Who Called Us

It is sprint offering "special deals" for the "prefered customers"

First time in a while since they called, guess that my name got back to the top of their list. Annoying as hell with a baby in the house

DE

said they were sprint and I was eligible for a free phone never came.

Sprint/Nextel

I do not answer, even though they call once a day!!!

They keep calling me. I put the number in my phonebook under "scam" so I know what it is, and set the ringer option to "none" for that number. They may not stop calling, but at least it won't be quite so annoying.

first I got a call from 859-212-1501. then this number. -- both on my mobile number. returned call from a different phone. This number (888-281-9351) said they were sprint/ nextel checking up on their customers... Really!

888-281-9351
got 2 calls:

06/07/07 @ 2:57 pm
06/11/07 @ 3:57 pm

No msg on either. I'm glad I read on here that it's some scam through Sprint. Got me thinking about changing providers now.

Scam, they are trying to steal your credit card numbers.

Didn't answer call, but second call in 2 days.

I return called the number, sprint with nextel said its an offerings number for customers. I told them to put me on a DO NOT CALL LIST...ok now.

STOP CALLING

I've answered this number a couple times and nobody has been on the phone. Don't answer!

They keep calling me and hanging up.

ROT IN HELL BASTARDS

From now on the only ones I will deal with regarding my accounts are my sprint Rep. Anyone else claiming to be from Sprint -- even if they legitimatly are -- I just say I am not authorized to give out any information and to contact either one of my Reps who will then relay any information that they might have. Won't give them my reps number. If they really are Sprint and not some 3rd party they will know how to get in touch with them.

(Con't from previous post)
A couple days later I get a call from my Sprint Rep asking why I had taken out four new lines of Service on the 11th. Told him about the call from Sprint Customer Care and gave him my notes I had on my conversation with Alonzo and he said he would look into it.

Turns out it wasn't Sprint customer Care but some 3rd party under contract w/Sprint called New Tech. Fortunatly my Sprint Reps (I've got two fantastic reps!!) were able to get those new lines dropped and make arrangements to return the "free" cards at no further cost to me.

Needless to say, I am very upset with Sprint. Not my Reps as they have come through for me time and time again getting me the best deals possible. I am upset with those at Sprint who reside in that rarified atmosphere (upper managemetn) who let their organization affiliate themselves with such outfits. I intend to let those powers that be know how dissatisfied I am with the way they do business and further put them on notice that any trust I had in their ethics and integrity has been severly compromised and if it weren't for my reps going the extra mile for me by first noticing the irregularity and calling me, then by doing whatever they had to to get me out of this mess I would have pulled all my accounts and be with Alltel right now.

My troubles w/this outfit began 5/11/07. I manage all our Sprint accounts at the facility I work at - PCS Cards, Smartphones, cell phones. Got a call from a guy named Alonzo saying he was with Sprint Customer Care. Without any prompting from me he was able to give me very detailed information about all our accounts, the PCS cards in particular.

He said that since all our accounts were in good standing we were eligible for a FREE upgrade from out Merlin 620's to the Pantech PX-500. I asked him numerous times during this conversation what the cost would be to me; i.e. do I have to extend the contracts, do I have to take on new lines of seervice, are these direct upgrades to the existing lines, etc., and throughout he repeatedly stated that no, I had to do nothing on my part except pay a totla of $12.00 for shipping. I thought that this was a good deal, I could upgrade the existing cards to the latest software and the most up-to-date tower information all for just $12.00. (SEE NEXT POST)

they called my phone on 5/17/07 and left no message. if it was important they would have left a message.

Call me during business hours & hang up when I answer. Kiss my butt and stop calling us!

who is this bogus phone caller? Who can I report this SOB to? They are a real Pain In The A$$.

Caused me to change away from Sprint to AT&T

Have been getting several calls on my cell phone. Picked up once, no response. Called back, infinite hold. This should be reported to the FCC

3 time a week callers. I just dont usually answer unknown callers.

Every day I get a call from that number. No one answers, and when I do not pick up, no message is left.

This # calls at least 2 times a day for the past 2 weeks or so. The 1st time they tried to give me a free cell phone...the rest of the times the line just hangs without anybody speaking. When I call this # it just rings twice, then with no background noise for approx 2min, it disconnects. STOP CALLING ME!!!

These are sprint and nextel numbers 888-281-9351 and 8664633017 are sprint /nextel

Recieved several calls on my cell for the past 10 days between 9-1, sometimes it only rings once. The two times I've answered there was no response. When I tried to call back, I was put on hold by an automated system for 5 minutes. I contacted Sprint and it is not them, but could be someone posing as a Sprint dealer. They suggested complaining to Sprint customer service e-mail and if enought peope complain, then maybe they'll be more proactive.

I'm getting annoyed with the calls that I'm getting from this number. More annoying is that they call at the middle of the night and disturb my sleep.

I get calls twice a day from this number, Monday thru Friday. I'm calling Sprint to see if they know who is doing this. Hope it's not them.

Call the number and tell them to stop calling you. Thats what i did.

After my last tirade to Sprint, and telling them that if I got one more call I would cancel, the calls have stopped. I'm on Month-to-Month with them, and evidently they are trying to get me to sign a contract. I mentioned that harrassing me may not be the best way to get me to sign a contract.

