Same for me, and when I was caught making call-backs on my lunch break I was
"coached" on not doing that!

I had another call to sprint c/s today at 5 Pm ,again a bad time to
call-actually 2 calls, hold time on one was maybe 5 min, the next
maybe 3--4 explained a very stange occurance, c/s guy didn't accuse me
of being crazy, just said "hold on", (took probably 7-8 mins on hold)
came back on with the every person to fix the problem, which he
promptly did..thank you very much, you did a great job, good bye----(
I feel c/s went out of the way to handle the problem)
Possibly others could post their experiences with c/s if they occur, I
know I sound like I work for sprint---but I am honestly plesantly
surprised by how well things have been handled (in the last 6 months
or so)
I did run into an odd thing; a couple of times after the hand off from
clair, I got a busy signal, and had to call backl--3rd time, calls
went through--I just assumed a very busy time for them-- end.

Phillie, do you *ever* intend to post something without=20

But it did take three tries to get to a CSR once. Thats a failure
2 out of 3 times, any way you apologize for it. How was it a lie, except
in your twisted mind???
Even SprintPCS knows its unacceptable, which is why all of CSR
is being handed off to IBM.

The increased and unacceptably long hold times started with WLNP in late
November. They have not improved or changed since. If they had billing
systems that didnt mess up, or did the number ports correctly, they'd
have fewer support calls.
A customer friendly company when they see hold times increase to 20 +
minutes hires more staff, or identifies what calls are about and takes
steps to prevent problems that generate support calls. Sprint PCS has
not done such.
Sprint PCS had its churn rate increase in December, Verizon had their
churn rate decrease (to half of Sprint PCS's now). And long hold times
do not make for happoy customers that want to stay customers when
opportunities present themselves to switch.
I have found hold times are shorter for "business" customers when using
the dedicated 888 number for business customers.

What makes you think that I think my problem is more important than
anybody elses? I simply think that a "10 to 15 minute" wait before
talking with somebody is simply too long. I will hang up. If I simply
must get through, I will vocalize my complaint and let it be known that
it will affect our future business. So far, it has not affected our
future business.

I HIGHLY doubt that these longer hold times are because of WLNP. You
have seen the number of ports too and from Sprint PCS since its offering
in November and you know very well that number is quite small (hence
your other prediction about the extinction for Sprint PCS due to WLNP
was shown as crap).
Have a nice day.

You really ARE a MORON! You said "Their system fails two times out of
three". There is a very clear implication here.

You claim to know the reason for their decision ... you must really have
some good inside sources .. or perhaps it is all just coming out of your
ass.

IF the caller has only ever called CS three times, yes.

It stared earlier? I know we had posts here in November. When did your
mandatory overtime (which had little effect on wait times) start?

Get real. You are not seriously trying to tell us that Sprint PCS
thinkls 20 minute wait times are acceptable. Or are you denying
yesterday's press release that Sprint PCS is handing off all its CSR to
IBM ?

Hey stupid- have you noticed the pattern yet? Whichever carrier you go to,
the wait times increase. When you went to AT&T, the hold times started
being measured in hours. Now you are back at PCS, and they have an increase
in hold times.
I think I understand ita ll now- Phil is the consumer version of a computer
virus- he gets into a system and the whole thing starts acting up. Maybe
Sprint could contract McAfee to provide them with a Philly scan
