Dear Sprint PCS,

I have no issues at all with SprintPCS. I left back in June to go to Nextel
for their DC and purchase a Blackberry 7510. It was the worst mistake I ever
made. Not only did the device cost me $350 + $50 in taxes and fees but I was
spending $120 per month for phone and data service with taxes and fees.
Mostly I would not have minded but the device was a piece of crap and the
service was terrible. Their CSRs were non-existant since I owned a
Blackberry, I had to speak with Blackberry Support for even the most
simpliest of issues. I usually sleep during the day and am awake at night so
this was a problem since BB Support was only open from 8am to 10pm. It was
the best thing I could have done to pay the ETF of $200, cancel the account
after only four months and go back to Sprint. The kicker was the second time
my Blackberry broke down (yes, twice in less than four months) and was
clearly a warranty repair (both times) only to have Nextel tell me it would
cost $35 to repair it. $35 to repair an item that was still under warranty
is OUTRAGEOUS and I had to pay that twice in four months ($70). They told me
I could get it done for free if I paid them $2.50 per month for insurance
but it's not free if I have to pay anything... even as little as $1 let
alone $2.50 per month.

So, you want to talk about bad service? Try Nextel for two months and you'll
be glad to come back to Sprint.

If you can't bore us with the details, then I have to assume there are
no details to be bored with. So i can't really see your complaint as
credible.

Nope, never had it. A couple years back, Sprint had such a fee for poor
credit customers, but even that was dropped a long time ago. So it
seems like your complaint is outdated, at best. And the fact that you
WERE charged the $3 back when they WERE doing it speaks volumes about
you.

What's amazing here is that you have *any* customers at all, considering the

Ah, now we're getting somewhere. A real argument, and one that has some validity.

I think the ads could've been worded much better. I think "we eliminated unfair
overages" means, to a lot of people, "you'll never get charged overages."

What it *actually* means in Sprint's case is that "you will always know exactly
what you're paying." And in most cases, unless you only go over by a handful of
minutes, it'll be less than you'll pay other companies for overages. I switched
to F&F because I like the more predictable bills.

But I agree that they could have worded the ads better.

Uhhhh, no, they don't.

If you aren't paying the $5/month for early off-peak hours, your nights start
at 9pm either on Fair and Flexible or on any other plan (I know - I just
recently switched from Free & Clear).

If you are paying the $5/month extra, you can still pay that amount for the 7pm
nights. Read the F&F brochure. It even says so. 7pm nights are $5/month extra
and require a contract extension - regardless of which plan you're on. If you
were already paying $5 for 7pm nights, you will continue to be able to get the
7pm nights for $5.

I'd agree with you, except that... well... you're wrong. I think you might have
misunderstood what you were told or read.

Advertising is just a way to catch people's attention. The Sprint ads
you mentioned are clever because they do catch people's attention.
It is naive to assume that companies exist for the purpose of making
people happier. It is still up to you as a wise consumer to investigate
all the aspects of newly offered plans, such as starting time for night
minutes. For some people, the Fair & Flexible plans are a very good fit,
but certainly not for everyone. Caveat emptor!

I don't see that on the page describing the plan
http://www.sprintpcs.com/common/popu...rFlexible.html But it does
say the forboding "Additional terms and conditions apply."
And on the two occasions I inquired, the rep's I spoke to didn't offer
that. In fact, one spciffacally addressed the issue. He said I couldn't
get the same start time for night (off peak, N&W, whatever you want to
call them) minutes.

I found the $5 deal
http://www.sprintpcs.com/common/popu...arting7pm.html That's
not what I've been getting. My night minutes (did) start at 8:00 pm.

I don't pore over phone invoices; I don't have time to do that sort of
thing. I didn't even know the name of my (previous, now that I've left)
plan was Free & Clear. But now, because of the current discussion, I'm
trying to look at my invoice. I can't though, because I use the online
invoice and my password doesn't work, the same password I've had for a
while, and the same password sent to my phone via text messaging. This
problem, BTW, is typical for dealing with Sprint. Such difficulities are
so common they don't even rate the title "problem"; that term is
reserved for the more serious difficulities.... I'm at this vary instant
on hold to speak with some kind of tech support. I already spoke with
two departments who were unsuccessful in getting me a password. Each
could see my invoice but couldn't email it to me. -- incidently, these
departments don't hand off info on a caller to eachother. With each
department, you have to introduce yourself again with your number
etc. -- Since I knew I would be on hold for a while, I asked the last
guy some questions about my invoice. Guess what, they've been charging
me $4/mo. since May '04 for roadside assistance. I never orderd that. So
now I've uncovered yet _another_ problem ...Well I just spoke with tech
support and now I have a working password. I can see my invoice now.Sure
enough, I have Roadside Rescue stuck on there. You see what I mean? The
company is a rip-off. You have to keep examining your bills to see if
they tack-on any unrequested charges. In case you didn't know, adding
unrequested services is an old phone company trick.

I just transfered to customer service to talk on that issue. After the
customer service rep looked at my account, She said my wife ordered the
roadside rescue in May '04 when my wife unblocked caller ID. [This is
another story and problem that happened back then. We thought we solved
the prob, but now I see we got a new one in the process.] Naturally I
requested to be credited the amount I already paid. The rep said she she
wasn't allowed to go back to May and couldn't do that. She said all she
could do was credit my account $10. When I asked how I could pursue the
complaint, she offered the contact page on the site. That's not right,
of course; I never ordered nor used the service [1]; I didn't know I had
it. In fact, I paid cash for a tow a couple of months ago.

