SPRINT SUCKS Options

[rnicron]

BIG TIME!

[Elba]

No shit, Sherlock.

Verizon > Sprint.

[icecreamisyummy]

i personally like sprint

cingular/at&t SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! false advertisement

[Elba]

So why does Sprint suck?

And why does AT&T suck?

[icecreamisyummy]

theres never any signal AND my calls are always dropped.

"fewest dropped calls" idk theyre lying about that one. i had fewest dropped calls with tmobile

[Just_Dream]

tmobile's better cause the plans are cheap.

Sprint plans suck and their phones suck, imo.

Verizon > Cingular > Tmobile > Sprint in terms of reception where I live.


I want verizon, but I want cool phones too. =X

[icecreamisyummy]

hows alltell wait is that what it called?

[EddieV]

::cough:: I use T-Mobile T__T

[icecreamisyummy]

i sooo shouldve stayed with tmobile

[EddieV]

^ If you did FREE MOBILE TO MOBILE! iono...my girlfriend uses Cingular. So we talk at night, and weekends, or emergencies.

[icecreamisyummy]

that free mobile to mobile came out after i switch to freaken cingular.... but i got cingular because my bf at the time had cingular and we were having a long distance relationship and well.. u know

now my whole family has cingular.

[EddieV]

^ That makes sense. T-Mobile has that top 5 now so that's awesome.

[icecreamisyummy]

top 5 doesnt work if u dont have money or a job or a car

[EddieV]

^ Well that's true too..blah.

[superficial]

I have Verizon atm... I mean, they're great with reception, but their phones? Kinda janky. I'd settle for T-Mobile, and I heard that Cingular does get a lot of drop calls.

Phones wise:

T-Mobile > Cingular > Verizon = Sprint

Reception Wise (SF, CA):

Verizon > Cingular > T-Mobile > Sprint

[EddieV]

I basiclaly spend my days in the NYC area, I have perfect signal for T-Mobile. Thought once I reach my 48th floor office, I don't get any signal.

[rnicron]

So why does Sprint suck?

And why does AT&T suck?

Because I've been in the store and on the phone with them since 9:30 this morning and my problem STILL isn't resolved. My phone keeps freezing and randomly doesn't work so I just want a new phone at a discounted price because I've only had my phone for 5 months, but that's too much to ask. Fucking just give me the phone I want without all this bullshit. They keep saying they'll credit my account and that I can use that to order online. Rebate doesn't show up, I don't order. Call back, "OH! You can online use that rebate in the store". Go to the store, "Uh, that rebate doesn't work with our systems". Call back, "OH! You can only order with that rebate on the phone". GOD DAMN PIECE OF SHIT! I've been on the phone with 7 reps and talked to 4 different people in 2 different stores.

[Insurmountable]

I like Cingular

Of course I lost all my signal last night

[rnicron]

It's really starting to piss me off. My mom has a lady at work who has a son who's a higher-up at Sprint and I'll just call him directly tomorrow.

[1angel3]

I heard cricket was a crappy company.

[rnicron]

I heard cricket was a crappy company.

It is. Probably not as crappy as Sprint right now, though.

[1angel3]

I like Cingular

Of course I lost all my signal last night

Me too. That's the first time cingular/AT&T ever gave me problems

It is. Probably not as crappy as Sprint right now, though.

I never heard many people complain about sprint as much as cricket. Cricket have good deals though.

[missnh]

Cingular is the best.

[pandamonium]

tmobile's better cause the plans are cheap.

Sprint plans suck and their phones suck, imo.

Actually verizon is getting better in terms of phones, did you see their new line up. JUKE | VOYAGER | VENUS and another one i forgot.

but what i hate hate hate hate about verizon is that all their phone interfaces are controlled by verizon and they are all the same and boring......... the phone maybe really nice but they are all the same due to their platform.

AND my friends pay a hell of a lot more with verizon, one friend pays 70 for himself and my whole family (3 people) pay only 50+10 (unlimited txt) which equals only 60... crazy aint it.

Tmobile is really good with their plans but their reception is okay.

i might switch to cingular or just stay with tmobile cause i love both of their phones.

[EddieV]

As terrible as T-Mobile signals may be I'm proud with it as cellphones are meant to be used outdoors either way. When I'm in my house I have a house phone, and when I'm at work I have my own workline.

[Elba]

Haha, Spencer. At Verizon, if your phone is f**king up, they just give you another one. Of course, it's most likely going to be a refurbished phone.

[rnicron]

I think my problem is I'm trying to milk a new, more expensive phone out of them. I already have a $150 credit now and 100 extra minutes for the month, but I've told them repeatedly I'm not going to pay full price now and wait for the mail-in-rebate to come later.

