  • i really didn't want to switch over to verizon.
  • i vaguely remember someone in their sprint store telling me a while back about some new technology to help my reception.
  • did they know anything about this? because i really really don't want to have to switch to verizon.

so i said all that, and she checked my records and said that because i'd been a customer since 98 they could do it all for free! and no monthly. maybe also because i'm on the unlimited plan, although she didn't mention that. ymmv.

My husband and I have had AWFUL service at our house for the past 14 or so months. We had just purchased, our previous residence was awesome and we had great service. At this new house, we drop calls all the time and have one small section of our couch in our house we can sit and maybe get one bar. I called using the above information and because we are long time Sprint customers (since 2002) with an account in good standing, he offered to send us one free of charge, no monthly fee, yadda yadda yadda. I didn't even mention the technology or Airave by name. He offered it after I dropped the "I really don't want to have to switch to Verizon" bomb. That usually works. But, we honestly do have little to no reception at home and I did actually look up Verizon costs today. Glad I made the call. I hope it solves our issue.
