I’ve had sprint for a few years, I love their service and their deals. Their BS started about a year ago, when I had text mesaging. I had since disabled text. They would text me some bullshit advertisement to add a handset to my account. This would happen about once a month. I opted out to their ads. Now in the past couple months, someone from a 1800 number at sprint will actually call me and give me a sales pitch to add a phone to my service for 9.99 a month. The first call was a novelty, now they are calling me every two weeks. I tell them every time, no i don’t want it. The last time they called, the girl gave me the script pitch. I cut her off in the middle of it, and she just hung up the phone without saying ok goodbye or anything. Anybody got the sprint opt out number? ---

Instead of hanging up on them, tell them you want to be removed from their list. If it happens again, demand to speak to a supervisor and explain you’ll be filing a complaint with your state attorney general’s office, as well as the FCC. Outbound calling is a highly regulated industry and they can get in all kinds of trouble with fines if you ask to be removed from their lists and they don’t remove you. ---

I sometimes get texts from sprint, but it’s so rare that I don’t get pissed about it. You don’t have to threaten calling the attorney general, just talk to someone high up. ---

Or if your like me you can just talk to them about the most random and awkward things. And pretending your mostly deaf is fun too.
