Color over all the roaming areas on the coverage map with green, like VZW does in red.

1) They actually have to have roaming here.
2) They have to actually allow unlimited roaming in these areas.


Verizon uses two colors of red for their coverage because if you are on their nationwide plans, it doesn't matter if you are roaming or if you are on native coverage (except when it comes to where you want your phone number). Look at their prepaid map, or take our their roaming (it is clearly marked) Verizon's native coverage (especially with alltel) is Huge.

Nice try though.

With "better" coverage like this, I'll settle for second rate! 🤣

Firewalled site is firewalled.

If sprint works great where you live and verizon doesn't (or they are the same) and price is your ownly concern, go with sprint.

But there is a huge difference between bashing a company you don't like over half truths and straw man arguments and simply saying that for where you are, your carrier is the best.

It's really more about how annoying it is that people are so easily persuaded by the "it's the network" ads and then drop whatever carrier they have and rush to verizon. I don't see what makes them so great. Sprint has more features, betters features, better prices, and for me better coverage. I know Verizon has a larger coverage area, but come on... it's not that much better.

Our coverage is 3 times the size of Sprints now, so is our 3G. Thats a lot better. Sprint is going to loose a lot of money from Alltel not roaming on Sprint as much as they use to. And Verizon will make doubble the money from Sprint roaming on Verizons network which is also Alltels network.

It's immeasurable how full of crap you are. First prove that verizons coverage is 3 times bigger than Sprints...thats ridiculous and barely worth my time to respond to. Second, verizons advertisement of having the largest 3G network is based on number of people covered (they have more customer's, thats obvious), but Sprint 3G is actually available in more areas.

Couldn't have put it better myself! A Verizon troll is the absolute worst. Period. It is amazing how a great marketing campaign can skew the truth. Funny how all the disclaimers in the small print at the bottom of the ads reiterates what rarodrig26 said. More people=more covered. I love how the whole US is red in the Verizon map........bull$hit at its finest. I have to explain this to customers all the time. 🤣

Verizon covers 3 times the people then Sprint does. The Red says Nation Wide Netwrok with NO roaming charges inside of the US. Click Pre Paid to see Verizon native network and Roaming partners area.

And you explain to your customers that Verizons network is the largest 3G network and most reliable. Also, Verizon has the largest calling network along with the largest native coverage in the US?

Roaming charges were done away with by all four national carriers years ago. Very few regional carriers even charge for roaming anymore.

The big red map is bull because even though they don't charge for roaming, guess what? YOU'RE STILL ROAMING! 🙄

Where exactly do you get your numbers?

And you know what is so funny about you guys running around and beating your chests about the extra Alltel coverage you picked up? There are strategic roaming agreements in place that have to be honored as part of the FCC signing off on the deal to allow the "merger" (more like takeover) to be completed. So other companies have access to those territories as well.

Show me where Verizon covers three times as many people. Please give me and all the other Sprint users and employees in this SPRINT (not Verizon) forum proof of what you claim. Not your Bull$hit red coverage map that does not distinguish between native and roaming coverage. You know, if Sprint printed their coverage maps with all of ou...

It's the network.... with 50% more dropped calls than Sprint

It's the network.... with a lot of 1X mixed with EVDO so that the data speeds are inconsistent even in the same city going from cell site to cell site.

It's the network..... that thumps it's chest when much of its coverage is rural coverage scattered across hilltops and unusable in the valleys.

Get real, your RF is not superior RF to anyone else's. in our market you go to "extended network" in some rural areas and guess who you roam on? Sprint, you know the company with no coverage.

It's the network.... that spends 2 billion dollars on TV advertising to tell the world they are better. What would happen if you put some of that marketing money into that network.

It's ...
