Re: Sprint sent me another phone, now what?

Man, I's not expecting that huge of a flame fest.
I's posting to ask if there's a way to profit from a mistake from Sprint, it's not the right thing to do, but hell, Sprint is stealing from us by making us pay for tethering when they are not providing anything extra. And there are registry hack posted here to defeat that, is that stealing?

I never used Sprint before, so I cannot comment on their services as a whole, but so far it hasn't been all that great. I switched over from AT&T so I port my number over. They did NOT assign me a temp number, so I's out of a phone for a whole week while the porting is In Progress. I've called up AT&T, and they've closed my account the same day I sign up, I don't even know what the hold up is. This freaking day and age, no cell phone service for a week? I'm not even going to try and figure out how much money it's cost me for not having a phone. They did nothing to compensate me, all they've said is that's how long it is going to take to port a number, and they don't know why they couldn't assign me a temp number. And really, I just can't get mad at those customer support guys, I know it's not their fault and there's just nothing they could do and yelling at them is just gonna kill my brain cells.

So now, they send me another phone, to do the right thing, I've to call them up and if they want me to send it back, I've to print a return label or whatever the arrangement is, drive to the post office/UPS store, queue up wasting my time to fix a problem they create. I'd consider that stealing from me.
