The option to bill to account is there after 90 days depending on credit now. It won't be after Oct 5th. I can't site source, sorry but I already posted in another thread which indirect retailer I work for and citing my source can cost me my job.

Or they are doing everything they can to be the only cell provider to have unlimited data and hopefully fix network. its all about them saving money.

I can confirm this info. you will still be able to bill accessories to the account but no longer handsets, tablets, and air cards. sprint states that no other wireless provider still allows you to bill handsets to you're account.

Yeah just read that as well... kinda sucks because I use bill to Account to test the phones without having to wait a month and a half to receive a refund. Sprint current policy is refund process within 10 days of receiving phone 21 business days to cut check and 14 business days for check to arrive. Had this happen to me with the nexus s... so I will not buy a phone without recommendations from you guys for now on...lol...

I can understand for new accounts but if you have been with Sprint for years this should still be an option.

It is until Oct 5th then no more at all.

All this change means that I will be rolling with my sammy for almost two years... I better see like 3 software upgrades!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

I actually am surprised they went this long and still allowed billing to the account.
I'll bet they get stiffed quite a bit by people ordering phones, then never paying the invoice.

If it helps Sprint keep money in their pocket, and in turn helps to keep unlimited data indefinitely, go right ahead and take that away to. Better that, then to have to pay extra for what we already have.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I again don't understand why long time customers can't still do this.
Obviously if you'be been with Sprint for 5 years or more you're extremely unlikely to do something like that.

So...if the other networks jumped off a bridge, Sprint would too?
Sprint is slowly turning into Verizon....except with slower data and ****tier CS.

There's been alot of fraud going around lately on our end, especially with world phones like the photon. Changes to bill to account should come as no surprise ...

[Tip] Prorated Data

In case you didn't know, T-Mobile prorates their data packages. This is how i pay $32 for 10gbs of data a month. Includes a little headache but works every month.
My standard package:
$20 Android Perfered Web (5gb Unlimited Data)
I generally hit my data cap within 2-3 weeks of my monthly cycle. I call in Tmo and ask them to bump me to 10gbs (the longer you can wait the cheaper). I use wifi at home so I don't really need data on the weekends so I just wait till the next Monday if i can stand it. In case you were wondering how I hit 5gbs in 2-3 weeks, I stream podcasts off stitcher while working.
So they prorate my $20 5gbs to $10 or $15 then add the $30 or lower for 10gbs.
sidenote: **** T-Mobile, they have been ****ing me my entire contract. I planned on renewing (I started with a Galaxy S 1 Vibrant and I bought my GSII cash) and getting a GSIII but seriously I hate tmobile and touchwiz so **** it I'll wait on the next nexus.

Way too much work for me. It surprises me you have the patience for this.

e4gt on pageplus - how do i get 3g?

I have just a couple of questions. I just picked up an e4gt and I am going to flash it to Page Plus.
1. I see that I will only achieve 1x with the flash, I don't even remember what a speed difference that is. Is it terrible? I am not a heavy cell data user (most of the time have wifi) but I don't want it to be unusable.
2. Does anyone have info on using a donor phone to get 3g to work on the flashed phone?
Any other users out there that have e4gt on pageplus have any comments? How do you like the setup? I have a droid x2 on pp now and I have enjoyed it.
Thanks!

Usually u need the HA and AAA passwords from the donor to get 3g and then will need the APN settings to get MMS working. However idk if that works with pageplus or if you are limited to 1x only. You will have to Google how to retrieve the passwords tho
We are legion, for we are many.
Sent from the DarkSide of the GalaXy with a MEK device

Thanks Evil,
I appreciate the info. I'm hoping to talk to someone who has done it. I've done some hacking/flashing for a few years, but consider myself more of a dabbler and less of a pioneer. Although I'm willing to try things.

I'm on pageplus, the 1x data is painfully slow to the point I may end up just shelling out the extra 15 bucks a month to get on Boost.

OK well I guess it isn't easy. But if you do your research there a plenty of guides out there. They may not be for page plus but they are for similar cdma carriers and the process is generally the same. Some of the input values are just slightly different.
Edit: I am really considering switching to page plus in the next couple months as I am so sick of virgins horrible data speeds and I miss the reliability of the Verizon network.

Hmm is it because they were really long? I think for now I am gonna stay with Virgin but I got my lg ally in the mail and was able to read a the Nam and data settings. I might just save that for when I can get a bad esn galaxy s3 for a good deal and then switch over. I just wish page plus offered a little more data on their $30 and $40 plans. 100MB is pretty slim even with wifi everywhere. However I would have no problem with 500MB a month or even 250MB would be OK for me.

Why don't you pay what you owe?

Hopefully they do.

You know abusing the network to get out of your contract is not ethical, right? You're also making the network slower for others, aswel.

Lamest thread ever.
Pay your ETF or pay your bill. Quit being a shyster (which has become a common word in my lexicon after reading some posts on xda lately).

Who lied? Have you gone back and disputed this? If it was done at the store Customer service can't do much as there's no proof to what you're claiming is true so the best option is to go back to store and vice versa. Airave does help if you qualify for one. Check www.sprint.com/airavecoverage. For your discount you have to apply through www.sprint.com/verify but nothing anyone can do in regards to the % the company you're claiming offers.

Discount for ups. Store said I would get it then they said no because I'm on the second line. And wouldn't let me return the phones. It was at best buy. Supposed to get 22% off. Called sprint and they said it on best buy side. Went to best buy and they saying nothing they can do. So stuck.
I had a regular landline at home. And had boost. Got rid of it because i got sprint.
