Sprint Complaints Continued... (Page 14)
739+ reviews added so far. Upset? Call Sprint corporate: 1-800-777-4681I had went to a sprint store in Pershing Blvd in Kenosha Wi To get services Which I did with a 100.00 deposit. The associate Lakota Lichwait activated my phone An I turn my phone in in a trade in. He had ask me if I wanted to use my credit on a case I said No And he processed to do it anyway. Then tells me to give him a rating on the survey. Told me if I didn't like the services I could disconnect the phone and I wouldn't be charge anything. I got the phone The services was horrible I was dropping calls I couldn't get online So I decided to bring it back 12 days later.
Now I'm getting charge restocking fee activation fee and time of services Which was NEVER explain to me. I go in to find out why I'm getting a bill ad where my security deposit went. The first associate That approach came to help us Then Lakota came and pushed the other guy out the way Processed to be rude to me and my mother When we were trying to figure out what's going on. It got to the point where the manager had to come and intervene Cause he was so rude. He completely Lied to me saying I was going to have 4G service Then I find out That there wasn't even 4G services. This man has no reason reason to be in retail. He has no customer services skills at all.
Dear Sprint CEO. I have tried and tried and tried to contact you. As everything else with Sprints world, it is all a promise. Thus, I will have to send the reasons why I am leaving Sprint as a user. I guess you have been busy is even a few of the 456,000 losses in users last quarter would like to discuss reason why they are leaving Sprint. Well, shame on me for trusting Sprint. Now, after spending approximately $2,000 in the last year for service that was: Voice Substandard Texting Substandard Voice Mail Below Substandard, practically unusable (could not understand messages, had to reboot phone multiple times a day for voice mails to show up on the screen, Sprint's idea of "taking care of customers" was to basically offer me their Buy Back program.
Send me your handset back, and we won't charge you the Early Termination Fees. So I have given Sprint $2,000 in a year for a service that was barely usable, PLUS $400.00 to purchase handsets that now they want returned. I was not planning on having to spend $400.00 for two new handsets in one years' time. I'm sorry you had an issue. Keep the old handsets and sell them to see if you can recoup some of the funds in order to purchase new hardware with another carrier.
If Sprint would have at least tried to take care of the customer, I may have said I'd at least keep an open mind and maybe tried them again at a later time/date.
I've been a Sprint customer for about 8 years. Since relocating from Las Cruces, NM to Roswell, NM on mid-eastern side of the state my service has been horrible almost on a daily basis. I have sent an email to Sprint Cust Service days ago and haven't heard a word from them.
Sprint had an informal complaint issued against them last Spring by NM PRC and promised to clear up the poor service problem. It still exists, and I believe will not change. I can rarely access WWW, accuweather, etc. and now and then can send a picture to another Sprint phone.
I have no service in most buildings in this town. Had I been informed that service was poor when I relocated, I would not have kept renewing the contract. I was not informed and after a year or so looked at the coverage map for NM.....it is practically non-existent.
Therefore, I am fed up and want my contract cancelled and no lingering financial obligations attached. I've honored my responsibilities to you; Sprint has failed to do the same for me and other residents of this part of the state of New Mexico.
I entered the Sprint store at 10600 Tamiami Trail N #602, Naples, FL and was immediately treated with disrespect. The manager and store associates were just standing around when I walked in. They acted like I was bothering them. I asked a few simple questions about the phones and plans and was just answered in very short sentences and belittled that I did not know the answers. They were extremely rude and disrespectful to me. I had intended on switching my service to Sprint with 3 new phones for my family. As of now that will never happen and I will make sure that everyone I know does not use Sprint. I left that store feeling belittled and harassed and extremely upset. Something needs to be done with the staff of the Naples, FL store.
I have had issues with my phone resetting for months. I have called numerous times and visited a sprint store in Huber Heights August 8th where a tech told me he replaced my ear piece, took everything apart and put it back together. If it continued to give me problems I was assured they would order me a new one. As a busy father of 3 I work 12 hr thirds so did not apprciate when I called back tonight being asked why I hadnt taken it back since. I had a rep take my info last Wednesday, confirm with me it was on it's way and I even had a phoneway survey about the experience! When the phone didn't arrive Friday.I called and another rep told me it was in transit. Today I am told NONE of this waa documented and made to feel like a liar and an idiot. For an issue as simple as my evo 3d not working as it should I am shocked I was liedto and trwated so rude. I pay nearky $200 a month and we pay for insurance on equationour phones. I expect MUCH better treatment for a company I pay my hard earned money to! I have dwcided to.contact the bbb if this is not resolved as I have in my phone history the times I called AND it should be documented in my sprint bill. Nice try sprint, I can prove I was told a new phone was coming, twice. Even though you claim there is jo call record.
I have met all the requirements for the $50.00 rebate and responded to the denial with a letter dated July 3, 2013. Each and every item listed on the denial card was addressed. The rebate form was completed in the Sprint store by a Sprint employee. There is no reason to deny the rebate incentive. If I am denied the rebate, I will be happy to return the phone after the entire contract is voided. I would like to have this resolved without having to filed complaints with whatever consumer agencies I can find along with the BBB and internet postings.
The Sprint store in Portage, Michigan have made unauthorized changes on my account which include more than one of the individuals under my account. The pin number nor the security question, nor anything was asked to authorize anyone in my account. One of the individuals under my account phone stopped working so they took it to this store and was told it would cost them $100.00 to get a new one as they could not repair it, their contract was not up until December 2013.
The representative went into my account without my authorization, pin , etc and told them there was a upgrade due for another individual on my account whose contract had expired and if they wanted they would use that upgrade for them which gave them a brand new Iphone4 and their contract still ends in December 2013. The individuals upgrade now has a contract which expires 2015 and can't even upgrade if they wanted to because Sprint store used theirs so that the other person did not have to pay a $100 to have theirs replaced.
I have gotten the run around at Sprint its self and the store. I wasn't aware of this issue until a much later date which I called and tried to fix this issue and not getting anywhere with the store or Sprint. What can I do next please, I am frustrated and one of the individuals as stuck with a contract no new phone while the other has the new phone and the same contract. Doing this also was without any permission, authorization, etc.
