Yes, but find me a newer report and Ill read it. I've searched and these studies are seemingly hard to come by, probably because the carriers dont keep track of the total mileage covered.

Since this report, Nextel's iDEN network has grown within 1 million of AT&T's native network. Sprint PCS' native coverage is at a solid 262 million.

On a Powersource phone, the combined total network coverage for DC and voice is way more than AT&T.

And Sprint STILL holds the title for largest VOICE only coverage in the U.S. Even with the shutdown of analog roaming sites, Sprint still trumps everyone else.

Wow, well said. Good point, this is the Sprint forum, so we talk about Sprint. Evilhomer, why do you even come in the Sprint forum? Or anyone that doesnt use Sprint for that matter?... I think it is a reflection on the life, or lack of a life that some must have. I would NEVER go to the verizon forum and jump on threads about Verizon, even though I had to fight with them for a year when they said I owed 400$ on an account that was closed in good standing.

Dear Evilhomer, When you say "Do you think 4g will make a bit of difference" Are you serious?? The answer is YES. So sorry your education doesnt allow you to understand complex theories or ideas but there is no doubt that 4g will make a difference for Sprint. It will attract the hard core users that demand the best right off the bat, then the added services will attract the more everyday users over time. You cant tell me that the capabilities of Wimax dont sound interesting, and if you can you are clearly lacking an understanding of what Wimax is. Its ok little buddy! I am sure you can offer some good advice on sweeping floors or whatever it is you do.

One thing is for sure, Sprint will be 2 years ahead of everyone launching 4g an...

Dear Xfart: I can promise you that I've forgotten more about technology that you'll ever know. Just by your childish remarks I can tell that you aren't as smart or as high up in your company as you claim. You sound like a thirteen year old with your insults.

My point is that if Sprint's voice AND data network are already superior in every way to all other carriers as you continually boast here, then why are people still leaving in droves and Sprint continuing to loose money? Of course 4G is attractive but not attached to the Sprint name. Again, if anyone cared about Sprint's boasting of coverage, price plans, data network, etc., then it seems to reason they be number one. Wouldn't they?

Sprint seems to have lost their credibility with...

262 million? Even T-Mobile covers 280 Million.(95% of the population).

I would love to see what AT&T and Verizon cover as well. Couldn't find any information on it for them.

Verizon, ATT, and Sprint's coverages ALL independently are WAY WAY bigger than Tmobile. I highly doubt you will find anyone that will argue with that. Tmobile is the turd carrier out of all the US carriers. I would sooner have Alltel than Tmobile and their 2g anyday.

And where is your evidence to prove your statement?

T-Mobile’s customer satisfaction with coverage is number 2 to Verizon – higher than both AT&T and Sprint
JD Power and Associates’ recent Call Quality study ranks T-Mobile number 1 in the Southwest Region (beating Verizon); and we beat AT&T and Sprint in five out of six regions nationwide
Consumer Reports in January ’08 found that T-Mobile beat AT&T and Sprint and was equal with Verizon in most of the metro areas surveyed
J.D. Power and Associates has awarded T-Mobile the Highest Ranked Wireless Customer Service Performance award seven times in a row

Should read: Sprint bottom among post-paids and Virgin tops among pre-paid.

Sorry. ☹️

Well, are you talking POPS or geography?

Population is what the article was speaking of, not square mileage, only Alltel claims to know mile for mile how much it covers. Which is BS because you could never really measure each towers foot print. Weather, seasons, geography, lots of things will change.

Since all the carriers only measure population covered that is the only way to judge. Verizon and Sprint's coverage will be really similar geographic. They roam alot off of each other. There really is hardly a difference with Verizon and Sprint, "network" wise.

Actually with the Verizon side, except for people with old National Single Rate & Americas Choice 1 plans, Verizon users are rarely allowed to roam on Sprint. Verizon has very few markets marked for Sprint roaming. But for an area of Texas where Sprint is the only CDMA carrier, is a no service zone for Verizon users. I forgot what part of Texas it is, but the GSM carriers have the cellular licenses, and Sprint is the only CDMA carr...

