When is Sprint Chat ever online?

Their site says "9 a.m. - 12 a.m. Eastern Monday - Friday," (I'm assuming 12 a.m. means midnight), but any time I click the Chat button it always tells me they are unavailable. I've tried different browsers and different computers. What gives?

Call them. A question that takes 5 minutes over the phone will end up taking 45 minutes on the computer.

Trust Me! I did the online chat a little over a week ago and I asked a simple question that had me sitting on the PC waiting for silly responses for nearly 45 minutes.

Sad thing is, I then went to a Sprint Store the next day and had the question re-answered in 30 seconds. Moral of story = Online Chat is useless

Their Chat has always been fairly instant and well-informed for me. I got them to activate both my BB Tour and my HTC Hero when the online activation was not working.

I just called Sprint and asked about the Chat link failure, and the rep said it is only for existing Sprint customers.
