      I made a huge mistake when I added a new device to my ********************** account. Within a few days I contacted them to cancel service on that device and return the phone. Sprint told me they canceled the service and would send a return kit. Then they transferred me to ******** who tried to sell me a new account for the device and service I was trying to cancel. They never sent a return kit and now the return window has closed. For the past three months, Sprint has billed me for service AND device protection. When I bought the device I stated I did NOT want device protection. They told me it's automatically added and they were canceling device protection. Every month I have to contact Sprint to get a credit for the service and device protection charges! They tell me they are canceling service at that time, but there hadn't even been service on the device! I questioned why I was still being billed for service when I didn't even have it. I've been given so many different excuses: only the account owner can cancel service (I AM the account owner), they had no record of my request to cancel service, the agent already used up their credit allowance for the day, to name a few. This month, I was told I had to contact the previous carrier that held the phone number to cancel service! They won't credit my bill. I've told them I want return kits for two other devices and that I'm closing my account. They still have not sent return kits and now say there is no record of my request. Sprint/******** has provided the worst customer experience I've ever encountered in my life!

      Re:File ********, ***********************************
      Account *********, ***********************************

       To Whom It May Concern: 

      Sprint, now part of ******** (Sprint) is in receipt of the above-referenced complaint of ***********************************, filed on behalf of Sprint account holder ************************************  Sprint regrets any concerns ************************ has with her cancellation request.  We appreciate the opportunity to respond.  

      Our records reflect Mr. *********** Sprint account was established on October 20, 2015, and currently has one mobile line subscribed to our Sprint ****************** plan.  

      Sprint is committed to providing world-class customer service, and we stand behind our commitment with a 14-day Return Policy on all our products.  Our customers can return their device to the point of sale within that time period for a full refund (day 1 of the 14 days starts the day after activation).  Customers are assessed a tiered restocking fee based on the full retail price of the device for undamaged devices.  We will refund the device purchase price and any down payment, as well as any installment billing or lease payments made to date.  Customers are responsible for all service and usage charges, including any monthly recurring charges, out-of-plan usage, assisted support fees, and all associated taxes and fees.  This policy may not reflect the additional return policies of our authorized third-party dealers or retailers.  Further information regarding our return policy can be viewed on www.t-mobile.com/support/account/return-a-new-phone.

      All new devices come with a limited one-year manufacturers warranty through ********, Assurant, or Apple.  Sprint customers are also given the option to subscribe to ********s device protection plan provided by Assurant, Protection<360>, within the first 30 days of activating a new device.  Protection<360> provides Sprint customers with a cost-efficient way to protect their equipment against loss, damage, and wear and tear that is not covered under the provisions of that warranty.  We identified that ************************ subscribed to Protection<360> on his line of service ending in ****, until October 14, 2022, when the line was cancelled. 

      Upon our review of the account, we confirmed on July 24, 2022, mobile line ending in **** was activated on the noted Sprint account and a new 24-month Installment Billing Agreement (IBA), COS-*********, was established for an Apple iPhone 11.  Further, we confirmed ************************ requested to cancel service for the line ending in **** during her interaction with Sprint ************* on August 9, 2022.  Regrettably, because of a keying error, the line remained active.  

      Our records also confirmed on September 7, 2022, our ************* group applied account credits totaling $72.72, to offset the monthly service and Protection<360> charges assessed for line ending in ****. 

      During our conversation with ************************ on October 10, 2022, we provided the above outlined information.  We obtained authorization from ************************, the Sprint account holder, to cancel line ending in **** as of October 14, 2022, the last day of the billing cycle.  Please note, because we have no record of the Apple iPhone 11 device associated with IBA- COS-********* being returned, ************************ is responsible for the remaining cost owed for the noted device.  To bring closure to the matter, we offered to apply a one-time account service credit of $40.00 to offset a portion of the service charges billed as reflected on the September 20, 2022, dated invoice.  ************************ accepted our goodwill offer and handling of her concerns.  We regret any inconvenience to ************************* 

      Based upon the foregoing, we respectfully request that this complaint against Sprint be closed. 
       
      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me by calling **************.  


