Re: I was promised free touch pro
Well I had an idea.. I dont know how Sprint's TEP works exactly.. But I know I have it.. (I do know a lot about Sprint but still...).. If I just swapped my Touch for another Touch and then sold the brand new phone on ebay.. then used that money to buy a used Touch Pro and then activated it.. Could I swap that for a new Touch Pro from them? Or would they not let me since I didnt buy it from them? Or would they even know I guess is my question.. My guess would be that they would not really know the difference?

Re: I was promised free touch pro
Yes, I would assume so. But since i'm only 5 months in(this time around after re-upping), it doesn't seem too big of a deal to me. But my daughter's line is a third add on for my account so it is probably treated separate as far as the contract is concerned. I don't think it would extend all of my phones......you know, I'm really not sure how they do that.

One of my lines has an upgrade (has not been upgraded for 2 years) and then they never mentioned applying the credit towards a Touch Pro.. They said maybe I could activate it on that line and then switch it.. But then they informed me I wouldnt get the rebate so I said screw that.. But can I apply the discount to my line instead? ...If I get a new Touch I am not messing with any refurbs.. But yeah.. I could get a new Touch.. Sell it.. Apply the credit on the upgrade to my line and buy a TP :) --------- New Post Merged on 23/11/2008 at 11:43:21 -------- Quote:

Another option is to add ANOTHER line to your account, if you don't mind an additional 9.99 monthly charge on your account and have your # moved over to it(and features) and then you would have a back up line i suppose. This was another thing that the same CSR tried to talk me into when I was trying for the touch pro swap. Had to give her credit, she was trying to help me out in the only way she was allowed. But that is when i found out they were no longer doing the pro swap. |

Re: I was promised free touch pro
Hopefully my plan to get a TP works. Mines is sort of wierd..
I got a call from Sprint right after I posted a thread on Wckediden. It was a rep asking if I was satisfied with my all around service. I made something up and said that my phone had been dropping calls since I upgraded. I don't know if I just got special treatment...but what happen was: She transferred. I told the tech that my Touch had been dropping calls everywhere but I didn't care until it dropped a business call. She said she would send out another Touch to me. I took Dash's advice and pressed for a new phone. The tech agreed. THEN I asked nicely that since im going to get a NEW phone anyways if I could get the "upgraded version". She placed me on hold and said, "Sure, you just have to pay the overnight shipping of $14." I was like HELLS YEAH!! Then I acted stupid and asked if it was the keyboarded version (I mentioned that I didn't like texting on Touch)..... She said, "I am sorry sir, I would be more than happy to but the Touch Pro is currently out of stock (mother-f^$#%ing arrgg!!). I do have the Touch Diamond prepared to ship to you, is that ok?" I was soo dissapointed but I didn't want to rock the boat anymore and lose an oppertunity (even if she left notes, like dash said, other reps wont swap for shit!). Now I have a TD and a spare Touch. The TD is very nice, but the TP is nicer. I plan to call Sprint back and tell them I still do not like the texting on the TD and if I could swap into a TP that I originally asked for. Even if it doesn't work out, I think I still did good. Wish me luck! Some stats; I'm abusing SERO $30 and extended my contract last August for another 2 years unti 2010 (that would total 4 years.) I don't know if thats a factor. |

Re: I was promised free touch pro
mannn this morning was crazy. i was on the line with sprint for almost 2 hours this morning. they would just not budge. i told them that i asked for a TP since the beginning and they said that since the td and tp are diff phones that they could not process a swap.
i spoke to 3 moronic reps, 1 head moron (supervisor) and 1 retentions (she was a real d!ck!). she kept on saying that the best they could offer me is the new customer price (like $300 then 100 back in rebate or some crap) and to send back the td and get reimbursted my shipping back (14$). she kept on avoiding my points and repeated the same shit over and over again. i told them that was not fair. that i should be given a tp like i wanted and to take back the td EVEN. in the end, the rep spoke to a second retentions (supposedly) and said that the person who offered me the td in the first place would be emailed and contact me back by wednesday to resolve this. I don't know what to do next!! I told them that if i dont get a call back by wednesday that I will be calling back wanting my goddamn pro LOl.... I think I should take this up with ecare or you think I should retry calling back wed? |

Re: I was promised free touch pro
the way i got a td i got to keep my vogue. ill probably use it, i guess, as a back up or activate it on another sero lines of mines.
tomm is the big day.. if i this fails ill b ok with the td. i just hope i get a hell-of a deal or an even trade. im not paying anything over $100. anybody have any advise on what i should do/say? my problem was posted a bit earlier in this thread. |

