Has anyone > else noticed this? I have been a Sprint user for approximately five years, and have *never* experienced a disconnection such as you describe. My volume of usage is relatively low, but my calls tend to last from 30-60 minutes, and are made at all times of day. The only problem Sprint has ever given me was a real winner, though: on a Thanksgiving Day back in '84 or '85, I placed a call thru Sprint that got hung up somewhere within their network -- it didn't complete and it wouldn't let go of my line. It took two calls to Sprint from a pay phone, and about four hours, to get them to let go of my line! But they were prompt and courteous about removing the charge from my bill.
