I think that I have about 6 months to 1-year left on my contract.

Here's my plan:

$85.00 PCS Free & Clear Plan
2000 Anytime Minutes + 200 additional recurring bonus minutes
America - Roaming Included -- $5
PCS total equipment protection -- $7 x (2 phones) = $14
Unlimited PCS To PCS Calling -- Free
Weekends & Nights Starting At 6pm -- Free
FIMF -- Free on all phones
Unlimited PowerVision -- Free on primary phone
Unlimited SMS -- Free on primary phone
Free 2nd phone -- Free add-a-phone w/ no monthly charge
Powervision on 2nd phone -- $15/month
3rd phone -- $10/month
4th phone -- $10/month
40% total discount with, 25% off corporate discount through my company & 15% loyalty discount


I have four total phones. Two of them are PPC 6700s. I have free PowerVision & SMS on one of them. On the other PPC 6700, I am paying $15/month for the PowerVision and only get a free 500 SMS text messages.

Is there any way that I can get either free PowerVision on that 2nd PPC 6700 and get free unlimited SMS? Or at least some type of PowerVision discount?

What about getting the other two phones free with no monthly charge?

Anything else that I could improve on this plan or haggle retentions for?

You are getting so much for such a discounted price already.

If you called and asked for anything else I would hang up.

And no.

Worth a try, or several.... but don't expect a whole lot more honestly.

FYI - you dont have a 40% discount, they dont add, they take one and then the other, so the math works out to you having a 36.25% discount

that being said, getting roaming free would be the easiest improvement i would think, although with all you got they might not be very giving

With the plan you have I wouldn't ask for anything else.

The only thing I can think of that you might get for free is the waiving of your ETF after they cancel your service for excessive calling (haggling) whatever.

I mean that in the nicest possible way. You really don't want to call them unnecessarily, especially with the plan you have. You have way too much to lose.

Other than the high monthly discount, the OP's plan was a fairly standard plan at the time. The $85/2000 plan was very similar to the $100/2000 plan I had and it included unlimited SMS messaging and vision service on the 2 primary lines of service.

I see his freebies as 6pm nights free, the 500 SMS messages on line 2 for free and the $20 AAP's being discounted to $10 per month. Line 2 was generally included in the high price plans like the $1000 and $85/2000 plans, so it isn't really a freebie.

I'd shoot for unlimited SMS messaging on line 2 for free or dirt cheap (maybe $5 more than your paying now) and call it a day.
