No offense to any employees here on xda, but wow. Some (97.996%) of the people that work there are clueless.
Walked in asked for the samsung epic touch dock, they talked back in the office about it. Came out and said this for the epic touch.
turns out no. not even close
Moral of the story, sprint, hire xda members.

I tried to apply for a sprint job, but **** I never get pass the stupid personality test or whatever it is. I know way more then most sprint employees, but don't get the chance because of that stupid test.
Honestly, customer service related to anything (not just technology) is just flat out pathetic anymore.
I've gone to an autoparts store where the guy knew less about cars than my grandma.
There's no money in customer service so there's no desire to be good at it.
Dont agree with that people should be working extra hard considering the state of the economy.

Hmm?
I didn't say that, just that it has gone down hill significantly.
Sprint's representatives can be pretty ridiculous.
I once heard A female manager at a local Sprint store related processing power to data speeds for the Evo.
Something of the nature of "The data is faster on this phone over others because it has a 1 ghz processor"
You could clearly tell she had no clue what a processor was. Much less any relation to data speeds.

meh I made 14 a hour at charlton inc (comcast/timewarner/charter 3rd party calling center)
But that was because of commision and I busted my ass for a whole year then the company got bought out and laid off all sales/customer service reps making over 10 a hour and went through a temp agency to get mindless morons with no work history/education or had a major criminal charge...
Without a proper education (college/internship) you wont make much more than 25k a year
Unless you know someone ;p

I emphatically disagree. I was raised with a solid work ethic of doing your best no matter what job you have. I have a bachelors in Finance but work in crappy C.S making pay I'm ashamed to even say, but do I do it half-arsed, no.

Those personality tests are not that hard... The hardest ones are for at&t and best buy.. All you do is answer as honest as possible.. Most people say answer with "strongly agree" or "strongly disagree" but some of the questions are borderline and answering like a machine from irobot *(the ones that are 3 law "safe") will send a flag to the employer... And they will know if your being honest or not
But yes I agree, I commit my self to my job and try to learn something new every day (I suffer from sever ADD) so anything to keep me active weather its improving or learning helps... Rather than doing a half ass job and slacking off for 8 hours
*disregard the analogy if you never seen irobot

Really wanted to flash this ROM but didn't want to lose the hacked hotspot. A co-worker told me he got a free 30 trial, so I thought id try. After hearing "oh no we cant do that" twice, I was transfered third time to Alex.
I was super polite and asked like I probably wouldn't get it. He asked me if I had tried it before and I lied and said no. Long story short, he gave me 3 free months-until March 14.
In my experience, being very polite makes people MUCH more willing to help you.

I can vouch for this as well. I had one of those 3g USB internet things and it was terrible. Half of the time it was unusable. They let me out of my 2 year contract a year early, waived the ETF's and reset that line so I could get this phone at new 2 year price. I killed them with kindness and they took care of me.

Why is this a shock or surprise? Have you never worked in customer service?
Everyone should be required to work in a customer service type of job for the first 6 months of their working life. It taught me a lot.
When I was in High-school I became the assistant manager of the place I worked and I'd bend over backwards to help customers who had issues, but were nice. The assholes got little or nothing.
When I worked in a call center the assholes got put on hold while I went pee or ate a snack, and then the call would "drop" LOL, good times.
I only wished it worked the same for me with Charter Cable and Dish Network. I have gotten the run around a few times from them. I have nothing negative to say about Sprint. Never a dropped call, 4g since launch day of the OG Epic and great customer service.

Just received my bill from Sprint today. It has a curious statement below the previous balance. It says Dec 14 Discretionary Sales Credit -$25.00!! The tech that gave me the trial hotspot gave me $25 off my bill as well without telling me- what a pleasant surprise after spending so much $ over the holidays. I wish I could tell his supervisor how great a job he did and how happy I am.

its not new if its "blacklisted" its call buying it used, you would not have this problem if you bought it new.
either way eventually tmobile gonna track you down. keep us updated if it work
i also was scamed i bought a amaze from Clist called Tmobile with imei # and thy said it was good.i used the phone for 3 weeks, then i droped it broke the screen and call insurance to get it replaced thy said the phone was reported lost and will not replace the phone. the insurance company had the phone black listed but tmobile did not.
so now im stuck with a amaze with cracked screen that still works on tmobile but is black listed with insurance.
moral of the story is you have to call tmobile and asurion with the imei # before you buy a phone from someone other then Tmobile
Return it and get your money back. You have been scammed.
It seems that this kind of thing is happening more often since T-mobile started blacklisting phones that are reported list or stolen. Also they are blacklisting phones that have been purchased on a payment plan and the owner terminated the contract and never paid for the phone or the ETF.
Good luck

