I have a serious problem w/ Sprint right now. It started a couple of weeks ago.
My Touch Pro.'s keyboard stopped working so I brought it to a Sprint store. They didn't have any replacement in store so the tech ordered me a replacement. I come back a week later and they hand me a Touch Pro. 2. Before touching it, I asked them if they were going to change anything regarding my service (plan, monthly payment, etc.). They said the only thing that was going to change was the phone on my account (this Touch Pro. 2 they were handing to me).
So I took the phone and went on my merry way. I get home later that day and login to my account online to make sure everything was ok.
They changed my plan from my $30 SERO w/ unlimited text messaging to the Simply Everything 450 plan ($69.99). I was so ******. I called customer service to have them change my plan back, but no one would. They then escalated my case to what they called the "management escalation department". That was after a week of trying to get them to change me back to my SERO plan.
Finally, last week I get a call from someone in that management escalation department. She tells me that she would try to change my plan back, but it's unlikely that she would be able to because the Touch Pro. 2 requires this everything plan. I told her that there are people getting these phones that have my old plan. They simply activate the Touch Pro. 2 online themselves and it works with the SERO plan. She said that they are not supposed to be doing this. So she tells me she'll do what she can.
A week passes by and I don't get a call back from her. I begin calling her back and emailing her asking for an update. Today, I get a call back from her and she says she can't do anything. I'd have to keep this plan or switch to a $30 voice only plan. OR I could pay what I owe for the month and she'd waive the early termination fee and I could do whatever I want with the Touch Pro. 2.
I'm still ****** and my blood is still boiling. What am I supposed to do? They changed my plan w/o asking me or telling me. I didn't sign anything. The $30 SERO plan had all that I needed and is what I could afford (I'm a full time college student atm).
I could port my number to another carrier, but no other carrier has a plan equivalent to the $30 SERO plan and apparently Sprint doesn't either anymore.
This sounds like a good opportunity for the EHC (Employees Helping Customers) to get involved so they can get you back to the FF1078 SERO plan you were on.
There is no excuse for them to transfer you to a new plan without your advance approval, and even if they DID get you approval, the transfer should have been from you existing SERO 500 plan to the EPRP 500 plan for $59.95...
Good luck on getting this sorted out!

Tomas, is FF1078 the "code" for my $30 SERO plan (unlimited data, unlimited text messaging, unlimited nights and weekends, 300 anytime minutes)?
Is EHC something Sprint employees on this board participate in?
I'm at my wit's end trying to get them to fix what they messed up. I hope someone can fix this.

FF1078 is the most likely Service Order Code (SOC) your lost $30 SERO plan had, and is the one that should work fine with your new device.
There are some of the Sprint folks involved with running this forum who can refer some problems to the EHC folks.
Hopefully one of them will pick this up and run with it.
Good luck,
Tom
I would be glad to take a look at your situation if you would PM your account and contact information.
SprintCares, I've PM'd you the information you requested.
Thanks for any help.
SprintCares, did you get my PM?
Sure did. Sorry, i was out of the office yesterday and haven't had a chance to look at the account just yet.
I'd like to thank SprintCares for kind of taking care of me.
I got a call from SprintCares and he is switching me to the EPRP 500 plan.
What exactly are the differences b/w the EPRP 500 plan and the Simply Everything 450 plan?
I still don't consider this matter settled though. Yes he switched me to a plan that they claim is the lowest plan w/ data that will work with the TP2, but it's still twice as expensive as my $30 SERO plan which I would still have had it not been for Sprint changing my account w/o notice.
W/ the Simply Everything 450 plan and my work discount of I think 15% a month, I would be billed around $59.99 + tax. This EPRP 500 plan is also around $59.99 + tax, BUT SprintCares says I can't keep my work discount w/ this EPRP 500 plan.
They should give me a recurring monthly credit or something to bring this new plan down to around the price of the plan I would still have ($30 SERO plan) if it were not for Sprint.
