UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE I purchased a Sprint cell phone on July 11, from Radio Shack (R/S) in Lake City, Florida. My new Sprint phone number was 386-697-9528. At the time of purchase, I paid around $64.88 On or about August 10, I received a call from Sprint (1-888-211-4727), informing me that I owed them $93.58. I told them that from the day I purchased the phone I never used the phone, nor did I receive a bill!! I was astonished the amount that I was said to owe because I was told that my monthly bill would be 49.00. I could not understand how a contract for $49.00 a month could result in a bill for $93.58, especially considering the fact that the phone was never used. However, I desperately need a cell phone because I was a totally disabled veteran in need of a liver transplant; therefore, I agreed to pay the amount. and on aug 26th I had a liver resection done at shands in Gainesville fl. I'm also retired us navy, and 100% disabled veteran. old and wore out .. and those leaches think they can charge anything.
I informed the Sprint representative on aug.12TH ** that I would be sending a payment within 2 days, and was told that would be fine, and that my service would not be interrupted as long as Sprint received payment within 5 days. I went to my Banks on line, and sent Sprint a payment for $93.58.and I save a copy of the transaction, also they would have had thair money on wed. the 17th but they couldn't weight, However without warning, Sprint disconnected my phone. I found this out when a friend called me on my land phone and told me he could not contact me by cell phone because my Sprint account was temporarily out of service. When I found out that Sprint had lied to me, so on aug.15th I contacted my Banks web site and cancelled the payment. I also returned the cell phone to Radio Shack. on the same day. (morning like 0930) when I received the phone from R/S they activated, and when I turned it in R/S deactivated it.
When I talked to Sprint representative on September 12, I was told that I now owed $146.61 and with no justification, if I did not pay that amount, they would turn my account over to a collection agency. I do not think I should be responsible to Sprint for any amount based upon the following: and they were told several times that the phone was turned in on the 15th of aug, but they don't care let the bill run, the last bill WAS on oct. 19th it was 352.15 also with no justification or bill brake down, now if that an"t a rip off I"l eat my hat.. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF CALCULATOR THEY ARE USING. AND NOW NOV 18TH I RECEIVED A BILL FOR 369.30 I CANT IMAGINE WHAT THE BILL WOULD LOOK LIKE IF I HAD A PHONE???
1. I agreed to pay the inflated amount ($93.58) and Sprint agreed they would continue my services; however, they shut my phone off** as soon as I got off of the phone land line, other wise I would still have a phone. For the second time, Sprint lied to me, so I cancelled the check I had sent. I was really upset because Sprint knew I needed a cell phone because of my medical condition, and they cut off my phone after promising not to.
2. I returned the phone to Radio Shack in perfect condition. I never used the phone,
3. Sprint has made repeated harassing calls to me, and when I answered their was nothing their often hanging up as soon as I answered the phone. (close to 50) and I do believe that sprint screwed my phone up by sending some voltage down the wire cant prove it but both, phone and answering machine, are shorted, all boxes, cords and contacts are ok Bellsouth repair man was out here on the 20th of sept. and said SO. and Bellsouth repair man was out here on oct. 17th and said the same thing, on the 19th of oct Bellsouth said if we come out their one more time we will charge you, so I went and bot new phones and all is well, my old phone was only 1 1/2 years old. and I would bet they will bitch because I don't answer my phone well they screwed it up. and if you know someone that wants to check my old phones out send me an address SPRINT PO. BOX 8077 LONDON KY 40742 AND THE NUMBER IS 1- 877-223-8736
