Discount Cell Phones from Sprint

I think I paid $4.99 for this in an eBay auction but I share it with whoever wants it for free because that's the kind of guy I am. I'm not sure if this actually works as I just got the information and haven't put it into practice as of today - September 8, 2006 at 8:09 p.m. So without further adieu...

How To Get Discount Cell Phones from Sprint

This step-by-step plan works!

Nextel/Sprint is a business (like all businesses) and they are in it to make money. However, they are able to provide their product for a lot cheaper if you where to go to get it. This can be accomplished in less than 5 minutes on the phone! No rebates to mail in or anything! This is not a scam!

Here is the Step-by-step plan for how to get the phone 50-80% off!

Step #1: Get to the right department
  • Dial 1-800-SPRINT-1 _1-800-777-468-1
  • Press 1 for English
  • Press 2 for Existing Customer
  • Press 2 for “Other Service Needs”
  • Press 2 for Nextel or 1 for Sprint
  • Press 4 for Customer Service (Sprint Customers ask for Retention Department)
  • Press 3 for “Disconnect Service for one your numbers”

    (note: don’t worry about this step…keep reading)

Step #2: Talking with the Retention department You will speak live with a Customer Service agent and tell them that you are thinking about disconnecting your phone service (IMPORTANT NOTE: They get paid money to retain you!). They have to ask “Why do you want to disconnect your phone service?”) Tell them that “I want A NEW PHONE AND Nextel/Sprint is trying to charge me an activation fee and charge for shipping and I have found similar phones cheaper with other cell phone companies.” (Do some quick research so that you are not lying.)

NOTE: Did you know that Home Depot has the same unwritten rule? Most people do not take advantage of this, but if you find the same product for cheaper somewhere else they will match and even beat the price! But what do most people do: Pay retail all day long without even thinking about it. This is perfectly legal and they are allowed to offer you a cheaper price because they want your service and believe me they are still making a profit on the phone! They will ask you which phone you were interested in and they will give you a DISCOUNTED OFFER! They will place the discounted phone on your next bill and ship you the phone! This model has been done over and over again with good success! Back-Up Plan! If you are nervous about this approach (as I originally was) remember this: if they are not giving you what you want, just tell them “you know what, let me think about this first. I’ll call you guys back.” Then, hang up and call right back in!

Step #3: Wait for Your Phone! They will send it free overnight by FedEx! Give it a shot! It really works! There you have it! You will never pay full price for a cell phone again!

*Additionally, try this method more than once if you do not get the offer you want the first time. Each sales rep treats each call differently.

REMEMBER: Cell Phone companies make their money off of you monthly, but they will take your money for the cell phone too if you let them!


Well, that's the instructions I got...good luck and leave me a note to let me know if it worked for you.
