Agent: Thank you
Agent: Just to check, are you a current Sprint customer or setting up your service for the first time?
You: i would like to find out what the fee is for terminating service if i initially got something with a 2-year service contract. i am talking about the 598U sierra wireless.
You: no, i am not a sprint customer.
Agent: Sure i will assist you.
Agent: Early termination fee is charged maximum $200 and minimum $50
Agent: It is charged if you are breking the agreement before two years.
You: depending onhow far into the plan the termination occurs?
You: let's say 6 months into the plan, i break the 2 year contract.
You: what's the fine?
Agent: Yes, it is calculated =$10 * no. of years from the contract.
You: what do you mean number of years from the contract?
Agent: sorry number of month.
You: # of months into the contract?
You: or left in the contract?
Agent: Number of month from the contract.
Agent: May i know what you are actually looking for.
Agent: Are you there.
Agent: Before I leave, is there anything else I can help you with today?
You: i said i was interested in the sierra wireless
Agent: Sure i can provide you more information on that.
You: so if i used it for 6 months out of the 2 years, i would have to pay $60?
You: or $180?
Agent: It means that the remaining month is 18 than you have to pay $180
You: is there a free trial for the sierra wireless? i would like to find out first if i get good signal in my apartment with it.
You: like a trial pd?
Agent: Just a minute i have to check it out for you.
You: verizon is supposedly good in my area (santa monica) but i'm getting no bars from their data network.
You: i'm able to browse but i'm sure i'm not getting what i'm paying for because no bars are showing up.
You: sometimes there's 1.
Agent: Okay i will look up for it.
Agent: You will get a trial period offer if you order online on that.
You: really? where does it say?
You: i'm in the middle of ordering it now but i didn't come across anything that said that.
Agent: If you are not satisfied with the services or the product you can always return back.
You: ooh
You: is that within 30 days?
Agent: Ok just go on to complete the order today itself.
You: what do you mean today itself?
Agent: Yes it is a 30 days satisfaction gurantee.
You: okay.
You: alright.
You: that's all.
Agent: I mean if you order online today you may be eligible for lots of savings and discounts.
You: alot meaning what specifically?
You: i know about the 100% rebate with 2-year agreement
You: is there anything else?
Agent: Right now, we have a number of online instant rebates and special low prices that you'll receive if you order with us today.
You: liek what?
You: aside from the 100% rebate with 2 year agreement.
Agent: We are currently running a great online promotion that can save you an additional $25 for every device you purchase online today. We will also waive the $36 activation fee and the $12.95 shipping fee, per device, which will bring your total savings to $73.95 per device.
You: where is $73.95 coming from? i thought i already get a 100% rebate from the $200+ cost of the siera wireless. so that's $0 dollars i'm paying.
Agent: In addition to all that you can get an exclusive promo code.
Agent: Sure you are paying zero dollar, after getting all that discounts and savings.
You: so the $25 off doesn't really apply.
You: because theres nothing to take it off of anymore. the only other applicable savings is the free activationa nd free shipping.
You: if i order it in the store, i won't get free activation?
Agent: Free activation is only available while you order online.
