Re: 5GB Limit - How Many will try to get out of the contract?

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.

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?

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".

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.

"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 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

Then cancel the service and go back to sign up for it again--bringing your own Sprint device, with no contract.
