If he's still within his first thirty days he should go back to the store and switch it out... you're going to be paying a lot of money for his new phone since you will be buying it at retail price... I suggest the Sanyo 2400... great phone, durable, and good signal... it retails at $170.

oh really, thats cool cuz my friend is on verizon and he has to pay a 15-30 dollar fee to switch a phone on his account when he bought a new phone

Renardlee, when did your dad get his Nokia phone from Sprint? Go to

so you can see if he qualifies for any sort of rebate off the regular price of the handset. Worst case scenario, he can get the Samsung A640 for %179.99 plus applicable sales tax which is a pretty nice flip style phone with Bluetooth, a VGA camera as well as an external LCD for caller ID.

your dad actually sounds like a tricky buyer. if he is like most dads i know he wants a basic phone with few bells and wistles. this is just my sugestion. go with samsung, people will tell you sanyo is best but there cheep phones are crap. samsungs are the easest to use for people who are not natually technically inclined and samsungs anlso have the best voice clarity and most imp[ortantly they have blue back lit keys which make them so much earer to read. if you want to get him a good phone make sure it is what is considered a mid range phone. eather the samsung a640, the a840 or the a960.
but like i said that was just my sigestion.
ps i am a technician not a sales rep. i know which phones come in for what and how many of each are ...

oh thanx a lot, actually he had a samsung under sprint before he upgraded and renewed his contract to the nokia phone, and he was really satisfied w/ his samsung phone, i think it was one of the first vision phones sprint came out w/ like in 2004 or sumthin. my whole family loves samsung phones tho, i have a d407 under cingular, and my sister has a a570 under MetroPCS. i heard the a640 reception wasnt good tho. what do you think
