Beginning in May Sprint will offer a different type of plan - it will offer set
number of minutes for XXX - then will charge a set amount for different blocks
of minutes - you will pay for minutes you actual use and there will be no
unused minutes. And no I don't work for Sprint but know someone who does and
the announcement was made to employees this week. Not sure how many this will
benefit but it is a different slant from current style of plans. For instance
if someone now has a 2000 minute plan because they use over 1000 minutes
monthly they pay for 2000 minutes even though their usage is around 1500
monthly. With the new plan they will pay the amount for a plan but will pay
for only the amount used over the planned minutes.

Depends on the pricing. Sounds possibly good. The devil is in the
details.

This is the reason the call center reps are kept the last to know.

Without confirming or denying anything, something is in the works,
yes. We've been specifically told *not* to release it.

I'm begging my managers to make CSR's part of the information flow.
But, as long as there are people like this among us, it's unlikely to
change.

Don't worry, the sales people in the stores are like this, too.
Interesting how if a piece of information is put out over the tech
call, it doesn't go all over the internet, yet they say something to
the sales and customer service people, here it is.

...and they wonder why I keep all my marketing briefs on new equipment
hidden until I see that equipment on my in-transit report.

Confirmation or not, information like this shouldn't released until
we're told it's OK to.

You don't see me here announcing what's coming down the pike.

The person who told me this works in a Call Center - and it was announced by
Team Leadsto their Team - nothing was said about not "leaking it" - maybe
different management types in different Call Centers.

Nothing dishonest about labeling your confirmation of new Sprint plans,
as such.

I'm willing to admit that I've been trained on what's coming. And I
can tell you it's on every single page of the literature SPCS put out
on it. Confidential. Not for public release.

There's no room for misunderstanding that.

When is the " Fair and Flexible " plan coming out ? Maybe other
providers will follow . I hope it is not just another marketing ploy
whith $ gotchas to just somehow fool consumers into sign an adhesion
type contract but this happens too much in the wireless industry and
I would like to see all of them with retail unlocked phones and
prepaid and/or no contract .)

I am guessing that you don't lose unused minutes, but you almost
certainly are required to purchase more minutes next month. Thus, if
you have a 500 minute plan and only use 450 minutes, next month at the
start of billing you will have 550 minutes available. If you use 450
minutes again that month, you will have 600 minutes availble the
following month. I am sure it is just a rollover plan. I highly doubt
they could recover aquisition costs any other way.

Embarressment to SprintPCS. Always labeling anyone who disagrees with
him as a liar.

You already confirmed its true.

you posted a liar.
