Sprint has joined the ranks of cell phone providers whose former (and current) sales reps are beating down the Consumerist's door, eager to tell all. Let us move without delay to the confessions of a former Sprint sales rep:

ӢGet the Sprint Employee Referral Offer: "Get on the SERO plan! Sprint Employee Referral Offer. It's a nice little plan designed specifically for friends and family of Sprint employees. They require that you have an email address of a Sprint employee, but that's simple to get. Remember that business card the sales rep gave you, or should have given you if they're...

Are any of my treo 700p awaiting the new Palm 755p(Sherlock) 5/14? Is any one going to rush to the sprint store to drop another 600bucks on the same phone only without the antenna??? am i getting this wrong? Is there more to it..? or is palm really that dead?

I've been reading some posts in this sprint forum and I just wanted to say RAYCARROL is a douchebag really dude get a life other than trying to keep sprint's "CONFIDENTIAL" information. If people are gonna let it out they're gonna let it out theres not thing you can do about it.

is there a way to make my own call tones?

If Sprint is not able to buy or merge with Alltell is there any possibility that they could merge or buy out US Cellular or another smaller company. In Chicago Sprint and US Cellular a very good as far as call quality but I am not sure about any other states. I was just curious if this would help sprint in any way.

Anybody have any info on this phone?

Ok this is somewhat related to my previous post. Does anyone know if you a a readylink phone will you be able to use qchat with it or will you need to buy a new handset? I'm assuming a new handset will be required but i want to make sure. thanks

I'm looking at a sprint coverage map and am having a hard time dicerning which color equates to what. Yes I may be partially color blind. Either way how much of Sprints coverage consists of Roaming partnerships?

Is the M1 the tops at SPrint or will something better come? And will any good PDA come?

On the SERO plan, they claim unlimited email. On a device like treo 700p, could some one clarify, is that Sprint Business Connection, or you have to down load a program like versamail or chattermail to get unlimited email ?

Also it seems they are charging for text messages at 0.15 c per msg, so you have to get a txt msg plan, which is not included on the sero plan.

River City Ransom, here. as youve noticed, ive changed my name. reason being is that 'River City Ransom' was the name of my former band. we split up cuz our guitarist started doing crack. totally uncool. so, the name no longer fits. i like the new one better anyways. im still me though. just wanted the regulars to know.

Hey all,

I'm just curious how many of you have checked out Sprint's official on-line forum and what you think about it. If you're not aware, the website is at:

Seems like a good idea from the outset, and if Sprint actually makes good on their promises of how they'll moderate the forum and be an active participant, it may be something that other carriers will follow suit with ;).

For those who work in the retail stores... Are you required to complete the CAR for every customer?

For those of you who are not familiar it stands for CUSTOMER ACCOUNT REVIEW

I am so curious as to how much money a sales rep in a corporate store can meke ina given year on average? thanks!

If someone signs up for the SERO plan, do they have to pass a credit check before they can get the plan?

Thanks

i am thinking of switching to sprint,and was wondering if i should sign with an agent who is offering me a really good deal or with the sprint store who didn't offer me any kind of deal? any thoughts or help would be great. what are the pros and cons.
thanks
RIP

How much flair must you wear in your retail locations? We now have to wear lanyards with ads in them. I feel like Jennifer Aniston on Office Space! They look ridiculous!

i was just wondering if we were the only company to charge a 36 dollar upgrade fee when a customer pays full price for a phone. and how is a good way to explain this fee to customers? i personally think the fee should be waved when full price is paid for a phone.

I apologize in advance for this question, but I have to ask it.

When I went in to look at the ic402 & ic502 hybrid phones, the local Sprint-Nextel dealer stated that the new hybrid "ic###" phones roam on Verizon's CDMA network, so that with Sprint's & Verizon's CDMA networks combined, the cellular coverage & sound quality are the best available. I know the PTT portion of the hybrids is limited to Nextel's iDEN network, but I was surprised by the statement that for CDMA voice calls Sprint roams on Verizon. True or false?

Thanks, and again I apologize if this is a stupid question.

Posted on Engadet today, do any of you sprint reps know anything about this? is this just the Palm sherlock which will most likely be just a cdma 750/680 or will this be the elusive hawkins new palm project. Anyone with any new info please elabo....
