Sprint Customer Reps are A-Holes

I woke up to a text message this morning telling me that my service has been turned off...to restore service. So now I more than vex because I know that my bill isn't due until the 30th of each month and I'm not over my spending limit.

So I call up sprint and they give me the run around.One rep tells me that I have another phone line and I didn't pay the $125 that I was suppose to. Another rep tells me that I have a transfer of liability on my account. I asked her what does that mean and she said that she couldn't even get into my account because it has been transferred over from a personal to a business account.

So now I raging mad @ 8:40am. She transferred me over to the business department and as soon as the rep pulled up my account she said " how could they do this?". I asked her what happened and she told me that the rep that applied my discount last night(because I'm a city worker I get a monthly discount) didn't waive the $125. So they added it on to my account and that put me over my spending limit. The rep fixed the problem right away and my service has been restored.

I still vex. Sprint has me on my bad side so early in the morning.

Sprint Customer Representatives need to get their act together because it's them who does give Sprint a bad name.

Customer Service without Claire - Bumped to front of line (also known as the Red Phones)
1-800-658-7564 (Retention Department, also can handle most customer service issues)
1-866-306-7056

I suggest you call this number and complain, be assertive, yet polite and tell them this is very unprofessional. I called this number last yr and now I'm locked into a special plan for life
Oh, and also add in that you are so fed up, that you are strongly considering switching to t-mobile or verizon...see how fast they start offering things. The best is : at this point, I don't care if I have to pay $150.00 to get out the contract, the customer service is at its all time low....don't say I never helped u out

There should've never been a problem. The first rep should've did her job right.

[b]Don't you think if they didn't make as many mistakes as they did and still gave that great service as you said sprint wouldn't have such a bad rep.
