U.S. Gov Says Sprint Overcharged for Wiretaps
Uncle Sam is after Sprint!
The other day I read that Sprint owed a couple mil in taxes and now this? They're just in big twouble with the government aren't they?
I wonder if stuff like this will also add on to the list of negatives of a Sprint/T-Mobile merger aside from the reduced competition in the market.
What do you guys think?

Both the New York sales tax case and this case cite violation of False Claims Acts (in the case of the NY case, it's the state law, in this case it's federal law).
I can tell you first hand that when dealing with the government, state or federal, in cases like this, the presumption of innocence is at least strained. It is often more like a presumption of guilt. The New York cases also makes it likely that other governments/agencies are taking notice, either because of a presumption of widespread wrongdoing or because of what I'll call a 'feeding trough' mentality: if someone else is successful litigating X, then I should try too. The clearest example of this is on daytime TV wherein every law firm on the face of the planet seems to so...

I had sprint at that time, they over billed me many times. One month my bill would be $30 more, when you called them they would deny, but they could not justify it. Will never go back to Sprint again.

That's funny I had sprint and they never overbilled me. Was it maybe because you went over your minutes? They have a detailed billing and you could find out how many minutes you went over by.

I had sprint for 11 years, they were fine until year 10, then my bills were always different. I am glad you did not have problems. Then after I cancelled service they said I was under contract yet, but after 3 months and about 10 phone calls, it was over. Never again Sprint.

Sprint was recommended to me by a friend of mine when I suffered bipolar billing from VZW. I could never count on the same bill every month.
In the 7 years I've been with Sprint, I have never been billed for more than I used. In fact, when my Wife was severely injured in an auto accident, Sprint worked with us to make sure we weren't overburdened with bills. We were set up with easy pay billing until we returned to normal income. Would your carrier do this for you?
