I had changed our plan in December 2002 to get new phones and more minutes
with a 1 year agreement. I was very happy with the new phones and the
additional time. Last November 2003 we found that we were running over
minutes on our plan due to family illness. Me wife contacted C/S to upgrade.
We went to 700 minutes from 500 minutes and added PCS 2 PCS for free . When
my wife told me about it I called Sprint PCS to get the details on the plan.
I was then told we were required to fulfill a 2 year agreement. I decided
that the commitment of 2 years was not worth the added minutes. I asked how
long we had to reverse the change. The C/S person said we had 14 days. I had
my wife called and cancel the changes.
I had enough of the reception and billing difficulties and decided to
change providers due to the fact that we can keep our number. Now I receive
a bill with a charge of $150 X 2 for $300 early cancellation. Frank W. the
C/S supervisor told me that since we were customers since 1999 we were not
entitled to the 2 week period to change our mind. That he could only give me
an address to contact to further dispute the $300 charges.
Now we have no way to check on policies regarding this change as our
account has been closed.
Where should I go from here? Any help would be appreciated.

Yup, we had osiris confess that thats not what the rules are but he
always put people in new 2 year contracts anyway.
Write to your State's Attorney general with a certified copy to SprintPCS
in KC. A typical example of SprintPCS being customer unfriendly. And
since the $300 is in dispute don't pay them.

Hmmmm- I don't see anything about any dollar amount in dispute- Ritalin
running low again?
And before you have a hissy, if you are talking about the ETF, there is no
mention that the phones have been deactivated. You can't withhold payment
based on a charge that hasn't appeared on your bill- withholding $300 from a
bill that shows only correct charges will result in deactivation of the
phones and a slow pay notation on your account (not the best thing to have
at retention time). And Sprint will be well within their rights, the law
and the Service Agreement to do it.
Gee Phil- I would have thought that your lawyer/son would have explained
that to you. Or is it a case of even he realizing what an absolute moron
you are, too?

Too late- I beat him to it last week when he subjected me to his 'naughty
word' count. I told him he forgot to count the "m" word. Kind of
interesting- all of the occurrences happened to be in response to his posts.

Thanks, Phil- AOL told me the next time you did that to me, to let them
know. Apparently, there's quite a file full of complaints, and they are
very willing to listen to a longtime customer (1994). And, they seem to be
willing to contact your ISP as well. Bob may not have had any luck, but
I'll bet they carry a little more clout.
I've also sent a copy of this and the last ten times you've done this (with
headers) to Earthlink, along with my posts requesting that you stop.
BTW- Jerry's comments were directed to me, not you. Learn how to follow a
thread, you moron.

I happen to know the guy in charge of the Abuse desk at Earthlink - was
actually talking to him about taking a job at Earthlink's Pasadena facility
(decided not to, it's too much of a commute from Apple Valley, and gas is
ridiculously expensive here). I'm going to ask him for a clarification of
ELN's policies on morphing - as always, it's not the trolling I care about,
it's the morphing that I consider abusive.
