thanks for the heads up

Growing more tired of this.

Just so everyone knows, the detailed bill is not the same as the regular bill. The detailed bill lists every phone number you called or texted. You can still receive your regular bill for free.

Detailed billing doesn't list the numbers you texted, just the calls (incoming/outgoing).
"Regular" really depends on your point of reference.
What you are describing as the regular bill is also called the summary bill.
From the Sprint blurb, even if you choose summary (paper bill), the detailed billing is still supposed to be available online.

good looking

Thanks!

Doesn't really bother me because I get ebills anyway. Dumb move by Sprint though, I can guarantee they get sued for this. Charging customers for paper copies of their bills is a big no-no. Sprint must be operating in the red.

Hahaha this and every one esle who is having a hay day with a $1.99 is hilarious in my book. Thats the equivalent of buying a cup of coffee once a month. Besides Sprint is by far the best deal around money wise. Also is the last of the big 4 that has unlimited data. It will be ok boys and girls

I've set up ebill about 4 times in the last 6 years -- somehow it keeps defaulting back to paper, which is annoying all by itself. Thanks for the heads up so I can avoid the charge and the paper!

That unlimited ship has sailed. 4GB is equivalent to unlimited for many people. Plus it works.

Yep because even sprint will try to terminate your contract if you use to much data.

No, they don't.
Roaming data? Yes, that's different as Sprint has to pay that network's owner for the usage.

I have definitely seen people booted for using 30 gb. Which is ridiculous when they have an 8gb card in their evo and try to say they weren't tethered.

I promise you that in network usage wasn't the reason
Now, if they were torrenting illegal downloads or excessive roaming that would explain it.

Not really going to affect me. Been eBill for eons now (and on all bills i have mostly) so that's that.
Still a cheap move. They need new revenue streams I guess.

They should be offering 2 bucks OFF, or even 1 dollar OFF whoever goes to e-billing to give an incentive to move off paper, Geico does this and other companies do it too.

[Q] Lost job, no longer have service

As per the title, other than using my phone to play games and use wi-fi for apps, what should I do with my phone? I'm thinking of selling it but my three year old daughter loves it too much. I was thinking of trying to flash it to metropcs for the cheaper service but I don't want to brick my phone... Any advice? I wish there was a way to set up the ESPT settings to allow free data.. lol

Here's a thought; Get another job?

Sorry to hear you lost your job.Thats hard on anyone.

If I upgrade at Best Buy, do I lose grandfathered unlimited data?

I'm on a Family line, and I'm not the primary number. We all have grandfathered unlimited data, and the last couple times I upgraded my phone at the ATT store it was all fine and dandy. But I noticed Best Buy, today only, has a $100 deal for the SGSIII which I want, but I'm wondering if I upgrade through BB (online or in store, whatever), will I be unable to maintain the unlimited data I've had? Is it possible to do it in a way that I DO keep it?

I upgraded at Best Buy 2 weeks ago and I kept unlimited data and now I went over 8 gbs data and I wasn't throttled...(I had to test it)...

Anyway to hide usage?

I don't think there's any way to hide usage. It's your carrier. The data goes through them one way or another.

Not that I'm aware of, I rarely go over 3gbs...but I was told that when you switch to an LTE phone they raise it from being throttled at 3gbs to 5 gbs...but I had to test it and I was over 8gbs when last I checked.
Still not throttled.

So what exactly is the upgrade process like if you go through a third party like BB? Did you do it online or in store?

I did it in-store. Took about 30 minutes, the associate told me before-hand that I would keep my unlimited plan.

I was gonna order it online, but maybe it would be easier to do it in store then to make sure I can confirm it with the associate before-hand as well. If I'm not the primary number, I can't upgrade in store by myself though can I?

I just went to my neighborhood best buy and a person assisted me, I doubt you can do it yourself in-store.

Geek squad is good as long as you can bring the phone in. Daughter dropped her Atrix 2 in the toilet the day after she got it. Best buy replaced it, no questions asked. Only thing it doesn't cover is lost.

Don't need for insurance if you get something like an Otterbox Defender, and install security software.

try force roaming and tethering that much.

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).

Hopefully they will notice you have been tethering without purchasing the tethering plan and bill you at $.25/MB.

What do you mean discount? I think you can even grab an employee discount for your service. Also - try to get an Airave from retentions, it'll help the service at home.

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.

Hey guys,
Sprint just cancelled me for tethering and I'm just gonna go with a Nexus 4G so I want to sell my phone and accessories. I'm pissed I JUST bought my micro sd and anker batteries! The good part is the phone is a week old from an insurance claim so it's immaculate. Anyway, here's what I'm selling:
E4GT rooted w/latest Jellybean leak
2 Anker 1800m batteries w/external charger (also 3 days old)
Aegis Trident case black
Sandisk class 10 32GB micro SD.
What do you think?

To be honest with those accessories and phone being in new condition you could score a good 210 at least and most 240 to 260$ depending on the person. I'm currently selling one for 150$ without accessories and a messed up ear phone jack on craigslist haha.

At first they said excessive roaming, but that was bs because I never leave home. So they investigated further and said it was due to "tethering without a tethering plan." No warning, nothing. I woke up and was shut off this morning. I love downloading full albums and movies. I suppose I could have challenged them for having "unlimited data" but screw it. I'll get a Nexus 4 off contract w/Tmo unlimited 70 bucks a month.

It was probably roaming while they are doing NV upgrades. If it was really for tethering you wouldn't have gotten out etf free. They would have either opted for you to add tethering or would have just added it to your next bill. What tethering app were u using?

Technically they can't tell you were tethering unless you were using the sprint hotspot. They can *claim* you were cuz of desktop protocols, but just tell em your browser on your phone is set to desktop user agent which uses the same protocols as your desktop browser. Most likely you were roaming due to the upgrades going on and whatever carrier you roamed on claimed you were tethering. At least you didn't have to pay the etf.

If one was to browse on say the galaxy tab 2 7.0, would it be impossible to tell if a person was tethering than? I'm assuming that the browser on the tab is similar to the browser on a phone, right?

Android to android is even more incognito than android to windows/linux/mac, but the more advanced phone browsers and apps become the harder it is to tell the difference between mobile and desktop data packets. I would say in the next 5 years all internet capable devices will be using almost identical protocols to access the web which means all data would look the same to anyone sniffing packets. I'm grandfathered in on an unlimited tethering plan on my work line and I use upwards of 100GBs a month on it for work and I tether my personal line (same account) to my tablet and laptop and have been for 3 years and sprint never says anything. Between the 5 lines on our account we average 250GB a month.

Just a quick ?, OP have you looked at your usage on sprint.com to see your roaming usage?? Just wondering if Sprint is about to crack down on tethering or if it was roaming which we all know they crack down on. Thanks for any info....and I wouldnt sell for less than $300 BTW but depends how quick you need the cash, think about the fact no one can get an android able to run jb on sprint for under $450 from retail.
