Oh...Sprint sucks, of course, but they all suck, so why the irrational loyalty? My only problem now is to choose between TMO and Cingular....Hmmmm....I wonder which one is better. Do you think they both suck? Nah, couldn't be....
I went into several Sprint stores. I investigated both Sprint and Cingular extensively for well over a month. I tried to get Cingular service, but it is not available in my area. I tried to get five different Cingular places to sell me service, but I couldn't get it.
Sprint does not have any towers where I work. Zero service. Check their coverage map...if you are not on a major highway you get no PCS service. Want to pay $5 extra for roaming? Great! You pay the same for half the minutes. Also...no PCS, no web or email access, so what's the point?
I have gone over this time and time again. I have checked out every other carrier. Verizon is the only one that will work in the places I am the most...home and work. I use my cell phone for long distance calls. I need to get my email and catch up on web stuff at work but I can't because the school server blocks 99.5% of the internet...including all blogs and message boards.
It's not like I am not willing to pay a wireless company money for the service. i want the service, but I have a situation where I will have to do what comes least naturally to me...be patient.
