Who Called Us

this number is for clear breeze solutions a pure financial scam billing for 990 for software an truly bad customer service.

I wish these call would stop

This is Sprint trying to sell additional cell phone services. You can ask them to stop calling, but they won't. So I suggest entering this number into your CELL PHONE phone book and setting a "Custom Ring" of "none" or "silent" if you have that option. That way they can call all they like and you'll never be bothered by them again. If Sprint has something really important to tell you then they can leave a message on your voicemail.

Don't call if you don't have anything to say

i got the call thay said thay was calling about my plan. i started to say i dont wanna change it and was hungup before i said it talked to sprint thay said would not have been them and not to give the caller any info thay call again.

is there anyway to block this number? I get a call at least once a day from this 86 number

Sprint for those of us who has an account...want to know if we would like to add a line, or upgrade in any way....when does it end?

This call has been coming into my cell phone for several weeks now and at least 3x a week. Its very annoying!

fishy call if really from Sprint.

Since upgrading my phone I've gotten calls from this number off and on for the past 2 months. I've tried to answer twice but there's no one on the other end. Another website lists this as some group associated as Sprint making marketing calls but I don't know.

They called offering me an additional line for my Sprint account. Claimed the call wouldn't affect my anytime minutes but it was from an 866 number. Once I denied the additional line they pestered me for a laptop connection card. The woman had a thick accent and was difficult to understand at times.

Twice in the last few days this number has called my cellphone. No caller ID just the phone number appears. I chose not to answer. No message was left on my voice mail during either call.

Called the number back - it's Sprint - and I joined the do not call me with promotions list. I had to do the same about 6 months ago, and the calls stopped for awhile. They do switch numbers on you, so it is advised to listen to the message and opt out of the call list - otherwise they will absolutely harass the hell out of you. I don't know another company that treats its longstanding customers as badly as Sprint - they are also famous for handing out great promotions to new customers and refusing to give same to their existing customers. That said, I can't seem to find a service as good as theirs.

I have a Sprint phone, 1st time I received a call from this # was today, looked it up and here I am ,hopefully they stop, from what I have I read here, I will not go on there DNC list due to increased callbacks, thanks info the info pple

Got about 12 calls from this # now and to the person who said sprint doesn't call their customers i've gotten lots of calls about upgrading my plan from sprint. so if thats what they are telling you then BS I don't trust them at all.

Sounds Like there is an issue with this Number i don't answer it. but it really needs fixing.

I called back - it is a promotional call from Sprint to add a line

I googled the number because I don't received 866 numbers on my cell. I just let it ring.

As many times as I've received a call from this number, this is the first time I've gotten through. Supposedly, this number is for Sprint and it is for "customers looking to buy a new phone or add a line". I have received this call more and more as the end of my contract nears this January.

After calling Sprint customer service 3 times and spending over an hour on hold during the course of those calls I finally got ahold of a supervisor that seemed to care. I referred him to this website. He confirmed that it is Sprint making the calls and is supposed to be escalating the resolution of these harrassing calls.

Same as others reported - it was sprint trying to sell a second line.

Same thing as all the rest. unknown caller, no message, constantly calling

Hey me too. But it was the other way around. My hubby was all excited. Then they call at like 10:00 pm and I told them he was sleeping. They instructed me to wake him right away so he could pay for additional fees b4 the offer expired. What an idiot. I played along to get more info. And the stupid hag tried to tell me we would not recieve the offer if we did not except it when she called us. And also that she did not have a # to call her back on. This way the call is free for us. Hello if she really knew all of our acct. info. she would know I don't pay long distance. I hate these a- holes. The sad thing is that my husband was actuallygoing to pay for this with his debit card. Glad I answered to question them.

I received numerous tel calls from 866 4633021 and got suspicious when they told me that my husband ordered a new phone for me ( he did not)but that I was not eligible for some additional services etc.etc.
Called Sprint this morning, after the usual tel call ( and after sending the guy who called to hell) and spoke to their frod dept. Sprint told me that the number does not belong to them.

it's sprint trying to get us to sign up for another phone line, they continue to call despite me saying DO NOT CALL.

I got a call today as a missed call. No caller ID. I figure this is Sprint. I am going to call them. I believe they can block this number. I had them do it before but now I got a new phone and the number has showed up again.

We should all cancel our Sprint service like 200,000 people did last quarter

This number called me this afternoon. It was Sprint asking if I wanted to take advantage of special offers for exisiting customers to add a line to my account. NOT INTERESTED!

Sprint DOES NOT call its customers. This is a scam.

For cell phones dial *2 and contact a customer service rep. Tell them that you got called from this number. Monitor your account. Give them this number for a FRAUD ALERT.

This number has called me 3 or 4 times... didn't leave a message.

They keep calling everyday...no message...hang up every time I answer.

After calling and complaining for hours to sprint I was given this number to cal: 1-800-865-7786. Choose the touch-tone prompt that says to not share your # with any of sprint's affiliated companies. I've been getting calls from that # for 2 years now. I hope this works.

who calling me from this number i like to know.

This # most likely is not Sprint but claims to be. They are apparently trying to run off Sprint customers and/or adding your number to a "call" list for telemarketers. I have read here that many who add there name to a Do Not Call list end up getting more calls, so beware! I did call Sprint and complained about the number 866-463-3021. Apparently this is just an extension of the 3020 number.

Sprint customer service said they would "try" to do something. I said "this phone number is alll over the net - tell your manager about this complaint.
She said "will take care of it.

I too call the number back to add myself to the do not call list of Sprint. I am still getting calls on my cell phone!

If you are a Sprint or Nextel customer they have the right to call even if you are on the DNC list. You have to call THEM and tell them to stop, make sure you make note of the date and time of call as it's not working for me- they keep calling my cell. Am closing my account as soon as my contract is up!!

Foriegner said he was calling from sprint, offering free services, then proceeded to ask me about my account. If he was from sprint, he would already know about my account.

very weird. lady said they can give me discount but that they will have to verify account? she then hung up on me. ?WTF??

When I answer I just get silence. Call backs send me international?? Curse you Sprint!

This is number is from Sprint. They cold-called me to try and get me to 'add another line' for free (when I upgraded my plan and signed a new 2 year service agreement). Sprint sucks.

DO NOT enter YOUR number on their take us off your list option.

It just makes your number come up on caller ID to the next caller.

Switched carriers yesterday. My contract was up with sprint/nextel and didn't like the way I was treated, so I cancelled.

Very next day, they start calling.

It is Sprint/Nextel. They were trying to upgrade me to add a line. I asked them to take me off of their call list and she complied with no issues.

This again was Sprint. But when I called back, it was an offer to add additional lines of service to my plan. What a waste of my 30 seconds! =)

1 to 2 calls per day... there should be a call block function on this phone? It has all sorts other useless things

im already with SPRINT/NEXTEL they call at least 3 time a day between 9am and 2pm frm 8664633021.whats up.?

