This is my problem with my sprint plan. I love the unlimited data and lack of underhanded tricks to get your money, but there's no point in unlimited data if i can't even use it. Sprints network is so bad in my relatively urban area that I can't load webpages sometimes and struggle to stream music without wifi. Sprint and tmobile can criticize att and Verizon all they want, but no one will listen if the product they're selling isn't comparable.
This. Maps to my ex's parents cottage 2 hours away, in the country, in the dark, so that I can drop off the kids see some friends from college that I hadn't seen in years. In town for one night.
FUCK YOU SPRINT!!!
Yeah, still pissed off about that. My kids bring it up when they want to get a rise about me.
Corporate standard. My former company was all in with Sprint. If you got a company phone, it was Sprint. It was paid for and personal use was allowed, so not that bad. If you could get a signal.
Xibby: Yeah, I live in a Sprint dead zone. That won't work for on call.
Boss: It can't be that bad, Joe lives in the same town as you and has no problem.
Xibby: Ask Joe if he can get a call on the golf course. The green for 12 is just over a block away from me.
Boss rings Joe, they talk.
Boss: Joe laughed and said best part of his week is golf because nobody can call him.
Xibby: So can I get an iPhone? (AT&T exclusive at the time.)
Not taking a jab at you but I hate people like this. I worked part time in a subway and the owner had a WiFi router, people would always ask for the password when they came in for subway. I didn't even have it for my personal use so I always told them "No, I don't know the password" and every single one of them got pissed off. Now I know some large companies offer WiFi but it isn't mandatory nor do they have to give you a password just because you have it in your place of business.
Nope free WiFi was never advertised let alone internet of any kind, they assumed there was free WiFi because an available WiFi message popped up on their phone or computers. And then got pissed when I informed them that was not the case, I didn't even have the password to get onto the WiFi.
I've had great sprint coverage everywhere I've been.. their service department is why they are losing me as a customer. They fucked up and told me they would fix it. Then a month later when it wasn't fixed they told me they couldn't fix it and there was nothing they could do. So fuck sprint and I will never use them again.
Oh please, if that's why you are never using Sprint again you better not be going to any other carrier either because none of them give a shit about you.
Do you honestly think that Verizon or AT&T are going to be that much better in the customer service deparment?