I have been a Sprint Customer for years and always had great service until about (5) months ago. I have (4) phones on my plan that cost dearly. None of us get service, lose calls all day and we own a company and are losing our customer because of this service.
We have made numerous complaints with Sprint to no avail. They keep saying these have two towers down, which is not my problem and I don't feel like I should have to keep paying for such lousy service. I want out of my contract so I can go and find better service, however; Sprint said I would still have to pay the early out contract fee. I do not feel I should have to pay this as it is not my fault that we have no service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My family switched to Sprint at the end of last year. We ordered 3 of the Samsung Galaxy S2's. Ever since we received the phones we have had problems with them. And not just one of them, all 3! They continuously power off by themselves, the menu button freaks out and pops up and down all the time when you are trying to do something, like send a text message.
dMy husband has spent HOURS, at this point probably days if you add up all of the hours, speaking with Sprint about our problems. Whoever he talks to always says, let me talk to my supervisor and get back to you. I bet only about half of those people have actually called my husband back, most of the time he has to call them again. We have replaced the phones with the same model phone twice! We have asked to be switched to a different model.
After much arguing, and even my husband saying that we are willing to pay for the upgrade, we finally spoke with someone who we thought was going to help us. This was in February. The agent told my husband that because of our continuous problems, he would upgrade us to the s3's, at no cost to us since we should not have to pay because of our problems.
When we got the new phones in the mail, they were S2's again!! My husband has called and called and called and no one is willing to help us. The only option that we are given is getting yet ANOTHER S2. my poor husband has spent so much time arguing with Sprint that are ready to just go to another company. But of course as we all know, we are now under contract and do not have that option. Please someone help me.
I do not want another call from a representative that cannot help us. I want results! If Sprint really cares about their customers as they claim they do, someone higher up should get involved and send us new phones. All I am asking is that we get something comparable to what we have now. I do not think it is fair to ask us to downgrade.
And since we were promised the S3's, I think that Sprint should keep good to their word and send us the S3's. Sprint is a corporation that makes billions of dollars every year off of poor suckers like me, they need to stand up and do what's right!
I canceled my sprint service November 16th 2011. I have just learned that I will be billed for the entire month because I did not cancel my service at the end of the old cycle ( Nov 9th ) If I had canceled my service Nov. 9th then I would have had an early termination fee. Now I expect my service to be canceled effective 11/14/2011 as requested via chat on line. The new charges should be prorated for the few days I took to cancel. The closest billing cycle is the past billing cycle. I will be submitting a formal compliant with the FTC and I'm considering a small claims court.
Our plan with Sprint-to whom we have been loyal customers for a number of years-was to expire in October so we went in to the Sprint store in San Diego to renew our plan and to upgrade our phones. I had received an $80 service credit 'coupon' to be used at the time of renewal so was expecting to be able to use it that at that time. However, when looking more carefully at the "gift" it said it expired in September. WHY would we renew our plan the month before it expired?!? rather than doing it when the time to do it was in October?!? I tried talking to your customer service department and did NOT receive any satisfaction and need a better explanation of the benefits of being loyal Sprint customers for so many years. Is this the way you treat your loyal clients?
I am currently in another state handling a family emergency. The home I am staying in I am not getting services, I have had important phone calls lost due to lack of services. I have called customer service to resolve this issue, seeing that I have been with sprint for approximately 8 years. They were unable to resolve the issue because my services do not quailfy for the signal tower. The reason my account does not qualify is because I do not have multiple lines on my account. My complaint is that because I do not have 4 or more lines on my account I can not receive the service I am needing with out paying out of pocket. I feel this is unfair to those persons that are single and without multiple lines. I am considering taking my services elsewhere if this issue can not be resolved.
Thank you for your help in resolving the issue.
Dear Sprint customer service. I have been a customer with Sprint for nearly a decade and have never had an issue with Sprint until recently. On January 21, 2013, I called customer service to inquire about a family plan. The customer service representative told me that because I have been a longtime customer, I was eligible to receive an upgrade. I enquired about the cost and he told me that it would be $75 a month with a $125 one-time- fee for the initial set-up. I agreed with the terms that the customer service representative expressed to me.
They told me that they were going to send the two phones via UPS and I received them January 23, 2013, two days later. Upon receiving the package, I opened the package and called customer service to activate the phones. At that point, customer service told me that the cost would be $150 as opposed to the $75 a month, communicated to me prior. I expressed to the customer service representative that I could not afford to pay the price of $150 a month. The representative told me to send the phones back and all the contents of the package that was sent to me.
I proceeded with sending all materials back via UPS the following day. I also have a confirmation number: C4287, which indicates that the materials were received by Sprint warehouse on January 31, 2013. When I received my first bill on February 11, 2013, I called customer service immediately upon arriving home from work to find out why my bill had increased so significantly to $266.68. I talked with a customer service representative by the name of Carolyn. I explained my situation to Carolyn and she then transferred me to her supervisor, Kim. I described my situation to her and she transferred me to Account Services, where I spoke to Mr. Olvitti. I explained my situation to him and he told me that it will be taken care of. He told me that adjustments will be made on the statement the following month.
I called again at a later date and spoke to a customer service representative by the name of Lakeshia when I had seen my bill had increased again to 366.29. I was absolutely stunned by the increase. She transferred me to her supervisor after I explained the situation to her and the supervisor, Alex, told me that it would be taken care of. Another month went by and I received my bill and it was in the amount of $543.53. I called customer service straightaway at 7:05 a.m. on April 6, 2013. I spoke with a man named Mr. Addison and explained the situation again.
He then transferred me to Mr. Ernest, the supervisor. I explained my situation to him and he transferred me to a dispute specialist, named Linda. I expressed my frustration and difficulty with the situation and she assured me that it would be taken care of on the next billing cycle. I am writing to you to express my utmost interest in having all matters fully resolved with regards to the situation. I will appreciate whatever can be done to help resolve the matter. I have been a customer for nearly a decade and I am not pleased with the lack of professionalism displayed by Sprint. I expected more from Sprint. The Sprint Corporate Responsibility states, Sprint is committed to the belief that we all share in the responsibility to conduct our businesses in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.
