Question: How fast is "Sprint 4G" (WiMAX)? Answer: Answer: Sprint's 4G WiMAX network can provide average download speeds of 3 to 6 Mbps and bursts over 10 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 1Mbps. 4G service is not available everywhere - use the 3Gstore coverage tool to check service at your address.
Question: Is Sprint 3G or 4G service "Unlimited"? Answer: For 3G, there is no limit to amount of data you can use per month, but overage charges take affect after first 5GB of data per billing month. 4G usage is unlimited.
Question: Are there any other fees involved? Answer: Sprint will charge a $36 activation fee if this is a new account and $26 if adding a device to an existing account (activation fees appear on your first monthly bill). If you have an existing corporate-liable account, the activation charge is waived on 2 year contracts. In addition to the monthly $59.99 fee, there will be varying state and federal taxes, just as there are on your cell phone plan.
Question: Is there a "Free Trial Period"? Answer: Sprint provides a 30 day trial for your service, but it is not "Free". If you are not satisfied with your Sprint service, you can cancel within 30 days and not be subjected to their prorated early termination fee. Activation fee (if any) will be refunded by Sprint. You will not be refunded shipping charges. Sprint may also charge you for a partial month of service.
Question: Does 3Gstore have a refund policy? Answer: All items invoiced by 3Gstore.com such as amplifiers, repeaters, antennas and routers, fall under our 14 day return policy
Question: I already have a Sprint account. Do I still need to provide all my personal information? Answer: No. However, you will need to provide the EXACT name on the account (it is very important that you provide the correct name that is associated with your account. Please double-check to ensure that your Sprint account isn't under your maiden name, business name, etc), your Sprint mobile number and and account number, as well as your PIN number or your security question and answer so that we may add your new line of service. Question: How do I establish and obtain a NEW Sprint account? Answer: Please complete our online order form. The information you supply is completely confidential and is required by Sprint to establish your Sprint account. Please double-check your order to ensure that you have filled out all of the necessary fields; omitting information will delay your order. If you prefer, you can place your order over the phone with one of our EVDO experts by calling 866-3GSTORE mon-fri 9am-7pm CST. Question: Why do I need to provide my social security number? Answer: Sprint requires a credit check when setting up a new personal account. This is standard practice and all wireless providers require this when creating a new service contract. Credit is run through Equifax. Should you decide not to provide this information, Sprint may require a large deposit to open your Sprint account, as there will not be any reference for past credit history. Deposits depend on the customer’s credit history and generally start at $100 per line which is typically returned by Sprint as a credit to account after one year of good payment history. Please note that omitting information can delay the processing of your order. If you are setting up a business account you do NOT need to enter your personal information (see below). 3Gstore values your privacy and ensures that your private information is never shared with anyone but Sprint’s credit system. Our sites utilize advanced security validation (EV SSL) and this is just one of the many advantages to shopping at 3Gstore.com! Question: What if I want to open a new Sprint business account? Answer: In order to establish a Sprint business account, you will need to provide your tax ID and complete all the business information in the EVDO order form. You do not need to provide your personal information (social security number, etc) for a business account. Please note that it is not unusual for a new business to require a deposit. Question: How does the Sprint deposit work? Answer: If Sprint requests a deposit to set up your account, 3Gstore will contact you before moving forward. Once you approve the deposit, the credit card you provided at the time of your order will be charged the full Sprint deposit amount. After one year of active service, you will receive your full deposit back in the form of credit to your Sprint Account. Question: Why do I need to create a 6-10 digit security PIN and security question? Answer: For your protection, Sprint requires you to establish a 6-10 number digit PIN and security question/answer to be able to access your Sprint account. Your PIN cannot contain more than 3 consecutive numbers of a your social security number or tax ID number. Please write your PIN and security answer down in a safe place as you may need it in the future when contacting Sprint. Question: How do I get my rebate? Answer: All rebate forms and information will be included in the box when you receive your order, and you can also download the forms here. It is your responsibility to submit the appropriate rebate forms and information to Sprint. Question: What if I subscribe to a fraud-protection service like Life Lock? Answer: If you have Life Lock, your order may be delayed due to the extra verification that will take place. After your order is submitted to Sprint credit, someone from Sprint’s credit department will call the customer via the phone number that the customer provided to Life Lock. They will ask a series of questions (e.g., what year did you get your Mastercard, who is your car loan through, who is your home loan through, etc) to verify your identity; once confirmed, we will be notified that we can move forward with your order.
