Guess they are finally valuing their service quality at zero dollars!! Having unfortunate experience of being a sprint customer, I wholeheartedly concur with the valuation of their service.

Hi! I have ten specific questions that only pertain to my individual circumstances. I epitomize laziness and my sense of entitlement is impervious to reason. Therefore it is the responsibility of anyone and everyone who reads this to find the answers to my questions.

Are you able to make and receive calls? Have you traveled to a stronger area. Try a sprint store. They are typically in a good location tower wise.
The signal is pretty good. I can hear well when dial *2. Customer service just confirmed its not activated. They want to run my credit again!

We could have given you high-level contacts within Sprint including Sprint VP Marci Carris [email protected] who could have resolved this simple, almost trivial, issue immediately if needed. In fact that is in the Wiki. I did not think that would even be needed but I see now it is.

Perhaps it is still not too late for that. Once you file an outside complaint, it may have to go to Legal - I am not sure.

They may refund your money and cut you loose if you go outside Sprint because it may be interpreted as an adversarial move.

Personally I would contact her and mention the BBB complaint and ask if she can still resolve it. Otherwise your relationship with Sprint may, sadly, be over, if they think you are being unreasonable. Hopefully they will be broad minded enough not to take that approach if it can be resolved easily. I think that will be the case.

I think you got some bad advice from someone on the best way to approach this.
.
If they need me to tell everybody by phone my SSN and DoB and run my credit multiple times, I can live w/o sprint. Never used them before.
Actually if I knew how its gonna go, I wouldn't even look into this 'deal'. One can earn more money by saving hours of time by dealing with their CS.
I have very good reason to file a complaint. Actually its sprint who might be in trouble soon, just don't wanna share too personal details here
And if sprint cuts smbd just for filing a complaint, I'm sure BBB will be happy to know about such crap. They have hundreds reviews on BBB with very similar experience to mine!
This is not a trivial issue btw. I already talked to their escalation team or smth like that with zero result

I read that the plan has Sprint Global Roaming, can someone tell me how to search this thread, I never learnt how to use that function properly. I want to search experience of people roaming. My mom is going to India, I want to give her iPhone SE with Sprint so she use it for calling Uber, and texting or calling us in emergency. Can anyone give me any tips, suggestions or any advice?

Thanks, Hope you have a nice day :-)

Please forgive me if this has already been answered in the previous 3200 pages of comments. I went to the sprint store and told them what i wanted to do, and purchased a sim card kit. Now customer service is telling me that i cannot use the brand new sim card that i bought at the store. They said I have to buy from them. So, I tried to activate online, but Their site will not allow me to proceed. Any advice?

Global roaming is described at.

https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/se...aming.html

You can use International Chat for any questions,

However, the rate for local calls is usually high so it is probably better to get a local sim card over there if she will be making more than occasional brief phone calls.

If you live somewhere Sprint works flawlessly, then great deal. In my town, this deal sucks. Heck, my house is mostly a Sprint dead spot.

Using what phone so that we can understand the context?

Also, do you have roaming enabled? (TMobile roaming is now free and unlimited on this plan).

Thanks for sharing.

I am unable to reach the number - 866.782.8777. Is there any other number to call Sprint to port in my number from Verizon ?
