Just be careful If you call to cancel your service after you die. Calling from the other side is considered a long distance call(extra charges may apply). They may also have a place to send you the bill.."Unless you talk to Boss.. :D"

Bill the dead. Only 2 things in life you can't escape from Death and Taxes.

What moron dreamed up Bill the dead?
The same moron who decided the only way to cancel it was to provide the death certificate. What I don't get is, unless the brother is "power of attorney" then, technically, he's not obligated to pay anything, he only needs to make sure he's not using the service, because he would become responsible if the estate of the deceased was awarded to him...

He isn't just trying to stop future billing, he's trying to cancel the contract - without paying the early termination fee. Now granted, being dead certainly ends your obligation, but I can't fault Sprint for wanting SOME sort of proof the guy is actually dead, and not just some joker using it as an excuse to get out of a contract. (it has happened)