I too am receiving annoying calls from 888-281-9351. I don't answer nor do they leave a msg. I have been a Sprint customer for over 10 years. I will be changing my service when my contract is up.

second time I have a missed call from this phone number. Glad to find this web site so I can now understand it is a sales pitch. Thanks

I've received repeated phone calls from this number. When I pick up, no one answers. The calls have been to my cell phone.
Latest call:
4/11/07 11:22 AM EDT

called, no message, call back and it disconnects. will try bothering them throughout the day.

They have been calling for the last few days, finally called it back, and got a real person after a minute. I said this number keeps calling me and I dont know why, her answer was the "auto-dailing machine is broke".

They call once a day, but never leave a message

they call about 3 times a day. Called them back and they said they are having some issues and the way to get removed is to not answer or call back. I plan to call back ofter and cost them money.

Received three calls from this number. When I answered one, no one was there; the other two stopped after one ring. Called sprint customer service and I was *already* on their list to not be called from outside sources. The rep suggested that it might be billing, but that since my account was up to date, it didn't make sense. Very strange.

More telemarking calls from Sprint! I've been getting calls almost everyday (M-Sat) for weeks now. Told them to take me off the list over 6 months ago.

I will be switching to a different carrier soon!

I get this call once a week. no conversation...and when I call back...aotomated message picks up and says the next available rep will assist you shortly.

Well, I got another call today at 11:15 am. And one the other day 3/23 @ 5:06 pm. It looks like they don't want to stop. I've contact Sprint customer service again. They may lose a customer.

no message when not picked up, call about 3 times a day

3/17: -- can't remember the time but I answered and a man offered me a wireless card for my computer. I said No and to take me off the list.
3/19: can't recall the time -- Answered and asked if I wanted an additional line of service. I said I wanted to be taken off the list and if I wanted an additional line of service, I know where my nearest Sprint store is and I would go there!
3/19: 10:32AM
10:33AM

3/22: 12:01PM
- called Sprint Customer Service and asked to be taken off their call lists... Reps computer froze, had to wait for her to reboot her computer... Finally told that they put a note in my account not to be called again. As I was getting off the phone, she asked me if I wanted to ADD AN ADDITIONAL LINE TODAY... which is what the dumb number I was calling about asked in the first place. I said -- are you really serious right now?!??!?!

The calls continued even after she "made a note in my account"
3/23: 12:18PM
3/26: 1:30PM


THIS MUST STOP.. Will call Sprint again tonight and find out what their excuse is for these calls continuing like this.

Called but didn't leave a message. Wen I called back, they picked up but didn't say anything.

How do I stop these calls?

Received two more calls from them.
03/19/2007 @ 17:43 ET
03/20/2007 @ 14:30 ET

Sprint was supposed to remove it within 30 days from my request to add it to their do-not-call list. I requested that on 02/23, so it has been 25-26 days.

Called them back and they advised that it was them and it was a 3rd party corp they hired. They cancelled the contract and they're still calling with autodialers. Sp/Nex rep said Do not pick up phone when it calls.

Hung up on me

I got a call from this number today. I wasnt able to answer. I called the number back twice. The first time I could hear noise in the back ground but no one would talk. The second time it only rang once and then it was dead quiet.

I call them back 10 times for every time I get a call from them. They will answer if you wait long enough. I ask them a bunch of dumb questions and string them along for a while then hang up. Its fun, everyone should do it.

fuck off

I get a call on my cell phone from this number at least once a day. This morning I called the number back and asked them to take the number off their list. They said they would. 2 hours later I got ANOTHER call from them. I called back and asked what company they were. The rep said "Sprint together with Nextel" (which is Sprint's motto these days). I told them I had already asked them to take the number off. The rep apologized for the inconvenience and said the number would be removed. It better be.

They tried to call me twice today so far, and i was unable to answer the phone. I was in a meeting with our city mayor at the time!

Report them to the FCC at:

Sprint is looking at getting taken off our corporate account if they continue with this harassment.

Sprint marketing. Been getting 2-3 calls a day for several weeks but I just ignored them. Then yesterday they woke me up at 7:00 AM and then again at 8:00 AM. I called Sprint and had them remove me from their marketing calls. The rep was nice and did it right away. She then tried to keep me on the phone with more sprint offers. They just don't give up.

It is sprint. Sprint specific opt out of call list number is 800-856-7786

Calling my cell phone constantly over the past week. I called back, got an auto-operator asking me to hold, and was hung up on 3 minutes later. I have a Sprint cell phone.

I have been getting calls from this number over the last few weeks now. Sometimes no calls for a week, then a call every day. It usually rings once and then they hang up. No one is ever on the other line. Makes no sense to me, all they are doing is pissing their customers off. This may just be what will make me consider going with another company...

8:46 am 3/12/07
6:12 am 3/12/07
10:22 am 3/9/07
11:21 am 3/7/07
and others that have fallen off my missed calls list.

I'm figuring they use the area codes to determine what time they call people, which led to my 6:12 am call out here on the west coast. I have an east coast area code, refusing to change b/c they want another 2 year agreement and mine is pretty much up.

