where is sprint in terms of reception?
1. Verizon
2. Cingular
3. T-mobile.
but i'm not familiar with sprint. also... why should i go with sprint? what do they offer?
T-Mobile has the smallest coverage area of all the providers (except maybe Nextel).
It really depends on where you live. If I were you, I'd activate a Sprint phone and take advantage of their 14-day trial. Activate the phone with a new number and if it works out, call customer service and have them port your T-Mobile number onto your phone, replacing the existing number you originally started with. Elsewise, just cancel Sprint and try another provider.
T-Mobile for the most part worked fine, and I had very little problems with it. However, one of the problems I did have was coverage while travelling (as in transit...once I got to where I was going it was fine). Also, getting signal inside buildings was kind of hit or miss, and it barely worked inside my house.
With Sprint, I have found the improvements I was looking for in a new provider, but they have their downsides too.
Sprint works inside my house, and in more buildings than T-Mobile ever did. Both carriers primary operating frequency is 1900 MHz, which has an upside of better sound quality, but lacks in signal pene...
