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.

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.

The thing is Sprint was the best deal in cellular 2 years ago. In my opinion they have a decent network, good phones, great rates and actually good service (from my experience). A couple of years ago I brought myself and 5 other people to sprint (4 from verizon and 2 from tmobile) with the alure of small bills and big features. Lately it seems like Sprint is not that much cheaper than Vzw or at&t anymore. Now Simple Talk or whatever is entering the market. People want the biggest bang for their buck and I'm not sure Sprint is the best deal anymore.

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

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.

I always assumed I could connect to Verizon's network (when roaming) and since roaming is included, it was all free. I guess I'm confused.

It's Verizon most of the time... (CDMA networks limit choices)

Biggest problem is Sprint will kick you if you roam too much... About a year ago there was a big stink over a DoD base where there was only roaming, and Sprint kicked almost all their users out there... Yet they still marketed to the base regularly... I forget the conclusion of the news report...

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.
