There's currently a promotion going on at Sprint, Wirefly, and some other retailers that gives customers who sign up for an Everything Data 450 plan an extra 300 Anytime Minutes per month for free. That's 750 minutes, unlimited data, and unlimited messaging for $69.99.
Pretty sweet deal for chatty people looking for a new plan, sure, but what about all of the existing HTC EVO users who are already paying for Everything Data 450 and only getting 450 minutes?
It turns out they can get the bonus talk time too. And so can you. Just follow the steps below.
- Call Sprint.
- Ask for it.
Sprint will add the minutes to your monthly allotment without a fight or a contract extension.
Carriers have been doing stuff like this for years—I used to do it on VoiceStream (before it was T-Mobile)—so Sprint isn't being unusually generous here. Not everyone pays attention to new customer offers or think they're entitled to the goods too, though, so while this may be old news to some, it's sure to be useful to others. Either way, if you're on the Everything Data 450 plan, you've got a bunch of free minutes waiting for you to take home.
Thanks, Big-eL!
Just called Sprint to update my plan. They said the deal is no longer available
. I’ve been with them for 10 years and thought it was pretty lame they pulled it so quickly. I’m guessing they had more takers than they bargained for. The CSR I was talking to said it was only for NEW customers. I pressed a little harder and said I had several friends who were existing 450 data plan customers who were offered the bonus and she put me on hold for a bit. The CSR came back and said she talked to her supervisor and they didn’t know anything about it either but would be glad to pass me along to a “Level 2″ customer care rep. The level two rep asked me what I wanted to know about the bonus minutes. I said I would like to add them to my plan because I knew of several people who were able to with existing plans. She said, “no problem” and took care of it immediately.
SO, the offer is STILL there, but they are being a little resistant. I have a feeling it will be pulled completely pretty soon- so do it quick!
I just got off the phone with them and they hooked me right up no questions asked. They said the deal is good til July 23 HAPPY HAPPY!!
Just called the Sprint rep and got the extra 300 minutes without breaking a sweat… He knew exactly what it was and added them rioght away with no questions asked!! AWESOME!!!!
The wife just called in to Sprint regarding this promotion and they immediately laid down for it. No questions asked. Took her less than 2 minutes with the rep. The only caveat is that when you change your plan in any way, you’ll lose the extra 300. For sure get it done now!!! She has a shift so apparently it’s good for all Evo phones.
I just called the Sprint rep and no prob whatsoever: DONE! Thanks for the tip! Now to find people that actually talk instead of text so I can burn up those minutes!
Just called Sprint. The CSR told me the deal is only for current customers whose contract is expiring within a month (I have a year left on my contract); however, she said she’ll do it for me since I’ve been with Sprint for a while. Doesn’t hurt to ask!
Does this work on family plans as well?
Also, forum’s down
Bingo as usual I have to say what a great site this Thank You.
I tried adding this to my account but the rep said that I needed to renew my contract. I still have 1 year left.
My friend just called and got it immediately.
People still talk on the phone? During the day no less? lol.
you can also do this in “add services” , manaaging your account on Sprint.com. I was there checking something else and noticed as option to add the bonus minutes and it was prechecked. All I had to do was hit “save”.
it is actually under “change my services” and listed under “service add-ons”
Wow I can’t believe how simple that was! I asked nicely a few account questions were asked and now I get 300 free extra minutes each month. Totally awesome service from Sprint. A small note the minutes will stay on your account until change plans. They don’t roll over but every month they will show up on your plan.
Called Sprint, rep added it to my plan. Call look less than 2 minutes! He also said this plan was good for as long as you kept the data plan and available to all Sprint customers regardless of phone.
i went to sprint.com, and this box was check already… how do i know if i have it actually???
I called Sprint, it took less than 3 minutes and got my extra 300 minutes! Thank you very much for the info!
On hold with CSR right now!
Got my 300min. and he’s in he process of my Premier Membership upgrade override so I’m golden! Even if I wanted the E3D tomorrow I could get it on new contract for the better price. Fortunately, I found Synergy. I’m good! Don’t need no 3D. I’ll see you at ICS.