I'm looking at cingular or verizon due to bad service from sprint/nextel in my area.

But thanks for my Wake-Up call this morning, Sprint!

There are several numbers Sprint is using to spam their customers.

forums.wirelessadvisor.com

dial *2 and ask to be removed from the Sprint family telemarketers

this number called me once about a week and a half ago and has called me once a day for the past 4 days!!

They call me once a week roughly on thursdays. I never answer but I wish these cowards would at least say something. Something is awry in phoneville.

Been called MANY times. I never answer for fear of others. I called back from my work phone and was put on hold. I fear this may be a call from the LORD!

Missed call, did not leave voicemail

I've been getting calls from this number that wake me up every morning for over a week now. They don't leave a message and the one time I answered no one talked to me. I tried to call them back to have them remove me from their list and they did not identify what company they were from, just had an automated system that told me to hold for the next representative. After holding for several minutes, I hung up. After looking it up online, I called Sprint, since I read that it was one of their companies, and they told me they disabled the number from their end...we'll see if it works. I'm already on the no call list, so you'd think I wouldn't have had to worry about it in the first place.

stop calling me.

they called:

03/01/2007 @ 2:02pm (pacific)
03/06/2007 @ 2:17pm (pacific)

I didn't pick up either and they never left a message. Don't they have to register an 888 number somewhere - can't people lookup that information to take action? I would think that we could because they are doing fraudulent activity.

I have been receivng calls from 888-281-9351 on my cell number, which I have listed on national do not call registry. I have even requested them to delist ..without change. I have reported against them to National Do Not Call Registry. Hope everyone does the same....

This # called my cell @ 2:56 pm on 2-28-07. They didn't leave a message.
I really HATE SPRINT anyway! They are a traitor to our country by taking jobs that could go to needy Americans and giving them to freaking INDIA! I HATE traitor companies such as sprint and them spamming/harassing me with texts and calls to advertise their "services" doesn't help my already very low opinion of them!

calls every day around 11:15 a.m. ... does not leave a message.

888-281-9351 called... no message

called twice once on 2/22/07 and 2/27/07

sprint. f;em

The *2 Sprint representative confirmed that this number is the Sprint Marketing department. Additionally, they claim that the number does not count against minutes. She then had me put on a "do not call" list, but that may take 30 days to activate. Note that national "do not call lists" do not apply to this if you have done business with sprint.

In short, call *2 and ask them to put you on the do not call list, and specifically mention that number. Keith.

I called *2 (Sprint) and talked to a representative. I explained the situation. She is going to contact the phone number and see what it's all about.

I called the number back from an office phone (to not use up my minutes). The rep there identified herself as working for sprint/nextel. Then asked for my number (which I provided) and then my name (which I refused to provide). We went back in forth with me insisting that I don't know that she is actually working for sprint. So I hung up.

argh, now there calling me too

Called my Sprint cell on a Saturday at around noon. When I picked up the call was disconnected...

I don't even have sprint anymore. i just switched to T-Mobile (same phone number) and the calls didn't start till after i switched.

This number has been calling me almost every other day for the past few weeks. I never answer beacuse i don't answer numbers i don't know. I'm just glad to see i'm not the only one

I've been getting calls from this number also.

Recieved a call literally every day for the past week and counting, always in the middle of my Art History class, so I cannot answer. Very irritating.

It is Sprint! They are damaging their own reputation. Why would anyone waste their own resources to annoy people?

This is definitely a Sprint subcontracted firm. I called Sprint and told them to stop all solicitation calls and they said it can take up to 30 days to stop and just to tell the caller the same thing if they call back which I did and they told me it would take them another 30 days to stop call and that I should just ignore any further calls which is what I was doing in the first place!!!!

Been receiving calls for about two weeks. They call my business number and then nothing! I called it back and asked them to take my phone number off of the list. They kept trying to get personal information. I told them it was none of their d&@m business and to quit calling my company!

2007-01-30
Sprint/Nextel
Started asking account info. I said no and hung up.

claimed to be sprint as well.

Called me at 10:40 am Jan 29, 2007 ... left no message. Who is this? Stop calling!

This number has called my phone almost every day for months as well. Same thing as all the rest of you said, they wont leave a damn message. Ooooh its frustrating!

i picked up and no one was there, who ever it is, is wasting my time and money.

stop calling!!!

888-281-9351 popped up on ID, called it back on another phone, got automated message to wait for rep. Never trusted those calls. They should be blocked for soliciting. How did they get my number?

Called my cell & no answer when picked up. Registered with Do Not Call!

Stop calling my cell phone. Sprint should do something about this.

you can file a complaint on:
donotcall.gov

your phone must be registered on the goverment national do not cal list for at least 30 days.

They called on the house phone(we have Vonage service through a Comcast cable modem. I let the answering machine get it, but they didn't leave a message. Literally 30 seconds later, they called my cell phone. I thought this was fishy, so I searched the internet and found this site.

Receive calls from this number at least twice a day. No messages left, and will not tell who is calling. Getting very annoyed.

So I got called by this number several times, always missed it. I contacted sprint and asked them to give me a record of each call (instead of just total minutes) as part of my bill. When I picked up the call from this number I asked the person to take me off the list. It's been well over a week. . .not a single call.

