Sprint Finally Sees Some Subscriber Growth > I like Sprint....

I like Sprint....

Exactly....here in NYC it roams off VZW network all the time and service sucks. If they had more towers I would switch with them.

How do you know they roam off VZW towers ? They actually have their own network from work I know but I might be wrong. I actually get really good service in NY all over from sprint funny you say they suck.

I hear there is zero coverage in Camden, TN.

It's usually people who don't have Sprint who thinks Sprint has coverage issues (where Sprint claims to have coverage). My brother in Brooklyn had an old Sprint phone (before his Treo/Pre) with broken antenna and had no issues with Sprint in NYC and it didn't roam. I asked him if people he knows with VZW have better service and he said he couldn't tell the difference. He has no complaints with service.

while I disagree with your adjective description, I have to agree with your sentiment that Sprint could use more towers, repeaters, micro cells, etc.

Maybe the 4G rollout will fix this. Or at least give us better 3G coverage in places we roam now.

But all in all, Im a happy camper with my EVO. Works where I need to and my pkg doesnt cost me more when Im roaming so I stay connected. And connected is all I need.

Sprint -

I drive Albany to Ottawa

I don't lose 3G service, roam 3G in Canada, pay nothing extra with data roaming on in Pre.

No loss of signal NYC - Quebec City

No loss of signal Albany - Bar Harbor, ME

NYC Metro area has amazing coverage as good as VZ.

Spring is second only to VZ in coverage, and they are pretty close.

People who have sprint, know.

It is true their CS used to suck, but it is above all now with call centers in the USA. My building is old and has poor cell service, they gave me a free AIRAVE with free service.

Never worry about minutes, data, or anything, roaming is free.

I have both actually. My personal phone is VZW and I work at a Sprint dealer so I take store phones with me when I get off and let me tell you service is horrible.

And since our store phones include every single feature....it's kind of annoying that when I'm using Sprint Navigation.....service goes out while driving a lot causing the GPS to be useless.

Sprint works very well in SoCal.

reply to Cheese

said by Cheese I do have sprint, and I think they have coverage issues.
[/BQUOTE :

I've noticed issues with Sprint in parts of FL too, but only where Sprint does not claim to have good coverage. The point I was making is Sprint does have pretty good coverage where they claim to in most cases, like metro NYC.

I often visit a friend who lives in a rural part of Brooksville, FL and I barely get a native signal, but the maps says it as a roaming area so should be expected. Am able to roam fine though so no complaints. You don't want Sprint where they don't claim to have good coverage. Looks like they aren't too strong in Naples so should be expected.
