Just give me a new phone
To give you some back ground on why I needed a new phone I will start towards the beginning of last year. I had been using the Sanyo 8100 for quite a while and enjoying my Seinfeld ringer, which no one else had. All was well and then I was approached by a nice gentleman who was switching services at work and who gave me their nice palm enabled phone from sprint the i500. This was supposed to organize my life and keep me on track. It’s a bit tough for me but if a phone could do it, I’m on board.
Well the months went by and the phone turned out to be a hunk of junk. I tried vision for a while hoping to receive email on the fly but all I got was a virus that shut down the i500 for a week, lost all my numbers, a screen that stopped working, a screen that started working, and finally a screen that stopped working with a massive battery that would loose charge in a day. Needless to say I was switching back to my old phone.
It was a great choice for a few months. I had my ringer back, my old stupid drunken photos from college and a phone that worked. Until of course it began dropping calls like crazy. It started when I went home for the holidays. I would try to get a hold of my friends and the phone wouldn’t let me finish a conversation. How rude! That’s OK, I’ve had my phone for over 3 years, I must be up for an upgrade right?
Think again.
You apparently need to have your phone activated for 2 consecutive years to get a good upgrade credit. Well good, before I switched from the 8100 to the i500 I had it activated for 2 years. Wrong. Super. Bite me. I began to call several times a day to try and get an upgrade. No such luck. The people from wherever they’re from that’s not America were not seeing eye to eye with me and figuring out that they weren’t making any sense. What happened to sprint customer service that allowed you to sweet talk your way to a good deal. Service that made you feel in control even though you weren’t at all.
Gone.
It was time to make a drastic move. I was going into a local Sprint Store to see what I could do.
To be continued…
Hi, im a sprint rep
Maybe a palm was a little bit much technology for you, palm will not recive virus unless you recive one for the web (that’s no sprint fault) ok i have this microsoft windows xp computer so when i opened a mail that said “you dont know me but download this pic of ashlee simpson kissing madonna”) a virus destroyed my computer ohh i hate bill gates, omg!!, dropped calls may be caused by your drunken nigths kissing people and putting your sanyo inside your pants, ok why dont you get the $150.00 dll rebate if you had 2 years with your cellhpone instead of changing to a palm that you dont even know how to use it, oh and by the way, palm was used by a “nice gentleman” who maybe gave that palm to you because wasnt working well…
