iPad plans questions?

[nancyh1990]

I currently have 2 phones (S3 and Blackberry Tour) on Everything Data Share plan & 1500 Shared Anytime Minutes. I am on Month-to-Month contract.
Just received in ipad Sprints for XMas.
Since I was the store to have the S3 fixed, I inquired of the plans. Since I am not willing to sign a contract (why when I own all the equipment), the sales lady does not seem to interested in getting the best plans for my need.
May I know, if you were in my shoes, what would you do?
Thanks

You're still using a BB Tour (bless your heart)....

I have no idea how all this works but I'd imagine your iPad would be used on your Everything Data Share plan.
I'd call up Sprint and get some concrete clarification; esp based on the fact you're month to month and don't want to sign another 2 yr contract.

As far as getting no help in the store- I wouldn't let that worry you. You'll get better help over the phone talking to someone who can work with you. In store they're great for adding to your acct which in the long run may screw you up and have you signing a new 2 yr so unknowingly she did you a favor.

If I were in your shoes I'd sell the ipad and get a nexus 7/10.


But seeing as how its a gift you probably cant do that. If you want to keep it, just use it as WiFi only. Why pay for a data plan on a tablet? I can't wrap my mind around that

I only use the Tour to email and text. I am so much quicker on the Tour than the S3. Also, having both phones side-by-side, the BB gets email quicker than the S3.

I still have my Tour but when I took it into Sprint (scroll wheel stopped working) I didn't have time to sit around like a bump on a log. This particular store is slow as molasses and the employees spend more time chatting it up with each other than helping customers so I bought the HTC Hero.

I keep saying I want my next tablet to be cellular/wifi.

There is no contract required no matter where you got the ipad from. The plan a lot of my customers have been getting are $15 1GB 3g/LTE and wifi is unlimited obviously. There is also 3GB for $35 per month and 6GB for $50.

The 1GB plan is a promotional plan right now its usually 300mb for the same price. Private message me if you have any other questions.

The $100 off promotion did require a 2yr contract fwiw


I completely forgot to come back and update with the page out of the plan brochure but that is correct..the most popular plan is the temp promotional plan of 1gb for $15/month. We noticed there are plans with a contract agreement listed in the system but no, contract is not required unless it is a special promo like the buy a smartphone get $100 off any tablet.
