Cell phones forum: Sprint or Verizon ?

Here it's ok, but you don't live where I do so the only way to find out is to ask around where you live.

If all you want is talk and text, why get a smart phone? Can you stand one of those feature phones that only talk and text?

I started with Cellular One, went to Sprint for free incoming first minute, then to GTE, which became Verizon. I can say Verizon has been the best. As for phone, there are phones which do not need data plans. Best to go in and talk to people or call customer service. But look at Consumers Reports- Verizon always top there too.

Hi,We have had sprint for several years without any problem although they have had a higher rate than some they had consistent billing. This Christmas i purchased 3 htc evos. I was grossly misinformed by the sales representative and this person preceded to put my 3 phones on separate family plans. I received the phones on the 13th but was leaving out of town and never activated the first one until the 17 and the other 2 several days later. this is when the billing error came to my attention, after several phone calls where as I was often told i was being switched or put on hold and i was instead hung up on or sent to a computer with no options at which I had to hang up. I finally found out today I am 2 days past the disconnect without a charge date because I am in the computer as activating the phones on the 12th and my 99$ phones have about 2 days for me to mail in a rebate that I wasnt sent any information on causeing my phones to be 159$ in stead. I am reconsidering sprint.

They're maps they show on their commercials and ads are nothing but a ploy to compete with AT&T's maps etc They basically all work the same. And like mentioned, it depends where you live. Sprint is good, getting better too.. I'd say if you're not into that whole smart phone apps thing, then go with Sprint. They can offer you more for less because they're trying to compete with ATT and Verizon. With those, you're basically paying for a name. Just cuz it's a lil less doesn't mean it's not good. Just means it's not that brand.
