He probably believed their advertising.

If you want to give it a try, I bet a sympathetic small claims judge
would LOVE to rule against a cell company for false advertising. You
would need to get copies of all the advertising you relied upon when
choosing Sprint and then be able to demonstrate all the ways that
advertising proved to be false when you actually tried to use the
phones as advertised.

All the cell phone companies lie, blatantly, in their advertising.
They haven't been called on it yet.

Here in the SF/SJ Bay Area, I've personally experienced zero cell
signal while in the middle of a large coverage "zone". Many months
later they finally redid the map showing a hole right were I said it
was. It had been there all along, the map LIED. Unfortunately, that
hole was where I lived, so I was unable to get any signal in the house
and only occasionally enough signal to make calls while outside.
Because I relied on the map when getting my phone, and because it
worked *sometimes*, I assumed it would work always. WRONG.
Fortunately, I was able to convince them to let me out of the 1 year
contract with no penalties after a support person admitted that they
had a known coverage hole in my area and I told them that if they
didn't let me out of the contract I'd sue for false advertising (due
to that inaccurate coverage map).

Doesn't matter as long as the phone is within the one year it is
purchased.
