Some people are happy with Sprint, I have no 1st hand experience with them, I however had heard, thier customer service sucks. Thier text messaging is often delayed, and they are currently 1 generation of phones behind.actually.. sprint text messaging sucks. i forgot about that one. getting texts isnt a problem.. but most all texts i send to people never end up getting to them.
and holy shit jim. thats almost too much info.

I had verizon a few years back from a local carrier, not a verizon store. DONT get verizon from a local carier whatever you do. I think that verizon has the best family plan, however I think that Cell One (particularily Cell World) has the best coverage of anything in the area. I drive to Wisconson and have only one blackout that last for about 30 miles. Contrary to what some asshat said here about Cell One not having the latest phones, thats bullshit. Maybe CellWorld is different, but they have all the phones, plus some I havnt seen at verizon. I can give you a referal card if you want CellWorld. Talk to the owner, Justin Mumm if you can. I went in and couldnt afford the phone I wanted, so he made some deals with me and I ended up getting it for less than half the listing price. Yes, the listing price WAS the SAME as verizons. So suck it you stupid asshat that said they have sucky phones and higher prices.

I have a LG VX-8000 w/ EV-DO, I'm positive that cell one has nothing that can touch it.
Edit: I just looked at cell one's website, the most advanced phone they have is a Kyocera 7135 which is a PDA unit.
The most advanced non-pda handset is a Motorola V810...
I don't see how they have such pimp phones? Cell one uses CDMA technology, with roaming agreements with sprint and verizon. You will get the same sort of roaming reliablity with any of them as they all "share" towers via lease agreements.

I have to agree with amicheze that there some problems with sprint. When i went to bismark, my sprint phone had no signal for half the trip, but my friend's phone (who also has sprint) had a signal the entire way. I am looking to ditch sprint after my contract is up, and go to verizon, because i heard they have better coverage.

I am going to have to say the new Sprint phones are good. My text messaging is a lot faster now. My signal stregnth is always good (even at the lakes). My plan is pretty sweet also 6oo any time minutes, free long distance, anything after 6 pm is free plus free weekends. I get all this for 46.00. I have been with sprint for 3 years and have no major complaints besides text messaging, but that has gotten better.

First phone=Verizon
Verizon suckedNext phone=Rover from Unicel
Don't think they offer it anymore, but it rocked just as Nick said. We could use our phones all across the country and latch on to any digital signal. I never got one roaming charge. Used it all the way from Florida, Ohio, etc. Best experience yet.Next=Cell one
Wow, the worst service ever, biggest BS plan unless you live in a cow pasture in the middle of ND. Just ended my service and switched to Sprint. Hated it soo bad that I didn't care about the $200 contract cancellation fee.Current=Sprint
Awesome so far. Did a family share plan with my brother, plus we both get discounts through work. He has had Sprint for 3-4 years and still likes it a lot.Basically, as you can tell it all comes down to personal preference. Most of all, where are you going to use your phone, how much traveling you are going to do, etc. Nothing beats the Rover plan if they are still offering it!! The only problem I had with it was when I was out at the lakes or out in the middle of nowhere in ND where there wasn't a digital tower.
My opinion, get Sprint if they no longer offer Rover..

nate, when you had rover and said that you were never charged for roaming, are you saying that when you were in florida and called people in fargo that it didn't cost you anything extra?
edit: extra meaning more than the 33 bux a month for the unlimted local plan.

I have had verizon for over 6 yrs and I really like them. If or when I ever have any problems they are so nice and helpful. And if its their fault they usually will throw something extra in for the any trouble caused. like one time they charged me for some downloads that I didnt even download, So because of the inconvience they gave me some free downloads. My whole family uses verizon. which is nice because its free to talk to other verizon customers. well good luck.

when i bought my phone from sprint, i was supposed to get a $100 rebate. i lost the form and went there to get a new one.. but the dates on the rebate form werent the same as the ones on the reciept.. so when i sent it in.. they wouldnt give it to me. i went to the store and got everything straightened out.. and 2 weeks later i got a check for $150 for the inconvienence.
