Horrible customer service.

Posted on: May 21st, 2008 by Vanessa O.

The good: Decent coverage overall in the DC metro area and in southern CaliforniaThe bad: Everything!!! The phones are really expensive, the customer service is the worst, and there is always something wrong with the bill or they add services that I didn't request. Summary: I switched from AT&T to Sprint exactly two years ago since AT&T had become Cingular and they had terrible customer service. Also my boyfriend had a plan through Sprint so we decided to get the family plan through them. At the store, everything seemed to be fine. They were suppose to easily transfer my number without any issues...well they almost lost it but I had noticed in time to make sure the number wasn't reassigned to someone else. After the first month, I received a bill for four times the amount it should have been (over $400 for the $89.99 family plan). They had literally charged my account four times. After dealing with customer service for several hours, I finally got it fixed. The next month, the account was charged twice. Again eventually customer service corrected it after long hours talking on the phone with them. Since we had told them to cancel the plan, the convinced us to stay and gave us extra services for free. The third month the bill was correct, but the extra services were never added. Throughout the two years there have always been issues. Finally this month my plan is up and we are deciding to looking for another provider especially since my last bill has an additional $75 charge for internet use that I did not use. After asking to speak to a manager, I was ignored and given weak excuses. Let's just say I am currently looking at other providers at the moment.

Freedom at last!!!

Posted on: May 10th, 2008 by Deangelo Jenkins

The good: None, absolutely horrible company. The bad: Terrible customer service, most of the customer service reps are from non-english speaking backgrounds and thus are hard to understand. No one seems to know the right answer and if you call 3 different CSR you will get 3 very different answers. My bills kept changing month after month what a joke. They had to credit my account every month for over charging. Summary: Please heed the warning and stay far away from Sprint or I promise you, you will be sorry... thank heavens my contract ended today, I'm free, never, ever to return!!!!!

Can't wait to switch, avoid Sprint!

Posted on: April 10th, 2008 by Heather K

The good: ?The bad: customer service is terrible!!!!!!!!Summary: We have had service with sprint for the last 7 years and they were fine to start with but in just the last couple of years the customer service has gotten terrible. The most recent problem we have had is when one of our phones buttons quit working. We don't live very close to the store that does repairs (not all of them do repairs) so we switched the number to an older phone we had which doesn't work very well( drops calls, won't hold a charge well etc )so we could continue to use the line. I took the broken one in when I had time and they told me that they wouldnt fix it b/c it didn't have and active number on it anymore. I explained we paid for insurence on that phone and we needed a working phone on that line b/c it was used for a business line. The phone couldn't be reactived with the number b/c the buttons didn't work so they pretty much told us we were out of luck and could just buy another phone and sign another contract. NEVER! why pay to insure a phone if they will find any excuse not to fix it. This is just one of the many recent problems we have had. Do yourself a favor and don't mess with sprint!!!! oh and They never have the cool new phones either it was like 3 years after the razr phone that everyone wanted came out that they finally got it and by then it sucked compared to everything else.

Sprint is great

Posted on: March 30th, 2008 by Brian Smith

The good: Phones, service, call quality, plansThe bad: NoneSummary: I have never had a problem with Sprint, they have the best phones (Sanyo), great plans to choose from, and excellent reception wherever I go. I have had Sprint for over 8 years and have no plans on ever switching service.People who complain about Sprint are the ones who constantly switch providers and dislike them all. My answer is to move out of the sticks and quit your complaining.

Bills get higher and higher

Posted on: March 19th, 2008 by Anonymous

The good: noneThe bad: everythingSummary: We updated our phones x4 and got the "new & better" ones that were suppose to get better reception. Since this we have had numerous calls dropped, no service, and lots of roaming charges added to our bill, this didn't happen with the old phone. When I called and complained about it they said I must contact service, when I questioned charges on roaming, they told me I had 10 seconds to cancel the call or be charged. "TEN SECONDS".

Sprint- not again- counting days to cancel

Posted on: March 15th, 2008 by L P

The good: ?? Are there any??The bad: Poor customer serviceSummary: I called in to make a late payment and to let them know that I would have bill caught up by April 1st. I was told comments could not be placed in the systems and that I had to call back again- after 25 minutes on phone and several 'wrong' people to talk to concerning bill- to give them info AFTER my next bill was late in two weeks to avoid late fees and etc. What a waste of my time to have to call again to tell them same thing I was saying then! I was told that had I discussed this prior to payment I could have been helped within same conversation, but now my phone bill was current and could no longer be assisted!! Transferred to supervisor who claimed he had no boss above him and he was going to hang up on me and that is just the way it was going to be.

Consistent Service - Poor

Posted on: March 15th, 2008 by Gary Hedges

The good: Has been the lowest cost provider for some time now. The bad: Web site consistently not working properly when I need it. Promises broken by sales people in stores. Letters to corporate not answered. "Live" support ranges from fair to poor.Summary: From the first service order Sprint people got our service request wrong and then were 'unable' to fix problems. Initially we requested a 300 minute plan for two additiona lines but were set up with two 3000 minute plans. Supervisore couldn't even fix that problem. Cost of replacement phones inconsistent and prices given to us by local Sprint sales people were wrong. Corporate failed to respond to letter of complaint and store manager was useless. As soon as our current contract is up it's bye bye Sprint and that's after putting up with their stories and poor service for over 7 years
