EDIT: And for some reason I missed the first post of the retention thread.. don't ask me why, I am at a loss:(
Hey all, I just wanted to ask for some recommendations on a new plan if I call up Sprint Retention.
I would like to call up retention and upgrade my phones and my plan. If I can get a noticeable drop in cost, and get some noticeable discounts for new phones all the way around. It sounds like that is a realistic goal from my lurking here (forever it seems, though I only recently signed up for an account).
I would like to change my Treo to my free line and replace it with a 6700 or 7130e. I would like to replace all other phones with small camera phones preferable with better than VGA cameras and fairly good batteries (around the size of the Sanyo 9100 or smaller with distinctive ringers for people preferred).
I was hoping for some input on what you all would recommend I ask for? Any recommendations or tricks that you think would specifically apply to my situation?
Thankseveryone!
Rob.
