It was an agreement when i bought my phone that i could get those rebates. They wouldn't give me any money off a new phone at all, even though i am not under cpntract. The phone i wanted would cost me $130, when any new users could buy the phone for $50. Too bad my plan is too good to quit now. My plan is $30 but nowdays similiar plans go for $40-$45

Yeah, Sprint's plans got REALLY pricey.
...and, no. You have to pay full price for the phone.
It's the way they work now.
I don't get it either.

They were suppose to honor the rebate within the 6 months. I got my $100 rebate for my Nokia 8390 from AT&T in less than 6 months.

Yes, they should have to uphold that offer. You need to talk to someone other then a rep. When you call, ask to speak to a supervisor, and don't ASK for your rebate, politely insist for it (or demand, just don't be an ass either way). With a little work (Which shouldn't be in the first place) you should have your rebate in no time. Also, you'd be surprised what you could do with a well worded letter too (If the former doesn't work, which it should). Good luck.

Fuck you all and your fancy phones. I live out in the middle of nowhere and the best thing my phone can do is change ring tones. Doesn't matter though, since each one just sounds like Morse code for S-U-C-K anyway.

I'm with ya all the way. Thank god for Caller ID. I'd hate to have to talk to some of the morons who call me.
