Sprint or T-Mobile - Need Quick Help
Thanks for reading this:
I live in So. California. I do not travel much outside of the state aside for visits to Las Vegas and Dallas.
The company I work for offers a special price on Sprint PCS plans with a free Sanyo 8100 phone. The prices are 500 minutes @ $33.75 or 300 minutes @ $26.50.
I currently use T-Mobile (Nokia 3565) and haven't had any huge issues with the service. I am on a 39.99 plan that includes 600 minutes.I almost always stay within my plans minutes .. usually under by about 150 or so.
The Sprint promotion at work ends very soon. Therefore, does it make sense to change to Sprint? I have never used Sprint so how does it compare to the reception of T-Mobile?

I'd switch to save money and if I needed (or wanted) a new, check w/ other people in your area as to network quality on both sides.
wish I could've got a free cam. phone,

don't be sure about saveing money with t-mobile yes there base prices are cheeper but when you start putting the extra features on they become more expensive. and of course lets not forget the huge loss in coverage with t-mobile. shoot if you really want to save money go with eather cricket or metro pcs unlimitecd for 30$
yes so what if you can only use it in the one city it is cheeper! (just hint of sarcasm)

Hmm, well, to give you an idea: I work in a hospital. When I lived in the Midwest, I couldn't even get a signal from my front porch with the Sprint phone!! No kidding. The reception kept cutting off when I was on the road, even when I was only a few miles from home and I lived in a city, not a town in the countryside.
I thought about switching from Verizon to Sprint, hearing from others that they have no reception problems with their sprint phones but the Sprint customer service person was rather abrupt, didn't want to help me much, and provided bad customer service in comparison to the persons from the TMobile stores. I can't vouch for TMobile in your area, but those I've known using TMobile have no complaints. I've called TMobile at the...

You should check with as many people in your general area as you can before making a decision. In the South Florida area, Sprint makes Tmobile look like MetroPCS. Down here, Sprint has better reception, MUCH better data services, and MUCH better voice quality (not to mention the coolest selection of phones on the market).

I have had Sprint for about 5 years now, prior to that I had AT&T (which I will never go back to). Sprint has been ok, and only ok, I wouldn't give it any higher rating than that. The only reason I have stuck with them is I get 25% off my monthly bill because I work for a large company and we get a corporate discount. I use a lot of minutes and with my discount no one else comes close to matching Sprints packages. I would love to dump Sprint and move to T-Mobile. My biggest complaint is Sprint isn't GSM, I travel and I want world roaming capability. They also have the worst phone selection. If you are happy with T-Mobile I would stick with them.
...
I love Sprint. I have been with them for about 7 yrs now. I live in Northern California and my service is excellent. The phone selection I think is great. I trade phones probably twice a year.
...
For northern CA I would definetly have to say your right with sprint broad coverage and half deccent selection of phones at a reasonable price !! My opinion sprint!! Anyone know any Cons about sprint??
...
With their 5 dollar no roaming promotion you can get coverage almost any where in U.S. while T-Mobile can't even roam plus 7 o'clock night minutes for 5 bucks plus the huge phone selection. On the other hand T-Mobile will give you more minutes for the money most of the time. Plus the difference in phone prices between one year or two year contract is quite noticeable. 1 year is 50-75 dollars more.

Where did you get that line of stuff? TMo can't ROAM? LOL...they have roaming arrangements with ATT and Cingular that I know of, and perhaps regional and rural carriers as well

T-Mobile's GSM... Can't not roam.
It can only use GSM. And At&t network is the same size and in the same area as T-Mobile(http://search.netscape.com/ns/boomfr ame.jsp?query=T-Mobile&page=1&offset=2&result _url=redir%3Fsrc%3Dwebsearch%26requestId%3Dc3 489921a4ccbc88%26clickedItemRank%3D1%26userQu ery%3DT-Mobile%26clickedItemURN%3Dhttp%253A%2 52F%252Fwww.t-mobile.com%252F%26invocationTyp e%3D-%26fromPage%3DNSCPTop%26amp%3BampTest%3D 1&remove_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.t-mobile.com%2F ) and AT&T(http://www.attwireless.com/global/maps/c overagemap.jhtml?zip=98052&map=Y&zipInpu...

tmobile is strictly gsm. where as sprint does gsm andf amps but i don't really expect you to really know what that is.
basically the way it beaks dow gsm covers maybe 60% of us if even that much, but it is pritty close to what cdma covers, however on the other hand amps is more like 90% of us land.
at&t maybe make up about 20% of t-mobils coverage aria. cingular on the other had t-maibil does not have an agrement with. they only have an agreement with at&t. it will be funny to see how all that works out since at&t merged with cinglar, and yes i know what you were thinking in that last post. since they have merdged t-mobile must be able to roam onto cingulars network now too. no it doesn't really work that way yet.
