Re: Sad really. Well, I could use EVDO as the exception that proves the rule, except that they're starting to poison even that business with their utterly horrid customer service. They aren't hemorrhaging millions of subscribers because they do 3G better than anyone else. Their overall track record is abysmal. -- Toolmaster of La Grange. |

 | Right, because of customer service and Nextel subscriber losses.
So if customer service is now better, would you even know it? I expect even if Sprint improves customer support to be even better than competitors in next few months, most won't be aware of it or will continue to bitch based on perceptions and past experiences. That is Sprint's bigger challenge. |

Like I said, they are going to have to do some spectacular housecleaning and show some stellar customer service before anyone will believe a thing they say about a 'turnaround'. -- Toolmaster of La Grange. |

I absoutely dread calling them for anything that comes up. I have a 10-year-old daughter on my plan and the need to call them comes up way too often. I really wish it wasn't so difficult to deal with customer service there. We are looking for a new carrier now. |

I know a lot of people Doc that use ATT for their PDA's because of coverage and customer service. Everyone I know using EVDO and putting up with Spring is doing to get off satellite and no dsl or cable. That is their only base.

My 14 and 16 year old has one. Short of one SMS text msg issue, I've not had any problems. Now, I would get them a firefly or a trac phone. Other then that.. your asking, no, begging for trouble. Ben there.. done that.  |
