Just opened new service with Sprint!!!???

But my employee discount is not on my line. They say it could take up to 60 days. Well, the problem with that is its after the 30 return period. The only reason for switching to Sprint was the discount. Verizon only offers 8% voice and 8% data but sprint offers 25%. If I cant get the 25% then I would just stay with Verizon. Any ideas to get the discount sped up so I know weither to keep it or return it now?

Mine took 6 or 7 weeks IIRC (also 25%).

My total bill is about 35 dollars CHEAPER each month than what I was paying through my old carrier. For me, it was a no brainer.

You can go to a Sprint Store and see if they can help. That's where I ended up doing it and got the discount put on right away (For next months bill).

However, yes, sometimes it can take up to 2 months. With that being said, going into a 2 year contract, waiting 2 months for your discount shouldn't be a deal breaker to you. Little patience will save you big in the long run.

It takes a billing cycle or 2... Mine is working perfect...

It didnt really matter in the end. I ended up canceling the service. Sprint still does not get service in my wifes work. The plans are great and it does work in most places that I go but if we split services it would end up not saving us any money. Oh well, maybe some day.
