    They shut off my freakin service!

    I had a problem with my phones battery and Sprint sent me an entire new phone. The old phone was returned to Sprint earlier this week, and SURPRISE, they treated it as a return and cancel, rather than an exchange and turned off my service. They did turn it back on after I called them, and thank goodness I didn't need it for an emergency situation.

    That is so unacceptable that if I hadn't already canceled my Verizon service, I would have dropped Sprint like a hot potato. I thought that the complaints about Sprint service were exaggerated, but there is a definite pattern here.

    And people use to think I was kidding when I told them I called Sprint at 3am and the guy that answered said "Yo Dawg, What's up?" I got too fed up with the non-existent service and went to T-Mobile.

    Sounds more like a rep looking for a faster way out of a job. WI've been with Sprint since 3/99, and never incountered such a ghetto rep like that, and I have called many time for myself, and other.

    There are definite problems with customer service though people here claim it is better. I have t-mobile thru work and they are way better than sprint at cs, that's not exactly a secret....then again t-mobile has the slowest data in the world and I use 3g more often than I call customer service.

    Well, if it was 3AM and the dude could fix my problem then I would be just fine with being called a Dawg. Or even a Dog. Or a Cat.

    Nextel was a thriving culture within a company and Sprint SINGLE HANDILY DESTROYED IT.

    LMFAO!
    I am looking to take over a former *Centennial Wireless* Account that was converted to *VERIZON*. Preferably one with a data card, but I won't discriminate if it's a voice plan with a dumbphone/smartphone/whatever. If it's a former Centennial Account and is now a VERIZON account, but still has the Centennial Plan on it, then I AM INTERESTED!

    ...this happened to me once, though not with Sprint, but rather AT&T.

    Maybe they share the same CS reps?

    So your battery didn't work and they sent you an entirely new phone, someone messed up and treated a return as a deactivation, and when you brought it to their attention they immediately fixed it. Oh, the horror. That's the worst customer service I have ever heard of...new phones and one call resolution...it doesn't get any worse than that!

    Hmm, good point if you're using your phone for a fashion accessory, rather than a business tool.
