We were walking to lunch in downtown Chicago when an old friend, who he had bumped into that morning, called him... the conversation basically went like this: ... caller: '... so you work downtown?" friend: 'uh... yea..' caller: '/\/\ 'ere at?' friend: 'can you repeat that?' caller: 'where at?' friend: 'Sprint, on LaSalle' caller: 'Where?' friend: 'Sprint' caller: '/\/\'at? Sor'E, wh id you ay?' friend: 'SPRINT' caller: 'Wha'?" .... The irony wasn't lost on me and by the end of his call I was laughing at this 'commercial' that would never be.

With an all out effort to save subscribers, Sprint will stop at nothing to make you happy. My Air card was reduced from 60 to 51/mo. my plan is unlimited talk for 89/mo unlimited internet/chat/text/pictures for 10/mo. Then after all that, mention a popular corporation and ask for the employee discount for an additional 23% off! Nice! I just reduced my sprint bill significantly.

I don't even have a landline anymore because I just use my cellphone all the time. Change wrote:
