Do you have a Sprint contract and wish to get out of sprint or haggle for free money on your bills? You can do so because there is a new change to your contract:
Regulatory Charge/Ts&Cs Changes
Effective 1/1/10, the Regulatory Charge will increase to $0.40/line. Visit Sprint Ts&Cs or sprint.com/taxesandfees for details; also effective 1/1/10, the Sprint Terms & Conditions (Ts&Cs) are changing. Please review them carefully at sprint.com or on request.
Since the Regulatory Charge is now an increase of $.40, it’s a major change in their T&Cs. The law states that you can get out of your contract without paying an early termination fee whenever a company makes a material change.
Currently Retention is giving away $20 recurring credit for two years on your bills when renewing your contract. However, it takes a little “hustling” since they will not outright give it to you. They will even make all kind of excuses. You must keep stating it’s the law that I can get out of the contract for the increase in regulatory charge.
To get the $20 recurring credit, you must talk to Retention(they called it “Account Services” now) by dialing
*2 go to “more options” (#5)
Then go to “disconnect your service” (#6)
Tell CSR that you saw the changes online and read them the above quote

and that now you want to get on a month to month contract or that “your friend” got a $20 recurring credit for two years for renewing their contract. If they don’t offer it to you, just call back later to talk to another CSR. It might take you once, twice, or 5 times, but you have the right to get out of the contract. So $20 x 24 = $480, let me know if you got this deal.
**Those with SERO, they probably want you to get out their services, so don’t bluff too hard because they know you won’t leave…I would try to get month to month on the contract, then smooth talk into getting a $20 recurring credit

It’s a recurring credit toward your monthly bill. That’s what I got.
Jeff says
