I know some of yall used to work at sprint, tell me if this sounds weird.
so I just moved from Lubbock to Houston, went to a store to change my number, and they said they couldn't change area codes, and gave me a number to call. I called the number, and the person tells me the plans are slightly different, the houston plan has 50 more minutes than my current plan. everything else is the same. then they proceed to tell me that I have to sign a new two year agreement in order to change my area code. i'm sittin here like... WTF. it's a damn value in some database table somewhere. i'm not signing another damn agreement so i guess i'll just keep my lubbock phone # until my current plan is up. |

I kept my number all through college (Houston #) and stayed on my family's plan simply because it was cheaper...
I went into the Sprint store and tried to get a new plan with the same # but they said they couldn't do that... What?! I can go to Cingular or Verizon and they'll give me my same number. Stupid. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

yeah i'd have done that except we didn't have cell phones in high school
honestly the FCC needs to lay the smackdown on these damn cell phone companies. the rates are terrible, and all the agreements they get you into are BS too. same thing with dish, etc. what i dont get is how cable TV is always so easy... go to the cable tv store, add/remove service, pick-up/turn-in your box, get prorated, no contract, etc. |

i broke my phone a while back, been waiting on them to send me a replacement. got tired of waiting, and took an older phone of mine in to activate. they tried last time to tell me that in order to switch phones, i had to renew my 2 year contract. told them today in my exact words "i'm not signing your 2 year contract, i know it's bullshit, just turn on this phone and i'm out of here" she was pissed, didn't say a word, but activated my phone and was gone.
