- I'll throw my 2 cents in I guess.
Sprint is cheaper, and with unlimited mobile to mobile, we don't even get close to our monthly 1500 minutes between 3 phones.
I'm pissed that you can't add PAM to the unlimited plan, and really irritated with how they handled that whole thing, but I'm still getting a better deal with them. And I get pretty good service, so no real reason to complain.
I laugh every time I go to my wife's parents house, cuz they're all on Tmobile and get horrible service at their house and I get 3 bars .
On the other hand, I can't EVER recall someone asking what cell network I'm on ... Sounds like a lame pick up line.

Other than calling CS everyone is happy, I always advise people that if your going with Sprint always get the phone you want because its a pain to upgrade, Blackberry is the most reliable phone Sprint has unless you want the latest and greatest you wont have to upgrade for atleast 3 years if you have to push it12-16-09 08:27 AMLike 0
- Huh? Embarrassed to say you're with Sprint. That makes no sense to me; regardless of which carrier you say you are or aren't "embarrased" of. It comes down to which provider provides YOU the best service (MAINLY coverage and service wise really)..not what the "hype" says.
What's the use of person A having Sprint, ATT, Verizon or any other carrier for example..just because that particular carrier may offer the phone or something you want..when the service/coverage for them SUCKS where you may live?
So I'd be more "embarrassed" to say I have a certain carrier if EVERYONE knows coverage w/ that carrier sucks where you live. If anything; the carrier OVERALL w/ the least amount of data/voice coverage RELIABILITY is ATT. (I'm saying overall; not individually).Last edited by HandsomePrince; 12-16-09 at 10:19 AM.

Excellent Service-coverage
Everything Data 450 BlackBerry plan + 100 Extra min free + 15% discount = 59.00 a month bill.
No complaints here..I'm pretty happy No need to Defend Sprint.
It is fun listening to others defend their carrier though, lots of that going on in Verizon forum.12-17-09 12:44 PMLike 0 - I have been with Sprint for over 3 years now I think. I have only had a couple billing complaints but they always credit me and it has to be the CS overhaul in the past few years to get rid of that crappy rep. I love Sprint!
I have converted 6 people and went from a line of just one to a family of 5. VZW messed up my parents lines by "borrowing" phone upgrades from one line and using it on another line and also extending the contract for the line and not the one that borrowed.
To me Sprint is great, PAM isnt so much an issue to me anymore as I thought since none of the major carriers really support except for what T-mobile? I learned quickly with them when I had that the service was subpar but CS was good for me at the time.
All in all, I have had tried all of the carriers and Sprint is where I have had the most positive experience. Shoot, I left all of the other carriers after one year except for Sprint, plus I get a credit of $150 per line to extend my contract, on top of the 2 year price for a phone
I will rock Sprint to the grave also12-17-09 02:45 PMLike 0 -
My experience leaving voice mails with friends on other networks is that 85% of the time get cut off when I am trying to leave a voice mail on the other networks voice mail system. This is NOT A SPRINT PROBLEM as I have had the issue with landline's as well.
I remember when Sprint used to be the pin drop and they had calling cards, and local and long distance coverage, but no more.

Did you say service? We live in a world that phones rule, The Iphone must have pulled in atleast 1 million customers to AT&T alone, I think people are more embarrassed with the phone choice these days, couple of years ago thats what most people had a problem with if Sprint had the Iphone we wouldnt even be talking about this12-17-09 05:27 PMLike 0 - I work with a bunch of Verizon people and all of my family has verizon, so I'm constantly defending Sprint. The usual argument is price because most pay as much for one phone as I do for four and I get a lot more minutes and features. I always get the "you get what you pay for" comment, but in my experience coverage and CS are pretty damn good for what I pay.12-17-09 09:01 PMLike 0

She asked who I'm with and I said sprint.
She said I don't know why you deal with sucky service (she has vzw) I said I have the same service as you and thank you for overpaying so I can pay less.
She has an env2 so she dosent use data so technically we have the same voice service. Lol

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com12-17-09 11:37 PMLike 0 - I've been with Sprint since 1999 and never had any real problems with them. And now that I have the Unlimited plan I couldn't be happier. Well I could if they had some of the phones I have been patiently waiting for but that's another issue. Not only that they cut my bill in half last month for some type of service credit I wasn't even expecting. Maybe because I took back the Pre after a week. I don't know. But they are alright with me.
I have heard some horror stories from people but I thankfully I haven't experienced any with them.12-18-09 12:11 AMLike 0 -
**** who cares.. compared to bill gates, I�m cheap and poor too, actually compared to you I'm probably cheap and poor
my point is however, just cause you can afford it, why waste it, I could afford any Tmob, Vzn, etc plan, but why waste my money, if I can save some on my cell plan and have it save or spend elsewhere. Bottom line is you do what is best for you, unless they�re paying your bill, they don�t have a say (imo).

We couldn't be happier with both the service as well as the price. As long as the carrier/device meets your needs, Sprint/Nextel is a great choice!
