Motorola Z6c World Edition

Does anyone know if Sprint is ever going to get this phone?
I like the phone and VZN doesn't work well for me.
Thanks

Sprint switches

When working for Sprint, a few co-workers told me that Sprint doesn't own its own network switches and that VZ/ATT/Qwest pretty much own them all and Sprint pays to use them. Is this true? I havn't been able to confirm this.

Account problems with new handset. Please help!

Hello!

On January 2nd I received my new handset and got it activate. I was told that it'd take 24-48 hours for everything to switch over. Well I've tried to add the $7.00 insurance to cover my new handset twice now. I am on my 3rd attempt and Customer Service is having issues and getting an error.
Also on my account online it is still showing my old handset. Which when I mention that to Customer Service they are clueless and tell me it should have switched to my new handset after 24-48 hours.
If anyone has a clue and can help with this I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

$14,000 Sprint Bill

A Sprint customer tells the Consumerist she just received a bill for $14,000 for just one month of wireless service. According to the user, she signed up for Sprint's $59 unlimited plan, but struggled with getting the data card to work, resulting in her canceling the service before the thirty day trial period expired. The best guess until Sprint gives a response is that the company was accidentally billing her at three cents a kilobyte instead of properly putting her in the unlimited access category (which with Sprint really is unlimited, unlike Verizon Wireless).

30 Return??

Lets say a customer comes into your store and says that they lost their phone and have insurance. They want to call or have called the insurance company to report the phone lost or stolen and need a phone for a couple of days until they get their replacement. Would you sell them a NEW phone for a couple of days, knowing that they would be returning it in a couple of days?

If so, why?? (does this make sence to Sprint as a corporation?)

If not, why?? (Does this make sence to the customer?)

Now, this is my two cents. I would reject the notion that the customer says that they are purchasing a phone for a couple of days, knowing that they WILL be returning it in a couple of days when their replacement phone arrives. I don't think it'...

Customer Care

I just watched Customer care lose three customers for Sprint.

A customer and her Daughter came in to my store today (I work for an inderect Dealer) to inquire about Upgrading the three lines they had and renewing thier two year contract.

After going over thier option as far as plans went I checked thier Upgrade eligiblity in SNAP. It turns out that two of the lines were eligible in October and the third line wasn't due (according to SNAP) until July of 08. The customers told me this should not be the case.

Upon further conversation with the customer the Daughter informed me she swithed her phone to an older phone a friend had because hers quit working.

Knowing that sometimes an esn swap can affect the upgrade eligiblity I had...

KATANA DLX QUESTION

I have a katana DLX and my bluetooth headset is the Plantronics 510: about 80% of the time after I end a phone call while using my headset, the bluetooth connection ends and I have to go back and connect. If I am connected but not on a call then it is fine and nothing will happen. Only after I've ended a call. I'm in my car for most of it and the phone never leaves my lap so it's well within the 30 ft. Is this normal? Do you think it's a phone issue or a bluetooth issue? I've asked a couple friends of mine that work for Sprint and they haven't heard of any issues. Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks

Does anyone else think...

that Verizon pays LG to mess up Sprint Phones??? All of the phones Verizon gets from LG rock of at least don't malfuntion constantly. But Sprint get the 225 the 160 and 260 and they all suck balls.

new phones?

anything new coming out in the next couple weeks? I have an upgrade available now and I'm just trying to find a good phone (non-smartphone that isn't going to be really expensive. the wife doesn't want anything fancy.
I'm thinking the M500 ($30) because she doesn't text (rumor) and she's not up for paying $80 for the DLX The Muziq might be an option, but I don't think she wants anything that complex...

God help me If I bring home a v3m for those wanting to mention that one....

Upgrade Question?

I have a question. I am new to Sprint, just signed a 24 month plan and I received phone at a promotional price. Fine, good, no big deal I promise to stay with Sprint for 2 years.

So 18 months down the road I accidentally break my phone, I don't have the insurance because I personally feel $7 a month + $50 deductible is not reasonable. So I go to the Sprint store and I pay retail or full price for a new phone. Does that cancel my eligibility to get a new discounted phone 6 months down the road? If so, why? Sprint didn't offer me any discounts for the phone. It didn't cost them anything, in fact they probably made some more money off of me?

I'd like to know, so I can return my phone if this is the case. I'm in my 30 day return period.