We base this on the premise that a company is much more than the products and services it sells; the effect a company has on the environment, the people and the communities it serves reflects the companyâs dedication to being not only a good business, but to being a good corporate citizen.
My wife and I switched to Sprint in June 2012. We both got the Samsung Conquer phones. In late September my phone quit recognizing any sd cards. I called Sprint with the issue and was very pleased with the service I received. Sprint mailed me a replacement phone and seemed happy to help. Today October 20th my wife's phone had half of the screen freeze up. She had to use phone since hers was unable to call out. After Sprint done the factory reset with no success she was told to take the phone to a Sprint store. After visiting 2 stores she was informed that they couldn't repair her phone for lack of parts. She was told that it could be replaced without a charge. I contacted both Sprint and Samsung about this since the phone is only 4 months old. Samsung said they fix it but she would have to be without a phone for 2 weeks.
I contacted Sprint to see what could be done. I was pretty much told tough luck and pay $100 deductible on insurance or wait 2 weeks. So now I am looking a t a 4 month old phone with Sprint and Samsung's name on it that I.can't use and neither really seems to care. We have 2 kids and need to be able to get in touch with each other. I do not understand how the service be so different from call to call. I can't believe that company's really sale products that they do they do not back. It seems that both Sprint and Samsung think that phones tearing up in 4 months is accepted in todays market. Their are plenty of other carriers that would like to take care of the Customers needs. I guess I will have to get a prepaid phone while trying to get this resolved after weighing the options of is this even worth the trouble.
My service has been beyond poor and this has been going on for quite some time it started in june 2012 till sep or oct 2012 then I was given an air rave then service was a "little" better then I purchased an Iphone 4 in jan or feb, 2013 and then had to give up air rave because it was interfering with iphone I have heard every excuse sprint has to offer and still I continue to receive below poor service but yet I still pay my bill and sprint only deducts $25.00 dollar from my bill when I am not even able to make calls on any of my 5 phones this uncalled for I expect a call back immediately regarding this matter as I have contacted customer service numberless times only to be lied to hung up on kept on hold for ever and never called back and after I have been a loyal customer since 2004 never been late on a payment I think this would be a good story for the news.better business beural, consumer affairs, board of supervisors and my congress man because this is robbery I have rights and I refuse to be treated this way so would hope that a higher level manager or even the ceo would get back to Me so I can explain the situation because I dont think they know how customers are being treated I have friends and family that also have you sprint and they will witness all that is going on thank you and hope to hear from someone asap.
I current have 6 phones on our account. One of the phones, a Tahoe, purposely does not have added internet access. This was because my husband did not want it, just wanted texting and voice. The other 5 phones have access to the internet. Our last billing contained 56.79 for Data Charges on the Tahoe. I called to tell Sprint that this was a mistake. We did NOT access the internet on this phone. They would not reverse the charges, were not able to prove we used them, could not tell us what site we supposedly accessed, and basically it was our word against theirs.
I cannot wait until our contract expires. Frankly, it may be worth it to opt out of our contract and get away from Sprint. Poor customer service and management. I'll make this simple. I have been with Sprint for 12 years. I went to upgrade my phones and signed a new 2-year agreement with them. The rep said my bill would actually stay 'exactly the same'. My bill is now $34 more per month. I was flat-out lied to by a store rep. The customer service group said they were sorry about that, but they can't adjust the bill. 12 years I'm with them and they treat me like this?! They've made my decision for me, I'll need to try my luck with another carrier.
After all, what worse can they do other than lie right to your face, right? They'd rather lose a customer of 12 years than modify my plan to the same level as it was last month? Insanity.
This is the second time I have received subpar service from the employees at the Sprint Store within 3 months. The Sprint store is #1096, located in McKinney, Texas 75070. I went to the Sprint Store at 6:45 pm, Monday, May 6, 2013 hoping to resolve the issue with my phone. Upon entering the store with my toddler, I waited patiently at the designated location. I was not greeted nor was I acknowledged for more than 10-15 minutes. My child was playing with another child in the process. The employees felt that he was too loud and then asked me what was the problem, after not even having greeted me. I advised him the problem was that I had been standing there patiently for more than 1o minutes and no one even acknowledged my presence but was quick to address my child. Having been a long time customer with Sprint for more than 10 years, I feel that this was totally inappropriate and rude.
They all stated that they were busy but that is still not an excuse to ignore a loyal, paying customer with not so even as much as a greeting. Ivan Ruiz was the representative that attended me. I told him I was having a problem with the battery holding a charge. He did not send my phone back to be checked by a technician at all. He simply gave me another battery and said if that didn't work to bring the phone back. I felt very rushed and my problem was not addressed, nor was it resolved. Rather, I have to return and waste more of my personal time in returning to the rude customer service representatives located in Sprint Store #1096, located in McKinney, Texas. The acting manager, Eric Berry, did absolutely nothing to resolve, nor address the issue at hand.
My contract is over in February 2014 and if this is the type of service I will be getting I will be ending my contract. I hope my complaint will be taken seriously as I will be submitting this complaint to the BBB as well as the FCC if my concerns are not addressed in a timely manner. I would greatly appreciate a follow up in regards to this issue at your earliest convenience.
On January 7, 2013, between 12:30pm to 2:30 pm please review the call log. I had the severe displeasure to experience very bad customer services from serveral of your associates. Please be mindful that I have been a Sprint customer for approximately eleven and one half years, and I expect to be treated with dignity, respect and as any loyal customer should be treated.
You had Joshu, hang up the phone on me and all this started because I asked for a little off to upgrading my phone, and none of your associates were helpful at all. This is Joshu, your manager or supervisor who does not know how to speak to people. I find it very difficutlt to understand how you have someone in a supervisory position who has no concern for customers. When asking this person what his reference number was Jose, refused.
