Re: They made the rules....

huntml,

Isn't Alltel the first operator to offer this to their customers?

You may be right, and I think a couple other carriers (including VZW, I think) actually have already announced prorated ETFs prior to Sprint. My point wasn't that Sprint was a leader in this area -- clearly, if there is something Sprint could be called a leader in, customer services isn't it -- but that they *are* doing some things to improve in that arena. A lot of times companies need competition to force them to do things they really *should* be doing, and this is one of them. (I think the entire 2-yr deal with ETFs model used by most American carriers is abusive of the customer and should be done away with.)

huntml,

Thanks for the response and info. I do hope Sprint gets their act together for the ones that will remain with them. Even if this l00p hole doesn't help me get out of paying my ETF, I will still leave once my contract is up. I have been looking into this operator called Cricket, the only thing I wish they would add is nation wide calling area like other carriers do. Your restricted to just your city or another neighboring one closest to yours.

I have been considering going with a GSM carrier. I am also tired of calling in to have a phone activated as in the case with CDMA technology. I definitely don't want AT&T, and I have heard things about Tmobile as well. But hey, I did give Sprint close to 7 years of loyalty.
