Just because a carrier did it "in the past" doesn't mean they can afford to cater to your wishes every single time you say so. And the plan and phone aren't compatible with one another. Plans change, prices change, because the economy changes. If you can't afford it, there are plenty of other phones tog et.

because that's where I got it. However, that link always gave me trouble having to click "Yes" twice in a pop-up window. After I clicked another link already in there, it straightened it out.

Correction - that will take you to page 110 of Lounge. But you can access the Forums there is my point

As many of the chatters here (because everything else is firewalled) know, things are being adjusted and lots of those chatters are going to become customer service reps very soon. Since it means we won't be able to get on Phonescoop any more, I'd like to say so long and farewell because I'm SO not going to be here while I'm at home. Before I go - anyone left in chat, enjoy Froggers and Space Invaders on www.smashing.com while you still ...

I mean, it would be one thing if they asked for clarification. This customer just didn't get it the first time, so they shut down. :evil:

It's failing BECAUSE people are leaving. And people are bailing out BECAUSE it's failing. It's the same kind of event that caused the stock market to crash. If Sprint wants to stay afloat, it sounds like they have to stop that cycle somehow. Unlimited Everything doesn't appear to be doing it.

it's the "jumping ship" that is causing the problem. The more that leave, the worse the problem gets.

Closely related are: "Well, I'm just gonna go to *carrier*, then!" "I guess I'll be looking at other carriers then." How do you react to this? Does this encourage you to get the sale and to be more lenient with the customer? Or is it the last straw before you hang up/ punt them out of your store? I think that this is the last thing I hear as soon as someone says it -anything else that happens after that sentence ...

One of the side effects of this career is that it's stressful, and not in a way that disappears as soon as you clock out. I love PhoneScoop, and Shop Talk, because I can come here to make light of the situation with other reps to chill out between the worst customers. And I think we can mostly agree that the stories about nice, polite and thoughtful customers are better, but fewer and further between the stories about the ...

It wasn't that much fun to SING, either. Fortunately, I don't remember a single jingle that I learned there. However, I'm still pretty good at spade "flare". ;)

Before I came into this industry, I had the utmost respect for customers. I used to work at a Cold Stone Creamery, and I loved my customers - I can't remember a single irate or rude person standing on the other side of the counter. But since I have been, working for a cell phone company, I have experieneced some of humanity's worst. Why the experience should be so different, I'm sure is dependant on a few points; the ...

What's blocked at your workplace? Here, we get a few; most of them aren't worth a darn. But sometimes it's better than complete boredom. www.surveymonkey.com www.dontdoi tgirl.com www.fartoons.org (although I can't WATCH them, I can load the page :roll: ) There are some other useless ones I won't bother listing. But the gem: www.smashing.com ^ Invaders and Frogger are the only ones that work here, but there is Sonic and some others too.

I usually don't read for other people. Most don't have the depth to appreciate it because they've been led to believe I'm going to tell them something like "You're going to marry a man who lives in a white house" or "don't play the lottery next Thursday". :roll: Most people just assume I'll do it. Like I'm a Pagan vending machine.

I'm putting this here since I want to rant but it's not worth starting a new thread. Customer: I need to upgrade, but I don't have a credit card. Me: You'll need to have a credit card to order, but you can use a friend or family members if you could borrow one, and I'd be happy to help you finish your order up. Customer: I don't have one I can borrow. Me: Then you will need to call 0.000.000.0000 and they can ...

Yes. When you're online chatting, we CAN see what disgusting, rude and juvenile things you've said to the previous rep(s). We WILL hang up on you as soon as possible when we know you're just screwing around. So if you want genuine help, don't mess around with us and then later expect us to help you.
