Don't get me started about them and their contracts. I've been with them so long that I pre date contracts! They call me all the time, leaving voicemail and numeric pages, to try and get me to add a line and sign a contract. I'm always asking them why I would do that when I don't need another phone for myself, my entire family is on Sprint, and to get a contract I'd have to pay $10 more a month to get half the minutes???? They don't care about customer loyalty, only contracts. They would not give me the $150/18months credit towards a new phone because I don't have a contract or spend more than $35/month. I've been with them for EIGHT years. Where do they think I'm going???

Couple of comments:

Personally, I think it is rude to text message during a meeting or class. Back in my day it was passing notes, equally rude. It's not a matter of the meeting leaders or professors throwing a "hissy fit", it's just disrespectful. I agree with AXO Alum.

I haven't dealt with Sprint but we have had a Verizon Family Plan Contract for over 6 years. Ever since our last renewal, the monthly phone bills have had errors. The last one had them charging for ALL minutes rather than nights weekends, InCalling, and FP minutes, thus bringing the invoice to 5x of the correct amount. It has taken at least 6 lengthy phone calls with Verizon Customer Service and ultimately a carefully worded letter to their Legal Department to correct this costly error.

I am tempted to switch but we stick with Verizon because it's the one service that gets good reception at my D's college.