      Sincerely,

      Here we go again. You had reached out to me in the past, so Im hoping you can be of help again.I am so frustrated and upset. I had an arrangement made for October 5. I unfortunately didn't make what I needed to make. When I made the October 5 arrangement, I was told be a guy name ***** that I could reach back out if I needed a couple of extra days.After a lot of back and forth, I got in touch with someone named ***. She got me an extension for October 15, though I only asked for a couple days and told me to restart my phone to restore services.Restarting my phone didnt work so we went through some trouble shooting steps together. She couldnt figure out what was going on.I reached out to the corporate team on ********* ****** looked into it and told me that it was because they had to do a manual restoration. I told the finance manager (***) who I was talking to, and she flat out refused to manually restore services (after she promised that my services would be restored).Im so upset, so frustrated, and feel so lied to. I used to love working with this company, but its been nothing but a headache lately. I have to work tonight and I need my phone for work. I just need people to stick to their word. I just want you all to stick to your word.On top of all of this below, I got promised by the corporate team on ******** that I would only have to pay $299.95 after continuing to talk to them. You can see this in the screenshot. I ended up paying $300 after scraping the money together. Reached out to the finance team again to fix everything, they still refused. All they would send me is the dumb script. And they would say "we have to have the full past due balance." The issue is they can't go back on their words. As I've already said, multiple times.

                              Account *********, ***********************************

      To Whom It May Concern:

      Sprint,now part of ******** (Sprint) is in receipt of the above-referenced complaint of ************************************We regret any inconvenience that ************************** may have experienced with her payment arrangement concerns.  We appreciate the opportunity to respond.

      Sprint regrets any concerns *********************************** may have experienced with her payment arrangements.  We appreciate the opportunity to respond.  To begin with, the account was activated on July 25, 2019.  We show ************************** has two voice lines subscribed to our Sprint Essentials plan and two Apple Watches subscribed to our Unlimited Apple Watch plan.  Additionally, we show ************************** obtained an Apple Watch Series 5 via a 24-Month Installment Billing Agreement (IBA), WEB-*********, on June 14, 2020.

      As stated in our Terms and Conditions of Services, payments are due as stated on your bill.  Services may be interrupted if a customers account is past due.  We realize that situations may arise that prevent customers from making the required payment by their due date and we can assist with payment arrangements if available.  However, not all payment arrangement requests can be honored.  Additionally, the customer may be assessed a reconnect fee upon reactivation and late fees on past due balances.

      A review of the account shows ************************** spoke with our ************************ on September 5, 2022, about a establishing a payment arrangement on the account.  At that time, a payment arrangement was established but services were interrupted on September 7, 2022, because the account was super suspended.  A super suspended account is when we have received repeated canceled checks, extreme past due payments, or possible fraud over a period.  A member of management would only be able to retore services on the account.  We confirmed on September 8, 2022, ************************** contacted our ************************ and established a new payment arrangement that would keep her services restored through September 21, 2022. 

      On September 21, 2022, ************************** spoke with our finance department, and we agreed to extend her payment due date for her past due charges of $1,144.33 until October 5, 2022. 

      On October 5, 2022, ************************** contacted our finance department and asked Sprint to again extend her payment due date.  We respectfully declined the request because of multiple failed payment arrangements on her account.  As a result, Ms. ************ services were interrupted for nonpayment at that time. 

      On October 6, 2022, ************************** made two $300 payments on her account, and we established a new payment arrangement for her.  We were able to communicate and confirm this information with ************************** via email on October 6, 2022. 

      Based upon the foregoing, we respectfully request that this complaint against Sprint be closed.

      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly by calling **************.

      I'm being charged for a phone I have returned and mailed in the warranty phone over 2 months ago of a over 500 dollar charge on my account and I'm also being charged a 641 dollar fee for breach of contract and the phone is still active and being used so I don't understand how that works if I'm still paying the bill

      Sprint,now part of ******** (Sprint) is in receipt of the above-referenced complaint of ********************************  We regret any inconvenience ****************** may have experienced with her device return and refund.  We appreciate the opportunity to respond. 

      To begin, ****************** activated her account on July 29, 2014.  Our records reflect that she currently has one phone line on our ******** Unlimited Basic-********************* plan.

      Our records confirmed that ****************** returned a ******* Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G device on July 15, 2022; however, she was charged a $665.00 warranty non-return fee excluding the applicable taxes, which is reflected on her August 2022 invoice.  ******************** payment of $841.03, which included charges for her service plan and the non-return fee, was drafted on September 22, 2022, via our Autopay option.  On September 27, 2022, we applied a credit of $723.19 to ******************** account to offset the non-return fee and applicable taxes.

      We spoke with ****************** on October 6, 2022, regarding her concerns.  We advised ****************** that because the payment was refunded twice, her account reflects an outstanding balance.   ****************** remitted a payment of $803.19 that day and as a result, her account reflects a balance due of $112.84 for her normal monthly charges for the billing period of October 1 to October 31,2022.  ****************** accepted our offer and handling of her account concerns.

