88lx5oh Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 i hate my nextel service, and with all the bad things ive heard about sprint by posting that thread, im gonna say screw them to. the only way to get out of contract without paying the $200 per line fee is to move where you dony get service. BUT you have to show proof that you moved. like a piece of mail with your name on it to that address. any ideas i looked through the service agreement, and no where does it say that in the contract. but thats what they keep telling me on the phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 they write those contracts to protect the revenue for a set amount of time. they don't write it for your benefit, it is for theirs. If you have having problems you need to call and tell them what the problem is and give them the opportunity to fix it. If they cannot fix it you need to call every day and basically state that if they aren't going to fix your problem you need to be let out of the contract. I did this with Directv and it worked after fighting with them for several months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 but thats what they keep telling me on the phone Who keeps telling you that on the phone? I had friend who's gf got a job at verizon and wanted to get out of their sprint contract. Her step dad owns a few rental properties in Washington Courthouse so he gave them a copy of a lease agreement and they all signed their names. Sprint doesnt provide service in Wash. Courthouse, that was that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin5s Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 dude, even moving out of service doesn't work.. trust me, you get ZERO service at my fiance's house... they told me tough shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l36tols1 Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Yeah only Verizon and Sprint will accecpt some type of bill with a new address in a area where there is no coverage. Nextel is the hardest to get out off I'm still trying to figure that out. But it is basically all Sprint now so you never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Edit: He beat me to it Here are some other little tidbits... If you move to an area where a cell phone company cannot provide you a local phone number or/and service they are suppose to let you out of contract. Not getting service in your home doesnt mean that they dont have service down the street. If they have service anywhere in your city they technically can hold you to the contract. The calling in repeatedly definitely does work. Just make sure you are being polite. If you have notes left on your account saying you are a tool people will be less likely to help you. I know when I have to deal with a situation like this one of the first things I look at is the number of times the customer has called. Each call costs the company money. Sometimes it will save the company money if we can justify letting a customer go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 dude, I call them at least once a month.... no luck... they say that they have 3 towers in my fiance's home town... ya, funny how I cannot pick up ANYTHING there... then they instructed me to just roam since Verizon works fine... but they bill me for the roaming by taking away my minutes.... 1 more year then I'm switching to Verizon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And once a month isnt alot, try once a week, maybe every three days. Thats alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
