| datruthman's Full Review: Sprint Mobile Phone Service in New York |
** Something IMPORTANT I forgot when I first wrote this piece. About a month or so ago on Fox TV in NY they did a segment on cellular phone comapanies that overcharge you. The three companies tested where Verizon, AT& T and Sprint. Sprint and Verizon where found to overcharge by charging customers while there cell phones rang. THat means if you let the phone ring for 5 seconds , you got charged for an extra minute. Now multiply that by how many times you use your cell phone in a month and that adds up!!! Only AT&T was found to charge once you turn on your phone(no extra charges by them) **
Sprint is a company that I'll never join, like MCI, because both companies bombard you with calls to join their phone service. Both companies who are well known fore a practice called 'slamming' of which I've been a victim of. 'Slamming' is when your phone service gets switched without your permission. Sprint has done this to me twice!!! I don't care how good the service is at all. If you can't be trusted then I don't want anything to do with you (Sprint). Stop with the annoying phone calls to join, like MCI does. Just stop period!! Why can AT&T be so successful without harassing anyone to join with telemarketing calls?!!?! IF you need a service go with AT&T(unless you know one thats honest). Sprint owns Earthlink internet service too. Check out the Earthlink webpage. They say how they don't sell your personal info to companies like other internet providers do. BUT THEY DON't have too!! They are joined at the hip with one of the most annoying, corrupt companies in practice, SPRINT!!! Something IMPORTANT I forgot when I first wrote this piece. About a month or so ago on Fox TV in NY they did a segment on cellular phone comapanies that overcharge you. The three companies
