Never had Sprint, but Sprint's Nextel blows

I use Sprint/Nextel on my Blackberry, and service in general blows chunks. If it was on a personal line, I'd try to get my service cancelled that way as well

Nothing personal against Sprint/Nextel... however, it appears that they've been trying to be too many things (CDMA provider, iDEN provider - bleeding customers, WiMax provider ) ... what's next ?

To be fair... AT&T (Cingular... AT&T Wireless - another carrier with personality disorder) has done similar with roaming.

VZ Wireless booted people for data card usage as well.

I think T-Mobile is probably the only carrier that's a little more customer oriented.

I had and liked Sprint until the Nextel merger.

Without a doubt customer service crashed after that point, and walking into a Sprint/Nextel storefront started feeling like walking into a car dealership... they even had the 3 levels of warranty coverage they tried to stuff down your throat.

I dropped them mid contract and paid my termination fee's, and it was the best decision I have made cell phone wise in a long time.

I'm certain some brain in a suit thought of this wonderful idea as another cost cutting measure. Some part of me hopes he has his walking papers, but on the other hand the customers that are being dropped are actually benefiting, so who knows?

All in all I'm enjoying the public relations disaster they have made for themselves.

I worked customer care, believe customers just call in to get credit and never pay a bill and will make up any sob story to get money. Believe me I feel no sympathy for these customers and they got what they deserved.

I have not had any issues with my phone. I love the pricing, and have not had any billing issues. I enjoy all my features, and was even given unlimited text messaging. I do not have coverage issues, or problems with dropped calls. I enjoy all the benefits of my plan, including the 7pm nights and mobile to mobile calling free. I sound like a commercial, but damn, they have been the cheapest provider thus far with the features and services I need, for a fair price that I'm willing to pay. Maybe it only works good if you're on the SERO plan.

To me it would seem if people were calling in hundreds of times a month about problems, they should have ditched them a looong time ago. Who cares if you've been with them your whole life or whatever. If your having so many problems, ditch them- the transition to another carrier couldn't be easier, plus you could keep the same number. I recommend verizon to all you sprinters that got cut off!

I think he said he worked in a call center. Not on a river. And since dams generate electricity I think there's much job security there.

Believe what you will, but Sprint screwed up my billing from DAY ONE! 3 months later, they are STILL working on it. I even spent over an hour explaining to the customer service rep what was wrong and why; they agreed it was wrong and it would corrected the following moment; needless to say, it was NOT. I don't appreciate your generalizing all customers into one bucket. There are those of us who value honesty, and I expect a lot of Sprint's issues are their own self induced problems. If I did not need high-speed access I would have stuck with T-Mobile and yes, they were extremely customer focused. Sprint better watch out, or they are likely to find themselves in a class-action lawsuit over this one.

I've worked customer service as well (not at Sprint), and if they're moochers, they're not the kind of customers any company wants; the only question is how much of it are they willing to tolerate.

"WE the CUSTOMER,are the ones that have the right & CAN say good by to your company"

The company has that right as well, and they're exercising it. Some customers may be getting screwed over by this action, but I'll bet most of them are sponges that Sprint has elected to do without. And unless you're one of them, what are you getting upset about?
