Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Sprint PCS / July 2004anyone know how to get a newer phone?
We have Sprint service and my son's phone has a broken antennae. Will spring let us upgrade to a newer style or will they try to insist on fixing this one? Tried to upgrade earlier and they said we had to wait 18 months to get the discounts but that was before the antennae was broken. He has had the phone for 1 year. It seems to me that if it isn't working well that they would rather him be spending his minutes rather than not bothering to use the phone. > We have Sprint service and my son's phone has a broken antennae.

Try Costco why Costco? You still would have to pay full price for a new one. I need one of those with a rebate. > > We have Sprint service and my son's phone has a broken antennae.

You might check eBay to see what's available there. If you do find something that looks good, make sure that the phone is cleared through SPCS, via the ESN. I only say that, as lost or stolen phones, or phones with outstanding balances on them will not be allowed to be activated on SPCS's system. Bob thanks for the info > > it expires in December > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Bob > We have Sprint service and my son's phone has a broken antennae.

I purchased a Sanyo SCP-8100 at Costco for $169.00 about three months ago. It came with the car chanrger, headset and belt clip which would have fost you $80.00 alone at the Sprint store. All you have to do is buy it, then call the Spring customer care number to have them take you rold phone off your account and add the new one. No change is your plan is required. Sign up for the insurance. Its $4.00 a month. Wait the required 2 billing cycles and tell them its broken and they'll send you a brand new one. > We have Sprint service and my son's phone has a broken antennae.
