    I've been with Sprint since 2002 and I don't have many if any complaints. As for as my bill goes, If my penny pinching wife hasn't complained about our bill then theres definately nothing wrong.

    next month will be 10 years with Sprint for me (I still get a 27% discount thru a former BIG corporate employer)
    I have 3 lines, an AiRave repeater, 1500 anytime to split, unlimited mobile-mobile, nights/wknds at 7pm unlimited text/data, insurance for all 3 phones, and roadside assistance on my wife's phone - $154/mo WITH all taxes
    I know people with 20%+ discounts paying more than taht with VZW, 1 line, and in one month, they couldn't afford to use anywhere near the badnwidth I use in one week!

    don't have Sprint Zone on this Kernel (ACS ICS)
    Yeah, it was when I worked for CitiGroup (as far as I know they are the only company to get that much of a discount, with any carrier, most are 15-25%)

    Has anyone tried millenicom? They have an unlimited plan for 69.99. According to their customer service "The Standard and Advanced plans utilize the Verizon footprint and the Unlimited and BYOD (Bring your own device) plans utilize the Sprint footprint. Where they cover we cover."

    I also have the 1500 anytime, free mobile to mobile, We have 5 lines and our bill runs us about $200 a month before my discount. I get 10% off just for being a member of a credit union and we have some other discount. Sprint has been good to me over the years.

    I have the Virgin mobile mifi. I don't have any complaints with them. They use the sprint network so for $50 you can get unlimited monthly. I use it all the time for netflix and don't have any problems at all. I don't do games but I don't think the speed would be good for gaming. Also you can buy the top-up cards at the TA's and Love's and some of the flying J's.
     
    sailorman1 Thanks this.
