Three year Sprint consumer looking to renew - need help

I am very confused by all of the new plans, as they seem like a good deal but with all of them, I think I would end up paying a lot more than I am now (out of contract).

We have three lines with a simple 800 minute plan, pay extra for 7:00 pm evenings, for no roam, and for vision on one phone. Plus, I have a 20% corporate discount. We'd like to have two smart phones and one simple plain phone, unlimited text, and data for the two smart phones.

If any reps out there want to help me out --- what plan should I get and will it be cheaper for me than staying off contract? I've had some sales calls recently offering me monthly discounts or cheaper phones (I HATE mail in rebates), but couldn't work with me once they saw the 20% corp. discount, for some reason.

if you get a smart phone you gotta have a data plan.... you won't like us if you don't...
get the 1500 talk/message/data plan ~ $150(3lines) - %20 = $120 + taxes

i hate MIR as well but I believe that's an evil you'll find anywhere...

call into customer care first and before you do any of this first and ask if you get a service credit for renewing your account... alot of customers are down in the system for receiving a service credit offer and are not even aware of it until they call in. I got $50 per line on my 5 line account before I upgrade 2 of my lines a couple of months back and that helped out on the upgrade process a lot. $250 credit plus two $150 instant rebates made me feel appreciated for sure.

hope i helped

Thanks to both of you -- if I stay with Sprint and get a new contract, that seems like the right one, though it will end up being $50 more per month than I'm paying now (with data). Do they offer discounts on the plans for someone paying a lot less off contract?

You are not required to extend your contract or renew your contract if your just changing your plan !

I understand that, but I wouldn't change my plan (as it is more expensive) just because. I do want the discounts on some new phones however, and am curious if the new plan prices are fixed or if they can be discounted for those of us with much cheaper legacy plans.

Thanks!

Do you have the free and clear plan or the Fair and Flex plan shared?

I still have a whole lot of questions to ask if it's ok with you?

1. How much is your current bill w/o the corp. discount?

2. Do you have the vision pack on the two phones you now have? (also the N&W@7)

3. How much do you pay for vision?

I don't have my bill in front of me and, it seems, Sprintpc.com forgot about me (I haven't logged in in a while, so my username no longer exists. I tried to re-register but it thinks the main number on my account is our third phone, which is currently on vacation with the inlaws).

Anyway, I have vision on one phone only currently, I think it is $15 (or $20). I also have $5 for unlimited roaming and $5 for 7:00 pm nights. The total bill pre-discount I believe is around $90.