You say "Uhhhh, no, they don't" with such confidence, but you're wrong.
I wasn't on that five buck deal, and the changeover time for me was 8
pm. Furthermore, at the time I inquired, the five-bucker wasn't offered
on the flexable plan - or at least the customer service reps weren't
educated to the offer.

I was talking about the deception in the ad (Sprint claims to be a hero
but is really the villain), but I might as well add to that now
considering the newly discovered Roadside junk. If I charged a customer
of mine something he didn't get nor asked for, they would, at minimum,
expect me to adjust the bill to the complete amount.

[1] I just spoke to my wife, and she remembers the rep offering Roadside
but she declined. I didn't really need my wife to tell me this. It would
have been out of character for her to order something like that.

Also, I never got an email or anything else informing me that I now had
an added service.

And this is _not_ the what caused me to dump Sprint. But it goes to show
the more you look into your relationship with Sprint, the more you find
out Sprint is taking advantage of you.

Nemo, you're quite the paranoid idiot.

Sprint offers traditional plans and continues to do so because for some
people, that is a better choice. Not every person has erratic calling
patterns, and for many, their calling patterns may be high-volume and
quite steady and predictable. For these people, the traditional 800+
minute fixed plans are actually more cost effective than the adjustable
Fair and Flexible plans.

It all boils donw to offering people a choice. No one is forced to take
a Free & Clear plan on Sprint, but it is there for those who would
prefer to have it. If the plan isn't right for you, just switch to a
Fair and Flexible. No sinister motives here.

Cingular doesn't offer the Rollover feature on all of their plans. Are
you going to say that they are "villians" too?

Quite wrong. Both the Free and Clear and F&F plans start their night
minutes at 9:00 p.m., and in both cases you can opt for a 7:00 p.m.
start time for $5 extra. This aspect has not changed.

No current plans offer 8pm nights. Again, other carriers have had old features
that are no longer available, and with those carriers, same as Sprint, if you
switch to a new plan you generally lose the old features.

If you aren't looking at your bills (cellular or otherwise, but especially
cellular), you're stupid.

You say "Uhhhh, no, they don't" with such confidence, but you're wrong.

OK, you're absolutely right that they should have told you that you couldn't
keep the 8pm nights. They don't do 8pm nights anymore, just 7pm for $5/month.

> And this is _not_ the what caused me to dump Sprint. But it goes to show

Well, it might have been that, or it might have been an honest mistake. I
wasn't involved and I can't tell you which it was.

My experience with cellular carriers (most recently Sprint and Verizon) is that
front-line CSRs aren't going to be able to pull up data older than a month or
two, which is why intelligent people check their bills every month. Billing
data gets archived. If any of the big guys kept all of their billing data,
their storage requirements would become unmanageable very quickly - we're
talking about companies with billing data for millions of customers.

So, since stuff like this does happen (and not just with SprintPCS), no matter
WHO your carrier is, it behooves you to keep an eye on your bill and CALL when
there is a screwup. I've had a few billing screwups happen to me, but I've
called and they have been fixed. The key is calling when you get the bill, or
within a few weeks of getting the bill, not months afterward.

I think you have some valid points. However, the whole roadside assistance
issue could have been avoided easily if you paid attention to your bills. I've
seen more than one post in the cell newsgroups where people get pissed about
billing issues, but you talk to them and find out that they never bother
reading their bills. It's similar to the people I had to deal with years ago
working ISP tech support who had a problem, waited two weeks to call me and
started yelling at me because they'd had problems for two weeks... we tried to
be as proactive as possible to head off problems but there is NO WAY to avoid
100% of the issues customers might have, and I firmly believe that at least a
small group of them wanted to try to communicate with me via ESP and got mad
when I was unable to read their minds. (And I try very hard to offer the best
customer service I can, but if you don't tell me there's a problem, I won't know!)

I don't end a business relationship rashly or without cause.
Additionally, I have, shall we say, *social* reasons to maintain a
Sprint relationship; this is why I postponed my departure. I remind you:
I've been a Sprint subscriber since '99.

My current issue with Sprint can only be resolved by someone at Sprint,
and those people are can look up the notes on my account. I'm not
concerned if you conclude that my complaint is not credible because I'm
not even arguing that particular issue here. Here, I'm simply saying I
have an issue, which when culminated with pervious issues, sums to
sufficient magnitude to cause me to unsubscribe. There's been a parade
of problems, and marginally satisfactory or unsatisfactory solutions,
since '99. This last issue, if it had been the only one, probably would
be insufficient to cause me to unsubscribe.

But because of the current discussion, I've been forced to flesh out
details of some previous issues. And because of the current discussion,
I uncovered an issue I previously didn't know about - slamming Roadside
Rescue on me and not refunding the consequent stolen amount.

If I were to sum it up, I'd say that there are basically two possible
relationships a business can have with a customer: adversarial or
cooperative. Sprint takes the adversarial attitude. So if you get a
Sprint phone, be warned: You are taking on a new enemy.
