Maybe you're tired of Sprint endlessly screwing up your bill, or having to pay an extra $120.00/yr on a 4G network you can't use, and when you can use it you don't want to because your phone will die before lunch time.

Maybe you're tired of a lack of follow up on carrier initiatives.

Maybe you want a smartphone that doesn't freeze randomly on incoming calls (evo evo evo) or doesn't die after 4 hours of use (evo evo evo ) , or are maybe tired of owning the knockoffs sprint seems to get compared to real providers.

Or maybe you're just tired of the Jerry springer reenactments at Sprint stores.

Now there is an even better special offer- if you switch from Sprint, you don't have to put up with Sprint.

Actually, you're not paying any extra for 4G service anymore. $10 premium data is required on all smartphones. Either way, smartphone plans are still significantly cheaper through Sprint than every carrier I've seen.

I've never seen an Evo freeze up during an incoming call. Just because yours did doesn't mean they all do. Plus, the Evo is pretty much on par with all of the other high-end smartphones, especially since it's what, a year old? I'm not much a fan of Sprint's service in my area, either, but do your research before posting such a ridiculous comment.

If ten dollars more a month is what you consider SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper, than yes I agree.

If you're telling me that you can get what Sprint offers on it's 79.99 Everything Data plan, with the additional $10.00 from either AT&T or Verizon for less, I would like to see it.

I won't even factor in that most of the discounts Sprint offers for your whoever your employer is are deeper as well.

Actually... the $10.00 more per month is cheaper...

I've posted this numerous times but some people just don't get it...

ATT Plan
450 anytime minutes +
5000 nw min +
unlimited messaging +
2gb data plan
= $84.99
*source www.att.com

VZW Plan
450 anytime +
unlimited nw min +
Unlimited text +
Unlimited data(for now they already announced that it was going bye-bye)
= 89.98
*source www.verizonwireless.com

Sprint Plan
450 anytime min+
unlmited nw min +
unlimited messaging +
unlimited data
= $79.99(this includes the $10.00 charge addon)
*source www.sprint.com


As you can see, you actually save $60.00 per year over ATT and get even MORE.
You pay $120.00 more per year with Verizon and get about the same ...

I'm not sure they train people to "Lie", but they do teach to train Value. First, I can't understand why ANYONE would choose AT&T for phone service. Second, I choose VZW because for that $10 more per moth than the Sprint plan, I feel I get better coverage. Now, it may be my area, but I can drive under an interstate here and lose Sprint and AT&T. I can drive out of the city and lose Sprint and AT&T. My fiance' has Cricket and only loses signal when she leaves the city. She has unlimited everything (including roaming) for $65/month and no contract.So for me and mine, Cricket is better than Sprint, and by better I mean same coverage at a cheaper price. Other people may have better Sprint coverage...

Sorry, man. If the sales people are trained to tell customers that you have to "spend 120.00 more with Sprint to get 4G that customers can't even use", then yes it's a bold faced LIE. Sorry you don't like that your employers are liars...

As far as the cost vs Verizon, You also get free navigation... And so you pay 10.00 more per month that gives you service during the 3 minutes you are going thru a tunnel. Good call. 🙄

As far as your very stretched out theory, no Cricket wouldn't be better than Sprint because a) They use Sprint for their network b) You have to buy the (inferior)phone at a large mark up because of the no contract and c)there is no roaming with Cricket off of the home network...
Also, to completely crap on your Cr...

Well, MY employers have never trained me to tell customers that, so they are not liars, nor am I.

Since we are talking data, I assume you are discussing smartphones. Android has a free app that gives me navagation for free, so the $10 more I pay per monthis for when I drive from here to another state is worth it becau...

I will never understand your quest to addlepate other forum member's minds with ignorance.

Whatever differences you have with the carrier in question, I would recommend stifling your opinion. An opinion that doesn't have some sort of childish attachments, makes for good information for those that seek it including myself.

Yours however, is reminiscent of a young boy wearing a cap with a propeller spinning above it. You like ATT and you like the iPhone. Nothing wrong with your choice. It's your choice and many else's. But quit trying to insult the intelligence of others that seek elsewhere for choices.

This is a great incentive that this carrier is offering. They have the right to offer it. It is attached to many improvements the ca...
