They got rid of those plans now and they are just continuing to screw themselves. As long as I have my SERO plan, I'll be sticking with Sprint.]]>Aug 7th 2008 7:11AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/Aug 7th 2008 8:49AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/
And even as I'm trying to cancel my account, it never ceases to amaze me how terrible Sprint's customer service is. I'll certainly miss my SERO plan, but I won't miss Sprint at all.]]>Aug 7th 2008 8:50AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/I don't think that's a "saying"; it's a law of physics. But yeah, you got it right.

"That doesn't really compute, unless Sprint is actively suggesting that people are more likely to leave its network in the third quarter of the year -- but we obviously understand the need to come up with interesting and creative excuses for bad news when it comes to an ugly earnings report."
That is exactly what they're suggesting, and it's a common thing -- that isn't a "creative excuse", that's honesty. There is not a constant stream of subscribers and defectors through each quarter in any business, not just wireless telecoms, and not just Sprint.]]>Aug 7th 2008 9:09AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/Aug 7th 2008 10:59AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/Aug 7th 2008 8:08PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/Aug 7th 2008 9:27AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/Aug 7th 2008 9:57AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/
And the foreseen "uptick in churn" is due to the fact that Sprint knows they have a larger number of people coming to end of contract in Q3 than they did in Q2. They will continue to lose customers quarter after quarter as contracts end. ]]>Aug 7th 2008 2:03PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/Aug 7th 2008 6:45PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/07/sprint-loses-fewer-customers-in-q2-than-expected-but-just-barel/

Their phones were not the greatest, but they have been beating VZ to the punch lately and their phones have gotten a lot better !
With SERO there is no way that I am going anywhere, and I hate to see Sprint suffer... I think they are a great company that has made a few bad choices and needs to find a way to recover... I feel that they are trying !]]>Aug 8th 2008 8:38AM