After this guy hung up and then spoke to David, who was also rude, no help and very sarcastic. We asked him to transfer to his supervisor and received the exact same treatment, who said he could not help, and he provided his reference number (I119921780), he provided this but refused to give us his name. Now it seems to be that when a long standing customer who pays their bill in a timely manner merely asks to receive a little something for renewing or staying with Sprint, that something should be provided other than just saying "thank you." Your associates all acted in a manner that shows that they do not care about me as a customer, and they either need to be retrained or replaced so that customers do not have this type of problem ever again.
I request to be contacted by someone in upper management to further discuss the details regarding this horrible situation. Customers deserve to be treated as if we are the last and only customer you have so that you can keep me as a customer and to ask that you waive the taxes or give me something to show your appreciation is not too much to request. I am available most days after 3:00 pm, because I do work and cannot speak during working hours.
My husband and I were with Sprint for over five years, around a year ago our service slowly started to decline. Our phones would go from dropping calls to not being able to make calls, to not being able to receive calls in a few short months. Knowing that my phone was due for an upgrade we decided to wait it out and see if that would fix the problem. Not only did it not fix the problem but our service increasingly declined.
The first call to Sprint, they gave us a run around on how they were fixing the problem and would give us a discount then send us a free booster box for the trouble. When the bill came not only did we not receive the discount but we were still waiting on a booster box. It wasn't until or third monthly call that they put in a request for the booster box correctly, not only had the first representative lied to us, but he had put in no request for a booster box or a monthly discount.
We gave the booster box a chance, but were still unable to make calls, and receive calls. Every month we would call to complain about the service and told that we were in the top service range. Not only were the representatives rude but would also lie about what they could do for us.
Finally deciding to switch cell phone carriers we were told by several Sprint Representatives that there would be no cancelation fees. Once again being lied to, we received a bill in the mail for over $600 in cancelation fees.
A frustrating call to Sprint to clear up the confusion, we were told that Sprint is not responsible for holding up their end of the contract by proving us with service, not only that they would not and could not waive the cancelation fees but also that they would send us to collections in less than two weeks. According to the bill, we have three weeks to pay it.
I recently switched my Sprint service from my families plan to my own personal plan. When I switched to my new plan, I purchased an IPhone 5 with the two year agreement. I also purchased a tablet with a two year agreement. This transaction occurred on Friday, November 9th 2012. I was really excited to have both items and was to try the tablet at my residence since I do not have internet at my house.
I was told by the Sprint employees that I would be able to access the internet from my tablet. When I took the tablet home, I could not pull the internet from the tablet. I called the Sprint store and they advised me the Sprint towers were temporarily down and they assurred me they would be back up and running in a few days. On Wednesday November 21st 2012, my tablet was still unable to get the internet through it and I called the Sprint store again.
I asked them if I could return the tablet and they told me as long as I returned the tablet by the close of business Friday November 23rd 2012 I would be able to do so if my tablet was still not working and they advised me again that my tablet should be working shortly due to the tower issue. I returned home early from out of state to return the tablet because I knew I needed to return it by close of business on Friday. When I arrived at the Sprint store (7810 Wormans Mill Road Frederick, MD they told me I could not return the tablet because my 14 day return policy had expired and it was day 15. I had to ask several Sprint employees because everytime I asked somebody they walked away from me to assist another customer who was purchasing phones.
Finally, one of the employees asked me in a very rude way if I had tried to charge the tablet. He took the tablet from me and plugged it in. After doing this, he refused to talk to me and walked to the back of the store. I then spoke to the store manager who told me he could not help me and told me to call Sprint customer service. I called the Sprint customer servce and the gentleman was very friendly and helpful over the phone. He told me he would be able to cancel my agreement if the store would take my tablet as a return. He also expressed to me that third party Sprint stores like the one I was at do not have the same policies as a main Sprint store.
I politely excused myself and asked the store manager if he could return the tablet and expressed to him that Sprint customer service was willing to cancel my agreement if they would return the tablet. This male manager became very angry and aggressive towards me since he was speaking of "personal" matters to a female customer. He stated "Tell them to fuck off, you are not returning that damn tablet". He then stated "Fucking customer service makes it seem easier than it is". He then expressed to me that he thought I was a nice guy but he could not help me after he saw my reaction to his unprofessionalism. I asked another employee for my tablet and I left the store with a tablet that does not work at my residence.
I have always had a great experience with Sprint until I came to this store. Unfortunately I am left with a montly payment on a tablet that has no use to me and I am still very upset with the way I was treated at the store. I have never experienced such unprofessionalism before in my life. This is the first time I have ever filed a complaint but I feel that this needs to be addressed. While I was at the store, I witnessed several other customers leave displeased and agitated because they had an issue with their experience there. I know black Friday is a very busy time for all stores but in no way should customers get treated the way I did. At this point I am weighing my options about cancellling all of my services and my family services if nothing is done about this issue. I hope that this is not the case. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Every few days my service seems to be messing up, when I call sprint about the service they tell me we have to do a service update. I don't have the time or the patience to deal with this every day. Also when I ask for a credit towards my bills the customer service rep tells me that they are only allowed to give me a few dollars off of my monthly bill. After they basically disrespect me I tell them that I am basically paying the same amount if money that somebody else would be paying on a different service provider and receive better service. I ask to speak to the supervisor and the supervisor gives me a credit that is worth the trouble ans annoyiness.
I have 2 iPhones on my account.

All I want is to be released from my contract without having to pay ANY FEES!!!
I have been having a problem with my service since February 2013. I have had dropped calls, texting trouble and very slow internet. I have called Sprint several times and they promised service would get better by the end of July. They stated that they were doing work on their towers on the area. I am still experiencing the same problems but worse. I cannot get good service at my home.
This update absolutely sucks!! I can't get on the internet at all now.. i had troubles before and was told the update would make the phone take 4g only. Now i can't even get 3g!!! I have been with sprint for 7 years! Not only that but my touch screen lags.. even while I'm texting on the phone ot
R typing anything for that matter... its horrible! I'm not a happy customer. I hope this gets fixed asap. I love sprint but i need my phone for work and pleasure... its unacceptable..
