Aaah. Someone as honest and with such eloquent writing skills, as
yourself, is having problems with a customer service department.

Who'da thunkit.

So just steal someone else's phone and make as many calls as you can until
it's deactivated.

Same thing.

"A lot" lower?  As in $5 lower?  I guess $5 is better than nothing, but
one shouldn't abuse this unless one is actually having dropped calls...
not just to lower a bill by "a lot".  Abuse will ruin this as it has the
referral system.

I thought it was 20 a month for a total of $10 off a month?

I stand corrected it is 20 and I have 2 phones for a total of 40

That makes $20 a month ummmm thats dinner for 2 (almost)!!

As for abuse I think being on hold for over 30 min. and getting a MORON
every time I have to call customer support is abuse!!!

I have found only 2 CSR's that know their stuff. Every time you call you
are gambling and the odds are not in your favor!!!

Last time I called I couldnt find a CSR that knew about ReadyLink.

"Is your phone a ReadyLink phone?"

Duh, a Sanyo 5400/RL2500

I am not cheap lol and she is not my wife (yet)
It is a small Mex. rest. with good prices!!

I feel you pain. I think when SPCS HR director was told to hire the
handicapped, he or she took is as "mentaly handicapped" an you know the
result.

Dinner for two on $20?  I guess, if you're not into those high-falootin'
places, and prefer eatin' at good ol' Mac Donalds.  But then, given the
fact that you're willing to sit around and parrot "droped call" to *2
for half an hour to get your $20, I'm not one bit surprised. :)

Cancel your service then.  I'm sure that given your tenacity, you can
"droped call" that cancellation fee down to nothing if you put your mind
to it. :)

MacDonalds--Yuck
Easy to eat for $20 at great Mexican rest. here also.  But then it's not NYC
prices.
And being the frugal type (isn't that why we all hang out on this usnet
subject),
we can go to Wendys next time, they have a great $1 menu... sour cream and
chive baked potatoes, junior bacon cheeseburger, side salads, and frosties.
YUM!   Oh,
don't let me forget chili, chips and cheese.

Less time than on hold ONE TIME!
Spread out your 20 calls, and really create some dropped calls, like call
your own house and take a trip to the basement.  Its much easier to really
get mad then, seeing a real dropped call.   Call *2 on the way back upstairs
saying, "I'm gunna call Claire now dammit!

Who'd want to get all credits at once.  Spread em out--2 while crapping,
couple while driving,  maybe 3 while ond hold (landline call).  Make some
during the EXTRA boring moments of some Tom Cruise movie (wait aren't they
all boring).

Keep track of credits and maybe only do 15 to 18 first month, and inch your
way to 20 later months cause claire can get mad and put you on restriction
for a month or so.   Claire can get a little fussy sometimes.....      Always
kiss up to her    Don't piss her off.

I was thinking of an add a phone....$20 a month......    why hey with dropped
calls......    Isn't that $10 a month?

Yes real chives at Wendy's!! Go to any steak house like Ruth Chris, Steak
and Ale, Longhorns or Outback and you get "scallions" not chives. The
green part on common onions cut to look like chives. oops this shoud be
in another news group sorry, but it reminds me of SPCS customer support.
The more you pay the less you get.

Once you "max out" on the 20 dropped call credits.. how long is it before
you can get it again? I did it one month and swore that I was getting the
message "you have recently used a number of dropped call credits, please
hold for a Customer Service Representative", so I had to hang up.   but
when do these reset.  I finally had to talk to a CSR and after talking to
her I was able to do it again, so i'm wondering if she reset it.  Now I have
maxed out again but I'm scared that I may have to be reset again.

I think it is 30 days for your que to be automaticly cleared by sprint.

I just got 500 extra min. a month for all my troubles. There are several
levels of customer support. I have found that if you do not get any help
hang up and call again.(gambling for good service) I also found that you
have to ask how long the CSR has worked for SPCS. If they respond with
less than 1 year hang up and call again till you get a non-retarded CSR.

This is the only way I can get any service out of *2.