      Sprint has been charging me for a device that I returned in 2020. It was a refurbished iPhone X. Over $200 was wrongfully charged on my account in that span.Im requesting that Sprint covers the rest of the balance on my account for wrongfully charging me.This was fraudulent and if I am not contacted on this, I will seek legal action against Sprint for stealing my money on a device I gave back to them.

                              Account XXXXX1175, Sakala ********

      To Whom It May Concern:

      Sprint,now part of ******** (Sprint) is in receipt of the above-referenced complaint of Sakala ********.We regret any inconvenience that ******************** may have experienced with her billing concerns.  We appreciate the opportunity to respond.

      A review of the account shows that it was established on December 14, 2019, and canceled on September 29, 2022.  ******************** had one voice line subscribed to our ******** Unlimited Plus plan, and an Apple watch subscribed to our 500MB Apple Watch plan.  Additionally, we show ******************** obtained an Apple iPhone X 64GB via our 18-month Sprint Flex Lease Program on March 12, 2020,on lease COS-L-H180886724.  ******************** also obtained multiple devices via our 24-month Installment Billing Agreement (IBA) including: COS-********* for an Apple iPhone 13 Pro screen protector, SI phone case, and USB power adapter, on September 29, 2021, COS-********* for an Apple Watch SE on the line ending in **** on May 14, 2021, and COS-********* for an Apple iPhone 13 128GB on the line ending in **** on September 29, 2021.  

      Sprint launched the Sprint Flex Lease program, an option that provides qualified new and existing customers the flexibility to lease select devices for a lower monthly cost versus purchasing the device.  Lease payment varies by device and a down payment may be required and varies by customer and device.  With a ********************** Flex lease option, Sprint owns the device.  At the end of the lease term, customers can continue to lease the device on a month-to-month basis,cancel the lease and pay the Lease Device Purchase Price (DPP) (please note that this option is not available in all states) to purchase and own the device outright, return it to us, or return it to us and upgrade to the latest device. 

      Sprint Installment Billing Agreement (IBA) is a device installment agreement that gives new and existing customers an affordable option to activate/upgrade to a Smartphone,feature phone or tablet.  Customers simply purchase an eligible device with no or a variable down payment,depending on device, and agree to monthly installment payments for each financed device.  There are no service discounts for devices purchased through Sprint IBA and at the time of purchase the customer will be required to pay all applicable sales tax against the Suggested Retail Price (SRP) as well as any applicable down payment for any device being purchased.

      We confirmed that Ms.********* ****** lease agreement, which was provided to her at the point of sale, clearly and conspicuously disclose that upon the satisfaction of the lease agreement, if she does not return the device, she will be billed a month-to-month charge and if she chooses to keep the device, she will be billed the Lease Device Purchase amount, which is separate from the monthly lease charge once the lease is canceled.  The month-to-month charge is not applied toward the Lease Device Purchase amount;this is outlined in the Terms and Conditions of her agreements.  Once the lease is satisfied, for a limited time, customers can elect to pay the Lease Device Purchase amount via a nine-month installment option.  Customers can select this option and agree to the terms via the My Sprint app on their mobile device.

      Our records reflect the 18-month term for Ms. ********* Sprint Flex Lease Agreement COS-L-H180886724 was completed in November 2021.  However,we have no record of a request to close the leases, that the devices were returned, or a payment was made for the end-of-lease DPP.  Therefore, ******************** continued to be billed on a month-to-month basis, per the terms of her device lease.  Based on our review, we were unable to identify a Sprint billing error and consider the lease agreements to be valid.  Further, we confirmed Ms. ********* monthly service and equipment charges billed at the correct rates based on the plan and options she selected.

      Although the charges are valid, to address this matter, we applied credit of $321.43 to the account on October 14, 2022.  Furthermore, Ms.********* account is closed with a zero balance.

      We made multiple attempts to contact ******************** at the number provided in her inquiry to address her concerns; however, we were unsuccessful in reaching her.  We value ******************** as our customer and look forward to speaking with her if this matter remains unresolved.  We invite ******************** to contact us at the number provided below at her earliest convenience.  ******************** will be expected to provide the account PIN or the answer to an account security question when she contacts our office.

      Based upon the foregoing, we respectfully request that this complaint against Sprint be closed.

      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly by calling *************.

