Sprinting from Sprint
[ rakaur on Thu Oct 05 at 05:47 PM // category: life, technology ]
So, Sprint sucks ass.
My phone died yesterday. I put it on the charger, and went to bed. I woke up. My phone did not. It refuses to turn on no matter what I do. So, what are my options?
Drop Sprint. Fuck you. Good bye.
This is what would really be nice. Unfortunately, I can’t afford an early termination fee.
Buy a new phone at discount, sign another two years with Sprint.
This is what I was thinking about doing, because it’s the cheapest. The thing is, I’d have to renew the contract. Being with Sprint for another two years doesn’t sound all that bad until I remembered—oh wait—I’d rather die.
Buy a new phone at retail price, and just suck it up until my contract’s over.
If I’m going to buy a new phone at full price, why oh why would I bother to stay with Sprint?
Cancel my line, and change my mom’s plan.
This is what I wanted to do. I thought, “Hey, I’ll drop my line from her plan, change her plan to a cheaper one, and let her just renew for two years.” Oh wait, dropping even just my line would incur an early termination fee. This is what pisses me off. I can’t even drop just one line without fucking myself. I tried to call customer service, but I got nothing but a bunch of Pakis that don’t understand what the fuck I’m talking about and just keep repeating “Ok, so you want new phone? Ok.”
Suspend my line, switch my other line to an individual plan.
This is actually what I have to do. If I just suspend my line, it’s $10 a month (which is cheaper than the termination fee), which I can manage. That way, I can just say “fuck you, Sprint” and get a new plan, and my mom can have her own plan because you can move phones from a family plan to an individual plan. She still has to renew for two years, but she doesn’t care.
How much fucking bullshit is all of this? I feel like I’m really sticking it to them by only paying $80 for a phone I’m not using instead of $175 for a phone I’m not using. I’m still paying for a phone I’m not fucking using.
I’ll be switching to Helio. No contracts.
