Anybody help me out with my Sprint issue?
Ok....this might be a little long but here we go.
My fiance and I are under the Everything Family Data plan for Sprint. She has the Palm Centro and I have Samsung Instinct (not that this matters). Anyways....I work for the local government here and I had a business phone through them (Blackberry). They are going to a new cell phone plan where they will pay me $105 a month if I use my personal phone as a business phone. Everything sounds great....but here is the problem. 1. The blackberry that I had with them is through Verizon. Therefore I can't transfer it over to Sprint. 2. The Samsung Instinct that I have won't allow me to connect to my work e-mail. Therefore I can't use this for work purposes. There are only two options that I have right now. If I upgrade my Instinct....I have to pay $500-$600 for a Blackberry because I'm not eligible for an upgrade. My other option is to add a line to my plan and get a Blackberry at $200. This is obviously going to cost me more than what I want to spend. I know there are some people here that either work for Sprint or used too. Do you have any other options that I can do? Yes....anti-freeze....REPOST and all that other "Kill Yourself" type stuff. |

what kind of e-mail provider does your work have?
the instinct's e-mail application will work with Exchange, even will do calendaring after the latest e-mail software update. as long as your work e-mail has Outlook Web Access enabled, it will work. |

I had my IT guys take a look and they couldn't get it work.
Do you know what OS the Instinct uses? |

the Instinct uses a Proprietary O.S.
They more than likely require a Blackberry since they are running a BES with either a Ms Exchange or Lotus Domino Server, My guess is that is a Lotus Domino Server. My suggestion: Sell the Instinct on craigslist/ebay and buy a blackberry from Craigslist you can find a good one for $150-200 |

If I buy a Blackberry off of Craigslist.....do I just call into Sprint and tell them I have a new phone to activate and then have them deactivate my Instinct?

here's the main question, can you check your e-mail from anywhere?
if you have the ability to check your e-mail from anywhere on the internet (through MS exchange that is), the instinct will work for you. |
