[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
As an fyi, I got the S3 shortly after it came out, and knew about the Data, but had no idea about the Fading calling issues, or the dropped calls.

Regarding the Data, I was helping out others who had no idea that they'd be giving up Wimax by purchasing an LTE device, and would have to work with 3G until LTE went online.

If I knew about the Calling issues, I would Never have signed a new 2 year contract, and most likely would have purchased the S3 out of contract.

I was on the phone with Sprint customer service today for over an hour to discuss again the fading and dropped calls issues I am still having.

The rep was helpful, and I said I will probably be breaking my contract if the Calling issues go on for much longer, and that I want to have my account continue to be notated regarding the ongoing Calling issues. 4 calls had Faded and broken up just today, and I've about had it, which promoted me to call Sprint yet again.

I also mentioned that because of the Calling issues, I didn't want to be liable for the ETF, if and when I would be leaving Sprint. I explained that in 14 years, I have Never had the Calling issues I've been having for the past 2 months.

We had a very nice conversation, and she completely understood. I mentioned that I'll be calling Account Services to speak about my issues, and about the ETF. Raven asked if I'd like to speak with Account Services now. I said of course.

Account services got on the line, and completely understood my dismay with the Calling issues. My account was notated once again.

But she mentioned that the account only showed a few dropped calls, and that if someone looked at my account to work something out, they would see that it shows I have no issues, even though she believes me.

The reason was because when my calls are beginning to Fade off, and the caller keeps saying I don't hear you, are you still there, etc. I usually hang up and call right back.

I need to let the calls Drop off in order for Sprint to see I'm having issues. I didn't realize this, and while that's a pain to do, I'll have to start having the calls Drop.

I said that if these calling issues don't subside within 2 more months, I'll have to change carriers.

I also said that I really don't want to because I'm not very fond of Verizon, Atnt etc, but Fading and dropped calls is not very good for Business, or for my nerves.

And G forbid I need to call in for an Emergency.

I'll also be calling in everyday I experience Fading calls, and I'll be letting these Calls Drop.

I've about had it, and will refuse to pay an ETF, if I should leave Sprint. Hopefully that won't be necessary.

As long as my Account shows the dropped calls, and I have the Notes showing my issues, I believe the ETF won't be an issue.

Maybe some will get the their wishes, and the only customers remaining will be the satisfied ones. There may not be many, but those left might just be the only customers who are getting the services they are paying for.

I have put up with not being able to complete a majority of my calls without issue for 2 months. I was told that NYC may not be LTE ready for a Few Months.

I will Not tolerate not being able to complete calls without issue for a Few More Months, that's for sure.

I was also told that my issues may be a device issue, because if my SE4GT didn't haven issues with the Network, neither should my S3, because the LTE Network is not Switched On yet.

I can go to the store to have my S3 checked out and she will notate my account.

I said I was on my 3rd S3, and I doubt it's an S3 issue.

I said it is likely the way LTE devices are communicating with the being worked on Network.

She mentioned earner that is the case, but then said the above after I mentioned I had no issues with the SE4GT.

Then she mentioned if I live near the water, there could be issues for still unknown reasons, other than the water can cause issues.

I said to myself, Uh Oh, here comes the BS.

It was going so good up to then.

I assured her I don't live near the water.

Anyway......
