Sprint terminating my contract for too much roaming

I think for users with legitimate problems like the OP, they should give it to him for free. It's not a rip off if the user has a real problem.

Everybody wins! I mean, scenario A: Sprint loses a $200/mo customer. Scenario B: they end up paying I don't know how much to Verizon for his roaming. Scenario C: They give him a free Airave (which they don't lose much money on), they save themselves the cost of roaming, and they keep $200+ in their pocket every month. No brainer really.

Thanks for the well thought out reply.

I mean yeah it sucks that coverage is spotty, but to 'deserve' free stuff because of it is, in my opinion, totally not right. It's like saying because the tires your car came with suck in the winter that you should deserve FREE snow tires. That's what the majority of people in this thread are saying. Sprint is not offering the Airwave for free so why try and get them to give it up for free? I'd rather the OP switch carriers instead of trying to get free stuff out of Sprint because "their coverage is crappy." Maybe I don't know what i'm talking about here, but as far as I was aware, Sprint had a coverage map that indicates where they would get service and where they wouldn't. Even entering your zip code on the Sprint home page shows this. Now if moving to an area with little to no coverage is what the OP did, then Sprint has no obligation to give him free stuff because of it.