I received a call yesterday from a woman with "special offers" on my Nextel service. When I asked her what they were, she put me on hold to pull my account and see what service plan I had. I hung up, she called back. I told her I was going to check pricing plans on their website, thanked her, and hung up. Today, I received another call from that same number, so I called *2 and told them to take me off their solicitation list. Hope that works.

Got a call from them today. Missed it. I'll pick it up next time. I'll tell them one more call and I call the Attorney General, my local news station, and look into sueing for lost time/minutes. We'll see what happens.

I get calls from Sprint/Nextel every day from a few different numbers. I call back and press whatever to be removed, but I never am. I finally wrote to customer service and they said they have requested me to be put on DNC list for them, but it will take 30 days. Yeah, right. If every database update took me 30 days, I wouldn't have a job before I could sit down in my cube.

This number has called me up to 5 times every day since 11/27/2006. I just igore it. But what he is doing?

1-2 calls every week. Message never left. If it's not important STOP!!!!!

This number calls my cell every day - ten times a day. They only let the phone ring two times and I never answer it because I don't recognize the number. Make them stop!!!!!

It called me but didn't answer when I picked up.

Called my cell phone 8 times. Tried to call back but no one anwers. Called Sprint/Nextel and was assured that I would not be getting anymore calls. If it happens again I am dropping Nextel on their dime!

SprintNextel. "Free" phone offer. Didn't want, but I've received 7 calls in the last 5 days. Quite annoying.

I get so annoyed when I get calls on my cell phone from 800/888 numbers. I don't answer, because why should I waste my minutes telling someone I don't want their stuff? If I wanted something, I would call them.

They called my house looking for me...they shouldn't have that number. After a certain time, there is no one there. If it is Sprint, they should call my cell phone, they have that number, it's one of theirs!!

called but didnt leave message. not sure what they want

I am a Sprint agent and I just got a call on this number. I am thinking though that seeing that my cell # is the number listed on my wifes personal account.

Well, it didn't work. They called me again!!!

23 calls so far, mornings usually before 10am EST.
No message left.

This phone number keeps calling me every freaking day between 9 AM and 10 AM. I did answer once and all they wanted to do was sell me a new phone because mine is two years old. They are full of it.

I have been receiveing daily calls from 888.281.9351 for the last couple of weeks. This is becoming extremely irritating.

they keep calling my cell phone number daily but dont leave a messasge or when i get to it in time they hang up.

This number has been calling at the same time every day for weeks. Stop calling me!!!!

11/1/06.

Unavailable, didn't answer it.

After seeing this, I checked my calling log. 888-281-9351 has been calling me every couple of days. I called them and told them to remove my number from their lists. The Nextel Operator was very courteous and said she would remove my number from their calling list.

recd call from this #, I did not answer as possible scam. Tried to call that # later and phone just rang, no answer. My # is on the natl do not call list. If this persists, the # will be reported to proper authorities.

I got a call from this number today with no one on the other end, and a busy signal when I tried to call back. I've told Sprint PCS in the past that I don't want them calling me. I called Sprint just now, and the representative confirmed that there were notes on the account when I called on August 24 and September 22 that I had said I don't want to receive any calls from them ever, but they still called me. He said there was some "disable calls" checkbox that was not checked on my account, so he checked that. I told him to add one more note that if I ever receive another solicitation call from Sprint, I'm switching to Cingular.

They called Monday-Friday last week, as well as Monday and Tuesday so far this week. I answered today and there was no one there.

recieved the last few days.

I tried to call back, bt they put me on hold for long time and then the phone hooked off.
the last time they called I picked up, but nobody was talking.

ok folks, I have not received a phone call from Sprint in over 5 days, here is the solution.

email them at this address and ask them to take your cell phone number off their promotional call list or else you will cancel your contract with them. it worked for me!. (Be sure to specify your cell # in the email).

officeofprivacy@sprint.com

Got call 10 times in last month. Not picking up. you don't.

they've called me 5 times. i never answer cas i think it's weird.

I have received these calls all week from this number.

10/25/06 - 12.52pm
10/26/06 12.37pm (twice)
10/27/06 11.25am

I called back the first time and said I would be directed to a representative, I hung up. I answered once before and no one was there. This is getting ridiculous.

called the number back it rang and then said please hold for next rep"

Answered the phone no one was there. So I hung up and looked up the number found this site and called them back. It didn't say who they were just put me on Hold... I decided not to wait past 2.5 mins

Unbelieveable, I just got another call from them within a few minutes....

3 calls a day for the last 2 weeks.
It's not even a live person, it's a message from Sprint/Nextel offering information on Broadband.

caller id says 888-281-9351. no one on the line when i answered, call disconnected

dates: 10-25-06/9:47 am
10-24-06 10:07 am

several others did not keep count.

Take me off the list

Missed call

I remember getting these calls a couple years ago as I was nearing the end of my contract. Now my contract is going to end in less than 6 mos., and I'm starting to get these calls again VERY often. Not sure if this is the case of anyone else, but I believe they have some sort of automated system to hook people in on deals as their contract is nearing end.

