I was just on SPCS's site to check discount handset upgrade options for all
the phones on my account, and noticed the follow verbiage on the upgrade
page.Check out the first sentence in the second paragraph.

" Sprint PCS New For YouT Upgrade Program - Eligibility
You may be eligible for your next discount on select new Sprint PCS Phones
when you meet the following criteria:
Have continuous service on the same phone for at least 12 consecutive
months.
Must be on a $34.99 or higher monthly Sprint PCS Service Plan. ($34.99 is
base monthly plan price and does not include fees for add-on features or
services).
Sign a new one- or two-year Sprint PCS Advantage Agreement® (depending on
discount amount).
Sign up for Sprint PCS VisionSM if purchasing a Sprint PCS Vision-capable
phone.
Remain in good standing with no unpaid past due balances"

"Offer Period: Promotion available from September 1, 2005 through January
14, 2006.
The discount amounts referenced below are only available to eligible lines
if the Eligibility Date is within the offer period identified above. If your
Eligibility Date is outside the Offer Period, please check back here for
future promotions that might be available to you"

Now, I'm guessing they will be offering something else after 1/14/06, but I
thought I might post this up, for those that are eligible and want to take
advantage of it, before 1/14/06.

Sprint has always put expiration dates on offers, even long-standing=20
ones. It gives Sprint a chance to review uptake, satisfaction (yeah,=20
there actually *are* people in Sprint who look at that), and compare it=20
against any demand for changes that Sprint may be hearing about, as well=20
as responding to any changes other carriers may be putting in place.
