Xoom coming to Sprint tomorrow.

[bsbokc]

Xoom coming to sprint tomorrow still $599. I don't know if I am just easy out of the loop on this or what and a google search told me nothing. But I went into my sprint store today and they told me that the xoom is launching tomorrow. They even offered to let mar have one today but I'm not interested. Just thought I would let you guys know if you didn't already. Like I said couldn't find out on google.

How do you do that. I would jump on this if I could do that.

Wouldn't you have to pay it off on the next bill? I don't like charging stuff to my account because I'd rather pay for it in full. I didn't know you can essentially finance equipment.

That is the way it has always worked with my account...

 

[gqstatus0685]

Just make sure you dont get caught up dude @ the guy who said he would pay it off at his own pace.

the xoom was released on sunday. i ordered one and have it now. none of the stores had it in stock.. perhaps tomorrow they will. i sold my 3G version....

and yes you can charge equipment to your account.

 

[trhonda2000]

I'm a girl btw, and I was told by the Sprint collections department that you do not have to pay it off in full the next billing cycle, that there is no time limit as long as they see you are paying on it, so we will see.

EDIT TO ADD: I was told that I had no limit on my account, not sure if that has anything to do with it. I know Sprint implements "spending limits" to some customers and some have no limit, so not sure if this has anything to do with it.

Too bad they don't have a 3/4G version available. Would love to add it to my unlimited plan.

That's the most insane thing I've heard in a while. I've never heard of anyone doing this. So you're going to float your bill and pay fees and other penalties until you can afford to pay it off? If you have even a slightly good credit rating you could get a $600 credit card with 0% for a year probably...

i added a couple of mobile phones several years ago to my account--not at the same time but one was one year and then a year later or so..

anyway, i paid the mobile handset off across 2 billing cycles at least (phone was like 600 ish then) and had no fees or extra costs.

the main thing was paying your wireless bill on time.

home girl's case may be solid and unique to her case so i am inclined to believe her based on my past experience.

you must not have any limits or ASL on your account and be in good standing with no past due balance. im sure you may know this...

 

[trhonda2000]

From what I was told purchasing "equipment" doesn't incur fees, only your service bill does. I will still pay my service bill on time but the equipment I charged will be paid off in payments. After searching online I too am seeing conflicting information regarding this, so now I'm slightly leary. Worst case scenario I will be sending it back if what I was told was false.

 

[gqstatus0685]

Yeah I've been with Sprint for like 7 years since I was in high school. I don't have a spending limit on my account and pay my bill in full every month and never had one late payment. I don't like to bill to my account but to each is own.

I prefer to just pay it in full just be to be on safe side of things. Good luck with your purchase though but just make sure you call to verify the payment plan options because it's harder to get things fixed when they are screwed up.

I'm only saying to call because every time I call Sprint I get conflicting information and nobody seems to know what they are doing. Also if you want to check your Sprint Credit Worthiness log into your Sprint account then delete the address bar and replace it with this:

javascript:function getYesNo(s){if(s=='Y') {return 'Yes';}else{return 'No';}};alert("Your Hidden Stats:\n\nSprint Financial Value: "+loyaltyAccVal+" of 10 (higher is better)\nCredit Class: "+creditClass+"\nAccount Spending Limit: "+getYesNo(aslFlag)+"\nHotlined Account: "+getYesNo(hotlineFlag));

and hit enter. A box will pop up and that will show you. I believe it would be correlated to the results if they will allow you to bill to your account.

Mines shows:
Sprint Financial Value: 7 out of 10
Credit Class: G1
Account Spending Limit: No
Hotlined: No

 

[trhonda2000]

Well I've gotten conflicting info when calling. When I speak to sales they have no idea and put me on hold to find out and then tell me it has to be paid in full after speaking with the "collections department", when I spoke to someone in billing I was told that it doesn't have to be paid in full and many customers have "made payments" on purchases billed to their account. I would love to pay for it in full but I can't shell out $600 at once so that's why this option appealed to me, if it turns out that's not the case as I stated before I will give them hell and worst case scenario return the equipment.

Yeah just looking out for you. I always call multiple times and ask for a manager because there are a bunch of nifnards working for Sprint.

LOL isn't that the truth! Its going to really piss me off if that's not how it works for my account as I was really looking forward to getting the Xoom and accessories I ordered. I hate calling there because I can never get a straight answer about anything, and the order is already out for delivery so too late to cancel if that's true, I will truly give them hell if I was given false information.

 

[marctronixx]

there is no pay plan. they give you about 2 bill cycles which is plenty. if you need more time, make sure you are showing good faith--by paying your wireless bill and also paid a good portion of yourequipment--this gives you good favor with the account rep and they may be more inclined to help.

we all want to pay our balances off at once--however sprint extends this as a courtesy to their good customers. if you know you can afford the device you can maximize your purchasing power in a short time period.

 

[trhonda2000]

I did call accounting services again to confirm my initial answer towards this. I was told there is no official "payment plan" per say, however they do not "require" you to pay the equipment off the following billing cycle. He did mention as long as you are paying your cell bill and making payments towards the balance there should be no problems, however he recommended that its paid off in a "timely manner". So yep, basically what the poster above me said. We shall see...