Check out this website on telemarketers:
telemarketingfaq.com

If your like me i keep getting the same phone calls everyone else has been getting. Sounds bad but every night after i get my free calling i call them back press 5 to talk to the rep and wait till they are done with they are saying and basically tell them one thing to "go fcuk yourself" and I hang up.

Theresa,
what number you called the rep, I was informed to call 877-365-6413 (sprint customer service line) the guy said will remove my number from calling list, but it will take 30 days! to process. still get this F* call everyday!

got a rep that said calls could be stopped by removing the option on my account. It was simple. No more calls

866-463-3019...i think they are all the same.

got lots of phone calls from them from 3019, 3020, 3021 (last four digits of ph#).

It's not nextel or sprint. It's scammers trying to get your information. So if they call you, don't give them any info.

Very annoyed!!

I have received four of these calls but have answered none of them.I can't believe that there is no real way to stop them

Yesterday I pressed 6 to remove my #. After another call I called them and pressed 5 to add a service, then I got a person. Asked to be removed again. Will see if it worked

Yeah, it definitely is sprint. The funny thing is, they must not have been paying attention as they left me a nice long voicemail with nothing but LOTS of background noise. Sounds like they are having a party at the callcenter!!

No VM and no answer when I called it.

Yep...called me, too. Just one time so far. Nobody on the line...just hangs up.

866-463-3021 they call, you answer, they give you their promotional speal which is recorded of course. Our phone accounts should be able to block certain numbers like how our email blocks spam calls.

This actually a call from one of their Partner/Distributors a Sprint Authorized Agent.
Usaully a cell phone store would have this status.
They will offer you the Moon and deliver little, never buy from one of these callers.

We are reproting them again to Sprint today.

Waste of time trying to figure who called in case it was important! WHY ARE YOU BOTHERING ME!!!

just hangs up when i picked it up

How annoyed I am... I was "provisioned" to be removed from direct calling on 3/8/07 & 4/25/07.
They continue to call from either of these numbers thus far:
866-463-3021 &
866-862-3983

UGH!

I recieved the call while my phone was turned. I called the number back and received a machine which told me who they were and what they wanted. Also If you do not want them calling you unless you are one of there customers put your name on the DO NOT CALL list. If you are a customer one of the contract agreements are you accept any advertising from them for this stuff. Which really is not that much anyways.

Sprint calling to try to upsell me. They call a lot and won't take a hint.

These calls ARE from Sprint/nextel. I have contacted them many times via email and have kept all replies from them. Suggest you and others file complaints with feds and contact CNN. Today they did a peice on how Sprint dropped customers who were an annoyance!

I DO NOT think this is Sprint. *I'm pretty sure it is a Phishing scam.* I think this mainly because a telemarketer would not request my password to upgrade my service.

I called Sprint customer service about it, and they seemed to agree.

Again, putting yourself on the DNC or on Sprint's "Do Not Call" is pointless to stop these calls. It is not Sprint (hence Sprint's DNC does not help) nor are they a legitimate business (thus they don't honor the National DNC list).

Again: It's NOT SPRINT!!

Read the above sentence again.

Here it is again for convenience:

*SPRINT IS NOT CALLING YOU. YOU ARE BEING PHISHED.*

Thanks
jason.

They keep calling me trying to offer a "better plan" and a "free phone."

uh, sure....

Another reason to hate Sprint. Need I say more?

How annoying. I thought I signed up to not have my number given out. But, apparently my own company calls to sell me something on my cell phone.

They ought to not bother their customers.

Just got this call, first time. And like some of you, reading all these complaints worries me. If they want to take up time and money on my phone, they should bloody well pay for it themselves.

please contact: schneiderwallace.com they are attorneys who handle cases like this. f they get enough responses, they will take case.

Getting really sick of this, they call 5 times a week. I have asked to be on the DNC list 5 times.

I now have a personal vendetta against Sprint. I just contacted 311 and will report them to Department of Consumer Affairs.

I posted earlier. I will report them to the Consumer Protection Hotline of the FTC in the morning. I will post the results and number afterward. We must all do the same. CID # 866-463-3021

I have been on DNC since 2003. It is Sprint that calls. They call every day for about 2 months after requesting them to stop. Then it re-occurs after about a year passes. Visit stopjunkcalls.com i will procede to take them to court.

The guy was lying. He pretended to be the sprint customer service and wanna offer me some promotions, and ask me to verify the personal information. But when I call the Spring customer service to verify his promotion, it proved his was lying.

Thanks for the DNC info. I called the number back and entered that option.

they keep calling both my and my husband's cell. We've asked them to not call back and remove us, but the calls continue. They seem to know everything about our service, our latest bill, etc. However if you try to call back it doesn't go thru. It's really annoying.

I filed a complaint with CA's State Attorney General's Office and got Sprint to send me a letter stating that I am placed on their internal Sprint do-not call list. That was a reasonable resolution to the spam calls I get from this Sprint toll-free number, but it appears to only last about 3 months.

Now I get calls about once a day, and I finally called the number back and follow the key prompt to remove myself from their calling list. Nothing has changed and I actaully answered the call and voiced my complaint to one of their managers. All she can tell me is that they are sorry and that if I don't want these promotional offers to ignore the calls in the future. What kind of customer service is that!

Too bad I am not at home and have access to the letter Sprint sent me, or else I would be raising hell again. And just in case Sprint follows these posts, I am not renewing my contract in a few months and will try my luck with AT&T (with 4th best customer service level which is still better than #5 Sprint) and their iPhone.

it's sprint trying to get you to add lines, change plans..etc... lifecycle dept

They just keep calling and hang up on me when I answer. I stopped answering their calls but they call every day a couple times a day!

Sprint calling to try to get people to sign up for another line of service. When I called back I got an automated message...instructed to press 5 if I was interested in an extra line and 6 if I was not.

07-01-07

Grr...

I think it is Sprint, I have a sprint fusic, so it makes sense...sometimes I get one with a 727 area code, I live in Detroit so I never answer that one either...sick of these calls though

DNC doesn't really stop anyone from calling your number. Even if you report it, all that happens is the company who makes the call will get a phone call from DNC. DNC will tell them that there were complaints so they should stop. Then the company making the calls will apologize to DNC. Then DNC smacks the company on the hands and lets them go with unlimited warnings. The next time DNC gets another complaint about the same company they will do the same thing again. I know because I use to work for a telemarketer.

Adding your name to DNC is only a waste of time. DNC does not serve its purpose period.

No message just rings, I have do not call on this cell line.

First said they were Nextel, then said they were Sprint. Foreign male calling. Said they were calling about my bill [which I had already paid].

They just called me and I called the number back and the message said they were closed and to call back during normal business hours.

Called the number. It's a recording from Sprint. They have a prompt that tells you to push 6 if you don't want to hear about anymore promotions. I'll see if that works. If they keep calling I suggest everyone just cancel their service. Their service is the worst anyway.

This was made by a woman from India who could hardly speak English. I told her not to call again.

Why would Sprint Allow this company to be so unprofessional?? Makes me not want to re up with Sprint

Getting junk calls from this number: 866-463-3021
STOP!!!!!!!!

my suggestion is to save the number in your phone book and assign a silent ringer to it. Until they start selling phones that actually let you block numbers, this seems to be the best you can do.

