Comments on: Cancel Your Sprint Contract Without Penalty – Success Stories [January 2010] http://www.mymoneyblog.com/cancel-your-sprint-contract-without-penalty-january-2010.html Personal Finance and Investing Blog Sun, 12 Feb 2012 05:06:12 +0000 hourly 1 By: Christina http://www.mymoneyblog.com/cancel-your-sprint-contract-without-penalty-january-2010.html#comment-184106 Christina Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:37:20 +0000 http://www.mymoneyblog.com/?p=6309#comment-184106 Well, I have been with Sprint for several years now and have not had one single complaint. I always pay my bill on time through sprint.com and Im also on the Everything Data 1500 Shared plan with 4 lines and I will tell you, I have around, just to make sure I have a good deal, and I have not seen any better offers. Sprint still offers unlimited internet access while AT&T only offers 2GB of data for 25.00 per month. We have unlimited data, unlimited messaging, any mobile any time and 1500 anytime mins shared between all lines which we barely use at all. At the start of my services, I was also being charged the 4.99 spending limit monthly fee, however they did explain when you start services with sprint, they have to run your credit and will apply spending limit amount, based on your personal credit history and will add the 4.99 monthly fee since spending limit accounts require additional monitoring on a day to day basis just to ensure you will not go over the sl assigned amount. However if you sign up for auto pay, that 4.99 fee will be removed or if you have been with the company for at least 18 months and have kept a good payment history for 12 consecutive months the 4.99 charge will also be removed. I'm a very happy customer. If you pay your bills on time, don't go crazy ordering stuff you can't afford, you should not have any issues. So what if they charge a small fee here and there from time to time? Doesn't life change? doesn't cost of living change? don't you have other billers that also raise charges, taxes, fees, etc? It's 2012 people, technology advances as time goes by and technology is not cheap...prices can't remain the same as 10, 20 years ago....that's economy and life moving forward for you!! In the company that I work for (has nothing to do with mobile phone btw), I wonder how we have not gone bankruptcy when I see all these huge! bills that customers carry on from month to month just because they want to have the latest technology, no matter what the cost and just live the glory of the moment not considering what they can actually afford. And yes, life does happen and at times you may not have control over certain situations. And sprint knows this and are willing to assist the customer in any which way. I have a co-workers who also have sprint and they call in when the going gets tough and ask for payment arrangments, sometimes a couple of times a month and have never been turned down. So overall, sprint is a pretty darn good cell phone company who actually care about their customers needs. But if all you can think of is saving 20 cents here and there and having a one way win situation, then I guess that's why you try to find faults in others when in reality it really goes back to you.

Was with them for 8+ years with no problems...then in the past few years they must have had some internal difficulties or something because they started charging for things not ordered, refusing to replace defective phones, charging my account for "free" cell-to-cell,nights/weekends and the list goes on... So I have changed providers and am refusing to give them any more money...and making sure I tell everyone I know...and even those I don't know...that there are better services out there for the money.

I specifically asked about the regulatory fees (.40 additional for each line) and questioned why it was increased. Once they explained, I mentioned that I was understood that if any changes were made to the contract, I could cancel my contract without any early termination fees. The customer support rep had to ask a manager (guess she was new) and she explained to me that Sprint has the right to change certain fees and if I wished to talk to their account retention team, I could. I went ahead and requested the account retention team and spoke to a very nice lady that once I explained the scenario, she said that I had the right to execute the cancellation w/o penalty.

I basically followed the same script you gave only inserted "Spending Limit Program Charge" instead of "Regulatory Fee". Thanks for the help! Hey!
