Sprint canceling your service

[Deleted User]

I have heard people getting letters from Sprint saying Sprint is canceling their service because the person has roamed too much. Let's say I get one such letter. I assume I have x amount of days before service is actually stopped? During that time, I assume I can port my number over to a new carrier?

Has anyone run into this scenario?

I've actually had this letter then 6 months later received another letter stating that I had x amount of days to find a new carrier until my contract is terminated.

But until the service is actually terminated, you can port it over even if the account is suspended I believe.

Thanks. I noticed on my usage page on Sprint's website, the roaming data used to say I used x amount out of unlimited. Now it says I used x amount and see terms. So I was wondering if I close to getting a nasty letter from Sprint.

If you roam ALOT I'd expect you to get one. If not then probably not.

I am half way through my cycle and have used about 600 megs of roaming data. Not sure if that is "a lot" or not....

It happened to one of my favorite developers for the D2Spr, but he wasn't exactly upset. He did say that he was confused as to how it was possible since he almost never roamed (or at least the phone never depicted that it was in roaming). In any event, it just allowed him to jump over to T-Mo and pick up an N4 under their off-contract unlimited plans.

Yeah, part of me wouldn't mind that happening to me ;-) However, I do know why I roam a lot. That is because I force roam on Verizon since Sprint's data speeds are pathetic where I am at....

Don't be surprised then when you eventually receive that letter. You are taking advantage of the company and more or less stiffing the rest of us with the bill. Not cool.
