Sprint PCS Wireless Requires a Home Phone?
Ed Kohler
While updating my account information on the Sprint PCS web site today, I stumbled across a perplexing required field:

That's a strange request from a wireless company. Doesn't Sprint realize that some of their customers, like me, don't have a home phone, and haven't for years?

Luckily, I was able to figure out a way to fulfill their request. The error message says the field "cannot be empty," so empty it is not. Here's my new "home phone":

Recognize it? That's 800-SPR-INT1

Hey Sprint, don't require information that you don't really need. Just send a text message to my phone or email me if you want to chat.
