Re: LOL You're correct, somewhat. Verizon and AT&T charge $50-$70 PER LINE what Sprint charges $30 for on top of a normal voice plan, less on a family plan.
OTOH Sprint netted 300+ thousand customers on prepaid service this quarter. Most of them were probably on Boost Mobile's unlimited $50 per month plan, which is fine. Sprint is making money off of them, and re-utilizing the old iDEN network. The rest are Virgi Mobile folks, who pay a bit more for their 3service and use the regualr Sprint network.
One thing that Sprint has over everyone else is their data network, and to some extent their voice network. I can't remember the last time my phone dropped a call or had audio quality problems on Sprint. I caan't remember the last time my phone data has been sluggish. Try that with AT&T, T-Mobile or even Verizon. |

I have a Sprint phone, and a Verizon phone. My Sprint phone doesn't receive reception in my house, my Verizon phone has 5 bars. Calls drop on Sprint, they are crystal clear on Verizon.
Service is different everywhere, just because it works great for you, doesn't mean that's going to be the case for all of us.

I have a suggestion for you on the coverage issue with sprint. If you have a computer at home and it has either DSL or Highspeed broadband cable internet then you can call sprint and ask for a device called the airave. It is about the size of a router, it connects right into the back of your computer and is like having your own personal tower in your home. I got one and it works great. It covers 5000 SQ feet and the service is great now. Simple, easy and problem solved. Hope this helps, good luck. |
