Sprint is giving me the boot

Well, I got a letter from sprint the other day about my "excessive" roaming. They are ending my contract and waiving the early termination fee. I was first thinking of Straight Talk, but I would have hardly any coverage using our old Sprint phones (CDMA-S map is pathetic compaired to the other three). So I'm most likely going to go to T-Moble. If complain about roaming and also give me the boot, I'll have a GSM phone to pop another sim card into.

 

Many guys use Verizon and have decent luck. At least they have never tossed anyone for 'excessive roaming' but
I have actually heard about your bad luck happening to others using Sprint.

They waive the ETF and kick you off in order to save them money.
Just like when a few customers called customer service one too many times - Sprint also tossed them off.

My favorite? - A buddy of mine got charged for going over his Unlimited Data plan.
That was a new low, even by Sprint standards!

 

Verizon is my carrier of choice. Very few dropped calls (when out in the boonies) but other then that good stuff. I have unlimited data but only 750 min. of talk time. I was about to go over it one month and I called to see about adding if it would save me money instead of overages. They gave me a "complimentary" 500 min. to cover that month

 

Gotta love the big corporations .......... For the record verizon sucks too !

 

Each cell company has pros/cons. There really isn't a perfect one.
It boils down to who is the best of the worst I guess!

 

Welcome to the club!

Went to a pre-paid type verizon phone for 6 months after the sprint fiasco. Now converted over to a regular plan.
Also switched my internet over to millenicom. That is actually still on sprint, but have none of the sprint problems.

 

Get you a Straight Talk CDMA phone. That's the Verizon one. I use to be on Sprint before that move. Best move I ever made. They don't care if you roam because they contract off all of them.

I just bought a GSM/SIM card and it was a nightmare. I had my old phone turned back on until I find a CDMA I like.

 

I would check t mobile now ,they just ended all contracts & plus you can bring on any phone that will work on their network

 

The "no contract" and unlimited everything got my attention. I don't want a cheap feature phone (I'm spoiled, I know). And I was with Verizon and left them. It is funny that Sprint is willing to just "give" us a iPhone 4s and HTC EVO 4gLTE after only one year of a two year contract. Oh well, we plan on selling the old phones to help pay for the new ones.

 

Isn't that great? You want to bail and they charge the heck outta you. They wanna terminate it and, tough luck.