I told them to STOP CALLING MY NUMBER! They have called me every day the last week. Wish I could block them!

They just keep on calling and calling. Don't leave a message

These bastards call every day, multiple times a day. I am so sick of it and can't seem to get them to stop calling. I report each and every call to donotcall.gov and that still isn't working.

You can email Sprint & ask to be put on their DO NOT CALL list: 'officeofprivacy@sprint.com'

The DNC stuff doesn't work. I tried it and I also talked to a live person who advised they would add me to the list but it could take up to 30 days for it to go through. I still get calls. However, I do get far fewer calls now. Maybe one or two a week instead of one or two a day.

I received a call from 1-866-463-3020 multiple times. I'm not sure who they are ...seems fishy.

this shit number has been calling me every night at 1030

I resent getting these annoying calls!!

They are not Sprint. Sprint would never call out of the blue and ask for your account password. These people did it.

I've been getting them for a few weeks now, but never answer. I finally called and got an automated message offering me a way to add a new phone line. I chose the "I don't want a new phone line option," so hopefully the calls will stop.

I called back just to find out who it was and it was just a promotion from Sprint. I selected that I didn't want to hear about promotions anymore. Hopefully it works but I guess it is the least of the inconveniences I have had with previous cell phone carriers

I called the number back. It is Sprint offering the chance to buy an additional line. If you call back, they will give you the option of pressing 6 to stop receiving these calls.

Got a call on my (Sprint) cell from this number (I missed it). I just added it as a number in my phone so I'll now see "Sprint advert." whenever another call comes in. Problem solved.

I got the message at about 2:00 pm MST; unavailable

This is a fraudster. They pose as sprint. They don't have any info on you except your name. Then they ask you to verify your information and that is how they get your info.
They tell you your a valued sprint customer and tell you your are eligible for a free phone. Don't believe it, it is totally a way to get your info. They also ask for your credit info to check your credit for your "NEW LINE OF SERVICE".

PLEASE BEWARE. I CALLED SPRINT *2 AND THEY SAID IT'S NOT THEM AND DON'T GIVE THEM ANY OF YOUR INFORMATION.
They've been calling me for a week before I picked up the phone, I thought it was because I didn't pay my bill.

It's Sprint. I've gotten 3 of these in the past week. They're just selling stuff.

Three days in a row they've done the same thing. I promise, one more call and I'm switching networks!

I just don't answer the call when it pops up on my caller ID on my cell phone. No big deal.

Had 5 calls in the last two weeks. I won't answer.

I keep getting a call from a 866-463-3021 its drives me nuts it happens about every single week.

I was told there is a no call list for cell phones in MO

calls everyday repeatedly.

Same thing as everyone else, called back number and they said thank you for calling Sprint about this offer. I hung up. I get this once a day.

You GET THEM BACK:
Here a number to call and leave a message or email...
When a company calls me I look up their info. and harrass them back. Key is find a real person to call or contact. I've been know to call board members.

I have received 3 calls or so in the past 2 days from this number and came online to find out it was listed. I never answered it. I do have sprint service and see that a lot of people feel it is sprint. Now I feel better not answering it.

This number keeps calling me and when I answer it just hangs up. I wish there was a way to make it stop.

I want block this call from my cellphone.

I am now using vistacallerid.com Caller ID software for Vista - i had enough of this telemarketing crap and i am screening all my calls.

no one on the other line

2nd call this week

Just called Sprint at 888-788-5001 to get this number blocked and they said that it was blocked from recieving phone calls. In the mean time she said to go to donotcall.gov and register my cell phone. So I check out the site and the first thing you see on the site is a message saying you do not need to register your cell phone. I will update to let you know if the calls stopped after blocking the phone number.

Probably was a Sprint call, I missed it but they are good about calling and giving you offers that if taken extend your commitment to Sprint.

Several calls on my cell phone. No one there when I answer.

FCC complaint form is at:
svartifoss2.fcc.gov
Include a link to this page!

This is a private company that represents itself as "Sprint". If they get you to add a line they get paid from Sprint. I called the Sprint Corporate HQ and filed a complaint.

I found adviceontime.com under their section advice there is a credit section. They left a letter. i sent it to them and it worked. they stopped calling

Please and my # to the dnc list 701-258-8083

Been getting these calls for over several months on my cell. I have yet to answer any and will continue the non answer program. They can spend their wheels all they want, but will not get me and waste my time, the worthless slugs!

Damn company shouldn't even be calling at all. My number's already on their DNC list.

Support the death penalty for ALL telemarketers.

They finally stopped. It's been 3 weeks now. After a blitz of 4-5-6 calls a day during the last week of calling, in which I never answered, I guess they gave up. I never answered their calls like I do with all telemarketers and eventually they disappear.

This is Sprint/Nextel telemarketing and trying to get you to add an additional line of service. If you call the number back, it gives you the option to tell them you are not interested in any of their promotions.

After a month of these harassing calls, they have stopped. I'm not sure which thing I did worked, so I'll list them all:
1. Raised my voice or sweet-talked in about a dozen tirades with different folks at Sprint customer care, sales, retention, and technical support. Their answers ranged from 'never heard of it' to ' will take up to 30 days to stop' to 'we are working on this problem.'
2. Emails to customer care. (I don't think these helped at all.)
3. Asked to be taken off marketing list, twice in two days; second time the guy said that all but last part of the process was done, as if the previous representative messed up my request. He promised me that no calls would come the next day, but they did.
4. Entered formal complaint with Better Business Bureau of Kansas City. Soon after, the calls stopped, and I received a call from Sprint asking if the problem was solved to my satisfaction. I was grumpy, they gave me $50 of my next bill (since verified), but I asked them to consider all the people on this page and elsewhere, and that I would hold it against Sprint until the problem was solved for everyone.
My recommendation: go straight to the Better Business Bureau. They will force Sprint to solve your problem. After enough of you do it, perhaps they will shut down the rogue call center that is doing this.
kansascity.bbb.org

I have been harrassed by Sprint now since Feb. 9th calling me 3 times a day, sometimes 20 minutes apart (this morning). I asked to speak to a supervisor and they hang up on me. When I ask them to stop calling them hang up on me. I tell them I am on a do not call list and they keep calling. I have MS and the stress of these calls are unbearable. I am numb on my left side from the stress. How can I stop them?

This is a number from sprint that is trying to upgrade you on additional phone lines

Called the 1-888-760-2478 number below. They asked for my acount passcode when I refused they were transfering me to customer service and I was "disconnected". I then sent the e-mail to the customer service e-mail below. Good luck

I had this number calling me and asking for me by name. As soon as I answered - yes, that's me - they hanged up. When they call me last time, I just answered the phone, with out waiting for them to hang up or ask for me by my name, I just told them :"Take a hide". I did not have a call from them since.

It has been over a week now since I called the number back and selected option #6 during business hours, I have not gotten calls from this number since then.

