How much is your monthly Sprint bill JUST IN TAXES/SURCHARGES?
-
- Yep, only reason was because I sold my Bold and didn't want to re-buy another one. If I had my Bold still I would have sold my other phone and just reactivated the Bold.
I had AT&T for 10 months or so, wasn't that short.10-20-09 04:00 PMLike 0 - I never noticed the taxes from 2 cities. I have 8 lines but this seems excessive. My office is in Elgin,I'll but I live in Lake in the Hills,IL. The bill is sent to my office. Time to call sprint again.

You should have a huge credit coming back. It looks like you have 2 city taxes and 2 state taxes.10-20-09 06:19 PMLike 0 - from what I can see it looks like using the Lake In The Hills address lowers your tax rate. Probably because its not in kane county. Elgin can hit you up with cook county tax depending on the address.10-20-09 06:22 PMLike 0

1) Cheaper monthly rate
2) When you sell your current phone.
i.e., paid an ETF to leave Sprint, bought a Bold for $125. Sold it for $350, so it covers the Sprint ETF.10-20-09 06:48 PMLike 0 -

- Heres an update. Talked to Jerry at sprint cust care and he agreed that I've been paying 2 cities' taxes since Jan 08. He said it will be taken care of and reimbursed for the amount. He then gave me a case #.
The best part of this is that I have looked over the bill from time to time to make sure certain credits and discounts had been applied, but seemed to have missed this tax issue. For close to 2 years! I can"t blame Sprint for that part. Haha10-22-09 09:17 AMLike 0 -

- I think I need some assistance on this one. Just got off the phone with some supervisor (name and id noted) saying that its Sprint policy to only credut back 60 days worth. So, basically, she s saying I'm sol on the remaining 16 months of getting double tax. Best part being she was unable to answer where I signed off on this 60 day credit info. Apparently she's escalating this to some other dept? Any ideas guys/girls? I just ported over 3 lines 10 days ago. I could awlays cancel them. I undertsand this shouldve been caught on my end but, it bothers me that I can talk to 5 different supervisors on any issue and get 5 different answers. Thanks everyone.

That will get you switched to retentions, which is a lot more likely to bend. They have two options, credit back a double-tax screwup, or lose a bunch of lines over something stupid.10-26-09 04:02 PMLike 0 - I think I need some assistance on this one.

~us3rX10-26-09 09:10 PMLike 0 - Thanks to everyone that responded. Supposedly, a Sprint supervisor is calling me back sometime this Friday. If this net any results, I will pursue the other recommended avenues. I figure I owe Sprint as much. They have always worked with me on small issues.
