Best Phone Option for Free & Clear 1000

TDMVP73 · 07-24-2010, 03:05 PM

Hi,

I need some advice from you guys. I've been out of contract since April 2009, but want a new phone that is reliable and full-featured. I currently have a Sanyo M1 that's gotten pretty beat up over the years and an LG Rumor Touch on my other SERO 500 line.

Here's my current plan:
Sprint Free & Clear 1000 Min - $40
Unlimited Night & Weekends Starting at 8 PM
Free Sprint to Sprint
Free Nationwide Roaming
Free Unlimited Texting
Free Basic Unlimited Internet Plan
Sprint Premier Package [Unlimited GPS, etc.] - $10

Grand Total: $50 - 25% Employee Discount = $37.50 + taxes

I recently upgraded the phone on my SERO 500 line to an LG Rumor Touch. I'm paying only $22.50 on that line after the discount, so I kind of want to remain under the radar if possible. I also have a Samsung Airave that was given free and they also waived monthly service charge on it.

My question is... what is the best phone that I can get that's compatible with the Free & Clear 1000 plan?

Is there an Everything Data plan that could even come close to matching that price per month? Has anyone gotten an Everything Data plan that's similarly priced to my F&C 1000 from Retentions lately?

Thanks,
TD

the best phone to my knowledge that you can get with the f&c 1000 is the tp2 on WM and bb 9630 tour on bb. i have both on my family plan but i'm not sure if anyone else has better.

as far as the any ED plans being comparable to the f&c plans that we have.. i dont think there are any, unless you call sprint for credits and promos.

What about the successor to the Blackberry 9630 Tour, the Blackberry 9650 Bold? Will that work too?

Has anyone had any luck getting Android phones besides the antiquated TouchPro 2 on the F&C 1000 plan?

Thanks for your help!

No, it won't. The Blackberry 9630 is the last BB compatible with your (and my) plan.

No, all of the recent Android phones require a new plan.

You can pay a $10 premium to use some newer phones on a Sero line, but you'll have no such luck with your "Free & Clear 1000" plan. If you want to upgrade, you'll have to spend an additional $50/mo.
