Sprint is really pissin' me off!

So with their new 'green' initiative I'm no longer receiving a paper invoice of my bill with Sprint. Instead I got a carrier transport formatted bill summary which looks like a fancy packaging of CDRs.

I request the layout guide so that I can build a custom SQL database to load my new invoice.

Oh, that's only 9 pages for the programmer's guide and 258 pages for the file layout details. D:

On top of that noone at Sprint can actually tell me how to pull the AMOUNT DUE from this pile of crap.

Why couldn't they have just generated my old invoice into a PDF and slapped it onto a CD?

    he had just eaten some kind of purple ice cream so it was like old-forum-purple liquid with chunks of noodle in it

    they should have charged him extra, though because he clearly ate more than he could

    AT&T pisses me off, but my parents pay for it, so I guess that's a sweet deal.

    Thinking about getting an iPhone. I know the dropped call rate is high, but at the moment EVERY call I make is ended by being dropped anyway, so might as well have a neat phone, right?

    Once I travel out of my city I might as well shut my phone off because it quickly displays "SOS" where the bars should be. I'm not really sure why this is.

    You people in your fancy-ass phones. My phone makes phone calls and that's it. Verizon sends me a bill with a number on it, and I pay that amount.

    Simplify dogies.

    Not Sprint the wireless carrier. Sprint the interexchange carrier. This is carrier to carrier billing.

    And the basic thing is why in the hell do they want me to build a database just to read their bill. Why can't they send the damn thing in PDF format if they want to save the planet.

    I dropped it over the weekend.

    Also, the blackberry clitoris doesn't let me scroll down and sometimes it'll randomly shut off as well.

    My parents used our free upgrade to upgrade my sister's phone because she wanted a different color. Don't get me wrong, I treat my phone well, despite it's looks.
