(4,205 posts)I was with sprint fore 12 years, had 4 phones......... I dropped one about a year ago, then circumstance arose that I had need of going back to 4 so I tried to get them to activate one and put it back on my plan they would not do it unless I renewed my contract for 2 more years...also they would not let me go to a smart phone on my family/shared plan, they insisted that I had to carry that on a separate data plan...I got fed up with them, my contracts were almost up so I paid them off and bought unlocked phones for each of us and went on from there, bill is about half of what it was, no contract and although I paid full price for a smart phone I got other slightly less "smart" but android phones for all of us have good data/text/voice on all 4 of them now and no contract, can move to another service any time I please... the actually appreciate my business.
