A "Sorry, Man" doesn't get his email back. Why doesn't SprintPCS
properly train its people?

How come you didn't recommend ATT, Phil? Are they worse then Sprint?

Ah, yes, this is how I wanted to spend Sunday, trying to solve technical
issues with my cell phone provider. Since I still could not access email,
I had to call back, and you are correct, a deprovision/reprovision is
precisely what they did. I asked the rep of the day if he could get my
deleted email back, and he said - I kid you not - that because it had not
been placed in the trash folder first there was no to retrieve it. ... Can I
ask how much training you guys actually get?
Anyway, on the bright side, 90% of the email that goes to the cell phone is
stuff autoforwarded from another account, so, I have a backup of most of the
mail, just not on the phone. About 10% was premanently lost. Also, he was
able to fix the password business for web access to the email.
I still have to do is go up the road a ways to where I can get a signal and
see if the phone still works.
Now the real funny thing: After all the trouble last night, each rep really
really wanted to help by giving me a 5% discount if I would sign long term
contract. Aside from the fact that I already have a one year contract,
first they said I get 5% if I signed up for one year. This morning I had to
sign up for 2 years.
I politely declined, I get very very nervous when Sprint goes into my
account, you don't know what they will screw up trying to help you.

This is what I WANTED to get done a couple months ago and they couldn't get
it done.

That's not why. It's because a deprovision/reprovision is the Vision=20
access version of wiping a chalkboard clean then rewriting what was on=20
it. You can't retrieve it because it was completely erased, and then=20
re-created from (essentially) scratch.
It wouldn't have been recoverable even from the trash folder because,=20
technically speaking, you have a whole new trash folder.
If there was anything I could do to recover it, I would. Unfortunately,=20
all I have to offer is my apologies.

So why aren't you on Verizon, Phillipe? Was your credit too sub-prime?
That would explain why you're on AT&T... the only thing you qualified
for was a Go Phone.

Do you have anything USEFUL to contribute, or are you going to just continue
whining because you now have a phone with the worst cellular company on the
face of the planet (ATT)?
