My Real Test
I had a post on here ealier talking about coverage issues im having with sprint.....
On a whim, I went to best but and bought a PREPAID AT&T and T-mobile phone, they were both on clearence, so togeather I paid about 22.00...not bad...
Me side by side results.
Sprint -- 2 Bars - Call out - Choppy Convo.
T-mobile -- 1 Bars - Could not call out.
AT&T -- ALL bars. give or take 1. Good call...Great Service....
Im not nessisarily going to switch....but I just wanted to compare

you can't compare connection bars, for two reasons.
1. each manufacturer has a different amount of bars to determine what is strongest. like some makes have 4 bars, some have 5.
2. each make even model, the manufacturer has dteremined what he/she thinks 1 is equivilent to what in strength. it becomes a matter of opinion at that point.
while i don't doubt your numbers, you have to judge by clarity of call. to go solely by number of bars on the phone is absolutely ridiculous. you could have no bars of service and have a clear call. or, you could have a full bar os service and keep dropping service. its a hit an miss. hope all goes well in your search for that perfect phone.

Sprint - Called out garbled
TMOBILE - Could Not Call Out
ATT- Clear, no problems

doesnt mean Sprint is awful. Coverage depends everywhere, doesnt matter if your GSM or CDMA, it really depends. if your in a mountainous area, in the boonies, just really really depends!
