Is Sprint any good?

How is their service because I'm seriously thinking about switching over different carriers. Right now I have Verizon and my contract ended and I was thinking that since Verizon now has a tiered data plan and Sprint has unlimited, is their service any good just like Verizon?

I did the opposite I went from sprint to Verizon. I wS a sprint customer during the whole push to talk thing. I found them to be way overpriced for their service and their reception in my area was extremely shoddy, I live in NY, cell towers aren't an endangered species here yet driving on the southern state was like driving in the sahara. mission76

I love sprint! True unlimited data is awesome. I've tethered my Android phone (free via rooted) and had to use it for a month as my primary ISP... 10-20Gigs later, no call from Sprint, no extra charges beyond my monthly bill and still loyal. Plus at $69 dollars, you can call any cell phone from any network for free. You only get 450 minutes for land line calls. I think Spring is an awesome competitor and they have been getting some impressive phones too lately, especially with the iPhone 5 coming too. But it does boil down if the network signal is strong or weak or existing in your area.

Their was a Sprint kiosk right outside the store I worked at and all I can say is they have some cool phones.

I can tell you that Sprint works where Verizon doesn't. And I haven't any complaints about it.

I had sprint on a work phone this summer. Sprint sucks. It didn't have good service (I was in the San Fransisco bay where I would expect great service), and it would drop calls when I was in service.

I have verizon for my personal phone and it is way better.

Sprint offers the best service for the price as I recall (partially because they are more desperate than the big 2)

If I was not part of a cheaper family plan(My min cost about 10$) I would have jumped to Sprint

i enjoy my sprint phone for what it's worth unlimited calls and txts rock.

If you live in a major city Sprint will be good, if you live outside of a big city in a small town the service sucks. I have had Sprint before.UprootedDreamer

Actual cell service depends on where you live. Mine's been somewhat terrible service since I moved to Arizona because there aren't very many Sprint towers close by. Their service plans are pretty great. though.scorch-62

I just picked up sprint last December. The price is fantatstic and the service is way better than it was a few years ago. I fortunately live in a 4g area which works great with my Evo but it would suck if you didn't live in a 4g area but had to pay the 10 bucks a month for it.

Welll judging by reading the comments, looks like Sprint it is.:)

I had Sprint for more than 10 years, I left. my calls dropped all the time every single time.. I went to VirginMobile(unlimited web and text), calls never dropped not even once, and they use Sprint network... I wouldn't like Verizon either, no more contract phones for me.

[QUOTE="Dogswithguns"][QUOTE="groovdafied"] Virgin Mobile USA = Sprintgroovdafied

[QUOTE="groovdafied"]

[QUOTE="Dogswithguns"] Yep.. and only $25 a month, not $99. Dogswithguns

[QUOTE="Dogswithguns"][QUOTE="groovdafied"] $99 is their unnlmited everything... They also have $69 for unlimited data and any cell phone network calls. + $10 for smart phones. Also includes free roaming on any other CDMA tower (means no additional fees). It really all depends on the phone you use/buy. I'm very happy with my plan on sprint, but to each their own.

Its ok, 3g can be spotty but i'm on wifi 90 percent of the time no a huge deal. Call quailty is great, i haven't had any drop calls or any issues of people hearing me. I have had some issues sending texts, some times they don't send.

[QUOTE="e_stone001"][QUOTE="Dogswithguns"] Okay.. $60+$18 tax+$7 fees this and that+who knows what $4 = $89.. that's $1080 a year. no thank you.James161324

[QUOTE="e_stone001"] But isn't Virgin Mobile sort of slow with its services? I have a brother who had a Virgin Mobile phone and he hated it. Their service was horrible and he didn't like the way how they handled it. ferrari2001

I have Sprint now but when I lived on the East Coast I had Verizon. Verizon for smaller towns on the East Coast is better.

If you live in major cities or travel along major interstates there really isn't much difference.
