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.

Data is also limited to a certain number of megs...

omg i wish you would come to the bay area, i can take you to ten places off the top of my head within 10 minutes of my home and guranteed you will not find service unless you have sprint or verizon. Remember I say san jose, bay area once again aka silicon valley. I live in the suberbs and not some boonies. we can drive from san jose to san francisco which is about a 45-55 minute drive and the tmobile service is shitbox roaming or no roaming. Before i got my girl a hero she had tmobile and when we got to certain airports she already new her phone wasn't going to work. This is an airport i'm talking about.

this would never be a problem because with sprint i never have to roam, when i do roam i could never use the limit for data. Like i said if i had to do that much roaming i would switch providers.

That's where you are wrong. It's all tied together.

You think if Sprint really had the best service and the cheapest prices, with the best coverage, they would be losing millions of customers every quarter?

And you think if they really had the world's only network that could switch to whatever 4G technology they wanted with only a software upgrade overnight their stock would be tanking like that?

All of this stuff ties together man.

they would be losing customers every quarter because they by far have the worst customer service by far without a shadow of a doubt, thats why. They are not losing customers because of coverage. I just checked and it seems im right, tmobile has the best customer service of them all and sprint has the worse.
