If I could provide zero stars, I would most certainly do so. For the past several months, I have had reoccurring issues with the service and continuous dropped calls. I use this phone for business purposes as well as personal.

I chatted with about three representatives and cannot believe the level of incompetence of these "customer service" reps. I had emailed the chat transcript to myself and advised the representative that I was sending a copy to their corporate office as well.

For the first time ever, I did not receive my chat transcript. She was in a center overseas(Biggest problem with Sprint) not supporting American jobs. Her communication skills were horrendous and she kept contradicting herself. She asked me what I thought my credit amount should be as if we were negotiating in a…

The analysis discovered that T-Mobile led the way in customer satisfaction and received a score of 76 out of 100. Meanwhile, U.S. Cellular and Verizon both tied for second at 74 points while Sprint came in last with 65 points.

I could add to this with a list of complaints but it makes little difference in the end. They (SPRINT) are beholden to investors and damn the customer at all costs.

Got iPhone XR in Nov. Drop calls, weak network, no one could hear me, text messages would not send, internet very lousy. Called Sprint literally 8 times, went to repair store, no one answered my live chat. They wouldn't do a claim.

Bill was much higher than Verizon. I missed a lot of calls from child school. This phone was a danger to my family. Shame on you Sprint. They still will not answer or help me.

After 15 years of being a customer with Sprint I found out my lease contract ended 12 month ago and I was being charged month to month service when I asked to be put on a ownership plan I was told that I would have to pay $594 dollars more for the phone that the lease contract had expired. They charged me me month to month lease service for three phones, now I don't own the phones unless I paid and additional $594.

What a rip-off for a 12 year customer. One of my phones is damaged and they want me to paid through insurance $294 for a refurnished phone. what a rip off for a loyal customer I asked to be on a 6 month ownership program and this insist that would cost even more.

Good afternoon, My name is Shanteria and I have an account with Sprint. I have been a customer over 10 years. Over the past few months I have experienced the worst customer service in my life. This all started back in March and I still have not received a complete resolution.

I have had customer service agents laugh in my face, keep me on hold over an hour. I have received so much misinformation. I have had billing issues, with the bare minimum service. Supervisors have lied, I spoke with one of your corporate representatives and thought he was a level 1 agent.

I did receive some help from Maria at the corporate office she assisted me and broke my bill down. Now barely a month later I am still having issues. I have called sprint more in the last 3 months than I have with my duration of…

I've been a customer for 18 years and as if June 2018 Sprint's network and service has been completely horrible! I have had several conversations with agents, technical support and even supervisor or two and I am fed up because the issue has yet to be resolved.

I live in a major city yet the service has been crap since last year. They sent me that Magic box which is a complete waste of space becaus eit has done nothing to make the network run better. It takes forever to open emails, to send emails, to download apps, and to watch streaming apps and this service is not free.

I pay my hard earned money and I want great service. I have been nothing but loyal to Sprint in all these years and I expect the same in return. Being that I have been a customer for almost 20 years should come with…

I did a change of ownership that was supposed to be transferred over 3 lines. I now learn after I was told that my lease was over and I am on another carrier that 1 phone was never transferred and now I am being penalized for supposedly canceling a lease that I was told was over.

Now I have to pay 223 dollars for bring mislead. Unacceptable. Wont recommend them again!!

I have been a Sprint customer for many years. Their customer service has gone worst. One it is extremely difficult to understand the representative English as it looks like call is routed offshore God know where.

Second the courtesy and respect of customer service we are used to here in USA is absolutely missing. I changed my plan future dated and then I tried to get new phone from Apple. I just could not get new phone because the change plan which I did there was no option to cancel, apply immediately.

Only option was to wait whole week. I called and I was put on hold for hours but in vain. Still my issue is unresolved. Absolutely mess.

Re: contract 215603305 Leonard Scheff

On 25 May 2019 in response to your TV ads, I went to the Broadway store in Tucson to get a cell phone and an account. Your ad said it would be $35 per month and a free phone. Neither was true. I went ahead anyhow when I was told I could cancel and get my refund within 30 days. That was not true. The monthly charge was $40 not $35. I bot a LG Tribute Empire for $195 plus tax. When I tried to use it, I discovered it did not have a manual. It also did not seem to permit contact with an App Store. The purchase took two hours.

