    Anyone have recent experience wirh Sprint? Wonder if their coverage is getting better? We have 18 months left on contract, unlimited text and data. Sprint supposedly is upgrading coverage but we still have dead zones. 4G on my phone but only works in town. And Sis got kicked off last month due to too much data roaming where she lives.

    broadmom don't get Sprint if your going OTR some parts in neveda & especially going on the I-80 by the mountains is definitely not good I think I roamed about a lil over 70 minutes calling different people. my trainer has Verizon phone & the apots I asked him if he roaming he said no I still got bars on my phone. while I was roaming in Wyoming he was fully covered with bars.

    This is the fastest speeds I have seen so far using my Iphone 5C, Indianapolis, Indiana. I enjoy the unlimited data and I use a lot of it, to avoid any issues with roaming my settings for roaming are voice only.

    Verizon has better coverage out west than Sprint, but I try not to run west of 35 too much so Sprint works great for me, besides Verizon screwed me hard back in 98 and I refuse to ever use them again.

    Right now Verizon and I aren't agreeing on my coverage.I wanted my phone and internet to be on the same plan.They charged me $276.00 for my phone bill and $137.00 for my internet.I wanted 10 g internet with my phone and jetpack combined.But they gave me 10 on my phone and 10 on my jetpack.I do not need no 20 gigabites.So I switched to 8.They want me to pay both bills and they'll pro rate it.But since I was misled and they messed up.I'm telling them im not paying it.So right now an associate is trying to knock off the $276.00 and only charge in what was suppose to be charged when I first got this plan a month ago.

    patty your not the only one I see complaininh about Verizon messing up your bill. you can check Verizon wireless Facebook page & looking at 90% of those customers raging comments would prevent me from going to Verizon. I want to go
    I don't want to deal with the improper billing. that's the only reason im considering at&t. Verizon on top of there game in the industry but they need to fix they dilemma with there customers
