I got so sick of being nickel and dimed for services by att and verizon I will never leave sprint, for what I pay on sprint my bill was almost 140 with verizon and att. Also any mobile is fantastic cause I dont know anyone with a land line phone.

Likewise. As soon as any mobile came out I switched from an old (awesome) retention deal, with just about every free add on under the sun, to an everythingdata family. We all end up paying about 30-35 bucks a month (each) and basically have unlimited calling since no one really uses land lines anymore.

Usually it is Verizon but if not then it will be US Cellular usually, sometimes other smalltown carriers like Cricket.

Yeah, I'm gonna stick with Sprint myself. I mean, no other carrier out there can match what i have with sprint per service per dollar. And now Sprint just gave us free call forwarding for such things as google voice, who can complain.

Sprint has one thing over T-Mobile: coverage. Oh and 3G.

That's what I thought.

I just never understood how people can always claim "Verizon has better coverage than Sprint". How can that be if I can just roam between the two (within reason of getting kicked).

Thats only for voice, you dont get 3g roaming.

Sometimes you can't roam on Verizon.

I plan on staying with Sprint as long as possible because I'm on the Sero plan- which I know isn't the best for Sprint since my plan is so cheap.

I don't know if this happens at other carriers or stores but what does bother me is the poor customer service at the Corp stores.

I've had my phone looked at twice and both times, even with when my replacement phone was available for pickup- I still ended up waiting an hour. Yesterday I waited an hour with an appointment! Meanwhile, the reps seemed to be doing anything but helping the customers waiting. I even saw some brushing off new customers. In the end, I got my phone 15 minutes after closing and there were still 3 more people on the appointment queue. That kind of business model hurts customers and sucks for the employees who had to stay late...
