So the day after Christmas our family had an emergency and needed to call 911. I couldn't.
I was trying to call 911 on my wifes phone and trying to call my nurse neighbor on mine.
The phone's were just talking to each other. All I could was hear was myself on both phones.
I tried hanging up and switching which phone was calling who and got the same thing.
Sprint's analysis is that they were 'cross-talking'. Their solution? Try calling 911 to see if it works (that should go well) and reset my phone. I go through their reset process every time I have to take a test at school and turn it off. This should work "most of the time".
I don't want 911 to work 'most' of the time. It should work every time!
Up to this point I had been very patient and calm.
When I told them I would like out of our contract because of the lack in faith I have in their system she told me "we'd hate to lose you over this one little incident". I lost it. I told her "This is not a little incident" she tried to correct herself and said 'minor detail'. It just kept getting worse for her.
I gave them the option of letting me out of this contract and we leave on good terms and I come back at a later date or come July when the contract is done we are gone for good. If we were to cancel early they are going to charge us $200.00 which they "can't waive".
We've been with Sprint for well over 5 years without a single late payment and to tell me that they "can't" waive the cancellation is crap. They WON'T.
With the bills about to roll in I can't afford the cancel fee and start up a new contract elsewhere, so I'm stuck. CRIPES!
Sorry for the rant. I had to get this out.
Have a great day. Just not with Sprint.
