The advantage of having a blog…

…is that you can whine about anything you want. My whine today is about Sprint Local. Anyone who is stuck in an area served by Sprint Local would probably say I could fill this blog with whines about Sprint Local. They’re right. (When I have more time, I’ll write about my recent experience with my Sprint DSL service.)

Todays whine…
For the past two weeks, as often as 3 times a day, including Sundays, the phone would ring. Occassionally we’d get one call that rang once (short enough not to pass caller id data), then a few minutes later the phone would ring again. Caller ID said it was from 866-542-2401.

When I’d answer the phone no one was on the other end. Until today. I wasn’t very nice to the Sprint rep once I found out who was spamming me with calls, in part because in addition to the hangups from this number, we had several “spam calls” from people trying to sell us college degrees, insurance, and work at home jobs and I thought the call was more spam. (They insist we requested more information. Yeah, right we did. Or as my kids like to say “liar, liar, pants on fire”.)

And why were they calling me? To remind me to pay my bill, which I paid online days before.

BTW – if you want a college degree, try 602-954-9071. I’m sure they can set you right up.
