I just got my warning letter in the mail!!
How long did it take after the warning for you to be fully terminated? I'm getting excited lol I got mine for voice roaming not data if it matters
I seriously hate carriers who do stuff like this.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
Took a few months for me. Letter just popped up in the mail giving me 60 days to port my number. I had a family plan, only one line was roaming, but I was able to move every line without penalty.
So if I have 2 numbers would both be cancelled? The letter only mentioned mine
Good way to get out of a fixed contract, wish my carrier terminated my 2 year contract, I'm stuck with poor service an data speeds with my current provider for another 6 months until it ends.
I left Sprint in the 14 day trial period before they got the chance to do this to me... I was on Verizon half the time anyway so I just went back to Verizon.

Wow I'm confused, how are you getting terminated for voice roaming? Why wouldn't they just charge you for it? Never had Sprint before.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Last month I had 7 gigs, the month before that I had 8 gigs and right now I have 4 gigs.
Sprint hasn't sent me a love letter yet. Maybe they don't care anymore.

I got terminated for the same thing a few years ago, then a week ago, I got a call from a collection agency saying I owed sprint money because I canceled early even though they canceled me lol

My understanding was they DO charge a $350 ETF even though they canceled the contract.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Not that I've ever heard. Reading the threads here there is not ETF since you're not the one terminating it willingly
I believe they dont terminate you with a warning letter. You get a letter saying you violated the contract and they give you 30 or 60 days to switch. I also think they allow you to port that number. Other accounts on the line are still active just that number gets terminated. Idk if you keep the device though.

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 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.

Let us know what they say...I've had mine the friday before the nexus hit stores and I have yet to get it.
i got mine the friday before release.... still no bonus? maybe only brand new activations? (used to have nexus s 4g with wallet)
the pre order email said something liek 4 weeks right?
No, it states that if you activate google wallet on a Galaxy Nexus for Sprint you will be credited. You are suppose to deactivate it on another device and reactivate it on the new one. I didn't activate mine until the GNexus was released for that purpose. The MEID is recorded and that's how Sprint knows you have activated it.
Got mine 4/20. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks. Still only have the 10 bux. I hope us early preorder-ers aren't screwed cuz we activated before 4/22 like the promo says.

Please disregard my last post, Sprint reps are sometimes clueless and gave me the Citi MasterCard number.
So I called up Money Network and they stated that after activation it will take up to 3 weeks as expected but some may get it sooner. There is no way to check and see but as long as you got the $10 and your account is active you will get it. If for some reason you don't get it within 3 weeks call up money network @ (855) 896-0693.

That's how I got my Galaxy Note 2 today. I only had my Galaxy S3 for 13 months but I still got the Note 2 for free. The catch was I had to increase my plan by $26 for 24 months. I also enrolled in the jump program. So I ended up spending around $60 today and I kept my GS3. They offered me $190 for it.

wait i thought with the JUMP! program, you had to trade in your old device?
Honestly, T-Mobile always sells phones a bit more expensive then they actually retail for.
If I had seriously wanted the S4 I'd root my S3 that's in flawless condition with a Balistick SG Maxx case, have it prerooted stock 4.1.2 and sell it for 350$. Then go on eBay turn around and buy the international unlocked version of the S4 for like 250$ more. It's more expensive out right, but much cheaper in the long run.
Been on my mother's T-Mobile phone line since I was a kid and had a Motorola RAZR v3. So more than 12 years for sure when she started using T-Mobile. Somewhere in 1999 I fink.

So after posting this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2399983
I decided a few days later to see what would happen if I added data roaming into the equation. I checked my sprint account and it showed ~380MB roaming data (12MB on sprint lol). Clearly not enough
I found myself a nice 1GB test file to download and was able to get it 3x the first night and 2x last night.
Woke up and go this text:
SprintFreeMsg: Please watch your mail for an important account notice. If your address has changed blah blah blah
I looked at my sprint account to see how much my roaming has went up and saw a much nicer 6.5GB! Not bad for 2 days of work!
I'm HOPING this is them parting ways with me, and I can finally go GSM (Nexus 4 probably).
Has anyone who has been terminated confirm this is the final straw or what?! :victory:
If they don't ETF you, I mean one thing is for certain, you're outta here!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Well I know for a fact they can't ETF you if they are the one terminating the contract.
I honestly wouldn't even be in such a rush to get off Sprint but I cracked my screen and don't want to spend the $$ when I was planning on leaving Sprint when my contract is up in March 2014 anyway... sooner the better though lol

A little bird told me starting on the 28th JUMP will no longer have a 6 month (180 day) waiting period to upgrade! You will also be able to upgrade an UN-Limited number of times per year!
Also, the international calling plan will change for the better, allowing better rates for calling to cell phones. I'll update this when I learn more.

I would say the first part about the Jump program is true but not the 2nd. It would be a bad business model and money loser for T-Mobile to allow any and everyone to upgrade unlimited times a year. The only way I could see this happen is if they reward their customers who have been here through all the BS like me, Ive been with T-Mobile since 2003, but I doubt it.
Well you can keep your grandfathered features, but customers always have unrealistic expectations. Not saying that yours are. And I would read post #6 in this thread, it kinda helps explain how the changes work. I honestly prefer the original JUMP plan.
