Name that tune (Sprint on-hold music).

What's the on-hold music when on the Sprint cellphone activation call center?

To cut a very long story short, I've been trying to port an existing number to Sprint for more nearly a month--I spend at least an hour on hold each day. I've developed some sort of Stockholm Syndrome and find myself humming their catchy, jazzy hold music at odd moments. I know I've heard it before. I have a vague recollection of it being used as "______'s Theme"
in a movie(?) Help me before I go completely mad!

(And yes, I have gone to the top, emailed the CEO and Board Chair, been referred to the VIP customer service, given a personal agent and am still without Sprint service. The story of my sordid experience will be submitted to Consumerist when the saga ends).

Can you record a sample? --'s Theme makes me think Nadia's Theme, but surely that's not it.

Or give us the phone number, at least.

I know that song all too well. I'm still trying to get a refund from Sprint and suffer through 20 minutes of that saxophone every week. Fuck Sprint, that song, and those Indian people who cannot ever help me! I hope we find out who performs that song so I can track them down and break their ribs.

Ahhhhhh. Sometimes it feels so good to hijack a thread and let it all hang out.

Sorry. The number is 888-715-4588. Feel free to waste Sprint's money calling it.