I had been a Sprint customer for over 15yrs we were up for an upgrade on our phones so we went to the Sprint store to see about getting smart phones. The customer service rep was not helpful and very rude, not wanting to answer questions or help in any way. So we went to AT&T store and switched over, while at the store my wife called to cancel service and port the numbers over which she was told there would be a early termination fee.. No problem we said.
Well a month later after we recieved our last bill (or so we thought) with the termination fee listed we recieved another monthly bill for one of the lines which after calling Sprint they said we did not cancel? Why would we keep one line and cancel the rest? Needless to say if you have a sprint line and cancel make sure you cover youself or you will have a lot of time wrapped up trying to argue your case.
I recently brought my phone to be repaired at the Sprint store in hurst tx after it flashed and all my info was lost they kept my phone for 2 + hours and did nothing to it to resolve the problem they said I needed to go home get on my computer and fix it myself my complaint is if I knew how to repair it I would not have brought it to them to begin with I told them I don't have a computer at home and didn't know what to do if I did I asked them to do it since they have 5 or 6 computers there they were not using they said ok and brought Google up on one and walked away there were no custumers in the store there were 4 of them standing talking to each other.
I repeatedly asked for help not one of them would help me I say again if I knew how to fix it why would I have even gone there the whole crew in that store needs to be replaced they are useless as custumer service
I cancelled one of my lines and paid cancellation fee plus that months Oct '11 bill. I wanted to swap phones as well due to my Blackberry malfunctioning I couldnt afford another at that time. Customer Service had no knowledge of how to swap it took a week of communicating with customer service. In trying to swap the previous line was never cancelled due to waiting for end of bill cycle which was OCT 19th.
O K hear now both phones were turned off I didnt have a phone I demanded they swap back to my broken Blackberry eventually cancelled service completely they stated we cant cancel line till billing cycle is over.
I eventually switched to cricket; Sprint charged me another month of service when I totally requested service be cancelled. Sprint robbed me out of another month of service when I clearly request my service be cancelled after I previuosly cancelled my extra line. I was with Sprint for two years with everything plan. Now they've stooped to cheating people out an extra month of service when cancelling.
I walk into a Sprint store on Thursday and order a iphone 4 for my daughters birthday on Saturday. Sprint store says no problem we will get it here tomorrow (Friday), we'll call you about 11am. Guess what call I got at 11:30am...that's right they didn't deliver it and there are no deliveries on Saturday. Now they want me to wait until Monday for the phone to come in. The store is taking no responsiblity and when I call Sprint direct they just give me a song and dance about how once the order is placed they can not do anything about it.
They can not even cancel the order knowing that I am willing to go to another further away Sprint store and get the same phone. I have been with Sprint for more years then I care to think, and this is the way they reward loyalty. Sprint phones...love em, Sprint coverage...love it, Sprint customer service...absolutely sucks. And they don't even care.
We have been customers for many years, contract ends next month, we will terminate. In the meantime, I will have to pay next months' bill and I have no phone. I washed my phone on may 3rd, on Monday may6th went sprint store, did not want to extend or buy expensive replacement, so I went back with some old phones in the hopes of having one activated. they did not work, so I decided to buy one, Ron the rep asked for my "pin" number, we have never established one, I had proper ID, my sprint statement, old receipt with blanks for pin and password (never needed it).
He says he could not activate new phone without "pin" number. Account is under my husband's name, says he can come in with ID and his pin. Again, I told him we do not have one, ok he asked a security question, I answered correctly but because the info in the sprint computer was wrong that's it. According to the sprint policies I read it doesn't say in writing that a pin number is crucial for doing business such as replacing damaged phones, etc.. Ron at store #431 here in san Antonio, texas refused to help me simply because we have no pin number.
I was a Sprint customer for over 10 years and recently had to cancel my service due to outages. My husband is a surgical nurse and actually missed a call-in due to tower maintenance that they were doing and have been doing for almost 2 months now without any explanation as to how long it will take to fix. I had to talk to them for 2 hours to finally get someone to tell me the buy-back program would take care of my ETF as it was something I was DEFINITELY not paying due to the fact that I was only cancelling because my husband HAS to have service. I received a confirmation email and she noted that I might even have dollars left to go towards my final bill.
I went into the store, gave them the confirmation and they actually processed it incorrectly. They processed it as a "recycle" and told me that I was all taken care of (bill included) and even had a $90 credit. I confirmed and re-confirmed with her that I had a $0 balance on my account and she said I had to spend the $90 in the store that day or it would go away. I bought 3 iPhone chargers and went on my way. I recently received a final bill for all of the credits and service. Apparently the girl processed incorrectly and the $90 credit could've went towards my ETF. I called customer service and they were downright awful.
I can't believe this company still has any customers. They stated there was nothing they could do since it's been more than 14 days since I "purchased" the chargers (it's been 18, just got the bill today) and I was now responsible for the full balance. I find this alarming for so many ways aside from their ridiculous dealings on the phone in that I've had them wipe complete $185 bills away before and now they can't help me with a credit for their mistake? Also, to charge me ETF when it's been reported several times (even their own employees in my area) that we are having major service issues.
I have lost all respect for this company and hope that enough people read these posts and stay far, far away from them. I know that no company is going to be 100% easy to deal with but this company should be ashamed. To have a customer service team that can literally get on the phone and yell at you and do everything they can to weasel their way out of doing the right thing is beyond horrible. I can't believe I was so loyal for so long. I would rather pay extra every month for my "unlimited data" with any other company than ever deal with them again. I hope they lose enough business they decide to come back and have some dignity in the marketplace by actually serving their customer base.
Beginning July 31, 2013 through August 10, 2013 I received limited service in my area â inability to make calls until I drove out of the area, innumerable dropped calls, no signal AT ALL in house, inability to contact my two children, and much frustration. I no longer use a home phone since Sprint has assured me of the excellent quality of their serviceâ¦.a service that was severely below par for over 10 days, regardless of what Sprintâs usage shows. Sure I used the phone, I just had to make sure I left my home and town and couldn't get through to my children if they were at home and I was out.
During the time of limited service, I had placed two phone calls complaining and was told they were documenting the complaints and Sprint would take care of me after the tower was repaired.
