AT&T sucks an I'm tired of my iPhone. Sprint has the best rates and I can get 4g in my area. I'm thinking of switching over and getting the new HTC evo 4g phone. How good is sprint?

I've had Sprint for about 6 years.    Around here the reception is ok, but often times other people will have service when I don't get any.

My bill is pretty high.   I have unlimited minutes, no roaming, unlimited texts and no data plan or internet and it still runs me $91 a month.   I've been looking around to find something better.  I have to do the no roaming thing, because I live in the sticks.

I have had it for 2 years now and i have no complaints at all, they have very good rates IMHO.

I have had Sprint for years and they have always worked well for me.  Sprint has no charges for roaming, so basically you have a signal any place that ANYONE has a signal, as long as your phone has roaming activated.  I have a fairly hefty bill but I have four phones on the account.

In my area, Sprint has the best coverage and costs the least.  
I've got the Evo 4G, and absolutely love it.

I've been with Sprint for a good long while.



Never had any issues.  Still can't wait to pick up my Evo 4G.

I've been with sprint for 3 years. Before I switched I activated a new line and carried 2 cell phones for a month to compare service. It was comparable to ATT, so I ported my #. I pay $67 a month for 500 anytime and unlimited everything else- that figure includes taxes. Don't forget on the unlimited plans you get free calls to any mobile #, not just sprint customers. I hardly use any of my anytime minutes.

I've had an Evo since mid-July and I love it.

I love sprint, I have unlimited everything (internet, calling to anywhere in U.S. or Canada for as long as I want, unlimited texting and picture messaging) for 70 dollars a month after taxes and that includes insurance on my phone.  But that includes a discount from my employer, still great rates though.

I'm on an employee plan and can't pick one up yet.  I just called the store and they said: "We're supposed to find out in September when we can pick up the Evo 4G."



SEPTEMBER?!  Fuck me running!  The phone's been out for 2 months already.

I have had good luck with my 3G wireless card in remote areas.  Its not the fastest broadband, but it is reliable.

The unintelligent sales person I spoke with told me that plan is not available with the no roaming feature, so I would end up paying WAY more than I do now because most of my calls are made from a "roaming" location.

It seems that fact kinda screws me, but if you aren't in a postion where roaming is an issue then you should be good to go.   I had Alltell way back in the day and Sprint beats them hands down.

I pay $50 a month for unlimted everything but voice. Since I have a work phone I dont need more minutes. I always have service, even in the subway and ball parks here.  I use a lot of data and regularly pull between 1.5 and 2.2 kbps which is great considering I dont have 4g. I couldnt be happier but I dont have a free phone. Others here with the cheaper phones dont get service in places that I do.

Are you anywhere near NoVA? If so I've got a guy who will hook you up.

I've had my EVDO card through Sprint for 3 years now, I upgraded to the 3g/4g modem last year.  It's been great...  I can get good signal for my laptop on 95 from Virginia all the way down to Florida...  fantastic for a bored teenager.

I don't know much about their cell phones, though.

$79.98 if you buy the Evo (mandatory $9.99 4G upcharge).  I've been very happy with my coverage, service and EVO BTW.
