When I first switched from verizon to sprint I hated them, but I have to say in the last year they have really improved. I have had them for three years, and I have seen better customer service and support already. They messed up my bill one time, and they promptly changed it when I called in. I had difficulties getting service in areas of my home when I first started, but for some reason I now have much better reception in those areas where I used to not be able to get a signal. Additionally, I pay 44 dollars for unlimited texts, unlimited picture msgs, 600 minutes, and high speed internet on my phone. I am a happer camper with sprint now.

I used to have Nextel, and never had a dropped call. One of Sprint's fine customer service reps, I think it was either Lucy or Sandy from Bangladesh, talked me in to switching to their state-of-the-art hybrid phones. SHe did a poor job of explaining that what the hybrid phones do is use Sprints PCS network and Nextel's direct connect feature.
Of course, the Sprint coverage, even here in a well populated area, is the absolute worst of all carriers here. I can't even use my phone a home without having a call dropped, and there's a freaking Nextel tower right out of the back of my property. ANd also, every damned time I do anything to my account, they make me extend my contract for 2 FREAKING YEARS!! Needless to say, my contract and my time with SPrint will expire in August.

ya know guys i dont mind the bagging on Sprint b/c they do have issues but for everyone who is hell bent on seeing them go belly up just think what thats going to do to KC.
we appear to have good leadership finally and that’s what is needed to make progress. Rome wasn’t built in a day, if anyone can turn Sprint around Hesse can. if for one reason only he WANTS to do so. before anyone asks no i don’t feel that Forsee gave a rats about the companies. both Sprint AND Nextel. in the end may they fail? sure that’s a risk of business. but i feel the main issue is that for the past 6 - 10 years everyone’s been classically conditioned to automatically hate sprint. all i ask is that when (if) things turn around then you take notice. again as with being with Sprint over 7 years im use to walking out in public and getting stones tossed at me for A) classic JoCo customer service (meaning crappy) and B) coverage issues. it comes with the territory, as long as i am with Sprint i will however continue to support it to the best of my ability even though my job has no bearing shape or form on customer service and or coverage. long live Sprint, i hope for the best .... now lets all chug! p.s. no im not trying to do a WPI-esk pimp up speech, im just givign my honest opinion on the subject cant hate me for that right? i mean afterall i at LEAST hate CP

I don't think anyone wants to see Sprint tank, we are just expressing our opinions on why Sprint is losing millions of customers every year, thus partially causing growing losses.

I was on the Sprint network and had too many dropped calls, so I switched to the Nextel network. Much better. Any Nextel users notice intereference with speakers? Their CS needs drastic improvment.

They are awful and if they do go belly up it's because they found building a prison and an arena more important than building a business with decent products and service.

When you lay-off half of America, it's pretty hard to find customers.

Sprint's ad campaign should be,
"Can you hea.... dammit. [redial] Can you he... MOTHER ****ER.... [redial] Sorry about that, I have Sprint PCS, Piece of Crap Service. Can you h... " [call Verizen to switch to America's best network.] |

I had Sprint PCS for 8 years straight until late last year. Never changed carriers at all.
Finally switched to T-Mobile. I just got frustrated with poor customer service, poorly made phones, phone calls constantly getting dropped and numerous billing mistakes over the years. Its just been a gradual decline for them since the early 2000's. Maybe they will bounce back? But for now, they have been lapped by the other carriers.
