So sprint terminated my service contract because i was using to much data or using it the wrong way but for the last two an a half months i haven't even been using my rooted phone as a hotspot so i don't know why i would be using to much data or using it the wrong way but my phone has been acting dumb lately and my internet service has been poor but i haven't been roaming i don't think but what i am wondering is how long until i can get another contract on sprint since they terminated it for me ?? any help will be appreciated.

So your internet has been poor and you want to get back with Sprint? I was with Sprint for 2 years with horrible data speeds. The best thing I did was switch carriers

I would guess at least six months but it's just a guess. Pretty sure they won't let you sign one for awhile tho.

You can call CS, and ask for the specifics of why you were dropped. If you believe them to be incorrect you can dispute it. Also mention to them the fact that your Data speeds were garbage, and it would be difficult for you to max your Data with those speeds. Don't forget to ask them my favorite question. What is the meaning of Unlimited :rolleyes:

Say u signed a new contract n u got the latest phone for next to nothing. Then u go hog wild with data first month n they cancel your contract. Do they try n get your phone returned to them or just eat it?

Well have you updated your PRL? Because once I used the Verizon PRL which made me roam even though it said I wasn't. You can only use 300 MB of data while roaming. (I got a warning for it)
Also when you get your bill look at your data usage.

Perhaps it was slow because you where unknowingly using it?

For the mean time I would just go with T-mobile

No, as far as I know you do not have to return the device. But you do I believe get charged as if you terminated your contract early.

I think you would get charged for not following your contract and "abusing" data. It is in the terms and agreements

Doing the math it wouldnt work out very well.
Pay $200 for the phone
Pay $35 for the activation fee
Pay roughly $80 for the month of service
Possibly pay up to $350 for the ETF.

The phone is probably only sellable for $500 anyways.

I have to agree, just be forewarned: Their "unlimited" is the same as Sprint's, just instead of having full unlimited access to 4G, you get 2 GBs of 4G and the rest is 3G or worse...:rolleyes: Worth a shot, I would still just make sure that you dispute it, too, just in case some kind of data follows you like in a credit check. I'm paranoid, though.

I average between 18-25GB on my line. My wife a steady 17GB. The other lines about 14GB each. So quite a bit altogether. My all time high was traveling, 26GB.