      I was quoted an all inclusive (taxes and fees) monthly rate for my plan, told I would receive buy one get one free phone. Since then, they have consistently charged me taxes and fees and continue to charge me for part of the cost of the second phone that was supposed to be free. The store manager helped us select phones, but we were told later, after billed, that the phones selected were not part of the special. The store said they would take care of the credit, they did not. They also added on a case plan for all of our phones that we refused. And each time I went into the store to complain about the fees, they said they would credit them, then did not, and refused to remove the care plan. Numerous times, I waited several hours in the store to see someone. To be told the issue was resolved, only to get billed again. Then, my ability to see my bill was removed when someone at ******** made my daughter primary on our account. I spent hours on the phone and over the message chat trying to get this and the previous problems resolved. Finally, I got my account settings restored and the care protection removed. They said they were escalating the issues and have it resolved within 5 days. They would call me back. No one ever called. I messaged several times. Each time, I was told by a "supervisor" the issue was still being resolved. It has been 3 WEEKS and each time they say they will call back in 24 hours, days later, no one does. So I try again. I'm exhausted and just want my refund if expenses billed that weren't supposed to be and my plan set like agreed.

      Hi, I am reaching out to complain about an un-adjustable roaming charge of 41 USD on my bill for duration of July 13-Aug 12 which should be reimbursed. This was clarified with Sprint customer service on chat with ********** on 8/5/2022 with ID = *******************. The first part of the adjustment was an amount of ****** USD which was related to previous bill and the remainder 41 USD should be returned. This was well understood and confirmed with ******* on Aug 5, 2022. She told me that the second adjustment must be done by Sprint on next bill but was never done. I would like Sprint to immediately reimburse the 41 USD un adjustable roaming charge which was done by misleading of Sprint customer service and selling us a package which was completely false and did not apply to our situation. Here are the phone lines on this account:************ 312-3407277 Best,*********************** ********

      To Whom It May ********

      Sprint, now part of ******** (Sprint) is in receipt of the above-referenced complaint of *************************** ********, an authorized user on ***** Pausers account.  We regret any inconvenience ******************** may have experienced when disputing international long-distance charges assessed to ***** Pausers account.  We appreciate the opportunity to respond. 

      To begin, Ms. ******* account was established on October 13,2019.  **************** currently has three lines of service subscribed to our ***************** Tax Inclusive plan. 

      As stated in our Terms and Conditions of Services, which can be viewed at www.sprint.com/termsandconditions, international long distance and roaming rates for voice and data services are additional and will vary depending on the device, selected services, and the availability of coverage.  With respect, we would note that customers should always visit www.sprint.com/international or contact our international department for current rates prior to traveling as they are subject to change without notice.

      Upon reviewing Ms. ******* account, we confirmed that line ending in **** did not have an international long-distance plan add-on while international calls were recently placed.  As a result, this line incurred a total of $41.00 in international long-distance charges, excluding taxes and surcharges, as reflected on Ms. ******* August 2022 invoice. 

      During our conversation with **************** on October 8, 2022, we provided the information outlined above.  Although we were unable to identify a Sprint billing error, as a one-time courtesy exception, we applied a $47.15 account credit for the international long-distance calls in dispute, applicable taxes, surcharges, and late fees reflected on the August 2022 invoices.  As a result, Ms. ******* account reflects a $142.09 account balance.  We regret any inconvenience to ***************** 

      Based upon the foregoing, we respectfully request that this complaint against Sprint be closed.

      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.  If you have any questions, please do not
      hesitate to contact me directly by calling **************. 


      Sincerely,

      Sprint phone service merged with TMobile recently. Since this merger, my data has barely worked. I worked Door Dash and Shipt over the summer and missed a TON of work and pay due to the lack of data. I could not navigate properly to the restaurants and stores. I missed so much work, our bills were late. I got a small $50 credit which is not even close to the amount of money I lost due to the loss of data for my job. The data still does not work and I also missed a lot of messages from customers over the summer. I would get them days later, making the customers angry since I did not get their requests. My friends tell me they get messages saying messaging is blocked and messages won't go through. Most people can barely hear me on the phone. This phone is new so I am trapped with TMobile until I can pay it off, however, most other companies won't even accept an unlocked TMobile or Sprint Phone since the towers are not reliable. I cannot get caught up with this overdue bill, due to all the service charges every time I call to make arrangements, and reconnect charges. I missed work because of the phone and then we got covid in September for over 2 weeks, missing more work. I need proper credit for the loss of data from July- September. I can't use it so I shouldn't be charged for it, I also need extra fees taken off and a manageable payment plan.

      To being, ************** activated her account on November 19, 2016.  Our records reflect that she has two voice lines.  The noted phone lines are associated with an Installment Billing Agreement (IBA) for their corresponding equipment.

