Battery cover nightmare...

[JQuill]

The point was to make a request to see if anybody will PM me to say "hey I have an extra"...which has just happened, so thank you, I have made use of the forums.


If anybody has created this exact same thread before, good for them, I need my own cover, and I'm making use of the forums. Not trying to be a **** or double post, but there have been no threads specifically saying "I need help, does anyone have a battery cover". And even if there was, I am now making my OWN request...I made a clear (though comical) request asking anybody if they have one.

***Edit: To everyone who is saying, just go to a sprint store...if any sprint store within 50 miles had one I wouldn't be posting this. I've been to every sprint store within 30ish miles of where I live and work and have called many more that are farther away. And have not gotten ONE positive response. This is all clearly outlined in my post and already we're getting multiple people saying "just go to a sprint store" or "why is this thread happening again" so just close the thread if it's gonna make people wet their pants. Somebody already pm'ed me...sheesh.

PS - I live in Boston.

Just a generally warm and friendly person. And helpful, too. Don't bother asking how I know, I can just tell!

You posted in a public forum a long rant on your frustrations and a short request for information on how to get a battery cover. And you got exactly what you wanted, answers. Members here shared that just going into a store worked for them. They explained that Assurion usually doesn't stock parts, especially for brand new phones, but rather order refurbs when needed.

Take a moment, a long, slow, deep breath, and relax. I mean, after all, it's just a battery cover that we are talking about here. I know it sucks when something breaks or is lost when it is ours, but getting angry and demanding is not going to help you in any way. We're trying to help by posting our experience, which is what you asked for. Nothing more and nothing less.

Thank you all for your extremely useful contributions......

And people wonder why Sprint gets such a bad rap for customer service? Sounds like a shining example of why people leave them and go to another carrier.

It sucks to hear about your situation and I'm glad to hear that it worked out from someone here on the board.

People are so quick to jump on you for venting a little? I don't get it.

My advice? When your contract is up, take your phone # and $$ to another carrier.

But, that's just my opinion (Although I've been there with Sprint before and it's why I left and went to Alltel.)
