nurkvinny Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Anyone on here sell Sprint phones / service? Tomorrow my 2-year agreement is finished on this POS phone, and I want to upgrade. I need 2 new phones, tons of minutes, and we have a ~20% discount through a plan w/ Children's Hospital. Let me know ASAP. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Good time to ditch the Sprint crap and go with something else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 My best friend works at the Sprint on Broad. His name is Patric. Not sure where you live though. I am not sure if you are looking for a deal, as I am not sure what he can do, but he could use the commission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin5s Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Kevin, your buddy hooked me up last time... problem is, he hooked me up with a shitty phone. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grease monkey Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I have always used sprint, and probally always will, Never had any dropped calls or any bullshit at all. I am using a sanyo mm7400 phone, and those are known to have some problems, but mine works well. good luck getting your shit taken care of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Kevin, your buddy hooked me up last time... problem is, he hooked me up with a shitty phone. :-) Are you sure? He didn't start with Sprint until not too long ago. He is a stand up guy and I don't think he would do you wrong. Plus, I have never recommended him to anyone on here. I saw this post and thought of an oppurtunity to hook him up with some Christmas season commission, plus maybe get Vinny a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 My work phone is Sprint. Garbage service, to the point we have had meetings with Sprint reps about this BS. Pretty sad I can be pretty much anywhere in 43204 (just west of downtown), and have a good chance of not having service. Blacklick...yup, you are going to drop calls. Deep into Canal Winchester, well, you might as well turn the phone off, as it isn't going to work. Worthington...spotty in several areas. The higher $$ area of Murfield = Sprint no worky there. I can go on if you would like, and this is JUST Franklin County. As far as personal phones go, I'd only take one if it was free, and would probably still keep my Verizon phone.

thorne Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I <3 my sprint PPC-6700. I don't drop calls but I have troulbe answering them ... It happens if i have to many programs open (Its windows based). EVDO is fast as crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 I <3 my sprint PPC-6700. I don't drop calls but I have troulbe answering them ... It happens if i have to many programs open (Its windows based). EVDO is fast as crap. I've had an Samsung I300 and I500 with them, and now have a Treo 650. All the same BS. Using the Sprint Vision web service is slow as piss too. And I forgot to bitch about the voice mail. Where sometimes a phone call won't show up, but someone leaves a voice mail. A few days latter, the VM finally hits my mailbox. Or sometimes I'll miss a bunch of voice mails, and a couple weeks later they pop up. Happens to my co-workers as well. My g/f has had it happen to her on her Sprint phone (which she also wants to be rid of, but got screwed by them on a contract renewal). Or...when people try to call me, I have service and am not using data services, yet it still goes straight to voice mail...nice. Then they try a couple mroe times in a couple minutes, and works fine. Of course, ANY time I can't get service with my Sprint phone, I bust out my Verizon, and imagine that, I have service w/ a good signal. Speaking of which, I forgot to add Bexley on Livingston as another spotty connection area I dealt with today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 My only real complaints about Verizon is about them being phone Nazi's. As in replacing the GUI's the phones come with, and putting their own crap on there (which they rarely update, and put the same cheapie GUI on a variety of the same-brand phones). That, and they lock down some phone features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yupp. Pretty odd I posted that and then today he got canned for not meeting his quota. Pretty fucked up to do before Christmas if ya ask me. But, I hope your happy and like your phone and sorry if I made ya travel out of your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 i guess i shoulda said earlier, if you're referring to the quiznos on broad past the hospital, on broad/mcnaughten, they tore that whole plaza down a couple months ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 treo 650 <> EVDO we have a few at the office. I teather and dl at 40-60K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl1647545488 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Orion hooked me up with my Treo 700w in January, I also got EVDO with it. I can connect it to my laptop for 500k average download speeds. I've been with Sprint and T-Mobile in the past, and Verizon beats them hands down. My only complaint is that Verizon is expensive, but that's quality for ya. Posting on CR on your Treo while sitting on the toilet at work FTW.

evan9381 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 verizon is pretty cheap in my mind. im paying about the same i was for cingular (maybe 7-8$ more but its in the same area)...MUCH cheaper than my nextel and sprint.
