Verizon vs. Sprint vs. T-Mobile
😕
I have decided to leave Verizon because they REFUSE to sell me an unlimited text package and the overages are KILLING me.
I am trying to decide if Sprint or T-Mobile will be better for me, and I'm really not sure.
I live in Phoenix, travel a lot, and I'm on my phone constantly. I will need e-mail, web browsing, and all of that stuff too.
Any feedback here or privately will be greatly appreciated.

t-mo gives you unl text, email, internet, and everything the other carriers do, and they work great all across the valley, at a very discounted rate.
driving to yuma, i never showed less than 3 bars, across open desert.
wickenburg was the only place i had a problem, but who doesn't up there?

unlimite in messaging and 2,500 other messages a month isnt enough for one month then you should probably switch carriers, get a job, and re think your life because you text entirely to much.

Sprints pretty good...i dont know your exact usage, but the 59.99 1000 minute plan might work. Its on the fair and flexable which is different than traditional overage charges...$5 for 50 extra minutes. Its tiered and adjusts to your usuage. Also, all the plans have nights starting at 7pm and include roaming on or off network nationwide. As for texting and web browsing...if you get a power vision phone like the samsung a900 or a920 (i use the 920...its excellent) you can get up to broadband speeds...its $15/month ( a little steep but worth it). Download mini opera from the phones browser (just go to mini.opera.com and it downloads it) and it allows you to surf any webpage you want and is free 🙂 Texting is unlimited for $15/month.

Justin,
The unlimited text packages for both Sprint and T-Mobile run about $15/month.
If you're on your phone constantly, like I am, Sprint just doesn't make sense from the money perspective.
Sprint's top plan for personal use is $99 for 2000 minutes and then $5 for every extra 50 minutes afterwards. (Unlimited nights and weekends are included and nights start at 7pm which is good.)
However, T-Mobile has a great plan for $130 a month which for 5000 minutes with unlimited nights and weekends (nights starting at 9pm local time).
The text messaging is easy as they're both the same.
For your voice calls, T-Mobile is far ahead of Sprint as far as value and the coverage is comparable.
If you're going to be using the internet, T-...
