what is this access charge?? Sprint will sell me an iPhone 5s for $199.00 ($149.00 at apple site) however if i pay for it instead of leasing at 2?.00/mos/2 years or using easy pay for two years (26/mos=$690.00 YES...for a $200 phone) Sprint actually intends to charge a 30.00/mos access charge for the phone use. the only way to not pay this is leasing or paying per month the whole two years. this is insane. i cannot even understand what this new concept is all about. i learned of this yesterday because my 4 year old phone needs replacing, and i assumed i could get the same plan i have had for years and years simply continued/renewed for the required two years and a discounted phone... NOPE.

and you say Verizon also has this access charge? i need someone to explain this to me as something besides an extremely expensive set up. why? is a cell phone really going to cost me $700.00 over the next two years for no reason? i have never paid an access charge. i paid for the plan and the Sprint service. i don't have hundreds to give away.....

I switched to Project Fi on Google and left my girls Sprint family plan. Now they want to charge her an additional 25 dollars a month even though both 2 yr contracts were up on the phones. They claim she is using a discounted phone. But we held up our end of the contract and stayed 2 years. If we left early there was an early termination fee that we would of had to pay before the 2 yrs so now the phones should be considered payed off. That would be like paying for the phone twice now. Can't contract same phone twice with.
