Sprint PCS are weasels. i will never go with them. My sister was with the for a year and she doesn't know much about tech so i had to step in. She was paying 34.99 for 250 any time i believe. Most normal humans need more than 250 anytime. Her phone was crap too and Sprint PCS always has the most $$ phones. Yeah they're pimp, but there are pimp phones that other companies offer too.
In any case, for the value minded consumer they aren't good.
okay, so i try to get her on Voicestream, my company of choice, and she gets in on that AMAZING Amazon deal. She gets the Motorola V60 phone, new, shipped free, after MIR, one year contract with VS, and 600 anytimes for 40 bucks. But before all this she had to cancel with sprint. They wouldn't let her cancel. The CSR told her, "I can't cancel you." My sister was "Uh.. come again." Mind you, my sister is an assistant D.A. for our county. They messed with the wrong person. Anyways, they told her she will have to drive to the sprint pcs store, there she bitched at them and finally cancelled the contract. She was connected with VS in a matter of minutes and said she called and the VS CSR's were much friendlier.
I can vouch for this. Any time i call VS, i get connected to a CSR under a minute. And they are pleasant people.
Sprint PCS and they're god damn retention policy. Why don't they offer competitive rates to begin with! Hey, now thats a good idea? I mean most companies these days offer SOMETHING to bring people in, VS with their 3000 anytimes and GSM and sim for us international travellers 50 bucks a month, i know Cingular is now going to do the rollover minutes, excellent idea, good value for those that use some months more than others... but Sprint? Those POS dont' do anything. They talk about 3G all day but haven't had it yet. And you really can't get a good phone for free (or cheap) with them, so thats 200 more to spend.
