| The plan is to tie you up with one company so completely, the hassle of changing four services at once becomes a deterrent for switching service and reduces their customer churn. That and the fact the bundled prices allow them to make price comparisons more difficult.
From their side it's a grand 'ole plan. |

1 edit | Go back to Sprint? NOT
I switched to TWC Digital Phone to get freaking AWAY from Sprint. No way I'd ever go back.
If you haven't gotten the memo, Sprint SUCKS.
-Thanks
Edit: I KNOW they're talking about Sprint PCS, but my point is ALL Sprint sucks, wireless and wired. |

4 edits | I have Sprint and I like it way better than AT&T and Cingular. I like the internet plans and haven't had a problem with billing. Spring itself isn't any worse than any other provider I don't think.
I just remember when Qworst started handling billing for their DSL MSN bundle (yes, I got suckered and hated myself for it daily)...let me tell you it was a royal nightmare to get anything MSN related taken care of. I'd be calling one then the other back and forth for days any time there was a problem and problems of some sort are inherent in these types of services.
I'd run from this and use someone else if this were how I had to get Sprint though. Too bad there are millions of suckers who will go for this and perpetuate this type of thing. I was one of them years ago. |

Most people don't want the bundled service, but they keep pushing anyway....I guess that is the new business model....all or none....

Re: hmmmm......
If you're signed up for services you can't afford to pay the bills for, you have bigger problems than getting your service turned off. |

Re: Not a good idea IMHO
Everyone wants to do triple/quad play - even if they have to partner up:
Eg. SBC
Cable TV - Dish
Internet - SBC/Yahoo
Phone - SBC
Wireless - Cingular (joint owned by SBC and Bell South) |

Re: hmmmm......
I can afford my bill, grumpy.  It was supposed to be a joke about the situation. I fake commercial for the general population. Besides...bad things happen to good people...as in the case of lay offs etc. One never knows!
Anyway, it was a joke. No need to get preachy. I have a sense of humor like that, ok? Spank me if you want. I'm on a roll today.  |

Re: Go back to Sprint? NOT
I have Spring and would never even consider changing. Not only have I been able to get connection everywhere I have traveled, but the connection is also very clear (getting connection in every city and along all highways is one of the main things for me). Its also much clearer then many of the other cell phones I have heard. |