Received a call from 888-281-9351 recently. First time I've ever received a call from this #. I answered; no one was there. I called back and got the message "would be handled by the next available agent". While holding, I found this page and after reading a few posts, I hung up.

I don't have time to waste and if they call again, they're in for a surprise. I'll use the resources at my disposal to find those responsible and when we've concluded our "business", they'll be lucky if they're still capable of using a telephone.

Just found this site. I've gotten calls from this number, but I've never answered. The "1-888-" makes me liery of answering.

calls so far:
10/04 @ 10:43am
10/05 @ 11:27am
10/06 @ 9:32am
10/10 @ 10:03am
10/13 @ 10:30am
10/20 @ 10:45am

This number calls me everyday in the morning for no reason. Tell it to stop

The comment from "Rocky O" is very useful. I just spoke with Sprint and it only took 20 minutes to get a supervisor to promise to remove my number from their call list.

Called me at 10:42 Eastern on 10/18/2006 with no info other than number. When I tried to call back, I got a message that my call "would be handled by the next available agent". After 5 minutes of *very* quiet muzak, the call was disconnected (not by me). I tried again and there was no action for five minutes, so I hung up.

I've received about 3 calls in a span of 2 weeks from 888-281-9351. I didn't answer and they never leave a message. I dialed *2 and asked to be removed from there calling list.

Sprint gave me instructions but they said it only pertains to sprint/nextel. They said to send an email to officeofprivacy@sprint.com and include the phone number of the caller and to say that you do not wish to receive promotional calls and to remove you from their third party vender lists.

STOP CALLING ME!!! Everyday (At least 5 times) I get a call from them... I tried to call back to tell them to leave me alone. Noone was there.

This is the 5th day in a row this number has called. i know its a scam im def not answering!

this is at least the third time I have recieved a call from sprint/nextel trying to hock wireless laptop junk, I wonder why my cell phone bill is so high....asked to be removed from their list..lady seemed to respect my wishes

The keep calling me... I have never answered it and they don't leave a message

Upon pickup no response. They should not be harassing me.

Calls a few times a wk,never pick up.

Has called 5 times in 2 days
Its SPRINT.

This is day #2 they've called.
i'm getting annoyed

I have been receiving calls from this number almost daily. They have called me atleast 5 times. They claim to be from Sprint, and want to give me some broadband laptop card. I have already declined so many times.

In the event that you change your number, you should contact Sprint Nextel to remove your old telephone number and add your new number to Sprint Nextel's do-not-call list, if you want to maintain your do-not-call preference. Also, please remember, you still will receive customer service or account-related calls from Sprint Nextel. Sprint Nextel checks the telephone numbers of residential non-subscribers on the national and state do-not-call registries and does not call persons who have put their numbers on those registries, except as otherwise permitted by law. For example, Sprint Nextel may contact former customers or others with whom the company has an established business relationship unless you are listed on our internal do-not-call list.

Do-Not-Call Policy. Sprint Nextel maintains its own "do-not-call" list to enable subscribers and potential customers to prevent future telephone marketing calls to any phone number. During a telemarketing call, you may be asked to contact Sprint Nextel Customer Care at a toll-free number given to you during the call if you wish to register a do-not-call request. You also may register your request by sending an email to officeofprivacy@sprint.com. Sprint Nextel will promptly record your preference, although you should allow up to thirty (30) days for your number to be removed from any Sprint Nextel sales campaign then underway.

I called the number back and reached a Sprint Rep - after hanging on hold for ever. She said they are offering a free phone for adding a line or a free set up for adding a laptop device.

Called back the number since the call was missed. No one answered and i was on hold for a while. Gave up and hung up.

sprint. they call me every day. sometimes at 7am PST.

email them with your # to stop calling you.. after about 30 days they finally will.. They use to call me 8x a week, everytime I'd send them to VM and they never left messages..

I checked the sprint website and found this:

this has to stop.

I got a phone call from this number for the first time today and did not answer. Looks like I did the right thing.

They call my phone on everyday at 8:35 a.m and 9:15 a.m. My postal code is 48374. The caller Id shows the number.

10.10.06 Call to cellphone @ 10.40am CST; upon pick up no response

10.09.06 Called Home Phone @ 9:41am CST; Answered - no repsonse on other side.

Have been calling my landline for awhile and I never answered. Today, 10/9/06, called me in my cell, he said his name is Hugo Ranier offering me a razor cell phone from Sprint for $49.99. I know sprint do not have razor phones. He also knows about Sprint special offers and phone deals. Told him I will check. I do not know how he got my number. A SCAM artist????

Been called 1x/day for past two weeks. Called back and was immediately automatically put on hold. After about 5 mins a woman answered, said she was with Sprint/Nextel, and did not ask for my SSN. I explained that I've been called several times. She said that it is an automatic calling system which has been dialing my number. She offered me the two special offers: (1) Laptop wireless access card; (2) Extra flip-phone w/ free activation. I declined both and asked if the system would stop calling me; she said yes. Never asked for my SSN but did ask for my mobile number to confirm. Was able to tell me my name based on the number; don't know if they're able to use an online directory to do that, though.... We'll see if they continue to call back.