Since Etelecare seems to be the driving force behind these non-stop calls, here is their web link for thier locations:

etelecare.com

Might be better help for getting these calls to stop if Sprint isn't lefting a finger.

Yep, it's Sprint/Etelecare. And this is not the only number.

forums.wirelessadvisor.com

One more call and I'm going to Kansas City.

One more thing. If you call any of the regular Sprint numbers, they are honest when they say they do not know about this number and they do not think it is Sprint. Telesales is not Sprint, and for some reason Sprint's customer service group are not being made aware of this number. I can not tell you how many levels deep I had to go to finally get all the info. listed in the previous posting. And get this, I am fairly highly placed in one of Sprint Customer Service Groups, and I never knew about this number til my mom complained to me.

This number is NOT a Sprint number, but it is a telesales company employed by Sprint/Nextel, so it is just as bad. This method of sales was used by Nextel, and brought into the merger by them. It seems they call your phone, let it ring long enough for caller ID to work, then hang up. Obviously they figure if they annoy you enough, you will call back, hear a recording about a GREAT deal from Sprint, and happily decide you want it. (YSR)However, if you choose option 6 to be taken off the list, it normally works and the calls stop within a week.
The thing to keep in mind, for an automated system, it only works during office hours, m-f, and the call has to come from the phone number receiving the calls. So you will have to use up 1-2 anytime minutes to call back, and select option 6 to be removed. I do recommend listening to make sure it is still option 6. What was true yesterday may not be true today. Hopefully, after a few days, if not right away, the calls will stop.

Just got a call w/ no one there. I've asked Sprint to take me off their list twice...

This number started calling me the following Monday, twice a day after Jan 13th, 2007, the day I cancled my monthly insurance on my A900. I went to the local Sprint store and had one of the sale rep update my account. He gave me the typical end of the world speech for canceling my insurance. To me, I think the guy put my number on a SPRINT list so that they could call me twice everyday Monday thru Saturday. I never answered that number. Just over four weeks later, I call ed the number, first from my work phone then with my cellphone. And sure enough, it was SPRINT trying to sell added services for my cellphone. I went thru the recorded voice prompts to select no additional service with both phones. It has been two or three bussiness days and I haven't seen the that number on my cellphone. What ticks me off the most is that when I emailed SPRINT Customer Service about this two weeks in, they replied that this number is not assoiciated with them and that they couldn't do anything about it.

I called Sprint and asked them to quit calling. I was told that they could not stop people from calling my number,even though it is their company doing it.

Yesterday was a record 6 calls. Only three today.... yeaaa??? Calling back the number and dialing 6 hasn't done anything, waiting until Feb 28 to see if calling sprint makes a difference.

The blog from Karl just above this is absolutely correct. Several of my friends have also gotten ROAMING CHARGES" on their bills and they have unlimited everything. Figure they nail 1 million customers each month for $5.00 and after a year that really boosts their income. Roaming charges are free and clear income for them.

By the way...does anyone get mysterious roaming charges put on their bill, when they have made none. I get them 3-4 times a year at 75 cents a minute charge. When I call Sprint, they are almost too nice about it and immediately credit my bill. I have "Sprint Only" programmed into my cell. How do they explain the charges? "Must have jumped towers...sorry about that." Most people will pay them...another way to collect extra $$$$. Always check your bill or check via their web site to catch it early. They need to be investigated.

I'd like to see a followup from anyone person who successfully have had them stop calling.

(1) A week ago I called Sprint and told them to make this stop. They said they took me off some call list. I complained that this has been reported for months and it surprised me they have done nothing about it. The operator was not helpful.

(2) I called the number back and pressed 6 or whatever to say I don't want to be called.

I'm still getting the calls.

Think about it: Why would they continue to call even if you decline the offer? Why would Sprint tolerate this for so long? Someone at Sprint has to be familiar with this, so why can't Sprint offer more information?

This is ridiculous! I've been getting bombarded by these clowns 6-8 times a day for at least the past two weeks.

If someone has found a way to put a complete end to it let us all know.

I have called sprint two times and both times they have said that they would take my name off the list. After calling, the calls have increased in frequency. Enough is enough.

I Got a call today from the same number. But that was because the phone was left on. I know most people leave there phone on, but I for one always leave mine off and let all calls go to voicemail. It seems that if you answer the call it (the computer) checks your know for validation and thus the call keeps coming. I don't think that it is Sprint but as some posters have suggested it might be a couple of hackers that have hacked into Sprints system. Like I said for the most part I keep my phone off and check perodically through the day for Voicemail messages. If I dont want the call I simply just delete it. Just my two cents worth.

Why are they calling this number and don't leave a name?

Sprint must sense that I'm about to kick them to the curb for the new iPhone. Not that moving to Cingular is going to change the crapiness of this industry.

This is a scam to chip away at your minutes and try and sell add-on services. They suck!

I don't answer any calls from numbers not recognized, let alone toll free ones. The 866-646-3020, on my cell phone has been going on several months..starting from once a week to 6-7 times a day, now. I have it listed as "Toll Free Idiot" and that's the way the Caller I.D. shows it. I just hit the silence ringer button and then clear it. I understand that this is Sprint pushing some sort of garbage. Great way to loose a customer.

Received several calls from this number. I called them back and found out it was Sprint offering to add a line of service to my existing account. It is an automated call and press "6" to be removed from the list.

Called Sprint again to try to get this stopped. They said I would have 30 days from Jan 30 2007 until I would be ok. We'll see. I'm skeptical.. I'm done with them as a customer no matter what when my contract ends. Just got three phone calls within 2 hours. I'm sure there will be at least two more today

These people are responsible for the harassing phone calls made to me for over a month they do abandoned calls - that's why you don't hear anything on the other end, you can contact them (toll free) at:

Teresa Engle / COO / TEL 1-800-207-1983 x4500

(rfort@education-sales.net)

Well well, just got one more, answered in 2 rings. "Hi, have you changed your Sprint service recently?" Oh I hope they were esorry they asked because I started right in with, "I'm sorry, what number are you calling from again?" "Oh, we don't have a number." "I see... well your number is coming up the same as it did ten minutes ago, this 866 number, and my patience is just about at an end with you!" Told them they had better stop calling me, period. I'm tired of being pestered in the middle of my breakfast, in the middle of my meetings, in the middle of my workday, in the middle of my dinner, and in the middle of my Saturday at the mall. I also walloped the operator with the fact that there are many, many of us who are sick of getting these 866 calls, and we are not going to take it anymore. Sick of it? Try answering in 2 rings, then laying into them. Maybe they will get the hint, finally. Keep you posted.

Been getting calls from this number daily for months. Reporting it to Sprint PCS's fraud dept if they ever pick up the phone. Thanks to this website I know I'm not alone and this has to stop!!

Will tell you all how it goes... if they ever answer... ick, their muzak sounds like a cheap adult film soundtrack.

I kept getting these calls and I never answered them. I just put in the search engine the number and came up with this website. I see I am not alone on this number calling. I figure if I don't know the number, I don't know the person calling so I never picked up. I thought too it was Sprint, but then I thought why would Sprint be calling me and not leaving a message? So they call sometimes and they are not bothersome right now.

