Why All Businesses Should Switch From Sprint To Another Carrier

#1. Because it's much more personal to call 100 people, one at a time, than instantly.

#2. Because paying the extra $$$ for their "everything" plans is worth it since money and meeting a budget is never an issue.

#3. Because money is no object: who cares if at least a dozen phones a month break because they get dropped? Cool phones are always better!

#4. Because being the only provider with service in areas with no cell towers or when the phone lines are all down isn't important.

#5. Because they all have plenty of time to make 100+ cellphone calls a day just to have a four second conversation.

#6. Because in a world where it's all about speed and getting things done, going to something slower and more reliable is a better ...

Bottom line is this: nobody in here CARES! 🙄

This forum is for exchanging ideas about phones and services, and advice for those having certain issues, not a "I hate Sprint, and so should you" arena.

The reason folks in here have Sprint is because of their business, or own personal needs. Hate to be the one to tell you, but AT&T doesn't have coverage everywhere.

There's a saying that goes something like this: people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. AT&T has been at the bottom in recent years, and only Sprint is keeping them from being the...

"Stupid and pointless" says the guy wasting all that effort defending a wireless carrier? Hey Bud. You maybe need a hobby too. Talk about living in glass houses.

The difference between me and you is I am a grown up who doesnt get all bent when someone knocks any company. You think AT&T sucks? Good for you. It doesn't bother me if in the least because I am not some fanboy for either. Maybe you ought to relax and let people express their opinions both good and bad and if you want to defend something so passionately on something that counts, join the Marines.

Otherwise, stop your crying and just skip over the posts that hurt your widdle feelings.

Who is it now that died and made you god of Phonescoop? As long as I post within the guidelines set forth by the actual owners of the forum, I am pretty sure I can post whatever opinion that I like.

I did not ignore your point about Sprint working for some people. Frankly, I don't care. If it works for you then fine. Use it. I don't need a "comeback" for a statement that I agree with. If it's what works for you then use it. However, that doesn't have anything to do with discussing Sprints current financial dire straits and the fact that customers are leaving them in droves.

I've said some mean things about Sprint but it's not like I just post threads like "Sprint Sucks" and leave it at that. For the most part, what I throw out for di...

Whether or not you are posting within community guidelines is debateable. The mods here a pretty lenient for the most part.

The etiquette I speak of has been established by the users of these forums. That's why you're getting an earful here and in the Verizon forum. Just trying to give you some good advice, but as usual, you won't take any, so post at your own risk.

Even if Sprint does go completely under, the end result will be that the company will be divided up among the other carriers, and all us "poor" Sprint folks would finally be out of our contracts. Wouldn't that be a good thing then, given your perspective?

What WILL happen is that TMobile, or some other company is going to buy Sprint, iDEN will become a public safety network, a little sooner than planned, and business as usual will go on.

Who actually calls and carries on a conversation with 100 people at a time? You may have a very small niche of that MIGHT do something similar, but this point is highly exaggerated. And with them looking to dump Nextel and loosing over a million customers per quarter, who's going to be left to use PTT with on that large of a scale.

#2. Because paying the extra $$$ for their "everything" plans is worth it since money and meeting a budget is never an issue.

Actually customer service and support are far more important in big business that a few dollars difference in cost of service. Something that Sprint ha

Two way radio still needs towers, unless you are using walkie-talkies. In that case, you need to be within a couple of miles of each other to use them. And who even cares about Nextel? You are talking to a fraction of a percentage of the population here. Again, if walkie-talkies were what people wanted, Nextel would have more customers than all combined. It's weak to actually argue in defense of Nextel services which are actually the biggest whole in the ship causing Sprint to sink.

Sprints EVDO network is faster than Sprint? Even if it's true it's not by a noticeable amount. And EVDO is not faster than HSPDA.

it will function with in five miles or so which is much more than any regular phone with noo coverage. Nice rebuttal to the faster argument except you didnt proof read lol. and yes there is a noticeable differnce between rev a and rev 0 which is why vzw is changing over. I didnt say its faster than hspda just pointing it its faster than the most comparable competition. I would love to have hspda in my neck of the woods and will consider switching from cdma when that happens.

Who actually calls that many people all at once? Try construction workers, emergency responders and anyone else who wants to communicate with a large group of folks, all at once as opposed to contacting them one at a time, that's who.

Yes, many subscribers have left Sprint, but that doesn't mean that the ones who have are still getting their business done as efficiently. I used to pay someone to mow my yard and do my flower beds when I worked a massive amount of overtime. When the overtime ceased, I stopped doing that and did it myself. My yard and greenery is nowhere near as nice, but I had to save money, so gone are the gardeners.

Businesses make decisions based on a number of factors COST, most definitely being one of them. It is st...

What a stereotypical point of view. Yeah all sprint costumers want in an indestructible phone that will only be able to contact other people who need such a social addiction, that it has to be more than just two people saying hello and hanging up. 🙄
