Sprint Lies

About 1 week ago, i was having problems with my BILL again, because sprint always charge me 75 for internet when i have the simply everything plan idiots. so i asked about the Instinct, and the REP said that you can order the instinct for 250 WITHOUT a upgrade and MIR till july 20th because they are trying to sell them? why did he say this? and he said they will do it at the store, so then i called the store and they said no you have to have a upgrade. WHY DID HE TELL ME THIS? WHY DO U LIE TO CUSTOMERS? thats rediculous BS!

No, an uninformed rep lied to you, and now you're going out of your way to complain about instead of doing what everyone should be doing which is logging rep IDs whenever they speak to someone regarding an account issue. Especially if you've had issues with them before.

I love how many people bitch about this or that customer service rep, but they never do anything about it, other than make themselves look ignorant on a messageboard. It's your own fault you didn't write down his rep ID and complain. Hell, he accessed your account, his ID is stamped on your account - call up and complain!

Even worse is the fact that people think that when they have an experience like this that one bad rep equals the modus operandi of the entire company.

i know. lol i hate when i hear ppl say, "I spoke to John and he promised me a credit" lol suuuuuure just cuz Johnny boy said that we'll go ahead and do it! ๐Ÿ™‚
NOPE! "complaining" doesnt do anything, were all human. if someone called you complaining and CRYING about their problem would you care? you would if they calm, but if cause drama on the phone it gets a little rediculous. just my opinion.

LOL! I don't normally tell folks this but I was a Customer Care rep for Sprint in 04. I heard that one a lot. I would ask the customer "if Johnny promised you a credit then why didn't he go ahead and give it to you???" The customer would get upset and demand a supervisor and I would have the phone on mute laughing because I made them feel stupid. Ha Ha! ๐Ÿคฃ It was usually the customers with ASLs that gave me the most trouble. They always wanted something for nothing...pathetic. ๐Ÿ™„ Nothing in life is free.

Yes. How silly to think that a company who has the worst customer service rating in the industry should be judged by this ONE little incident. I'm sure that JD Powers must be getting it's info from one customer who had an isolated incidnet with Sprint.

What a statement! You have Sprint customers leaving in droves becasue of the poorest CS in the business but it's a stretch to think that this ISN'T the modus operandi of Sprint. That's some strong Kool Aid your drinkin....

Seriously, the deinial is why it's not getting fixed. You can't fi...

My point was that if you want to quote JD Powers, don't leave out the part that doesn't fit in with your argument. Personally, I could care less what they think. You pointed out yourself their ratings haven't hurt AT&T's business any-so what does that say about their credibility? The issue here isn't Sprint: it's about folks who abuse these forums by filling them full of crapola that has no purpose other than to hate on a particular carrier.

I don't really care what JD Powers says either. I did not leave Sprint because of a JD Powers report. Nor do I believe that the millions of customers who have and continue to leave do so because of JD Powers. I'll bet only the smallest of a fraction of Sprint customers even know what JD Powers is let alone know that they continually rate Sprint at the bottom of the barrel in CS.

MY point is that regardless of what any publication writes, Sprint has the HIGHEST churn rate in the industry. And it's not because of the negative remarks in this or any other forum or magazine. It's mostly due to the overwhelmingly negative experiences that customers are having with Sprints CS. The second biggest complaint seems to be the network coverage.

If you don't care, then why mention them at all? You mentioned them to make a point; otherwise, you meant nothing because you said nothing.

Okay slow your roll there ...Sprint is extremely aware that there our Customer Service issues, mainly with the Phillapenes call centers. But what you need to look at is how many people we have kept and have gotten in just with our Instinct phone, and unlike
AT T we provide the same TEP for 7.00 month even on that phone, Why is it that Sprint can insure every device regardless of technology and or capabilities, but AT T won't insure the IPHONE you have to go through APPLE..huh?? And there is even an article saying that The HTC Touch Diamond is better the 3G iphone. I here every complaint imaginable every day. But its getting to be alot less than before. Look back to sprint 3 months from now. Sprint whether you realize it or is listening to ...

๐Ÿคจ someone should really call the idiot in billing that manually inputs internet charges on customers bills...

PLEASE GO INTO A COMPANY OWNED STORE AND SPEAK WITH SOMEONE ABOUT FIXING THE ERROR ON YOUR BILL, INSTEAD OF CALLING EVERY MONTH AND ARGUING WITH THE CUSTOMER CARE REPS ABOUT CHARGES ON YOUR BILL.

from the sounds of your error, even after your plan is coded correctly you will see one more month of incorrect data charges because overages are a month behind in the billing process.

sorry for your inconvienience ๐Ÿ™‚

The problem is, aren't you supposed to be able to get this fixed by calling CS? Sprint customers are forced to burn gas and time going into a corp store to get their problems resolved instead of a free call? ๐Ÿ™„

Come on Sprint. This is why people are dumping you.

Thats why you shouldn't upgrade over the phone. Reps will tell you anything to make a sell. The only thing I call customer service for is to change plans or speak with tech support if its an issue I know that can be fixed over the phone. Everything else...go to a CORPORATE Sprint store. Btw Sprint isn't the only carrier that have reps that will lie...all carriers have telephone reps that will lie just to make a sell.
