The Sprint plan certainly looks good! I am just concerned about the coverage and customer service. I have heard nothing but bad things.

Re: verizon visual voicemail
 

they roam of vzw towers so the coverage should be the same. and as long as you don't have more roaming minutes than regular it won't cost you a dime.

Customer service on Sprint has also dramatically improved over the last year and a half. 2 years ago I couldn't recommend it within good conscience, but now I can honestly say their service/support is pretty great.

I called tech support the other day and got a live person who understood my problem and spoke perfect English, in only about 2-3 rings.

Sprint got a lot of bad press regarding their CS, so I think they've shaped up dramatically. Service coverage is decent. Yes, you can roam on VZ, but there's no EVDO roaming agreement (so you're stuck with 2G when roaming), and there's no mobile-to-mobile, etc., not to mention it will suck your battery dry since the device will be desperately trying to switch back to Sprint at every chance. Also, when switching between in/out of roaming, your current call will drop.
So, yes, you can roam if in a weak coverage area, but you're better off on a good native Sprint coverage area.

Check your area on their coverage map- their service isn't half as bad as people make it seem. I've had everyone (VZ, AT&T, Tmobile, Nextel, etc), and Sprint's CDMA service is my personal choice.

If its something that would really be of use, by all means, try it. I think that if the app is available for the Omnia and the TP, it should be possible to extract the app and pack it up as a cab.

Re: verizon visual voicemail
 

Is it routed through the network to where it has to have a subscription? It would be cool if it was ripped, cab'ed, and FREE!

Re: verizon visual voicemail
 

Nah, if it is a paid service, you would have to "authenticate" Trust me, VZW ain't giving out any programs or apps if they can't ensure that you PAY for it.

Re: verizon visual voicemail
 

What a shame... Verizon really gets me upset. I complain yet I never leave,lol.

Re: verizon visual voicemail
 

Well once the cab is ripped, then we can find out.
I am really getting sick of the Verizon BS. Each day the Sprint everything plan seems good and how about the Touch Pro that isn't crippled? Common Verizon, you guys suck!
I guess I could do a sprint trial...

Re: verizon visual voicemail
 

I was just looking at the sprint coverage, and by comparison, its sucks! I'd be roaming alot!

Re: verizon visual voicemail
 

Yup. I have had several cosuins down here with it and they ended up leaving after their contract was done to go to Cricket! Lol. They can at least have coverage. They just kept their Sprint phones and moved on to a cheaper carrier.
