Simple enough lol.
I normally have had excellent CS from Sprint, both over the phone, online, and in store, but today I had a flat out horrific chat experience online with them.
The chick knew nothing. I mean NOTHING. She told me to keep checking for updates after I told her I was on the newest update and gave her my version number (1.47.651.1 of course). Then, she lied to me about there not being any 4G coverage in the heart of downtown St. Louis!
I told her the map showed coverage and that my buddy's phone right next to me got 4G while mine didn't (of course it didn't, it has no certs ) and she said that there is no coverage there. The ZIP is 63102 by the way.
Then I told her again that my phone had service there before the update and that my buddy's did right then, and she said some jibberish then closed the chat.
Here's the worst part of the chat:
07/04/2010 04:48:11PM Jesse C: "63102"
07/04/2010 04:48:19PM Agent (Grace S.): "Ok, thank you."
07/04/2010 04:49:05PM Agent (Grace S.): "I am sorry to say that this area is not under the 4g network."
07/04/2010 04:49:26PM Jesse C: "The map shows that it is"
07/04/2010 04:50:33PM Agent (Grace S.): "I have checked with the help of required tool , the are under 63102 do not have the 4g coverage."
07/04/2010 04:51:05PM Jesse C: "I'm looking at the coverage map right now that says it does. My friends phone who was right next to me got 4G service"
07/04/2010 04:51:20PM Agent (Grace S.): "Ok."
07/04/2010 04:52:35PM Agent (Grace S.): "I understand that ."
07/04/2010 04:52:52PM Agent (Grace S.): "I have checked the basic ."
07/04/2010 04:53:33PM Agent (Grace S.): "Due to the technical nature of your concern please contact our technical support to resolve this issue."
07/04/2010 04:53:52PM Agent (Grace S.): "You can contact them at 1-888-211-4727"

What the f*ck does "I have checked the basic ." even mean!?
Jeez Sprint, I was proud of your CS before this. This is just sad.
Anyways, please share your worst experience here.
Regards,
Jesse C.
P.S. Look up the 63102 zip on Sprints coverage maps. It's blanketed by 4G.
Thats pretty bad. I have only had one problem so far with Sprint CS, though I have only called a few times as I just switched to Sprint for the Evo. I called CS a couple days after I got the phone activated, and told the rep that I wanted to add discounts to my account, either school or work. She told me that id get a 13% discount with work, and that SHE would apply it to my account, and that it would be on my on the bill after next, and to not worry about it. She was a pretty nice lady though.
I called back a week later, and asked the progress of it and if it was in the system. This lady said there was no record of me even calling, and there were no notes..
After 3 calls and 3 stores (got the run around) I finally managed to got somebody that would send me the damn replacement phones.
However, she talked like a robot.
After every single sentence she would said: "We apologize for any inconvenience we may cause you, thank you for waiting" Never even put me on hold, just said that after she would say something else.
She also asked me 3 times "How is your day today?" And all 3 times I replied by saying "Oh, it's going pretty good, just got done with a golf tourney"
Those are just two of the things she said exactly the same multiple times while I was on the phone. It was kind of creepy how she seemed not to remember that she had already asked me the same **** several times already and how it was always word for word.

That would be a pain in the neck. I've had similar things happen with AT&T though.
They had the worst in store people ever (rude, hateful, and just plain ignorant of there being anything besides the iPhone) and over the phone wasn't much better. At one point I called to add the $20 unlimited texting plan to one line of the family plan, and she kept insisting that I add the $30 unlimited plan for the whole account. I turned her down 3 times, and she still added it. I had to call back and have it changed.
^^ Those things make me happy I switched.
BTW: @oOflyeyesOo I noticed you're in St. Louis too, whereabouts you at? What kinda speeds do you pick up on 4G?
EDIT: @hrshycro Ha yeah that sounds pretty creepy. My in-store Sprint rep was really full of himself lol but hell he was funny. He would mess with all the customers though, which could be annoying if you aren't the joking type. He messed with an old lady about picking out a red phone, which I thought was a little over the line, but otherwise he was pretty good.
Everytime I call I get someone in the philippines. I'm assuming that country because at&t has call centers there. I always get someone who doesn't know what they are doing and always get different answers. I just hit my 30 day period today and I need to swap my EVOs and RS tells me that they will swap it after the 30 days. All I know is that they better or else someone is going to get earth slammed.

I've actually had good experiences so far with Sprint. All of the talk I've heard about the service and the customer service have been proven wrong. I got my Evo and my girlfriend's Evo by walking in.

