The key to your answer is "December". SPCS is normally busy during the
holiday period between Thanksgiving and two weeks after New Years. Add on
top of that, that WLNP came into effect the same time, and it just
compounded the lengthly calls during that time frame.
All the providers were having longer than usual holdtimes, not just for
holiday sales, but for WLNP issues ... You try calling now, and I doubt
you'd wait longer than a minute, once you are put in the prompt following
the voice prompts.

Why no Ron ... I didn't know you fly business class. Should I have?

I posted before I finish the message
What I was saying about "business class" vs "coach" is that if you are
not paying for a premium service (i.e. Sprint Vs Verizon) then don't
compare or complain if the service isn't as good. Now if Sprint cost
the same as Verizon you would expect comparable service.

Ah, I see ... said the blind man ... . In any event, whether one pays more
or less for their service, at the time you called SPCS, ALL the providers
had long hold times because of the reasons previously listed ...

Re: SprintPCS has worst Customer Service
Bob
I beleive you and I recall calling sprint once or twice in the last
month to ask about the V60V and the hold was really short, but........
I called 1-888-211-4727 tonight 7:30PM just to check. I told the
automated system "new phone", it said "leaving the automated system",
about 8 minutes later I got another call and clicked over, I never got
a live person.
I called back at 8:20PM and waited for about 4 minutes then a very
nice operator answered.
Also I recall (don't know what time of year) recently trying to call a
Sprint store for something. That is a losing proposition. They are
either too busy to even answer or you wait for ever.
Again, I don't care (much). I rarely need to call and again so what.
If I wanted better service I would pay the extra for Verizon

That is NEVER a valid excuse for the poor Customer Service of SprintPCS.

Don't have a clue why that happened. A day before, when I noticed my
daughter's phone was eligible, I did the very same thing as Ron, told the
voice prompt "new phone", and was sent to CS rep within a minute and a half.

Phillipe, you know full well that this past December, every provider was
jammed with phone calls, not just for holiday promotional deals, but for
WLNP ... Something which had just been federally mandated for the very first
time.

In any case, a provider needs to add more help for their phone lines if
they sense something that is going to happen that would bring a large
influx of calls -- like the WLNP. Sprint may have added more people to
answer calls, but there is no proof of that either. A customer should
expect slightly longer hold times during a launch of a brand new service
or product, but it is also the company's responsibility to do everything
in its power to help remedy that situation as well.

The problem is Eric, that you just can't add employees on the fly, as there
is quite a bit of training involved. In addition, after the holidays, what
are they suppose to do with those extra employees, with all the money spent
to train them? Keep them on, when they aren't needed?
It's probably a moot point as Sprint has already said that they contracted
with IBM, who will be taking over some of the CS duties.

Hey, Phillie, maybe you need to read your own post.
Did you know there are other agreements beside a "two-year Advantage=20
Agreement"? You were very specific in your accusation, and now your=20

"Yes, a plan change *does* require a renewal of the Advantage
Agreement."
Is what you wrote. And you **WERE** talking about an OP who just wanted
a plan with more minutes.

Re: SprintPCS has worst Customer Service
Long and short of it Phil is that to get 7pm N&W you have to sign a
new agreement. That is what the man said, it's what he meant, you tried
to twist it.
Leave it be, act like a grownup for once and move on.

Maybe you could be a grownup, and tell us who you are?
Except 7 PM was not the issue. The OP just wanted more minutes.
And a SprintPCS "pseudo expert" employee said any plan change requires a
new agreement, and two days later confessed for for just upgrading your
plan to more minutes, it does not require a new 2 year agreement.
And you need to learn the definition of Troll.
Troll is to post something false to get a reaction. Sounds like what you

PLONK.
"Curt Kobain is alive" would be a troll.
"SprintPCS" will close out the Sanyo 8100's for $19.99 in May" might be
a troll.
A post of a FAQ to help new visitors to this news group know about how

A Faq to help new visitors to this newsgroup learn about what to do with

Posting about how Executive Services could help someone not getting a
