Is this a good retention deal?

[alexrcohen]

Hi,

I have been reading through the threads about people being able to leverage leaving sprint to get different retention deals (I have done this myself in the past but did not know what it was called). I have also read alot of peoples signatures where they talk about the plans they have.

Before I describe my deal, it seems to me like their is a large risk that as the general consumer public becomes better educated about leveraging Sprint (or any other firm) Sprint will have to stop being freehanded with discounts and specific 'retention programs' lest they get taken advantage of.

Here is my plan I have had for about 2 months since I went over minutes and struck a deal with Sprint...

for $65 total I get 1200 anytime minutes, free sprint to sprint minutes and free nights and weekends (standard hours). I am not in a contract right now.

I can afford $65 (just) but 1200 minutes has been stretched a little thin and all it takes is one month way over, and I may as well be paying alot more if you amortize the overage.

What do you knowledgable folks suggest I try and negotiate with them for?

Thanks and happy xmas!!

Sandy

Sorry for my lack of brevity, but I forgot one point.

Alot of people in their taglines about what plan they have say that they have a discount. I have also seen a post about discounts for businesses. Is this in some way a tactic to get a lower rate for everyone or are these discounts required to be verified with the employer?

What other kind of discounts could I be offered?

The reason people didnt answer is because these questions have been asked before so if you search the will be easily answered...here is the thread of business discounts however you should always call to check if your company was recently added

As for the retention plan being good...its only good if it meets your needs...I have 2000 minutes for 85 dollars , 2 line free and third line 10 dollars.....then a 30% discount

Do you think it is still possible to get the 85$ 2000min, second line free plan? I know if it is still possible it will be hard, but i wonder is it even possible.

$85/2000 is a standard retention plan but it has no free AAP. make sure you get night and weekends, the original 85 plan had no night weekend minutes.

$100/2000 is a standard free and clear plan and has one free AAP.
