My wife's phone just died and I'm looking at getting her a nice phone. Her phone is eligible for the upgrade discount for being over 2 years old.

Considering I'm already under contract for 2 years and it's the 2d phone on my account that is being upgraded, what is the cheapest way to upgrade, and is there any negotiating to be done to avoid the upgrade charge, shipping fees (if that's better than buying from a Sprint Store), and other charges? Or is it better just to go to a B&M and eat the sales tax?

Thanks for your help! ]]> General Discussion aggielaw http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198820 http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198819&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:19:13 GMT Sprint Holiday Site (http://holiday.sprint.com/index.php) The site shows the Hero, Pre, Tour in the middle of the page.

I try to set the data connection to "On" in the comm settings, but it never connects, it just goes back off. I know I am in an area where there is a data connection available because it still refuses to connect in places where I was able to connect a while ago with no issues.

I would try to update my PRL to see if that has anything to do with it not connecting, but with no Internet connection, the update manager won't work.

I am getting a little fed up with this, and if there are any solutions other than calling tech support, I am open.

Also, I am not sure if this is in the right forum. I saw no tech support area. ]]> General Discussion MasterThief117 http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198812 http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198811&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:48:30 GMT My friend said his upgrade was in April. He called in saying his current phone had been giving him problems etc etc etc and if he could get his upgrade date moved up. The lady moved it up to December!


I was wondering if this is a common occurrence or is he just lying to me or what ha

I've had 3 replacement phones and would love to have my upgrade dated moved up to December. ]]> General Discussion andyACEcandy http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198811 http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198798&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:09:12 GMT I just installed my airave. All 4 lights are solid blue. It is hooked into a D-Link wbr-1310 router and all of the VPN passthrough options are checked on by default. My phone is the BlackBerry Tour. I now have the GPS antenna plugged in hoping that was the problem.

I have 3 issues. I'm assuming it is just 3 symptoms of 1 issue.

Issue #1 is the phone will only connect to the airave about 10% of the time.

Issue #2 is that when the phone does connect I can make a nice clear call for about 2 minutes. After that the phone just goes silent. The timer on the phone keeps going though but the call is gone.

Issue #3 is the system light will stay solid blue most of the time but then randomly flashes red ever once in a while. It might happen once per hour.


I have tried tech support but after 2 minutes the call gets dropped. Without the airave I don't get signal and I don't have another phone to use to call them. I keep trying with the airave turned off hoping that my phone will roam but it is not cooperating.

Any thoughts? ]]> General Discussion cschnider http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198798 http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198789&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:43:52 GMT hi, i'm a new poster here at the forum.

She REALLY loves my Touch Pro...i'm a fan of the HTC Hero. My question, if she signs up and gets the Hero, could i transfer my Pro to her account and have her transfer the Hero over to my account?

The reason why i don't get the Hero now is cause my contract isn't up until 2011 ]]> General Discussion cw0802 http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198748 http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198747&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:56:25 GMT With all the new phones, especially the DROID and others on the market and the hype over the other carriers...

When the phone arrives, is there any negative consequence to activating it directly onto a different line of the same account?

We all know that this is hazardous if a rebate is involved, but my question is whether there is still a risk (e.g., of some kind of extra charge) if no rebate is involved. ]]> General Discussion lgmayka http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198724 http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198707&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:00:10 GMT I just did an esn swap from my centro to my lotus today. getting a replacement centro and needed a phone. when i had my centro i never got these spam texts, but as soon as my lotus was up and running i got like 10 of these texts. when i replied stop it sent back a text saying they werent recieving...
