Sprint petition

[loveracing1988]

Hello,

I didn't see anything in the rules section against this, but if it is against the rules I apologize in advance.

Since every other carrier is charging $299.99 for the Note 3 and Sprint it charging $349.99 I was hoping that we could petition Sprint to lower the price down to everyone elses level. I'm hoping that if I get enough people behind this a lot of people can save some money.

https://www.change.org/petitions/sprint-lower-the-2-year-contract-price-of-the-samsung-galaxy-note-3-to-299-99-like-other-carriers#

Thank you for looking and sorry if you disagree with me, I'm just a person trying to try not to get ripped off. If anyone on here has a reason for me as to why they are charging more for it than other carriers, please post it, but please post facts and have proof to back it up. Everyone gave me reasons on Sprints facebook page but no one wants to post any facts to back it up.

Thanks for signing it. Apparently everyone else doesn't care how much they pay for a phone however.

Signed bro... as I said on the petition this is one of MANY reasons I switched over to T-Mobile, which actually is offering the N3 for $199 btw.

So much for all carriers are offering it for $299 eh?

That's 199 up front and $21 a month for 2 years! 21x24 is $504 plus the $199.99 up front and that's $703.99 over the two years.

Cool Petition though, I hope it gets you somewhere! **Signed**

Signed it for you as well, going to be ditching these guys soon anyway. Good luck.

Since when has a petition REALLY done anything in a situation like this?

If you really look at it, Sprint is not really any cheaper than verizon anyway.
voice-data coverage and speed once you do get data..

Sprint does offer unlimited data, but its more expensive than any other carrier for like 1% of
the coverage of any other carrier, and when you finally do find data its terribly slow.

Also, if you just wait a few weeks you can probably get it much much cheaper..

I'm in the UK and this will have no effect over here, however, I've still signed it. Hope the price comes down following this petition.

I'm on AT&T, but I can understand wanting the same price as others. Signed.

 

[CDKJudoka]

Signed it as I want the N3 soon.

I have never seen so many people worked up over $50 before. You'd think it was a bank breaker the way some of you guys are whining and threatening to switch to T-Mobile, which actually turns out to be full retail price if you know math.

I understand you want it to be the same across carriers, I get it. That would be ideal, but seriously guys, it's $50, not $100. Sprint won't care how many people sign this petition.

Petition signed...

Also the T-mobile $199 myth is fascinating.... I spoke with a rep yesterday and she said not to move over from my current company..

What's more fascinating is that people fall for it! And upgrade twice a year, when ever you want. But what happens to the balance from your last phone?? Yeah pay it off or your bills goes UP!

You turn in your last phone and start over.

For some folks it the principle of the situation. For some others, they have no discernable arithmetic skills what so ever.
Yeah T-mobile I am bashing you....

I understand that, but when you think about how Sprint is the cheapest carrier out of the 4, their pricing strategy suddenly starts to make sense. I'd rather pay a lower monthly bill and have them continue to undercut the competition at the expense of $50 added to a contract phone than to have the phones be the same price across the board with higher monthly bills. They have to make money somehow. You can't continue stay competitive and lose out every quarter. That's stupid business.

Of course,

I am a Sprint customer as well, the $50 pricing discrepancy doesn't really sway me one way or the other. I have a unlimited and I have a family plan. I have priced the competition over the years and I haven't found anything close to what I pay over a calendar year.

I have come to terms with the Tri-band fiasco, I just wish they would come out and say something that made absolute sense about the how's and the why's... It's not 1995 anymore news and especially things like pricing and service related news, travels fast and then blows up into Sprint bashing fodder on various internet sites.

I had two people over hear a conversation I had last night and left T-mobile to join Sprint... Math skills ftw!!

Nice to know there are still some very level headed logical thinking people out there! Agreed fully.

You turn in your last phone and start over.

So essentially they will give you a trade in value of whatever you owe (as long as the phone isn't smashed) and you start the new payment plan. Gotcha!
