change in plan : charge activation fee of $36?

I recently added the free nights and weekends feature to my old plan that
only has 300 minutes for $30 . the catch was I had to sign a 1 year
contract.

I received an email from Sprint a couple of days later detailing the change
in plan. Basically the same as the old plan except for the FN&Wstarting at
8pm.

When I looked at the bottom of the email ie the fine prints I noticed the
sentence "Non refundable charge of $36 activation fee per line". Will
Sprint charge activation fee for a change in service plan?

No. That's the activation fee for adding or changing a phone, nor for
changing plans or options on the plans.

They didn't on me when I switched from the old 300 for 30 deal to the new
F&C plans.
I actually switched plans though. Maybe added the feature on is different
than switching plans?

I need to double check on this. My call center is almost exclusively=20
business customers, and they don't pay an activation fee. I was=20
trained on this, but it's been so long since I looked at this.

Bob, are they currently charging an activation fee for an ESN change while
under contract?

If you're on a Retail plan, and you change phones it's $36.

Depends, from what I understand. If you are on a business plan, no. If you
do it through the website, unless you are activating an old 2G phone, I
believe you will charged.

If one calls the SPCS CS line or goes to the store, I believe you will be
charged. All these points are based on being a current customer. Not sure
whether someone who ports a number over to SPCS will be charged though ...

Don't you get it, Steve? Because it isn't objectionable under The=20

Spoken like a *competent* CS rep. When in doubt of current offerings
that he doesn't deal with on a regular basis, he admitted he should
look them up to be sure of the accuracy as offerings not associated
with his CS base may change without his knowledge.

Lay off the BS Phillipe...I have never seen anyone so bent with
a negative attitude as you have. You obviously have a dysfunctional
personality flaw.

In my view, JR, he probably has no life at all outside of the internet.
Here's a list of time stamps from his posts of the past few days,
in this newsgroup alone. I understand he haunts other newsgroups, too.

Seeing the list, when would he have time to do anything productive?

His server uses the Pacific Time Zone for its time stamps.
Opinion here seems to be that he actually posts from beneath a bridge
somewhere near Houston.
If that's true, mentally add two hours to each time stamp for his local =
time.

Your covering up Sprint scerwing over customers, and then your
pretending to help
