had sprint all my life, never had a problem that made me think about switching. and customer service always works out in my favor
Fuck sprint!!!...Fuck T-Mobile!!!...Get verzion....hands down the best cell phone carrier out now...only thing that's wrong with it is you gotta pay a little more for the phones...but,it's worth it...

I switched to ......
about a year ago ... all the areas were i use to get drop calls now work fine with my new sprint service and phone !
WTF, THEY ARE THE SAME COMPANY, AND YOU R PDA IS HELLA OLD
The Sanyo 7050 is about a month or two months old. The one I posted came out on 4/1ThaAnsa3 said:
i had sprint about 5 years ago....i thought the service sucked so i switched to nextel (before they merged)....nextel sucked worse than sprint, so i went to t-mobile....now i'm satisfied. $90 a month for the blackberry unlimited everything (i used to pay $150 when i had the bberry on nextel) and very few dropped calls compared to sprint and nextel. and t-mobile's customer service is crack compared to nextel.
I had nextel before they merged with sprint and had no problems than ive had with tmobile. Get a hybrid phone if you want ptt. IDen is THE FASTEST ptt out and there is no beating it , its why corp and military use it so f everything else. When Shit happens that usually knocks voice out , those radios stay up for some reason. Sprint verizon and cingular tried but got shut down quickly, They have it but dont advertise it as they used to . The hybrid phones will give you best of both worlds.
I SERIOUSLY considered the hybrid, but since I don't know that many people with Nextel anymore, I figured that it didn't make much sense to go with them. The horror stories are just ridiculous when it comes to Nextel. By far, I have heard more complaints about them than any other carrier. The chirp function would have been nice, though.trekei said:

Had sprint about 3 years now. The service has improved greatly and I get a signal pretty much anywhere. I live in New York so things might be a little different for you. Sprint also has great customer service. I pretty much make them do whatever I want even when I'm in the wrong. These dudes give me a 15% government employee discount and I talked them into taking out another 15% from my bill
Real weak minded people.
Oh yeah dont get the razor its a piece of shit.

I used to have Sprint a few years ago, and my service was great at home but it sucked balls in my dorm at school, but other than that it was good. Then I switched to Nextel about 2 years ago, and I had the same problem, but now that I'm out of school I would like to continue with Nextel but don't like any of their phones, so i'm thinking of going back to Sprint and keeping what I have: a free incoming calls plan, text messaging, and unlimited mobile to mobile. I think that Sprint/Nextel are great, but I don't see a need for the chirp anymore, so I'm really looking to go back to Sprint.
I have had Sprint for 7 years and when ppl ask i tell them off the back that sprint puts out damn good phones and the only real time I've had drop calls are in walmart 
or in a heavily wooded area. The customer service use to suck but I've notice that it has gotten better over the past year and yeah they pretty much do whatever you want them to do especially when you start talking about how you might cancel your service they'll start putting stuff on your plan for free in a heart beat.

been with verizon b4 no problems but they was high as hell, been with sprint 6 yrs and had no problems with any aspect of their service plus i got 3 phones with 3 diff # with internet, unlim text mobile 2 mobile nights at 7 and all the bells and whistles for $115 - discount is 98.00 mth
the best thing you will miss out about sprint was the fair-and-flexible plan they had which slightly adjusted your bill dependant on how many minutes you use (instead of heavy overage charges)
they aren't offering it anymore but existing customers can continue to resign and keep the plan

I originally had Nextel and loved it until all these fucking young thundercats started hopping on that Boost Mobile bandwagon and killed the network. I had one week where my calls would go to dead air for as long as 5 seconds before going back to normal like every 30 seconds. I switched to Sprint so I wouldnt have to worry bout any ETF and have been pretty pleased. No issues with service and my mulit-media requirements are much faster and efficient.

Sprint will replace Fair & Flexible next month with Sprint Power Packs. Power Packs, on both Individual and Family plans, are aimed at matching Cingular and Verizon's current offerings. Currently Fair & Flexible offers significant advantage in overages. However, next month, Sprint's only comparative advantage will be in Night & Weekend minutes starting at 7 PM instead of 9 PM. Sprint will offer 6 PM calling for $5/month additionally.

If you don't have at least 10 people that use ptt don't get a hybrid.ThaAnsa3 said:
The Sanyo 7050 is the same phone that is currently on the Sprint commercial where they're beating the hell out of the phone.
It's Sprints first military spec phone.
I don't believe it's an evdo device so you won't be able to do the music store, phone as modem or tv, all of which cost extra.
Rumor sites are pretty good are predicting the upcoming phones so you might want to check out sprintusers or pcsintel.
Don't settle for a phone, Sprint comes out with a decent phone or two every other month
That's the only thing about it. I love the 7050, but I know I'm going to want the better one that comes out a few months from now if I go with Sprint. That the thing with me and electronics.nappy said:If you don't have at least 10 people that use ptt don't get a hybrid.

I happened to talk to a guy at work and told him that I might be going to Sprint and he gave them a ringing endorsement. He said that switching to T-Mobile was the biggest mistake he made. He plans on going back to Sprint as soon as his contract with T-Mobile expires.

