Does sprint suck?

Hearing things about hidden charges and such.

We've never had anything surprising on our bill....of course, we aren't dumbasses.

This...99% of people who have "billing problems" are doing something stupid.

I'm assuming the charges people are referring are to surcharges (USF can be "up to" 12.9%), Administrative Charges (again "up to" $1.99/mo) amongst other smaller fees/charges. Obviously there's a disclaimer, but I won't lie, I'll be pretty pissed if I sign up for the $70/month plan and get another $15 tacked on, plus taxes and end up around $100/mo when I'm expecting $70/month plus tax.

SD, you have the EVO right? If I go sprint that's the one I would prolly get. I thought there was a thread on your thoughts, but I couldn't find it. Good phone?

yeah, I like it.  We have two EVOs and get the insurance on both phones ($7 per phone iirc) and our bill is $163.  We get a 15% discount for where we work.  So, plan on paying whatever that comes out to for you.

I should get 15% also. You have the "Anything Data 450" plan?

Yeah, I have the low minutes plan.  You have to pay for the big 4g data plan even if you don't live in a 4g area for data so I have whatever that is for the data. 

[jtksu]

I too have the 450 plan and my bill comes out to right around $90 every month.  All sorts of little fees on there but no different than any other company's surcharges, taxes, fees, etc.

Quit paying insurance and get a Squaretrade warranty.   $99 for 2 years and there are ALWAYS codes for discounts.  I have one somewhere for 35% off.

Well since I switched from Verizon to Sprint I get really shitty service now.

I've heard the people that work there suck, confirm or deny?

[pissclams]

this is accurate.  the government regulates what you pay in taxes.  the USF isn't a tax but is managed by the govt like a tax. 

I've heard the people that work there suck, confirm or deny?

this is also accurate



if you're worried about what you spend on your unlimited plan, sprint is your best bet

WHAT!!   

Next time do some research

[Johnny Thunderbone]

Most are actually great people that are forced to put up with piece of crap customers 8 hours a day.  Catch them early in the day before they've had the chance to want to  and you're fine. 

Also, they are trained to tell you everything is your fault and not put in the extra effort unless requested.  My Evo's charging port was loose and would no longer charge.  I took it in and the guy said it wouldn't charge because there was corrosion from water damage around the edges.  He handed me a card and told me to call a number to get a replacement for $50.  I called his bluff, said I saw no corrosion, and requested a tech look at it in back.  I waited up front for 15 minutes and the tech came out with a new Evo; all contacts transferred; SD card transplanted, all pictures, games, etc remained intact.

are you the worlds only sprint customer without free roaming, maybe you need a non-shitty phone

[ew2x4]

Love Sprint. I pay $50/mo for my Evo. My wife is $30/mo. No hidden charges. Only great customer service. And their insurance is retardedly good. I've never paid the deductible for any problems. They just fix it or give me a new phone.

I don't even see how that's possible unless your job gives you a massive discount.

[treysolid]

Outside of a call dropping every once in a while, I've never had a problem with sprint (been a customer for 8 years).   

[Panjandrum]

Hearing things about hidden charges and such.

I get my EVO through work, so I don't see a bill.  But, truthfully, the coverage has gotten a lot better over the years.  I used to have a lot of problems getting signals when I travel for work, but now I rarely have any issues.

And that's why I have the discount and you don't.

I get a discount, just not that discount, but it's supreme douchey to drop the cost only so you can brag about it. Congrats on being that guy, though.

If you could still get the discount, I'd tell you how. Other wise, I'm gonna brag the crap out of it.

[jtksu]

2 people paying $80 isn't that incredible of a discount, considering you can add a line for $10 but don't let me interrupt your douchey behavior.
