If it had not orriginated from them we would lable this as just another scammer phishing expdition. They wouldn't try that for an extra revenue boost would they?

Re: I cancelled my service years ago

I had Clearwire years ago, but cancelled long before WiMAX launched. I thought the emails were phishing because they had no account info.

Email harvesting?

Kinda curious about the user who said he'd never been a subscriber ever, yet they've got his email address.

might have inquired about the service and the site requested an email to send you more information.

Always use your own separate email.

Good policy: Always use your own separate email, both address and service.

It's very clear

I really don't understand how everything that Sprint has its hands in messes up. I got like 10 emails from them and was wondering what the heck. I do still have their services and the only reason why is because I have the iSpot (jail broken) unlimited for 25 bucks and like 6Mbits otherwise I would have been gone.