In light of this extremely poor service I requested a 1/3 discount on my upcoming bill for August 2013. I have now been on the phone for over 34:17 minutes and have yet to be transferred to the next level of supervision since billing rep did not have permission to commit to a reduced bill. Now, I am being given a runaround over a request for a credit of about $40.
I was finally transferred to a supervisor who informs me he will have to review the situation before he might be able to do something. Seriously??
I have been a customer for many years and I have to say, that this difficulty for such a small legitimate request is ridiculous. Sprint is fully aware that they provided poor service and that the tower in my area was under repair for OVER A WEEK and should be more fair to its customers and not make them fight for funds they have not earned.
This is horrendous customer service.
I have been a loyal Sprint customer for over two years and have had 3 other lines of my family under my account. I am sorry to say that not all experience working with Sprint has been pleasant. One recent incident at the Sprint store at Santa Monica (12011 Wilshire Blvd) was extremely upsetting and tinted our trust of your company.
Sprint Complaints Department:
In August 2013 when my Sprint contract was due for a renewal, I went in to the above-mentioned store to process the renewal on Sept 1st, 2013. The sales associate on duty, Chamira Harris, told me that if I provided my Triple A membership card, Sprint could not only give me 10% off on all the charges, but would also waive ALL the activation fees on all four existing phone lines we have with Sprint. I then went ahead reactivated my Triple A account for that purpose and had our Sprint contract renewed and phone replaced with Chamira.
When my bill for the period came later in the month, however, I was still deducted $36 for activation fee, and did not receive the promised 10% discount. I went back to the store to ask about this. Chamira in turn asked the store manager Hank Watt and Hank said that having Triple A would not waive activation fee, nor give any discount at all. Admitting it was Chamiraâs mistake to have misinformed us, both Hank and Chamira offered to compensate for our loss by giving me something from the store for the same amount of the activation fee, and promised to do so for ALL of our other phone lines as well when their renewal time comes. On that day, they did honor that for my primary phone line (310-819-6019), and Chamira also said she did put in a note in the computer about the same policy for our other lines at renewals.
Our second line (310-883-3212) was renewed on September 20th, but when I went in to pick up the iphone that just came in the store on Oct 27th, Chamira treated me completely differently: contrary to her sweet and eager attitude previously when trying to get our business, she now turned to be extremely cold and indifferent. She denied what she had promised, and told me that the store could not give us anything to offset its activation fees at all. When confronted, she admitted that it indeed was her that had misinformed us in the beginning and caused all the trouble, but still told us there would be nothing she could do about it. What upset us more was that she was being very rude, trying to tell us off, claiming that even if she had lied and misled us on purpose, there would be nothing we could do, but to pay for all the fees ourselves.
We feel that Chamira Harrisâ unprofessional, dishonest way of handling this matter has not only cost us financial loss (Triple A membership fee, and activation fees), but has ruined our trust for Sprint overall. It felt as if in order to get our business in the beginning, she was tricking us into a deal by empty promises, and turned around not honoring it later on when we had signed contracts and paid for two lines. Her rude attitude certainly set up off further more.
We strongly feel that our loss should be compensated for, and such behavior like Chamiraâs in misrepresenting Sprint and sacrificing the companyâs integrity for short-term business should not go unnoticed and uncorrected by your corporate office. Otherwise, weâd have to regretfully choose to leave Sprint for other carriers, and we reserve the rights to file further complaints to consumer rights agencies if this were not resolved in a reasonable fashion.

This opinions contained in this Sprint customer review titled, "Dishonest Sales Associate Midled Me on a deal but would not make up for mistake" do not reflect the opinions of this website.
I am 72 years old and went to the kiosk at the Countryside Mall to get a new cell phone. Amelio sold me a touch screen phone and instructed me on how to use it. When I got home I was so confused that I couldn't even receive a call and I called 9 people on my contact list accidentially, couldn't find how to turn the speaker on, also couldn't answer a call, among some of many other things. I couldn't function with the phone. Totally user unfriendly, as was the Manager of th kiosk.
I wanted to return it and get my old phone back but was told they recycled it already. I had already disposed of the box and they said there was a $30 charge. I am so very disappoited in Sprint as my son worked as Manager in a Sprint store for a number of years. When I bought the phone, the salesman slid a pink cover and a black cover over to me and said which did I want. I thought it was part of the $79.99 I paid for the phone. It was an additional $24.99. Many of m friends have said derogatory things about Sprint and I always defended you, but NO LONGER WILL I DO THAT.
I'm glad my son doesn't wor for your organization any longer.
I had returned a telephone and was informed to return the non working phone. returned the phone and sprint has turned off my phone over 10 times in once month due to not recieving the non working phone. I do not have the phone and I refuse to pay for something that I dont have.
My daughters phone hasn't been working since early last year! Her phone has been replaced a multiple of times & everything they tell me to do to it, it turns out making it worse! Her phone turns itself on & off, drops calls (incoming & outgoing) and MUCH, MUCH MORE!!!!
Anything you can think of has happened to this phone & I'm sick of it! I waste my time and money going from Sprint location to Sprint location & paying a bill for a phone that half the time doesn't work!! I'm sick of the fact that no one at Sprint has done anything to compensate me for my troubles!
I would like a new, reliable phone & money from my gas & etc.
I am extremely upset with Sprint and the services that have been provided. I purchased a brand new Iphone5 from Sprint online. Since 2/23/2013 I have been without service, not being able to receive or make phone call and text. My phone is my business, I am on the road taking care of business. I have no phone to accommodate me. I am still within my 30 days to change companies and I am highly considering doing this. Not having service for 5 days is unacceptable and is causing me to lose out on money. I pay Sprint on time every month for a service I can not use. Customer service had been giving me the run around since day one. I have asked to speak with supervisors and my request were not met. I have been hung up on and given attitude from a Sprint representative. I plan on going to social media to promote the awful service I have received. As I type I have no service due to a technical issue on Sprint end. I need someone with authority, power and knowledge to resolve my problem asap.