I personally stopped trading/selling phones on cl because there are just too many kids and immature people to deal with. plus now with all this there is no guarantee that you are getting a quality product. Just contact the person and demand your money back. Tell them you'll take them to small claims court. You have evidence from Tmobile and Ashton that the phones were reported lost/stolen. And you were not aware of that at the point of sale.

One way to protect yourself is checking the database at http://www.checkmend.com/us
Ask the seller the phone IMEI before buying. If the phone is not legit you will never hear from the seller.

Sucks that it's pretty much not remotely safe to buy phones from craigslist anymore.

I'm not trying to be negative but all the information is out there. It just takes a little time to read what you are actually signing and agreeing to before just blinding putting your signature down and giving out your info.
Even though they say it is unlimited, it is still technically true. You can still eat as much data as you can, but after you go over the subscribed plan, you get throttled. Yea, the speeds suck, but technically you can still 'use data'. This is actually not an uncommon practice for major ISPs looking get a few more bucks in forcing heavier users to upgrade. This is no different.
That is true but that does not mean it's right. You are basically giving companys the o.k to use clever wording in ads and not live up to there word.

Not quite. When it has become an industry standard to do, you basically have no alternatives. Sprint? I guess that is one 'exception' but with everyone migrating to them it clogs them up just the same with an different type of throttling that is caused by other users instead of the company itself.
No one told them it is ok to define 'unlimited' for us, but when they all took the same stance, it's hard to shop around and pick someone that doesn't because when you find someone that doesn't throttle, they'll probably have even worse service than you would get from t-mobile.

Just wondering, when does advertising or politics not deploy this tactic? Their goal is to sell you something rather to make you want to buy it. They don't need our OK to do this. It would be more surprising if they didn't do this actually. Right and wrong really don't usually have much impact on marketing as long as there is the slightest bit of truth imbedded in the statement. We don't have "4g" either much less "bottomless unlimited 4g" we have an allotment. Not trying to be argumentative just pointing out a realistic perspective on how things are marketed to us.

This is what happens when people abuse the system. Yeah I agree being throttled sucks but when u get service you agree to that. No need to complain about it later. In the end everyone's prices go up. I'm actually kinda happy they patched it up. If u want more data, pay for it.
I'm not sticking up for T-Mobile. All I'm saying is that we as customers agree to the terms they set forth which includes throttling after going above allotted data.

Hey question for all you under sprints employ. I am looking into a position at a local sprint store they are looking to fill. Sales/tech rep or whatever. I was wondering if any sprint guys would give me some info. Do you enjoy working for sprint? How is the pay? Whats an average paycheck between hourly and commission? How do they treat you? Is it hard to go to shool while working there? (Im in college) I have a fairly stable job right now but it doesn't pay very well and I hate it. The last time I was in the sprint store I knew twice as much about phones as the one guy and was helping customers around me. I think I would thoroughly enjoy it but am looking for the inside scoop...

This is an indirect store so sprint does not own it. We are like a liaison between customers and sprint. I'm treated very well and believe it or not, sprint does a nice job answering questions I have about sales, tech, markets or anything. I make 9 an hr plus com. And sprint has the my rewards program as an incentive.

Sprint tech is an awesome job, if you know what you are doing. Also, the clientele of each particular store greatly affects how content you are in the job. I worked at an indirect dealer for many years. I loved it at one location, survived at another, and finally told the populace to stick their phones up their asses at the last one.
Most of the time people are cool, but other times you have ignorant assholes who can't understand how dropping their phones in a lake, IS THEIR FAULT. Sprint doesn't owe you the world because you pay for a service millions of others do.
Good luck in your endeavor, the only thing I can advise you, is to treat every person the way you would expect to be treated.

The store is a smaller one. There isn't a whole department of techs like the larger one I went to. Its usually about 3 guys and the manager so its more like sales/tech...

