Also there are a couple other companies that get big discounts:
-AutoZone 24%
-US Postal Service 25% (not 20%)
-TOPS & Wilson Farms 24% (listed under their parent company AHOLD)
-Hospitals are listed under VHA which gets a 23%
*Discount amounts change all the time…so it doesn’t hurt to call and see if your company is eligible for a discount
i’m on my third sanyo since i signed up fairly recently. they suck. sprint sucks in general. and no i have no service plan or anything, sprint replaced my phone under the normal policies. i complained about cingular forever, but my sprint quality is just as bad.
right. i’m in nyc and 95% of people down here aren’t happy. between the tall buildings and other interference, you just can’t do a good job at getting signal to a lot of places and there are bound to be dropped calls. you think if people got good customer service they’d be happier, but i can’t think of a single cell service provider that says “our customer service is rated 5 stars” or anything to that effect. like i would have been happy with cingular if the customer service person knew how to hit “OK” at the end of a computer request so that when i had a problem it would get fixed instead of recording in the computer as “customer hung up before problem could be resolved”… which is why i had to pay $450 a month for 6 months until they could fix my account.
sprint isn’t costing me nearly as much money but i do get frustrated by dropped calls and missing text messages and lack of service because i expected all that from cingular and thought i’d be upgrading quality by downgrading away from GSM. and not to mention i’ve never had a PCS clear phone call. it’s very hard to understand anyone. when i had sprint years ago, at least the calls were clear, even if they did drop a lot.
Like I stated before, they only do random checks i.e. one in maybe every 100 people that apply for the discount everyday.
Chances are that no you will probably not get caught, however it is a crime and if they like they could prosecute. (probably not just stating the facts)
anyways I don’t have excel on this computer, but I will post the full and updated node list tomorrow while at work.
you guys know it is off the entire bill, so if you have a family plan, it is off both or up to all 5 phones.
and to the people bitching about the coverage in this area(wny), do a prl update. Just press *2 from your phone ask for a prl update and then they will say ok, then call back about 5 min later and it will update over the phone. This will get you the new towers.
