Awesome, please do keep us posted. Think it's worth checking an actual sprint retailer or should I pull the trigger now? It's $175 after tax... got me thinking

EDIT: I think apple has seriously increased production on these so we're going to be seeing a lot more of them.

Sprint sucks big time. I placed an order yesterday and they called me to "verify" my information. They asked a bunch of useless questions (address, order number, etc) which I promptly answered over the phone. I then got an "order being processed" email.

This morning I got an order cancellation email with "we could not validate the information on your order".

Waste of time...

Got a phone call from Sprint yesterday, verifying my middle initial, name and birthday (uhhh, okay that's a bit overboard). Rep told me I'd receive a UPS tracking number soon.

Woke up to a cancellation email because "they couldn't verify my information."

Yeah, smooth operation you guys got there. Never, ever again will Sprint get a penny from me. What a joke of a company.

Yeah, there is a reason they are in 4th place. I had them about 10 years ago and their CS was a joke then also. About 2 years after I canceled (Yes, 2 years) I got a random bill out of the blue for $300 for a phone. After a half hour of waiting for a rep to pickup they told me it was for a phone I never returned which made no sense as I was not under any contract when I left them. Took a week and talking to multiple supervisors to get it cleared up. It's crazy how a company can stay so inept for so long and still be in business. I would not use Sprint service if it was free.

I just placed an order through them, lets see what happens. I have been having terrible issues with their Customer Service lately and it would not surprise me at all if I get a cancellation email as well

If you aren't a Sprint wireless customer, I guarantee they will be canceled. Some are saying they are discriminating based on this, claiming "your order couldn't be verified since you aren't a Sprint customer."

This seems very shady to me. I hope they know what they are doing here. Why even run a web store that sells to everyone then? Crooked Sprint.

And when they called me yesterday, I still don't know why they needed my middle initial and birthdate. In no way should they require that level of information for an order I placed using my verified credit card. Super sketchy and borderline harassment.

I am a sprint customer. Which is strange it never asked me to log in or anything so I wonder how they would know? Maybe cross reference my phone number or email address??

I got a phone call and just straight up asked them. I said I'm not a sprint customer can I order these. Got transferred around three times before someone said no but sign up for sprint and we will put the order through. I politely declined.

I ordered and they shipped them, now I have them as an extra pair.

If you think it's hard cancelling them, try returning them, lol! I've gone to two stores and chatted online and no one will take the return; it's absurd!!