This is not Sprint calling, it is a scam. I sent an email notifying Sprint of this issue and this is the response that I got:

-------------------
Thank you for contacting Sprint together with Nextel. I understand your concern regarding the unwanted incoming calls.

First of all, I apologize for all the inconvenience caused to you due to this.

However, I would like to inform you that this is a known issue and will be resolved as soon as possible.

Further, I have also notified your account in this regard so that the matter can be looked into and the issue can be resolved to your satisfaction.

I assure you that all your information with us is absolutely safe and secure.

I apologize once again for all the inconvenience caused to you due to this.

Thank you for contacting us. Have a great day.

------------------------

I've already been called by 866-463 twice after I received this email. I'm not sure exactly what steps Sprint is taking, but considering this has been going on for a year now it's safe to say that they're not doing enough.

wtf sprint idiots

someone please take note and do something for us. This is annoying

I've also been getting calls from this number several times a day for the past couple of weeks. I've answered and asked them not to call again, but to no avail. Verizion is starting to look good...

we've gotten about 30 since early january Sprint psc doesn't seem to care

Mind you I called the number back yesterday and told them to stop.
I have never had a problem with sprint in the 9 years or more that I have had them, but, this is bugging me. If they don't stop soon I will writing to the president of the company.

Been getting daily calls from this number for the past week, sometimes more than once per day. They hang up when I answer.
It says name unavailable on caller ID. If this is sprint why in the world would they call just to hang up.

Sprint sucks, they are friggin stalkers who call me about 5 times a day. I have answered and told them I'm not a customer and went through all the steps but they continue to harrass me.

These calls started approx. 6 months or so ago, not exactly sure when. Lately, within the last month, they have called several times a day. How do you block this number?

I get this every once in a while. Anyone figure it out yet?

I get these calls at least twice a day to my cellphone. How can I make it stop?!!

I have gotten this call at 6:30am for the last few days, including on saturday morning. A great way to start the day :-(

I also began receiving calls from this number about 2 months ago. They have recently escalated to 2-3 times per day. I never answer, they never leave a message. I am definitely terminating my 7-year sprint contract when it expires this summer. Zero excuse, zero tolerance.

I have been getting a call from this phone number twice a day, each weekday, the last two weeks. I never answer; and they never leave a voice mail. Very annoying to get these calls while I am at work.

I'm a Sprint customer due to expire soon. Started getting these calls last week, once a day, no message; twice a day today. After reading the comments here, I called Sprint using *2 and they promptly agreed to block these calls, 24-48 hours to take effect. We'll see. Doesn't make any sense to call the number back directly, in case it's spam... call Sprint via a known good number.

I keep getting calls from this number as well. Unfortunately there is absolutely nothing you can do other than canceling your Sprint Service. The national DNC list does not apply to companies that you have current business with. Anyone who does not have business with Sprint please report this though.

I get 1 call a day M-F. Irritating.....

I have received at least two calls a day from this number. I live in the 23229 zip code area

It comes up only with the number on caller ID. I wish whoever this was would stop calling.

I wonder if it is someone phishing and saying they are sprint/nextel to make you feel safe entering your #, I'm going to call the sprint service # on my contract and talk to them directly!

I have SPRINT. I was called by this # yesterday morning and again this morning. I answer but no response. I e-mailed SPRINT and customer service called me. Their advice is to ignore the call. Weak! When I pointed out that voicemail might answer my "ignored" call and that I don't want this to cost me minutes, they ultimately agreed to set me up so that I won't be charged for the first minute of any call. Way to put out a brush fire with a tidal wave - but what the heck. I suggest you do the same - if enough people do, then maybe SPRINT will be a little more pro-active re this number.

Two calls within two days. one at 7:21 PM and one @ 1:33 today.

So far they have called 3 times today, no message on any of them.

Got a call from this number on my cell phone. 01.30.2007 at 10:30am. I did not answer and there was no message.

By the way, if you have a 'prior business relationship' with Sprint, which it looks like most of the people who posted complaints do, myself included, it overrides your 'do not call' preference. However it looks like one can opt out by sending an email to Sprint. I'll try that.

I didn't answer, but it's not the first time I've gotten a call from them.

Received first call today on my Sprint cell. They hung up when answered. I searched the Internet & saw this web site.

Do not call back to try to remove your name or tell them to stop calling you. It only makes it worse.

The calls ARE from Sprint. I complained via email on their site and got this response (poor grammar and all):

Thank you for contacting Sprint together with Nextel. I understand your concern regarding the Telemarketing call.

As requested, I have removed your phone number from the list.

It may be helpful to know that it will take 30 days to get a number removed from the Telemarketing database, as the request will be forwarded to all our centers across the country. I appreciate your patience in this regard.

Once this is done, be assured that you will not receive any marketing call from us.

Also, if you do not wish to receive marketing calls from other companies, I recommend you to sign up for the 'Do not call list' from you side. This can be done by visiting the following Web site:

donotcall.gov

I called Sprint to ask them to stop calling and was told, by law they could not stop anyone from calling me. I am counting the days until I can switch carriers.

Son-of-a-bit#*...I have received numerous calls from this number...pretty much daily.

Ah K-rap!

I've had 3 calls from this number in the past week. My contract expired 1/4/07. I'm assuming Sprint is attempting to sell me a new contract. Unfortunately for them, I'm not renewing.

I got a call this afternoon from an older man who asked for me and knew the highschool I went to and said he was a classmate. This was the number that showed up.

Just got the call, i don't answer numbers i don't know so i looked it up and found this site...

Some stupid message from Sprint regarding new services and packages available. If you opt out of it by pressing 6 then it will just tell you to call sprint directly for further service.
I have gotten alot of calls from this number and have been asked to be put on sprint DNC list. I can't wait to get out of this contract with Sprint. Every call and text message you get counts against you, which gives them more money!

Sprint. They don't leave a message or answer and if you call back they are offering some deal.

Called back and it was a "damn" promotional message! To add a line of service . . . STOOPID STOOPID SPRINT!

Been getting them the past week or so. Stupid me answered today, nobody there.

They are probably building a phone spam list for later use, testing for active numbers.

The old junk-fax spam method of gathering numbers.

Next-up SMS spam.

Sorry, the full web address didn't fit in the message.
visit
donotcall.gov
and simply click on the link to file a complaint.

If your phone is on the do not call list, you can file a complaint at

Hopefully if they get enough complaints something will be done about it. I'm sick of this junk.

Started getting calls from this on my Sprint cell phone last week. They're now calling every day. No message. Incredibly annoying.

Calls every day, I don't answer and they don't leave message

I'VE RECIEVED MANY CALLS FROM THIS NUMBER. I DON'T ANSWER B/C IT SAYS IT'S UNAVAILBLE BUT THEY NEVER LEAVE A MSG. I'M GETTING TIRED OF IT.

