said by CMoore2004 :I'm looking forward to some sort of notification of the contract change so I can get out of contract on both cards--but keep the service. I'd like to do this as well, but I'm not sure if I can; I have a feeling I'll be given "sorry, if you continue service, you'll have to continue your contract; if you want out of your contract, you'll have to cancel".

Sprint's contract:
When You Don't Have To Pay An Early Termination Fee
You aren't responsible for paying an Early Termination Fee when terminating Services: (a) provided on a month-to-month basis; (b) consistent with our published trial period return policy; or (c) in response to a materially adverse change we make to the Agreement as described directly below. |

I understand about how the contracts help them recoup hardware costs, but in reference to your comments above -- you suggest that the change in their terms will allow you to break the contract. Am I interpreting you corretly? If so, pls describe how this can be done.
thank you |

The contract is so you can get the lower prices on the phones. Basically, you say you'll stay with them for so long so they can recoup the costs of giving you the discount. You don't HAVE to sign a contract to get the service. |

Been a sprint guy for 9 years now. Data for 8 years. Once this goes into place I'm gone and by that I mean 6 lines and a data card. For all the issues I have had in the last 3 months I'm done with the "Now Network".

I recently signed up for the Sprint mobile broadband (longtime Sprint customer for cell phone). I liked the unlimited service, no roaming, and portability of the card. I am very upset they have announced a cap less than 30 days after I renewed. My contract was up so I renewed and got a new phone and new Compass 597 with rebates for each on new 2-yr contract.
I am very interested in the comment in the previous post - how can you get out of the contract on both cards - but keep the service? |

I think I would get out of the contract AND drop the service for the simple fact Sprint has horrible customer service. I would hate to "cancel my contract" and learn later they did not complete the paperwork and then send me a bill later if I did decide to drop the service. I love the service but I have already been in one contract battle over a contract that didn't exist before and got a ding on my credit over it. UGH I hope they throw the cap idea out the window. |

said by tcp1 :I'll cancel. Just out of principle. I'll get the same thing from Verizon, but companies need to learn that what they're doing isn't what the customers want. I realize this will just be rewarding Verizon in the end, but the point is made at the time the change is made - Verizon already went through that pain. Why go to Verizon, they'll charge you $500 for each GB over 5GB and doesn't allow you out of contract w/out fees. Sprint will just cancel or 'modify' (throttle?) service and you can get out of the contract with no fees. |

Unfortunately, the only other WISP in my area is Clearwire.. which smells way to Sprint-y for me.
Since this is my second time cancelling Sprint, I will never, ever, ever consider their services again. They got their second chance. |
