. Otherwise for new subscribers it will be as it is with other carriers now.
I wonder if that means sprint will be bringing down the hammer on illegal tethering like att has oooo **** haha

Idk how to feel about this i know sprint has came out and said they wont get rid of their unlimited data for phones and i dont think they will cuz they know it is the ONLY reason people **** with them i admit they been cutting costs in other depts like the premier program and raising the etf to compisate for the data... idk i wanna hold out and see if sprints network vision plan pulls through and if it does it will be great

Open the box and take a picture of the box opened. It is a little strange that you posted a picture of a phone box to prove you had it.
You don't have to prove it to me. I'm just not going to believe you without proof.
If you do actually have it can you post some pictures of the phone for us? I know you have friends with camera or a camera/webcam somewhere in your house.
I will post pics of me using it when my girlfriend get home but the picture of the box open here it is, I have no reason to lie.

Merged another thread into this one that had been created 3 hours AFTER this one.
White Epic in Hand
I have had the white one since New Years Eve. Went to Best Buy to replace my 3 year old Blackberry Curve & the guy asked if I would rather have the white one. They tried to ring it up on 4 different registers but couldn't get it to scan. 15 minutes after they were suppose to close, they finally scanned a black one just to get me out the door.
I realized why it had been such an issue after I read the Jan 8th release date online.
Anyhow, loving moving up to this phone after the Berry.
Hello guys...a friend of mine is selling an E4GT that he found. No contacts and has no service o.o. probably bad esn ill post pictures once he gets them to me.

Sell it on eBay or Craigslist. This is not the right section to sell phones on xda and selling bad esn phones is not allowed here.
That being said you could still probably get a decent amount for it on eBay as these can be flashed to different CD a carriers. I bought a bad esn epic 4g touch and added it to my virgin mobile account.

If it has been reported stolen, then only asurion would know whose it was. and their records are a mess. If it is just lost, then a Service center could easily figure out whose phone it is using the ESN and the phone number (found using ##786#).
If it has a bad ESN, then sell it. (they gave up looking for it) If it has a Good ESN then return it (someone is probably looking for it.)

I think you will enjoy it this Google thing may actually catch on one day... Also the persons name and phone number are right there within the about section of the phone. The phone may be lost or stolen but I am quite sure they still kept their number. Just text or call them... Problem solved...
Oh if you cant figure out where to look try using Google and bask in all its glory
Yeah i convinced him to call sprint. I know sure as hell would have. And yes karma does repay. I found iphone 3gs a long time ago. I called the guy and told him i had it and i would take it to him because i had time off. I took it to his office and the guy took his contacts and said "thank you so much for being honest, you can have the phone." It was a great day. I'd rather return it and get a fk you than keep it. Either way its up to him and ima kick his ass for making me post and then change his mind lol.

AT&T has matched Sam's Galaxy S3 BF price of .96 and let me upgrade 2 weeks early. I can provide proof if you need it, I have the email confirmation.This totally beats waiting in those black friday lines. They also said that I can call back when i get my bill and they will remove the 36$ activation fee
I just called at&t and asked them if they could override the upgrade date to make it 2 weeks earlier to take advantage of sam's offer on black friday. But they said that they could not do it, but they could price match it. Now, I am getting the GS3 2 weeks before black friday at the black friday sam's club price without having to wait in those ridiculous lines!
