Where'd you read about this?

If it weren't for my 25% discount on my bill every month, I'd go to Verizon or something. Hey, the Handspring Treo 300 looks sweet, doesn't it? :)

if not.. what discount are you getting?

My company was offered a discount by SprintPCS for being a provider of services to them. Same with Verizon, Nextel, etc. SprintPCS' discount just happens to be the largest... and free lifetime wireless web too. :) I want the Treo 300 pretty bad - but I doubt I could get it for any discount. :frown:

Anyway, I think SprintPCS' customer service sucks @$$. I can't count how many times they've fu@k'd up my bill. Even their website is "down for maintenance" more often than not when you go to check minutes there.

if you work for the government you get a 15% discount i think (mom, dad, and myself all have this discount)..
i know my bro goes to John Hopkins and he gets an 18 % discount...
some schools have contracts w/ sprint.. so if you go to college, check it out, ya never know....

I'm paying 31.50/ month (before tax) for:
600 anytime mins
3000 night/weekend minutes
nighttime starts at 8 PM (instead of 9)
1st incoming minute free...
yadda yadda yadda...

if i wasnt gettin such a great deal id drop sprint in a second.. they've horrible customer service and they screw up the bills too much.. i do get good reception most of the time so i cant complain about that though...

Yup, that's why I keep them even though their service sucks.

And they threw is some free stuff like wireless web, free sms, and calls to canada.

Same here--25% discount. But the "free" wireless costs a fortune if you USE IT cuz it uses minutes, so the "free" is bullsh!t.
I'm itching for when I can cancel Sprint, but I have to beat $44.99 (after discount) for 600 anytime, 5400 n/w, 1000 pcs-pcs, etc...

Wow, that's just crap, if it's true. I always used to check by dialing *4. It was quicker and more convenient than logging into their web site.

I'm glad I switched to Verizon. Not perfect, but I've had very few problems, and they have responsive customer service reps who answer the phone with no hold time almost every time.