My 30 days is up too, so they batter refund me money whenever I get the replacement mailer to send them back in and they get them...
Usually, I have had great customer service. The only problems are when they want to test my cell remotely, and they ask me to call from a land line. And I don't have a land line. So the test cannot be performed, and I have to go to the Sprint store. They assume you have a land line at home, which fewer people have each day.
I have been with them over 10 years.
Whenever I bug them about a fee or something, they give me credit. One day I even took my Blackberry, and they simple replaced it for a new one. I had no insurance and the BB was 6 months old.

That's awesome! Other than what happened today, I've actually typically had really great experiences with them in store & online, so I'm hoping this is just a one time thing lol.
It's nice to hear that most people have had no issues.
Well, I remembered another problem.
I found a Sprint cell phone in the snow. I called *2 and I told them, I found a cell phone.
They told me what was my cell number. I said, well, I don't know, I just found it and I would like you to call the owner at home, or send him an email.
They insisted that I should give them my name, which I did, and they told me that it does not match the name on the cell phone.
I replied that of course, because it was a Sprint cell phone I found in the snow. Somebody dropped it.
They told me there was nothing they could do about it.
------
Eventually the cell phone's battery died, but it happened to be just like my cell phone, so I put in my battery and waited for the call, she called...and then I met this nice Japanese girl at a corner that insisted that I take like 50 bucks. I didn't.
But really, customer representatives are like robots. When there is something unexpected, they have no clue about what to do. And I was disappointed that if I lose my cell, and somebody calls Sprint, they cannot do anything about it.
(they may be lazy.)

It really wouldn't surprise me if they only knew enough to get through basic convos. Most of my Sprint CS calls were with American sounding people (or people that spoke excellent English one way or another) but we've all had those "me no speaky" types if you'll forgive the stereotype
That chat rep I spoke to sure seemed to stumble through the language. It could have almost been machine translated from any language better.
Sprint sent me a touch pro 2 replacement after mine killed itself. Half of the keys wouldn't work so I called sprint up to tell them they sent me a broken phone. They told me to take it to the nearest corporate sprint store which is about 45 minutes away. So I get there and explain the situation and their response was "Nope, can't fix it". At this point i was pissed. So i went home and called sprint again. This time, my mother talked to the service rep. She yelled at the damn rep and they said they would send me a brand new phone. When the new one got here. There were big blue spots all over the inside of the screen. I just bought a palm pre and kept the replacement as a back up.
Sprint has been good to me...at least better than AT&T was.
my mom has been a sprint customer for like 13 years and whenever she talks to sprint cs reps it's over the phone... and whenever she uses up her minutes and her bill is high, she just calls and they'll cut it. but of course when i get my evo the treatment changes all of a sudden. the first time i called sprint it was bcuz my evo was bricked, so they said take it to bestbuy cuz we can't do anything for you. that conversation lasted literally 1 minute bcuz the girl didn't know what she was doing and she told me to take out the battery wait 2 days and then try to turn the phone on. i told her that this wasn't going to solve anything so she yelled goodbye and hung up
Geez. Do you guys expect the customer representatives to know every knicks and knacks of this phone? It's not they're fault they're given scripts and are under tight restrictions as to what they can do and say. Sure they may be seem robotic, but can't blame them. All customer representatives who just talks on the phone the whole will eventually sound like one.
Just saying that you guys are being a little harsh towards them. I would very much rather talk to them than actual robots.. er automated systems.

I live in the Ballwin area, near chesterfield. I get a 4G signal here, but its very weak signal, I never get any bars. Yesterday I was getting a bit better speeds when running speedtests. I was getting 2500-3000 down, and only 150 up... But a week before I was constantly getting speed tests that were in the hundreds, so atleast its getting a little better. Its still iffy though, I still don't get a constant connection, as when I try to download torrents, it might get to 150kb/s, but then drops back down fast, then slowly goes up again and back down, never constant.

Hey at least you get 4G! I'm down around Festus and we aren't on the list until Sprint is scheduled to upgrade the surrounding St. Louis areas until next May! Haha
Its nice to see those speeds. Before I screwed up my 4G the highest I ever hit was 2500, with most of them being about 1500-2000, speeds I can hit on 3G here.
Also, my torrents are always fluctuating like that over my 3G connection, its kind of a bummer lol

I honestly can't tell if that is sarcasm or not LOL!
I went to the store the other day to get my phone replaced because the power button is lower then what it should be making it difficult to turn on. The store where I originally bought it from ( a corporate store) said they would but I was moving so I didn't have time. So anyways I tried to get it replaced and some b*tch said it was a cosmetic defect and not a functionality issue. So she would not replace it. I eminently called Sprint cs and they said it would be replaced but the store would still not do it. On top of that cs said that the evo could only be replaced in store. I will only be within my 30 days for a few more days. BS I guess I have to get it from my original store.

