I trusted with all the promos they had going on, that i would have a lot better coverage then sprint.
sprint was an outdated system. i used them because we used the nextel direct connect feature. after some time, we couldnt get thru on the dc, so we would end up calling anyways. since DC feature is such an outdated system, we figured a simple phone call is just as good as chirp.
dropped calls and lack of coverage was my big issue with sprint. i could pin point on a map EVERY spot in dallas and fort worth where my phone would drop a call, and where i got zero signal.
I am getting hit with 175 per line cancellation fee. at&t is gonna cover $100 out of it, for me to make the switch. but i now have better coverage, and can actually make phone calls while im sitting at my desk. as strange as it may be...and although my issues might have just been with 2-3 people ive delt with....its still Verizon Wireless.
im not sure what tethering is....so if someone could explain that to me.
I actually got the new 9700 from at&t....happy so far.