I therefore took it back on May 29 2019 well within thirty days. with the paper work and requested my money back. When I told the employee that I couldn’t use the phone because it lacked a manual. He said he knew that. He agreed to…

Approx 3 weeks ago I had called and spoke to a man and set up payment arrangements. Yes it’s my fault I’m 2 months behind. I had a death in the family and it hit hard. But after being with sprint for over a decade and never being late or had service interrupted I surely thought they took care of their loyal customers.

The gentlemen and I agreed to have past due amount paid by the 1st and the remainder paired by the 11th. Today is the 30th of May. I still have 2 days to make the payment, I’m about 20 bucks shy but I get paid on the 31st...

well apparently the language barrier between me and the representative was an issue or he was just lazy and didn’t make my arrangements because my phone is now shut off on the 30th!! They can not give me 2 more days like I had agreed upon...

My husband and I went to your Plainwell, MI store to get a new phone for him and add me to his plan and purchase a phone for me. He has been a Sprint customer for many years. I recently retired and no longer have a phone through work.

When asked for ID, we both produced our drivers license. The young man helping us did something on his computer. It evidently didn’t go through at which time he called his manager to the front area. The managers name is Nadina.

After he explained to her why we were there, she told us that since my husband had renewed his license (the paper renewal was attached), she could not help us. When I told her I didn’t understand why she said his license was not valid.

I asked her to check with someone else as his license is valid and her response was “I am not…

I switched from Verizon to Sprint to try it out and have been tremendously disappointed. The cell phone service is about the same as Verizon, with some dead spots where I had service before. The people who helped me at the shop were friendly but didn't seem to know what they were doing and signed me up for an unlimited plan even though I said multiple times I wanted only 2gb.

When I called customer service, the agent was still trying to sell me on the unlimited plan and was unable to change my bill even though I had signed up for only 2gb in the store and was assured multiple times that's what would go through. This all seems like a scam to make me pay for the unlimited plan...

I am really disappointed and am considering switching back to Verizon after this experience.

I have been waiting for a stupid print out of my bill. I have been overlooked once. I have been getting charged an extra $50 on my bill. There should be a better customer service at your store. I honestly hate coming into your store. Because of this reason.

There are things one could do to be more professional and costumer oriented. But you guys don’t care you get paid either way so that’s why I can’t wait to drop you guys. An hour just for a print out to see why you are taking more of my money

I would not give Sprint even a 1 it would be a zero. I have been a customer since 2004 and recently just got the S10+, this phone is horrible . I can not get service 50% of the time, they sold me a defective phone and they know it is defective yet I can not get a replacement phone.

Horrible customer service they have lied to me multiple times. They are charging me a outrageous amount for a phone that is not reliable.

com/iPhone/restore I tried several times to plug the phone in and turn it on however the button would not move as if it was locked in place I returned with the phone and was told by a man who refused to identify himself that they could not help me. He informed me that they could only take the phone back if it was returned in the same condition stating that I was at fault for the button.

After trying to reach cooperate he finally reached his general manager who sold me the phone she also had to convince him to help me however this guys attitude while I am here is very disgusting and he seems upset that he could not just turn me away. I do not appreciate this disrespect as a longtime customer

I am still waiting to be assisted after over 30 minutes without the employee even acknowledging my presence or apologizing for the wait. I am about to leave and go somewhere else, as in a different carrier. For the amount of money I spend per month for my entire family's phones and services, this lack of customer service is unacceptable. Two people came in after me and left already. How do you plan to make this up to me as my time is valuable and I pay for these services?

They do not care about people. They are only out to sell and push more product. You ask how to get your bill down and they tack on more and more until you are paying more fo a phone, not less.

When you go in to store for assistance, plan on at least one or two hours. Unless you are buying, then they push you right through. Your phone will not work or unlock after first two days you have it and they tell you you have two pay $250 for a new one.

After you just dumped a ton of money with them. Big RIP off. We have been with them fifteen years and have grown extremely dissatisfied over last two years. Changes in this case are not for the better.

when called they said they never heard of that and no record I was told that or that an email was sent to me.... I called 5 different people so far and they all told me different stories... I am currently on hold with the fifth person on hold for 10 minutes now and counting....

⚠️Sprint has been dishonest since I agreed to switch companies. I have been with Sprint since August and I have had an issue every single month. They offered me an IPhone X and an iPad along with the assurance of a great international contract.

