Sprint Ridiculous Customer Service

Thought I would share my experience so far well since the end of May. So one day my text messaging stops working when I’m at home (which yes is roaming but it worked before). So I called advanced technical support. They worked and worked and worked on it. I asked them to rebuild my account profile they refused. Days of being on the phone later (and I mean days like 20 or so) they decided to cancel my account and give me a new phone number. Surprise, surprise it worked. Only one problem the number is not a local number for my area and my grandmother doesn’t have long distance. So I beg them to give me a new phone number that is local. And yea they can’t they don’t have any available. The ONLY exchange they have available is for a city 56 miles (1 hr) away according to MapQuest. This is ridiculous. I have been hung up on. I have been promised MULTIPLE call backs and have never received them. I have threatened to cancel not without the ETF (because I don’t qualify to have it waived) what exactly does qualify. I have threatened to contact the FCC and the BBB. Nothing has worked. I have spent many entire days on the phone with nothing to being resolved. I have called in waited 45 mins to ask about a ticket that was put in only for the rep to tell me that they couldn’t pull it up!!!!!!!!!!! Come on this isn’t customer service this is crap. So I guess if the issue isn’t resolved I will contact the FCC and BBB and so that I don’t have to pay the ETF I will set the phone to roam only and on unlimited nights and weekends I will just make more calls than they could imagine. I have free roaming on my account they get a bill each month for roaming minutes so if they want to play this game by god I’m going to play it too. If they don’t cancel me and waive the ETF then they are stupid because I have free roaming and I’m not paying for it. They will regret jerking me around.

Bro, here is what you do! you pay a laywer $50-$100 to get a copy the written contract and have him highlight everything he sees them violating on the contract and he'll fax it over to them and tell them that they will seem him in court! This worked for someone and I ain't mentioning no names!

hahahaha MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lmao but yeah they violated their end of their contract by changing the number without consent first of all and number 2 they cant do what they are doing because they said that they dont have any numbers in your aqrea so by law if they dont have service in your area their is no way that they can make you pay the early termination fee..... mention both to them asnd see what they say...... theres no way around that for sure and thats is in their contract so tell them to read it and weap *****es.

Re: Sprint Ridiculous Customer Service

I agree! Some of sprint customers service reps are just ****ing stupid!
Yesterday my sister bought a mogul. She called to add sprint nav to her vision pack and the guy told her that the mogul was not GPS capable. My sister told him it was and that I (her brother) was using it as they spoke! He said that it shouldnt be accesible and that if I was using it it was because I had modified the phone which according to him would go against her insurance terms! She got pissed and hung up on him lol.

(a bit off topic but still on topic).

no i cant i think the touch pro is great i was having a problem where when i took a pic then hit the back key to save it it would just keep the busy icon up they relaced my tp free of charge lol and i installed all my apps it did it again i did a hard reset i think i have narrowed it down to the speed up memory card app that is causing the problem