D'oh! I've had the same problems with the 866-463-3020 as well as the 866-463-3019 Sprint spam marketing calls. Part of my solution has benn to install MagiCall 1.2 software on my PPC-6700, and set MagiCall to automatically pick up these specific numbers without ringing and hang up instantly, lol... Anyway, MagiCall has been great for filtering or blocking SMS, unknown callers, etc...

Hopefully the instant hang up will give the spam callers a taste of their own nausea. I also recommend emailing or calling Sprint directly, and demand removal from any marketing call lists, as many have stated in this thread.

Best of luck to all.

I am on the DO NOT CALL LIST and still get this.

It's getting really annoying to get these calls all the time. I think it is important because of the 866 area code. Ive never answered but waited for a message and they don't leave one. I get them in the middle of the day or during my night class between 6-9. STOP!!!!

Got this call 1-22-07 on my cell phone, my carrier is Sprint, so it makes sense that this was Sprint/Nextel, as I don't give this number out. Ever.

They called me and hung up on 1.22.2007

The number is 866-463-3020. I get the call on my Sprint phone. When I pick up, they hang up. They don't leave a message. When I call the number back, I press 6 to opt out. I still get the calls. When I already called Sprint about 6 mo ago to be taken off their list. I just called back, and they said I am off the list so I shouldn't be getting the calls. The calls come in the middle of the business day or during the weekend. It is time for a class action suit.

This was my second call from this number in less than a week

Have received several calls from this number. I do not answer numbers I don't recognize so I cannot confim if this is Sprint/Nextel calling, though they are my carrier.

zip 80405

I called the number back and it's a recording indicating that they are Sprint/Together with Nextel and they are calling to offer new promotions for existing customers. If you are not interested, Press 6. Not sure if it's legit, but they tell you that if you want to add a line of service to your account in the future, call 1-800-sprint1

Received the latest of these calls today at 7:31pm.
It seems that calling Sprint Customer Service to have my name added to their Do Not Call list doesn't do anything. Tomorrow I will take a trip to the local Sprint store and chat with a live person about this crap.
They always call me after 7pm.

After calling the number provided by Sprint to opt out of such calls, I received another today. Apparently I accidentally pushed the 1 button instead of Talk and received an automated message from Sprint thanking me for calling back and then hearing a message about some of their products. My understanding is that, unfortunately, the "Do Not Call" list does not apply to companies with which we already do business.

This number came to my mobile phone. There was no message and I didn't know anyone at that number so I just googled it to see if I could figure out who was calling. Wow, I am surprised to see all this out here. Only one call so far.

This number calls at least twice each week, but hangs up when we do answer just to find out who it is. They never leave a message on the answering machine. How can I lower a hammer on this freak ? Thanks

I have received two phone calls already from that number. The first time they hung up and the second time they wanted me to sign up for another phone plan.

Second call in 5 days from these scumbags. I called *2 and told the rep that I did not want to receive calls from anyone. Hopefully, it will work this time.

They called my Sprint cell phone at 2:46 p.m. on Wednesday, January 17. They did not leave a message.

This is a Sprint customer thing I guess. I called the number back and was given a voice recording about adding a second line to my account. It then gives you the option to opt out of all offers, so call the number back and choose that option - hopefully the calls will stop.

Well..dang this is the 3rd time today. And it is Sprint/Nextel. That is crazy...really

Called but didn't leave a message. No ID.

They called right now, 7:50PM PST, and as all unlisted numbers on my cell phone, it said "Unknown Caller". im guessing cuz i'm sprint customer? i hate sprint!

just got one for the first time, they hung up on me so i googled this number and found your site, funny thing is, i am also a sprint customer and called customer service today and had difficulty understanding their tech support person who was obviously from another country , i ended up hanging up on them from frustration. I wonder if one thing has anything to do with the other?

To people claiming that these people are scam telemarketers:

How is it they are only calling Sprint customers? Did they hack Sprint's database?

This is from Sprint. They are scum.

Got this call at 11:26 am on my Sprint cell phone. I received a privacy notice in the mail from Sprint which I promptly returned stating I do not wish to recieve calls from them or affiliates. Apparently, that does not mean much for these scumbags.

I may decide a cell phone is not worth the irratation of these calls.

sounds like it is time for a class action lawsuit.

Got an unknown call, no message - Google'd 866-463 (didn't even type 3020) and voila here I am . . .

Sprint offer for new line service - can hit #6 if not interested when calling them back - did this to stop getting calls from them on my cell!

got my second one in Miami

Just because they CLAIM to be from Sprint doesn't mean they really are. It's apparently a scam telemarketer. If you answer or return the call then you've just confirmed that you will talk to unknown numbers. They will now sell your number to other scammers because you've confirmed you're a sucker! Do NOT answer unknown numbers. If you do, then just hang up instantly so they have to pay a couple of cents. There is no reason to be nice to inconsiderate telemarketing scammers!

Thank goodness I didn't call back after finding this call on my missed list

I've sent out warnings to all my sprint users!

But who the he** is this?

I ended up canceling my Sprint Service. Payed an early termination fee. Didn't care, they would not stop calling...

DO NOT Answer calls from Sprint. I was Slammed. A woman called from Sprint and asked if I wanted a FREE phone. My response was "no I have a phone, I don't need a new phone." After several minutes of her harassing me "are you sure you don't need another phone?" I hung up. Well guess what she sent me the FREE phone anyway. I had to go through the hassle of returning the FREE phone to Sprint, not to mention I spent several hours on the phone reversing the charges associated with the FREE phone. Now the phone is lost...yeah that's right Sprint says they never received the FREE phone I returned to them in their return package. I am now being charged $150 for the FREE phone that I did not ask for. Take my advice don't answer calls from SPRINT. In fact cancel your service when they call.

thought it might have been my plumber, so i googled the number to see what came up. this site is cool.

what is up with this?

I h8

To the man calling everyone idiots, this is not from bill collectors. If YOU owe them money then perhaps YOU should pay them.

I have received a call on my phone now 5 times in past two days - never answered the phone and no message was left. I intend to contact Sprint Customer Service after the holiday to place a block on this number.

Several calls in the last couple of days. No one ever responds when I answer, and they don't leave VM when I don't. It's getting annoying.

They are calling abourt 0908am et every day.

To the guy calling everyone idiots because it's a billing number, it is not. If you call it back it says "Thanks for calling sprint/nextel, the reason for our call is to inform current customers of some great deals......." I hung up there.
Billing calls actually DO leave messages in your voicemail. FYI

The merger of Sprint/Nextel
caused this...
Wonderful just wonderful!

You people are idiots.. You are not going to get off the list. THEY ARE CALLING YOU BECAUSE YOU OWE THEM MONEY. IT'S A BILL COLLECTION NUMBER. WANNA stop the calls?? Settle your debt with them. Fools... lol.. Yea, could you stop calling me about the money I owe you??

called today, on my cell. just showed the phone number, no name

To opt out from these calls, both from 3010 and 3021, call 888-760-2478. I just did it after 5 calls in 4 days from rude sales folx!!

Started getting hang-ups from this phone number around November 15, 2006, and have been getting them since. This is getting ridiculous. Nothing I have done to stop these calls will make them stop, and they are getting more frequent.

