Also I have called their CS dept 4 and 5 times in a row trying to get someone here in the states who i could understand.  I argued with a woman in their Cs because she kept telling me I was xcallimng from outside of the USA. I was on a freeway in Indiana?????? Last I I checked they are still part of the country. The solution was to turn my service off until I got back to Florida???? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jamie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 12th 2007 11:20AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Why Sprint Fired Customers: Insider's View]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/07/12/why-sprint-fired-customers-insiders-view/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/07/12/why-sprint-fired-customers-insiders-view/</guid><description><![CDATA[I "fired" Sprint for their rudeness, ignorance and clear violations of law.  Next step after my log of facts is complete is contacting my attorney.  If more people stepped up, Sprint would sink into the hole they're putting themselves in quicker.  <br>Verizon is my new carrier and they're great.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dot]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 12th 2007 11:31AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Why Sprint Fired Customers: Insider's View]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/07/12/why-sprint-fired-customers-insiders-view/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/07/12/why-sprint-fired-customers-insiders-view/</guid><description><![CDATA[If the "insider" comments are true, does it strike anyone else as odd that this would ONLY be a problem for Sprint and not the other carriers?  Seems to me that this was a cost-cutting measure, plain and simple and let the customers be damned.  I guess we'll see the For Sale sign on Sprint sooner than expected.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[don]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 12th 2007 11:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Why Sprint Fired Customers: Insider's View]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/07/12/why-sprint-fired-customers-insiders-view/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/07/12/why-sprint-fired-customers-insiders-view/</guid><description><![CDATA[I wish more companies would start to do this. I have worked in Customer Service for years and it just seems like the more you complain the more you get. 99% of the complaints and the people that complain have no valid reason or it's something SO minor that it's just ridiculous that they are even complaining about it. The sad part is the old saying “It takes one person to ruin it for everyone”. So If I complain about something valid, with out raising my voice or demanding to talk to a supervisor, I won’t get anything done for me. As soon as I start getting mad and difficult the red carpet gets rolled out. This is just wrong! We should refuse service to people like this and stop the madness!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 12th 2007 10:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Why Sprint Fired Customers: Insider's View]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/07/12/why-sprint-fired-customers-insiders-view/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/07/12/why-sprint-fired-customers-insiders-view/</guid><description><![CDATA[Your comments: Its interesting that so many of us get so upset at so little.  Its a matter of ego .. simply wanting what we want .. when we want it.  It doesn't matter wheather it's Sprint, or Jane and John Doe .. 50 years<br>from now as Jesus Meets The World Press we may come to realize that we all suffer from illusions of want that are not real.Click on www .
