Sprint: Families That Switch Get $400 Credit

It's more the fact that they have to resort to a cheap stunt like this just to get people to pay them attention.....

I mean...back in 2009-2910 when the last of the old Allltell markets were waiting to be transitioned over to at&t, they were still running ads trying to bring in new customers (I assume probably because more customers = higher capitalization and that could justify bumping up the price of the sale), they ran ads saying that if you switched from another carrier Alltell would pay your ETF AND give you $100 credit towards your first bill.....I was already with at&t and knew that if I switched to Alltell all that would happen is that within 6 months I would right back with at&t,,,,,,I came so close to making the jump just to get the credit, and then a free phone from at&t when I made the switch back....I didn't because this promotion just seemed to reek of desperation.....it seemed like one of those classic 'going out of business' sales........it didn't exactly inspire confidence....
