    I am not OTR, yet, but I have used both AT&T and Verizon. Started off the AT&T switched to Verizon for better coverage and unlimited Data, then back to AT&T a few weeks back as upgrading my phone with Verizon was going to cause a loss of my unlimited Data package. AT&T had the better option for the Data. As far as dropped calls; I live in the hill country of Texas, lose a call every now and then dropping down into a gap, bottom or off the top of a mesa. Other than this both have served about the same over the past few years. Out west in Oregon where I have a few friends, any of the interstate corridors I never had an issue. Crossing over a pass there are places you loose a signal. As stated earlier, both are pricey so shop around for what suits your specific needs. I settled for 3GB/ month and set a warning at 2.75GB used, limit a connection to wifi unless I override and have no problems so far on a Galaxy III.

    Thanks for the feedback, Went to Sprint store today and found out need to wait till after the 15th so I dont get termination fees rom Us celluler. Aslo found out can get both the I4s phone that I need for free. And the kit to connect phone to my TV is $30. Sounds good to me.

    sprint put themselves in a bind.

    they were the first to offer 4g. but it was wimax. and for whatever reason. sprint decided to ditch them after a year. so here we are a year later waiting for there LTE to rollout the 4g. which means sprint will be the last to have it.

    sprint speeds are very good. if you can find yourself in a 4g area. but for the most part. your stuck with 3g. till they get the ball rolling.

    i'm betting sprint is losing a lot of customers becuase of that. we once had 4g in salt lake. not anymore.

    Should have bought the phone outright. We bought ours to keep the unlimited, but I use 20gb a month.

    Well, I've been with Sprint for years. HAD great unlimited.... BUT, I'll be switching to Verizon this morning, why? Because where I run, and live, Sprint now decides this area is now roaming. Wasn't before, but what a great way to make additional money, just change it for all your loyal customers. It's also a great way to run off your loyal customers.

    My step-daughter just changed her (Sprint) plan because she wanted the latest and greatest phone, and iphone. We were all on a family plan. Since she wanted this, it removed her from our plan, and locked her into that 2 yr agreement. She's now stuck for the next 2 yrs with this "new roaming area".

    I don't need to watch video via my phone on the road. I'm lucky enough that the company I drive for only runs us M-F, and regional, mostly just in Kansas. I do need to occasionally use Google maps on my phone, and maybe check in on this forum. Staying with Sprint, this will drastically increase my bill, since I will be charged a roaming rate.