Have called 10 or so times. Tried calling them back, put on long hold. Gave up.

called no message

once,sometimes twice a day for 2 weeks now. PITA

Sprint/Nextell has been calling everyday for one week. Iasked to be taken of their solicitation list, ....but no good. They keep calling!
Finally, I called Sprint customer service (*2) and reported the abuse!

I have been getting 3-4 calls from this number per day for the last two weeks. I am sick and tired of this. I call the number back and all it says is "wait while your party is reached" and eventually "the mailbox of the intended recipient is full, please call back" and I'm disconnected.

34 calls over 3 weeks. I am really mad. when I answer, they hang up.

CAll SPRINT *2 and ask them to remove your number from the Sprint Family telemarketers.

Since having problems with my phone, I have been to the Sprint Store 4 times in 2 weeks.....then this number started calling..... Sprint is history if this doesn't stop!!

4th call in 4 days. really starting to piss me off..lol i think i might try kathleenes approach...

I have been receiving up to 10 calls a day from this #. I answered twice, same dumb b**ch each time. Today I answered it and let loose with a barrage of swear words. I felt good about it at least.

888-281-9351 has been calling me all throughout this week... about 3 or 4 times in this past week alone!

Have recently switched to T-Mobile from Sprint/Nextel, keeping the same number. Third call in three days today (9/21). No response each time I pick up.

Called again. Has called again 4 more times. I have not picked up the phone.

they called me again and left a me a message this time...starting to get iritated especially since they call in the middle of class...

Reported call to donotcall.gov

Sugest everyone else do the same

was sitting in junior english today when my phone rang from a 1-888 number. Im thinkin what? so i call them back after class and im on hold for like 20 minutes. the lady finnaly answers and wants to sell me something cause im a "prefered customer" ok sure im 16 and allready V.I.P...lol whatever she better not call back...

beware of this number do not give personal info

person calls to try to sell me sprint....I'M ALREADY WITH SPRINT!

asked them not to call. I also show on my missed calls log that they've called 5 times in the last 10 days.

I GUESS I WILL SWITCH BACK TO CINGULAR SINCE ITS A SPRINT COMPANY............

Have also received several calls from this number. Don not answer. Never leave messages. Was going to call to find out what is going on but not after reading these threads. Getting very annoyed by this.

I've been called twice, on consecutive days - I refuse to pick up.

nextell\Sprint Called me @1058am on my nextell phone # I thought they wernt able to call your cell phone.

I was called on 9/12 at 7:30 PM and again today 9/14 at 3:29 PM. I did not answer either time and no message was left. Next time I will answer so I can yell :>

I have received calls from this number several times in the last week.
I called sprint customer service *2 and talked to Tracy. She asked me to call the national do not call list number. After taken several minutes to explain these calls are from sprint she dialed the number and a sprint telemarking girl came on the line. The telemarking rep asked for my name and phone number but I only gave my number and asked to be removed from their list. She mentioned my name and I said that is correct. I was told they have a computer system that makes these automated calls and I would be removed from their list.
The Sprint customer service girl stayed on the line during the call.
Hopefully they will stop this practice.

Received a call on my cell phone today at 4:18pm. Caller ID was blank. I didn't asnwer.

Received 4 calls in 3 days from (888) 281-9351.

Called Sprint Customer service and asked if these calls could be blocked. She said no, but that I could change my phone number. I then asked to speak to her supervisor, a
I waited on hold for well over half an hour, all the while tying up this representative's phone line. She could not take any other phone calls as long as I was on hold.

Eventually, a supervisor (named Freddie) (or someone portraying one) came on the line and immediately told me that my account had been taken off the solicitation list, and that I would be receiving NO further phone calls (or mailings) from Sprint/Nextel affiliates.

By this statement alone, he acknowledged that this was indeed a Sprint/Nextel affiliate, and that these calls COULD be stopped. But only a Supervisor could do it.


If you recieve phone calls from (888)-281-9351, call Sprint Customer service and DEMAND that they take you off their call list.
It will take time, and you must speak to a Supervisor, but they CAN do it.

Call from your Sprint phone. It will tie up their Customer Service lines, and they can't hang up on you. It looks like a dropped call on their reports and managers really hate that.
If enough people call and complain, then they will eventually get the message and stop these annoying phone calls.

Only time will tell.

I have received calls daily from this number for the past week. I didn't recognize the number so I wasn't answering the calls. I then became so curious I answered and a guy asked for me by my first name and then we were disconnected. I called back but was put on hold with a recording sayong a representative would be with me shortly. I didn't bother waiting so I hung up. Again, today I got another call. ARGH! What the heck???

I haven't answered their calls, but it fits. Sprint is my service provider and they've called 5 times this week. I'm pretty sure they're bored. No one wants to talk to me that much. 11:23a

Maybe They'll figure it out! If you don't leave a msg. Your not talking too me!

A call nearly every day this week; one last week. I did not recognize the number, and it was an '888', even though the '281' prefix may trick people into thinking it's from a local area code.

One just five minutes ago went to voice mail and they left an empty message (no voice, just the sound of rustling papers or an open car window).

I'm not even a Sprint customer. This is a Verizon mobile phone.number.