Evilhomo, if you really were knowledgeable on the subject matter you would know Sprint has invested heavily in customer service reform, not just network. Sprint may be going through some hard times but it doesnt mean they cant pay their light bill by ANY means. Both network and customer service are going through some extreme changes, such as the new unified billing platform conversion that just wrapped up. People fail to notice with a new billing platform many of the billing errors seen in the past will be no more, thus happier customers with less reasons to have to go to s store or call in. Verizon uses an old but proven billing platform on the west coast which works for them but many wonder about its cabability to keep up in the future...
(continues)

that's a terrible excuse. Do you not think other carriers don't upgrade their systems? For example, T-Mob just rolled out a brand new billing system last week. No issues, no complaints. It's not that hard to upgrade your systems without completely screwing them up. Sprint's major issue was the nextel conversion, thats why your systems are completely messed up and just get worse when you try to fix them.

HAHAHAHA, you're telling me you think it isnt hard to move MILLIONS of customers from one billing platform to a completely new platform? Your posting privileges should be revoked. I dont know whether or not Tmobile has a new billing system but i do challenge you to post some sort of article, im not saying I doubt you but I hadnt heard of that. I guarantee you are naive to think it would be "easy" though. Sprint uses a company called Amdocs to build their billing system, I know for sure tmobile uses Amdocs in at least some areas. SO if Sprint and Tmobile outsource their billing platforms to the same company,

(continues)

your right i have absolutely no idea what i'm taking about. I'll just keep letting you think what you will about sprint and your advanced knowledge of "systems"

As if you would know the issues or complaints caused by converting to a new billing platform. I am sure first sign of trouble tmobile calla you Xjittianx. OH NO something is wrong, lets post about it on phonescoop and call Xjianianx. You would never know, most customers the errors effect will never know, and Tmobile might not even know about alot of them because when it is a contraced company like Amdocs making the platform they wont even admit to all the mistakes they make, they just fis them ASAP.

haha dude what are you talking about. just stop.

donno.

i would often roam while on sprint even when in supposedly strong sprint home areas, plus i would often had to force roaming in many building...i think their network is pretty weak foot print wise, if it wasn't for roaming sprint would have very little coverage...yes they all roam but verizon has a huge native network.

100% wrong.

Verizon has the smallest native coverage of any national network.

The reason Sprint phones show they are roaming more is because they don't claim "extended network" status like other carriers such as Verizon do, which is basically ROAMING.

At least you can force a Sprint phone into roaming. The Verizon phone I had, the device controlled the roaming exper...

So say positive "stuff" that's not a lie. I know that may be a little hard for Sprint right now, but you can't just make stuff up and expect everyone to go "okay, ya! woo sprint!"

try "hey that new BB pearl is a great phone, it's really helping us bring in new customers!"

see, not too hard.

Go away, take your 2g Tmobile joke service and leave the Sprint forums. I would take my chances with ANY major carrier before Tmobile.... Tmobile has 3g rolled out barely in one city, woohoo!

who says i have t-mobile? I'm just using infomation i have access to. Verizon is the best carrier out there on terms of numbers and data involved.

this is common anger you get from frustrated Sprint employees and users. Don't worry, it will get better, when sprint is sold to a better carrier.

Xfort said:

I'd be a little careful, DT may own Sprint some day.

Good, that would be great turning into the number 1 carrier via a merger. My job would be safe and it would be good to be #1 and meld tmobile and Sprint. Only thing is if you read past the headlines you would know that the chance of a merger taking place is VERY VERY VERY slim... Sprint's buyout of Nextel was regarded as one of the worst merger/buy outs in history because the technology was different. Tmobile would be confronted with the same issues and theyre doing fine now so why would they want to takje a chance of a 50 billion dollar disaster? Most expert opinions agree they wont.

Not sure why everyone thinks it would be a "bad" thing for Sprint for Deutsche to buy them out. The same type deals has made Verizon, ATT, Tmobile,...

Yes, I did have Verizon years ago.

Your point?

he loved it but then he heard chirp chirp while at a nascar race and that's all she wrote 🙂

Cool I'll let you know when i receive my fist forum warning 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

He thinks we blow chunks..He wouldn't knoe cause he's blowing hunks, well thats we he calls em

He thinks we blow chunks..He wouldn't know cause he's blowing hunks, well thats we he calls em. Yes I know I had a typo so save it 😉

is that message for me? i don't mean anything offensive or bad against sprint. I do love sprint and i actually work with sprint. I apologize though if i said something wrong.

no, more for the people who just bitch and hate on sprint. I don't think what you said was all that bad. it was more of a general gripe. nothin but sprint haters, and I've been nothing but happy with them for the last 4 years I've been a customer

Well said guys! 😁

Which call center are you in?
