Personally, I really like my Pre and want to stay with Sprint for as long as possible, so I want to switch my AT&T line over to Sprint. Keep in mind that either of these lines will incur termination fees for switching.
I spoke with AT&T and they told me that they will credit me back the Sprint termination fee if I was to switch over to AT&T (one phone call).
I have been speaking with Sprint for the past 2 days and no one is willing to fight for my business (6 calls). They admit that they can't do anything about the termination fee from AT&T.
My situation breakdown:
AT&T -> Sprint:
ETF: $200
BB Tour: $200
Activation: $37
Shipping: $13
Total: $450 lump sum, $130/month after
Sprint -> AT&T:
ETF: $200 (-$200 credit)
dumbphone: Free
Activation: $30
Total: $30 lump sum, $90~ /month after that
Since I can't afford AT&T's data plan, I will have to get a basic plan with unlimited texting for around 90 for two lines from them.
So, switching to Sprint costs me 450 bucks, switching to AT&T costs me 30.
I have tried over 7 times now (I called once more while typing this post) and spoke with elevated management (or something like that) and apparently, they want me to switch over to AT&T too.
Am I in the wrong to ask Sprint to try to compensate me for the AT&T Termination fee? Is it not fair to them? Should I just let go of my precious Pre and live life with a dumb phone?
What do you guys think? Or, what would be a better way of asking Sprint to help alleviate the pain of the $450 to switch over to Sprint?
That's weird, because just last month my Sprint rep told me that if I had anybody who wants to switch, that Sprint would pay the termination fee.
Good luck with whatever you do. Obviously, right now, ATT = No Pre.
