I have been a Sprint customer for almost a year, and have had problems with them for just as long. I ordered 1 phone and they sent me 2 additional phones w/2 additional bills, and when I wouldn't pay, they sent the 2 accounts to a collection agency, to ruin my credit! Luckily they realized their mistake and that problem has been cleared up. But now, I am currently living in Syracuse, NY (since August, in grad school) and my phone doesn't get reception. Every call I make is a dropped call, so they give me $10 credit per month. I can hardly use my phone indoors or outdoors, yet I have to pay $80 a month for a service asked for, which isn't being provided. When I enter my zip code on their website, it says my area has excellent coverage, which is a lie!! Can a pro-bono lawyer please help me???

Check your state's Bar Association online and it should list lawyers who do pro bono work.

you can easily get out of it you just have to pay the 175 dollar fee. The same amount they gave you off your phone when you started with them. Basically you just have to pay for the rest of your phone to end it.
Just call sprint tell them you want to cancel and they will charge you and you will be done. You agreed to a contract with terms for early termination so if you want to terminate early you have to abide by those terms.
No lawyer needed.

Glad you found a lawyer. Those contracts you sign are airtight though. Good Luck getting out of it without screwing your credit up.

It sounds like you needed to jump on this one a little bit earlier.
You can't ignore a problem, and hope it will go away, and then only try to get it straightened out after it gets turned over to collections.
Cell phone companies are devious when it comes to this sh**, but you've got to stay vigilant.
Good luck! (But you are probably going to be shelling out cash).

You don't need a lawyer, contact the Better Business Bureau in your state!
