Hey, guys I have a question about my plan, right now I need a little help deciding what to do, I am on a $50 retention plan with 1000 min. unlimited nights and weekends, and pcs 2pcs free and an aap for $20. I am thinking of adding a 3rd line that will probably also charge $20 for, so I am considering fair and flexible. Right now I am not worried about loosing to many goodies (I don't have many) except 8pm nights and weekends and 5% loyalty discount, if I change to fair and flexible I will have 3 lines for $80 and 800 min. However, 1000 will cost roughly the same ($90) as just adding the 3rd line to my account, my question is, is it worth it? Will I lose 8pm nights? Is there anyway if I switch I can get 7pm free? (This would make it worth it) and do people who currently have fair and flexible like it? If I change and only use 800 min. (which is possible but not likely), I will save $10 a month but I am hesitant because we all know what the risk can be. What do you guys think, to change or not to change is the question
In addition, I am in affiliate ...well a place I do not like... and that affiliate is horizon pcs who so far have only had 7pm nights for $10 but this could have changed I do not know and our roaming bundles are 50 min for
$10 here. otherwise i would love to add the roaming bundle too.
Any opinions would be welcomed what would you do if you were me? Thanks in advance.

I used to have the $50/mo 1000min 8pm 3000min NW retention plan. The last time I called CS I was offered, without asking, a $40/mo 1000min 8pm UNW retention plan. I was able to keep everything else the same (FIMF, $10 Vision, 50min roaming free, etc). She added PCS/PCS for free, also. Saved $10/mo just like that.
So you might try to change that $50/mo 1000min to the $40/mo 1000min plan, keep your 8pm UNW and, with 3 lines ($20 AAP, boo, but I checked), you'd be at $80/mo for the 3 lines. Of course the Fair and Flex does get cheaper if you do a lot of overages...
Also, I should add, that a while ago, I added the 50min roaming bundle for free. and I recently did the same for 3 other lines on a different account. It took no coercion, just asking. If they ask why, just say that you travel daily through a dead zone.
according to other posts, the $40 1000 min plan is out of the system.

Sorry to go off on a tangent here, but I have a third party plan, can you add 7pm nights and weekends to my plan for free?

Dude the retention dept will add that 3rd line for $10 because the retention plan you have is a SHARED plan.

Maybe thePCSrep can assist me with this one.
I have 2 Sanyo mm7400 phones on the 800min Fair & Flex plan + $10 6pm N&W, started 6 months ago. Because of work, I now need a bluetooth phone and email access. I currently have a data plan and additional phone with Tmobile and really can't stand their customer service. My contract just expired with them and I'd really like to cancel that line and move everything to Sprint. I'd like to get a PPC6700 to replace the Tmob line and was figuring I'd have to AAP for $10 and port the #over just to get a decent deal on the phone. Then I'd have to forward all my calls to the other phone and I'd prefer not to do that. Tmob is offering me a much better deal through their retentions dept and promising me the world, but I told them I'd think about it.
I even thought of converting all 3 phones to SERO plans, but I really won't be using the 3rd phone much other than to fwd calls to my other Sprint phone. 2 SERO plans and a new 6700 would be my goal and I'd be your newest satisfied customer.
Can you help?

hear some sprint reps are giving a 7.99 third line to match t-mobiles. I had the same problem having 3 lines on my phone at $20 a pop of 2 of them. My mom has one and she is in a nursing home now and hasn't used her phone in 2.5 months. I called and had my plan changed and have line #2 is free and my 3rd one is only $10. Nothing changed but the plan. Good Luck
