Default wow sprint sucks

If there's ever a emergency or disaster, don't count on sprint. There was a earthquake here in northern virginia, and I couldn't even text or call people to check on them. While other people in my class were on there iphones calling away with no problems. So if there ever another 9-11 incident (god forbid) I would hate to have sprint

That's like saying AT&T sucks if a plane crashed into the tower closest to you and you wanted to call the station that was down.

Just putting it into perspective.

I heard AT&T and T-Mobile folks had issues as well so don't single them out.

That's a retarded conclusion! People on all carriers were down because of all the idiots txting at once which eats control channels which prevents calls. You know what, my BBM and e-mail through the Sprint BIS trucked along the whole time and I accessed facebook the whole time with my phone on Sprint. People with Verizon phones were complaining stuff wasn't working either.

I was clearly standing next to people who were taking calls/making calls from there phones (iphones so they weren't sprint). Its not like I'm saying I hate sprint,I love my bill price and the service I get, I'm just saying they suck if there was every a national emergency or something like that. Lol it let me down today

Well no one at my office could get text or calls out today while the aftermath was going on...and here Sprint, Verizon and AT&T have excellent service...While Verizon and AT&T couldn't send or receive any text, my EVO was receiving ok, but sending was hit and miss it was like I had to hit a small window to get my text out.

All Carriers suffered during this emergency.....

My AT&T iPhone wouldn't even text out, or make phone calls. My Sprint EVO 3D I was able to text, tweet, and email my loved ones. Service was down for the Verizon customers loitering in the Sprint store as well. It was everyone.

All carriers were overloaded. It's a densely populated part of the country.
