First in a series of three quick, but relatively boring Hoboken business updates this hour (every 15 minutes).
Sprint is doomed, “inconveniently” moving to North Bergen. Hey, at least there’s still Radio Shack!
Original Entry (from 2006!)
Description – Sprint/Nextel cell phone store.
Website – www.nextel.com
Address – 114 Washington St, Hoboken, NJ 07030
Telephone – (201) 656-6325

That’s what Sprint gets for not reaching a deal with Apple for the iPhone.
Oh, wait, do you mean Apple tied itself to the worst mobile carrier, AT&T, on PURPOSE?

I have to say I’m not all that surprised. I’m a Sprint customer and I don’t think I’ve ever seen more than 1-2 customers in there at a time no matter when I walked in. Most of the time the place was empty. Thankfully there are tons of stores in the city.

Sprint is horrible. My girlfriend tried for months to get mysterious charges taken off her bill only to be told something different every time. She would eventually get in touch with someone who wasn’t an asshole to her and remove the charges. Next month, they would be back.
She finally just paid the cancellation fee and switched carriers.
I don’t know what their service was like, but if you ever had to speak to someone to get a problem taken care of you were screwed. As a result they have lost customers in droves.
Good riddance.

I’ve actually been a Sprint customer for 8 years and I’ve never had a problem with my bills or service. I refuse to switch!

I refuse to switch because although I left my old job (not w/ Sprint) over 3 years ago, I still get a nice size discount from the employee program so why should I change when anywhere else my bill would be at least double what I pay now. Plus I’ve never had any big problems with Sprint or the service. Yeah other carriers have better phones, but I don’t need anything overly fancy.

That store was definitely a waste of space. They’d always sent me to another store for technical issues with my phone. On the other hand, Sprint does have decent over-the-phone customer service (imho). It’s just their set up stores like this one in Hoboken needs improvement. Good-bye. You will likely not be missed by anyone, Sprint/Nextel store…

Why are a few people here equating a store’s relocation with a company’s demise?
I’ve had Sprint, Verizon, & Cingular/AT&T.
Never had a single problem with any of them, but I’ve always heard the dishonest misrepresentations of Sprint and Cingular/AT&T – yet never Verizon. The only problem I’ve had with any of them is the problem with Verizon and global calls (Europe), and some issues with coverage in CA. But all that’s in the past. For the most part, I can’t tell the difference between one and another except for phone offerings.

Great that Sprint left! Now I can fulfill my life-long dream of opening The Plaintruthiness Nail Salon! It was either that or a real estate agency, but there’s already 4 or more on that block.

Great spot for a pawn shop!

IIRC the pawn shop was where “Yes I Do” is now.
