View Full Version : Video Mail, Picture Mail and Grandfathering...

My dad was looking at our bill and my sister and I have both been getting billed for our video mail usage (I had just assummed that they were charging the $5/mo. for VM on my account but were crediting it)... well, after looking through the bill, I noticed that my sister (who got a 8300 last month... she had a vi-660 for about 4 months, but broke it and before that had a SCP-4700 and then before that some sort of LG.) and I had both (I got video mail back when I got my 7400, back on April 23, 2005). I had had the Sprint Pictures back since my 8100 which I had gotten approx. 18 months prior to getting my 7400. I was one of the lucky ones and got free unlimited text messaging; I was wondering if VM was suppossed to be grandfathered on at least one of the lines.... I had also heard that VM was suppossed to be after the merger, but I was not sure if that was applicable for new customers, all VM customers and/or contract renewals after the merger... all help would be quite nice..

Also, for the $5 AAP vision, does it include vision w/ the picture pack or is it just for vision since my sister has $5 AAP vision and $5 pictures pack as well as the $5 VM charge. For my, I have $0.00 on my bill for the pictures pack since I had my vision switched from premium to picture after I got my 8100. Was I just grandfathered to it and if not, then can I have my sister's line just have $5 vision + picture pack instead of $5 for each one?

<random rant>
Sprint still has not gotten the roaming on my dad's bill right yet... yarg!

I don't know about the rest of it, but VidMail has been rolled into PicMail since last July. You should be able to cancel it and still send videos. - sheureka
