Sprint Roaming Pack still available?

Studintx · 09-30-2004, 12:38 AM

does sprint still offer the add-on where you can use 50% of your minutes Roaming for 5 bucks a month or is that offer not in the system anymore?

The Free and Clear American, $5 option is still avaliable! Affiliate markets offer different versions of F&CA though!

I just moved from a corporate market, to an affiliate (ubiquitel) market. Now instead of having 50% of my 1000 anytime minutes eligable to be roaming minutes.... they're offering me, 50 not percent... 50 MINUTES!

Thanks... but I dont need a local number that bad, everyone i talk to has cell phones and free long distance, I'll keep my Seattle number, and my corporate plan.

Now how does F&CA work on your N&W minutes? If you are roaming on the weekend is it free?

You can't use 50% of your minutes while roaming. It's less then half, so 40 to 45%. Your night and weekend minutes count towards your anytime while roaming.

For the person with the Seattle number... You can sign up for a cheap VoIP local number from Broadvoice.com then forward to your cell... Sign up under the BYOD in state plan and select a generic device. Its $9.95 a month but well worth it. You dont need to get the VoIP device unless you want to use it as a regular phone at home. This is working for me after a recent move from my phones area code...

Roaming and airtime are two separate things. If night and weekends are free, you're not worried about the airtime. If roaming is free, you're not worried about the roaming. But the <50% still applies, to total minutes USED. note this is not the same as the # of mins in your rate plan.

example. rate plan 750AT but you only use 600 this month. better not have more than 299 roaming minutes.

Forgot something... I moved within the same state so im in the in state plan. If you moved to another state you will need to sign up for national and it may not be worth the $19.95...

Ted · 11-25-2004, 11:55 AM

that's correct. you need to have a nationwide calling plan to use the roaming option.

rfra3645 · 11-25-2004, 06:24 PM

i live in sothern il and i cant get the said free and clear plan...

ive had 4 reps tell me its not available...

i never take the 1st reps word as word untill i hear it again....

its all about if they are having a good day...at least it seems like it...

Our affiliate is phasing out "America" plans and replacing them with this $5 roaming option. For $5 p/month in our market, up to half the minutes you use (not the minutes you're given) can be roaming with no additional charge.

Say for instance you use 1000 of your 2000 minutes. 500 of those minutes (50% of what you USE) can be roaming, but after that, it's whatever rate you pay for roaming.

This plan is GREAT!!! I was in a roaming area for 2 weeks on Roam. This plan is 50% of ALL PCS minutes. So, since I have free PCS to PCS, I dialed my other line over night and volia. I ended up with about 40% of my minutes roaming and no extra charge. I had about 2000 minutes roaming but a ton of PCS to PCS with no extra charge whatsoever.

I have a 2000 minute plan. With this plan, if I ever get near going over my minutes, I can just switch to analog and away I go.

So are you saying that if you do get close to your 2000 anytime minutes that you can force your phone to roam and then roam as long as you don't go over 50% of usage? I thought that roaming would take from my anytime minutes. I have asked ecare about this and can't get a straight answer. I want to know if I have 2000 anytime minutes does that mean that I can roam up to 50% of those minutes and it won't effect my anytime minutes? So I can use 2000 anytime and 1000 roaming during the day? I am confusing myself

The night and weekend minutes don't count against your anytime minutes. And the 50% is just a CYA average for Sprint so someone doesn't get a Sprint account and not even live in a Sprint-covered area. The worst thing that will happen if you consistently go over is they'll tell you to knock it off. - sheureka
