Cell phone companies are really starting to tick me off! I am currently with Sprint…if you aren’t with them STAY THAT WAY!
Last month I went in to Sprint to get a new phone. After my fell into a cup of chocolate milk, it was having some major issues. I found out I could either pay $120 for a new Palm Pre or I could pay $200 for the brand new, top of the line EVO. I figured that I might as well suck up the $80, get a bigger screen, duel cameras, and a 4G phone than pay $120 for the same one I had. So I fork out $300 (waiting for a $100 rebate) and get a cool phone.
This last month I have enjoyed having my EVO. Despite it freezing up a few times and telling me I was in a different country and a different time zone, I have liked it. Then I go to pay my bill. WHAT THE HECK IS THIS PREMIUM DATA CHARGE!? $10 for premium data? I thought I had unlimited everything. So I give Sprint a call to ask them about the new charge. A representative explains that with the EVO it has 4G and the $10 fee pays for the 4G. TIME OUT! I don’t have 4G in my area. I questioned why if I don’t have 4G do I have to pay for something I can’t use? The representative says that the charge comes with the phone and can not be changed. How ridiculous, especially because when I bought the phone I was not told about the charge. $240 more during my new two year contract I had to sign for something I can’t use is not happening folks! I am told my options are to return the EVO (since I am still in my 30 day trial) or suck it up and pay it.
The next day Sprint sends me a survey asking if everything was resolved. DUH! NO! It wasn’t! Yesterday, Sprint calls me. They say they are calling to resolve issues that weren’t previously resolved. 15 wasted minutes later I hear the same thing…return the phone or suck it up.
Last night I went and checked out AT&T. I find out that it will cost me $96/ month for the service I need with AT&T. Well at Sprint I only pay $62 if I don’t have the EVO. I can’t justify paying $10/month more so there is no way I am paying $24 more. However, at this point $24 a month and getting away from the many issues I have had with Sprint is sounding great.
After much thought, I decided to stay with Sprint and pay $62/ month and downgrade my phone. So I call Sprint today and ask when my 30 day mark is up so I know when I have to get into a store by to make the switch. I give them yet another call and guess what I hear…”Your 30 day mark was on Monday.” WHAT THE!! I explained to the lady that during the last three days, each time I talked to a representative they gave me the option of returning the EVO and all stated I was still in my 30 day mark. Now I have missed it by TWO DAYS!!! AHHHHH!!!!! The representative told me it is up to the store I purchased it at to see if they will return it. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? Now I have to go in to the store and see what they say. Suddenly that $24/ month is sounding better and better.
I wish cell phone companies didn’t try to take more money from you than necessary. Honestly does Sprint really need my $240 when I am not using their 4G network? Does AT&T really need to charge $96 (and that is with a $10/month discount) for the same service I get at Sprint for $62? Does Sprint really need to say “no take backs” after 32 days but 30 days is okay? I wish I could find an honest cell phone company to get service through that I am not ticked at every time there is an issue. What happened to the old saying, “The customer is always right”?!
What are you wishing for today?
Although I have the motivation to workout I wish I had a workout buddy. I think it would be so fun to pick up your friend, go the gym, sweat, laugh at each other when they complaining, motivate each other after laughing to get going again, and then bask in front of the mirror at our new found (at least for me) hot bodies. Even just a running partner would be great. Passing the time listening to music works but I think it would be fun to run and chit chat….may take me a while to be able to breath, run, and talk at the same time but I would love to take the challenge.
