Well It really depends. In some areas where Sprint gets service, Verizon doesn't. They use each other for roaming.
To me, it sounds like Sprint has a great deal going there. And if you don't have roaming charges, Sprint has the upper hand.

I can assure you they don't always use the same towers. Maybe in an area where Sprint doesn't have a license and Verizon does, but in areas where they both have a license to sell you are going to get Sprint only. They are at the very bottom of each others priority lists and will be very few and far between. Again, in a city or any area where both have service you're only going to get Sprint.
I'm not sure what kind of roaming agreements Sprint & Verizon have, but on the Verizon side, there are very few roaming agreements. So I would not expect most areas to have free roaming with Verizon.

Thoughts Please!
You would think but that's simply not the case, sprint service drops a lot of calls and their overall network is not as robust as verizon's...their capacity is far less. And if you roam off sprint network more than fifty percent sprint will cancel you. I know it looks temping but it has been my experience that its just not worth it. Not to mention the world worst customer care. Their churn is the highest in the industry for a reason, I say stay put. Good luck.

yeah its just as good when you are using verizon towers. however most the time you will be using sprints network which everyone knows (altho sprint employees wont want to admit) is vastly inferior to verizon wireless' network
Yes, Verizon and Sprint do roam off of each other sometimes, but most of the time that won't matter, 'cuz when Sprint roams off of Verizon towers, they have to PAY Verizon for the privilege. So in an area that has both companies' towers, do you honestly think Sprint is gonna want you to be using a Verizon tower, if they can help it? Nope. You'll be on Sprint towers most of the time, unless you're out in t...
