Spring doesnt have their own towers, they lease them out. Sprint was number 2 priority off VZ towers, but now dropped to 3rd priority (falling below T freaking Mobile) upon contract renual.

Im paying less with Vz a month (700 min, unlim txt/pic, unlim data) than sprints unlim plan. Given i dont have unlimited mins, i could care less as I only use 200 or less a month

My wife had sprinit for over 10 years and within the last couple years, their prices have gone up and service/quality has gone down. She left and joined Big Red.

 

I hate arguing on the internet, but dude what the hell is your problem? My phone literally doesn't work, I think I have a right to ask if there's anything I should know about that's causing service to disappear.

And btw my phone is brand new so I know it's not a hardware issue.

 

Sorry bro, someone left the burner on too high. I'll simmer down now...... -_-

 

Then talk to a Spring rep instead of a car forum

And just because your phone is new, doesnt mean it doesnt have any hardware issues.

 

I don't trust those dudes

 

Truth.

My wife and I both have unlimited everything plans with 4G extra and combined it was cheaper than our old ATT and VZ at the time. I think its around 150-160 for both plans together.

I just dont get how we live in the most technologically advanced areas and have some of the worst cell coverage. I know VZ is better but not great.

 

If you cant trust the company you have a contract with, why do you continue to support them (staying with the same carrier)?

 

I don't trust anyone in the cell phone industry, especially when it comes to giving me a straight answer about an issue with their service

 

lol...it happens

 

1) Do you live in the boonies or in the metropolitan bay area?
2) Which phone do you have, Is it stock?
3) Do you travel a lot? When was the last time you updated your roaming profiles?
4) What are your roaming settings currently? Sprint only or okay with popping other towers?


I noticed better service after my last upgrade, from an HTC Evo 4G to a Motorola Photon 4G. In places where I couldn't pickup/hold 4G with the Evo, I have an easier time of it with the Photon.

 

Me and my wife have ATT and for the both of us our plan is $146/month after taxes. Also I have a 49mb constant DL speed with a 60mb spike on 4G LTE

 

My only regret, is that I have an iPhone on Sprint.

3G only, cheap plan with unlimited text/web/data is awesome though.

 

I've got the EVO 4g and this phone has not failed me at all. I get service almost everywhere, internet is really good and the unlimited plan is I have is cheap. I'm more happy with Sprint that with verizons crappy customer service nd over priced cell service.

 

yea i get code 34 alot for some odd reason my data speeds are ridiculously slow

 

1. Palo Alto
2. Nexus S, just replaced by Sprint with a refurbished unit last week. I've downloaded 2 games, Waze and Facebook. That's it.
3. No
4. Roaming: not set to connect to data services when roaming

I never use 4G because it kills the battery too fast.