Got my first 866 463 3021. Picked up but no answer.

If this continues, I'm opting out of Sprint. Any recommendations on a better carrier?

I'm getting calls everyday at around the same time from these different numbers.

I started receiving calls from this number on 11/11. So far they have all been between 1 and 2pm, but seem to be increasing in frequency.

The conversation after about the 50th time in the past month that I received a call from this number:

Me: "Hello? Knock knock, go eff yourself."
Woman: "Excuse me?"
Me: Click

One more thing .... I also sent an email to officeofprivacy@sprint.com (I got the address from sprint.com), and told them I wanted off any marketing lists and on any Do Not Call list. Don't know if it will do anything, but I do know that the squeaky wheel gets oiled. If enough people give Sprint hell for this, they gotta listen. And I'm all for people threatening to not renew if Spring doesn't address the issue. Though I always am nice first and only get pissed if that doesn't work (in my case, being nice worked when I called Customer Care the 2nd time and got somebody friendly and helpful).

Very interesting ... I've been a Sprint customer for over 2 years, have been on the national Do Not Call list almost as long, and have never had any trouble with telemarketers until the past two weeks when I started getting daily phone calls from 866-463-3020. I never answer calls when I don't know who they're from (and they can leave a message if it's important), so I've never actually answered. But I googled the number and came to this site and many others. So I called Sprint customer care (*2) and told they guy I wanted off all their marketing/soliticiting/telemarketing lists or any Do Not Call list they may have. He told me they did not maintain such a list, but I could block the number by dialing *82. He was an idiot, as the *82 number doesn't work (I get an error message) and, as you'll see, he was wrong about the Do Not Call list.

So I called Spring Customer Care a second time, got a different (and much more friendly) person, told her I was getting telemarketing calls and wanted off any marketing lists they may have. She was really nice, took a few moments, and said, "Okay, you are now on our Do Not Call list"!!

We'll see if it works. I suggest everybody try this, and call Spring repeatedly if they blow you off until you get an agent that can help you. Also make sure you are on the national Do Not Cal list (donotcall.gov), and register a complaint there. These telemarketing bastards need to be served justice.

I've gotten numerous calls from this number. I typically don't answer unrecognized calls, but the one time I did answer, no one was there. Calls on 10/08, 10/20, 11/02, 11/06, 11/30 (2-calls).

they called on my sprint phone

I have been getting calls from this number for a few weeks. No name on caller ID and never a message left. I did not answer the calls since I did not who it was. After checking this site, I saw that it was Sprint, so I sent a harsh email to Sprint telling them to stop or I will cancel my account and all my numbers. They replied back saying they will put me on the do not call list plus they added 100 any time minutes to my account for a month. It may be worth an email to compensate you for the hassle. Hopefully the calls will stop now.

Course, I also reported this to the FCC and did call the 800 number someone else listed to get on Sprints do not call list.

got a call from this number. I think it is sprint. Anyone else?

This is an elaborate scam. It doesn't matter if you are on the national DNC list or on Sprint's DNC list, they're probably calling from another country pretending to be Sprint. Based on the dates of the messages, this has been going on for 6 months now. Sprint should have had these scammers shut down by the FCC in a week. I blame Sprint at this point for not putting the pressure on, if for no other reason than to protect their own ASSets, their customers.

The last info was B.S. Dial code invaild. Called again and was sent to the Security divison. And then Executive Division. Which funny enough, was closed. Will try during business hours.

Two calls a day from 8664633020 for a week. Hangs up. Called Sprint 11/24, put on DNC list. Two more calls 11/27. Called sprint even more upset. Was told to dial *82 and then enter in the number and it would be blocked. Lets see what happens now.

Been called from this number probably 20-30 times. Most recently today, 3:45.

I received 2 calls from the same number, one on 11/24, the other on 11/27. I had no idea that Sprint had their own DNC list... I'm sending them an email right now. Thanks!

I had missed calls from this number on the following dates: 11/27/06 (twice), 11/21/06, 11/20/06, 11/16/06. I am going to try the opt out number 1-800-865-7786

I too have been getting calls from this number almost every day, twice a day, for several weeks. I never answered until today when they called for the second time. I spoke with a young-sounding woman who told me about some random Sprint offer as others here have mentioned. I wanted to freak out on her and tell her that I was annoyed at all the damn calls I've been getting from that number, but I simply declined and told her I was thinking about cancelling Sprint. She told me to have a good day and hung up. HOPEFULLY, simply by answering her damn question, I won't receive any more calls. I'd assume they won't call me back.

The calls had stopped for a while. Now they are coming again. I NEVER answer them. Why waste my minutes on them?

after reading this message I waited and waited for someone to answer - it took about 30 seconds of dead air. when they answered (sprint / nextel) i asked to be removed from their list and the list they received my name from. she read me a paragraph on how it would take 30 days, etc. we'll see

Rec'd call at 9:00 eastern time, no info, just the phone number that i didn't recognize

Just got one - had one last week and I believe the week before. Never anyone / anything on the other end when I answer (so I can't bitch at them - grrrr).
02261125 - 3:50p EST

The last few calls I've received from this number:

Nov 25 1:17pm
Nov 24 3:30pm
Nov 22 3:09pm
Nov 21 11:31am
Nov 18 1:41pm
Nov 17 9:43am

I never answer when this number pops up.

They called a couple of months ago and I sent Sprint a nasty note. The calls stopped, but now they are starting again. I'm going to leave Sprint.

Calls from this number 3 times in the past 2 days. I have not answered and no meesages have been left. Last call was at 11:24am est.

this is really making me angry now. i have called sprint and told them to take me off of this list but they say that either 1) they don't know anything about it or 2) they can't do anything about it. when I answered the call from the 866 number today, specifically so I could tell them to never call me again they were very cocky and said it would take 30 days to go into effect.

These people called yesterday asking if I wanted to add another line with a free cell phone for someone around the holidays. Told them NO, and lo and behold, they call back today too. Ummm...answer is still NO. GO AWAY SPRINT!!!!

Who ARe they??? They call to many time.... It really pisses me up!

Got a call from 866-463-3020 at 1:56P CST on 20Nov06. Didn't recognize #, so I didn't answer. But will record it in ph as potential telemarket call thanks to this site.

THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS!! IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO WE SHOULD!!!!

They called today 4:49 pm, my zip code 11510, I picked up and said "hello, hello?" no one answered, I assume it was a computer so hung up. then googled to find this site. The number came up as name: unknown, number: 866-463-3020 date: 11/20/2006 time: 4:49 pm roaming: no

Class action anyone? There has got to be a service credit for those of us being harassed

Got a call today from 866-463-3020 at 10:39 am. The number showed on caller ID, but I missed the call and looked it up online when I found this website. No message was left. My postal code is 94133.

I had the problem a few months ago with the other number (888-760-2478) and had it finally stopped and today the 866-463-3020 number showed up on my caller id. It appears if you stop one number they will just call from another number. Mike's idea of calling the BBB seams a good idea.

