Here I am, a month since the last time I wrote. I’d say it was because I was way too busy to sit down and write, but honestly I could have found time I guess. It has been an eventful month.
But, the main reason I write now is to say this:
Sprint is the worst phone company. As soon as I let my contract with them expire, and then I did not renew, I fell out of their favor.
I was a day late on my bill, I got a text message reminding me it was due. I thought this was ridiculous so I waited a couple more days and then they began to call me with an automated phone call to remind me payment was due. I got a total of 4 calls in one day. I paid the bill. Now, mind you, I have had sprint service for almost ten years, the same phone number. Not once when I was on a contract did I get harassed by Sprint. Sometimes I would get busy and be a couple days late paying the bill. (Which they seem to change the due date all the time) but I would never get a text or a phone call to “remind” me.
Also, the cost of my bill went up dramtically when my contract ended. Why? Because the “discounts” I had during my contract where set to expire at the end of the contract. I, however, can’t seem to find that anywhere on any contract. I got the discounts three years ago because I had to get a new phone after my old one took a crap, twice. When I got the new phone Sprint forced me to upgrade my service plan, but I didn’t want a new phone in the first place. So, anyway, I get the new phone, the set me up with the same costs as the old phone (which was only 4 months old when it crapped the second time) and all is well. Contract ends, my bill goes up by twenty plus dollars a month!
I figure this, they have you by the balls when you have a contract, but if you don’t have a contract they miss their grip on your balls and do anything they can to grab them again.
I hate Sprint.
