Re: Jumped Ship

I agree I had the same problem,also when sprint took over the service went to hell never had as many lost calls in my life.voice mail would come in 1 or two days later,couldn't get service hardly anywhere in my area,and it was great before the takeover.the only thing that would work was the direct connect,but you could forget the phone service,and their customer service was awful,so sprint doesn't get my money anymore verizon wireless does.sorry sprint too little too late

People like to blame Sprint for problems after they took over Nextel, but in reality, that's the direction Nextel's network was headed in before the merger. They were at or near capacity and had no room to expand and service was getting worse before the merger. Most people just blame Sprint for the problems, but in reality they just bought the problems and got the finger pointed to them, which really hurt their image.

The merger was a bad idea by Sprint in terms of the iDEN network, but it was a great idea for the fact that they were able to greatly expand their CDMA network by adding panels to existing iDEN sites. I guess they just had to take a hit to get that benefit.

And to add to the blame sprint crap, if anyone remembers when the nextel merger was completed they were giving away everything that sprint pcs offered to try to get rid of the capacity problems, but everyone just decided that sprint was the problem and not nextel in the first place... i had a legacy nextel that had problems since 2001 and even worse in 05 when they made boost mobile public... Other than being a bad aquisition for sprint i didn't really see that they did anything wrong and switched over to the pcs side for free and couldn't have been happier other than the billing issues every few months that have always been solved in one call... point being, is if you aren't always trying to get something for free they will credit and do the things they are supposed to do in 1 call just like any other company

doesn't matter who was the blame sprint knew what they were buying,and they owned them then they are always going to get the blame for everything.it sure is funny that the very week that sprint took over i started to lose bars plus sprint was the one with the sorry customer service,sorry sprint will never ever get my money again plus sprint or Nextel still doesn't work at my house when it did when was Nextel,but verizon does work