Received call from this number in the middle of a Saturday. I answered and said hello once, seconds later the call ended.

First of all, this IS Sprint calling you. Don't let them fool you. You need to call the number back (or *2), and ask to be removed from any and all marketing calls from within Sprint. They will probably tell you that it will take a few weeks. In my case, it took longer, and I filed a complaint with both the FCC and the Better Business Bureau. Sprint responded to the BBB complaint, claimed that it was a mistake that I was not removed from the list following my initial request and credited my account $25. So while I'm happy with the resolution, it's complete BS that they can just violate my do-not-call list, and it's not until I waste my own time filing complaints that this stops. But, in any event, I have confirmed that it is Sprint making the calls, and you can make them stop if you're persistent.

First one today

Received a call from 866-463-3020 at 9:50 am EST. Calls almost daily.

It's not Sprint... not even a company with any affiliation to them... all the same, it seems to me that Sprint should be able to block them, regardless. Whatever you do though, don't give them any information if you pick up. Also, call the main Sprint customer service line and report the complaint. If there are enough complaints, it might eventually push some action.

these jerks call me everyday sometimes 2 or 3 times and they call both my home phone and my cell phone

Got a call from this number about 2 months ago at around 9:30am. I get a lot of calls from customers with numbers I was using bluetooth at the time so I answered it without looking at the phone and it went on to some automated message saying my account had been deactivated due to non-payment, but my bill wasn't due for another few days and my phone still worked fine after I hung up. Suprise suprise, though, the voice said "to pay you bill press one. to speak to a representative, press two". I pressed one and it said "please hold while a representative is reached." Meaning the so-called computer had no clue which button I pushed.
Then, this morning at 10:30, I got another call from this number. Didn't answer it and they didn't leave a message. If it is indeed Sprint, then it's freakin retarded and they'll have lost my bussiness because of it. I'm thinking it's a bogus number though. Probably someone trying to scam Sprint/Nextel customers. I've used Sprints automated setup and it is NOT a gravelly sounding man and it DOES recognize key presses.

I have had sprint for a year & half and I bet I get calls from this number 2-3 times a day. I answer and no one is there. I've emailed customer service, put my name on DNC list, called customer service...all to no avail. When my contract is up in July I will not be coming back to sprint. I pay too much a month for service to get harassed by their marketing dept.

rec'd call from 866-463-3020 @4:30 pm 11/13/06 no message left..I am already on the state/national do not call lists. Since Sprint is my carrier, I will have to call them to put this # on the dnc list.

Called from this number multiple times, never answered, but googled the number & found this page.

Last call: 2:30PM PST Nov 13 2006

I keep getting these calls...such a pain!!

Received 2nd call today. "Sprint telesales" is actually eTeleCare in the Philippines. To identify the vendor, ask who they receive a paycheck from and where they're located, then enjoy escalating to the managers on duty.

Their email naming convention is first.last@etelecare.com. Someone there will provide contact info to tell Sprint what an awful customer experience it is to have such a sales pitch.

Second call in 24 hours, first one no one was there, didn't answer this time.

866-463-3020 It's Sprint. Although the automated voice sounds like an attractive woman, I still hate the calls to upgrade my service.

12:20 PM

No message left

Have been called twice, Tuesday & today. I usually have my phone off during the day so they could've called more than that.

I've had my cell # on the federal DNC list since the beginning. These calls are the only 'violation' I've had on my cell.

aargh!

866-463-3020
They call me at least once a day. I've never answered but it's pissing me off. I'm going to answer screaming next time they call.

called spring at
1-800-777-4681 on 8 november 2006. press 2 about 3 times till you get automated female voice, tell here "cancel", she will say ok, i can help you with that. you will get a real person on the line, tell them you will cancel you cell phone unless these calls stop. if they tell you to just avoid answering, tell them you will cancel if the calls don't stop. they will say ok, ask for your number, name, password, then tell you it won't stop immediately, but they will get to it. Then, go to dnc.gov, register your cell phone, wait 32 days, and register a complaint against 866-463-3020. i'm waiting to see how long this works. I'm in north carolina.

8664633020 every day, twice a day, for over 8 months now.

this number is indeed from sprint.. They are calling to see if you want to add an additional line to your Nextel service.. Call it back, press 6, and hang up, they will DNC you on the go forward

I've been getting these calls -- about twice a week, so I guess I'm lucky compared to some people -- for about two months now. The one time I did answer, the person on the other end wanted to upgrade my Sprint plan/save me some money -- obviously locking me into another 2-year contract with Sprint. My previous contract expired just a few days ago, and I'm going to jump ship on Sprint as soon as I see a good deal from another provider. While I was planning to leave Sprint anyway, these calls really sealed the deal for me.

I receive a call 2-3 times per day.

While stopping the calls would be even better, I add the number to my phone book and set the ringer to a voice memo of silence, so at least it doesn't bother me.

Did the op-out and everything listed - nothing worked. Then I went to the Sprint Store and had them call in and block the number - No calls for 1 week.

I get these calls from time to time every few days but then they'll stop for a month and then start again. I never answer them. I just look it up in google and see that's it's probably a telemarketer anyway. Last call was 11/4/06 at 10:45am EST.

called my cell phone, we said hello a few times back and forth and then they hung up. Was a lady with a foreign accent, maybe French.

This number has repeatedly been calling me for the last two weeks. two times a day. i never answer.

DON'T ANSWER AND DELETEAT LEAST 10 CALLS IN THREE WEEKS

I received this call today for the first time. I hope they don't continue calling me!

I receive calls from 866-463-3020 two-three times a day. I never answer. I called Sprint to make them aware of it. Sprint says they NEVER call, that they only use email or text-msg. if they want to get in touch with their customers. I hope this helps.

This call is from Sprint/Nextel trying to sell an additional line of service.

i keep getting these calls about every 2 days or so. so annoying!!!
i called back and the message said if i was interested in promotional offers to press a button and someone would call me back. i pressed the button saying i wasn't interested. That didn't stop the calls!!!

Only came up as the number, no message left. I never answer a call like that.

Getting them twice a day.

866.463.3021 is the same as 866.463.3020.
Sprint is useless in stopping these calls.

I don't know who keeps calling me from this number, but i wish they would stop.

ITS SPRINT.

Just received a call from this number, didn't answer because I didn't recognize it. This was Nov 2. at 12:27p.

I followed AVERY's post from 10/3/2006 and called the opt out number. Hopefully this will stop all calls. Call it.
The opt-out number on the card is 1-800-865-7786 and following the voice prompts

I have also been with sprint for many years (about 8). Just started getting calls from 866-463-3020 several times the past two weeks. Twice today already (not even 3pm). All I did was google the number and found this...glad to hear its not just me getting it, but also not glad to hear they are spamming so many people :( If I only knew where that call center was....

I have been with sprint for more then 4 years and I have just started getting called by whoever this is, I wish it would stop

I got this call, the second time in about 3 weeks. I NEVER pick up a number I do no recognize especially during peak hours.

I have received several calls from this number but have not answered or called back.