From the first day of my business association with Sprint, I have encountered incompetence to a degree I never knew existed. We were lied to about the financing arrangements, lied to about the lack of contract, and the worst part is that every single Sprint representative tells us different things. Naturally there's more. We are moving to an area where the only coverage would be "off-network roaming", and this, in an area of forests and hills. Despite the fact they have no real coverage, and NO ONE in the area uses Sprint. Regardless, Sprint refuses to eradicate the $200 "termination fee". I know, no logic is required. (And several Sprint representatives have admitted as much.) Now we have been told repeatedly that we have a contract on a phone that we were assured, time and again when we opened the account, we wouldn't have a contract with. Lies, deceit, obfuscation, games. But then, to some degree, that's how many corporations work.
I have been charged for over a year for a product I never asked for with Sprint. I'm being told a supervisor will contact me and my case is under investigation. Never have been contacted! Sprint keeps harassing me to pay $ I do not owe, and has turned off my service! More than once, then it's turned on again for a while with NO resolution! It's off again with no communication, except a electronic message saying my service will be turned off if I don't pay, that I don't owe!
I have been a Sprint customer since 1998. I moved and had a coverage problem that they could not fix. I canceled both phone lines and paid all the early termination fees. Not one person from Sprint has called or e-mailed to find out why I dropped them after so many years. Hell of a way to run a company with no customer service.
I have called Sprint 5 times to try and cancel my account. Each time they tell me this time it will be cancelled and then I receive another bill. Today I received a letter from a collection agency stating I owed monthly for 4 months of billing past my original cancellation call. I was disconnected twice when I called today. I also tried to find somewhere on their website where I could give feedback and there is not any easy way to do so.
I received a bill for early termination when I switched carriers. On December of 2013 I visited a Sprint outlet (Costco) with a service complaint that service was not consistent where we were living and that it was equally bad on both phones we were using. I was told the new Samsung galaxy would eliminate the problem and that it was free to upgrade. I did that and signed everything so they would activate the Phone. I was told that I had 14 days to return.
The first bill arrived and was completely different from the initial quote as well as the service had not improved that I went to return the phone. Costco of course said they would not take it back but called the factory store and they agreed to take it back. I returned the phone and they reinstated the original contract and"cancelled the new contract". I continued on the old plan until I had enough and install as land line. I then went to the Sprint store and was informed there was nothing they could do but there was no problem switching and porting over the numbers.
All was fine until the final bill from Sprint had early termination charges on both phones. I called and they stated that the contract was valid but would offer 150 dollars as compensation. i then received the (turn you over to collection letter) and called again. I was told the same thing as before including the 150 dollar compensation. I decided to go to the store and find out if the rep had made the commitment to me was still there, he wasn't. They did find the transaction returning the phone but no mention of any contact although the bill showed the old contract charges. I feel the termination fee is not justified on both phones but will concede the second line was 2 weeks short of 2 years,
The whole experience with Sprint started out very good but on 2 occasions trying to improve the service and function turned into a disaster. I feel being threatened and unable to receive any flexibility even though i was told what happen would not happen is very sad.
I am writing this letter with an open mind and humble heart. I have had the worst experience with Sprint ever. This company is terrible, and very unprofessional. My service was horrible and I was never accommodated for this. On top of all that, they canceled my service and charged me all these fees. Now I am with a collection agency that I am in the process of paying off so that I can get out from under sprint for ever. I am going to report this company to the better business bureau.
I have been a customer of Sprint for 14 years and have 5 active lines on said account. I pay for insurance and pay extra for each phone every month because they are newer phones, that's stinks. I have unlimited everything phone, text and data. in the 14 years with Sprint I have seen advancements but I have also seen the lack of administrative requirement of company and employee accountability. I pay hard earned money for services and have to question why? Why can't I get insurance for my phone from my choice of insurers instead of being forced to have whatever insurance Sprint corporation is supporting. This monopolistic tactic should be as illegal as a car company telling you that you must have their company supported insurance instead of being able to choose your own. Also why do we pay a $200 deductible Every Time something happens to our phone? That is why I have insurance; my phone cost $600 that means the insurance is charging me one third the cost of my phone Each Time something is fixed, that is besides the $125 I pay per year per phone for that insurance. Can you imagine your car insurance charging you one third the cost of your car each time something is fixed. I want to choose my own insurance not have someone or some company choose it for me.
On Wednesday January 14th, I connected Sprint to inquire about the Hotspot Option for my iPhone5C. I orginally spoke with a customer service agent...who then transferred me to a a gentleman "that could help me" (I'm thinking technical support). I was told there was a special where I could get 1G for free, 2G for $20/month or 6G for $60/month. He had an indepth conversation and he explained which would work best for what I wanted to do. I decided to get the 1G for free, and will upgrade later if needed. The gentleman went forward attempting to add the HotSpot feature to my phone. I was on the call for about 15 mins, because he was receiving an error message while trying to install the featuer. The call was somehow dropped and didn't get a call back. I called Sprint to inquire about the HotSpot feature because it was not added onto my phone.The customer service representative and supervisor told me there wasn't such an option as the 1G for free. I explained in detail as to the conversation I had with the gentleman.I requested to be transferred to technical support, because I thought that was the department which began the process of the HotSpot installation, but the agent refused to transfer me. When asked if they would review my account and see who I spoke with, conveintantly, the conversation from Wednesday wasn't logged (or so I was told). This is the same type of poor service I received in the pass, when I changed service providers. All I am asking, is that I be given what I agreed to, and nothing more. After speaking with the gentleman on Wednesday, disconnected my home internet service, expecting to have my HotSpot installed. This situation has inconvienced my majorily.
