Sprint Increasing Insurance Prices, Extending Upgrade Overrides for Silver Customers Who Would Have Been Eligible Through July
Some goods out of Sprint courtesy of the folks at Android Central have just been spilled onto the table. In Sprint’s latest Playbook, they reveal a lot of forthcoming changes. Some good, some bad, but changes nonetheless. First of all, ERP and TEP (insurance, if you didn’t catch it) will go from $4 to $5 and from $7 to $8, respectively. An extra dollar never hurt anyone, no?
Secondly, mail-in rebates are back. Unfortunate, but you had to expect it would end at some point. There are still many places to go to avoid rebates, anyway.
Finally, Silver customers who would have been eligible for an upgrade by July 31st can call customer service and get their upgrade back. Before, it was only available for those who would have been eligible by June.
Sprint customer representatives are told to be proactive in educating their eligible subscribers on the upgrade and to override the system to afford them their last yearly upgrade (that’s unless they’re now Gold customers, of course). Go ahead and give customer service a call at your earliest convenience. [Android Central]
