Re: 18 month rule no longer applies ?
The clauses pertaining to new account or new service appear to apply
only to those wishing to qualify for the instant rebate. I don't think
that part applies to existing customers who only want the mail-in rebate.

Re: 18 month rule no longer applies ?
I have a Mail-In Certificate card (LIT64821) that I picked up at the
SF-Van Ness Ave SPCS store on 4/14/2004. It says "purchase and activate
a ... phone ... on a new line of service." The store didn't have
separate card for existing customers, though back in Dec-Jan there was a
separate card for existing customers that had the 18-month rule.
By the way, this card lists some new phone models:
Vision Ready Link Sanyo RL-4920 ($150 rebate 2 yr, $100 1 yr)
Vision LG VI-5225 ($150/100)
Vision Video Samsung VM-A680 ($150/100)(combo old and new numbering
systems!)
Vision Picture Nokia PM-3225 ($150/100)
Vision Picture Sanyo PM-8200 ($150/100)

It's not obvious. I think your interpretation is reasonable based on the
way it is worded on the web site; but others here have insulted me
saying the way I (and you) interpret it is flat wrong.
Suffice it to say SprintPCS should have it worded differently.

The web site changed on 4/14/04. What is the date that card was printed?

The card has no print date or month code, but I would guess it was
prepared and printed before 4/14/2004, which was the date I picked it
up. It does say your sales slip must be dated between 4/4/2004 and
5/15/2004.

So we are left unsure of whether that card may be being superceded by a
new version or whether the web site just has very poor wording of what's
going on. The web site did change on April 14.
SprintPCS is of course free to change its plan any time it wishes.

my view on the 18month deal is that they should've started on whatever date,
but any current customers with a contract they should honor those with the
previous deal. I know after 9 months i upgraded one of my phones. I like
sprint, I just think to be fair that's what they should have done, it would
make the current customers much happier and the new customers coming in
would know ahead of time then. At least the current customers wouldn't be
screwed over because it is kind of a screw job to tell the truth. Just my
opinion.