Back in October 2014 there was a special advertised on tv for the iPhone 6, unlimited talk, text and data for $50monthly. This caught my attention so I call somewhere around October 23, 2014. The representative (I don't remember her name, But sure its on file) talk with me about the plan, advising me that the plan is available for me, however I would have to pay $150 dollar deposit and pay $24.99 monthly for two years. I was not acceptable to the plan so she offer another plan for a free iPhone 5c at $60 dollars monthly with unlimited talk, text and data and a 2 year contract alone with the home line of $19.99 monthly and taxes equaling around $95 dollars. She also mention of the free iPod they was running and the router to hook up for service on my laptop. I accepted the plan on those condition. She went on to say that the shipping of the phones and fees will be waved and my first month bill will be a little more (month and a half due to the billing cycle). Again I agreed to this and was please, UNTIL I Received a email of my bill. Now everything drops on me, I called and was told totally different information and given the run around to store location (no positive help). The rep advise me the plan I'm on is the $60 dollar plan, $30.00 for unlimited data and $19.99 for home plus tax and a two year contract, I proceeded to explain what plan I was offered(which was mislead information) and was will to keep the plan in exchange of removing the home line in place of the iPod and or router. The rep said I could not change the plan because it's after 14day (well I wasn't even told that) and nothing they can do but cancel the plan and I pay the cancellation fee $550.00 dollars. I live from pay check to pay check and on a tight budget and only is asking for assistance that suits me. This is very unfair and NOT professional that sprint would do this. Please provide a feedback I will not stop until something is done.
Was contacted in August of 2014 about a free upgrade and a free tablet. Told the representative I was unemployed and could not afford any changes in my plan and was given the reply "this is a free upgrade mam" I received my new phone ( which I found out by going to a verizon store was 5 years old) and free tablet in the mail with the return envelope for my "buy back" and to be given a credit of 300 dollars. in order to activate these new free products I had to call Sprint. In doing so, I waited 20 min. for a rep. Then he began to talk to me about kigs and things I do not understand. Again I explained, I am unemployed and can not afford any changes to my plan. He then told me this would only be an increase of 10 dollars a month more than my current payment. I agreed, and then received a bill for $278.00. All my bills for the last 12 years has not been more than $75.00. So I called Sprint 12 times and spoke to 5 different people to get my old service returned to me. I received threats on my phone that my service would be disconnected if payments were not received. On December 5th 2014 I got my old plan back after being billed all these months and I now have a free tablet with no service. So I ask Sprint, what is free and what do you consider loyalty to your long term customers.
We have been with Sprint for years if you see all your notes on my account, I have called continuously prior to my contract breakage. I had called to see why we had no service in my home, they said they are working on towers. That's all we kept getting is the run around, I spoke with managers, whom stated they would send a tech to check our home and issue a Turbo to get better service, that never happened. I am a police officer and in need of my phone. Sprint left me no choice but to break my contract. We called after we received our bill, my wife's phone was out of contract as per your personal we spoke to other phone the same we did not have a contract. My phone was the only one left. When we called they rep stated it was a high balance due to the phone, Sprint was charging me for my phone, I told her we would gladly send it back, she stated she would send the package for the phones to be returned. We never saw an envelope, we have called several times after that for months I have been calling as I feel this balance is not correct! I have had the worse service from Sprint and just excuse after excuse! I want to clear this up ASAP!!! If I can get anyone to call me, so we may resolve this.
Thank you
Luis
Today I received in my mail, a faux handwritten Thank You, for my 10 years of service with Sprint. This 10 year acknowledgement contained no discount notices, deals, nothing. What a pathetic PR move. I currently pay approx. $70 per month for a flip phone with no Text Ability, Web. Now I see your Family Plan charges $25 for all this? Ready to go to T-Mobile. I don’t think they send fake handwritten thank you notes. You’ll have to do way better for my 10 years. You have my contact info.

I called sprint about our phone not charging, was told I will have to take it to a service center.
we went to the service center “a 60 mile ride” told them what was wrong I was asked if I had insurance on phone told them no. the manager said come back in 1-2 hours and the phone would be fixed. when we got back to the store the phone was not fixed he said it would be a $75.00 charge since I didn’t have insurance or I could send it to Samsung under warranty. but I would be without a phone for 4-6 weeks, I bought the phone from sprint they should take care of the phone or at least give me a loaner.
Sprint gave us a tablet and wi-fi,saying first 30 days were free. We got charged and had them shut it off and cancelled. After it was sent back, they charged us agIn!! Tbey refuse to remove the second charge. We didn’t want them to start with but tried them anyway. So we paid for first month but keep getting charged for something we don’t even have. Someone needs to fix this before they get sued!!!
Hello. I visited the Towson location of sprint a week ago because my phone was not working. The sales person didn’t have one in stock so they ordered me a new phone and I went in today to pick it up. I was assured last week that all information in my phone ie: phone contacts, text, email addresses, photo’s, video’s etc. would be transferred to the new phone. I just stormed out of the store because the sales person wiped out absolutely everything in my phone. I want this to be looked into now. Please contact me immediately at my phone number to discuss this. My phone number is: 443-982-3579 The above email address is my girlfriends email address.
I had an issue with the ear piece recently. After going to the Apple Ave. store 3 times so they could “fix” it they finally said the would order me a new phone. I specifically asked if it was going to be a new phone because I didn’t want a refubished one ( someone else’s junk). Marcus and the tech (I can’t remember his name right now but it wasn’t Joe) assured me more than once that it would be a new phone.
I got the phone had an issue with it the second week I had it. I was a little upset about that because it was a “new” phone.
Then yesterday I get a call about a family member that is real sick and in the hospital so I sent a text about it to my 3 kids. My daughter said Mom who’s number is coming up with all of your texts? It’s not yours. I wasn’t thinking straight because of my family member and mistook the number for another family member’s. I called the number thinking I would get my family member but it was some total stranger that wasn’t very happy with me having his phone number and therefore VERY rude. I made this call from my home phone and since he has called my home at least twice. Turns out your employees lied to me and this is a refurbished phone and that number was programmed in settings to come up with all the texts.
So, Vergie Jackson is a customer of yours and is very upset with me. Thing is, he has my home phone number and it is not hard to get an address with that information. This all could have been avoided if I wasn’t lied to and given a new phone or at least if you are going to cover up refurbished ones to be sure to delete all of the previous information before sneaking it to another customer! I am very, very upset over all of this and will be changing providers when my contract is up. I’d like to change it today but I guess I have to fulfill my contract but I will be spreading the word about how I was scammed and the trouble it has caused me. I am on Devin Vega’s account if you need that information.
Have feedback for Sprint?
Thanks for your feedback!
Sorry. Please try again later!
