Wireless contracts yield better customer service, survey says

(CNN) -- Few people would say they actually enjoy contacting their wireless carrier for customer service. But if you have a contract for your cell phone, you'll probably get slightly better service, according to a new survey from J.D. Power and Associates.

This survey of U.S. consumers measures overall customer-care performance on a 1,000-point scale. Cell phone users who sign a contract for wireless service gave an average rating of 761 points for their customer-care experience, in contrast to an average 738 points for no-contract and prepaid users.

Why the difference? It's mostly about hold time. Noncontract customers reported holding 5.5 minutes on average before speaking to a live representative, just over a minute longer than the average wait for contract customers.

Kirk Parsons, J.D. Power's senior director of wireless services, said that when customer care reps can access more customer information, hold times drop.

"Full-service providers generally have access to existing account information that helps identify the customer immediately once contact is made," he said.

But the quality of interactions also counts. On this front, noncontract wireless customers reported being considerably less satisfied with representatives' knowledge of their plans -- and with their seemingly apathetic attitude.

Among the major carriers that offer cell phone contracts, Verizon Wireless received J.D. Power's highest ranking, followed closely by T-Mobile. (Recently Verizon has been touting how one of its customer-care representatives helped a customer get help during a life-threatening emergency.)

AT&T and Sprint tied for the bottom ranking -- which may not bode well for current T-Mobile customers if the planned AT&T acquisition of T-Mobile ends up happening.

Among noncontract providers, Boost Mobile received the highest ranking and Virgin Mobile and Net10 the lowest.

Smartphone owners tend to need more customer service. According to the survey, 48% of smartphone owners have contacted their carrier with an issue in the last six months, compared to 35% of other cell phone users. Since the vast majority of U.S. smartphones come with carrier contracts, then maybe it's not so surprising that 40% of calls from contract customers concerned phone malfunctions or repairs.

In terms of customer service, smartphone users and feature phone users reported nearly identical average levels of overall satisfaction.