It worked. Got a Confirmation email saying i added the addon for free…!
Just got off the phone with Sprint, it only too a couple of minutes and it was added.
THANKS.
AWESOME!!! I just called sprint and I got the 300 minutes extra per month added! He did have to check to see if I qualified so some people may not.
QUESTIONS: Does this only work for the EVO 4G or does it work for any phone on the Everything Data 450 plan?
It should work with any phone on this plan.
Can’t get this on my 1500 min everything data family plan…boo!
it doesn’t work for family plans. I just tried. The rep said its only for the everything data 450 plan.
Cool! I’ll have to let my peeps know. Thanks!
They will come in handy if you roam.
You really should call back. This should in no way extend or cause you to have to renew your contract. My friend is off contract and his did not renew.
Just called and recieved my bonus minutes. This is good through July 23rd
Only those people on 450 plan
I called Sprint and got the minutes free just like that for 2 years.
I chatted with a rep online and she said it is automatically added to your account if you have the Everything Data 450 plan so there is no need to call. This is what she said: “Jessica: We are currently running a promotional offer where you’ll get 300 bonus anytime minutes with our Everything Data 450 Plan every month throughout your contract period. It will be added automatically to your Everything Data 450 Plan.”
I just call Sprint and received my 300 bonus mins! Thank You! G&E Admin for letting us know about the 300 bonus mins!
That sucks cause I am switching to that plan tomorrow.
Sweet took 3 mins! Thank G&E
Just added…. took 2 minutes and that was with someone who is from outside the USA
I had this added too but I have a quick question: my CS rep told me that the bonus minutes would disappear once my billing cycle ends, so to hurry up and start using those extra minutes. Was he mistaken?
just called them and asked about the promotion and got the 300 extra minutes!! no hassle, no complicated customer service people… just said they were doing it, and it was done. I LOVE SPRINT!! So much better than AT&T
I’m late to this post, but I logged in to my account like someone here suggested and it was already on there.
HOLY COW.. just called Sprint and like so many others here, got the additional free minutes AND I’m able to do a Sprint buy-back, and get $150 off the 3D besides! The rep said not many people in the store and they have them in stock here in Omaha. SO, on my way out the door to get the new 3D for $50.. GOD I love SPrint!
A better number to call is their “customer retention” line. These guys are here to bend over backwards to save your account from leaving. 1-877-775-4886. I just told them my friend just got an EVO 3D, and he just got 750 minutes for $69, I want to get on that plan as well. So she took my number, said she would have to talk to her manager and call me right back. In two minutes she called back and said I got the additional 300 minutes. It took all of 4 minutes
Thanks for the info Jen!
Just got the new promotion! Very pleased as I have been using my phone more during the day for business calls and was starting to worry about exceeding my minutes.
Did you make any changes to your plan? If not then the rep lied. I was told it lasts until I make changes to my plan.
I first called and got the runaround and the csr rep actually hung up on me. Called the customer retention line and complained and got the 300 minutes and my night time calls start at 6pm instead of 7pm. Thanks Chris for that number.
Can I downgrade from the 900 minute plan, get on the 450 minute plan and add the 300 minutes?
I’d go from Gold to Silver, but save $420 a year, so take my Gold please
Correction:
I’d save $240 a year. And I’ll go to silver which is fine.
I just got the 300 min added to my account, no problem at all.
The greenhornet on EVO 3D looks amazing!!! I would like the active case
HI all, thanks for the great tip.
I called the customer retention # from above, and in less than 3 minutes, i got the extra 300 minutes added.
THANKS!
Had the same success; just logged on and went to ‘Change Services’ and the box was checked (and you couldn’t un-check it). When I hit ‘Save’ without making any other changes, I was told I successfully changed my services and got an email saying it’d been successful! Very nice, even saved a phone call.
I just called Sprint and got the free minutes, no problem. Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy!
confirmed, called yesterday for an unrelated issues. upon saying thank you and thats all I needed help with, the rep said if she can offer me a free promotion, I said yes, and she gave me 300 mins on top of my 450.
