4 words. DO NOT DO IT! This is pertaining to "Sprint together with Nextel." Been customers of Nextel for some years and currently love the plans and we are on month to month for 1 phone and contract for another. Everything was fine until one day in January 2006. Here is the quick story: A representative advised me would give the 3 phones we have (2 on month to month and 1 on contract) a set discount going forward every month.

Oh yeah, the rep stated "notes are documented we will take care of this, the discounts will be on the next bill"-or so they said. Pretty funny when I called Nextel back, no record of discounts! Seems like everyone has this problem. In February 2006 somehow, I got in touch with a Supervisor who pulled the recorded conversation (you can request to have it recorded)between myself and the representative and honored what the rep stated to me. Still no discount on the bill. In between all this, my husband cancelled 1 of our phone lines and guess what? They all were cancelled in March 2006! Their response to me was "I guess your husband was not specific enough on what line to cancel." How more specific can he get when he told Nextel "Please cancel (XXX) XXX-XXXX." I guess that was not specific enough. Finally turned on the 2 phones back on and another Supervisor stated "We will not charge you the $250 cancellation fee because of the one phone on contract was cancelled." Let me get this straight, Nextel cancelled all the phones in error and she is waiting the cancellation fee? Mighty nice of her dont you think since NEXTEL cancelled all our phones? WOW. The lady that I originally spoke to in January 2006 who told me about this discount that will show up on my next bill, called my house and was very "in your face" to me an advised me "she does not lie, she needs her job" and "if you dont like Nextel, go to another company." Excellent customer service if you ask me! I spoke to (no joke) 23 different service reps who say "I am so sorry for you inconvience, but this is not my department." Wrote letters and e mails because of bad service and was told "we will call you back if we feel it is necessary." Moral of the story, no one can help you at Nextel.

    Your absolutely right, anytime you call customer service and lodge a complaint always get the CSR's name and the time you called. Most customer service centers these days are being run by third party companies overseas and the CSR's don't care. They don't care if you stick with the company or go someplace else.

    I hate sprint! I really wonder how they stay in business with such horrible service. I was transferred 8 times to connect for internet service. Nobody seemed to know about he sony and sprint deal. I was asked 23 times if I had an account, NO! I was trying to activate, thank god this is not for me, b/c I would never do business with them. I just hope I do not have to call back once I get this stupid thing taken care of! I HATE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!

    wow I can't believe everyone has had such bad luck with Sprint. I really have nothing but good things to say about them. The only negative that I have is that everytime I do call customer service I get someone who doesn't speak english very well so i can't understand them. Since that's been happening I just go to the store. Luckily though I've only had to go in once!!

    Nextel is AWFUL!! I have been with them 2 years and just started having problems after I called at 8 am to get my over charged bill straight they transferred me 8 times and I finally got off the phone 2 hours later with nothing resolved I am going to the store and paying the 200 to terminate my contract. Apparently you don't need to speak English or have a high school education to work at Nextel!

    i HATE nextel customer service. everytime i order or change something on my account it is wrong and i spend my 2 hour lunch on the phone getting transfered to 10 different people including supervisors. and it does not matter if you get their name and employee id number because when you call back and give that information you are told "oh well that person must work in another office or dept and i can not help you with what they told you". then when they tell you they are going to give you a credit on your account it never shows up. i even verify like 20 times that it is noted in my account and am told yes but mysteriously it never is in my acc ... more >>
