never. what an original comeback though.

Sure, they could have as a courtesy comped the service, but in this economy I don't see how you can blame them for not doing so.

Again, did someone wearing a yellow polo shirt show up at your home with a gun and force you to sign up for an unnecessary phone, put it in a drawer, forget about it, and then cancel your service?

If they did, then I take back my comment.

BTW, why didn't you notice the phone and it's line and number on your bill when you reviewed it?

Yes, it's all my fault. Happy now, dickhead?

It just sickens me how many people refuse to take personal responsibilty these days. It's ruining America.

If that 3rd phone line was on the same account, it should have been canceled by default when the account was closed out. Your contract was obviously not extended by the third line because you were not charged an early termination fee when canceling the account. If the phone line was on a separate account, then that's your fault. If not, it's theirs.

The fact that you had an extra line and phone that was never used is irrelevant. You could have had 1000 extra lines. So long as they were on the account that you closed out, those lines should be closed out as well.

Knowing just what you told us, sounds like you were in the right.

This is more anti- sprint bias from frazod that we have come to expect.

Sprint has had to do alot to win me back as a customer but they did, most recently the sprint store rep drove from the P&L District out to overland park during rush hour to personally deliver my new phone.

Sprint is really trying to turn things around, and have greatly improved in the last year or so.. especially in areas of customer service, and coverage - again especially in the KC area.
Its going to take some time, they are going to have to continue to work EXTRA hard to overcome this huge negative perception that they generated for many years, but may I suggest giving them another try - they are NOT the same old sprint that everyone loved to hate.

Verizon was the absolute worst carrier that I ever had - they would put extra charges on almost every bill

ATT's Data network was way too slow and the GSM quality was not that great.

again.. they all suck.. pick your poison and STFU.

Here comes SLAG the Sprint cheerleader to explain why getting ****ed over by a company you've used and supported for years should not only be expected but QUIETLY accepted.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY SLAG!!!!!!

Hey, perhaps you and Mikey could get together and think of more cool and sneaky new ways **** over Sprint's customers.

Just be sure to clear them with legal first.

I'd like to say that you'll probably get better service out of AT&T....or Verizon....or Sprint.....or **enter name of cell phone carrier here**, but I doubt it. Like you said, pick your poison. Regardless of who you are with, they'll screw you.

I'm with Sprint - and have been for nearly 10 years - only because I have personally never had any major problems with them.

No, it was all on one account. But apparently each line is regarded as a sub-account. I guess the sea monster won't die until you kill ALL of its tentacles.

The justification for charging me the whole $93 was that I went into the next "billing cycle." Another great tactic they use - whether I use the phone for an hour into the billing cycle or 29 days, I get charged the same $93.

$93 for a single line, with no extra features, that wasn't even used, for three days. Hey, that's fair!

Same or different account number on the third phone?

Same account number.

I won't go into my story about Sprint, but all I'll say is that I will never, ever even consider going back to them. Ever.

Then that sounds like they messed up and you should not owe.

Lzen 06-30-2009 10:55 AM

BTW,
I just fired ATT. But that was my land line and DSL account. I'm actually fairly pleased with my cell service from ATT.

Yeah, you'd think so. But the Sprint manager thinks otherwise, and I don't want my credit rating nuked over $93.

Gonzo 06-30-2009 10:59 AM

Alltel has been pretty good to me, but they were just bought by Verizon so we'll see how that goes I guess.

JD10367 06-30-2009 11:00 AM

Sprint sucks balls. I canceled my cellphone and a year later they hit me up for fifteen bucks. I decided it was easier to pay them than to argue about it. They then hit my parents up about THREE years later, for FIVE FRIGGING BUCKS. I think it's a scam they're running, to see how much free cash they can trick out of people...

Chief Chief 06-30-2009 11:03 AM

You should just be happy that through your $93..um, contribution.., SPRINT was able to keep the "R" and the "N" in the big SPRINT Center sign downtown lit up for another night. Otherwise, it would read SPIT Center and then just imagine the kind of hell that would break loose, caused by all of them smokeless dippin' redneck tourists in the Power & Light District!
