Case Study: How Sprint Ruins A Customer Relationship

Sprint sucks.

When we tried to cancel our service, they insisted on billing us for the whole cycle, even though we were cancelling mid-cycle. Fine.

Our last bill just added insult to injury.

  1. The salutation: “Hello! It’s your anniversary. You have been our valued customer for 6 years. Thank you.” We’ve actually been customers longer, but previously under Dina’s name, not mine. A bit insulting when they’re telling us this as they milk another $50 out of us.
  2. Not only did they bill us for the full cycle. They started another cycle and billed us for one day of that too. Sure, it was only $3.50, but the implied corporate flipping off your “valued customer” was maddening.

We told Sprint that we’d be back in 2 years. They seem to have done everything possible to make sure we go with someone else when that time comes.