[icecreamisyummy]

i think motorola phones suck in general.

[EddieV]

^ Only good thing about it is since it's an American phone, easy to find accessories.

[icecreamisyummy]

mine used to turn on and off by itself even durign a call. sometimes it would tell me if was charging me for random stuff, but it would never show up on the bill. i was like.. ok

[Elba]

Motorola > LG

All I'm trying to do is get that phone, NOT EVEN FREE, just at a discounted price since I haven't had my other for 5 months. I'm willing the pay the $99.99 which is after I sign up for a new 2 year contract and get the $150, but that's WAY too easy.

[icecreamisyummy]

i have a sony ericsson now so far so good

[toxicity584]

this is why i have at&t i love it and they are the only cell service that allows you to purchase phones with their company internationally...cool beans..

[rnicron]

FUCK IT! I'm still dealing with this shit and they still aren't doing anything.

[StandardEdition]

::cough:: I use T-Mobile T__T

lol me 2

[rnicron]

FINALLY!!!!

I found some executive phone number and I'm all of this thing now.

[shadowfax]

Good luck.

Fido > the rest.

[rnicron]

What is Fido?

Here's what finally happened:
After fighting with more than 10 people, I knew about this website and found some excutive people's numbers. I called the front desk and she transfered me to another lady who ordered the phone, made it the online price like I'd talked about with the first lady, and said the phone'll be here tomorrrow. THANK GOD!

[sheridan_whitesi...]

T-mobile uses 1900 MHz. This means it sucks at going through walls, because that's the highest freq. of any of the major carriers. Things could be worse, though, I could have a crappy phone from Verizon locked out of running Java apps and media files not provided from them at a stupid cost. Oh, and buying phones through carriers is lame, I found out the hard way.

[no-name]

Sprint does suck, So does T-Mobile and AT&T.

Alltel is best. Plus Alltel has that thing where you can call any 10 people on any network.

Alltel>AT&T>Sprint>T-MObile

[*Steven*]

arid works?

[stephinika]

Good luck.

Fido > the rest.

Woot. Yeh Fido!

[shadowfax]

Woot. Yeh Fido!

Hmm. Is Fido is only available in Canada?

[icecreamisyummy]

they have metropcs in florida.

[Bonobo]

I'm surprised Verizon isn't turning into a Monopoly by now. I think not only their service is good, but I mean their deals are incredible.

[Just_Dream]

Actually, Verizon came fromt he merging of Airtouch, GTE, and some other cell-phone service company, from the past. I just remember my half sister having Airtouch and GTE back when I was in elementary school. Damn, that was like 10 years ago. And I heard those companies were really good back then. Monopoly? No, but the fact that they have the best reception and customer service, it means something, right?


Tmobile and at&t (stfu people, it's NOT cingular anymore!) are good only in the sense that you can get AMAZING DEALS on imported phones (overseas phones, anyone?). Tmobile's cool since I can still stick with 1-year contracts. I might end up switching if another company (wth GSM sim cards) comes in with better service and reception. I guess I just like that flexibility.

Zed - what, you only pay $60? WTF? I pay $75/month for 2 lines (700 minutes, free nights, weekends and m2m) and 400 texts. Which family plan do you have?!

[*Steven*]

I like Sprint. I have good reception, a decent phone, amazing customer support (if I need to ask a question or something arises), unlimited everything, and two other lines with the same for 95 a month. Oh yeah, 1000 minutes.

I'm going to get a Helio (LOL I know) Ocean after my sprint contract is up. They seem to have everything I've got now + better reception. Also their "phones" (I can't call it a phone for sure because I'll wake up underwater with a fish about to murder me) are really cool imo. If I don't get that, I'm getting a Blackberry because I'm kinda tired of flip phones haha. Well, at least mine. The Samsung A900.

[Uronacid]

Verizon, and Sprint have great data plans...
T-Mobile and AT&T have shitty ones. They'll get better soon though...
I hope...

I have the Samsung A920, but I didn't tell Sprint I still had it. Not that it would have mattered anyway.

[rnicron]

I finally got ahold of Sprint again and got my tracking number since they couldn't find it last night. I figured I'd be phoneless until next week, but the package comes today.

Uh, I guess you can close this.

Sprint still sucks, but they're a bit better now.

Dude, I remember Airtouch! My dad used to have it back in the day. That phone was so wack now that I think about it. Of course, back then, I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

[rnicron]

are you kidding me lol
you are the first person that i know of that uses alltel

Kara uses it.

Do your jobs!

[Elba]

Well, I was going to keep it open since there was still some discussion going on; but, if you insist, Spencer, I'll go ahead and "do my job".
