If a customer refuses to give us their SSN or doesn't have any credit wombough, the deposit is $150 with an ASL of $150. Even if a customer refuses to disclose their SSN, we do have ways of still pulling their credit score. NooB1Kenobi himself said he's credit was tanked because of his exwife so I'm almost 100% certain he'll come back with either $150 or $250. If NooB1Kenobi has a WO with us, not only will he have to pay off the WO balance, he will automatically come back with a deposit which is usually $250 depend on the WO amount. I just hope Sprint gets tighter on the credit criteria so subprime customers will reconsider chosing Sprint for their wireless services. Subprimes can't be relied upon for paying they accounts on time or at all ...

the all zero ssn doesn't help.

I do agree with you on Sprint tightening their credit, but there's too many exploits.

I hate the fact that we can do this. Honestly, if they don't have a social, I don't mind, but I hate the idea that we are giving people a free ride on their past WO's. How does that help the company as a whole?

BION, We do have a way of catching the majority of the people who try using all 1's or 0's for their SSN by things like name Name & DOB, name & current and previous addresses as well as a few other combinations. Sadly a few will slip through the cracks. Don't worry, Sprint is tightening the noose on ASL aka subprimers.

Hey check out www.unlimited-prepaid.com! They offer unlimted anytime minutes and unlimited text on PREPAID for $99 dollars a month. It's a little more that metro pcs or cricket but it's nationwide, you get a local number no matter where you live and anyone can use it anywhere in the country.

ANOTHER sprint MVNO selling refurbished phones for way too much.

$100 bucks a month for prepaid unlimited. That's a deal where I come from. Really sprint themselves need to off their butts and offer the service themselves

Hey check out what I said about why I want to switch to Sprint.

1. My Girlfriend is switching to Sprint cause Sprint phones( including the ones Verizon has in their own network) get's better reception than Verizon phones get in her College.
I find that hard to believe but I guess it's true.

2. Those SERO plans look down right sexy.

So reason for wanting to switch is obvious.
1. Saving her minutes and my minutes by being with the same carrier.
2. SERO plans are the best.

not paying your credit card bill doesnt effect your credit score. It only will if it actually gets a collection account opened on it, which I've never heard of happening, but I assume it could.

Are you kidding me not paying your credit card bill doesn't affect your score? It only accounts for 35% of your score!! Do you mean not paying your sprint bill? Then yes your right until it goes to collections and they report it or sprint does as they have been known to do!

ha ha paying your Sprint bill doesnt build credit? I thought it did...

Sprint does not report on time payment of account to any of the credit bureaus. We do report deliquencies and WOs though.

correct so paying your sprint bill onetime only builds credit with one company and that is sprint!

If you are talking to me then learn to read and take comprehension classes before being a jerk.

I left Sprint years ago when they were way over priced compared to another provider.
When I left I had no outstanding balance and paid all my bills on time. So go take your obsession with WO's else where.
All you are doing is running your mouth about something you have no clue about.
In order for ones as to be cut off they first must have service. Common sense tells you that.
Also I've had Sprint run a credit check with all my info and I am able to have up to 3 lines with no deposit. (If you read anything I said you'd know that)
May God work miracles for you.

I read your previous thread responses. I have also had people who claimed to never had Sprint or Nextel service mysteriously pop up with WO account which turned out they signed up service for a relative/friend/bed buddy years ago. I've also seen where people who had WOs slip through one of our billing systems but not the other. I hope for your sake you don't screw Sprint over because if you do, I hope they put your balls in a vice and squeeze them until your eyes pop out of your head. 😎

As stated before I left Sprint on good terms. Paid all my bills on time like a good lil lad and didn't screw them.
If I were you I'd seriously take some anger management classes and go to church.

🤣 Just got back from church. It is good to see a former lamb returning to the fold as they are so many wolves in sheep skins out there that have hurt our flock.

Well my first phone for Sprint was back in 1998. It was some fat Sony phone. Then I had a Sanyo phone which was the best Sprint phone I had of the 4. My mom had used my Sanyo for a few years up until the battery started to show some decrease in use time within the last few months she used it. Then I got the Motorola StarTAC as my next to last phone that I had until I left sprint ( I found that phone and turned it on and to my surprise years later it still had juice.) Then the phone after was a Samsung with the flip that covered the keypad.

Then there was my short yet still to long miserable time with T-Mobile. I had 2 different samsung phones with them. Best thing I could say about GSM is the battery life. Sure couldn't get a signal in m...

Muziq is a great phone. Second gen. so kinks are mostly taken care of, plus the fm transmitter is just too cool. If you're looking for a Sanyo, M1 is the way to go (unless S1 comes out). I like mine a lot. Hope this helps!

I think the Sanyo S1 is some rumor. I haven't seen no pictures or specs on it. I'd like to see something on it. like size, features, battery life, color, even some pics of it.

i heard it is going to be a entry level phone. That is it!

Go to sprintusers.com, look for rOfl, and ask him to send you a picture of the S1. He had it posted, but was asked to taken off in the forum. rOfl always has the phone picture leak and info.

I only have one thing to say. Sprint was cheaper years ago. They gave you free internet on most plans and it included unlimited text messages. SO I am not sure what you are talking about for that part. The other part who really cares anymore!

Well at the time early 2000's way back in the day. I left them for T-Mobile somewhere in the time frame of them becoming T-Mobile. Due to the fact T-Mobile was cheaper and had earlier night hours. I would have to dig in my file but I want to say it was around $7-$10 cheaper. That and the phones Sprint had at the time were just hidous. But I would say I was with Sprint for 4 years. Then with T-Mobile for 2 years or so. Now I've been with Verizon for almost 2 years. Now I'll be going back to Sprint when my Fiance switches to Sprint.
(I still don't buy the crap about Sprint users get a signal in the college than Verizon users even if they have the same phone).

(I still don't buy the crap about Sprint users get a signal in the college than Verizon users even if they have the same phone).

WHAT????

And yes I am talking about early 2000. And sorry 7 to 10 a month is not worth me to switch a carrier. Maybe 20 to 30 yes. 10 or under no. And as I say you get what you pay for! Well I say it someone else made it up but its so true!

The original creditor keeps the write off. The collection agency takes the debt so when they collect they get paid. This is general as some do it different. However only the original creditor can basically legally harass you. So that is why most keep it in house anymore!

I guess I don't know what brought up the WO stuff and who it's directed to.
I must have missed someone's post.

The way you get defensive about it I would say you owe them money! I think in every post I read you have some comment about you don't owe them! Who are you trying to convince. The only one that matters is you!

Well I'm not the one that started the BS that I owe them money. Someone kept bringing it up saying I do...... Maybe they are the ones that do.
