Talking How Long Have You Been With Your Current Provider

How long have you been with your current provider?
How many did you have before this current provider?
Have you switch to another provider only to go back to the one you left?

I'm currently with Sprint and have been since Feb 11, 2002
I didn't have any other provider before them and today I found out that even though I haven't been with Sprint for 10+ years I'm still eligible for the yearly upgrades because my account has been in good standings with them since I started with them, makes me happy!

So I guess I will wait for Jan 2011 to get my Evo 4G phone, perhaps the price would drop by then too (not even knowing what the price will be initially)

What's your story?

Re: How Long Have You Been With Your Current Provider

1. 12yrs
2. None, Sprint has been my first, it was pretty rough at the beginning I was pulling my hair but over the yrs voice/data coverage got better and better every year.
3. Will not switch due to Sprint having the most "Data" EV coverage here is S. Texas (CDMA Country) and Verizon is just a little high on their phone plans.

Re: How Long Have You Been With Your Current Provider

Been with Sprint and Sprint only since 2001. Had as many as 4 lines on my plan.

Down to two lines since my brother started working for T-Mo. Mom and I are still on Sprint. I pay for her phone service every month since I'm such a good son. Apparently giving birth to me entitles her to it

Re: How Long Have You Been With Your Current Provider

I've had Sprint since 2000. I technically don't use the line anymore, but I still have 2 with them, one for my wife and one for my brother-in-law who pays me for his plan.

I've had At&t since 2008 because I got on my family's family plan since it was cheaper.

I've been happy with both carriers over the years. I've only had a couple of serious issues with Sprint, which finally got resolved after a few months, but overall I've been a satisfied customer of both.

Coverage has been great with both, but I wish At&t had more 3G. Their Edge coverage has been great though, just slower internet.

I'm not really sure if I could pick one if I had to now. I love the Nexus One, but the Evo sounds awesome too. Sprint has more 3G coverage than At&t, so that's better for the internet.

Re: How Long Have You Been With Your Current Provider

Sprint since they launched their CDMA network - 1996.
Previously, with Southwestern Bell Mobile Systems (1992-1996) - wayyy before they became AT&T, nee Cingular.

When calling Sprint customer service, I remind them of the fact that I'm a Charter Subscriber, and most of the time I get what I ask for. SERO until they switch me off, baby!

Wow that's cool, so after reading that I decided to Wiki Sprint Mobile and found some good info there (take it or leave it, it is Wiki after all)

I found 5 degrees of separation

Sprints first mobile venture was called 360 Communications which was sold to
Alltel who was bought out by Verizon...

In 1995 Sprint started offering cell service in Baltimore-Washington metro area, this network was GSM which was eventually sold to Ominpoint which eventually became T-Mobile

Thanks Sprint for starting your competitors!

Sprint first started as Brown Telephone Company in 1898 to compete against Bell... gee it goes back a long way huh?

Re: How Long Have You Been With Your Current Provider

First got Sprint in 2003, then went to Verizon after contract because they had text messaging and not that crappy sms that Sprint had back then. Then went to nothing but home phone, then back to Verizon in 05 cause no one else wanted me, then home phone in 06, then to AT&T in 07 because of work discount, then to Sprint in 08 for better work discount. Now with Sprint and will probably stay with em for a while. So that leaves me with everyone but TMO.....always turned away from them, probably because the Sidekick freaks me out.
