Called this morning, no caller ID so I hit reject. I do not believe a real Sprint number would not have a caller ID. Do not believe such callers, do not give them your SSN (nor anyone who calls you), or your PIN or anything else. If you want a new phone deal, hang up and call a real Sprint number as listed on your phone or website.
This number just called my cell phone. It was identified by my phone as "suspected spam" so i blocked it as it was still ringing. From reading a few of the other comments, it's possible that this number is Sprint's but also possible that it is sometimes being spoofed by scammers.
Just received a call from this number. Heavy foreign accent, giving me information about my phone but other than that, the connection was poor and I could understand much else. When I told him I couldn't understand him, he hung up. I called sprint customer service number and was told this is a phishing scam.
Two calls today, first ever to me from this number. I'm a Sprint customer for about eight years and have called/rcvd calls from Sprint but this # is not in my contacts. No Vmail left... smells of scam.
Sprint saying I could get an iPad added to my account for $40 a month because I’ve been a loyal customer so long. I couldn’t understand the sales person very well and don’t remember most of the details of the call because of that, but when I asked if they could email the info to me so I could think about it, I was told they couldn’t. When I asked if I could think about it and then call back, I was told I couldn’t do that because they were “only offering this very special deal to 50 Sprint customers a day”. At that point, I figured it had to be a scam and when I finally said I didn’t want to buy an iPad at the moment, the sales person immediately hung up on me.
There's computer software routinely used by all telecommunications companies that allows them to lookup phone numbers and see who (company) controls that number. Originally designed for and used by that old group of telemarketers that called you during dinner and asked if you were satisfied with your long distance company. All numbers had to be assigned to a carrier whether you made LD calls or not. If you started a new service and didn't designate a LD carrier you were automatically assigned to your local phone company (which got you billed the highest rates as it was always less costly if you were on a plan with a LD carrier specifically for the type of LD calls [domestic or international] you routinely made). That's how those telemarketers knew you weren't with their company before you ever picked up your phone and said, "Hello." Since those days of being charged more for calling out of state are pretty much gone with the inclusion of domestic calls being part of your cell phone service the software is used primarily now for verifying which company has controlling interest for a number and which company the controlling interest is being switched to since you are now able to switch carriers and keep your phone number. Before if you switched carriers (aka providers) you lost your number and were assigned a new one from the new provider you signed up with. With the introduction of cellular service to the masses the number of people switching between providers increased dramatically therefore increasing the workload for both providers involved. The one you left had to stop service, assign the number to a deadpool for a set amount of time, move it to the available pool, reassign it later to their new or existing customer. Cellular providers realized that allowing customers to keep their number when they switched would save the provider a ton of man hours if they just have up controlling interest to the provider you were switching too. When a change carries "an industry benefit" its swiftly agreed upon and put into policy. That's why you're now able to "port over" your number when you change service providers. The same type of issue is what did away with "roaming charges" you were hit with when you made cell calls and were outside your providers coverage area.
