DO U mean that,let's say Sprint's contract says, I get free roaming. there is a catch? I can only use it less than 50% of the time or else Sprint will drop me? WHat happen to the AMerica's most reliable or depandable network? or the best coverage in americ? Doesn't that soud like a fraud?

There is indeed a catch to unlimited roaming..It's not unlimited. This is from Sprint's TOS.

"Sprint may terminate service if (1) more than 800 minutes, (2) a majority of minutes or (3) a majority of data kilobytes in a given month are used while roaming."

Don't forget. Neither Sprint, Verizon nor AT&T guarantee coverage at residential locations.

Wow, i agree with you on this.

The thing is they have to pay US Cellular for your airtime and it must not be very profitable or maybe even costing them money.

It sucks but you can't really blame them though, why would Sprint keep you if they have to pay US Cellular more each month than you're paying to them, why else would they drop you.

This confirms what the vzw rep told me the other day. I talked to a sprint rep who told me about the incredibly cheap (compared to vzw) data plans. Later I talked to a vzw rep who said sprint's coverage sux and that Sprint is going down fast. Course I didnt believe him but a little research indicates this is true...

Vzw rep told me that they are unlocking gps w/o vz navistupid "some time soon". Also said they may get the ibrick (ie iphone) soon. Blah blah blah. sprints demise is not a good thing. They seem to release the technology faster. vzw keeps trying to lock tech up so they can milk the $ out of it.