While I am traveling I was told that I should use FaceTime Audio or FaceTime video. This is not true because when my bill came in October I had overage charges that were close to 400 dollars. I had to call the international department who gave me the run around before telling me that the service is to weak to place calls using your data so when you are having a video call that time is actually roaming minutes.

Then they told me that if I used wifi calling and turned off my data that my roaming minutes would not be used. So from November to January…

We have worked with the staff in this store in the past (hence the return to work with them) and had great customer service until 5/24/2019 I need to explain what happened prior to this incident. At the time my husband upgraded his phone we agreed to have the Sprint Drive installed in our car.

I see this commercial for satisfaction guarantee. the first 30 days right! What they wont explain is how when they tell you to set up with autopay to lock in your low price for the full 18 month term. Then surprise!

After 30 days my bill go's up $40 a month. Then after 12 months my bill goes up another $60? After complaining for over an hour, they can only give me $25 off a month till term ends. This is still over $75 more a month than i was supposed to pay? Than it gets better.

They tell me i wont get to keep the phone after the 18 months without paying a fairly large amount. They really need to watch the sales representatives which are selling lies. I was told after 12 months i would have the option to pay off the remaining 6 months on the phone or upgrade, or just keep until 18 months…

When upgrading my son's phone we were told that they had a promotion with that phone and son could select some accessories completely FREE. Noticed my bill increase by $31 a month and when I inquired, they said I signed for them and there is nothing Sprint will do.

They told me I was signing for the phone and said several times FREE. My son is a witness and when I called the store where we purchased phone, Store Manager, Christian, said I was about the tenth person who had complained about the individual, Bartholomew Dewitt-Sutton.

There was a promotion running around Christmas time with LG where if you bought an LG phone, you were to get a free LG 55" TV. At that time, we bought 4 new phones, added 3 additional lines to our account.

The television was supposed to be a promotion from LG.

We were told this would be shipped to the store in Conroe. Julian Landaverde was our salesman who said he would fill out papers. That was just after Christmas. We have been in the store multiple (probably up to 20 times, by the various people on my account, my husband (3 or 4…

4 years ago I switched to sprint. Service was great. Now I upgraded my phones and now my coverage sucks. Drop calls all the time. Calls time out. a lot of dead spots while traveling. Calls not going through to another sprint carrier Not sure if it’s Sprint needs a updated system or if my NEW Apple iPhone XR is a piece of crap.

And the monthly cost is 200 per month. I am not getting what I pay for. Between my adult children and myself whom all now have sprint experience the same services. Crappy service. And we all have updated 2019 apple iPhones.

On 03/08/2019 I went to the sprint store at 2109 E Franklin Blvd Gastonia, NC 28054 Store number 2094 to look at new phones and consider an upgrade. I was greeted by sales rep Elizmar Montanez. There was sign in front of the phone stating it was $29 a month. I asked if I could get the phone and only add $29 to my monthly bill repeatedly and she answered yes. My bill was about $79 dollars and she gave me a new price with the phone including taxes and fees of under $110 a month. My first draft was $170. She asked me if I wanted the Sprint insurance on the phone and I told her no. She offered me a Sprint Drive device and service that came with a one year membership with AAA and that if I signed up for it it would lower my bill by $5.

After an hour talking to her and picking colors and etc. she transferred me to another representative which then gave me a higher price. Had to get a manager involved and he could care less if we were going to switch and said he would connect me with the disconnect department.

Sprint , I was told by a sprint customer service representative holds peoples payments from one to eight days in thier mail room before processing it. If your payment is due in two days and it has been recieved at thier mail room two days before your due date but is held for six two eight days you get an unwarranted late charge to your account.

This is so discusting and wrong and has to be illeagal. Calling Sprint to correct this situation is nothing less than a joke to them. I tried to complain to sprint but was told instead to call the county consumer fraud unit and start an investigation.

Also the federal trade commission , federal communications commission , and better business bureau and file complaints. If you have sprint and have been charged late fees it was probably caused by…

How can that be possible when we were leasing the devices while in contract n after the contract we still owe? So that means your company is falsifying the information to the customers? Can someone help me figure it out please.

When I call customer service ther speak like robots n seems like they r reading from a given way of telling customers what sprint wants them to say. I hope someone can explain this ASP