I've been getting some of the strangest phone calls in spanish over the last month. NO idea what it is about, other than it says premera numero uno, something or other. NOW I got this number. I'm getting SICK of these calls like this.

called me at 12:42:41pm... no caller id - just a number. I'm getting real tired for them calling while i am teaching classes...

I get a phone call from this phone number atleast 2-3 times per month. I never answer it, however I usually call it back to see who it was, as there is no name on the caller ID. It is always Sprint.

This number called my cell twice yesterday and now today two more times - so far - I didn't answer any of the calls and there was no message left. I thought an 888 number was odd t be phoning me, so I came here to look it up.

Apparently it is marketing for Sprint/Nextel.

Sprint is my current wireless carrier, but if they keep this up they won't be for much longer!

I got a call from this number once this afternoon. I dialed *2 from my Sprint phone and Sprint verified that this is indeed a valid number for their promotions and marketing department. I explained about this page, and that many people seem to think it's a scam. She acknowledged that it was legit, but also notated my account to show that I don't want to receive any promotions calls. We shall see what happens...

Several calls from this 888-281-9351. No messages left. Other number I got calls from a few weeks ago was Sprint/Nextel offering Wireless Access Card was 305-523-1100. Stop calling me :)

Got a call yesterday and one today. i didn't answer

they called my phone... i missed the call but found an 888 number to be an odd incoming on a cell

I got a call from this number but would not answer it. If it is Sprint they had best not keep calling because that is the FASTEST way to get me to dump their service. I warned DirecTV and they have stopped calling so far.

called several times. obviously on auto-dialer.

2 calls in 2 days (8-14 and 8-15), while I was in heavy freeway traffic. I'm glad to see who this was and that it's not worth my time (or life) to answer.

Assured me they were Sprint, said they were trying to offer me a wireless PC card for my laptop for my unused mintues.

I just called sprint Sprint Corporate Security (800 877 7330) and this number is Sprint. The rep in security told me that I could just tell them to stop calling and they would. I laught and told her that I told them a go ten times to stop and they still call. She did nothing else but say she is sorry and to have a good day.

I have been getting calls from this number over the past two months The last time I talked to them I told them that I'll cancel my plan if they call me one more time. The rep was quick to give me a confirmation number that my number is on the no call list. Well, today I just got another call and then I cancel my plan. I get a good price for my plan but I

Called me this morning and left no message. If this is Sprint, they are doing this using 2 different phone numbers. I am on the no-call list and reported their other number. Guess I will have to report this one too.

Every week I get a different representative and my cellular says the calls are coming from Florida. I always decline the offer and am very tired of having to repeat myself every week! It's great to know that I, too, am a preferred customer, but I do not need another cell phone!

called me today 8/10/06, don't know what they want. I guess the marketing people don't even respect your cell minutes.

They keep calling. Wasting my minutes.

missed call

Called repeatedly this past week.

i got this calls from this # about 4 times within past 2 weeks. it seems like scam according to other messages.

Called my cell 2:52p 8/2/06 in STL, MO.

8/4/06 8:00 pm EST Caller ID 8882819351

I'm not picking up the phone, this is the second time they've called consecutively

They asked me if I currently had a laptop and then claimed that they would give me a $150 discount on my next phone purchase and to phone them back at the number on my caller ID when I was ready

Numerous phone calls from 888-281-9531. No messages. NO one answers when called back.

Have been getting calls from 888-281-9351, It disrupts me as I wait for important calls and don't want to miss them - It has to stop

calls multiple times a day. Frustration drove me to answer only to get someone who spoke severely broken english and couldn't pronounce my name. Hung up immediately. This is ridiculous. Someone needs to shut this garbage down. It more or less borders on harrassment with the number of times they call a day.

this is pissin me the F@#$ off. this shit needs to stop. they keep calling . dont answer

Got a call, but did not answer. caller did not leave a message

Did not leave a message.

This number has been calling my cell every day at 10:30am, starting about July 5, sometimes twice a day, at 9:30am and at 10:30am. I've never answered it, and it's getting to be a pain in the butt. No name given. STOP CALLING... I ain't gonna answer anyway...

Anybody know if a complaint was filed with FTC. Would this help?

rn.ftc.gov

direct calling disable is what you ask for when you call sprint

Was called several times, never answered. I finally called them back, found out it's a private company with some sort of Sprint/Nextel contract to market extra (i.e. unneeded!) services. Spoke to a manager named Ellis who said he'd remove my name from the call list.
Based on the rep and Ellis, I'd say it's a West Indies-based call center. Massive waste of time and negative goodwill for S/N in my humble blah blah blah

Received call from this number multiple times. I answered once and the person claimed they were from Sprint and had a deal for me. I turned it down.

My cell phone has been called over a dozen times the last four weeks. Most recent call July 7th, at 11:55 am. When I answered there was repeated statements of hello. Then I hung up. Usually I miss the call and no message has ever been left.

Zipcode: 84011

888-281-9351...Contacted me on my cell several times - I'm annoyed if this is Sprint.

I'm getting calls from this number too and it's really annoying. Next time I will answer and if they try to sell me something from Sprint or Nextel - I will tell them to just cancel the service.

