Finally free of Sprint!
« on: May 26, 2016, 07:45:38 AM »
Okay, it's not a the most badass, but I'm so relieved to be done overpaying for phone/text/data I don't really use.

Three months ago, I made the jump from Sprint to Ting. (We picked Ting so we could BYOD instead of buying new phones on Fi or Revolution.) However, I still had a stupid Galaxy tablet under contract for another month. So instead of paying $100+ to kill the tablet plan, I opted to just pay $10+taxes for one more month of tablet data. Fine.

Well it turns out that Sprint doesn't refund you for unused plan if you cancel it early. So as a fluke of timings between my billing cycle and when I called to cancel the tablet plan (which was the very day the contract ended), I ended up paying for 3 months of a tablet I don't use ($30+taxes). Today I just got the final "You've made changes to your account" e-mail from Sprint, and I just confirmed on their website that I have 0 devices on my account!

So now I can (finally) officially say I saved $120/month by switching to Ting!


ETA - Here's my referral code if anyone else is ready to make the jump: https://zds8505smfe.ting.com/

My sprint bill was about 75 a month, now it is 30 a month. My wifes AT&T was close to 90 but is now about 44. What are the rates on ting? We will probably move my wife over to sprint, 30 dollars is not bad.

Ting charges based on how much you use (which tier your usage labs in). We are M in every category. Be aware that these rates don't include taxes. https://ting.com/rates

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
