Carrier Sprint trap

[miggs78]

I switched to Sprint a few months ago to take advantage of their Kickstarter $15 Unlimited plan which is a great deal. When I switched over I did so with an iPhone SE and the intention of upgrading at full price to a newer phone when the 2018 models were released. So I just received an iPhone XR which I paid for in full and now the Sprint website says I cannot upgrade or switch phones without switching to a $60 or more unlimited plan. Anybody else dealing with this? I know they have the right to do whatever they want but this plan is only a few months old. Seems crazy to me that they are essentially treating it like a 10 year old grandfathered plan that needs to be fazed out.

If you incur payments, it forces you to a new plan.

However, you said you paid in full so this should not be an issue. Try contacting chat and just telling them you want to do an ESN swap.

I was able to do the swap via sprint chat with no plan changes. Thanks again eyoungren for the help.

If you’re fortunate enough to get on that plan when you could, don’t ever give it up (non-transferable anyway) it’s the absolutely best rate on any carrier bar none
