    I went to use my phone one day and it wouldn't make calls. It told me to
    call *2. I call *2 and they say "your number is deactivated". I ask
    why, they say "It shouldn't have been, you have a credit balance", I say
    "can we fix it?", they escalate to someone with authority to do it, and
    they come back "The system gives me an error message". 36 hours later at
    my behest Executive Services gets into the act, and unlike another
    SprintPCS employee who incorrectly says worst case they solve it in 72
    hours, a week later they hadn't. At that point SprintPCS gave up, gave
    me a new number, an apology and a $200 phone for free. A very nice Sanyo
    RL2500, which I like.

    This is a prima facia case of SprintPCS software being just plain bad.
    But we already know about problems with Convergys don't we?

    Absolutely incredible to hear this story now, from the biggest SPCS
    complainer, when this allegedly took place a few months ago, per the prior
    post below (which is fully quoted).

    Such nonsense. Sprint PCS just gave me a RL2500 at no cost.

    Speaking of bad guesses. Convergys only does our billing software.

    Well lets see. Because of improperly shifting my contract end date, I
    have in writing that I would not be charged an ETF. My account was so
    annotated, my phone number was deleted by bad Sprint software, they
    eventually gave me a new number when they couldn't figure out how to get
    it back; guess what, I was charged for two ETFs.

    BAD SOFTWARE

    Luckily Executive Services credited my account, with some extra credits
    along with the apology.

    Poor Bobbie Smith.

    And when I choose to detail what details is up to me, and hardly a cause
    for complaint on his part. Sorry he is obscessed with someone who knows
    how to get SprintPCS screwups corrected. He just refuses to admit
    SprintPCS is screwing up. Maybe he's too upset about not be able to fly
    Business Class, and get free drinks.

    He keeps asking why I would stay with SprintPCS. Well, Executive
    Services does (unlike *2 folks that **WILL** hangup on you after 6
    minutes) correct screwups, and do what is necessary to make things right.

    Too bad he tries so hard to keep Executive Services secret, and not
    admit that people should call there when *2 can't or won't help.

    EXECUTIVE SERVICES: 866-519-5698

    I have *never* seen or heard of a number "just disappearing". You're
    leaving out some huge important poiece of information, which you claim
    that is covered under your NDA with AT&T wireless's lawyers.

    Since it's being handled by AT&T wireless's lawyers, then that would
    make us believe that your number was ported to AT&T wireless, which
    SprintPCA and AT&T wireless would know that, but you aren't saying it.

    Honestly, if this did happen exactly as you say it, we all here know
    that you would have made a much larger stink in here than to just come
    back and say "Hey, they gave me 2 free RL2500s!".

    Again, I'm amazed beyond comprehension how Phillipe/Robert M. would take 10
    weeks to mention his problem with SPCS ... considering his hatred towards
    the service.

    Aren't you the one who complains about people insulting you when you
    post something they don't like. (Even though that is an awful attempt
    at insulting)

    I guess you have a 'Do as I say, don't do as I do" policy?

    They have a word for people like you, hypocrite.