888-281-9351 called me this morning 06/30/06 at 10:44 am and I missed the call. It showed up as the number for missed call and they left no voice mail. Just a few minutes ago at 11:22 am a call under the name 'Private' called, I ignored it. I'm suspicious that it was the same number. I'm just going to keep ignoring them unless it gets out of hand.

they call everyday. will cancel service if it continues.

Daily calls received- many times twice daily. 9am-11am and again in the afternoon around 3pm. Tried calling the number to get off calling list- placed immediately on hold- no company name given on recorded line. How can this be stopped?????

I have received a call from this number several times in the last week or so. There is a delay. This delay usually indicates that I have received a computer dialed call, and so I hang up.

i received the call everyday. when i tried to call back, nobody answers the phone. please stop calling people around.

6 calls in 5 days.
Asked 4 times to be taken off their list.
When I asked why they would even *want* to call a customer again that had already declined their offer, the rep replied, "Well, *I* won't call you again but I can't speak for our other departments."

Mind-boggling.

Sprint Sucks!! This is obviously a scam and the only help they offer is to change MY number that I have had for 9 years. Cingular, here I come..

They've called me 4-5 times in the last 4 days. Answered once or twice - got a recorded Sprint-related greeting that I hung up on.
Jerks!

Got called on my cell multiple times, I never p/u and they never leave msgs.

6/27 10:24 am

6/21 2:55 pm

FOr the last 2 weeks every morning between 8:30 and 9:00 am

Called, sent it to voicemail, no message left. Probably a telemarketer.

Please take action against these calls and this sort of thing

Called me every single day in the past week. Very annoying

888-281-9351 calls my phone every morning around 9am. Been happening for 2 weeks. When i answer, noone's there; when i call back, just music & no answer

called 3 x within 10 minutes. i don't answer 800/888 #s to my cell.

They have called 4 times in the last week. Two I didn't answer, one was a recording from Sprint telling me to stay on the line (I hung up.) One I answered and no one was there. I recently complained about my bill. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Claims to be Sprint/Nextel. Told them that I was on the state and federal Do Not Call list so don't call back, I get a call every day around the same time. Called Sprint to file a complaint.

888-281-9351 called

this number has been calling me nearly every day for 2 weeks. i never pick up; they never leave a message.

they've called me every day around 9:40 a.m. for the past 2 weeks or so. i never answer a call i don't have programmed, and they never leave a message. thanks for the info. i'll try to call & complain to sprint for what it's worth.

these people call my cell and don't leave a message. I called back and waited on hold for a long time. Finally, I got through to someone who claimed to be sprint. They said they needed my sprint phone number to look up my account. I would not give it to them.

Called the number, it is sprint. I asked to be removed from future calls and was told my number was removed. We'll see.

2nd time in 4 days I received a call from this number. Called it back and talked with someone claiming to be a Sprint/Nextel rep. When I said I didn't want further calls from this number, they started asking me for info. I called Sprint via *4 on my phone and they gave me their fauld number which gives you no one to talk to to report this type of call.

Stop! this is an emergency phone

Got the same call today...no answer. I'm in Baltimore.

I got a call at 2:50pm EST from 1-888-281-9351. I didn't answer, but it seems like it is a scam based on these other threads. I never got this call before. I hope they don't call again; they didn't leave a message the first time

Thanks to everyone who commented. I now know to ignore the call in future

sprint/nextel

Person claimed they were from Sprint Nextel, offered me a free phone (Razor,Black version). Tenacious about SS#, drivers license #, date of birth. Wanted way too much personal info. for verification. Caution!!

Person claimed they were from Sprint Nextel, knew a lot of info about my account, and offered me a free phone as a "preferred customer".

I never happen to be near the phone when this number calls, but they keep doing so, every day for the last few weeks. Looks I'll have to call Sprint... Jerks. I called a few times, I always get something about waiting for the next representive and I sit there, waiting forever, until I hang up.

Was asked if I was "my name" and I said yes, then nothing.

I said hello a couple of times, but the line appeared dead. I've been getting and ignoring calls from this number for weeks.

Have been receiving calls from this number for weeks, I never answer, and they call all day from 8AM until 4PM

888-281-9351
I missed this call, and they didn't leave a message. I don't return calls when they don't leave a message.

They called me too. Yesterday, 4 times; I wasnt able to answer. Today when they call I pressed the talk button and left a meeting to talk but they hung up by the time I could say hello.

Im glad to know its a sales call. I called them back and a voice message came on and then all I heard was wasted minutes of music.

It is Sprint. They tried to upsell me on their new wireless plan for notebooks.

I telephoned Sprint customer service. They admitted that it is a company contracted by Sprint to make calls to Sprint customers. I read them the riot act, which probably won't help any, but it made me feel a lot better.

Has called my cell numerous times with no message. When I called, I got an automated system telling me to hold for the next representative, but no one ever came on the line. There was no agency name given when the call was answered.

called several times, refused to answer, no messages left once @ 6:52pm on 5/18,once @ 2:08pm on 5/23, once on 5/25 @9:54am

Person claimed they were from Sprint Nextel, knew a lot of info about my account, and offered me a free phone as a "preferred customer". Phone never arrived.

they called my cell 3 times!!
