Spending Limit Removed?

Got an email from Sprint today stating "the account spending limit on your account has been removed."

Anyone get this and/or know what it means?

I didn't get an e-mail about it, but I noticed one time logging in that it said my account was partially restricted due to late payment. WTF?

When I signed up two years ago, they told me I had an $800 spending limit. I verified that this meant I could not pay the bill for up to $800, which for 2 accounts is 6 months. I'm never really late on bills so I didn't worry about it.

I don't know, it seems like crap to me.

If you have an $800 spending limit, that means that you can buy new devices (and accessories) and add new monthly fees (new lines of service), up to $800. It doesn't mean that you cannot pay your bill for a few months.

Hmm, that's not what the Sprint rep said, which was verified by having it for over a year. They basically said that the maximum my monthly amount due can be is $800, regardless of what is making up those charges. She said that normally, that high amount would be for handheld device downloads, over-minutes, etc.

If I were to check my account online, I used to have a bar graph that showed spending limit, and my current balance would highlight a portion of that. It would say something like, "$650 spending limit remaining". Since they redid the Sprint site, that bar graph is gone.

A Sprint Rep in a store doesn't always have all the info.

Your MRC (Monthly Recurring Charge) plus any new devices, or new MRCs or new accessories cannot go over $800 in one month.

You still have to pay your bill.

As an example, we have a few large customers that have unlimited spending limit - that doesn't mean they don't have to pay their bill from month to month - just means they can add as many new lines of service that they want.

To answer the first posters question.

Without seeing what you received, sounds like you can spend as much as you want and get new lines of service - just remember that you have to pay your monthly bill Smile

I saw that on my profile last week saying I was over my limit, when my bill had already been paid (Never late). No I don't see it anymore. so maybe it was just a glich.
