cancelling this one modem is almost not worth what i got on ebay for the 4 that i received. it seems that sprint really screwed up on this promo as none of the CSR know that this promo even existed. i get the same speech everytime i call...'im sorry but i cant help you with this account, you'll have to call your sales rep'. i have called my local office at least 3 separate times now and stayed on hold for hours. 2 times the rep wasnt at their desk so i left a message and my calls were NOT returned and the 1 time i got through she said she cancelled it for me (i find out later that the account is still active and was not cancelled!).

we need to somehow get in contact with someone at corporate for the following reasons:
1. the fact that we cannot find a way to cancel our accounts
2. the fact that we all have spent many frustrating hours on the phone with CSRs
3. the fact that WE SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED AT ALL FOR THIS PROMO!

just my 2 cents...actually its my 2 dollars and 17 cents thanks to sprint

I haven't gotten the bill yet, hope they're not gonna try to screw me over. But then again, all they have is my school address, so I'm not too worried.

i would definatel try to sort this out no matter how insignificant the dollar amount. Phone companies are notorious for hitting your credit report with that stuff.

I know that it sucks that you guys are getting charged for these things, and I know that this is probably out of place........but if you guys are all not using the modems, is there anyway that one of you woul dmaybe sell one to me for cheap?

I already have a sprintPCS phone with free wireless web included in the service plan (I live right next to a Sprint PCS call center), and I thin I could put one f these modems that you guys aren't using to good use.

So what I am saying is that if you aren't using your modem, and you wanna get rid of it....PM me, and let me know how much you want for one.

If someone would just give me one...that would be awesome too!