Re: I was promised free touch pro
You would have to be really persuasive and get to retentions.....it is based on revenue....if you have four lines and bring in a lot of money for them....and threaten to leave when ur contract is up, u might have some luck.....but u really need to explain why the mogul isn't doing what it is supposed to....due to factory defects or something

Re: I was promised free touch pro

--------- New Post Merged on 26/11/2008 at 04:29:53 -------- By the way.. I just emailed Sprint.. I used up all the possible space I could hahaha Ok heres what I said incase it works and others need the info =] InformationHi, I was wondering if it was possible to get a swap for the HTC Touch Pro phone because I am having a lot of issues with my HTC Touch such as freezing while trying to answer calls, text message lagging and screen becoming unresponsive while typing to the point where I have to restart my phone to make it work again, Random freezes while running nothing at all, Have to restart multi times a day for it to work correctly, The worst is the freezing while trying to answer calls especially if it is a work related call.

I went to a sprint store to try and get a newer vogue (mines is scratched up on the sides) and told them that my phone has always been dropping calls. They turned me away by saying they "fixed" the problem. I never returned. Then maybe a week or so ago I got a courtesy call from sprint (arent i lucky?) asking if i was enjoying service or if I had any problems. What happen was basically in this order: Dropping calls, horrible store service, rep/tech/retentions/whomever it was apologized, "can I get a new phone and not a refurb?", "can i have the updated version of the touch?", only paid overnight shipping of $12/14. And now I have a TD and a spare Vogue. It just sucks that they were out of stock of TPs (and I think they still are). I will give getting a TP another try and see what happens once they are back. Oh and btw, I have TEP on my plan. I'm guessing it helps if you have complete insurance. Last edited by tehdefiant1; 11-26-2008 at 05:06 PM. |

Re: I was promised free touch pro
THIS IS A BUMP! SO PEOPLE WILL READ IT :)
Ok Sprint wont budge for me =\ Anyone got any other ideas? I emailed him and the rep said the most I can do is call Asurion and get a refurbished Touch and I was like thinking why would I want that? EVER? So I am not sure what to do.. Should I email again? And complain more? Or contact retentions or tell them more stuff is going on or what? =\ Im really tired of NOT having a keyboard |

They charge me every month about 3 bucks for a game on a phone that is my mom's on our plan.. she doesnt even know how to download a game.. and the game is NOT on her phone but we pay for it.. its been happening for like months... its racking up lol finally i got the game charge off by going into the content manager on her phone and it said we payed for it but we didnt and we have told them but yeah.. so thats a mistake because we didnt do it.. its a huge one... but lets see.. they have messed up a LOT of times but usually i just call and they take it off.. like there was a data charge for 70 bucks on a line that had unlimited data and the lady told me i would be fine using data the day i took the plan off (before i took it off) and then i got charged... oh and i have had 6 bad Moto Q's all with dust inside that the tech said to even swap out because it will mess up the processor if it gets deep inside.. before they gave me my Touch because of it... Umm... They took picture mail off my account without asking me once.. (We got them to take my data bill in half.. and they said I would not loose features but instead they took off TV, Pic mail, and Music store without telling me) yeah they have messed up..

Re: I was promised free touch pro
You know whats funny after I was reading back through all of these. I can tell you it is all who you get on the line (In retentions Dept.) Because I had to call in 4 times and state my cause over and over again. The first three were saying just what everyone else was getting told.
After I got the fourth rep, I got a young gal, and I kind of hit on her (Now I know it sounds dumb, but when someone likes you more, and you arn't just another dick customer, and you treat them with respect, and say I know this isn't your fault but I am so frustrated (with whatever this situation is), then they are WAY more willing to do things for you.) Anyways, kind of hit on her or whatever you want to call it, played it cool, asked her where the calling center was out of that she was at, and after a short talk on that, I said hey listen what can you really do for me? She said well the TP is still back ordered, and then she said BUT......RIGHT then I interrupted her and was like she is willing to do it! So I jumped on it and said you know what if you can tell me I will be getting something diff. from what I have now, and all I have to do is wait a week or two even, then I am willing to wait. She said ok, and ran the order through. I didn't even have to pay for shipping. So play it cool, and be respective to the REP. and don't give up on the first try either.. Good luck peeps.....(man I feel dirty) hahah! BUT I LOVE IT! |
