I NEED MORE LINES! HELP!! PLEASE READ!

I've been a sprint customer with one of the highest family rate plans out there. I've been with them for 5 years, I'm out of my contract and need to add a line for my teenage sister (I'm undecisive between sprint and cricket) I have plenty of minutes to spare.

Well long story short I am on the $200 spending limit, been on that limit for 2 years, is there any way to pressure sprint or a trick to get them to raise my credit limit and be able to get a third line to share minutes?

Can someone out there help me at all! 🙂 Will talking to a "supervisor" or "threatening to cancel" do the trick?

The easiest thing for me to do would be to say "screw it" and go somewhere else such as verizon, but I love sprint, they've been great to me ...

I'm in the Nashville area 🙂 I will most certainly do that tho. I would hate to have to activate a cricket and spend an additinoal $60 for the premium package after taxes when I can just add her to my sprint, I have a sh!tload of minutes left over every month anyhow.

I'm about to just call sprint and cancel my service, maybe they'll try to keep me then.. i don't know.. I'm seriously thinking about T-MObile, I want the new pink couture sidekick, I mean they are giving free motorola bluetooth camera phones for free! maybe I can get the 3 lines I wanted! I figured that Sprint might want to keep my business but you know how companies are.
Does anyone know any tricks on how to press sprint's buttons to up my spending limit?

Hey, it's not Sprint's fault your credit is the way it is. Changing your spending limit is something I've never seen done except when the person has been a good paying customer for a while. But that was simply them having their credit rerun.

I HAVE had a great history with sprint and I make MY payments. so that doesn't really apply. They raised my credit limit before and it has been 3 years and they didn't do it ever since even tho I've been a good customer. that's what I mean and frustrates me! lol

There are no tricks or anything. It's simply based on your credit class. You either qualify or you don't. Sprint does do credit reviews about every six months where your payment history, your account history, etc. is looked at and sometimes a credit class is upgraded. I wish I could tell you something different. Sorry.

but for instance... does it matter if you are out of the contract? I've been out of my contract for quite a while now. That credit upgrade happened while I was still in my contract. I wonder if that had anything to do with it? 🙄

No it has nothing to do with being in or out of contract.

😕 well... lol I called sprint and they said they will review my account because I'm seriously thinking about switching to either t-mobile or verizon since I need that 3rd line. They don't want to "lose" me they said.. so they might actually do something
