Sprint puts a freeze on Upgrade Now
Share:
Other signs that the Upgrade Now freeze is temporary is the memo's use of the phrase "temporarily discontinued". The memo notes that Upgrade Now offers have already been removed from the system. For now, if you're a Sprint customer, you can't bribe the timekeeper. If you want that LG Optimus G at the subsidized price, you're going to have to wait for your upgrade to hit just like everyone else.

How do you know that???
Have you tried making a call and suffered severe reception break-up?
Have you tried making a call only to have the call constantly drop?
Are you using their painfully slooooooow 3G Data services?
Do you have a 4G LTE phone but, can only still get 3G?
Have you had any bad experiences with their Out-Sourced Customer Calling Centers in India; Pakistan; Singapore; Dominican Republic or Canada (among others)???
Just wondering...........

AT&T's version of this is you pay 250.00 + 2 yr contract price of any smartphone if you want it earlier than your upgrade date. You can call customer care, and if you are a good customer and 6 weeks away from an upgrade, and ask for the upgrade now by asking for a manager. I know someone who got a Galaxy S3 early and another friend purchased an iPhone earlier than his upgrade date...only over the phone, though, and, you may still be told 'no'.

Jeez, $250 when you're only 6 weeks away from an upgrade? That's a bit heavy, but at least they offer something

It was a nice way to get people a new phone early, but I'm sure it cost them a hefty price in some instances. They'd rather get your normal bill those 6 months you're trying to buy out of then to pay a small portion in the form of a small termination fee...
Good for customers with crappy phones, hope it comes back soon

It's not the crappy phones because they have good phones it's Sprint's crappy service!

My upgrade isn't until June, yet Spring offered me an upgrade to keep me. No thanks, pre paid for me from now on. Just call Spring, ask them for your account number, and wait for Spring to start offering you perks to keep you, if you want to stay.

ive seen Sprint push upgrades for as little as $50 to reset your upgrade elig. and then you get the pricing.
