Sprint Business Accounts

Calling Sprint was fairly simple and it only took me about two minutes to get to someone, which was a relief. I didn't actually need typical customer service, but I was attempting to learn more about what they had to offer me and whether they would buy-out my current plan if I decided to go with their plan. Sometimes reading plan details can get confusing because there is so much fine print, so I prefer to talk to a real-life representative about what they can offer me. 

This is just one reason people might call, but judging that the first thing Spring wants is your phone number, I can easily guess most people who call are already Sprint customers. They are probably experiencing issues with their billing or have payment questions. Other people may need technical support for their phones, to buy more minutes for a pre-loaded plan, or simply adjust their plan if they need to drop or add a line. The fact that there are so many different reasons to call makes it even more impressive that it only takes about two minutes to get help. 

When I first called, I was greeted with a message that said: "Welcome to Sprint, now T-Mobile." It ran through a privacy policy and asked for my ten-digit phone number. I gave it, expecting it wouldn't work, and sure enough it asked me twice in a row but said it couldn't find me. This wasn't surprising since I'm not a customer yet, but it's a bit frustrating they don't offer an option for non-customers.

After getting through that step, it offered me choices: "For billing and payments, press 1. For account changes, phone upgrades or swaps press 2. Technical support press 3. More options, press 0." I pressed 2 in the hope that "account changes" would get me to someone who normally handles accounts and would be able to answer my questions.

This choice brought me to a new set of options: "To swap or upgrade a phone, press 1. Minutes used plan information, press 2. For payment issues, press 3. Plan changes, press 4. To disconnect service, press 5. To speak to a premier care representative, press 0." I pressed 0 and to my shock, it went straight to a customer representative without any wait time.

The rep's name was Alisha and she talked to me about my plan options, providing plenty of useful information. On the strength of this experience, I can recommend this phone number as being genuinely helpful for Sprint (or T-Mobile) customer service.
