What's the best plan for my phones?

[deryn]

I have 3 lines, one of which is ending today. The remaining 2 lines are equiped with Moguls.

Right now, I have a Fam Share for all 3

700 anytime
N&W @ 7pm
Unlimited Texts
Power Vision on 2 moguls
15% loyalty discount

comes out to be about $145 a month.

Since I'll be terminating the 3rd line, keeping the moguls.. which plans can i get without compromising mainly the texts and vision?

Also, are there any additional discounts to be given?

Anyone in the same boat?

Sorry, misunderstood the question. Someone else will have to advise you.

[deryn]

I'll have 2 moguls by the end of the day. I want to get a share plan that would benefit both phones.. no overage... any help?

[chrisplchs]

well, when are you're other two lines ending? that would help as to determine what you can do. you said you only have one line ending today

[deryn]

sorry...

my remaining 2 lines will end in march of '09. Both are moguls. I need unlimited data and texts.. minutes don't seem to matter.. the basic 500 shared a month is fine.

Here's another rundown:
3 lines, Mogul, Mogul, Blade.

Mogul 1 - unlimited data, unlimited txt, 500 shared
Mogul 2 - unlimited data, unlimited txt, 500 shared
Blade - calling only, unlimited txt bc $20 gets unlimited txt for all 3.

Blade will be ending later today.

I'll have my moguls so I'll be using a share plan. the minimum 500 plan will be fine. Is there any way I can get what I need for $100 or less a month? I have the loyalty discount from retentions.

[chrisplchs]

possibly. Because you are still under contract for over another year on your other two lines, it might be harder to get what you want. I would email e-care and/or call retentions.

Sure...as long as you get the right person...here's what we have (and our contract isn't up until Nov/Dec 2009 (dh just bought a phone for me and about a week later we got this deal)...

Two lines
1000 shared anytime minutes - $50
100 bonus minutes per phone
Unlimited nights and weekends (7pm)
Unlimited text messaging $16
Unlimited vision on ONE phone $10
That's $76/month (before our 15% military discount)
It might put you closer to the $100 mark to get vision on both phones...but it CAN be done...even if you aren't very far into your contract.

annie,

my bad. I haven't been on su since I last renewed my contract so I didn't know that sprint was more flexible with the barely into contract and negotiating.

deryn,
apparently one of the new stock retention deal is the 1000 min for 40 with a free add a line. the 1000 for 50 is an older stock plan from retention as it was offered to me almost two years ago. if you actually need ul text (which I think its crazy to go over 500 as that's like 17 a day) then try to negotiate to a lower amount. same with data. don't automatically ask for free but ask for a discount.

finally, it might takeyou more than one call so be patient and try again. the worst they can do is say no

how did you get 1000 shared for $50? how did you get unlimited texts for $16? how'd you get vision for $10? I guess I'll just have to keep trying and hopefully get lucky.

[deryn]

sorry for the double post but Chris, are you saying retentions has a 1000 shared for $40? What if I already have 2 lines.. will I HAVE to add another?

Yes I am saying that as other people has gotten it recently. Retention has had it for quite some time now but before, it was limited to a one line plan (think SERO). I know for sure they have a 1000 minutes $50 retention plan that has a free add a line. Also, some people have even gotten $1000 minutes /$40 plan with TWO free add a line.

All I have to say you have to ask. Firmly, but not overly aggressive.

Sounds like there may be a newer retention plan: $50 for 1000 Shared Minutes (Includes 2 AAP), Nights & Weekends @ 7, Roaming, Mobile-to-Mobile. All included in the plan by default (not added and then offset with a credit).