As a tech, its been the only job I haven't grown to hate after a year lol.
I really do love it. Could the pay be better? Hell yes. But the benefits are great. Do I feel under appreciated as a tech? Of course. But silently knowing you keep the wheels moving is gratifying. The only part that gets on my nerves is inventory. Techs are solely responsible for that, and it's just tedious. But the actual repair aspect is cake.
The ability to get free phones, whether it be through the advocate program or from the OEMs holding events where they give them away, is the best part, if you're a geek like me. I got my E4GT for free 3 months into the job, so I was pretty much hooked after that lol.

Its a 6 store franchise I applied for. I mentioned employment in store and got interviewed on the spot. Crushed the interview. Looking really good. Thanks for all the insight. After the interview I am pretty pumped about it. It should be a huge upgrade from my current job.

Always remember - honesty is the key to success (and happiness in my experience). Honesty with yourself above all else. Apply this to your work & personal life, and you will succeed. Congrats on the new employment!
Do you guys find there is a lot of fluctuation month to month of your commission numbers?

Very much so depending on surveys. We are graded as a whole, so if one guy gets a bad survey there goes commission out of everyone's pocket

Its okay but our manager pretty much hates technicians because he says they don't make money for the store like sales reps do... (sigh)

Then he does not need to be manager! That tech depending pin how good he or she is might make a difference in return customers. My local repair center has a great tech and lousy customer service.

My friend is on contract on T-Mobile he got the note 2 a month ago and he told ordered two replacement refurbished note 2's then he's done with T-Mobile he ain't sending it back or nothing just done paying it and keeping the phones. I told him he can get into trouble for that he can right?? Or does it just mess up his credit? He did it three years ago and nothing happened besides probably bad credit now.
I know a lot of people on Craigslist be getting new phones without battery and back piece and I once bought one and it wouldn't read my Sim card because he never paid it I'm guessing.
The phone will black listed, side note I exchange phones a bunch due to defects or little things Tmobile is becoming much more strict about what they will exchange abs are now charging $5-$20 to process exchanges I wouldn't be surprised if a bill is coming his way soon

They may bill for a full cost of a replacement phone. I used to work for a t-mobile dealer LONG time ago (9 years ago) and they did the same thing. If we had a customer walk in, we process an exchange on their behalf. But we tell them if they don't send original phone back, they will be getting a large bill. And few people did. T-Mobile does work with them, and will take the charges out if you return the phone.
The phones will be blacklisted. If he sells them the new owner is screwed. Maybe he is Ok with that. If he is, find another friend as this guy proved himself to be a slime ball.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

You ever see "bad esn" in an ebay auction description for a cell phone...that is what your buddy's phones will have. They can pretty much can be used as a wifi mini tablet, unless he is able to flash the phone to another gsm carrier. Regardless goes against his credit also.
Not true T-Mobile uses sim cards you can do what ever except. For warranty. I know a bit about this subject but the problem with things like this is once people start talking in a public forum than can screw everybody.

Again, not true. The phone WILL be blacklisted and won't work in the country unless you take it overseas maybe. How do I know? I deal with craigslist people and ebay listings for a meager living.
Phones will be blacklisted with Tmobile, Simple mobile and AT&T he will also be billed $600 for not returning the defective phone. The phones they send him will be factory refurbished which means it's just the phone there will be no battery, battery cover, Spen or charger.

What happens if he doesn't pay that?

What are you trying to figure out here?
If T-Mobile will send the police knocking if you don't pay?
Its probably the same as all of the pathetic dead beat people who think its OK to steal and don't think they should have to pay bills like the rest of us.
He'll have bad credit (which won't matter to him because he's apparently OK with stealing things anyway) and he'll get away with it for the most part while the rest of us law abiding citizens will continue to pay more for goods and services and more to cover for selfish people like this!!

He's clearly talking about himself lol I love it when they get on here and do this. It's like the typical "dad I need your advice..... I have a friend who's......" when all along he's talking about himself. Smh stop stealing and taking advantage of warranties.

Says the guy who's associated with a thief! Right, so scums like him can benefit a small portion whole the rest of us decent people pay for it! Then you'll be back here complaining about how much the deductible is for a flagship phone.

What you're talking about is theft and fraud. You're not going to get any help on criminal activity from anyone here. Nobody is going to give you advice on how to avoid going to jail. In fact, simply talking about it could implicate you for aiding and abeting and now there is proof all over the internet. Good luck.
