Class Action anyone?

Has been talked before, has been determined to be a dumb and non-worthwhile idea, SPrint has already offered compensation, and if you really want to sue someone worthwhile, sue the ILECs for causing the hardship upon Sprint and any other CLEC or DLECs that try and give you an alternative. Suing Sprint is not going to solve your problems, or the industry's or the public's for that matter.

You would not win that battle, when you signed up for service you agreed to there terms of service. I'm sure that in the terms of service it says that they are not responsible for lost wages.

Sprint offered compensation but I had to have my letterhead, business cards and all documentation for my business reprinted because I could not keep the sprint ion number although they said I could. Reprinting =$800.00, installing new phone service with Verizon = $350.00 in part because the sprint ion number was never with another provider. Earthlink DSL networking and connection = $325.00 and on and on. I got a compensation check as you say of 236.00 - it does not even begin to cover the breach of contract on Sprint's part - for my 2 year contract. Not to mention the hours of being on the phone with Sprint, Verizon and Earthlink about Sprint releasing the numbers so that I could switch. Do I sound angry - yes, I am.

I can understand that your angry, but that's why they have terms of service. Most people don't read them, but you should.

It is not the terms of service that are in question. It is the way Sprint has mis-handled the transition without a thought for taking care of it's loyal customers that went through the initial phases with the ion start up. Don't blame the innocent customer for Sprint's poor planning or unwillingness to see what needs to be done and do it.

I'm not blaming anyone, Sprint should have done a much better job at moving over there existing customers. What I'm trying to say is that a class action won't work.

It goes beyond that. Class actions don't compensate the class for the problems they have. If you really want compensation, a regular old lawsuit would have a better chance of getting you compensated. That said, that won't work either. In any case, you aren't up to $1000 yet, I don't see how it could be $10000.

Oh I remember that article... Further proof of stupidity in class action suits. Yes there are some good suits, and then again well most of them are just crud.
