Sequence...New Plan & Handsets

[INTERNET2000]

I didn't want to ask this in a different thread as it is really off-topic.

It has been my understanding that SU Members call the retention department up and get a plan that includes many services at no charge...Specifically the powervision bundles. Can you have a retention representative code powervision on your plan while you continue to use a standard 1x Vision handset? My plan would be to switch over to a powervision handset to utilize the benefits of the service a couple months down the road. Is this possible?!? I always wait for the rebates to upgrade my phone, but I'm just looking at the options of not purchasing a new phone until after January 2007.

I'm thinking down the line when my contract expires I will talk to the retention department. I'm out of my Sprint contract at the end of October. I'm just looking for the best way to configure a new plan and eventually upgrade my handsets.

By the way, does anyone know the tentative date for the first EV-DO Rev. A compatible handset to be released?

Thanks All! :)

Call retentions to upgrade your phone now. The discounts offered by retention are MUCH more valuable than the rebates you would normal get. I got a Treo 700 for $250, which is $400 off the retail price. A bunch of people have gotten the a900 for $0-$50.

In the same call, try to negotiate a better plan. If you don't get the plan that you want, try emailing ecare. If you don't get what you want from ecare, go back to calling again. It's just a matter of luck and who you run into. Don't be discouraged if you don't get the best deal on your first try. Keep trying though.

Good luck!!!!!!!!

ecare is best for free perks (unlimited text, nights @6pm, free vision, etc.) Retentions is best for plan discounts and credits
