    What it mentions is to ask the Sprint salesman and to investigate
    attached documentation, which *included* the ERP brochure, and which I
    didn't have handed to me because I refused ERP.

    And my status as a Sprint rep is irrelevant. Even if I am, I'm on my
    time here, not company time. I've made no claim to you that I am
    speaking for Sprint, and I know that reps have no authority to do so on
    forums such as this newsgroup.

    You have utterly no idea what affect my presence has on customers, and
    your sad attempt at sarcasm says more about you than about me.

    Unfortunately, I have. A rep on our floor did it, and was fired before
    the week was up. If a rep sells enough of these, it adds to their
    bonus. A rep doing this under false pretenses is committing fraud
    against Sprint, and there *have* been prosecutions, even before my call
    center closed up (though not *at* that call center, so far as I was
    aware).

    My contract never mentioned anything like that. I signed up in late
    January of this year. Maybe they have amended the contract since this
    time, but mine doesn't mention it. Ask the New York Attorney General of
    New York! I sent him a copy of the contract.

    I think the above statement answers my question. You ARE a Sprint rep!
    What a surprise, since you are the only person I've seen here
    defending Sprint's lackluster customer service. Instead of arguing with
    all of us CUSTOMERS (key word here), you should be attempting to satisfy
    our legitimate complaints.

    I wasn't trying to be sarcastic, I was just stating facts, just like the
    other dissatisfied customers in this group. If I was the CEO or top
    level management of Sprint, I would be appalled at what I read here and
    would take immediate actions to have my employees rectify the many
    complaints BEFORE they reach this level of public exposure. It is an
    embarrassment to Sprint and I'm sure it is not only driving away current
    customers, such as myself, but it is also a deterrent to any person
    looking for a cell phone company in the future.

    I'm curious did this contract say they have to give you a new phone? Since
    this sounds like your advantage agreement, which is between you and
    sprintpcs, and not your ERP contract, which is between you and lockline,
    then it should have made no mention of add-ons or services beyond that of
    your initial plan. In that case according to it sprintpcs owes you nothing
    which I'm sure the nice people in NY could confirm.

    Weird documentation, or weird promises verbally. But he's apparently
    not interested in any discussion that questions what happened.

    Well, when the fine print says that they can give you a completely
    different refurbished phones, it seems like one needs to buy
    "insurance" for the "insurance" in the event they have to buy
    completely new accessories.

    And they pushed that "insurance" on me when I ordered a phone via
    telesales recently. I asked about the details, they said "If you lose
    your phone, we will replace it without cost".

    That's all they said. No deductibe, no "refurb", no "different phone".
    Just "If you lose you phone, we will replace it without cost."

    I guess they don't consider $50 "a cost".

    Maybe the phone would have arrived with a contract that contained all
    the fine print, but I obviously declined (even though they HIGHLY
    recommended the "Equipment Replacement Program" ... after all, it's
    only $5 a month). With the enthusiasm I'm guessing they get some kind
    of incentive for selling it, but I can't be sure.

    They were hardly what I would call upfront regarding the dedictible, or
    anything else besides the fact that they replaced the phone without
    cost.

    Some people would call that a scam. I guess it depends on how you
    define the word. Some people would call it simple incompetence.

    $110 for the first year for a possible refurb of a different model
    doesn't sound too terribly appealing.

    But to each his/her own.

    Hey, is "says more about you" related to "very telling".

    Because you didn't inform him that his attitude was "very telling" and
    frankly I am getting a little bit worried that you are not using the
    correct cliche's.

    Yes, your presense has a great effect on customers.

    It confirms everything we suspected about Sprint as a whole. Blaming
    the customer, assuming the customer is wrong, personal insuts,
    spinning, obfuscating, hostility toward the customer (especially a
    customer who dares to disagree).

    You confirm what every Customer Satisfaction Survey has found.

    Sprint is at or near the bottom when it comes to Customer Service.

    What's with all this "we" you are posting FWIW? There is no "we".

    I've known Rob on this newsgroup for a good 2 years now, and I trust what he

    There you go again with that "we" crap. It sounds like you aren't just a

    Sure there is. "We" = more than one person.

    As a matter of fact if you go to www.doctionary.com and look up "we",
    you can see the official defintion.

    >I've known Rob on this newsgroup for a good 2 years now, and I trust what he

    Okay, fair enough.

    >You, on the other hand, have no credibility.


    Well, your opinion is certainly duly noted. I don't work for Sprint.
    I'm not asking for your business. I also have JD Powers and other
    customer satisfaction survey's to back up my claims.

    Sure, J.D. Powers is no "Bob", but hey, it's a start.

    Ahhhh, now THAT post that fosters credibility "Bigot", "Schitzo" ....
    beautiful.

    This is how you are defending the Sprint Rep? No great surprise I
    suppose. Hostility toward the customer. "We" (more than one of us
    according to some survey's) are well familiar with it.

    Perhaps my lack of ad-hominem attacks is what has you bamboozled, Bob.

    Apparently you equate the two with "credibility".

    But, i'm not sure if they are one and the same.

    I suppose that is a matter of personal opinion.

    I like the addition of "schitzo", however. It was a nice departure
    from all of the other unimaginative insults that were flying around the
    group earlier.

    Might I suggest that in the next post you somehow denegrate the
    reputation of my mother, or perhaps insult the size of my penis?

    Those are oldies, but goodies. I hear retro is chic these days.

    In order to have credibility, you must present something of worth.
    Generally more than personal opinion. Having not done that yourself, you
    therefore have no credibility.

    Rob, OTOH, has years of documented experience in the field. You have
    already admitted none. You are the last one here that needs to be bringing
    up credibility as an issue.

    They were unimaginative due to the boring subject matter at hand.

    And this is why you will never have credibility here- complaining about the
    insults and then begging for more will only create even more credibility
    issues for you.
