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 $0.75, giving customers until January 1 of this year to back out without a penalty. It seems that $0.75 wasn't going to cut it as Sprint has raised its fee yet again, this time to $0.99. 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."
News for niggards, stuff that matters!
[Look it up kids, it's not a racial slur. It had to alliterate, so it was really my only choice.]
I considered not posting anonymously because I just don't care any more--but /. is getting lame. All of the cool tags are gone and the reply average is going down. It looks like the genericification is taking hold. Is this because of the economy? It seems like a bad strategy. Don't they want people to visit and have fun here or is it now just about mainstream news? What did I build all of that karma for?
