SPRINT IS ALMOST ON MY LAST NERVE!!

**BTEC** · 10-26-2005, 04:16 PM

I paid 128 (full bill) on my bill last wednesday bc i went over my minutes.
I also added a extra 100 minutes for this month
today my phone is off and they say my bill is $131 and i have to make a payment to get my phone back on. how in the hell is that possible?
my phon eis always getting turned off for dumb sh*t!!
i took ready link (sprints nextel) off bc my speaker phnoe broke and they took all my features off and then my phone got cut off. they adjusted my bill and gave me a credit but its just the fact my pimp phone was off.

**kelly marie** · 10-26-2005, 04:17 PM

yes jesse this is why i cancelled them...i would pay them like $300 dollars a month... they would turn it off at least 3 times a month... even though i paid my balance off each month.. on time mind you.... anyway SPRINT SUCKS ASS and they are money hungry!! i hate them....

Sprint will basically give ANYONE a phone regardless of credit. We have customers whom filed bankruptcy a few months ago and they get a phone with 2 lines. We as a company have the lowest credit standards amongst all carriers. That is the reason behind the credit limits. We will sign you up as we want your business BUT we will control your bill. The thing with the limits is that you have to pay the bill religously. By that I mean if you get the bill today you should be sending a check tomorrow. This will ensure your phone doesnt get cut off UNLESS you exceed your minutes horribly and your plan is already close to your limit. For example:

$125 spending limit
Customer has a $100 plan with all the bells and whistles totaling $120.
Remember this $120 is BEFORE TAXES. Taxes on wireless is crazy and would put this person @$135 therefore turning their phone off automatically.

This is just one scenario and there are many others. Tell me yours and I can explain probably.

That is why I like Cingular, Roll Over Baby. Well that and I stopped giving people my cell number so I save my minutes now

I use to work for them so tell me whats the point of having 6000 roll over minutes you will NEVER use???????

Nothing against Cingular as I feel they are a great company and have good service, BUT the rollover was just an amazing marketing scheme! In reality it makes no since. If you are rolling over hundreds and hundreds of minutes then.................DOH your paying to much EACH MONTH.

In my opinion, if you are rolling over more than 100 minutes a month your paying to much and on to high of a plan. Save yourself the money each month. That is the beauty of Fair and Flexible from Sprint.

Just my .02 cents!

lol, i had like 8k when i canceled my cingular phone a couple years ago...i had a good plan for a good price then i started using the phone less and the plan rates changed so it was stupid for me to to change the plan, less minutes and be the same price and then lose some of the benefits that weren't offered any longer...so i just kept collecting.

sometimes it works out in your favor as it did you, BUT most of the time it does not.

Wait till you see the Sanyo 9000- you will come back or at least should come back.

Look into something called ESRP..............Sprint is the only company that offers this. It's a must have!

**DrivenMind** · 10-26-2005, 04:26 PM

sprint is a bunch of bastard cocksuckers. my phone can't decide WHAT kind of service it wants. I can have 5 full bars of service and not be able to make a single phone call, and the newest annoyance is how the phone wont get calls. As in someone will call, they'll hear my phone ring and get my voice mail. My phone wont get the call but the voicemail that follows. Meaning I get their voicemail immediately after they called, but my phone doesn't indicate I received a call at all, nothing listed as a missed call or anything.

What phone brand and model do you have?

The Toshiba VM4050, I like the phone but man does it get on my last nerve.
I took it into the Sprint store, and he set the "Location" to "Sprint", but this was even worse than it was when it was on automatic. With the automatic location turned out I could at least be roaming and make a phone call incurring the charge. With it on the "sprint" location, I go to dial a number and it simply sits with the name on the screen for about 30 seconds to a minute until it says "service not available" and takes you back to the main screen seen after you open the phone. Imagine trying to make a phone call 5 or 6 times in a row with 4 or 5 bars of service only to be told "Service cannot be used currently". It's exceptionally frustrating, but for some reason I've stuck with Sprint, as it seems no other network gets service from my house. Although every net work appears to get far superior service compared to mine the minute we leave my neighborhood.
