Codes for Unlimited SMS or Old Vision Plans

vijnet123 · 10-02-2004, 07:54 PM

Does anyone have any old codes for Unlimited SMS or Old Vision Plans. I lost my Unlimited SMS when I changed phones and the rep tricked me into 2 months free of vision. The local Store Rep said she would add it for me, if she had the codes, but she wasn't able to find any.

Does anyone have any of thse codes??

(The codes I am talking about are the codes that Sprint enters into their computer to get that certain feature on your account).

Thanks in advance!

I believe they were hard-coded into the Vision pack you had before...if you changed it, its gone

I had a grandfathered plan, with unlimited SMS. When I tried the free 2 months for Ready Link, they changed my plan and I given 100 text messages per month. When I checked my usage when my bill came out, I was ticked! I called 2 reps, who said I never had unlimited SMS, and finally asked to talk to a supervisor. She looked and changed me back. It can be done! Just need to talk to someone high enough who can do it for you.

How long ago was this within the last few weeks?

[B]UPDATE: If you have "grandfathered" Vision aka an Old Vision Plan. all you have to do is call Customer Care and ask for what Vision code you have. They should give it to you without any trouble. My Sprint Rep looked through a few accounts and could only find newer Vision codes.

The Old Codes are still active (but are not listed), if you have an older code it will work with the old vision plan.

I will pay $20.00 for anyone successfully able to get me the code for the older Vision Plan with either Unlimited SMS or $10.00 Vision.

lol...good one

Well from my experience once the rl trial breaks the vision codes giving you unlimited sms free you are truly screwed.....I lost my unlimited texting on 2 lines and I have been forced to pay for it....ever since because I use it. So my advice is to not do the rl trial if you dont want your sms screwed up......We discussed this about 3 months ago after I discovered why my sms was changed.....alot of people had the same thing happen only one person got his corrected....that I know of.

Sprint reps will tell you it never existed and when I have them look up the one line that still has it they say it was a free trial when that phone was activated.....bull**** that phone wasnt a rl phone so it never had the rl vision activated on it

I called and talked to a Supervisor and they offered me 50% off my next bill because of the mess. there was NOTHING he could do to get my Unlimited SMS back for free.

steveholtam · 10-03-2004, 09:50 PM

I got 50% off my next bill for a similar issue. They tried to give me free pcs to pcs, but that code is now gone unless you add a line! Crazy stuff going on...

yea I still have my unlimited M 2 M for free on my acct.

TRDSecondGlance · 10-03-2004, 10:08 PM

I just had this happen about 2 weeks ago. After reading through the forums deciding on what I should do, I called Sprint and a Rep just acccessed the old system to get the codes. (That's what he said he did) and said that he fixed everything. I'll find out when my next bill comes out.

I told the guy that I have one plan with two phones. One phone had unlimted text messaging and one didn't. I told him that it just didn't make sense why one would have unlimited text messaing and one didn't.

If you have vision premium $15 on your plan, you get 100 free sms txt msging and you can also add $5 for unlimited sms txt. but if you dont have vision on your plan you can add unltd sms txt for $10 and $5 for 100 sms txt msgs.

PM me. i can find the code because it still shows up in the expired plan section of what you used to have and should be able to unexpire it. but it cant be added on new.
