Plus, I said that the price of Verizon and AT&T service with 450min, 4GB data, and unlimited texts, after corporate discount, is roughly the same price as I'll have to pay with Sprint ($65-70/mo after taxes and fees), but with Sprint I won't get 4G service. All other carriers have 4G in my area. I told you there was no advantage to Sprint, and that's the point of my OP: are there better options? Luckily, several people have given me better options. I hadn't even considered Tmobile, but their pricing and service is good where I'm at, and I get a 25% corporate discount with them.
So, your reply was pretty much a failure all around. Next time, try reading what I wrote, using proper grammar so you don't come across as a complete loser, and don't be in such a hurry to prove that you're a huge DB by attacking someone asking legitimate questions. Have some self-control. My advice is to go back to school and find discipline - you clearly could use it.
I'm not worried about the data cap - I don't use much data. And, as I stated in my OP, upgrading to a new phone, used or new, is what triggers this doubling in price on my account. It charges me the $10/mo premium data fee that I currently don't get charged cuz I'm grandfathered in, and it forces my account to drop the $20/mo service credit that I currently receive, according to the Executive Services representative I spoke with, Ke'sha, even if I'm just activating a phone and not changing my plan. Apparently there are all these triggers in the Sprint billing system that happen as a result of adding a new smartphone now.
It's not just the midwest. I'm in a city of 900k in the desert southwest and, with full reception on my Hero, which has been a great little phone, despite what some DBs might think, I can only pull a max of 50KB/s, or just about 1/4 of T1 speeds. That's not great for 3G, and there is no Sprint 4G here, nor will there be for at least six more months. What's worse, is the towers here have been having known issues where 3G service is dropped to 2G service randomly after 7:00PM, an issue that the Sprint techs have repeatedly created trouble tickets about without resolution.
