Is it me or is sprint starting to suck big time??
I've had sprint for about 2 years and they are beginning to tick me off. First they merge with nextel and start charging an arm and a leg for stuff. The fair and flexible plan is pretty much bs. Remember when it was $5 for 100 extra minutes not $5 for 50. Text messaging has gone up and coverage in my area sucks ass. The free incoming plan is only good if you have perfect coverage. I had the plan and went over my alloted minutes because my calls would drop and i would have to make a return call. . . Its too time consuming to report every dropped call you have.
Does any one else have the same frustrations as me???

The plans actually include more minutes now and many of them include the free roaming so I'm not complaining. Coverage is excellent around here and only getting better.

Only things I havent been happy about are the way ESN changes no matter what automaticly restart your new upgrade eligability, no matter what your reason was for switching it, and the other is how they will no longer honor manufactures rebates in the store after 30 days. I understand the business side behind it, but I still don't like it. Other than that I have been happy, get great service and love my plan. Plus where else am I gonna get a 23% discount off my monthly bill?

Speaking of roaming, with the Sprint plans, if you roam over half of your monthly mins, will you be charged or is all roaming included?
...
Not exactly. you are allowed up to 50% of you minutes used to be roam, after that they will send you a letter. Maybe 2. If you continue to abuse it I think that they will drop you. One way to find out for sure is to call customer service with *2 on your phone.
...
Yeah if over 50% of your minutes are roaming you technically aren't considered a Sprint customer anymore, you are using a different network more than Sprint's. Remember they are footing the bill for all those roaming charges, so it's not that bad of a setup.
...
From what i was told there is no way for them to track that. That is the reason that the roaming is now incuded.

Sprint has now included unlimited roaming into its markets. Which means they will cover all roaming. This change came after cingular wireless was forced to drop coverage in all of north texas, oklahoma, and new mexico. Cingular wireless was renting towers from Cellular One now Alltel Wireless when the buy out went in effect. This left Cingular with no contract on the tower use for Cellular one and XTI Wireless. These carriers are local carriers for the area. Sprint then lunched 100%roaming in the plans to pick up all the Cingular customers now losing coverage with there 50% roaming plans.

Yes, I am with you. I got sprint last January and was overall pleased up until this merger deal. Since the merger my coverage has decreased. I used to get service in my house and now I am constantly searching for a signal! ARRGH. 😈
