I found this to be bothersome.  


I reside in both Canada and the US from time to time, and wanted to
subscribe to Sprint.  I dialed 1-800-877-4000 and asked to subscribe.
They put me on hold for a moment then asked me for information (name,
phone, address...etc).  I gave them both my American and Canadian
numbers, and as soon as the representative heard the Canadian number,
he said "that's a Canadian number right?". So I said "yes" and then
they became rude saying you can't sign up, you can't make calls from
canada, and then hung up on me.

Crazy service - trying to discourage me from signing up!

This makes no sense at all.  Don't they need customers?!

 - Annoyed to say the least -
