Sprint Unlimited $15 for PCS customers

W0KIE · 08-27-2004, 06:00 AM

Sprint is offering "Sprint Unlimited at Home" for residential long distance if you are a customer of Sprint PCS Service. $15 a month (plus taxes). Sprint Unlimited at Home includes unlimited domestic long distance calling from your home phone on State-to-State calls, In-state calls and Local toll calls (where available). Sprint Unlimited at Home with International Calling is $18 per month (there may be some additional surcharges on this plan).

Naturally there are some fine print details which could cause Sprint to give you a boot to the head if you abuse the plan.

The offer is good through 1/1/05 and you get a $25 Sprint PCS credit if you sign up by 8/29/04.

The deal is good for old and new customers and you can even have existing Sprint LD service at home.

To sign up just call 1-800-PIN-DROP. I did and it was easy. I already had my mother-in-law's phone on my account and it appears that I will be able to keep her along with me for the $15 free ride. Hmmmm. This gives me some new ideas. Oh, never mind.

obviously something like this seems to good to be true with a landline phone company.. if you really make that many calls each month, going with a broadband company like Vonage or the New ATT may be a good deal.

W0KIE · 08-27-2004, 01:34 PM

Why go with Vonage with you can get this Sprint LD deal for $15 plus tax? I don't see any downside.

phdeez · 08-27-2004, 01:46 PM

Downside: if you're a Sprint Employee, you're SOL! No 15$ LD for you, b/c you get a 30$ LD credit every month....

What do you mean exactly? I have been wanting to get this because EVERYTHING is long distance for me. What's the catch?

Can I sign up for it at the Sprint website. I looked at sprint.com but didn't find anything about this plan.

W0KIE · 08-29-2004, 06:11 AM

I noticed in the fine print that customers can have only one line per account. When I switched to Sprint Unlimited at Home I already had two lines on my account. Mine and my 88 year old mother-in-law's line. It will be interesting to see my first month's Sprint Unlimited at Home bill.

If providers like SW Bell have $20 a month unlimited with call waiting they can keep it. I hate call waiting.

ricky0254 · 08-31-2004, 01:24 AM

you can have two lines according to http://www.sprint.com/ratesandcondit...itedathome.pdf

But each account may only have one line. That means that my extra line will incur an extra $15 a month. The Sprint CSR never told me that.

severach · 09-01-2004, 11:25 PM

This is a suck deal. Get the cell phone and use it for long distance. Cancel the long distance on your landline and save $15/mo. It's just a sleazy way to get $15/mo from people who found a way to pay $0. Does the Sprint plan cover the intralata calls you make the most? Most long distance carriers don't. The phone companies killed their LD cash cow and now they want some back.

kehanra · 09-06-2004, 02:33 PM

It's actually not a suck deal for people that don't want their long distance to come off their Sprint minutes, and don't want to wait until their free time to make their calls. Many local Sprint stores also offer a 50 minute free, 7cents/ minute package that has no other monthly charge for home lines. It's good for light users, and people that only make a few long distance calls don't even get a charge.
