While the logic is sound, in execution it's not so rosy. Data roaming limits you to 1x, even when evdo is available, and sprint forces their customers on the sprint network, even when the coverage from verizon is ten times better, and sprints coverage is unreliable.

Roaming is also limited on Sprint, you can't just roam all the time. And Cricket has roaming too, so the logic also applies there.
Heck, T-Mobile has roaming too, so the same logic applies there. Ther eprobably isn't one place in the whole nation where Sprint has voice service and T-Mobile doesn't have voice service or roaming. So if we're talking about roaming, then there is no way T-Mobile is behind Sp[rint in terms of voice service. There is GSM voice service pretty much everywhere in this nation. Even way out in the middle of the desert there is some sort of roaming.
