Get Out of Sprint Free
hyades1 writes in to let us know that Sprint has extended to Jan. 31 the time in which subscribers can switch carriers without paying an early termination fee. “Last month we learned that Sprint was increasing its administrative fee to {content}.75, giving customers until January 1 of this year to back out without a penalty. It seems that {content}.75 wasn’t going to cut it as Sprint has raised its fee yet again, this time to {content}.99. Customers now have through January 31 to sever ties sans-ETF, so if you missed the boat last month you’re in luck. Though some customer care reps apparently aren’t yet aware of the change, we did confirm it with Sprint so keep trying and as always, contacting them via chat seems to go a bit more smoothly than calling them up.”
