Sprint wireless

[Matt336]

Alright, so I'm currently with Alltel and my contract is up. I've been thinking about switching to Sprint because their plans are overall cheaper than alltel. Who here uses Sprint? How does it compare to say Verizon or Alltel? I go back to Williston every 2-3 weeks and by looking at the coverage map on their website, it looks like I'll be roaming (free with the plan I'm looking at). I'm currently looking at the BlackBerry Curve 8330 with the Everything Data plan.

What is everyone's opinion on Sprint? Good and bad, I want to hear it.

I like Sprint...I have had them for 5 years or more. Reliable service, no billing issues, cheap plans, decent phones.

I like the everything pack unlimited internet, gps, and texts for $30 also.

The phone I have is the Mogul....has evdoA capabilities.

i had sprint since i was a fresman in high school, and never had a problem with them. the only reason i switched to verison was for a different phone.

I have had 0 problems with sprint been with them for four years. I have run into coverage issues when I go to Minot there is a couple of dead spots on the highway. I have not switched because I can't find a good enough reason to.

you know your from the midwest when you call it Verison. lol ^

Hmm well since everyone else is saying it; I have never had any problem with Verizon. Get coverage, largest 3g network, fair prices, good phones, good customer service. Hell, you know there doing something right when they buy up shittier companies and become the largest wireless carrier in the nation.

Sprint is pretty decent if you only ever plan on using your phone in cities. Otherwise good luck getting service.

I used my phone a lot when I went down for the bison gophers games and it didn't cost me anything and worked everywhere.

Thanks for the quick responses guys. I have a couple of dead spots on highway 2 as well so that isn't a big deal to me. Alltel is still more expensive as is Verizon. I plan on going to sprint today and talking to them. Thanks again for the help!

Only thing I had a problem with having sprint was after like Jamestown there's no coverage, I was in Bismarck for a week and it was a bitch to get service sometimes, and my phone wouldnt let me text since it was on roaming... If u get no roaming plan u should be good though... I also get shitty coverage back home when i'm at my parents, or anywheres out fishing and stuff... Otherwise I dont mind it

Sprint=not good if you ever really leave the "beaten path"...I have a Sprint phone(Mogul/6800) for work and a personal Verizon phone(Treo 700wx)...when I'm out in the middle of nowhere, I just rely on my Verizon phone. Data seems to be kind of inconsistent with Sprint(I use it literally all day, M-F)

[Matt336]

After really thinking about it, I think I'm just going to stay with Alltel and get the Blackberry 8330.

Not yet and not in North Dakota. Alltel is likely to be sold off to AT&T here as Verizon is required to sell off all towers in ND, SD and a couple other states to have fcc compliance.

Yeah i saw that article. I doubt that they are selling Alltel to AT&T. Didn't see that anywhere...all i saw was that in order to get it approved 100% by the FCC (which has already happened) is that they have to get rid of assets in 100 areas, and all that is going around is speculation. There has been no report from Verizon regarding anything in that matter.

Shit, and they don't even really need to sell those assets to begin with, all that was was a couple of state attorneys saying they will take them to court if they don't do that...its not a must.
