PSA - Sprint offering upgrade credit

[pyroscott]

I can't believe they keep people on those plans... I've always been forced to upgrade plans when I upgraded phones. It's not like they are making much off those plans.

I'd kill for one of those plans.. I wonder how much longer they'll last.

Since Sprint tiered the plans to allow the uprated devices, I think they will be around for a while. If your in the right circumstance there's no reason to get rid of it. I'm like you, if I could I would get one and happily pay $50/month.

This is my understanding. It went round and round in forums when the iPhone came out. I took a lot of heat from iPhoniacs when I told them that Sprint was going to charge 50 to SERO members for the iOS privellege.

 

Some of those SERO people can be downright crazy. I was told I was jealous' date=' I was told I was stupid, I was told that I should shut up.

 

In the end, I was right. And that was deeply satisfying.

You can see the plans are roughly set based on subsidy and other costs. Even though the iPhone is 3G only (no payment to Clear) the subsidy demands a $50 MRC.

 

If the iPhone was Wimax-capable, you can bet the MRC would be more than $50 or not available on SERO at all.

 

 

I'd kill for one of those plans.. I wonder how much longer they'll last.

 

Only until Sprint becomes successful.
