who is your cell phone provider

[buddha]

Up here in da north woods of Wisconsin we have found Alltel to be the best. We have Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, and maybe a couple more. A signal up here is hard to get on a good day but the bad days seem to be farther apart with Alltel. When we first got on with them we had LG phones and they SUCKED! When we re-upped I insisted on Motorola Razrs. Right off the bat we got cell reception at home and the dead zones that used to go on for miles now only last a couple hundred yards. IMO, for the purpose of wireless commos Mojorola has the best equipment.

I'm stuck with Sprint for another year.

I had Cingular/ATT for 6 years and never had a problem with service or billing. Because of my plan, I screwed up the roll over minutes the last few months.

I signed up with Sprint because of an employee discount, being a supplier of GM. Worst mistake! They managed to include another account with a different phone number, and also put me on a different plan then I signed up for. Tried calling service and got no where. Went back to the store I bought it from and watched as they spent over an hour with service trying to fix it and watched their frustration. Still didn't fix it and I went back. Took two months to fix those problems then other problems every month since. I have a year to go on the contract and cannot wait to get rid of it.

I will probably go back to ATT. Now I have another problem-my son. 207 text messages last month, $41.00. At least he pays me for those, but I will probably go with unlimited text messages. I am afraid to call Sprint to change though, who knows what they will screw up!

Do NOT, under any circumstances, change anything on your plan, because if you do, Sprint will start your contract period all over again for another year.

I was also with Sprint due to an employee discount.  Whenever I had to deal with their customer service reps in person or on the phone, I found them to be extremely incompetent and rude.  I switched to AT&T in January.  There have been some bumps along the road, but all in all, things have been much better.  Get better reception on my phone -- it even works in the elevator at work.

yeah razor these sprint bitches keep calling me saying they are looking out for my phone bill and want to offer me a great deal.....whatever

Sprint has been losing customers right, left and center.  Back in January, they were on a list of companies that were likely to be taken over before year-end.  I'm surprised nothing's happened by now.  When I switched to AT&T it took a while for my number to get ported over because they had to wait for Sprint to release it -- and Sprint had a backlog due to the number of customers who were porting their numbers to other carriers.

not sure i can speak anymore about sprint w/o using language deemed offensive on this board....dont even get me started about comcast....might be good for a drunken rant at sbg convention

[skiking]

I have alltel right now, and plan to stick to it for a while

I have done cost analysis of the two companies in the area, and have found alltel to have the lowest $/min

the only advatage over el other is signal quality when you get ten to fifteen miles out of town, past that they are the same- nil

at least buddha u have leinenkugels...so f the phone companies !!!!!!

Creamy Dark is my favorite.....and it's good for me!

Motorola is getting out of the cell phone business. I have a Moto Q9. I'm going back to the Blackberry this fall.

So yeah, get this, I just got a call from my Bell Canada telling me that there is an outstanding balance from the past 2 months of unpaid bills!!!

They wanted me to pay $130 something.  I couldn't believe it!  So from talking to the rep we figure out that yeah, there was a mixup in the system and that they had received my payments.  So then the rep starts telling me that the bills are more than they should be because I was going over my texting limits of 200.  I was in shock because I had set up the plan for free text/video messaging.  She tells me there is no record of it so I let her know about the ordeal I had 3 months ago, of how I was contacted to upgrade my plan.  The service rep explained everything, but then the sales manager contradicted everything.  I ask why all the contradictions and then the sales manager hangs up on me!  So I call back, raise hell and then get what the original offer was.  So she looks and sees that there is a note in my file about the whole incident, so what she does is goes and gives me the upgraded plan that would be an extra $15 a month but gives me a $15 credit on my bill each month for the duration of my contract.

I was amazed at how polite, professional and courteous she was and asked her, once everything was done, for her name and employee number then I told her how pleased I was with her and requested to talk to her supervisor so that she gets the credit she deserves.  The supervisor was unavailable but I left a message.

All too often people don't get the credit they deserve and I really hope that girl gets acknowledged for her actions with me!

We all hear about horror stories from all the various cellular providers but there ARE good encounters!

We've been with Sprint for over 5 years now. Me, the wife, my grandmother, mom, and step dad are on the family plan or whatever it is. Unlimited text, mobile to mobile and all sortsa stuff. Plus we get an 18% discount on the bill and accessories. Sure they may have screwed up a time or two, but not enough for us to leave.

Yeah...me too, Pig

that's weird, man...Sprint a ben beddi beddi agoot a to mia.

I saw this video about how you never see the CEO of Sprint and Donald Trump together at the same party.   Gives a good case that Sprint and Trump are actually behind the Twin Tower disaster on 911. 

Apparently...and I gotta tell ya, it's compelling....Trump needed them towers down to clear it for his own project.  It's pretty interesting....got me thinking....

How Sprint is involved is on disc #2....HEY MAN...WHO KNOWS.

We had Sprint from 1995 until just after Katrina.  Their service was bad after the storm, but that wasn't why we packed bags.  When my youngest went to Baton Rouge for law school, Sprint just didn't have any service to speak of on the campus so, being the independent minded young lady she is, she switched to Cingular because they had the best reception in that area.  She left her old number behind, and was most excited because she could get the same phone she had in Dublin the previous year when she worked at the Bank of Ireland.  After things settled down from Katrina, I went and waited for about 2 hours to get her number cancelled on our contract (Sprint kept charging!) and they said that her phone was the main phone so we'd have to sign for two years on the two other lines to drop that one.  Dumb and dumber, I went across the street to Verizon and signed up for the "now" two other lines that weren't the main one and removed them from our non-contract arrangement.  I waited one month, then after getting a "clean" bill, I cancelled the Sprint jokers altogether.  Funny thing was the manager at the Sprint store, really nice, admitted that it was a dumb thing for her company to do, but she couldn't do anything.  We've been satisfied w/ Verizon, but now that our two year contract is expired and we're month to month, we get every type of promotion to have us sign up again, new phones, you name it.  We just tell them, and honestly, that the phones we have work great, that we still can't use all the things they can do, and that there is no need to do anything but continue on.  Will they leave us alone, no---every week or two a phone call, a mailing.  Why can't they just let live.
