I'm not sure who is doing public relations for Sprint, but somebody needs to be fired!!!
In the latest 'Sprint hates you' saga, the under achieving carrier dropped 200 U.S. soldiers who had just returned from Iraq.
Why?
Because of "excessive roaming", and not even in Iraq! The soldiers had returned to West Point to train cadets, and Sprint who advertises that they have the best coverage in the area had no coverage at all. Calls frequently dropped, and the quality was bad. But here's the kicker:
"Many of us Sprint customers received a letter at the beginning of this month declaring that our Sprint account will be cancelled on July 30th due to the amount of roaming we are doing. The letter stated that they believe that another carrier will be able to serve us better and that we are receiving the boot. Keep in mind, we are not here permanently, or by choice. This is a two month obligation that we had to fulfil, and because of it, Sprint is telling us good bye. We will be returning to our home station, where we have clear Sprint service, FIFTEEN days after the cancellation of our accounts. I personally know at least 10 soldiers that called and explained this situation to Sprint and was told everything was fine."
The best part? Sprint sold this guy a phone at full price the day the cancellation letter was mailed.
Smooth Sprint! Real smooth!
