Ron - 19 Feb 2008 20:48 GMT Don't wait for the lights to go off at Sprint.
At&t and Verizon have announced $99.99/month unlimited calling plans.

I'd expect to see something similar rolled out nationwide pretty quickly...

Billing errors. Involuntary contract extensions. Local service issues. Phones dying (as happens with over heating 1900 MHZ phones) cause many folks to have to do battle with Sprint PCS.

Don't take of what this guy says as fact. He is known to spawn sock puppets to support his own assertions and to change names frequently to avoid kill files.

We all know sprint CS sucks. However, not all of us spend every waking moment changing our phone service. We use CS to setup initially, and then just use the f.cking phone. Use the web to order replacements every other year. Pay your bill on time and avoid disconnection.
Thomas T. Veldhouse - 20 Feb 2008 16:14 GMT > However, Sprint customer service is notorious for being horrific. It is true, but that puppet's remark, "Phones dying (as happens with over heating 1900 MHZ phones)" is the same crap he has been spewing for years, which is what made it so easy to identify the sock puppet in the first place.

Yeah. THAT is a load of crap. I've never had a 1900 MHz phone die from overheating. Not my Kyocera on Northcoast PCS/Revol, not any of my Sprint PCS 1900 MHz CDMA phones, not any of my T-Mobile 1900 MHz GSM phones either.

The worst thing I've happen with sprint phones has been the quality of samsung sph-i500 phones. One had a bad touch panel. Another a bad microphone. One a cracked case near the antenna. Last one literally wore out after 2 years: the case lost all it's paint due to friction of being carried around in a pocket and then the case finally disintigrated! During all this time, the phone's RF circuitry worked flawlessly. Nobody outside that troll has ever reported sprint phones overheating. It isn't even a good lie.

As I posted to Mr Sobol, I no longer read this group as I once did, but Phillipe/RobertM/Dr Frank is a true Usenet kook, and like all kooks, he can't let go. He demands attention.

Been a long time since you've been around spreading your bullshit in the fertile fields of alt.cellular.sprintpcs.
Oops, sorry, should I have addressed you as Dr. Frank?
Has it really been 3.5 years since you posted the following:

I didn't realize. My UseNet time is limited these days, so I haven't really kept up with the happenings in the group. Doesn't surprise me though, that Dr Frank would continue to sock up and post lies. Like most kooks who post that they are leaving forever, he just can't let go. Masochism, I suppose.

Then you have other reasons to leave Sprint than just the plan pricing it would seem. I've used my Sprint phones in every state east of the Mississippi for both voice and data, with few problems, either on their own network or roaming, so I have no complaints. As far CS goes, I've rarely had a need to call them, and the few times I have were satisfactory, so I have no complaints there either so far. If you've got a few hours, I could tell you about my experiences with AT&T and Unicel though, if you want some horror stories... :-)
