They tried something similar to her while she had all three of my boys with her. Ages 5, 2 1/2 and 1. The little two here in a stroller, and the oldest was being well behaved.

They tried to charge her a restocking fee, and something else that would basically have upped our family plan by 20 bucks a month, when all she was doing was getting an upgraded phone which she had agreed to pay the agreed price. When they said they wouldn't be able to help her, she asked for a manager, and then they told her that it would be at least 20 minutes. At that point, she asked my five year old to pretend he was a monkey in a jungle, and let the little two out of the stroller.

From what she told me, it was utter chaos. Our 2 1/2 year old is part dinosaur and he basically kept taking things off the shelves one rack at a time, while my 5 year old tried to find places to jump from, while my one year old just walked about the store trying to find adults to bite (he is a biter and routinely will bite legs, my wife and I basically our forced to pants), all while yelling at basically the top of their lungs, while my wife just sat there and responded to emails. Apparently 4-5 people in the store left within 2 minutes of my kids being released. Within 5 minutes the manager arrived, he waived all fees, and let my wife pick a new case for her phone at no charge.

My recommendation, get little kids, get them hopped up on mountain dew and go up to the store and you will get grandfathered in.

My kids at most one capri sun a day. I can only imagine my kids hopped up on mountain dew, I would assume they would act like these kids.

if you have one of the plans that were supposed to be grandfathered in. If you have the 500 min., unlimited text, unlimited streaming, and unlimited internet plan, your closest bet will be basically the same plan minus unlimited streaming, add free picture texts. This all according to what he told me when I switched my plan to get picture texts.

I just spoke with C-Spire sales department about upgrading and I was assured that my plan was grandfathered in and I would not be required to change to a new one.

I think there is some confusion between the old Smartphone Unlimited Plan and the old Smartphone plan. The only difference in the two plans was that the Smartphone plan had a limit of 500 minutes. The Smartphone plan for $50 was not grandfathered but the Smartphone Unilimited for $80/single line or $120/two lines was.
