New job. They handle the phone allowance as a corp phone so I will close down my current Sprint line.

My plan was to sell my S3 on ebay and just take it in the shorts cause the breakeven is 3 months.

So my question is has anyone had any success negotiating the ETF down.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

John

Just from a logical point of view it would make no sense for Sprint to reduce an ETF on someone they're already losing as a customer.

The ETF is the price you agreed to pay if you early terminated.

 

There are people that scam there way out of ETF, but not really the appropriate thing to do. I don't know of anyone negotiating the price down outside of outright scamming.

Recently upgraded, the only thing that changed from last time was the $350 would go down $20 for every month after one year.

 

But other than that I'm not sure you can negotiate the ETF.

You can tell them you are being deployed to another country on something....other than that your ETF would go down every month.

Unless you could provide documented proof of such a claim, you'd just be wasting your time and their's.

Agreed on the latter count. Discussion of trying to defraud Sprint is verboten.

Sheesh...sorry...won't do it again

 

No "sheesh" or apology necessary. Just know that the intent of S4GRU is to help each other learn about Sprint, Network Vision, and general wireless topics. But S4GRU is not here to help find the latest ETF loophole, tethering workaround, etc. There are plenty of other sites for that kind of unsavory activity.

I have not changed service since 1988. I would never defraud our service men.

In my mind it is a fair question. I thought maybe someone may have insight into a sprint program for such instances.

Heck I even asked why the company didn't have a Sprint deal. Just cause Sprint wrote it in the contract doesn't mean you can't ask. Over those 25 years I have spent $35000 in service and who knows how much in phones to use that service. In my mind. $200 + $350 = $550 for a phone is laden with "wiggle room"

Pillow, with a bit of condescension, all in here probably have negotiated on things in their lives and that is not really the point of most of the replies to your question...what is germane to the discussion is that this question belongs elsewhere not on a site that has at its core mission the understanding of NV, its rollout in various locales, and implications for Sprint subs; this question would be better put to the Sprint Users Group forum or any of probably three forums on wireless communications..no offense meant..just saying..

I don't have a problem with asking, "is there any legitimate way to get out of paying my ETF when I close my Sprint account?"

 

Asking for or giving advice to be dishonest, deceptive or in violation of Sprint's T&C's or the law is where the conversation draws the line in regards of our posting guidelines...and common morality.

      While I've been loath to update my Samsung devices past the May 2022 update to keep the Band Selection tool, I note that it looks like Android 14 is going to add Timing Advance for NR to the API.  (Was looking today as I have another Verizon A42 5G now that I'm going to unlock for T-Mobile, and wanted to figure out if I should let it update or not.)  Since I can technically make band changes from *#73#, on the A42 5Gs, I can probably live without the Band Selection tool if a later Android version adds something useful like TA values. I assume SCP will be updated to support that once it becomes publicly available.  The real question is whether or not the phones will support it.  My S21FE and A42 5G devices do on LTE, but I know the S22 and the A32 5G do not support it even on LTE, providing just zero in that field. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      The A23 5G appears to support all of the Dish NR bands except n26 which they don't even own yet, and n29 which as SDL can't be logged as far as I can tell.  https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=6760  I mean, n71, n66, and n70 are there, and those are the ones I'm most concerned about. I know that's not trade press, but I've found Phone Scoop to tend to be missing bands rather than including bands that should be there. I don't really care if it's carrier locked; if I'm buying a device specifically for Dish, then I'm probably not switching it out in the immediate future. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      I mapped out the various phone choices to Dish's NR bands.  Used trade press for many of the phones, which can be unreliable.  Just starting with N71, you are down to three phones: Moto G Stylus 5G 2022, Moto Edge+ (2022), Celero 5G+.  Add in the less frequent n66 and you are down to: Moto G Stylus 5G 2022, Moto Edge+ (2022).  The Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 then walks away with the rest of the bands.   A negative is even if you pay cash, the phone is carrier locked for a year.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      After nearly a month T-Mobile seems to be finally expanding n25 beyond the initial 5 sites they were using. However, it seems to be quite the mess. The three sites near me are all using different size channels. I'm getting a 5Mhz channel that's only using the G Block, a 15Mhz channel that's using the C Block, and a 20Mhz channel that's using C+G, each from a different site all next to each other. Very confusing.