For real that SERO plan is crazy. I got the $30 plan
500 anytime mins
unlimited power vision
unlimited nights and weekends startin at 7pm
unlimited text messaging
free mobile to mobile
Free roaming (can roam on verizon networks now)
had this plan for about a yr now and cant beat it. My bill never goes past $45
Its for new customers only or ppl who wanna add a new line to they account. Go www.sprint.com/sero and where it says email address type in savings@sprint.com.
U could normally order online but now u have to go directly thru sprint by callin them. U get the phones somewhat discounted and the plans are all there like what homeboy got and what i got. Make sure if u doin it u sign up by june 30..that when the unlimited text message promo is up.

Sup fam.. im one of the newbies on the board here so, whats up to EVERYONE
To answer your question.. i have had sprint for about 10 years now and i would NEVER switch to another service. No matter what service you make your decision with.. you will always have your ups and downs with each company.
I reside in Long Island NY and the service here is great. I also travel alot and i never have problems with service.
I have the Treo 700 WX and i love that *ish.
Just pay your bill on time.. they are cool about when it comes down to your bill but, the thing is..... they will cut your phone off before its gets TOO high which can be a good thing before you get a sky high bill in the mail.
i would say go for it.

too much info B
I went ahead and got it earlier today and let me tell the fam . . . SO FAR, SO GOOD. Everyone I have talked to today says that I sound like I'm talking to them from a landline. My little sister was like, "I hear you crystal clear." She lives way down south. I love the phone too.

and I like its functionality so far. I didn't even need to read the manual to figure out what I needed to do for adding contacts, changing ringtones, etc. Everyone I've showed it to thinks its a "cute" phone (not my word). Anyway, I'm going to see how it goes. I know Nappy is right and in about one month I'm probably going to wish I held out for the next model, but I'll get over it. It was the same story with my computer, unfortunately. That's just how technology is now. I spoke to my homegirl, who uses Nextel, all afternoon with no drops or fade-ins or outs. Its been a good experience so far, but I'm definitely not losing sight of the fact that its only been one day.

did u use my hookup? if so ur welcome u ungrateful bastid
Yo A, I didn't use the hookup because I didn't think that it applied to my phone. I wouldn't have been shady like that and not thanked you for hooking me up. If it works for my phone, I will gladly take advantage and show my appreciation to you, homie.A to Dah K said:
Shit I've been with sprint sine 01-02 and they have got a little shitty since the merge. Their 24 hour customer service closes now and some other minor shit. But someone was telling you about the insurance in one of the ealier post and I just wanna co-sign. I've fucked up numerous phones and they replace em. It use to be mail a money order to somewhere and they send a new phone to you. Well now they just replace it. I have that bullshit ass pocket pc. This is the worst excuse of a cellphone. I got it when they 1st came out. If I was ever on a call longer than 3 min it would automatically go into flight mode when I ended the call. Took it to sprint they tell me to go online and install some upgrade they had to fix the problem. Long story short my phone didn't work. Took it to sprint got a new one. Fast foward two days ago new phone lcd screen got cracked. Went to sprint today they said they were going to replace it but pocketpc is discontinued. So I asked for the treo 700wx, dude was like that's what you should get (price wise) nut another dude comes from the back with another pocket pc. All of this has been since late june of last year.
Service is pretty reliable I got a business account with 3 lines. 2000 anytime minutes, free sprint to sprint, nites start @ 6pm, and insurance which covers all 3 phones. My plan is 100 dollars (130 after fees and taxes). I've had this plan way before they started all that family plan stuff. And they give discounts for almost anywhere you work.

I'm really going to try to see if I can get a discount for working where I work. I highly doubt it, but I'm going to give it a shot anyway. So far, my phone has performed very well and the services has been near perfect. I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop, though . . . the pessimist in me, I guess.
i've been with sprint for about 5+ years
i've had no major problems.
sprint and tmobile for some reason have a problem with reception in my mothers building but not outside, maybe concrete or steel walls, elevators and satillite tv's are the problem..
i have no problems at my house or in anywhere in manhattan
every know and then my phone will ring while i'm on a platform underground waiting for the train
what you have to watch out for is the bill though
once in a while they will credit you 20 or 50 dollars, once you pay the bill you accepted the credit, that will renew your contract...
so watch your bill
but really... you should check every bill, i've caught con ed charging me more than they should have...
my girlfriend has t-mobile and rarely has reception
alot of times its just bad phones.. most people in my job who have the 700p are having problems with goodlink and its fucking up their phones.. and thats with verizon and cingular
since i have a personal treo with sprint plus my job gives me a 27% discount on my bill , i'm ordering the blackberry for work instead which they are paying for anyway

Yeah, I have heard a lot about Sprint and their bill games. Mostly, however, its customers not paying on time from what I've gathered. My cousin who has only every been with Sprint complains sometimes about unauthorized charges but he usually gets that stuff resolved. I guess its just a bit of a hassle to have to go through that every three months or so. Other than that, most people seem to be very happy with Sprint. I was surprised to see some Verizon criticism in this thread since all I heard before were good things.Jagi said:
My service so far has been outstanding for the most part. Its kinda hard to get reception in my office building, but I usually need to step outside to make personal calls anyway so its not that big of a deal.
I got that plan for my daughter under the employee plan...........$15 mo.Mrbonner said:
I can also get a wireless PCI card w/internet service for my laptop............$15 mo.!
Not sure what the other companies do for their employees but I love working for Sprint Nextel.
