Why does everybody hate Sprint?

When ever the topic of cell phone providers comes up with friends, family, co-workers etc. I mention that I have Sprint and they just laugh and say that Sprint sucks. I've had Sprint for 5 years and have never had the problems people say Sprint has. It's been nothing but great for me so I don't know why Sprint get's a bad rap. Are all the other carriers that much better than Sprint? or are people just stupid. I've only ever had Sprint so I don't know. Your guy's thoughts please.

Re: Why does everybody hate Sprint?

taught number one don't call people stupid that could be the reason why people say sprint sucks. I don't think they suck i don't think any company sucks its just a matter of location for some and for me all my friends have verizon so it free for lots of my services to them. So like its a matter of choice if you like sprint no worries your fine there they have nice plans and phones and coverage is fine. Answer complete aldo shutting down

Re: Why does everybody hate Sprint?

i think the main reason is because of the customer service, cuz there prices cant be made fun of seeing as how there probly the best in comparrison to any other provider.

Re: Why does everybody hate Sprint?

I have sprint and I love it. The ONLY time I ever have a problem with them is when I have to call customer service and I havent had to do so in a couple years. I always get heavily accented people and sometimes I just cant understand what they are saying. Now I just use email customer care if I have something to ask or a request for my MSL and they have never given me any problems.

Re: Why does everybody hate Sprint?

this has nothing to do with ROM upgrades so i'm sure it will be moved. The main thing in my area is their reception, area of data, etc is terrible.

I agree but disagree with the first for me when i was at sprint customer service was great with me and when my company switch to verizon well to be honest i did not notice a difference really i didn't. People either like Verizon or Sprint. Funny thing when i had sprint everyone around me would do the same thing they would laugh at me cus i was the only one with a sprint phone. I guess you'll find more sprint users in forum then around you in life. Thats the way it is and like i said who cares i have verizon my wife has sprint. I aint like i want a divorce cus your service sucks.

Re: Why does everybody hate Sprint?

I've had Sprint since 2004 and their customer service has been fine to me. My experience has been leaps and bounds ahead of VZW, who I had from 1998-2005

Re: Why does everybody hate Sprint?

My first cell phone was with Verizon. I will never go back to them after they kept billing me for a whole year after my contract was over. I had stopped service, but kept getting bills. Every month I would call in and tell them to stop sending bills, they said they would correct it, but I still would get another bill the next month. I didn't even have the phone anylonger.

I have had the best service with Sprint....cell service and customer service. Better than Verizon or AT&T (when they did mobiles before Cingular was bought out).

Re: Why does everybody hate Sprint?

I think the main reason people bash on Sprint who have verizon is because Verizon is more popular than Sprint.
I have NEVER had a problem with Sprint and I will always continue to use their service.

But little do the Verizon fanboys know, their phones are so crippled it's not even funny.
Look at the touch pros for example, compare a Sprint to a Verizon, which would you rather have?
