i have sprint now and am out of contract ive been waiting for some nice simple phones from them, its nice to see there still alive! ive been debating on leaving but i get 20% off my bill and service is great, just not customer service it sucks you always get some indian that cant speak english and you will spend 30 to 60 min for any simple phone call. ive spent as much as 1.5 hours on the phone with them on a credit for a phone i sent back 2 mo prior,they need new managment to turn there company around and why do they always charge for internet when you dont use it err… and then when you call to fix it its an hour of your time 30 min of which they keep telling you to hold on..t-mobile has best customer service by far from any carrier i know but they have the worst cell coverage.. cant win with anyone, we need a new major player that does it all, maybe vigin moble will be the next best thing???
i share your 20% discount and lengthy customer service opinions sean, but:::
all the customer service issues have improved 300% in the last 10 years… that doesn’t mean you always get some savvy rep who can grasp and handle your issue expeditiously…. but:::
cus.svc. is really 3,4,5 times better than in 1998-2000!!!
sprint services and coverage is tops, pricing (if you got it early enough) is tops (i have 4 lines, nites@7pm, 2500 anytime, text, vision & free mobile2mobile on the sprint network… under $150.
NOBODY ELSE COMES CLOSE! SPRINT ROCKS MY WORLD!
