So currently I have verizon. My contract is about to be up in July and I'm considering switching to sprint. Verizon is cool. Great service, cool phones I like it for the most part.

It is slightly pricey compared with sprint tho. For a little more than what I pay now *about $68ish* I could have free calls to ALL mobile phones and internet access in addition to what I already have now (450 minutes + unltd text). My free nights would also start earlier on sprint. SO yeah this is pretty appealing to me. I know one other person that has sprint and he LOVES it but I wanted to get some more opinions.

So yea: love it? hate it? to good to be true?? is it worth switching?

I currently use Sprint and it is great.

Their data service is the fastest and they recently changed up their customer service. They have sent me a replacement phone under warranty to use before I send mine in and that is without having their insurance.

I never drop calls and their coverage includes all the networks across the US.

Only drawback I could see is if you need a phone that travels internationally. They do not use SIM cards.

I've never used T-Mobile but AT&T was far and away the worst service I have ever experienced.

ywa i've heard that so i'm def not even looking their way as far as beign an option

look at places like MetoPCS. that is what I am getting when my contract is up. If I go out of town I will get a disposable for the trip.

I do not like SPRINT, in part where I live (15 miles from a major US city) it hardly ever works. ATT is good as is MertoPCS.


But with some of the pay as you go you have to have the money to buy the phone. Which is the way it ought to be anyway. Why is it when I get an ATT phone with a 2 year contract I do not get a discount when the 2 years is over?

Interesting, cause I’ve had the exact opposite experience up here. AT&T works everywhere (I’ve never had an issue and I’ve had them since I got my first phone) but friends of mine who use Sprint get spotty coverage at best in certain parts of Minneapolis. And we’re talking IN the city, not even way out in the outreaching suburbs or anything.

I guess it depends on where you are.

it really does. I would say be bold ASK PEOPLE! Ask were you work, where you live, and where you play "hey what service do you have...how does it work here??"
