If you get good phone signal from both companies, then it would come down to the money aspect. I can't get Verizon signal at my house, but the sprint signal is great.

Actually yes the other phone is eligible. I got all the way to retentions last night regarding the dead keyboard on my TP and I am surprised they didn't mention anything like this. That doesn't mean I can't do it though. And what phone would my wife use?
Speaking of coverage, on my old dumb Sanyo phone, I had pretty decent Sprint coverage in most places. Sprint's higher frequency seemed to cause a bigger hit to signal strength indoors but I was usually fine. My TP, after switching to MightyROM, has noticably poorer reception than my old Sanyo, but it was equal on the stock Sprint rom, after switching the radio to Telus 1.04. But on MightyROM, I lost signal strength. I have dropped calls. And I was in a Chili's the other week and everyone had Verizon BBs and had fine service. Mine was hunting for service. But I am confident my old Sanyo would have had at least 1 or 2 bars.