So I looked at sprints coverage map again, and noticed that same as before for me, they show I should have full bar 4G coverage on my 1 acre property. I don't get any 4G at all until I go down the street a couple hundred feet.
I called them tonight, finally pissed off about it, and the first guy told me tough sh!t, that coverage maps were a total guestimate and didn't matter. Finally ending up talking to this girl who actually helped me out. She told me I would need to go by a sprint repair shop, thankfully one is 2 mins down the road from where I work, and have them check it out, and if they say it is fine, or replace my phone, and I still cannot connect, they will see what can be done next.
Background.
At first they went to tell me about the 30 days and so forth. I pointed out how I broke a $300 ETF to move to sprint, and then paid another 200 for my phone, and another 120 for my bill, all within the first 30 days of start of service with sprint. I also pointed out that the moment I did that, I lost my unlimited data plan with AT&T.
So I have unrooted my phone, and I am sad cause my phone feels so lame running stock sense 2.2 when I had a awesome 2.3.2 CM7 and will be like that until I go by the sprint store tomorrow evening. So I am hoping they somehow make good on their end when I get back home, and still get no 4G coverage, just like the other 4 evos that have been at my house my friends have get no coverage.
anyone else have issues like this? I was really just ranting cause I want to either have 4G or a carrier that I actually get 4G with at my house, when they say I will.

i am on the phone with sprint right now trying to terminate my contract without an ETF since I was lied to about coverage. They are sending me to "account services" right now to talk about it. I have been lied to and run in circles so many times trying to fix this issue. It is making me so mad.

Good luck. Let me know how it goes. I'm trying to figure out why coverage sucks so much at my house, despite both Clear and Sprint's 4g coverage maps claiming I should have good coverage.

well I ended up going way up sprint somehow. And eventually I talked to some manager who started cursing me out and calling me names and lying to my face. He said the only reason I have connection problems at my house was because I don't turn my phone off for extended periods of time during the day. lol... Needless to say I had his manager listen to that call and next thing I know I have no ETF, a sprint EVO 4G to sell, and an HTC thunderbolt that is so fast it isn't funny.
Congrats-what's the speed tests showing so far on average?

Ok, So I am incredibly unsatisfied with Sprint's service as of late. I purchased the Epic 4g Touch and experienced the dreaded "Loss Of Service" bug frequently. I was within my 14 day return limit so I went into the Visalia California Sprint Store to swap out for a different model (namely the Evo 3d which I traded in for the e4gt). I also signed 5 of my friends up with sprint as well and 2 of them got the e4gt and had the same exact issues. They convinced me to try a replacement and assured me that if it still experienced that bug I could return it within 14 days of receiving the replacement phone. The replacement phone was worse than the one I had originally and lost service every hour. I missed several calls from work leaving my employer under the impression I was angry and ignoring her and almost cost me my job. So I went in to the Visalia California store yet again to get a replacement model. I spoke with the same woman that convinced me to get the replacement model (She was also the manager) and she stated that the device was out of its 14 days since the FIRST device and that I couldn't get a different model (see what she did there?). So I went home and called Sprint off of another line and spent 4 hours total on hold. I hung up and called Sprint tech support and after running tests and walking me through updates and such the rep spoke with a manager on his end and concluded that I needed a different model of phone. He stated that he would note that down in the ticket and to go into the Visalia California store and they would give me a different model. So I went in to the store and spoke with the manager yet again. This time after reading the ticket she became rude and uncivil stating that the ticket says "customer needs to try a different model of phone" and that they didn't have to provide it for me and that even if it did, corporate cannot make them give me a different model. The whole time I was civil and polite but my frustration was building. I drove an hour to the Sprint store in Fresno only to find out that Visalia had to handle my case and that they could not even replace it with the same model. So I found a man on craigslist and traded it for a Nexus S 4g. I plan on paying out my contract asap and switching to Verizon. They know how to treat a customer.
/End rant/
I might be wrong, but i'm pretty sure since you live in the state of California you have up to 30-days to return a device and not 14 like other states.
i was told 14.
This thread should be titled “my Samsung experience.”
Welcome to Samsung. You have been initiated.
*nevermind*
read your local laws, scan or photo them, and send them to sprint. I have been a customer since 1999 and they would NEVER pull this poo with me. I threaten them every time I am on the phone, you'll get what you want, ask for the account retention department...
Wait what the hell? Verizon and AT&T both limit your data now? WTF I cant do that God they are sooo lucky I need a phone. So I get a choice between sh*tty customer service and sh*tty cellphone service... I can't live in this world anymore

