How's the coverage outside of where you live? My mom and brother both have tmobile and they don't get signals at half the places I get with sprint. I'm sure tmobile is great when you don't go anywhere but once you get off the beaten path at least I can still make calls...

I doubt they will match my $30 Sero plan with 22% discount. My Bill was $28 last month AFTER taxes and fees!!

I'm with ya Dr.8820. I'm tired of the lies. I was told that I would get 3G in June, and I still see 1X. This is the last straw for me with Sprint. I had to "upgrade" to their "everything data" to get the Hero. $65 more than I was paying with my old plan. I'm not seeing $65 worth of better service, and the lies are even worse. I had emailed Sprint back in Dec about the lies and lack of 3G. All I got was 2 calls from Sprint sales trying to sell me another line. On one of the calls I asked about 3G and the rep left the line for a minute and came back on and told me that I WAS in a 3G area! I'm done.

i would look in to it, but i know they cant beat my family plan with my employee discount, plus my 10$ for 24 month and 5$ for 12 month credit(just picked that one up 3 days ago) credits.
t mo may be equal in price, but they cant beat sprints perks or coverage. you cant even get t-mo 3g driving down I-70(the biggest trans american highway)

what does that have to do with what we're talking about

? if you have sero, then why would you give that up? the people like me NOT on sero are pissed, and i left sprint rather than pay extra for the same service...period.

Seriously? What year is this that you have to stand outside to use that super duper smart phone you got?

And that's all well and good if you never leave where you are seeing your speeds. Personally, I'll pay the same amount and have better coverage indoors while everyone else is outside or dropping calls

thanks bro! i love how first it was the speed of t-mobile....i showed the speeds...now, it's not cheaper than sprint....i can't win lol. the only way to beat sprint at their game is not upgrade or leave..but most folks don't question authority, they just take it
