How long before Sprint will take me back?

[oakleyrdc1]

As you probably already read from my previous thread, Sprint gave me the boot two weeks ago so I went with AT&T. However, I don't think I can deal with this data cap thing that they have going on over yander. In just three days, I have used up half of my data without doing anything that you can say is excessive. I watched maybe one tv episode and streamed like four YouTube videos. What the hell? Anyway, by any chance or experience with a situation like mine, do you know how long you have to wait before Sprint considers you back?
Oh crap...didn't realise I was in the hack and root section. This belongs in the regular section. Sorry, modders. Is there a way to move this?

I am in the process of getting the boot. I received my first warning letter about a month ago. I would like out only because I don't have 4g with sprint in my area. Only att. Did you receive a warning letter first and then a termination notice? If so, how long after the warning did you get terminated? And to answer your question, I heard 90 days before Sprint will take you back. Your kinda on probation.

cut for roaming hell I work around Paine Field in Everett WA (the Lazy B) and there's dead spots all over up there I get hit w/ roaming all the time!!! the beep beep beep in my pocket at least 1 or 2x a night! and yet on the Sprint map its green as hell in coverage there!.......I left ATT cause I had an unlimited Data Plan on a phone I had and when I upgraded to iPhony4 the pricks that they are capped me @ 2gb!
Then when I looked into upgrading to the Galaxy S3 they were looking to really put it to me in data fees so I dashed....this was before T-Mo announced an unlimited data plan yet I really don't care for them either coverage wise plus with the big 3 Verizon ATT & Sprint they give 25% discounts to Lazy B employees but not T-Mo....

Moral of story "When you deal w/ dogs you get fees!"

arg I was thinking he was bagging ATT. But still it don't make sense Sprint subsidises a 500 dollar phone, then eats $350 to get rid of him without an ETF? It don't add up<shruggs>

In order for Sprint to offer free "unlimited" roaming, they must eat the cost of using other networks. When you are roaming over half of the time, you are no longer profitable for Sprint and they will suggest you find a carrier that can provide you better service in your area.

This was my situation right here. I was data roaming over 50% so they were losing money with me.

Marcus L.: Did you get a message from Sprint that you are using data on roaming
Customer: No, I have not. I have just read a few stories.
Customer: From what I have heard there is no warning before termination for roaming too much. I was only curious to check and see how much data I am using while roaming.
Marcus L.: Please don't worry if you not on Sprint network and use data on off network roaming you will get a message from spring about that
Marcus L.: YOu can use upto 300mb on off network roaming
Customer: CAn you look at my account and see how much I use?
Marcus L.: Let me see
Marcus L.: Thank you for waiting
Marcus L.: I have checked and till now you have used 29mb and you can use upo 300mb on data roaming
Marcus L.: *Upto
Customer: Monthly? correct?
Customer: I just upgraded to my phone with you guys and just wanted to be sure everything is good
Marcus L.: No well if you continue using data on roaming you will a notification and after that if you still do it then your service will be disconnected after the notification
Marcus L.: *Receive notification
Customer: So 300mb roaming data is the cap for the life of my account?
Marcus L.: Yes that's right
Customer: That's a bit scary. So It would be safest to disable my data raoming on my phone?
Marcus L.: could you tell me do you have poor coverage of sprint?>
Marcus L.: In your area?
Marcus L.: Yes i would suggest you to turnoff the data roaming
Customer: No, I have pretty good coverage just about everywhere I go.
Customer: So I have only used 29mb then in the 2 years I have had my first andriod device?
Marcus L.: All right then just take care of it and rest is fine because you have unlimited data on your plan
Marcus L.: Smartphone consume lot of data because it keeps updating the apps and internet is running at the background and you would not even know it sometimes
Marcus L.: I would suggest either disable data roaming or keep checking the talk manager on your phone
Marcus L.: It tells you what about all running application in your phone