sprint is fine, i work for them, it's just you always get the a**holes at some sprint stores, i would never treat a customer like that, let alone lead them in the wrong direction just for a commissioned pay, that's probably why that manager did that, but anywho, don't be mad at sprint, i'm sure you experience will get better with them, my parents have been with them for 15 years+ and never had an issue, and i've been with them for about 5 or 6 under my parents account, they have good service, just right now it's kinda hard keeping everyone happy while doing a MASSIVE network upgrade, but some people are impatient, but trust me sprint is the way to go
P.S. from reading your post, the initial issue does sound like it was the phone itself, you should have gotten something else, and don't bother with the 3d unless you can return it, i'm using it now, low signal strength, i would recommend the Photon (also own) the signal strength and radios in that phone are the strongest i've ever seen in any phone out there
buy your phone at target next time they have way better deals than sprint company stores and do a 30 day exchange period.. i work at a target mobile, we will treat you right,

THIS GUIDE IS PURELY INFORMATIVE. HOW YOU DECIDE TO USE THIS INFORMATION DOES NOT INVOLVE ME.
I AM IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PERSONAL MISHAPS DUE TO THIS INFORMATION. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
With that said, lets get started.
If you are one of the many sprint users that has borked 4g, or their phone in general by being a root newb, this guide is for you.
OBJECTIVE: Use your charismatic personality in order to recieve a free (or $35) Brand new (or refurbished) Evo 4G.
STEP BY STEP:
1.Unroot is absolutely VITAL for this to work. CLICK HERE FOR UNROOTING GUIDE!
2.[OPTIONAL] Keep the phone as is (widgets and wallpaper) when you install the original software onto your phone. This will benefit you in the future.
3.Locate your nearest Sprint retailer. WARNING! DO NOT GO TO A SPRINT CONTRACTOR OR TECHNICIAN STORE USE THIS LINK TO FIND YOUR LOCAL STORE!
4.Make sure you have at least 2-3 hours of free time before you actually enter the store, as with the release of the EVO LTE the store WILL be populated.
5.Enter the store and let the rep know of your phone's issue (4g being the easiest problem to replicate). He/she will most likely put you on a list and make you wait a while.
6.IMPORTANT! Act completely potato at this point. Make sure the reps understands that you are a dimwitted redneck hillbilly with absolutely no tech knowledge.
7.When you are called upon, the rep may ask you if you rooted your phone. Say "What's that?" and you are set.
8.After the rep does his stupid routine, he will probably reccomend that you go to the corporate HQ store and yadda yadda. Just say "Can't I just get a replacement?" At this point, if you do not have insurance, the rep will tell you that it will cost $35.
9.Say "Alright." and be on your merry way to a new phone.
10.??????????
11.Profit.

-Meph, out!
This worked for me a few months ago. My phone Was stuck in diag mode. They were out of evos and offered me a ns4g for the 35. Woot. U can probably get a newer phone like me if they are out of evos

Hypothetically, if you were to somehow *accidentally* lose your RSA keys... I guess you could pull it off. But this is geared more towards the people who lost them innocently through flashing radios.
Is there anything actually wrong with your evo?
If so, replicate it enough to be able to show a rep.

You are one lucky sucker!
I tried my hardest to go for the LTE, but the guy just said he'd "Hook me up" with a refurbished evo.
I'm slightly jealous.

I was just thinking about that!
What a coincidence lol.
How is that btw? Reliable at all?
thanks...
Thanks for this, I didn't know Sprint did the $35 replacement thing. Do you have to be within the first year, or is this just a standard thing? Was thinking the 4g response may not work, as we don't have it in our area either.
The main problem with my girls' phone is the camera is borked, but it's a hardware issue...you can literally move the lens around. I don't want to go in and them claim they can't help because she dropped it or something.
Want to go and check it out in person.
I know t-mobile doesnt have any yet.

I have no idea when they're going to get official displays out, but the store I went to had a guy in a Samsung shirt standing outside (in a mall) showing off the phone to people who wanted to take a closer look at it.
where are you guys at my local tmobile store had tons, there were around 6 people buying one when i walked in and abour 9 or so people working there including managers and such and all of them had one in there hand and i asked if they got only a few or a lot and they said they had a lot left and that was yesterday
