Sprint hits low in national customer satisfaction index

The American Customer Satisfaction Index has released its quarterly report today. No surprise to me that Sprint has hit a low year-over-year of -8.2 percent. Sprint stands alone in the negative column within its own industry. In its press release the index points to Sprint's service problems and customer defections as a reason behind the low numbers that drag the entire wireless sector down.

The ACSI is a national economic indicator measuring satisfaction of U.S. consumers. It is produced by the University of Michigan's Ross Schools of Business in partnership with the American Society for Qualtiy and CFI Group. Read more.

sprint lied

Sprint changed my contract an limited my roaming mins. They sent me a letter saying that since they changed the contract I had the option to cancel service without having to pay my last months bill and I wouldn't have to pay early dissconect fees. Well a year and a half later I get a collection company on my credit report for the amount owed of 2500.00. Not only did they charge me for eary disconect they also kept my acount active, without billing me and me not sending a payment, for 6 more months at over 200 a month and charged me early disconcet for all 5 lines.

Renewing a Sprint contract

I just moved to California to work on a degree, and the area I moved into is a notorious dead zone. Tried using my Sprint phone for a while, but couldn't sustain any conversation more than 30 seconds before the call dropped. My wife and I changed to AT&T, which was better but coverage is still iffy at times. We got shocked by a huge bill from Sprint on our old phones, charging $200 each for breaking our contract. Turns out Sprint called us about a year ago, and offered us a $70 rebate if we renewed. Sounded like a good deal at the time, and was promptly forgotten.

I asked Sprint if they could help, given that it was a military move. The agent we talked to understood and agreed to drop the original $70 per phone rebate from the charges. Found out today that this decision was overridden by someone higher up. Apparently the home office believes they have perfectly good service out here... If Sprint offers you any money back to prolong service, DON'T DO IT! You are setting yourself up for pain afterwards, if you try to leave Sprint (something increasingly likely as their service declines).

Sprint LIES!!!

Sprint told us we did not have a contract NUMEROUS times. Not only people on the phone but people in the stores. We recently cancelled and have been slapped with termination fees. They are saying we had a contract. Sprint lies and its BS! Some of them are rude on the phone and do not care about helping you. They only care about their bottom line!

Sprint Lies

It appears that Sprint has a letter prepared for it's foreign speaking employees what to say and what not to say; what they can and cannot do for their clients. Also I believe that when the representative says they are going to help you with your complaint, it's usually swept under the carpet. Case in point, I had discussed an issue with a Sprint rep. and they they said they were sorry for the inconvenience, also that the matter would be resolved. Next day I called Sprint to confirm or verify my conversation with their rep. the previous day and they had no record of the conversation and agreement to add anything to my account. They also have a weird way billing you after you've made a payment for the same amount. Sprint will continue to fall apart if they don't try to make some incentives to the customers they are losing as well as those they have lost. Looks as if Leap Wireless has a better deal.

Sprint customer service lied

Misty Haris The reason we are canceling after many years of service is due to the fact Jermaine B Your account has been cancelled. Misty Haris on June 23rd, my husband spoke to an agent who said his name was Ken Harris Misty Haris he agreed to give us 1100 minutes a month for $54.00 month and two new phone for 79.00 each with a direct connect My husband tried to set up direct connect and then he was later told by cust serv that would be an addtl $15.00 per line. Misty Haris instead we were charged $129.00 for each phone last thursday 7.17.08 my husband was told by Nikki that a mgt dept person would call him within four hours, he never received a call back 6:17:46 PM Jermaine B Yes, I see that in your notes. 6:18:00 PM Jermaine B About the manager suppose to be calling you. 6:18:27 PM Misty Haris My husband and I feel that we were mislead from the beginning about what type of plan we could get for the price and then when we called to get things cleared up, everything that was told to us on June 23rd was never actually true. I am very sorry that you have to hear this info but we need to make sure that someone knows this info 6:20:16 PM Misty Haris The original plan never existed, management never called us and then after my husbands call today he would told by another lady we could not have our bill prorated and would have to pay up to Aug 10th. I appreciate you canceling our plan as of today and appreciate your time. Thank you, Ken and Misty Harris 6:21:45 PM Jermaine B Correct, I understand your frustration, I will be sure to note your account very heavily on this matter for the supervisor to observed this matter. 6:22:15 PM Jermaine B I really apologize, for all the inconveniences, and your welcome. 6:23:35 PM Jermaine B Thank you again for contacting Sprint.
