How much do I hate Sprint?
Posted on May 22, 2008 by MANIFEST ME! in GeneralOh just a lot…. I don’t recommend their services to anyone! I have dropped more calls and hardly receive any all because of their horrible signal.
I am half way through my two year agreement and my husband and I were thinking about upgrading to get new phones, but we were reminded how horrible our services are and found out if we upgraded that means we were stuck with them for two more years. I know they are coming out with their new Samsung Instinct and they are putting it up against the Iphone, but AT& T service is way better that Sprints will ever be. I hardly ever get a good signal.
My latest cell phone nightmare is when my phone broke in half after falling on the floor. It was sitting on my desk being charged up and I accidentally bump it off the desk and since it is a flip phone it detached it self and broke in half. I have never dropped it previously… After going and waiting at the sprint store they said it was fixable after waiting a hour and then leaving and coming back a couple hours later the story changed as to the phone not being fixable. So, I was left with out a phone for about three days. When I got the new phone in, it was the exactly like the one I had.. but before I would just not get a signal in my office at all, this time I get a signal in spots but it’s Roaming… Now, who wants to pay roaming charges for being in the coverage area? That’s crazy!Another problem I have with them is that there upgrading advertising is misleading…… It advertising a phone for a certain amount with rebates and Internet discounts, but if you are already a sprint customer you don’t qualify for any of the new rebates and discounts, once you have to input your phone number to upgrade all of the pretty advertisement disappears….. and you are then offered the phone at the regular price, which is too high for something that is going to be instinct a few months from now. If you have been a customer for one year then you get at $75 rebate and if two years a $150 rebate, but the bottom line prices is no where near what the phone is being advertised for, it is totally twisted!
My greatest example is when my coworkers and I were on a business trip to Austin and each of us had a different cell phone carrier. There was Sprint. Alltel, Verizon, and Cingular… We were in the boomdies.. meaning the woods, where there was nothing but trees, grass, corn fields, etc…. just country.. Verizon was the only service that always had a signal the entire time! So I believe “Can you hear me now?” is a very true statement! Since I had Sprint I lost my signal as soon as we made it outside the city limit and didn’t get it back until we almost made it to Austin. SPRINT was HORRIBLE!!!!! What is the use of being a cell phone carrier when you can’t carry a signal?
