Upgrade with Amazon Wireless, forced to change plans

Looking to upgrade my wife's phone on the cheap and she is still a qwerty keyboard lover. I was looking at the Motorola Photon Q via Amazon Wireless for the $40.00 upgrade, but I'm not sure how their new plan will affect me over all monthly cost.

 

Currently, I'm on Everything Data Share Plan 1500 which is 110.00/month and each additional line is 19.99. The plan being offered to me is Everything Data Family 1500 for 129.99/month for two lines and each additional line is 19.99.

 

From what I can read, the plan appears to be the same, just the 2nd line is already included. However, I have a free airrave on my account and an employer discount that I don't want to lose.

 

Has anyone upgraded via Amazon Wireless before? Ever run into these issues?

Sprint started showing the MRC on line 1 as 110 when they stopped applying employee discounts to 2nd lines.

 

The plan amazon is showing you is the same plan you have. Amazon is just advertising what sprint advertises outside of how they do itemized billing.

 

As for the free airrave, is it set up as a line on the family plan or a separate line? If separate, no worries. As long as you are telling amazon youre a current customer who is upgrading, the discount will be fine

I used Amazon Wireless for my E4GT purchase and had no problems adding the device on to my existing plan. No plan change was necessary.

Photon Q is now $0.01 on upgrade! And upgrading thru them won't take away your employer discount, so you won't have any issues upgrading.

Another vouch for employer discount. I went through radioshack online and Sprint told me that it has nothing to do with Radioshack. Sprint can do it after if they manage to take it off somehow.

 

The plan displayed higher pricing online, but when the bill came the discount was still applied. If anything, they might want proof like a pay stub or something. That's what they did with us.

any chance anybody knows if sprint matches these online deals? I need to upgrade a line and switch the upgraded phone to a different line.

I don't know if they do, but you could always order the upgrade, and then activate it and then swap back to the old phone and then activate the new phone on the line you want.

I am almost positive that Sprint will not price match.

Haven't had any problems keeping my employer discount. I upgraded through Best Buy Mobile last month. Sprint sent me an email (or text, I forget which) with a link to continue my employer discount. Just had to fill out a couple fields and confirm my work email address, and I was good to go.

    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