      To Whom It May Concern:

      Sprint, now part of ******** (Sprint) is in receipt of the above-referenced complaint of ***********************.  Sprint regrets any inconvenience **************** may have experienced with his account billing concerns.  We appreciate the opportunity to respond. 

      In our effort to provide clear communication about our devices, features, promotions and pricing, Sprint publishes an overview and our retail brochures, displays, partner stores, and web site at www.sprint.com have not deviated from the published information.  In our continued efforts to provide all our customers with the best pricing possible, we cannot fulfill any verbal offers that deviate from the formal and approved published device and/or service plan pricing.

      Sprint Installment Billing Agreement (IBA) is a device installment agreement that gives new and existing customers an affordable option to activate/upgrade to a Smartphone, feature phone or tablet.  Customers simply purchase an eligible device with no or a variable down payment, depending on device, and agree to monthly installment payments for each financed device.  There are no service discounts for devices purchased through Sprint IBA and at the time of purchase the customer will be required to pay all applicable sales tax against the Suggested Retail Price (SRP) as well as any applicable down payment for any device being purchased

      A review of the account shows **************** upgraded his mobile lines ending in **** and **** by purchasing two iPhone 14 devices via 24-month Installment Billing Agreements (IBA) TM-********* and TM-********* on September 15, 2022.  Although we have no record of the free device offer **************** described, to resolve Mr. ******* billing concerns to his satisfaction, a member of our ************************ team added a recurring credit of $33.34 for the remaining 24 months on IBAs TM-********* and TM-********* on October 6, 2022.    

      We made multiple attempts to contact **************** at the telephone number and e-mail provided in his inquiry to discuss his account concerns; however, those attempts were unsuccessful.  We look forward to speaking with **************** and encourage him to contact us at his earliest convenience if he has any additional concerns. 

      Based upon the foregoing, we respectfully request that this complaint against Sprint be closed.

      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly by calling ************.

      I ordered an IPhone 14 Pro and after trying to activating it numerous time I called ******** on October 3rd. I spent a total of 3 hours on the phone being transferred from person to another then finally being told by a supervisor (*****) that a ticket (SD7931067) has to be submitted to the IT department and someone will contact me in 24hours. No one has ever contacted me and during this time i have no phone to use since my new phone could not be activated and my old phone was deactivated. According to the representative, she was unable to reactivate my old phone while they work on activating the new phone. It was recommended that I go to a physical store.On Oct 4th, I took time off work to go to a physical ******** store in the wind and rain only to have the staff at physical ******** store tell me they cannot activate phone because I am a legacy sprint customer.On October 5th, after not receiving a call back from ******** I called again and was transferred to tech department and after 30minutes the call disconnected. I called back again and have now been on the phone for 2 hours and 25minutes. I have been transferred to numerous reps and go through the same process over and over with no end in sight. I am still on hold while typing this complaint and was just disconnected again.The only help I received was a rep telling me that she can reactivate my old phone in the mean time. Surprisingly, since on my first call I was told that was not possible. Now, i am being told it can take 72hrs for a response to the ticket. I keep asking how I can send back this phone and they keep saying they need to see if they can get approval to return it. I'm a loyal customer of ********************** for ** years and extremely disappointed on how unprofessional ******** has been. I feel as if they sold me a device that they **** know how to activate and that they did not train their staff to troubleshoot. i do not trust ******** and believe canceling my service is my next option.

      Sprint, now part of ******** (Sprint) is in receipt of the above-referenced complaint *************************.  We regret any inconvenience **************** may have experienced with activating a new device.  We appreciate the opportunity to respond. 

      To begin, ****************** Sprint account was activated on September 14, 2000.  She has four phone lines that are subscribed to the Sprint ****************** plan.  She also has two mobile broadband devices that are subscribed to service plans that include 500 megabytes of data.  Our records reflect that **************** activated an Apple iPhone 14 on her phone line ending in **** on October 3, 2022. 

      We spoke with **************** on October 6, 2022, and she advised that her phone started working on October 5, 2022.  We apologized for the loss of service for three days.  We reviewed the account and determined that there was an issue with provisioning, which resulted in the delayed activation of her device.  In appreciation of ****************** business, we offered to apply a credit equivalent to one month of service once the October 16, 2022, invoice generates.  **************** accepted this offer. 

      We appreciate **************** for taking time to provide details of her customer service experiences.  We value customer feedback.  Please be assured that the quality of service provided to our customers is of our utmost priority.
