I had an experience that may tell what is to come with refer a friend. When I attempted to use my link, I received a notice that it was expired (it was not). When I call to use it, they refuse to extend me 60 days, saying that it was not in the rules of the program, that they only had to give me 60 days from today. This resulted in no additional days on one phone and only one month on the other. Also, they refused my bonus code for an extra 60 mins. Before they stopped the program, the code worked (180 mins instead of 120) and I got the additional two months. I e-mailed higher-ups, they said my phone expired three months earlier than the date on the phone. They refused to comment on the reason on the newly activated phone. I either got some bad time on eBay (and that ticked them off) or they changed the program and refused to fully honor the old one for me. Either way, both the rep and the supervisor (I asked to speak with one) were very rude as well as not honest about the program. If any other phones worked in as wide of an area and were (usually) as easy to use, I would consider switching providers (but unfortunately, they aren't).
