Is Sprint a Good Carrier?
- Thread starter Melt_Man
- Start date
Thinking of switching from AT&T to Spint. Is Sprint a good carrier or are they
They are
Some people get great signal and then a guy a few miles away could look at his signal bar and be like
I hope you have wifi around cause the data ain't hittin' on shyt now with all of the tower upgrades going on.
I'm holding out for LTE, after connecting to the test towers and seeing it for myself, I'll be a happy customer when it's deployed in my neighborhood, which shouldn't be that long from now... I hope.
I don't know why they just don't turn the shyt on where I'm at already though, shyt was flying when they did.

The data speeds are severely lacking begins everyone else
Even Tmobile
They do offer unlimited calling text and web for the cheapest though and its pretty easy to get a employee discount

Yeah breh, data speeds are shytty..but when they finished with the upgrades it should be better than ATT but not quite Verizon (coverage wise)...make sure they have a LTE rollout going on in ya area before switching
If you don't care about data speeds its a pretty good carrier with cheap prices....If I wasn't such a big data user I would jump over to sprint

Yup. Lot of dead zones for 3G that I notice out here. It's really only a nuisance when I ride the train, cuz that the main time I'm trying to use 3G. Can't beat the price for unlimited data tho.
Don't switch over to Sprint.
I've been with them since I got my first cell phone and I'm about to break my contract, jump ship and go over to Verizon.
The phone signal isn't bad. I rarely get dropped calls and get reception most everywhere (though some of it's through roaming).
Texting is pretty solid, but sometimes it can fukk up and you'll have issues sending them.
Like everyone else has said, data is where you get fukked. Beyond the pathetic 3G speeds for browsing, I can't even send picture mail on 3G most of the time. It doesn't even have to be a full picture, the smileys from this site are a struggle to send to others people. "4G" is decent, but the speeds are obviously light years from what Verizon and AT&T currently offer, plus, the coverage for them is spotty as hell.
I live in Denver and it's not even available in all parts of the city.

Glad I get decent speeds, but the carrier you should jump to right now is T-Mobile.
Unlimited HSPA+ Speed on THEIR network?
No contest, T-Mobile is doing it big right now. If the next nexus is available on Day 1 (Or some nice WP8 piff) I am jumping to them immediately.
Sprint does not even list my city to get LTE anytime soon

the main attraction is its cheaper

Yeah no joke..tmobile shyt is fast as fukk...they 3g coverage aint all that tho..
i don't really have issues with dropped calls on Sprints like most....and sometimes I'm in bumblefukk USA with my job.
And like others said, you can't beat the price.

Change is inevitable...
If you're not a near a MAJOR metropolitan area the data speeds are gonna suck until they finish the upgrades
There's a website that had a list of all Sprints towers, you can do your math from there.
But I'm with Liquid on the idea that T-Mobile is the better deal. Verizon might have the best coverage and speeds but that 2 GB will go mighty fast if you're a power user.
