Drop Sprint dealer line to get upgrade?

sysop3 · 06-08-2010, 08:51 PM

I got onto the Free and Clear 3000 plan several months back. It's $20 plus an additional $15 for Blackberry data. What sucks about being on a dealer line is that I can't upgrade my phone at all unless I outright buy a phone at the full retail price or find a used one on the interwebs. I also recently got a letter in the mail from Sprint informing me that I am now a Premier Customer, so if I wasn't on an employee dealer line I could get a full upgrade every year rather than every two years.

I'm wondering if I drop the Free and Clear 3000 plan and revert back to the Everything Data plan for $69.99 a month if I would be able to get a full upgrade after a year (I'm only saving $25 bucks a month but I was also getting a 20% employee discount off my bill). I ran my number through upgrade eligibility on my Sprint system at my work and it says I'm eligible for my full upgrade September of this year but I can't access my account since I'm on an employee dealer plan.

So my question is if I revert back to everything data, would I be able to upgrade my line this September? I'm going to eventually get a hold of my Sprint rep and see whats up, but I figured I'd give SU a holler first. Any suggestions/input would be great. Thanks.

Then again, I'd rather not lose the PAM feature.

well ill let you know if you decide not to keep it do an TOL to me

ill take it

I currently have this plan as well. I pay $25 +3.xx for taxes

I want the Evo, which is $450, no contract!
I get a savings of 44.99 a month so 10 months I have the phone paid off in savings.

I just can't get a hold of my rep as she was fired recently.

Could you upgrade your phone without calling the rep and just buying the phone outright?

lol you know they won't do tol between consumer accounts and employee accounts. Assuming you have a consumer account of course.

Rosatilt · 06-09-2010, 10:28 AM

I'll take that TOL too if it becomes available.

sysop3 · 06-09-2010, 02:05 PM

I decided to keep the line. It just sucks having to pay a fat sum of money for a new phone. I'm not gonna lie, I WANT AN EVO DAMN IT!

TheNakedMan · 06-09-2010, 02:06 PM

dude, it's a fair price, $450, in 10 months you have the phone paid for in savings if you went with the $69.99 plan.

You just have to wait until July to get it.
