[Q] Sprint Contract changes???

[ScottyBeGood]

I'm picking up my GS3 on Thursday, but unsure whether to get a new contract or stay out of contract. Both have pros/cons and of course financial considerations. When I got my family "Everything 1500" plan 4 years ago it was a good deal then as it is now. Going forward the family "Everything 1500" plan is the same one that is offered and ideally what I would get? Anyone know if there are any changes or variances in the new contracts?

I have the same plan and just renewed my contract. The plan stayed the same.

The plan is the same except for $10 premium data, TEP is changing to $11 for new LTE devices, and $150 deductible. There are a lot of little things here and there but overall it's the same. You could change insurance to the $4 a month plan which covers defective devices but not lost are stolen phones. Still a really good price over other plans imo.

The deductible refers to if you lose your phone or what not, break your screen in half and they have to eat the cost of the first phone (whether getting it back in terrible physical condition or not at all) and replace it with a new phone.

Just the same for car insurance, when you bring in your car and it needs repairs, if you have a $500 deduct and the total bill is $1500, you pay $500 and the insurance pays the rest.

Hope that clears that up logically,

Its the new deductible cost of replacing a "smart" phone . Changes were made earlyer this year from Sprint.

I had to call them to activate the phone: the online system would not let me activate on the everything 1500. The operator even tried her best to activate the phone without charging me any more for insurance on it, poor girl. $1 bump in insurance from my OG Epic, no big deal.

i have a ton of freebies like 5pm nights..pick 6, free incoming minutes, etc

I always talk with a live person and make sure none of the add ons will fall off before activating a new phone

I have activated 3 phones in the last 12 months without any issues that way

you have to do a "manual activation" rather than "automatic"

I usually, only, speak with tech support in activating my new phones since they are more knowledgeable from my experience
