I picked up a Sprint Touch Pro phone in the deal, and retired the AT&T Tilt and Verizon W385 phones I had been carrying. My one Sprint tower is more than 10 miles away from home and I get a couple of bars with no call drops.

I couldn't make or receive calls, in the house, with AT&T or Verizon. I have 2 AT&T towers; 1 mile and 4 miles away. My Verizon tower was 7 miles away.

I've been pleasantly surprised with the quality of my Sprint calls. I'm still evaluating their EVDO data. It seems better in the outlying areas than V or ATT.

I called their customer support line yesterday with an aircard I couldn't activate. It seems the Master Lock Code field was corrupted, so my OTSL code wouldn't take. The techs were quite open with giving me a new MLC as well as a number of utility codes for manipulating the card.

Compared with the paranoia and device control obsession of Verizon and (to a lesser degree AT&T) it was a really nice experience. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/So-not-dumping-them-21866135 Thu, 05 Feb 2009 08:50:21 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-I-dumped-them-21862246 Nextel has worked decently for me, although lack of coverage is my biggest issue. Coverage in the UP of Michigan and Canada is non existent.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-I-dumped-them-21862246 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 15:35:12 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/I-dumped-them-21861638
I often got no signal inside my own house, and at my mother inlaws house I NEVER got signal inside, only outside. Granted she lives a little bit up a hill, but it is still only HALF a mile as the crow flies from the 91 freeway, one of the busiest of Southern California. Hell, I often lost my calls when I drove in her neighborhood.

AT&T works in my house, at her house, inside and out, driving everywhere in SoCal, and it worked in Michigan and Ontario, Canada everywhere I went on a trip this January.

In two words: Sprint Sucks.
