"New for You" Phone Replacement with Retention Plan?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.sprintpcs (More info?)

I have the $35.99 retention plan on two phones and love it. However, my old
samsung N400 has finally bit the dust and I want to get a new phone. Can I
get Sprint to buy me a new phone and keep my current retention plan?

Both of my phones are not on a contract right now, but I don't mind signing
a two year contract if I keep my current plan and get two new phones.

I see that the "New for You" phone replacement plan will give me the $150
credit for a new phone, but it also says that I must have vision service for
vision capable phones. I don't want Vision (unless they will give it to me
for free).
There are two non-vision phones available (neither look very good).

Any other suggestions? Should I call retention and threaten to quit (and
would they care with my $36 month plans)?

Am I screwed?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply.

Are you saying that I can add vision to my current retention plan and then
cancel it? Won't they make me get a new plan (that includes vision)?

as long as you sign up for a 2 year extension plan, you get the 150
phone deal.

ONE MORE QUESTION:

Can I purchase phone online and submit rebate online? (I can't find a link
to download the rebate form.)

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

You can purchase the phone online, and when they ship the phone, the
rebate form will be included in the box.
