In a couple more months I get a new cell phone. With Sprint, I think it's every 18 months I get a $100 credit towards a new cell phone. I want a BlackBerry. I need a BlackBerry. Ok, so maybe it's not a life or death matter, but it will make my life easier, and they're sooo cool.
So, I'm looking at the ones Sprint offers. They're crap. Ok, maybe not crap, but not the ones I want, either. Just about every other cell company offers a lot of others, but oh no, not sprint. So now I'm going to pick between two I'm not terribly fond of.
I used to have Verizon, but when we moved here they weren't in the area. So, I changed. I called Cingular, but they refused to use a Power of Attorney for my husband since I wanted them in his name and he was in Iraq at the time. (Although legally they are obligated to accept them.) I figured, "hey, they don't want my business... fine." So I went to Sprint.
My service has been okay. Not great, not awful. I mean, I'm not complaining, except for the roaming charged. Which are insane. And the call-in customer service. I called in to add roaming to my phone for a certain amount each month, and the woman didn't even speak English. The people working at the Sprint stores in town are rude, too.
But other than that, I have not one problem. Until now. So now I'm left trying to decide if I'll renew my contract and get a blackberry I'm not overly in love with, (I mean, the one I want is about $500... but the one I'll probably get is about $400 with a $100 discount, making it $300. If I'm making a major purchase that will last 18 months, what's an extra $100?) or changing the service I'm okay with. Decisions, decisions.
The point of this post? Well, there isn't really one. I just felt like rambling on about it.
